If this really is the lost child, I believe they would be very happy. After all, they have been searching for that child for more than ten years.
......
For the entire morning, the two followed Niu Quan around.
Jiang Anxia felt that if she continued walking, her feet wouldn't belong to her anymore. After walking all morning, she really couldn't walk anymore.
"Alright, from now on, that house is yours. Here are the keys, take them." Niu Quan led the two out of the housing management bureau, feeling a sense of relief.
He was exhausted after that morning!
"Thank you very much, Brother Niu," Gu Yanzhu said softly.
"Why say all this? It's what I should do." Niu Quan waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned.
"Alright, everything's done now, and the money's been paid. I'll be going now. I'll give Uncle Zhang his money this afternoon." Niu Quan glanced at the sky.
Seeing that it was getting late and his elderly relatives were waiting for him to eat, he decided to head back first.
"Brother Niu, could you please have lunch at the state-run restaurant this morning before going home?" Jiang Anxia was quite adept at social etiquette.
"No need, my family is waiting! I won't go. See you next time!" With that, Niu Quan waved and turned to leave.
"Let's go! I'll take you to eat something delicious." Gu Yanzhu approached the little girl, wanting to hold her hand, but he didn't dare.
"Okay!" Jiang Anxia smiled sweetly. As long as she was by Gu Yanzhu's side, she wouldn't overthink things. As for why, she didn't know herself.
"Mm." Gu Yanzhu smiled gently and took the lead.
......
In the afternoon, the two had lunch and were cleaning the house, since it hadn't been lived in for a long time and there was still a lot of dust.
Jiang Anxia carried a basin of water and sprinkled it everywhere, so that there wouldn't be so much dust when cleaning.
Gu Yanzhu took a handkerchief and wiped the furniture and other items in the house.
These pieces of furniture were purchased with money that Jiang Anxia gave to Niu Quan separately, so she didn't need to buy any more.
After that, she only needs to buy some small items.
By 5 p.m., the house had been cleaned.
Jiang Anxia and Gu Yanzhu stood in the original sin, looking at the house that had become spotless, and felt very satisfied.
"Let's call it a day! I'll go cook for you." Jiang Anxia's voice sounded tired; after all, she had been busy all day and was exhausted.
But Gu Yanzhu told her that she was still tired.
"Stop messing around, let's go eat at the state-run restaurant!" Gu Yanzhu pulled Jiang Anxia back as she tried to leave.
Cooking can be tiring, so I'd better not do it.
"Sweetie! I want you to rest for a while." Seeing the little girl's hesitation, Gu Yanzhu took her hand and was about to leave.
"I agree, just slow down!" Jiang Anxia's short legs moved incredibly fast.
Gu Yanzhu didn't consider her height at all! His leg length means her legs are just as long!
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanzhu smiled sheepishly; he had indeed forgotten that.
After dinner, Gu Yanzhu took the little girl home, and then, taking advantage of the daylight, walked home himself. (I'm sure you know what "walking" is, right? U'? ` U)
However, he was stopped by someone about a hundred meters from his home.
He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Jiang's mother, who was blocking his way. "Is there something you need, Auntie?"
It seems that Jiang's mother isn't so heartless after all! But kicking the little girl out late at night, I don't know what she was thinking.
If anything had happened to the little girl, he wouldn't have been able to blame her for what she did. But thankfully, the little girl was unharmed.
"Where is she?" Jiang's mother came to find Gu Yanzhu, guessing that Gu Yanzhu's leave today must be related to Jiang Anxia.
That's why I came to him to ask where Jiang Anxia was.
"I don't know." If Gu Yanzhu was very polite to Jiang's mother at first, that politeness disappeared completely after the little girl said she was leaving the Jiang family.
“Don’t lie, you know that.” Mother Jiang frowned.
She admitted that she hadn't thought things through last night. She was so angry at the time that she hadn't considered this point.
She only realized this this morning. But by then it was too late.
After Jiang Wang returned, she went to the mountain to look for him, but she couldn't find him.
As for the others, she stopped them and told them not to go looking for them.
Even if the others were worried, they dared not disobey Mother Jiang, so they could only suppress their worries and do what needed to be done.
"And what should I do after I tell your aunt? Tell the girl to go far away and never come back to this place, because you feel uneasy seeing her? I don't know exactly what happened, but I can't just kick someone out of the house in the dark." Gu Yanzhu's voice was cold and sharp.
His little girl is not someone to be bullied.
"Enough. Even if that's the case, so what! I've raised her for over ten years, she should listen to me." Mother Jiang said coldly.
From the moment she found Jiang Anxia, she was reluctant to keep her.
She wouldn't have agreed if Old Jiang hadn't pleaded with her so earnestly. But later, as Jiang Anxia grew up and unintentionally saved her life, she stopped spoiling her so much.
Otherwise, Jiang Anxia would be just like the other girls in the brigade.
"I'm sorry, I won't tell you. Say goodbye to your relationship with that girl, along with what happened last night!" Gu Yanzhu smiled slightly, her voice indifferent.
Anything that is detrimental to the little girl should be avoided if possible.
Jiang's mother didn't speak, but stared intently at Gu Yanzhu, trying to see something in his eyes.
But she was disappointed. Gu Yanzhu didn't show any signs of anything amiss.
Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of Gu Yanzhu, Jiang's mother turned and left.
Well then, perhaps their fate with Jiang Anxia has truly come to an end. Let things remain as they are from now on!
Gu Yanzhu watched as Jiang's mother left without saying a word, and something welled up in her heart, but it vanished in an instant.
That's it, let's leave it at that! What happens next, we'll see!
"Ayan, where did you go today?" Lin Bai suddenly appeared and stood behind Gu Yanzhu, asking.
Gu Yanzhu sighed helplessly, thinking that having such a friend was a blessing.
"Something happened. Did anything happen in the brigade today?"
"What happened? Nothing happened!" Lin Bai thought for a moment. Nothing really had happened.
"I understand." Gu Yanzhu sneered.
Such a grown man disappeared from the Jiang family, and no one even bothered to look for him. It seems they need to redefine their attitude towards the little girl.
"Hey! Ayan, why do you ask that? Did something happen?" Lin Bai was curious now.
What exactly happened to make Ayan like this?
"You don't need to worry about it, go back." Gu Yanzhu glanced at the silly-looking Lin Bai, somewhat helplessly.
"Huh? Yan, why don't you say something? Don't you know that saying only half of what you mean can easily get you beaten up?" Lin Bai followed Gu Yanzhu's footsteps, constantly scolding him in Gu Yanzhu's ear.
