After the village chief arrived home, his mother-in-law, Aunt Hua, asked, "The matter has been resolved."
The manager said: "If we can't solve anything, we still have to follow the old rules. Even the third child wants to lower the rent and let the little lady pay for it."
"That's what they deserve. The old grandmother of the Ding family came from this village. The rent has never been high, and she wants to reduce it. Don't I mean to bully this little lady because she is new here?"
The Ding family looks down upon this, and the head of the village knows it. In the past, he helped collect the rent, and then converted it into money and sent it to Ding's house.
Aunt Hua asked curiously, "How long will this little lady stay in this village? Is she really here to honor her deceased ancestors, or does the Ding family no longer want her."
Since An Ran arrived here, there have been various speculations, so the mayor is also curious.
The headman walked out with his hands behind his back and said: "What are you worrying about? This has nothing to do with us. Just don't cause any conflicts. After all, it is the Ding family behind her. Even if she is not favored, if something goes wrong, it will be for the sake of face. Ding The home must be protected too.”
After saying that, he went out with his hands behind his back.
Aunt Hua muttered: "I don't know this yet, but this little lady is not difficult to get along with."
An Ran picked up the bowl and drank half of the bowl of warm water before suppressing the nausea.
She hit the target at once, the child came at the wrong time, and now An Ran decided that she couldn't have this child.
From the attitude of the Ding family, she knew that he and the child would not be accepted by the Ding family just because she gave birth to a Ding family child.
Although until now, she has not understood why the Ding family insisted on marrying her. It would be too easy to terminate the engagement under the current conditions of the Ding family.
Not to mention the little kindness for the old man, all the kindness has faded after so long.
In the future, the Ding family will definitely help the uncle of the Ding family marry someone else, maybe it's the Ding Han family's niece who is weak in the wind, or it may be a young lady from a similar family background.
In any case, as long as they have children, who will care about themselves and their children being thrown into the countryside?
Even if at best, the Ding family accepted the child, what about me? As long as a child is born, it will be impossible to get rid of the Ding family in this life.
I'm afraid there will only be two endings. First, I will stay in the country quietly and accept my fate for the rest of my life, and maybe my child will never see him again. Second, give up your position and die suddenly.
Furthermore, An Ran didn't want to give birth to a child for a man whose appearance he didn't even see clearly.
An Ran made many excuses and reasons for herself, and finally made up her mind and asked Mrs. Ding to buy some herbs.
"Grandma is not feeling well, why don't we ask the doctor to take a look."
An Ran said calmly: "Nothing's wrong, it's just that we've been doing a lot of work in the countryside, and my throat has been uncomfortable these past two days. This medicine won't bother me, and it can also moisturize the lungs."
Mrs. Ding was still worried. She asked the doctor before taking the medicine, but he didn't hear that it was harmful to the fetus, so she took the medicine back.
An Ran didn't ask Mrs. Ding to help boil the medicine. She asked her to carry two buckets of water back, and she sat in front of the small stove and boiled the medicine herself.
He took out two medicines from his small package and added them in.
After Mrs. Ding came back, she went to the kitchen to cook, and An Ran returned to the house with the medicine.
An Ran picked up the medicine. The medicine was warm. She paused for a moment and took a small sip. When I took my second sip, there were ripples in the water.
An Ran reached out and touched her face. It turned out that she had already burst into tears.
Why are you crying? Haven't you already thought about it?
Picking up the bowl, An Ran couldn't drink any more.
He staggered and sat on the chair, feeling terribly uncomfortable. He covered his mouth with one hand and cried silently.
Her father went to the mountains to collect herbs and was seriously injured, which cost almost all the family's extra money. She took her younger brother to collect herbs in the mountains all day long, which allowed her father to live a few more years.
After her father left, the family didn't have so much expenses. When life was better, a marriage sent her to this strange place again, and she continued to struggle to survive.
Now even her mother and brother who supported her life are no longer around. This life is too lonely and too painful.
She didn't even want to live anymore, so she took the child with her and left.
An Ran cried sadly in the room. Although her voice was very small, the suppressed voice made people feel even more uncomfortable.
Mrs. Ding stood at the door and wiped her eyes from her eyes. The eldest grandma knew clearly in her heart that if the uncle was not at home, Mrs. Ding Han would not let her go back.
The voice gradually became quieter, and Mrs. Ding rushed up and knocked on the door, "Grandma, Grandma."
The door was stuck and couldn't be pushed open. Mrs. Ding was startled. The door banged loudly, "Grandma, please open the door quickly."
An Ran opened the door, her face pale and stained with tears. But at this moment, the young An Ran had an expressionless face and cold eyes.
"Mom, please heat some hot water. I'm a little thirsty."
Mrs. Ding stepped forward and touched An Ran's hand, which was indeed a little cold.
"Grandma, you are a good person. Believe me, the hard days will eventually pass and everything will get better."
Seeing that Mrs. Ding was so sure, An Ran twitched her lips and said, "No matter whether it's good or bad, life has to go through. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Mrs. Ding boiled hot water, An Ran washed her face first, and then drank a bowl of hot water. Her cold heart finally felt like beating.
An Ran said to Mrs. Ding who looked concerned, "Auntie, please tell Uncle Ding that I am pregnant. Don't tell anyone about my pregnancy, let alone let the people in the Ding family know."
After saying that, An Ran walked out, leaving Mrs. Ding alone and let out a long sigh.
The eldest grandma is probably afraid that Ding Han will know that if she wants to do something, the uncle and the master are not at home, and no one can make the decision for the eldest grandma now.
Standing in the open space outside the house, she looked at the small village, then turned to look at the mountains not far away. This was Xiaxi Village where she would stay in the future.
This is where she and her child will live in the future. Although we don’t know whether it is a boy or a girl now, he is connected by blood with her and will depend on each other in the future.
She will give him everything she can get, and no one can take it away.
An Ran didn't even know how cold her eyes were at this moment.
After receiving the letter from the Ding family that they were coming to welcome the bride, and facing her mother's tears, she compromised and got married.
Faced with a family alone and being ignored, she pretended not to care.
Her mother-in-law didn't like her, and the man didn't care about her. As soon as he left, her mother-in-law sent her to this strange place.
Well, from now on I don’t have to compromise or pretend anymore.
I still want to be the An Ran I was before, instead of being the eldest daughter of the Ding family who always pays attention to rules and etiquette.
After dinner in the evening, facing Old Dingtou's inquiry, An Ran said: "You two came here with me, and I'm afraid you understand in your heart that from now on I will be the one to care for you two until you die. So remember my words, I don't want to Let anyone in the Ding family know that I have a child."
Faced with An Ran's tough attitude, Lao Dingtou and his wife took a look and quickly promised not to say anything.

An Ran: If you want to survive, you must have a goal to live. Maybe this child who is connected by flesh and blood gives him a reason to live.
