Indeed, Gao Xiaoi didn’t understand what An Ning was saying.
However, seeing the stillness on An Ning’s face, she wisely decided not to ask any questions.
The next day, regardless of whether Yan was willing or not, An Ning went back.
Gao Mutou took on a new job, plus the work in the fields, he was busy all day long.
So, it was Gao Daniu who took An Ning back.
At the doorway, they ran into An Dafu. Considering there were others around, they couldn’t show too much closeness, so they just exchanged greetings. An Ning asked about the household chickens, then they parted ways.
But, watching An Ning’s back, the heartache in An Dafu’s eyes was unmistakable.
Qiu ca out and happened to witness this scene.
She only lowered her eyelids and then said nonchalantly, "His father, we don’t have any land now. Do you think we should also raise so chickens, ducks, or pigs?"
Although An Dafu said the chickens at An Ning’s ho were a joint venture between the two of them, Qiu felt uneasy since they had nothing now.
An Dafu said, "You can handle it as you see fit. If you want to raise so, go ahead, but if not, I can still support you and the child."
Qiu’s eyes flickered a bit, and then she muttered an "okay" and turned to go back inside. However, if you listened carefully, her voice had a slight tremble.
An Dafu suspiciously looked at her slightly stumbling back and, full of doubt, turned to go inside as well.
Inside, An Dafu was constantly observing Qiu.
He found that the more he looked at her, the more she trembled with anxiety.
Approaching, An Dafu reached out to touch Qiu, but as soon as he made contact, she let out a frightened yelp and almost stumbled to the ground.
She was afraid of him.
An Dafu realized.
At that mont, Yaya ca in from outside and saw the strange scene in the room, asking, "Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"
"Nothing much, Dad has sothing to discuss with your mom, Yaya. Be good, and go play next door with Xiaoi," An Dafu said.
"Oh, okay." Yaya, being timid to begin with, although finding the scene in the room a bit strange, didn’t dare question when An Dafu said so and obediently turned to leave.
"Are you afraid of ?" Seeing Yaya leave, An Dafu finally asked.
"No, no..."
Although she said no, Qiu’s body continued to tremble.
Suddenly, a thought flashed in An Dafu’s mind, "You found out?"
"Ah..." Qiu scread, pushing him away fiercely, then fell to the ground herself. "I don’t know, I know nothing, please, please spare and Yaya. If you have any grudges, go to Erlaizi, it’s nothing to do with us mother and daughter...!"
An Dafu was distressed.
He had indeed overlooked that Qiu had been married to Erlaizi for ten years and would certainly know him well. Besides, he couldn’t behave as roguishly as Erlaizi, so it wasn’t surprising to have his identity discovered.
However, now it was a tricky situation.
If Qiu leaked his identity, he didn’t want to end up like grilled at.
Moreover, he had been quite close to Ningning recently, and with Ningning changing significantly as well, it wouldn’t be good if his daughter also ca under suspicion.
With that in mind, he took a couple of steps forward, but it only made Yan more terrified.
"When did you find out?" An Dafu asked.
"I always had doubts over this period, but just now, when you rubbed your thumb against your index finger, I was sure. Erlaizi would never make such a gesture, yet I saw you do it often."
