Chapter 32 Standing on Your Side



Su Nianxue laughed; in fact, Gu Yanliu wasn't fierce at all.

Perhaps because the two families rarely interacted, he looked at Gu Yanliu with some fear.

However, children are forgetful; once they have something to eat, they forget about being afraid.

The three of them shared a peanut brittle and a raspberry, creating an incredibly harmonious atmosphere.

Suddenly a woman walked in from outside, and she grabbed Gou Dan by the ear.

"Where did you go?"

So they came to someone else's house again, just to satisfy their cravings.

"Come on, come back with me, and I'll show you what I'm made of."

Dog Egg winced in pain, but couldn't break free. He could only beg for mercy, "Mom, let me go first, I can walk by myself."

Seeing his pitiful state, Su Nianxue quickly stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not his fault. I'm the one who called him in."

Gu Yanliu pursed her lips, "If you want to educate your child, go home and educate them."

"Who are we trying to impress by putting on this show in our house?"

Wang Erya let go of her hand somewhat awkwardly. "Um... thank you."

Just don't give it to him anymore.

This child has a bit of a sweet tooth; what if he gets a slippery feeling in his mouth later?

"Sister-in-law, don't say that. It's normal for kids to be greedy. I was like that when I was little too." She looked a little embarrassed and reserved.

Su Nianxue couldn't connect her current appearance with the woman who had fought and tore at her mother-in-law that day.

The two families lived side by side, separated only by a wall.

But then that incident happened, and they lost contact long ago.

Now, standing in this courtyard no more than ten meters away from her own home, Wang Erya felt somewhat awkward.

"We're leaving now." She grabbed Gou Dan's wrist and dragged him away.

Seeing that Gu Yanliu seemed unhappy, Su Nianxue asked, "Nianliu, do you dislike her?"

"I can't really explain it. I'm not familiar with her, but it's true that I hate Aunt Yang." It was Aunt Yang who broke up my older brother and Sister Peach.

She knew this when she was very young.

By the time Wang Erya married into the family, the two families had long been estranged and had no contact with each other.

"Alright, Yanliu, let's go cook!" Everyone has their own perspective on this matter, and it's all settled now, so she really can't say anything more.

After the two women finished their meal, they remembered the nine o'clock appointment that Gu Yanbai had mentioned.

She did stay until nine o'clock before closing the door.

I don't know what Gu Yanbai is busy with, I haven't seen him for several days.

However, Su Nianxue wasn't worried at all. She had enough to eat and drink, and money. If she needed anything, she could just go to town to buy it.

During the day, I would go to the field to check on things whenever I had free time, and when I came back, I would change the water for the bean sprouts. I was living a pretty good life.

Aunt Yulan was quick and efficient; in less than two days, the old man's clothes were finished.

The two waited until it got dark before taking their food and clothes and going to the old house together.

"Ring ring, ring ring"

The sound of bells rang outside, and the two knew that Grandpa Gu had returned with the sheep.

Sure enough, as soon as the old man saw the two of them, his stern face immediately broke into a smile. "What brings you two here?"

"Grandpa, my sister-in-law made you new clothes, come and try them on!" Gu Yanliu patted the clothes in her hands and said first.

When Grandpa Gu laughed, the wrinkles on his face deepened. "Why would an old man like me dress so nicely?"

Nianxue, from now on you can just make clothes for yourself, don't worry about me.

Besides, I go up the mountain every day, and I'm wearing nice clothes, so I'm afraid I'll get them torn.

"Old clothes are still more comfortable to wear; you don't have to worry about so many things."

Su Nianxue smiled and said, "If it gets torn, we can just buy more material and remake it."

Life is better now, not as hard as it was a few years ago. Grandpa, you should wear new clothes now too.

While the two were talking, Gu Yanliu had already helped drive the sheep into the sheepfold and closed it up.

She walked over, took the old man's arm, and shook it. "Grandpa, go wash your hands and try it!"

My sister-in-law has already done it, how can you expect her to return it?

"Okay, okay, okay." The old man couldn't resist her coaxing and quickly went to wash his hands.

Gu Yanliu picked up the clothes and couldn't wait to put them on him.

After buttoning all the buttons and straightening the clothes, Gu Yanliu said loudly.

"Grandpa, this outfit looks really good on you. It makes you look at least ten years younger."

Grandpa Gu reached out and touched the fabric, but then, worried that his rough hands might scratch it, he quickly put his hand down.

"You're such a sweet talker."

"It looks great! Grandpa looks so young in it!" Su Nianxue said with a smile.

Grandpa Gu chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll accept this garment, just don't make any more for me in the future."

"From now on, you can do it yourselves, don't worry about Grandpa." After saying that, he carefully took off the new clothes and took them to his room to put them away.

Su Nianxue laid out the food she had brought. "Grandpa, let's eat first!"

Looking at the two of them, the old man remembered something, "Is that brat Yanbai not home again?"

Su Nianxue pursed her lips and remained silent.

Gu Yanliu, as loud as a megaphone, exclaimed, "That's right! My brother has been gone for days, and we haven't seen him at all!"

Grandpa Gu's kind face suddenly darkened. "That brat, when he gets back, I'll definitely give him a good beating."

"Grandpa doesn't need it, he must have been held up by something," Su Nianxue quickly tried to smooth things over.

She didn't care whether he was home or not.

It seems I feel more at ease when he's not home!

She even wished he would stay out longer.

Seeing that she was still helping to cover it up, Grandpa Gu's expression softened a lot. "Nianxue, don't be afraid, Grandpa will definitely stand by you."

When he gets back, just wait and see how I deal with him!

"Grandpa, he should be out on important business. We shouldn't hold him back."

Looking at his sensible granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa Gu suddenly felt a pang of guilt, which strengthened his resolve to deal with Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai was unaware that in just a short while, the girl had managed to get a beating for him.

Su Nianxue didn't want to discuss the matter further and said, "Grandpa, let's eat first, the food is getting cold."

Two days later, in the afternoon, Su Nianxue and Gu Yanliu returned from the fields, carrying hoes and smiling.

But finding her door open, Gu Yanliu exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, you're back?"

Gu Yanbai glanced at the two of them, his eyes darting around, his brows furrowing slightly. "Who else could it be but me?"

"Brother, what's gotten into you? Why are you talking so sarcastically?" Gu Yanliu couldn't help but retort.

Su Nianxue nodded in agreement, "That's right, we were just peacefully at home, how did we upset you again!"

"You still say you didn't provoke me? You're just ignoring what I say."

Su Nianxue racked her brains but couldn't recall what she had said that offended him again.

Oh well, he's always so unpredictable anyway.

Since she couldn't remember, she stopped thinking about it. She washed her hands and went to the kitchen, leaving him there unattended.
