It was already almost noon, and by the time Ms. Wu finished cooking, everyone was ravenous.
Ms. Wu nodded and sighed. Looking at their spacious and clean new home, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She said, "Alright then. When I have a moment later, I must also go and thank them."
Gu Qingli agreed silently. That's a good idea.
"Mother, remember we also need to thank the Village Chief, Second Grand-uncle."
"Don't worry, I know. When we were at the Drugstore, many fellow villagers came to visit your father. He was so delighted." As Ms. Wu spoke, she began to shed gold beans, but this time they were tears of joy.
In the past, their family had lived worse than dogs, despised by everyone in the village. Now, being treated so kindly by so many villagers, the bitterness in Ms. Wu's heart from severing ties with the Gu Family finally dissipated.
She had also figured it out; it was better to rely on oneself than on others.
