Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Grandma’s Good Little Darlings

After Wang Dilai fainted and the talisman water was sprinkled, there was nothing left to see. Everyone still had fish stewing at home, so they all hurried back to eat.

Xu Shuhua wasn’t in a rush to leave. Instead, she picked up Yu Nuannuan and walked over to Qin Yuelan. “Little Daibao, come on, let’s go have some fish porridge with Grandma!”

Gu Mo nodded, then looked up at Qin Yuelan with hopeful eyes.

Qin Yuelan felt a bit embarrassed about letting Gu Mo go to the Yu family’s house for a meal, but before she could say anything, Xu Shuhua spoke up. “I’m inviting Daibao to have porridge, not you. You can’t refuse on Daibao’s behalf.”

Hearing this, Qin Yuelan was stunned.

It sounded reasonable at first, but the more she thought about it, the more something felt off.

Before she could figure it out, she felt Gu Mo in her arms gently start to wriggle. Afraid she might drop him, she had no choice but to set him down.

Xu Shuhua picked up Yu Nuannuan with one arm and took Gu Mo’s hand with the other, strolling leisurely towards the Yu family’s house.

Anyone who didn’t know the situation would probably think this was a grandmother taking her grandchildren home for dinner!

Watching the three of them walk away, Qin Yuelan suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and tears nearly fell from her eyes.

Just then, Gu Jianguo came over and saw her like this. He quickly asked, “Yuelan, what’s wrong?”

Qin Yuelan took a deep breath, forcing back her tears, but her voice was still choked as she spoke. “Did you settle Mom down?”

At the mention of Wang Dilai, Gu Jianguo’s expression changed. He lowered his voice and replied, “Mom’s awake. She’s talking to Jiandong.”

The tears Qin Yuelan had just managed to hold back surged up again, even stronger than before.

“Jianguo.” Qin Yuelan paused, gathering all her courage. “How about… we split off from the family and live on our own?”

Even if they didn’t get much from the split!

As long as the three of them could live on their own, she and Gu Jiandong weren’t afraid of hardship. Wasn’t that enough to get by?

Even if life was tough, even if they had to suffer and be poor, it would still be better than being wronged and humiliated every day like this!

She could endure it, but Gu Mo was still just a child!

He was so young, yet his own grandmother called him a monster, said he was dirty, and even brought in a shaman to force him to drink talisman water.

The more Qin Yuelan thought about it, the more suffocated she felt. “This time we happened to come back in time, but what if we’re not so lucky next time? What if Daibao really gets forced to drink that talisman water, he…”

At this point, Qin Yuelan couldn’t go on, and her tears fell uncontrollably.

Gu Jianguo frowned deeply. After a long silence, he finally said, “Yuelan, don’t cry. When Dad gets back, I’ll talk to him about it.”

Gu Jianguo knew what Wang Dilai was like. If he brought up splitting the family with her, she’d probably curse him out before he could even finish.

Seeing that Gu Jianguo had finally relented and wasn’t just keeping silent like before, Qin Yuelan finally felt a sense of relief and hope for the future.

As long as Gu Jianguo was willing to split from the family, even if it didn’t happen today, it would happen eventually.

Meanwhile, Xu Shuhua led Gu Mo and Yu Nuannuan back to the Yu house. She had them both sit on the bamboo bed in the courtyard. “Daibao, Nuanbao, sit here nicely. I’ll go get you some porridge. Be good, okay?”

Yu Nuannuan and Gu Mo both nodded at the same time, looking just like little chicks pecking at rice—so obedient and so cute.

Seeing them move in perfect sync, Xu Shuhua’s face bloomed with a smile. “Grandma’s good little darlings~”"
