Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Xu Ancheng's words immediately made Xu Huaishan, who was sitting there, blush.

Xu Huaishan's face flushed red as he faced his own child, feeling utterly humiliated. "Whether she lives or dies, I'm not afraid of her."

After saying that, he went back into the house.

After he left, Xu Anming and the others began to gossip without restraint, "Did Mother really break up with Father because of this?"

Xu Ancheng nodded. "It seems like they're getting impatient with the service."

Xu Ansheng frowned upon hearing this, "Our father is the same, he should just pour out the basin of water he used to wash his feet."

“Our mother is getting older every year, how can we still order her around like we used to when she was young?”

His wife, Li Juan, patted his arm, signaling him to stop talking.

Li Juan was afraid that her father-in-law would come back and say that her husband was on her mother's side if he heard what he said.

Don't wait until the family is divided to favor the eldest and third sons' families over this issue.

Xu Ansheng fell silent, but Xu Anming spoke up, "But we can't just let this little thing cause the two of us, at our age, to just give up on each other!"

Upon hearing his elder brother's words, Xu Ancheng immediately thought of what Wen Tang had said: "It's not a big deal. The last straw that broke the camel's back has no weight!" Xu Ancheng completely copied it.

Upon hearing this, Xu Anming frowned at him, and Xu Ancheng quickly explained, "It wasn't me who said it, it was Yan Li's wife who said it."

Seeing Xu Anming's brows furrow even more, Xu Ancheng whispered, "Yan Li's wife also said that our mother would have been better off giving birth to a piece of barbecued pork than us."

"What's burning?" Xu Anxin asked, her face full of questions.

Xu Ancheng shook his head. "Anyway, it wasn't anything nice."

Xu Ansheng couldn't help but think, "Yan Li's wife doesn't seem like an easy person to talk to."

Xu Ancheng immediately nodded in agreement, "He's not easy to talk to at all."

"So, Mom isn't coming back tonight?" Xu Anming asked.

Xu Ancheng nodded. "They definitely won't be coming back."

"No, I'll pick you up tomorrow. It's too late today."

Xu Ancheng and Xu Ansheng both nodded, acknowledging their elder brother's words.

The next morning, Xu Anming arrived at the Gu family's house.

They arrived before Gu Juyuan and the others could get out of bed.

Gu Jin had also gotten up early; she had slept in Gu Shuhe's room yesterday.

There was no snoring beside her, and she slept so peacefully, a rare occurrence for her.

A good night's sleep makes me feel refreshed and energized when I wake up in the morning.

She was even less inclined to continue the relationship with Xu Huaishan.

She felt that if she had a piece of land, she could build her own house and live alone, that would be a wonderful thing.

So when Xu Anming arrived at the Gu family home, Gu Jin, his mother, immediately asked him in an annoyed tone, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Anming "..."

"...Come, let me take you home."

After Xu Anming finished speaking, Zhong Meixian saw him and said, "Anming, you're here. Have you eaten yet?"

Xu Anming smiled and nodded, "Auntie, I've already eaten."

"Then sit down, I'll get you a chair."

Xu Anming waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, Aunt, I won't sit. I'm just here to pick up my mother and take her home. I'll be leaving in a bit."

Gu Jin laughed in anger at these words, "You think I'll leave just because you came to pick me up?"

"You think it's weird."

Xu Anming "..."

He first glanced awkwardly at Zhong Meixian, who quickly turned to find a stool. Xu Anming then walked towards Gu Jin and lowered his voice, "Mother, what are you doing?"

"Just because my dad made you pour out the foot bath water?"

"Just don't fall down next time, then it'll be fine."

His words infuriated Gu Jin so much that she punched him. "I've been dead for decades, and he hasn't remembered any of my good deeds. You all just can't see it either."

“I just did it once, and he immediately gave me a hard time, kicked over the foot bath basin, and made a mess of the whole room with foot bath water. Now you all blame me, don’t you?”

Xu Anming was unaware of this part of the story. He opened his mouth, but only managed to say, "Father has a bad temper..."

Gu Jin was so angry that she banged her head against him, saying, "He has a bad temper, so I deserve to suffer. I deserve to suffer."

Zhong Meixian brought over a stool and saw Gu Jin headbutting Xu Anming, so she quickly stepped forward and pulled her away.

Pulling Gu Jin back, Zhong Meixian advised Xu Anming, "Anming, why don't you go back first and wait until your mother calms down before we talk about it?"

Xu Anming was embarrassed by the collision and could only nod awkwardly, "Okay, Aunt, I'll go back now."

Lin Liansheng brought a shovel from the neighboring yard. Seeing him leave, he said, "Anming, won't you sit for a while?"

"I can't stay any longer, I have things to do at home, I'll head back now," Xu Anming said with an awkward smile.

Lin Liansheng didn't ask any more questions, only saying, "Take it easy on the road."

Xu Anming left, and Gu Jin sat in the kitchen wiping away her tears again.

I never thought anything of it when I was enduring it, but now that I can't hold back anymore, I realize that I have endless grievances to express.

Xu Anming made a trip but couldn't bring the person back. Xu Huaishan picked up a shovel and went to the field, then kept his head down and didn't say a word all morning.

Xu Ancheng asked his second brother, "Second brother, do you really think Mother can leave Father?"

Xu Ansheng shook his head; he wasn't sure either.

Wen Tang genuinely thought Zhong Meixian's scallion and egg pancakes were delicious, so after breakfast, she started flattering her mother-in-law, "Mom, your pancakes are so delicious! Were your ancestors imperial chefs?"

Zhong Meixian was so flattered by these words that she didn't know whether to scratch her head or her bottom. She just grinned and said, "If you like it, Mom will make it for you again."

Wen Tang immediately smiled and replied, "Okay!"

Zhong Meixian "..."

Zhong Meixian: So, which family is so well-off that they eat egg pancakes every day?

They want eggs, oil, and flour...

Wen Tang had already brought a basket and a shovel, and also brought Chi Yue along. "Come on, Mom, let's go dig some wild onions."

"I still remember the place Jiaojiao took us!"

Zhong Meixian sat there, looked at the basket in Wen Tang's hand, then at Wen Tang's belly, and then got up.

On their way back from digging for scallions, they ran into Xu Ancheng's second aunt.

When Aunt Xu saw Zhong Meixian, she greeted her, "Aunt Ancheng, where have you come from?"

Zhong Meixian smiled and said, "I brought the two kids back some wild onions; they want to eat vegetable pancakes."

They had just finished greeting each other when Aunt Xu, He Lianlian, reached out and grabbed Zhong Meixian, then the two of them moved four or five steps away from Wen Tang and Chi Yue.

After pulling the people away, He Lianlian first turned back and gave Wen Tang and Chi Yue, the two new brides, an apologetic smile, and then immediately snuggled up to Zhong Meixian.

He Lianlian asked, "I heard that his third aunt is no longer living with his third uncle?"

"Why is this happening?"

Zhong Meixian was somewhat embarrassed when He Lianlian asked her this question.

After all, not many families get divorced these days, especially not one as old as Gu Jin.

Zhong Meixian was so embarrassed that she couldn't say a word for a long time.

She couldn't say it, but Wen Tang could: "Our family was so poor that even hanging oneself would fall from the roof. My sister-in-law got married, and not only did he not appreciate it, he even dared to let people pour out his foot bath water. Is it too long to live with someone like that?"

He Lianlian heard a voice behind her and turned around. She then saw the two new brides who should have been four or five steps away from her standing right behind her.
