Nianyang said aggrievedly, “I just saw that Eldest Uncle’s family’s food supply was almost empty. I thought about how they had helped our family many times in the past and how we were all relatives, so I gave the things to Eldest Uncle so they have an easier life and give our family a good reputation. However, Mom asked me to get the things back. If the neighbors see this, they won’t think that our family is cold-blooded and heartless. Dad, your reputation will be ruined!”

Just like Wang Ying, Gu Yuandao also felt that Nianyang was helping outsiders and was about to scold her. When he heard Nianyang’s words, he immediately felt embarrassed. He said with a dark expression, “Stupid woman, Yangyang has already given it away. Why are you still asking for it back? You can be shameless, but I still want my face!”

“Old Gu, don’t listen to that wretched girl’s nonsense. That’s a big hen and eggs. We don’t even have any meat anymore…” Wang Ying looked like she was about to cry. When she thought about how the things that could’ve been hers have entered the mouths of the Jiang Family, she wanted to vomit blood. If she could get them all back, she could nourish her eldest daughter even more.

Gu Yuandao actually wanted it back too, but when he thought of his reputation, he hardened his heart and said, “Alright, stop shouting. If Yangyang gives it to the Jiang Family, it belongs to the Jiang Family. You’re not allowed to take it back. Otherwise, I won’t let you off!”

Although Wang Ying was shrewish, she was afraid of her husband’s anger and immediately became obedient.

When Gu Youlan entered the courtyard with a dark expression, she saw Wang Ying squatting at the door and wiping her tears. She quickly went over and asked, “Mom, why are you crying?”

When Wang Ying saw her eldest daughter, it was as if she had instantly found someone to rely on. She quickly grabbed her hand and told her what had just happened. “Lanlan, I feel bitter. Back then, in order to give birth to that jinx, not only did we lose a piece of land at home, but I also had a gynecological illness. Now, Old Gu has actually lost his temper at me time and time again because of that jinx. How did I give birth to such a troublesome scourge?!”

Gu Youlan hid the viciousness in her eyes and portrayed the image of a considerate daughter vividly. “Mom, don’t be angry. Be careful not to hurt your health.”

Wang Ying looked worried and said, “I’m mainly anxious. You’re going to university next year and our family doesn’t have any savings. That jinx doesn’t listen to me as if she’s possessed and insists on studying. What should I do?!”

Gu Youlan comforted her. “Mom, it’s fine. Anyway, the results of the preliminaries will be out in a few days. Yangyang’s results are so bad, she definitely won’t be able to be selected. Won’t we be able to force her to drop out of school?”

Wang Ying slapped her thigh. “You’re right. That wretched girl is so stupid. She can’t get into university at all. When the results come out, I’ll make her drop out of school to farm for me!”m

Gu Youlan said patiently, “Mom, doesn’t Yangyang know how to read medical books to treat illnesses? When the time comes, we can get Yangyang to treat illnesses and earn money for our family. What do you think?”

Wang Ying’s eyes lit up. “Okay, okay, okay. This is good. That wretched girl is stupid. Fortunately, she knows some medical skills. When the time comes, the money she earns will all be for you to study in university!”

A smug smile appeared in Gu Youlan’s eyes. ‘Gu Nianyang, oh Gu Nianyang, don’t blame me for being too ruthless to you. You’re my sister, so you have to work for me!’

The money you earn is mine. Soon, your man will belong to me too!

Over here.

Not knowing what Wang Ying and Gu Youlan were up to, Nianyang returned to her room and entered the medical space.

She went to the medicinal field to take a look. The ginkgo that she had planted yesterday was ready for harvest, so she dug out the herbs and placed them in the medicine cabinet.

There were thousands of small compartments in the medicine storage cabinet. The name of the medicine was written on each compartment. Nianyang only needed to use her mind to bring the medicine in and out. It was very convenient.

Feeling extremely tired, Nianyang took off her clothes and went straight to the hot spring. As she soaked, she picked a few apples and ate them with the spiritual spring.

Because her current body did not have proper food and was too weak, it was severely malnourished. Therefore, she had to rely on the spring water and spiritual fruits in the space to nourish her body and improve her physical fitness.
