On the 23rd, we were to leave Anping County.
He said goodbye to Gu An'an before leaving.
Gu An'an thought for a moment and said very seriously, "Actually, you might as well talk to Manager Bai properly. I'm not interested in your young master, and there's really no need to treat me as a formidable enemy."
These words were so blunt that even Twenty-Three was taken aback.
Among the noble ladies of the capital, there were quite a few who were passionate and unrestrained, and some even threw fruit at Wei Jie's carriage to the point of death.
But few people are as direct as Gu An'an.
Where does a young widow get this confidence?
Ironically, Twenty-Three believed what Gu An'an said, and he actually thought there was nothing wrong with it.
Gu An'an was indeed cold and indifferent to the young master, and the young master also harbored a somewhat teasing attitude. On the contrary, Bai Qiaoyin was so concerned that she became confused, seeing everyone as an enemy, and thus lost her original calm demeanor.
However, he would not say this to Bai Qiaoyin, as it would only provoke her anger.
"Farewell."
Gu An'an felt as if she had hit thin air with a stick.
Forget it, they're not eating and drinking for free, why bother making such a fuss?
After selling the remaining soup, Gu An'an packed up her stall and went home early.
Back in the small courtyard, Jiang Mingxu was sitting under the pomegranate tree, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.
"Mom, you're back."
The little boy limped towards Gu An'an, which made Gu An'an feel sad.
It's unacceptable that he can't even run as fast as Bao'er.
"Why are you all alone? Where are your older brother and sister?"
“My sister went to the cloth shop to buy fabric, and my brother went with her. Bao’er went along too.”
Gu An'an found it strange, picked up the little boy and carried him into the house, "Then why didn't you go?"
"I don't want to go out." Jiang Mingxu leaned on Gu An'an's shoulder. He smelled the cooking fumes, but it smelled so good, much better than those cosmetics.
The little boy's answer made Gu An'an's heart ache. "After a while, Mother will take you to see a doctor, to treat your brother, and to have Mingxu's leg checked, okay?"
Jiang Mingxu sat on the bed, swinging his legs happily like a fish swimming in water. "Actually, it's nothing. I just don't like going out. My brother said he'll bring me some when he comes back..."
Realizing he had let something slip, Jiang Mingxu quickly covered his mouth and said pitifully for a moment, "Mother, can you pretend you didn't hear me?"
Gu An'an was both amused and exasperated. "Wait until your teeth grow in before you eat it. Can't you wait a few days, you little glutton?"
The little boy quickly explained, "No, Mom, look, my teeth have already grown in." He opened his mouth wide to show Gu An'an.
They are children after all, and their innocence and liveliness shine through in every aspect.
Gu An'an rubbed the little head, "Alright, alright, Mommy saw it, but it's just sprouting and hasn't fully grown yet, let's wait a little longer."
"How much longer do I have to wait? I brushed my teeth carefully."
He's really serious about it; after all, if his teeth don't grow in properly, he won't be able to enjoy many delicious foods.
"Mom, let me tell you, Bao'er doesn't brush her teeth properly; she's always being lazy."
After betraying his little sister, the little boy blinked and said, "Don't tell anyone I told you, or my brother will definitely beat me."
"Why?"
"Brother loves Bao'er more than her. She's the youngest sister in the family, so of course he feels sorry for her." The little boy had already stood up obediently and stood behind Gu An'an to massage her shoulders. "I also feel sorry for Bao'er. I said I wanted to massage her shoulders to help her grow taller, but brother wouldn't let me."
The child didn't have much strength, but the massage points were quite good.
Gu An'an felt as if all her fatigue had been swept away.
"Mom, I've learned a lot from the old man next door. From now on, I'll massage your shoulders and legs every day. Can you let me have some snacks?"
Gu An'an: "..." After going around in circles, it all came down to food. It's true that people die for food.
"So, if I don't give you any snacks, I won't massage your shoulders?"
Jiang Mingxu sensed something and waved his hands repeatedly, "How could that be? I'm not such an unfilial child. I'm very obedient. I'm still learning to recognize acupuncture points. Once I've figured them out, I'll give Mother acupuncture. Old Man Tian said it will be more effective that way."
Acupuncture.
Gu An'an has been afraid of injections since she was a child. She doesn't mind others getting injections, but she can't stand it herself.
She still didn't enjoy this extraordinary treatment.
"Study hard, and I'll give your brother acupuncture later."
Jiang Mingxu nodded seriously, "Yes, if he bullies me, I'll prick him with a needle."
Gu An'an was amused by his childish words, "When has your older brother ever bullied you?"
Despite having clashed with the original owner of the body quite a bit, Jiang Mingyi had always been very protective of his younger siblings. He remembered that in the book, he didn't have any direct grudges against the male and female leads. His involvement as a major villain was partly due to differing stances, but also because he favored his own siblings.
That guy is a fiercely protective person.
Jiang Mingxu changed his words without changing his expression, "Mother, you're too tired, you misheard me. I said if anyone bullies my brother and the others, I'll prick them with needles."
You can't just stab people like that.
Gu An'an felt that the path of education was truly arduous and long. The saying "It takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to cultivate a person" is indeed true.
The mother and daughter were talking inside when Jiang Mingyi and his siblings returned.
Jiang Mingzhu carried a lot of things and piled them up in front of Gu An'an like a treasure.
"I saw this piece of fabric at the cloth shop, and I think it suits you best, Mom. How about I make you a dress later?"
Actually, her mother wasn't much older than her, so she should also wear pretty clothes.
It was a light red fabric that felt very smooth to the touch.
