Anning ran to Grandma Gu's house, found the locked gate, and used a piece of wire to unlock it.
By the time Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu caught up, they saw that the gate was already open.
Mr. Gu was still confused: "Didn't we lock the door when we left?"
Mrs. Gu couldn't remember either: "Who would remember something like that? Let's just quickly grab our stuff and go. I can't stand it here any longer. If we stay, I'm afraid your mother is going to sell our daughter to Ankang as a bride."
Mr. Gu did not say much; together with Mrs. Gu, they took Anning inside to grab their things and left.
When Uncle Gu and the others finished their meal and returned, Anning's family was long gone.
Grandma Gu was so angry that she stomped her feet, cursing that Mr. Gu was heartless and that there was nothing good about Anning and her mother, claiming they had spoiled her good son.
