Gu An'an would never falsely accuse anyone. She only wanted Xiao Yuheng to inquire as a precaution, but she never expected that the Xu family had become so rotten.
Although Aunt Xu and Xu Qi were not like the father and son, they still had their share of dirty deeds in private, and were practically a den of snakes and rats.
Since that's the case, Gu An'an felt that she was now on the path of eliminating demons and upholding justice, and she stood tall with her back straight.
Xu Nian also knew about the girl who was assaulted. The girl lived not far from the Xu family. When the incident first came out, many people said that the girl was not proper and that's why she was targeted. Xu Nian and her mother even said some very harsh things.
He never expected that the instigator was Xu Tianbao.
What should I do?
Xu Nian felt that whether it was for his and his sister's sake or for those who were persecuted, he had to fight that family properly at this moment.
"You should get to know Uncle Nian and the others better now. We've already reported the reselling to the relevant departments, and they're keeping an eye on him. If he makes another move, he'll be arrested immediately."
“Once his matter is resolved, we’ll go to the Xu family to discuss your matter.”
Xu Nian hadn't expected Gu An'an to think of so much for him beforehand. "Thank you, Sister Gu, thank you, Brother Xiao, thank you, Auntie."
Aside from gratitude, he seemed to have nothing else to repay.
However, he will work harder in the future and one day repay this kindness.
Since they had just reunited, Gu An'an didn't want to be a third wheel, so she took Wang Dashan back to their room.
"Mom, have you gained weight?"
These days, people can't even get enough to eat, let alone get any nutrition, so most people are pale and thin.
The Wang family is doing well. Uncle Wang is the village chief, and his two sons are capable. The village chief's wife's life is much better than that of other women in the village, but she still has to work in the fields, so she is only slightly better off than others.
But now...
The village chief's wife wasn't angry at being told she was fat. Instead, she excitedly approached Wang Dashan and asked, "Besides being a little chubby, do you see any other changes?"
Wang Dashan looked at it carefully and said, "It seems a bit too pale."
"Anything else?"
The village chief's wife struggled to open her eyes and show her face to her son.
Wang Dashan looked at it carefully and pondered it, and finally said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "My skin seems to be better than before."
The village chief's wife nodded in satisfaction. "It seems my recent skincare routine has been quite effective. You have no idea what it means to live a decent life when I'm with An'an. I eat meat every day to nourish myself, and I'm applying face cream like it's free. I was initially reluctant to spend the money, but even you, who are usually so dense, have noticed the changes. It seems the money was well spent."
Wang Dashan: ...Is his mother praising him or insulting him?
"Mom, do you eat meat every day here?"
As he said this, Wang Dashan couldn't help but swallow. Although the village's conditions have improved a lot now, you still need coupons to buy meat. You can eat meat a few times a month, but it's unrealistic to eat meat every day.
"Yes, I eat it at every meal."
The more Wang Dashan envied her, the more smug the village chief's wife became.
"Eating at every meal? No wonder you've gained weight in such a short time."
Thinking of the old father who had given him money before he left home so he could give it to his mother, fearing she would suffer, he felt a pang of sympathy for him.
Dad, you should take good care of yourself.
"Mom, you've really found yourself a wonderful job that lets you enjoy life."
"That's right. How could I possibly suffer when I'm with An'an? Let me tell you, my cooking skills have improved a lot. I can make dishes like Maoxuewang and pickled fish with ease, and they taste amazing."
The village chief's wife rattled off a long list of dishes, some of which Wang Dashan had heard of, while others he had never even heard of.
Seriously, doesn't that make your mouth water?
"Mom, when can I eat that big skewer of vegetables you just mentioned?"
The village chief's wife stared intently at her son. "Then you'll have to wait a while. I have to take care of An'an until she's out of confinement before I can go home."
"Mom, you're really heartless."
Despite his complaints, Wang Dashan still took out the money his father had given him, saying, "Mom, Dad asked me to give this to you."
Watching her son pull a wad of cash from his inner pocket and stuff it into her hand, the village chief's wife couldn't help but sigh, "How's your dad doing at home?"
Every time she calls home, she says "okay, okay," but the village chief's wife can't really be sure if it's true.
"It's great. Dad is still as busy as ever with village affairs every day. Our village has more orders this year than last year. Everyone in the village is very busy. Now that everyone is earning more money, they are more confident. Those who couldn't find wives before are now highly sought after. Many matchmakers are offering them opportunities, and they are very proud of themselves."
"It's good to be busy, it's good to be busy. Your dad would only have problems if he had nothing to do."
What Wang Dashan didn't say was that his old man missed his mother very much. After all, Gu An'an and the other woman were still around, so as not to make them overthink things.
While they were exchanging feelings, the other side also deepened their bond through a series of communications. Xu Wan, in particular, had a brighter smile than ever before since she realized that Wang Laonian and his wife genuinely wanted to adopt her.
When Gu An'an knocked on the door to take them out for dinner, Xu Wan was already holding Qiao Mei's hand affectionately and didn't want to let go.
"I never knew state-run restaurants in big cities had so many different kinds of food."
Qiaomei was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, curious about everything. But Xu Nian didn't feel embarrassed or anything at all. Instead, he earnestly introduced the city he was familiar with to the couple.
"Yes, people here like to eat here because Chef Li's cooking skills are among the best in the area. Mom and Dad, this meal is on me."
Before leaving, Xu Nian specifically borrowed some money from Gu An'an, as he was obliged to treat Wang Laonian and his wife to their first meal here.
Of course, he will definitely pay it back.
Actually, he has made money in the past few years, but because he has no job, he has only earned small amounts of money to help himself and Xu Wan in case of emergencies.
If he had known earlier that he would find his biological parents one day, he would definitely have worked harder to earn more money and save more, so that he wouldn't have been struggling to make ends meet even when he wanted to treat his parents to a meal.
"No need, your dad and I have money."
Qiaomei wanted to pay, but she couldn't argue with her own son, so in the end, Xu Nian paid for the meal.
"Then we'll treat you two to a meal, Qiaomei."
"Okay, okay."
Just after finishing his meal and returning to the guesthouse, Xiao Yuheng spotted a familiar figure standing at the entrance. He strode over and called out, "Old Zhou."
"Old Xiao, that guy you mentioned the day before yesterday has made another move. We're taking action tonight. Do you want to come?"
