"I understand, Uncle Li. I remember everything you said. In my heart, you’re no different from my father." Gu Shuangshuang smiled, sincerely liking and feeling grateful to Li Youjun. "Oh dear, will you two never stop talking? This awful weather is freezing! Just say less!" Duan Aihua, afraid of the cold, stomped her feet and rubbed her hands, urging Gu Shuangshuang, "You should hurry back too. Haven’t you just had a month of lying in? You look like you’ve just come out of prison. Going crazy from staying inside?" Gu Shuangshuang glared at Duan Aihua discontentedly but didn’t respond to her. Instead, she said to Li Youjun, "Uncle Li, my mom has been tough all her life. Now that she’s old, she can’t change her fiery temper. I’ll need you to put up with her a lot in the future!" "Don’t worry." Li Youjun smiled kindly, "Just live your little life well. Your mom and I don’t need you to worry. I’m a man, so I’ll give way to her no matter what." "Will you stop? You brat, who are you calling old? I’ll have you know, I’m still young!" Duan Aihua didn’t want to hear herself called old; her biggest fear was aging day by day. Gu Shuangshuang pouted, took a step back, and bowed to Li Youjun, "Uncle Li, I’m very grateful that you took in this old witch, so she doesn’t harm others! I express my highest respect for your selfless dedication!" "Are you done now?" Duan Aihua was used to this kind of interaction with Gu Shuangshuang and didn’t get angry, "Hurry back! We’re leaving! But don’t get smug. I’ll take the bus here every month to see my precious Nannan." After seeing them off, the young couple headed back. Tian Niu and Gu Shuangshuang interlocked their fingers as they walked back. From a distance, they saw Gan Tian carrying a big bag heading out, followed closely by Lin Miao. Both looked to be in a hurry. A few minutes later, the four of them met face to face. Tian Niu asked Gan Tian, "Where are you going? You look so rushed?" "I’m on family leave! Captain Tian, I’m rushing to catch the train. No time to chat!" Gan Tian kept walking without stopping. "Hey, what’s up? Is something going on?" Tian Niu noticed her uneasy expression and quickly asked. "It’s nothing, nothing! Let’s talk when I’m back." Gan Tian replied casually and quickened her pace. "I feel like something’s not right with Gan Tian." Gu Shuangshuang looked up at Tian Niu, "You should check if she’s facing any trouble." "Wife. If I go, you’re not going to barrage me with questions when I get back, right? You’re not going to suspect me, right?" Tian Niu was traumatized by his mother-in-law and now had a complex when alone with women other than his wife. "Stop babbling. Just go quickly!" Tian Niu left Gu Shuangshuang and chased after Gan Tian, who had already separated from Lin Miao. "Captain Tian, are you going after Gan Tian?" Lin Miao asked. "Yeah. She seemed in such a hurry! I’m not sure if there’s anything wrong. So, I came over to ask." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥 "That girl really didn’t misjudge people." "What?" Tian Niu didn’t immediately understand what Lin Miao meant. "Nothing. Captain Tian, you were spot-on. There’s indeed something with Gan Tian’s family. Her family wrote and said her mom was in a car accident and has been in the hospital... Her dad can’t manage alone and asked her to help take care of things."
