Unfortunately, Xu Wansui thought that Baozi was easy to bully because he didn't have a father, so he took drastic measures.

"What caused it?" Jiang Aiguo continued to ask, thinking that even if it was just children fighting, there should be a reason.

"They were talking about something at first, something like how Li Baobei has become well-behaved, and then for some reason, they started fighting."

"I was just looking for wild vegetables and fruits nearby when I was dragged over and beaten up."

"It seems that Xu Wansui took his anger out on me because he was wronged by Li Baobei and had nowhere else to vent his anger."

As Baozi continued speaking, his voice grew softer and softer.

It's clear that Baozi was still scared when he recalled what happened back then.

Jiang Aiguo already had a pretty good understanding of the cause and effect.

Now he needs to ask Li Baobei what she has to say before the matter can be considered truly concluded.

"Then you all go ahead with your work, I'll go to Li Guofu's house."

"Secretary Jiang, it's getting late. Why don't you stay for a meal before you leave?" Seeing that Jiang Aiguo was about to leave, Gu's mother hurriedly stepped forward, hoping that he could stay for a meal.

"No, I need to figure this out as soon as possible so I can stand up for them, mother and daughter." Jiang Aiguo waved his hand and turned to leave.

Su Niannian, Gu's mother, and Gu Nan all went out to see Jiang Aiguo off.

Zhou Daniu stood in the courtyard. Jiang Aiguo made a gesture to leave, and Zhou Daniu nodded and followed.

As Zhou Daniu reached the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and quickly walked to Su Niannian's side.

"Is there anything else, Brother Zhou?" Su Niannian asked, puzzled.

"Ahem." Zhou Daniu cleared his throat, glanced at Gu Nan, and then lowered his voice to say to Su Niannian, "If Gu Nan bullies you, you should tell me and my mother, and we will side with you."

Upon hearing this, Su Niannian couldn't help but smile, and then nodded.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou, and please thank Aunt Zhou for me too." Su Niannian smiled sincerely.

My family has been doing quite well this week.

Zhou Daniu nodded, glanced at Gu Nan, and then quickly left.

In fact, Zhou Daniu knew that he couldn't beat Gu Nan, but if Gu Nan really dared to bully Xiao Su, Zhou Daniu felt that even if he couldn't beat him, he would still have to step in.

After all, if it weren't for Xiao Su, the educated youth, the Zhou family would be holding a funeral right now.

If their beloved son, whom they had cherished for so many years, were to really die, it would be a huge blow to the Zhou family.

Gu Nan has excellent hearing. Although Zhou Daniu's voice wasn't loud, he still managed to hear what Zhou Daniu said.

"The Zhou family are all very nice people, and they know how to be grateful," Gu Nan said softly as he walked to Su Niannian's side.

"Yes, but he's overthinking it. My man would never bully me." Su Niannian's smile deepened.

Gu Nan smiled too, because... Su Niannian said, her man!

He was already her man!

Gu Nan was so happy he couldn't suppress his smile.

It was already evening, and the golden sunlight slanted into the courtyard, falling on Su Niannian.

His little girl looked radiant.

She was absolutely beautiful, but it was also this golden light that made Gu Nan feel that his little girl seemed somewhat mysterious.

He knew Su Niannian had many secrets, and he was curious about them, but unless Su Niannian told him, Gu Nan didn't plan to ask her anything.

He just wanted to protect her well!

I can be there for her the moment she needs support or someone to rely on.

This is enough.

Song Zhaodi stood not far away, a warm smile on her face. The two of them really looked like a perfect match.

Moreover, there was genuine emotion in their gazes as they looked at each other.

It's clear that the two people genuinely like and are attracted to each other.

Originally, Song Zhaodi was a little worried about Su Niannian and Gu Nan being together.

Looking at it now, they actually do seem to be a good match.

In the room.

After seeing Jiang Aiguo off, Gu's mother returned to the main room.

Widow Wu was bending down to put shoes on Baozi.

"What are you doing?" Gu's mother pulled up the bent-over widow Wu.

"I'm taking the steamed buns home. It's time for you all to have dinner, so we won't stay and bother you." In those days, no one was wealthy, so people generally didn't eat at other people's houses.

Widow Wu didn't want to delay the Gu family's meal, so she wanted to take the steamed buns with her.

"It's so late, you won't have time to go home and cook, so just stay and have a bite."

"Niannian brought over a particularly plump old hen today. I've already stewed it. Let's have a bite together." Gu's mother had always felt sorry for Widow Wu and Baozi.

There's no man in the house, so everything depends on Widow Wu, and Baozi is still so small.

Both of them are still in poor health, so if they stay for dinner, Widow Liu won't have to go home and cook.

"No, no!" Upon hearing that an old hen would be stewed for dinner, Widow Wu shook her head like a rattle drum.

"Stay here. Oh, by the way, I said at the hospital this afternoon that I saved some meat buns for Baozi. I'll heat them up for Baozi to eat later."

Upon hearing that there would be meat buns to eat, Baozi's eyes lit up with clarity.

He was very excited. Although his name was Baozi (steamed bun), he had never eaten a meat bun before.

When his father was still alive, his family did eat steamed buns, but they were vegetarian. When Gu Nan killed two wild boars, his family also received some meat, but most of it was made into cured meat.

I used only a little bit of fresh meat, added a lot of cabbage, and made it into steamed buns.

He still remembers that even with just a little meat added, the cabbage bun was elevated to a whole new level; the taste was simply wonderful.

"Mother..." Baozi called out to Widow Wu, as if asking, "Will I really be able to eat meat buns?"

Widow Wu instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing the expectant look in Baozi's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say no.

"Then, quickly thank Young Su, the educated youth."

"Thank you. Can I call you Sister Niannian like Ningning does?" Baozi looked at Su Niannian and asked expectantly.

"Of course you can."

Su Niannian took out an oil paper package from her bag, which contained two meat buns.

Baozi looked on expectantly, wanting to take it, but pulled her hand back halfway.

He dared not...

It was precisely this kind of sensible child that made Su Niannian feel heartache.

He stuffed the oil paper package in his hand into Baozi's hand.

Only then did Baozi truly feel the softness of the bun in her hand.

The white dough wraps around meat, right?

Baozi picked up a meat bun, intending to put it in his mouth, but then he thought of his mother and turned around, offering the meat bun to her instead.

"You eat it, I ate two at the county hospital." Widow Wu pushed the buns back in front of her son.
