Gu Mingyang smiled, his features were as handsome as those of a young man, but his eyes were as innocent as a child's: "Why should I cry?"
Gu Mingyan sniffed and pushed the broken hair away from his forehead: "Because I haven't seen you for a long time, so I cried thinking about you. This is a human thing, I can't control it. .”
Seeing his brother's half-understanding eyes, Gu Mingyan sighed inwardly.
My brother has the physical appearance of an adult, but only the mind of a child.
After her father passed away, she became her brother's sole guardian, but she caused her brother to have a car accident in her previous life, so she blamed herself until her death.
In this life, she will never let her relatives disappear from her side again.
Seeing her brother's bangs that were so long that they covered his eyes, Gu Mingyan offered to fix his hair.
"That's great." Gu Mingyang's favorite thing is that she cuts his hair. He never gets tired of this game, "I want to cut it for you too."
Gu Mingyan said helplessly: "Okay."
This is how she got her short hair. Every time after cutting her brother's hair, he would follow suit and give her a haircut.
The two siblings cut each other's hair short. Gu Mingyan looked at herself in the mirror, and she looked more and more like a boy. No wonder the Li family mistakenly thought she was a boy in her previous life.
The first person to discover her true gender was Li Yunzheng. She could never forget the shock in his eyes at that time.
Later, when the weather got hot and her clothes became thinner, the rest of the Li family discovered that she was a girl.
Before they found out that she was a girl, the elders of the Li family behaved brazenly in front of her, sometimes even shirtless. Later, when they learned that she was a girl, they all became reserved.
The ill will towards her seemed to have lessened a bit.
Later, Li Minglang told her that his brothers were all girl-obsessed and had always wanted a sister.
If Gu Mingyan wasn't a girl, their attitude towards her might be even worse.
"..." Gu Mingyan was quite speechless at that time.
"Yanyan, are you hungry?"
Her brother's voice brought her thoughts back.
When Gu Mingyan heard this, he knew that he was hungry.
She went to the refrigerator and found some noodles and vegetables, so she ordered a bowl of vegetables and egg noodles for her brother and herself.
After eating and getting drunk, the brother and sister watched TV on the sofa. Around 6 o'clock in the evening, Ji Yanhong came back after playing cards.
She was wearing a precious mink coat, and her hair was permed in the most fashionable style. When she saw Gu Mingyan in the living room, she was overjoyed: "Oh Mingyan is back, when did you come back, why didn't you tell your aunt?" .”
Ji Yanhong was not usually so enthusiastic. She knew that Gu Mingyan went to Li's house yesterday to ask for money, and now he had banknotes in his hand, so she was so attentive.
Ji Yanhong asked directly: "Do you want the money? How much did the Li family give this time?"
Gu Mingyan said calmly: "No money."
"What? No money? How come there is no money? Didn't you and your uncle go to ask for money?!"
"The Li family has been sucking our blood for ten years. Now they are unwilling to give us any money. The Li family will not give us a dime in the future. You should give up this idea."
After hearing this, Ji Yanhong said bitterly: "The Li family is becoming more and more stingy. They used to be able to ask for a house and a car. When they were generous, it would be generous to give them hundreds of thousands. But now they don't even get a dime. Bah, really." It’s not a thing!”
Looking at the woman's greedy face, Gu Mingyan thought that the Li family looked at her just like she looked at her aunt.
She couldn't believe how she had gone to Li's house to ask for money again and again.
And it should be fair and aboveboard, as a matter of course.
Although Gu Mingyan didn't like Li Yunzheng, he had no ill intentions towards the rest of the Li family.
Listening to Ji Yanhong's insults, she glanced and said, "I don't think the Li family is getting stingy, but you are getting greedy."
"What did you say?" Ji Yanhong looked at her in surprise.
Gu Mingyan has lived in the Jiang family for many years and never dared to disobey them.
They told her to go east, but she would not go west, let alone contradict them like this.
Now that she said such "rebellious and unethical" words, it can be seen how shocked Ji Yanhong was: "Gu Mingyan, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course I know what I'm talking about. Auntie, do you know what you're talking about? The Li family's money belongs to the Li family. What does it have to do with you? You're a stingy family, but they bought a house and a car for your Jiang family. Isn’t it enough?”
Ji Yanhong immediately said: "What do you mean by buying it for us? The Li family's money is for you two brothers and sisters, not for us!"
Gu Mingyan said lightly: "So, aunt, you also know that the money given by the Li family is for us brothers and sisters? Then why didn't you spend a penny on us? Your names are written on the house, and my uncle is driving the car. Even the clothes are reluctant to be bought for me and my brother, and my brother and I have not enjoyed any of the money the Li family has given us over the past ten years."
Looking at the tattered clothes on Gu Mingyan and Gu Mingyang, Ji Yanhong choked. After a moment, she said confidently: "When the house was given to us, you were still underage and could only write the names of adults. Is this ours?" Is that wrong? If your uncle doesn’t drive the car, who will drive it? Can you drive it? Can your brother drive it with his IQ? We are all a family, and you actually care about us like this. We have raised you in vain for so many years!"
Hearing her talking about her brother's intelligence, Gu Mingyan's face suddenly turned cold, "Since my aunt said that I care about everything, I will care about it for a while. Now that I am an adult, I can write my name. If I have time, I will do it some other time. Go and transfer the property."
Ji Yanhong's expression changed instantly, "Don't even think about it!"
They have lived in this house for many years and have long regarded it as their own. It is absolutely impossible for her to spit it out and give it back to Gu Mingyan.
Looking at Gu Mingyan's indifferent face, Ji Yanhong suddenly smiled again, stepped forward to hold her hand, and said lovingly: "What's the matter with you girl? After not seeing you all night, your temper has become so bad? Is that right? Did your uncle make you angry again? It's okay, when your uncle comes back, aunt will scold him for you."
Although she was scolding this damn girl for having a bad temper in her heart, Ji Yanhong still wanted to coax her in a good voice and count on her to go to the Li family to ask for money in the future.
Gu Mingyan withdrew his hand and said in a calm tone: "It's not that my temper has gotten louder, it's that I was too stupid before."
She was so stupid that she felt grateful to her uncle's family who used her to make money.
Ji Yanhong didn't understand these incomprehensible words and didn't bother to talk to her. She just sat down on the sofa and ordered her as usual: "What kind of house and car? Let's talk about it later. You are still young. Well, it's not early." Come on, go cook, my aunt is starving to death."
Gu Mingyan sat still and said lightly: "From now on, I will only be responsible for my brother's food and clothing. If you want to eat, just do it yourself."
In her previous life, Gu Mingyan was a free nanny in the Jiang family. She was basically responsible for the food, drink, and toilette of the Jiang family.
"What's going on with you girl today? You keep arguing with me." Ji Yanhong's face turned ugly. "Anyway, you're fine. Why don't you go make some food?"
"Isn't my aunt okay? It doesn't matter if she makes a meal. Besides, if you treat me like this, I would think that you, the aunt, are abusing your niece."
Ignoring Ji Yanhong's ugly expression, Gu Mingyan grabbed her brother who was watching TV: "Brother, let's go back to the room to rest. Auntie is going to cook, so let's not disturb her."
After saying that, he led his brother straight back to the room.
Ji Yanhong was stunned. Is this still the obedient, hard-working Gu Mingyan?
We haven’t seen each other all night. Is she possessed?
Ji Yanhong held back her anger and sent a message to Jiang Weiping, asking him if something happened at Li's house. Jiang Weiping didn't reply. When she called, it also showed that the phone was turned off.
"Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off all day long!"
Ji Yanhong cursed and threw the phone aside, her stomach growling. She reluctantly went to the kitchen, washing rice while complaining that Gu Mingyan was lazy and refused to do things.
**
Gu Mingyan closed the bedroom door to block out the curses in the kitchen.
The ears that do not listen are pure.
This is a small room of less than ten square meters, with a bunk bed. My brother sleeps on the bottom bunk and Gu Mingyan sleeps on the top bunk.
Back then, Li Zhenghua bought this house in the city center to make it easier for Gu Mingyan to go to school, so that the Jiang family could live in it and take care of Gu Mingyan who was going to school.
The house is 100 square meters, which is not small, but with five people living there, it seems a bit crowded.
The master bedroom belongs to Jiang Weiping and his wife.
The second bedroom belongs to my cousin.
The smallest study room was converted into this room, where Gu Mingyan and her brother lived.
Although it is small, it is also cozy.
Gu Mingyan had not slept on this bunk bed for ten years. She lay on the top and looked at the ceiling within reach, feeling that everything was like a dream.
Being able to see my brother again should be the most gratifying thing since my rebirth.
My brother said from the lower bunk: "Yanyan, I like you today."
Gu Mingyan was stunned, and soon realized that he was referring to her quarrel with her aunt.
"Didn't you like Yanyan from before?"
The elder brother said tangledly: "I like it too, but I like today's one better."
"why?"
Seeing the expression on his brother's face that he didn't know how to explain, Gu Mingyan lay on the bedside and looked down: "Because I didn't know how to talk back to Yanyan before, but now no one can bully Yanyan, right? no?"
The elder brother nodded immediately: "That's it."
Gu Mingyan smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will always be like this from now on. No one can bully us."
Her brother looked at her with bright eyes, but Gu Mingyan felt slightly sad. He followed her and suffered a lot in the Jiang family.
Privately, they have always called their brother a fool. When she was not around, they would boss him around, bully him, and make fun of him.
Although my brother has low intelligence, he is still a human being, and as a human being he will be hurt and sad.
My brother must have felt very uncomfortable for so many years. When he saw Gu Mingyan resisting Ji Yanhong, he must have thought that he would not resist like her, so he said "I like today's smoke".
Suppressing his emotions, Gu Mingyan said with a smile: "Brother, let's go out for breakfast tomorrow and eat your favorite beef noodles. Go to sleep."
…
At the same time, the Li family villa.
There is a notebook on the desk in the study room, and a video call is ongoing.
In several chat windows on the screen, the faces of the three brothers of the Li family were displayed.
