Jiang Ersao was cooking at home. She sent Cuicui and Xiaofei to Gu An'an's place to eat meat. She wondered if the two children knew how to take care of themselves, but they should eat more.
Don't let that little slut Gu An'an trick you.
The thought of how she had been taken advantage of by Gu An'an made Jiang Ersao feel uneasy.
This sister-in-law is usually incredibly muddle-headed, but today she seems like a completely different person.
If Jiang Ersao didn't know Gu An'an so well, she would have really thought that this person had been switched.
She had just put the rice in the pot and was about to go to the stove to start a fire when her daughter rushed in.
Jiang Ersao was very surprised. "Didn't you go to your third aunt's house for meat? Why are you back? Where's Xiaofei?"
The villagers all said they heard a tiger roar today. Jiang Ersao thought that the old hunter was just mistaken because he was old. Otherwise, how could a tiger come down the mountain empty-handed?
But her son was the apple of her eye, and she couldn't afford to make even the slightest mistake.
Seeing her mother's anxious look, Jiang Cuicui's initial confusion dissipated. "Mother, everyone in the village says there's a tiger. If a tiger really comes to eat people, do you think you'll protect me or my brother?"
What is the problem?
Jiang Ersao frowned. "Mother will protect you. Cuicui, where's your brother?"
Jiang Cuicui was very persistent, "What if you can only protect one?"
This typical question of which brother to save made Jiang Ersao a little impatient. "You're the older sister, you have to protect your younger brother, don't you know that?"
Jiang Cuicui laughed when she heard this, "What if Xiaofei is older than me? Mother, you would still save Xiaofei, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Did someone spread rumors to you?" Jiang Ersao immediately realized what was going on. "It must be that little hussy Gu An'an sowing discord. How could you listen to her?"
Yeah?
But why couldn't her mother give her a clear answer?
Jiang Cuicui looked at her mother. The seed of doubt had already been planted, and it was just waiting for a more suitable opportunity to take root and sprout.
"Third Aunt is talking nonsense, Mother, don't be angry."
Jiang Ersao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "Cuicui, where's your brother?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Jiang Xiaofei rushed in, crying, "Mother, my third aunt scolded me! She won't give me meat to eat! Go and beat her! Beat her to death!"
Kill them all, but leave the meat for him to eat!
Jiang Ersao's attention was completely drawn to her beloved son. "She scolded you? She's gone too far! Son, don't cry, I'll go find her and settle the score with you!"
Jiang Cuicui watched her mother and younger brother leave, her eyes blankly fixed on the stove where the fire was burning.
After she returned, her mother kept asking where her younger brother had gone, and didn't care at all what grievances she had suffered.
Third Aunt was absolutely right. Mother cherishes her younger brother dearly, but she treats her own daughter like an adopted child.
After Gu An'an chased away the two beggars from Jiang Lao Er's family, she closed the door and ate with the children.
But the appetites of the children in the family were all ruined. The two older ones could keep their thoughts to themselves, but Jiang Mingxu was not one to keep his mouth shut.
"Mom, what if your second aunt comes and beats you later?"
She's so fierce, she'll definitely come looking for trouble.
Gu An'an stuffed a piece of meat with a good balance of fat and lean into her youngest son's hand, "Go ahead and fight back, do you want to help your mother?"
Jiang Mingxu ate the fragrant braised pork, mumbling indistinctly, "I'm too small to fight, so I won't join in the fun."
Gu An'an: "..." As expected, they're not her biological children; she can tell the difference so clearly.
Jiang Mingxu, feeling obligated to help, realized his answer was inappropriate and immediately pushed his elder brother and sister forward, saying, "But you and your sister can help Mother, right?"
Jiang Mingyi and Jiang Mingzhu both looked at their younger brother, their eyes filled with helplessness.
Jiang Mingxu kept his head down and ate his rice, pretending nothing had happened.
What are you planning to do?
It was Jiang Mingxu who spoke. The mistress's worries were not unfounded; the second aunt would indeed come and cause trouble.
"If one comes, I'll take it on; if two come, I'll take them both on. Are you scared?"
Gu An'an's slightly flippant attitude made Jiang Mingyi's expression change. "What do I have to be afraid of?"
He's never been a coward, okay?
Gu An'an nodded, "Then you can easily get rid of them later, right? It's such a simple thing, you can definitely do it, right?"
Jiang Mingyi: "..."
He felt that Gu An'an was really different from before. Was it just his imagination?
Watching the person patiently feeding Bao'er, a thought even crossed my mind—it wouldn't be bad if things could continue like this.
This idea didn't last long.
He must be crazy to have such a big fantasy about Gu An'an.
The young man was not paying attention while eating, so he didn't hear the loud knocking at first.
When Gu An'an disappeared from the other side, he finally realized, "Where is she?"
"My second aunt is banging on the door."
Jiang Mingyi regained his senses and was a little worried. Could Gu An'an beat her second aunt, that fierce woman?
"You take care of Ah Di and Bao'er, I'm going out to check on them."
Seeing the person quickly get up, Jiang Mingzhu hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself—
My brother has changed. Is he worried that the woman can't beat my second aunt, or is he worried about something else?
Jiang Mingzhu listened intently, and the knocking stopped abruptly, followed by her second aunt's insults, "Gu An'an, you little whore, how dare you hit my son! If you know what's good for you, give me money so I can take Xiaofei to see a doctor, or you'll regret it!"
Gu An'an is not good at swearing. She is a top student in the 21st century, so how could she possibly swear back?
It's bad to swear. If you can take action, why bother with all the talking?
Raising her entrenching tool, Gu An'an glanced at the person standing in the doorway and asked, "Really?"
In winter, we eat early, and it's not completely dark yet.
When Jiang Ersao saw the shovel in her sister-in-law's hand, she immediately sat down on the ground and burst into tears, crying, "Murder! Murder! Everyone, please be the judge!"
She had been crying and complaining all the way here, saying that Gu An'an had thrown her son to the ground and broken his arms and legs.
The villagers, who had eaten dinner early, came over to watch the commotion. Seeing Jiang Ersao crying with snot and tears streaming down her face, those who were on good terms with her took the initiative to speak to her, saying, "Xiaofei's mother, don't cry. We're here, and we'll certainly settle things for you."
As she spoke, she puffed out her chest and looked at Gu An'an, "It's one thing for you to hit your own child, but why do you have the right to hit someone else's child?"
Gu An'an looked at the woman who spoke with a mean expression and sneered, "Which eye of yours saw me hit him? And Jiang Xiaofei, you said I hit you? Where did I hit you? Your arms and legs are broken, and you have a scar the size of a bowl on your head, right?"
The chubby boy, being held by Jiang Ersao, was about to nod, but Jiang Ersao stopped him. "I saw that the children at home didn't even have a change of clothes, so I kindly asked Cuicui to bring some new clothes. You didn't want them, and you even deliberately ruined them, saying that even beggars wouldn't wear them! These are the new clothes that I asked Cuicui to bring. Look at how badly she's ruined them! I just made these new clothes, and I haven't even been willing to let my daughter wear them."
