The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.

“Teacher’s wife, I only call you that because of Teacher Gao. Today is the Little New Year, and everyone wants to be happy.” Su Ran stood at the doorway, the dim light illuminating her face.

Su Chunhua was startled when she finally saw Su Ran's appearance, but she quickly calmed down.

"Happy? How can I be happy when my man is dead?" Su Chunhua threw down her knitting needles and glared at Su Ran.

“Teacher’s wife, I also feel very sorry that Teacher Gao has passed away, but one cannot be stuck in the past and unable to move on. Besides, you still have two children to raise. Is it really appropriate to ask Xiao Tao to kill chickens?”

"What business is it of yours if I let my child kill a chicken? If you're so capable, give me money! Give me 100,000 yuan, and I'll sell Xiao Tao to you! I'll make her your slave!"

"Mom!" Upon hearing that she was going to be sold, Xiao Tao burst into tears. Her younger brother, who was on her back, also started crying when he heard his sister crying.

Su Chunhua quickly took her younger brother off Xiao Tao's back, held him in her arms, and gently coaxed him.

"Little Bao, don't cry. Mommy won't abandon you."

Seeing this scene, Su Ran felt suffocated.

She recalled how Teacher Gao had taken care of them before his death, pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to say it.

She knew that in this situation, any words would seem so pale and powerless.

She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound gentle and steady. "Okay, I'll take Xiaotao away, but not by buying or selling her. You can foster Xiaotao in my home, and I'll pay for her tuition and living expenses every year."

Su Chunhua was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this.

"Are you really going to take our Xiaotao away?"

Yes, if you'd like.

Su Chunhua was no longer as arrogant as before; she rolled her eyes and began to plan.

“I am Xiaotao’s mother. How could I let my own daughter live with someone like you who has no blood relation?” She looked at Su Ran. “How about this, for the sake of your teacher, you give me Xiaotao’s living expenses and tuition fees. After all, I am her guardian.”

Su Ran wasn't stupid; of course, she could see at a glance what Su Chunhua really wanted.

"Sister Ranran, I don't want to follow you, I want to follow Mommy." Xiaotao tugged at Su Ran's sleeve.

Some children are like that; no matter what kind of people their parents are, they only recognize one father and one mother in their hearts.

“I can give you a sum of money every month as Xiaotao’s living expenses and tuition fees, and you can also contribute to household expenses. However, if I find out that you have stopped Xiaotao’s studies, this money will never be transferred to your account.”

Su Ran's words can be seen as a guarantee for Xiao Tao's future.

Given Su Chunhua's character, she might not know how she would use the money after receiving it, but she would definitely not use it on Xiao Tao.

Only if Su Chunhua knows that Xiao Tao can go to school can she receive the money transferred from Su Ran.

Su Chunhua couldn't help but look at Su Ran with new eyes. Seeing her beautiful face, she felt that she had guessed something.

"Okay, you said it, so you have to keep your word, otherwise our Lao Gao died in vain!" She kept mentioning Lao Gao, trying to evoke Su Ran's sense of guilt.

"I mean what I say, and I hope you can too." Su Ran looked at Su Chunhua intently for a few moments.

Su Chunhua thought to herself, "I've watched this child grow up, so why is his gaze so unsettling now?"

Xiao Tao held Su Ran's hand, "Sister Ranran, I don't want to go eat anything delicious with you." She was afraid of leaving her mother.

Su Ran squatted down and said gently, "Okay, but you can't kill any chickens today. If you encounter any difficulties, go to your sister's grandmother. She will contact your sister."

After saying that, she walked outside.

As soon as I arrived at my doorstep, I saw a group of people waiting outside with flashlights.

Upon seeing someone approaching, the flashlight beam shone directly into Su Ran's face.

Su Ran shielded her eyes from the light and asked Little Butterfly, "What's going on?"

Little Butterfly: [Host, someone seems to recognize you.]

A gaunt man suddenly emerged from the crowd.

He held up his phone, shining the flashlight on Su Ran, and said into the phone, "Family, I told you your internet goddess is from our Xiaojiang Village, right? Now I'm introducing you to her, so hurry up and send her some gifts!"

Another person holding a phone shouted, "Family members, it really is Su Ran. She has lived here for more than ten years. We watched her grow up. In terms of seniority, we are her elders. What would you like to see? I'll have her perform for you."

Their eyes, green in the darkness like a pack of insatiable wolves, surrounded Su Ran.
