Her stomach rumbled, and Gu An'an rubbed it. Remembering that there were still several babies at home waiting to be fed, she struggled to her feet.
As Gu An'an emerged from the kitchen, her legs feeling unsteady, she realized something was wrong.
She met four girls in the family: the second daughter, Jiang Mingzhu, the third daughter, and Bao'er.
Where is the eldest brother, Jiang Mingyi?
As the oldest of the four villains, Jiang Mingyi has always taken care of his younger siblings.
Right now, both the Gu family and the Jiang family want to sell Jiang Mingzhu for money. Where is this older brother who loves his younger siblings the most?
Walking briskly to the main room, Gu An'an looked at the two little sprouts huddled on the bed, and her eyelids twitched suddenly.
Jiang Mingzhu has also run away!
It's likely that the girl overheard her and Jiang's second sister-in-law pretending to discuss sending her to the county, and then, taking advantage of her time in the kitchen, she seized the opportunity to run away.
The two children on the bed huddled together, looking at their stepmother who stood there with a dark expression.
Although they were inside the house, they heard and saw it.
Today's stepmothers are different from those of the past.
In the past, my mother could never win an argument with my aunt and her family. Whenever my aunt bullied her, she would take it out on them, and would hit them with a broom at the drop of a hat.
But today, she actually drove all those women away.
wrong!
She was full of mischief; she had somehow gotten hold of a pastry and handed it to Bao'er with a smile.
Bao'er, being greedy, couldn't resist taking it, and was immediately slapped across the face.
They even stuffed snacks into Bao'er's mouth, almost choking her to death.
That wicked woman is definitely plotting something bad to get back at them.
We must absolutely not let our guard down.
Do you know where my eldest brother and second sister went?
Bao'er looked at the kind-faced woman, her little mouth moving as if she was about to speak, when her mouth was covered.
"We don't know!" Even if we did know, we wouldn't tell you.
Gu An'an looked at the wary little boy and slowly walked to the bedside. "It's okay if you don't tell me, but if they are taken away and sold to human traffickers as servants and maids, and you lose your older brothers and sisters, don't blame me."
The little boy's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly looked up and said, "That's still better than being..."
Suddenly meeting Gu An'an's gaze, he quickly lowered his head and swallowed the rest of his sentence.
Do not provoke, be patient, and the clouds will eventually part and the moon will shine.
Looking at the little boy whose face was filled with "I must endure," Gu An'an couldn't connect him with the ghost doctor from Medicine King Valley in the book.
She shook her head. "Then you and Bao'er wait at home. I'll go find them and bring them back."
The original owner dug a huge pit for her, what could Gu An'an do? Since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it and fill in these pits little by little.
If you fill it completely and firmly, you won't have to worry about falling into the pit.
As for the grudges with these children, let's resolve them slowly.
She has always liked children, and she is especially drawn to good-looking kids.
It's not like it was born a bad one. As long as you take good care of it, you can still grow a healthy bok choy, right?
A cool breeze was blowing outside. Gu An'an pulled her thin cotton coat tighter around herself and set off on her search for the person.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she leaned against an old tree by the roadside and couldn't help but gasp for breath.
This is truly a case of "looking at the mountain but running to your death."
There was a fork in the road not far away, and she drove around for most of the way but still couldn't find the two children!
Where can we go?
The four siblings had a very good relationship, and the two older siblings would never abandon the two younger ones and disappear without a trace.
Since they won't run away, then...
Gu An'an stomped her foot in anger, "Then why run away?"
The most dangerous place is the safest place; those two kids must still be near home!
Gu An'an hurriedly ran back, and sure enough, she saw two teenagers after only a few steps.
The two children saw her too and ran away.
Gu An'an: ...Am I a tigress or is there some cough syrup ahead? Why are you running so fast!
Being a stepmother is a really inhuman job.
Gu An'an hurriedly chased after them, but unexpectedly, after only a few steps, the two children turned around and ran back.
"Is this it?"
What's past is past, and she won't hold it against the two children. Can't she just live happily as a family, get rich, and live a comfortable life?
Before her smile could fully bloom, someone bumped into her shoulder, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
Gu An'an looked up, about to say that Jiang Mingzhu was unsteady on her feet, when she saw a tiger walking towards her.
On the narrow mountain road, the tiger's bright colors were extremely eye-catching.
Now, they are eyeing her with predatory intent!
Gu An'an was so scared she almost peed her pants!
Although she does biological research, her research focuses mainly on plants, and she's not familiar with animals.
She was terrified whenever she saw news reports of tourists being attacked and eaten by tigers after getting off tour buses at the zoo.
We're face to face with a tiger right now?
She didn't even have time to think about whether Jiang Mingzhu had bumped into her on purpose.
Now, all Gu An'an wants is to live.
Even Wu Song had to drink three bowls of wine before he could cross the hill to fight the tiger, so how could she possibly fight with a shovel bare-handed?
The thought had barely formed in her mind when Gu An'an, struggling to her feet, found something in her hand—
An entrenching tool.
This seems to be an entrenching tool she bought online a while ago. She heard it's good for growing vegetables, so she bought one to play with.
But what use is an entrenching tool when facing a tiger?
Give me an AK-47 if you dare!
Unfortunately, the perks of transmigrating into a book obviously don't include such firearms.
Gu An'an held the entrenching tool and looked at the tiger that was roaring at her.
