Chapter 772: From the Village
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon witnessing Gu Zi’s firm resolve, An Yun and her husband felt a wave of relief wash over them.
An Yun took her daughter’s hand, responding, “We are content, Little Zi. With a wonderful daughter like you and your brother, your father and I couldn’t ask for more. Now, children, there’s no need to worry. Go and enjoy yourselves.”
Su Li took his classmates out to the yard for some fun, while Su Bing went with his uncle and aunt to move some items.
Gu Zi, observing the numerous baskets scattered around, poured her parents a cup of water. “You’ve brought so much with you. When did our family start producing such a variety of farm goods? And you even brought dried fish?”
An Yun accepted the cup of water, “These are all good things, all from the villagers themselves. We went around the village the day before to buy them, just so we could bring them to you all at once. Especially the wild honey, it’s a real treat. Your brother got it for you, and we’ve saved a jar for your sister-in-law. The rest is all for you.”
Hearing that these items were painstakingly sourced by her family, Gu Zi was touched. Her family truly cared for her, their married daughter. “Alright, I’ll make sure to enjoy these. You two should relax and watch some TV. You’ve come a long way, so rest well today. What would you like for dinner?”
As Gu Zi turned on the television, An Yun and her husband looked around. The lavish decor of the living room was, to them, comparable to a king’s castle. Perhaps even a king’s castle wouldn’t be as grand. Su Shen was certainly generous with his money.
Even though An Yun wanted her daughter to live well, she couldn’t help but worry about such extravagance. It seemed impossible to live comfortably in such a large house.
She said to her daughter, “Business has been booming lately, and our shop has been incredibly busy. Your sister-in-law was worried about my health, so she decided to close the shop a few days ago. You probably don’t know, but your Aunt Yang came to the city a few days ago. When Yang Zhen found out the shop was closed, she took your Aunt Yang to her place. Yuan Yuan is with your Aunt Yang. The child is close to Yang Zhen. In the end of the day, they’re family. freewёbnoνel.com
“We arrived late today because we were waiting for your sister-in-law to return from her mother’s house. There was a small issue at the Li family, but it should be resolved now. Anyway, don’t worry. Your sister-in-law and I came to help you with some chores. You have to take care of the house and work, so for the next few days, you don’t have to worry about any housework.”
Listening to her mother’s words, Gu Zi felt a warmth in her heart, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. “Understood, Mom. When we have time, let’s invite Yang Zhen and Aunt Yang over. Our house is big enough, we won’t have any trouble accommodating them.”
An Yun replied, “That sounds good, Gu Zi. Let your father watch the television alone. You can show me around the kitchen. Your sister-in-law and I will take care of dinner tonight. You should rest. Oh, and your brother will be returning to work at the pig farm later, so we won’t need to prepare his meal.”
Gu Zi led An Yun towards the kitchen, “Brother has been quite busy at the pig farm recently, hasn’t he? He’s lost quite a bit of weight. I have some bird’s nest soup in the fridge. After he finishes moving the stuff, let’s have him drink a bottle to replenish his energy before he leaves. After all, he still has to drive.”
An Yun was delighted, “Little Zi, you’re so thoughtful, always considering your brother. He’s the type to neglect himself while taking care of others, just like your father. Before we came, your sister-in-law also advised him not to be so selfless. It’s enough that he’s tired from work, but he even uses his spare time to help his colleagues transport goods.”
The mom and daughter spent some time in the kitchen before Gu Zi took her mother on a tour of the large house.
By the time they reached the front yard, most of the children had been picked up.
At that moment, a stylishly dressed woman arrived to pick up her child. Seeing Gu Zi, she immediately approached with a displeased expression and questioned, “Are you Su Li’s mother? Are you the one teaching my child that farmers are equal to us?”
Gu Zi glanced at the child trailing behind the woman, recognizing him as the one who had earlier scorned her family’s humble attire. She instantly understood the situation. The child’s attitude was a reflection of his mother’s.
Gu Zi’s smile faded, “Madam, do you disagree with what I said?”
The fashionable woman huffed coldly, arrogantly stating, “Of course I disagree. How could people of our class possibly be equal to farmers? Is this woman beside you your rural mother? Son, is your classmate’s family from the countryside? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have let you come today. It’s laughable. Just because you rented a house here, you think you’re no longer from the countryside?”
