The girl's true feelings surprised Gu An'an.
A female general.
This dream is so grand that Gu An'an doesn't know how to help the child realize it.
Just as she was struggling with her decision, Bao'er came running over, stumbling along. "Mom, I want to ride a big horse too!"
Kid, you're not even as tall as a horse's leg.
But when the little girl looked on so expectantly, Gu An'an felt her heart melt.
"Baby is still young. How about Mom gives you a beautiful little pony when you grow up in a couple of years?"
The little girl nodded slightly upon hearing this, her voice still childlike and sweet, "Thank you, Mother."
"You're welcome. Are you hungry? I'll make you some small noodle fish."
Bao'er's attention was immediately drawn to dinner. "Let's eat fish!"
Gu An'an handed the person over to Jiang Mingzhu and went to the kitchen to get busy.
Food is the most important thing for people; having a full stomach is more important than anything else.
However, while Gu An'an was busy, Jiangjia Village was already buzzing with discussion—
After all, people saw Gu An'an driving back in a carriage, and such a grand display was bound to shock people.
Buying horses alone must cost a lot of money.
Where did Gu An'an get so much money?
Jiang Ersao was furious when she heard this news!
Two days ago, she went to Gu An'an, wanting this woman to add some makeup to Cui Cui's dowry, but she refused to give a single penny!
They even have money to buy a horse-drawn carriage now.
Looking at the man lying on the bed, Jiang Ersao was even more furious. "Where did she get so much money?"
Jiang Lao Er didn't know how to respond to this, as he also had no idea where Gu An An got so much money.
"Perhaps it was left by the third brother to those children back then?"
This guess was immediately rejected by Jiang Ersao, "Impossible!"
Absolutely not!
Four years ago, when Jiang Laosan left, Jiang Mingyi was only six years old, Jiang Mingzhu was even younger, and the other two were only one year old.
Give the silver to the children and let them keep it safe?
How could that be?
It should be noted that after Jiang Laosan left, the old family home helped him raise his children for a while.
Later, news came that the three Jiang brothers might be gone. This news made the two daughters-in-law of the Jiang family have some ideas. After discussing it, the two sisters-in-law persuaded their husbands and finally used thirty taels of silver to carry Gu An'an in.
A few days later, Gu An'an was sent to the other courtyard, leaving her to raise the four children on her own.
For the past three years, I haven't seen any money from the family of five. They even come to the old house from time to time to cause trouble and take some money from the old lady.
How come you're rich now?
Does this money just fall from the sky?
Jiang Ersao felt increasingly uneasy.
There must be something you don't know about.
Lying in bed, Jiang Lao Er was relaxed and at ease. He had caught a chill some time ago and hadn't fully recovered yet, so lying in bed all day was quite comfortable. As for his daughter getting married, Jiang Lao Er didn't care.
His family has a son to carry on the family line, so what's the big deal about a girl who's considered a financial loss getting married?
"If she has money, then so be it. It'll save us the trouble of having to ask us for money later."
Hearing this, Jiang Ersao was furious at her lack of self-respect. "What do you know? How much does that carriage cost? How much silver did she take from us before? Now that she's made a fortune, how can she abandon us?"
But Gu An'an was completely unyielding, and getting money out of her pocket was extremely difficult. "It's okay if she doesn't give us any, but we can't disrespect our mother, can we?"
That's right, we still need to let the old lady handle it.
They suffered a loss with Gu An'an before, but that was because they didn't think things through.
This time...
"My mother isn't feeling well and needs to borrow a carriage. Does she dare refuse?"
Refusing to lend money is considered unfilial!
Can Gu An'an bear the accusation of being disloyal and unfilial?
Jiang Lao Er was a little hesitant. He remembered the day he went to Gu An'an's courtyard, and as soon as he climbed over the wall, a dark shadow rushed at him. He didn't even see what it was before he was so frightened that he fell off the wall. Later, Gu An'an hit him on the head with a stick.
He dared not offend this woman.
I would rather die than find fault with Gu An'an.
These women can do whatever they want, just don't ask him to go.
...
Gu An'an wasn't surprised at all by Jiang Ersao's arrival.
She never expected that Jiang Ersao was truly like a cockroach, the kind that can't be killed.
"Mother is not in good health and has been wanting to see a doctor, but it's not very convenient. Now that we have a carriage, it's perfect."
Jiang Ersao kept glancing at the old horse, deciding to take it home first.
"Not in good health?" Gu An'an looked surprised. "Second sister-in-law, what are you doing? The old lady is getting on in years, why are you still upsetting her?"
The sudden accusation stunned Jiang Ersao. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could we possibly upset Mother?"
"How could the old lady be unwell? She's always been very healthy. Could it be that my second brother got drunk and sleepwalked, which upset Mother?"
When Jiang Ersao heard her bring up the old matter again, she immediately felt a lump in her throat, "Third brother's wife!"
Gu An'an suddenly realized, "It's not because of Second Brother's matter, it's because of Cuicui's marriage?"
Gu An'an was simply adding fuel to the fire; she had no idea what Jiang Ersao was thinking.
Under the guise of treating Old Lady Jiang, they took the carriage away, and it seems that the carriage will be permanently stationed at the Jiang family's old residence from now on.
It's impossible for Gu An'an to go back.
She's clever; she knows how to use filial piety to pressure people.
However, Gu An'an wasn't buying it at all.
Jiang Ersao's trip was destined to be in vain.
Well, it wasn't a wasted trip. Even though I came with a belly full of anger, I still gained something.
