Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

133. Severing diplomatic ties

An Ran felt very sorry for her mother when she recalled the vicious words Wang Yuzhen had said to her.

The father abandoned them, mother and children, for another woman. He only brought them shame and harm; he didn't care about them at all, nor did he care about their lives.

He gave all his love to his brother's children and his two current children, while ignoring him and his sister.

Grandma often said that for the sake of her two children, Mom would rather raise them all by herself and endure the gossip of others than remarry.

The mother didn't remarry because she was afraid that others wouldn't like her and her brother.

This uncle seems quite righteous; he's willing to cooperate with them in their act to protect them.

An Ran nodded after thinking about this: "Mom, if this can protect us, then it's fine too."

An Xin: "I like Uncle Yuan. Although we've only met once, he bought us White Rabbit milk candy for the first time, which was really nice. Later, he also gave my brother a bullet casing and me a bracelet, which is quite pretty."

Su Jinru: "I'll buy you delicious food. Does being pretty mean you're a good person? Mom doesn't lack food, clothes, or other necessities for you."

An Xin: "Of course, it's not just that. To protect us, he was willing to act alongside us. This uncle has a very kind heart!"

Su Jinru lovingly touched her daughter's little face.

“An Xin is right, Uncle Yuan is a kind person.”

"He's still a 'jfj uncle' (a term of endearment for a young man)."

Su Jinru nodded.

"I wish Uncle Yuan were our real father."

"We're just putting on an act. When you meet him, you must respect him and be friendly with him. Don't let outsiders see through our act. However, he rarely comes, so he won't make things too difficult for you."

"It's very late, you should go to sleep! You have to go to school tomorrow morning!"

The two children went to bed, but Su Jinru tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

……

The following evening, the other children came to ask Anran and her brother to go out and play, just like they always do.

An Ran looked at Li Jianming standing among her friends.

He remembered what his mother had said.

He said to Li Jianming, "Li Jianming, my mother won't let me play with you anymore, so don't come here again."

Li Jianming said nonchalantly, "My mom didn't let me play with you before, but I still played with you, didn't I? It's their business, what does it have to do with us?"

“There’s nothing between us, but because we played together, my mother was slandered by your mother, my sister was almost beaten by your mother, and your mother even tried to kill Hei Zi. So, I can’t play with you anymore.”

“If I continue to play with you, your mother will beat you and hate our whole family, including Hei Zi, so we can’t play together anymore.”

“Anran, let me play with you! My mom is locked up now, she won’t hit me anymore, and she doesn’t dare to hit Heizi either. Heizi bit her.”

"Your mom will be released in a few days. She doesn't want you to play with us, so go find other kids to play with!"

"But I want to play with you guys!"

“Li Jianming, your mother got herself thrown into the police station’s dark room because she wouldn’t let you play with us. I don’t know how much she will hate us, hate Heizi, and hate my mother after she gets out. I don’t want my mother to be hurt by your mother again.”

Li Jianming: "But it was clearly my mother who was hurt."

"It was your mother who started this!"

Li Jianming: "An Ran, do you really have a father who is a prostitute?"

Anran remembered her mother's words and nodded solemnly.

"Yes."

The other girls gathered around, saying enviously, "Anran, your dad really is JFJ! How come you've never mentioned him before?"

An Ran felt a flush rise to her face as she thought of her biological father.

He pulled a bullet casing from his pocket.

“These are bullet casings that my dad picked up from the battlefield. He gave them to me as a gift.”

The others gathered around: "So this is what a bullet casing looks like!"

"Was it really picked up from the battlefield?"

"Only after the bullet is fired can the cartridge case detach. Don't you think it was picked up on the battlefield?"

"So, your father was a veteran?"

"He's a JFJ (Junior High School Student), why wouldn't he go to the battlefield?"

"Anran, your dad is amazing."

"Yes! I'm so envious that you have a dad like that."

An Xin brought Hei Zi out.

"Let's go! But Li Jianming can't come with us."

The other kid next to him chimed in, "Yeah! Li Jianming, your mom won't let you play with Anran. She's not only hitting you, she's going to beat Heizi to death. So don't hurt Anran and Heizi."

The other kids chimed in, "Yeah! Yeah! Don't play with us anymore. Your mom got herself thrown into the neighborhood committee's dark room."

All the friends said the same thing, and one friend even pushed Li Jianming aside.

Seeing that everyone agreed that Li Jianming shouldn't play with them, An Ran pulled Hei Zi over.

"Let's go!"

Upon hearing An Ran's words, Hei Zi immediately darted out.

The children all chased after him, laughing and shouting.

An Ran ran out after her, but then, as if remembering something, she turned back to look for her sister.

An Xin ran up, panting.

An Ran said, "You're still young, don't run so fast. I'll wait for you, and Hei Zi will wait for you too."

An Xin turned around and looked at Li Jianming, who was standing there all alone.

"Brother, Li Jianming is so pitiful."

"He is pitiful because he has such a fierce mother, so his plight has nothing to do with us."

Just then, Hei Zi ran back, and his friends followed him back in a swarm.

Hei Zi was locked up for a day, but once it was released, it ran around wildly, and the children chased after it, finding joy in the chase.

Blackie knew that the children were chasing it for fun, so it would run and stop to amuse them. When they were about to catch it, it would run very fast and quickly create distance. When it ran far away, it would stop and wait for them. When they got closer, it would run away again.

If the children approach it, it will not see Anran and Anxin and will turn back to look for them.

In short, Kuroko will play along with the children and also keep an eye on her two little masters at all times.

Because of this, while the children enjoyed playing with Heizi, they also envied Anran and Anxin for having such a smart and loyal dog.

Because of this dog, many friends want to be friends with Anran and Anxin.

Because if you make friends with them, you can play with Hei Zi. Hei Zi will only get close to friends that An Ran and An Xin agree to associate with.
