Xia Anyan pursed her lips and nodded.
To put it bluntly, Sun Xiuzhi isn't a bad person. If her two daughters can be brought back safely, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Xia Anyan sighed and went to the kitchen.
The porridge in the pot is almost cooked; now all that's left is to stir-fry the vegetables.
She picked and washed the leftover vegetables from yesterday, and was just waiting for Zhang Junan to come and cook them.
Zhang Junan glanced at Xia Anyan and wanted to wave her out.
But this time Xia Anyan disagreed: "Dad, we already agreed yesterday that you would teach me today, why are you going back on your word?"
Zhang Junan was amused by her words.
"You silly girl, I was just thinking of teaching you slowly. Aren't you feeling unwell right now? Don't stay here. Let's talk about learning after a few days when we're sure you're not pregnant."
“If you get pregnant, then you can forget about cooking. Your father and I will stay here to take care of you, and you can learn to cook slowly after you give birth and finish your postpartum period.”
Xia Anyan's lips twitched slightly.
They've already thought of so much even before anything's even started.
She sighed, "Alright, let's talk about it in a couple of days."
Xia Anyan sat down in the courtyard, leaning back in a recliner with the old man, looking up at the sky.
She felt a little bored, but didn't know what to do.
The old man hummed a couple of lines, but no one knew what tune it was.
Seeing his granddaughter sitting there blankly without saying a word, he couldn't bear to watch.
"What are your plans after you came here?"
Xia Anyan frowned and shook her head: "I don't have any plans. I was thinking of going out to find a job, but I'm not familiar with this area. And the way those people look at us doesn't seem right, so I'm a little..."
Xia Anyan stopped there, confident that the old man would understand what she meant.
Grandpa Xia sighed.
It's unlikely she'll be able to shake off her identity as her granddaughter easily.
However, the problem should be solved once Gu Shen returns.
In fact, Xia Anyan had already thought of a solution, but she couldn't tell the old man the truth.
She couldn't very well say that she wanted to work in the black market.
Putting aside the current situation and whether Gu Shen would agree, just consider this: she's a woman, and she really wants to go, especially alone. Would these people feel comfortable with that? Would they agree? Clearly not.
Therefore, she really doesn't need to tell her family these things now and make them worry.
All she has to do is wait.
Wait for an opportunity, make a name for yourself in the black market, and then talk to them.
Before leaving Beijing, she left a lot of supplies for Tie Tou Ge, and entrusted them all to Tie San Feng Niang and the others for safekeeping.
That Tie Tou was really capable; in less than three days, he got the divorce certificate for Tie Sanfeng and her husband.
Tie Sanfeng and her husband had three children together: two sons and a daughter. The two sons lived with her husband, while the daughter lived with Tie Sanfeng.
In reality, her husband was no longer able to work, and her two children were still young. Tie Sanfeng had no choice but to watch them ruin her future.
In order to allow the two children to continue their studies, Tie Sanfeng plans to give them five yuan each month for their schooling, while Tie Sanfeng will cover the other expenses.
As for whether the man lived or died, it had nothing to do with them.
After Xia Anyan learned about this, she didn't think about saying anything. It was Tie Sanfeng's own choice and had nothing to do with others.
However, thinking about what Tie Sanfeng might experience in the future, Xia Anyan couldn't help but sigh.
"Yan Yan, what are you thinking about all by yourself here? I've heard you sigh several times already. What's on your mind?"
The old man stared at his granddaughter again and again, but he just couldn't understand it.
Xia Anyan glanced at the old man and shook her head.
This completely baffled the old man. What exactly was going on?
"You silly girl, you can't even speak clearly. What's wrong?"
Seeing that the old man was getting anxious, Xia Anyan quickly helped him calm down.
Just as I was about to explain, Zhang Junan came to call me for dinner.
So she simply brought up Tie Sanfeng's matter right there at the dinner table.
Zhang Junan didn't say a word from beginning to end, but the old man sighed after hearing Xia Anyan's words.
"Actually, I can understand it. After all, Tie Sanfeng looks like she has a soft heart."
She had previously caused a scene at the hospital because of her husband's affair, but now she's softened and given the money because of her children.
If her two sons truly care for her and understand how difficult it is for them to be her mother, then they will be filial to her in the future. But if those two children develop other intentions... Tie Sanfeng's life might be ruined.
"Yanyan, since you plan to hand over the warehouse over there to Tie Sanfeng, you must make it clear to her that no matter what happens, she is not allowed to cause trouble in front of you, and she cannot do anything that is detrimental to our warehouse."
"Although I don't know what you're planning to do with that warehouse, now that you've started it, we need to keep a close eye on it, understand?"
Xia Anyan nodded.
She had previously told the old man that she had collaborated with Tie Tou once, but the old man was unaware of what happened afterward.
If the old man knew she planned to work with Brother Tietou long-term, he'd be worried sick and wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
She used both Tie Tou and Tie Sanfeng to keep each other in check.
...
The time spent in the family compound felt like it was going to take forever.
Although Sun Xiuzhi would often come over to their place and tell them gossip about the family compound.
But Sun Xiuzhi always thought about her two daughters in the countryside, and she often complained about her mother-in-law and the people in the countryside.
Xia Anyan was tired of hearing this; it had been like this for three or four days, so she decided not to send anyone else.
As she was pondering what reason to use, she felt a pain in her lower abdomen, and it felt like it was sinking downwards.
She was all too familiar with this feeling.
She's been here for a month now, and in that time, she hasn't even thought about her period. If her family hadn't suspected she was pregnant, she probably wouldn't have given it a second thought.
Now that she had this feeling, she was relieved. Knowing that she wasn't pregnant, she could finally explain it to her grandfather and father.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, but I'm on my period and my body is weak. I'm also experiencing some menstrual cramps, so I really can't entertain you. How about you come over after my period is over and we can chat?"
