"We didn’t know Liu Family was giving that child a hard ti. After all, Liu Er’s family is from Qingshan Village, it’s unnecessary to hurt everyone’s harmony for that wolf...child."
"Exactly, exactly, quickly call him back..."
Listening to everyone chatter on, Gu Jin noticed most people were siding with Liu Er’s family. Villagers were still rejecting An Mingji in their hearts, or rather rejecting An Family. Grandma An was a young lady from a wealthy family, seen as a villain in their eyes, soone to be paraded through the streets.
The crowd also resented An Family’s wealth, and slowly the villagers began to shun An Family.
Gu Jinshen took a deep breath. She knew she couldn’t argue with these people.
She understood even more the difficulties An Mingji faced in his past life, surviving when the entire village bore no friendly attitudes towards him, it really was too hard and painful.
Villagers didn’t understand the critical implications of their words, and didn’t realize many tis their every word and action could drive soone to despair, their words were deeply harmful.
She tried to be calm as she addressed everyone, "I don’t care how things were before, right now Little An has been adopted by , legally registered at the police station. If I find out any of you continue to bully him like in the past, whether it’s adults or children, we’ll reckon all new and old grudges together!"
Gu Jin didn’t care about the relatives present, whether close or distant family ties, she wasn’t afraid to tear off the mask and let everyone know Little An now has her protection.
The onlookers’ faces indeed turned unsightly, but the patriarch of the Gu Family stood silently on the side, not refuting her, leaving them unable to stir up trouble with Gu Jin.
Liu Er’s wife quickly spoke up from the side, "Alright, alright, we won’t bully that white-eyed wolf, hurry and call him back!"
She truly was scared, especially if the police officers ca knocking, their family would be finished, especially with her husband’s usual misdeeds. If soone investigated, their family couldn’t continue!
Upon hearing the words "white-eyed wolf," Gu Jin stared quietly at Liu Er’s wife, coldly saying, "Get lost, you and your family, including the kids, stay far from Little An in the future!"
"Alright, alright...I’ll leave!"
Liu Er’s wife crawled up from the ground and headed towards the gate of Gu Family.
Watching those gathered in the courtyard for the spectacle, Gu Jin coldly said, "For those of you with nothing better to do, please go ho."
Having witnessed Gu Jin’s resolve, naturally, no one dared stick around.
Earlier, a few bold enough to advise Gu Jin still had kinship ties with Liu Er’s family, hearing Gu Jin ask them to leave, they were naturally eager to go.
Soon, the vast courtyard was left with only Gu Family mbers and Wu Zhiren, a good friend from a neighboring village who had co looking for Gu Jiajie.
Once everyone left, An Mingji peered into the courtyard from the doorway.
Seeing him, Gu Jin’s expression softened considerably, "They’re all gone, co in."
The child rushed into the small courtyard, heading straight for Gu Jin.
"Sister Jin!"
An Mingji threw himself into Gu Jin’s embrace, holding tightly, preventing her from seeing the tears in his eyes.
Being protected felt so wonderful, his heart ward completely. He wanted to treat Sister Jin well for his entire life, so well he wished he could cut open his heart and present it to her, showing her his true feelings.
As the drama ended, the old man of Gu Family moved leisurely to stand before Gu Jin.
"Today you’ve made quite a scene, the village will surely spread the news. Several neighboring villages won’t escape hearing about Gu Family having a fierce woman. You’ll have a hard ti finding a match later."
"..."
Gu Jin was utterly speechless, her mouth twitching involuntarily.
