"Mom, what are you doing?"
Old Madam Gao was still in shock and didn’t respond for a mont, startled.
When she turned around and saw that it was Gao Dashu who scared her, she imdiately rembered and slapped him, "What are you doing? Are you trying to scare your old mom to death, you little brat?"
"Mom, I didn’t do it on purpose, I didn’t do it on purpose..."
Gao Dashu quickly used his hands to block her while begging for rcy.
The old lady may be small and thin, but when she hits people, she really doesn’t hold back.
Especially that slap on the body, it’s truly excruciating.
Seeing that Gao Dashu seed genuinely hurt by her strike, rather than pretending, Old Madam Gao grudgingly stopped.
"You’re a grown man now, but still so oblivious; it’s your own fault for getting hit."
"Yes, yes, it’s all my fault, please don’t be angry, mom..."
In the blind spot of Old Madam Gao’s view, Gao Dashu wore a look of impatience.
"By the way, what were you just looking at so seriously?" Gao Dashu asked, glancing towards the backyard.
Old Madam Gao replied with a wary face, "That little wretched girl is back!"
"Who?" Gao Dashu frowned.
"Who else but An Ning, that damn girl. I thought her dad took her to the capital city to live a good life, but she’s suddenly back. She barges in and has the nerve to criticize for not taking care of my grandchildren. I spent my life raising so many sons, why should I have to raise my grandkids too?"
Gao Dashu didn’t really listen to his mother’s selfish rant.
His mind was filled with the fact that An Ning was back!
Who is An Ning?
She was just soone with a pretty face, but now she’s the daughter of the Pri Minister!
That day, when An Ning was taken away, Madam Yan imdiately jumped into the river; after she woke up, the couple from the third household argued loudly, probably heard by everyone nearby.
It was only then that they learned the hunter they thought was just fortunate was actually the current Pri Minister.
No wonder he left Madam Yan and the daughter behind.
Madam Yan was just a village girl; in their shoes, with such status, they wouldn’t marry a country girl either!
After Old Madam Gao finished her long nagging, she turned to see Gao Dashu looking thoughtful.
Imdiately, Old Madam Gao beca wary.
"You, what are you thinking?"
Gao Dashu said, "Mom, An Ning is now the Pri Minister’s daughter. Dad has depended on Brother for the exams for years, yet he’s still just a re Scholar. Think about it, if we could catch this opportunity, with the Pri Minister Residence backing us, the Gao Family could rise to glory!"
"Stop having those crooked ideas. You know she’s the Pri Minister’s daughter now; do you really think you can just cozy up to the Pri Minister Residence?"
Although Old Madam Gao was usually hot-tempered, she wasn’t stupid.
Moreover, she was afraid of dying.
Old Mister Gao was the one wanting the Gao Family to rise above others; she was just an ordinary village woman. Although she hoped her family could rise above all, she still had basic self-awareness.
Besides, considering Madam Yan was once the Pri Minister’s wife and now married into their family, she’s been on edge, fearing retribution.
