Facing her daughter's expectant look and sparkling eyes, Lin Jiao explained, "No, they just came to take a look."
"What's there to see? They didn't take us into the city. We just stay in this village and sneak around all day. I can't live a day like this anymore."
The little girl had a martial arts vibe. After hearing that these were not from the Kou family, she became even bolder. She looked at Gu Zian and the others and asked, "Are you all my relatives? Can you take us into the city? I heard that I
uncle
My uncle is a big boss in the city, can the boss reward me with a bite of food?"
Seeing her temperament that was not consistent with her age, Gu Zian and the others all looked strange.
I always feel like this child has been raised crookedly.
Tang Ruizhe snorted coldly, "You little girl is quite good at talking."
"That is."
The little girl stopped them and expressed herself openly, "I have many advantages. I have learned to cook, wash pots, and I can also pick locks..."
"Xiaoyu!!" Lin Jiao's expression suddenly changed and she scolded her.
The little girl curled her lips and muttered, "Oh, I forgot, people in the city are not allowed to pick locks."
"You should learn some lessons. You're trying to pick people's locks at a young age, so be careful not to get arrested." Jin Xin looked at this little girl who was as unrighteous as her mother and said in a faint tone.
However, the little girl not only had no fear at his words, but was looking forward to it, "It's better to catch him. I don't need to go to the fields every day to have someone to take care of the food. I don't need to come back to cook."
They couldn't stand listening anymore, and Gu Zi'an said to his younger brothers, "Let's go home quickly."
"You..." Lin Jiao persuaded her to stay, "I can see that you are all kind-hearted children, why don't you just stay at home and have a meal."
Gu Zian hurriedly waved her hand to refuse, "No, no, we're going home to eat, so I won't disturb you."
Since Lin Yongqiang has agreed to let his sister live here, they have nothing to say and it is safer to go home quickly.
Gu Zian actually felt quite uncomfortable. This was the first time in his life that he saw this woman named Lin Jiao.
This woman was nearly 20 years old when he and his mother were found together under the same roof. She was supposed to be his aunt.
But more than 20 years ago, this woman regarded his mother as a thorn in my side.
Although his parents have never mentioned this person in front of him, both Jin Xin and Gu Ping'an know her, which shows how bad this woman's reputation was in the past. Although the village has changed a lot now, and the overall appearance of the village looks good,
But I also know how poor and backward they were 20 years ago. His mother grew up to be 20 years old in such a small mountain village.
She married his father by mistake and even cured his father's leg. Maybe his mother would never have the chance to leave this mountain village and get to know his grandparents.
When Gu Zi'an thought about this, he felt scared and felt sorry for what his mother had gone through.
After coming out of Shanghe Village and walking downhill on the way home, Gu Zian didn't say a word, but Jin Xin and Gu Ping'an followed behind and kept talking about Lin Jiao's "glorious deeds".
Because Gu Jingxiu, Wang Ying, and Gu Jinghui are people who like to gossip and reminisce about the past, their children are influenced by it and hear a lot of old stories from the past.
At this moment, the two young men were talking about Lin Jiao's past deeds in a sarcastic way, which made the other three young men doubt their life.
Tang Ruizhe also joined in with them, saying that Lin Jiao's daughter had been brought up as a child at a young age and had learned how to pick locks. She would also be a big hidden danger in the future.
Gu Zian interrupted them,
"Okay, don't mention those people anymore, go home quickly, we are all hungry."
The sun was shining brightly at this time, and it was already almost 11 o'clock. After running down the slope, we were tired and depressed, and everyone became listless.
After walking for so long, I was very thirsty. I regretted not accepting the watermelon from Gu Ping'an's classmate in the morning. Now it would be much more comfortable if each of us could eat a piece of watermelon.
After returning home with a thirsty mouth, Wang Guixiang was shocked when she saw their disgraced appearance.
"Sweet potato, didn't you go to the orchard? What happened? Everyone is downcast." Wang Guixiang asked with concern.
Gu Zian was afraid that Wang Guixiang would be worried, so he replied, "Grandma, it's okay. Is the rice ready?"
"Well, it'll be ready soon. Your aunt and I made buns for you and cooked porridge in the back pot. Go wash your face and it will be out of the pot soon."
When they finished washing their faces and came out, Wang Guixiang's steamed buns had already come out of the pan and were served on the table with oily and spicy buns.
Then he scooped out a bowl of rice porridge for each of them.
When the boys saw this, they rushed to the kitchen to serve food.
To be honest, I was starving all morning, so I picked up the buns and ate them. I ate two of them each before I felt a little better in my stomach.
Wang Ying came out of the kitchen, saw them devouring their food, and asked, "What on earth did you do this morning? I just came back from the orchard and didn't see you."
Jin Xin gnawed on the bun and said to Wang Ying, "Aunt, we are going to my second aunt's natal village."
"Shanghe Village?" Wang Ying was surprised, "What are you doing there?"
Jin Xin replied, "I want to see the place where my second aunt used to live. We haven't been there yet. We went to have a look today."
"There's no one at home, why are you going there? You can't enter the house either."
No wonder I was so hungry when I came back, after walking so much.
Tang Ruizhe said, "There is a woman named Lin Jiao who lives with her daughter at Uncle Yongqiang's house." "What? Lin Jiao? She is in Shanghe Village?" When Lin Jiao's name was mentioned, Wang Ying suddenly became angry.
