Upon hearing her son was about to jump into the river, Li Xueqin quickly got up and walked forward briskly.
She grasped her son’s arm and said, heart aching, "Good son, don’t make a fuss yet, let’s think of a way!"
Seeing hope, An Guoliang’s eyes lit up, and he continued to wail, "I don’t care, I want to marry Gu Jin as my wife; I want no one but her!"
"Enough!" An Hanyi shouted impatiently.
Li Xueqin and An Guoliang were both taken aback by his shout.
The mother and son stared at him in fear, their eyes revealing unease.
An Hanyi appeared scholarly, but in reality, he was the most ruthless and cunning man.
In this family, no one dared to oppose him.
Facing his son’s frightened expression, An Hanyi slowly stood up.
He said to his wife, "Go and sound out the Gu Family, see what they think. If their family isn’t interested, co back without alarming them. Leave this matter to ."
Since his son wanted to marry, he would certainly get him a wife, regardless of who it was.
"Alright!" Her husband also supported their son, which made Li Xueqin relieved.
She imdiately helped her son up from the ground, "Liang’er, first go eat sothing. Mom will make a trip to the Gu Family and you’ll wait for Mom’s good news!"
"Okay!" An Guoliang imdiately bead, his smile so wide that his eyes disappeared.
Li Xueqin changed her clothes, tidied up a bit, listened to her husband’s instructions, and headed straight to the Gu Family.
...
At ho, Gu Jin, who was watering flowers with her child, had no idea soone had their eyes on her again.
An Mingji also didn’t know that his only relative in Qingshan Village wished to once again take everything he had.
The two were watering flowers under the greenhouse when a noise ca from outside.
"Sister-in-law Gu, are you ho?"
Li Xueqin noticed the Gu Family’s door was open, and Chen Hong was drying beans in the yard. She walked directly into the Gu Family’s courtyard.
Seeing the visitor was Li Xueqin, who rarely interacted with others in the village, Chen Hong greeted her politely, "The sister from the An Family is here."
Li Xueqin responded, casting her eyes to notice Gu Jin standing under the greenhouse in the courtyard.
The other was dressed in casual clothes, which looked quite expensive.
The young girl was tall and graceful, especially with a face so beautiful that even as a woman she couldn’t help but be dazzled.
The girl was holding a sprinkler, watering the flowers under the shed.
Beside her stood a tall, handso young man who didn’t look bad either.
However, facing An Mingji’s familiar face, Li Xueqin’s expression beca dazed.
This face, those eyes, resembled her deceased younger brother-in-law, and this boy’s entire deanor was even more like her deceased mother-in-law.
This was An Mingji, whom she hadn’t seen in many years.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he had grown so much.
Judging by his appearance, he seed to be living well.
This realization made Li Xueqin sowhat uncomfortable.
Back in the day, An Mingji was disliked by everyone in the village, and the village kids particularly bullied him.
She had seen An Mingji at his worst, covered in wounds, struggling like a dog.
Compared to the tall, handso young man in front of her, there was indeed a world of difference.
Seeing that he was doing well, and that he looked better than her own child, Li Xueqin’s eyes revealed a variety of critical and unfriendly expressions.
Chen Hong called Li Xueqin several tis, but received no response.
She couldn’t help but raise her voice, "Sister from the An Family?!"
This commotion finally brought Li Xueqin back to her senses.
