Jiang Yonghai is not particularly tall.
But being knocked unconscious by such a shovel is still quite astonishing.
It took Jiang Mingyi at least a while to react.
At that moment, the person was already in the courtyard, and Gu An'an was about to close the courtyard gate.
"Won't he freeze to death?"
Lying in such freezing weather all night, you might actually freeze to death.
Gu An'an tilted her head and looked at the young man, "Are you worried about him?"
This question stunned Jiang Mingyi for a moment. Recalling what this man had done, his tone was as cold as snow on the ground, "It would be best if he were dead."
Blood is thicker than water?
It does not exist.
Gu An'an wasn't in the mood to ask about the story behind it. "Go back to sleep. Whether he lives or dies is up to fate."
She didn't actually have the intention to kill or commit arson, but she wouldn't repay evil with kindness for such a person.
Whether you survive or not depends on your own fate.
Gu An'an didn't want to do anything anymore.
These words were specifically said to Jiang Mingyi, as the young man's tone just now was too stern.
She was worried that the child might do something rash.
Jiang Mingyi merely frowned slightly upon hearing this, and replied, "Hmm."
Don't be too concise.
However, he should have calmed down after the impulsiveness, and even if he didn't think of himself, he would think of his younger siblings.
Gu An'an was no longer worried that he would do something foolish; she was only worried about herself.
To have to think so much at such a young age, what a life of toil.
But with so many lovely children, it's impossible to let go.
I have to go to the county town tomorrow, so I'll go back to sleep.
Before entering the house, Gu An'an remembered that she had gone to the west room again, where a lot of firewood was piled up, and the little tiger was now fast asleep there, looking quite carefree.
Gu An'an couldn't help but laugh, "Thanks, I'll roast a pheasant for you later."
The large golden shaded dog lying on the ground wagged its tail in its sleep, dreaming of many pheasants that looked delicious.
Tiger was extremely satisfied.
...
Gu An'an wasn't surprised at all that she hadn't heard any howling early in the morning.
It seems the wicked live on for a thousand years; he actually woke up and went home.
However, she also knew that Jiang Lao Er wouldn't dare to cause trouble. For safety reasons, Gu An'an still went to Jiang Jianxin's house to find Cai Shi, hoping she could help look after things.
“Sister-in-law, you know that Zhu’er has a scar on her face. If it hadn’t snowed, it would have been fine, but now that it’s snowing, it’s freezing cold and I can’t take her out.”
Madam Cai understood. "Don't worry, if anything happens at home later, just have Mingyi come to me."
She used to despise Gu An'an to death, but everyone makes mistakes.
It is of utmost importance to acknowledge one's mistakes and correct them.
Besides, even if he looked down on Gu An'an, he wouldn't go against a few children.
"That would be a real hassle for you, sister-in-law."
Gu An'an didn't want to bring all the children along to have someone look after them, so she carefully explained things to Jiang Mingyi and his sister before leaving with peace of mind.
Another acquaintance, Jiang Yongshan, was sitting in Uncle Li and Aunt Li's oxcart.
That's true. Jiang Yongshan was working in the county government office. He was just taking some time to come home for a visit. He was just a lowly clerk. Could he stay at home all the time?
Gu An'an greeted Uncle Li and Aunt Li with a smile, but when she looked at Jiang Yongshan, the latter looked somewhat unnatural.
Gu An'an didn't bother with formalities and started chatting with Aunt Li while wrapped in a raincoat.
"What are you doing...?"
"I hunted a roe deer in the mountains yesterday. The meat was quite good. I think the restaurants in the city might accept it."
In the freezing cold, the old ox pulled the cart, leaving two deep tracks in the snow.
Jiang Yongshan glanced at the meat in the bamboo basket; it looked quite fresh.
Aunt Li was also somewhat surprised, but more than that, she was worried. "It's best not to go up the mountain on snowy days."
"Yes, I know." Gu An'an knew that this was also because she was worried about her, so she smiled and agreed, and chatted with Aunt Li about other things.
Aunt Li and Uncle Li have a son and a daughter. The daughter was originally married and moved to the county town, but later her husband moved to the prefectural capital and they lost touch.
Normally, we only go to the county town to visit our grandson's birthday celebration.
"I heard he's going back to school. By the way, Xiao Gu, is your Mingyi going to school too?"
The word "reading" made Jiang Yongshan's forehead twitch. Just as he was about to speak, Gu An'an spoke first, "That's right. Speaking of reading, I have to thank my elder brother. Mingyi said that you generously donated money to send several children to Master Zheng's school."
Aunt Li was quite surprised. Was this a miserly man plucking feathers?
"Really? I never expected Yongshan to have such courage."
Jiang Yongshan: "..." When did I say that!
However, Gu An'an didn't give him a chance to speak at all. "That's right. It's my fault for misunderstanding my brother before. I was too petty. Although Ming Yizhu, Mingxu, and Bao'er are not my biological children, they are still Jiang family blood. Blood is thicker than water. My brother is usually cold to the children, but he actually loves them."
Jiang Yongshan: "..." I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense.
However, it was too late.
Gu An'an was quick-witted, and Aunt Li was talkative. In just a few words, the two of them had already put Jiang Yongshan on a pedestal. Even Uncle Li couldn't help but turn around and say, "Yongshan did the right thing. He's his own child. How can he not care about him?"
What else can Jiang Yongshan say?
Looking at Gu An'an's grateful face, he really wanted to kick her off the oxcart, but in the end he could only agree, otherwise what if Jiang Mingyi, that kid, went all out?
Let's agree to it for now and deal with it later.
