Chapter 6 Farewell to the Gu Family, Sadness and Guilt
The only person missing in the yard was my uncle. He must have gone to the fields at this time.
"Hey! Gu Jin, you're back!"
When Gu Jiajie saw his mother enter the kitchen, he stopped what he was doing to take a break. He glanced around and saw Gu Jin standing at the door.
Hearing his cousin's voice, Gu Jin called out, "Brother Jie."
She led An Mingji, who looked a little uneasy, into the courtyard.
The old man sitting on the recliner narrowed his eyes and saw her leading the little wolf cubs from the village in. He looked at Gu Jin deeply with his cloudy eyes, and then looked away.
When cousin Gu Minmin heard her brother's voice, she stopped playing shuttlecock. She stood there and looked at Gu Jin and An Mingji who walked into the courtyard.
"How did you bring him back?"
The woman howled loudly, causing several people in the yard to frown slightly.
This familiar voice could only belong to my aunt.
Gu Jin turned his head and looked towards the kitchen. His aunt Chen Hong was pinching her thick waist and staring at Gu Jin and An Mingji with unfriendly eyes, especially the latter's gaze, which was as piercing as needles.
An Mingji was very sensitive to people's emotions. He knew that the eldest aunt of the Gu family was unwelcome and wary of him, so he walked behind Gu Jin and hid.
At this moment, his body was in pain and even his stomach was rumbling with hunger.
If he had encountered other people in the village treating him like this in the past, he would have turned around and left long ago, but at this moment he didn't want to let go of Sister Ajin's hand.
Gu Jin took a deep breath, looked at his aunt who looked unhappy, and said with a smile: "Aunt, Xiao An was bullied by the children in the village. I took him home to apply medicine."
When Chen Hong heard this, her expression looked much better, but her expression was still not too good when she looked at Gu Jin and An Mingji.
Then she narrowed her eyes and said, "Send him away after applying the medicine. We don't have any extra food for him!"
Gu Jin squeezed the uneasy wolf cub in his hand and said to his aunt with a smile: "Xiao An's injuries are quite serious. I want him to stay at home for two days."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hong's face changed immediately. She stared at the little wolf cub behind Gu Jin with wide eyes, wishing she could eat him alive.
“Ahem…”
Before Chen Hong could get angry, the old man coughed.
She glanced at the old man who hadn't said a word from beginning to end and just coughed twice, curled her lips, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
But he was muttering unhappily: "The food at home is almost gone, and he brought back a person who eats for free. He thinks he is a living Buddha. Even a clay Buddha can't save himself when crossing the river, and he brought a little burden to eat for free..."
Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin, brother and sister, were used to their mother's attitude. They didn't dare to say anything, but just stared at An Mingji behind Gu Jin with curiosity.
The old man was sitting on a recliner smoking a pipe and didn't even look at Gu Jin and An Mingji.
However, his two coughs showed that he acknowledged what Gu Jin proposed.
In this family, all matters, big or small, have to be decided by the old man. As long as he doesn't object, my aunt wouldn't dare to say anything.
Although Chen Hong disagreed in her heart, she could only complain a few words.
Gu Jin looked at the old man with complicated eyes. When she wanted to go back to Youcheng, the old man also advised her, but unfortunately she didn't appreciate his kindness and treated him badly.
Thinking back to her past life, her heart was filled with sadness and guilt.
Now that nothing had happened, she would never do such a thing again.
Gu Jin pulled the little wolf cub in her hand and walked to the last room on the right side of the lower house. This was her room.
