The relationship between Gu Nan and Zhang Chunfang is both complicated and simple.
She is his mother, and he is her son.
However, the reasons behind this relationship are quite complex.
Gu Nan's mother, Zhang Jianfang, only discovered after marrying Gu Nan's father, Gu Chen, that she had lost her fertility due to her wild lifestyle when she was young.
The Zhang family was just an ordinary family, so naturally they couldn't bear to let go of such a good son-in-law as Gu Chen. So Zhang Jianfang secretly discussed with Zhang Chunfang about having her give birth to a child for Gu Chen in her place.
And this child was Gu Nan.
Zhang Chunfang originally lived a comfortable life with her sister and son, and later even got involved with a huge figure like Shen Lihong.
Under Zhang Chunfang's influence, the relationship between the Shen family and the Gu family grew closer, and the status of Zhang Chunfang and her sister Zhang Jianfang also rose accordingly.
Originally, Zhang Chunfang planned to follow Shen Lihong and live a life of comfort and ease, but she never expected that the Gu family would fall into ruin.
Although she didn't have a good impression of Gu Chen, she doted on her "biological nephew".
Therefore, after the Gu family fell into ruin, Zhang Chunfang began to have designs on the Shen family.
Under her tutelage, Shen Lihong had become completely obedient to her. But Zhang Chunfang knew that this was not enough. Even if Shen Lihong were to give her the Shen family, Shen Lanxin would not allow it, nor would the law.
So she started pressuring Shen Lihong to marry Shen Lanxin to Gu Nan, staging a drama of "eating up the childless."
"Mom, it's all my fault for being useless, otherwise you wouldn't have ended up like this..."
"Shhh."
Halfway through his sentence, Zhang Chunfang held up a finger to stop Gu Nan.
"I'd make any sacrifice for you, no matter what."
"mom!"
The two looked at each other with teary eyes, displaying a kind of maternal love and filial piety.
After a long while, Gu Nan wiped his eyes and revealed his wicked smile again: "Mom, don't worry, I've already gotten the location of that batch of goods from Dad. Tomorrow I'll go to the Northeast, dig them up, and dispose of them."
"With this money, I'd like to give to that old bastard Shen Lihong. Let's see if he can still refuse to marry Shen Lanxin to me?"
"Alright, then we'll work together, mother and son. I'll go inside, and you'll go outside. We'll definitely be able to take down the Shen family!"
Suddenly, their eyes hardened, and their expressions were filled with anticipation for the future.
...
...
"Sis, these two smelly big jars, could they be soybean paste?"
After returning to Sister Wang's courtyard, Mu Liuyun followed Sister Wang's father, leaving behind one fish for dinner and putting the rest of the fish into a tank to keep them alive.
Then he saw several large vats standing quietly nearby, emitting a strange smell.
Mu Liuyun immediately thought of the soybean paste that she often saw online, which some people loved and others called a culinary disaster.
"Ah, yes."
Sister Wang, who was washing a small bucket, casually agreed. After speaking, she looked at Mu Liuyun and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "You, why are you so excited about everything that's food?"
"I can't help it, I just love to eat."
"If you like to eat, why don't you grow taller and stronger?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Liuyun frowned.
how?
Does he not want to grow taller and stronger?
"However, Xiaoyun is just right like this."
"What's so great about it? I also want to be taller and bigger like Xiaoyu...Brother Sun!"
"Like Brother Sun? Xiaoyun, you've never had a girlfriend, you wouldn't..."
"No way! I'd rather die than come out of the closet!"
Some people are born with same-sex relationships, while others acquire them later in life. Mu Liuyun, however, defied all odds.
The thought of so many men looking at him strangely sent chills down his spine. How could he possibly come out of the closet?
"Er Ya, go call your brother Sun, it's time to eat!"
"good!"
Although she knew about Brother Sun's problem, Sister Wang didn't feel anything was wrong. She just felt a little regretful that she had liked him when she was a child.
Soon after, Sister Wang returned with Brother Sun, and Mu Liuyun had already helped Wang's parents set out a table of dishes.
The dinner was still very delicious. Although it wasn't particularly elaborate, it was all very satisfying.
What Mu Liuyun found regrettable was that she couldn't serve him any of the sauce from the jar.
Just as Mu Liuyun was about to help wash the dishes, Brother Sun suddenly stood up: "Uncle, Aunt, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"Oh? Sit a little longer, you've been busy all day, and I haven't had a chance to properly thank you yet!"
Brother Sun waved his hand repeatedly: "No, Auntie, I have to go pick up my lover."
"Oh...I see. Okay then, go ahead. And bring that young man along for dinner tomorrow!"
"OK."
Then Brother Sun turned around and waved to Mu Liuyun and Sister Wang: "Xiaoyun, Erya, I'm leaving now. Come fishing again next time!"
After saying that, Brother Sun put on his coat and left in a hurry.
The Queen Mother and Queen Father, who were holding plates, stood there stunned for a long time before exchanging a glance and sighing.
Sun Ge's hurried appearance piqued Wang Jie's interest. She held an ear of corn in her hand, sat down next to Mu Liuyun, and nudged him with her shoulder.
"Xiaoyun, what kind of man do you think seduced my brother Sun like this?"
Mu Liuyun pushed Sister Wang away with a look of disgust: "This is homophobia, this is discrimination, I'm not going to talk to you about it."
Although Mu Liuyun was also a little curious, it was ultimately someone else's business. Besides, while he disliked men who liked him, he wasn't averse to men of the same kind.
In short, it has nothing to do with him; he's just watching the show and enjoying the gossip.
"Tch, I'm not talking to you anymore."
Sister Wang moved the stool aside and waved to her mother: "Mom, what kind of person is Brother Sun's boyfriend?"
While clearing the table, Wang Ma glared at Wang Jie and said, "Why are you shouting so loudly, you little brat!"
Then she stopped tidying up and sat down next to Sister Wang: "Sigh, that child is pitiful, he's an orphan too, maybe that's why they started dating."
As she spoke, Wang Ma glanced at Mu Liuyun, afraid that this would bring up Mu Liuyun's painful memories.
However, having lived two lives, Mu Liuyun was long past the age of being saddened by this matter.
He smiled back at Wang Ma, then picked up a corn cob and started eating it.
"orphan?"
On the contrary, Sister Wang seemed a little concerned: "Our place isn't very big. I don't remember having any orphans besides Brother Sun?"
Aunt Wang nodded: "Yes, that child isn't from around here. I don't know where he's from."
"I only heard from Xiao Sun that the child's name was also Mu something?"
"puff."
Mu Liuyun, who had just eaten a mouthful of corn, spat it all over the table when she heard this surname.
"Mu, Mu what?"
An ominous premonition rose from the bottom of my heart.
"Oh dear, I can't remember. Xiaoyun, what's wrong? We share the same surname, are we related?"
I'm an orphan, where would I get relatives from!
