Su Aiguo stared at Su Nian’an for several seconds before finally speaking.
“Fine! I’ll tell them not to bother you anymore, and you stop making such a big deal out of this matter. Tomorrow morning, I’ll personally take you to the train station.”
After saying that, Su Aiguo didn’t even wait for Su Nian’an to respond. He simply turned around and left.
Su Nian’an let out a cold laugh before closing the door to the room she was temporarily staying in.
She had been back for so long, yet no one had even asked whether she had eaten.
Fortunately, Su Nian’an was smart. Before returning to the Su family, she had already gone to a state-run restaurant to have dinner. Otherwise, she would have gone hungry again.
Speaking of hunger, Su Nian’an couldn’t help taking out the two steamed buns she had made in the kitchen that morning.
She brought them close to her nose and sniffed.
Mm, they were still soft and smelled delicious.
She would save these two steamed buns as a late-night snack.
She didn’t know what was going on with this body. Perhaps she was still in her growing years, but she got hungry incredibly quickly.
She didn’t know how the Su family members had communicated among themselves behind closed doors, but at least everyone was unusually well-behaved that night. No one came looking for trouble with Su Nian’an again.
Early the next morning, Su Nian’an was woken up by Su Aiguo.
She wasn’t exactly a graceful sleeper, so her hair was inevitably a little messy.
She opened the door, ignoring the disdain in Su Aiguo’s eyes, and asked impatiently, “What time is the train? Do we really have to go this early?”
It wasn’t even completely light outside yet, and Su Nian’an was unbearably sleepy.
“The train leaves at eight. It’s already six. Hurry up and get ready. I’ll take you to the train station,” Su Aiguo said.
“Oh, okay. Then wait outside for me.”
With that, Su Nian’an shut the door with a loud bang.
Su Aiguo’s expression turned ugly after being rudely dismissed, but today was the day he would finally send her to the countryside, so he had no choice but to endure it.
The train wasn’t until eight, and it was only six now. Su Nian’an really couldn’t understand what Su Aiguo was in such a hurry about.
She leisurely changed into the new clothes she had bought yesterday.
She wore a white embroidered blouse on top, a pair of black suit trousers on the bottom, and little leather boots on her feet.
Although the outfit looked quite fashionable, it wasn’t overly eye-catching. It was just right for going to the countryside it even had that unmistakable educated-youth feel.
As for her hair, it was still a little messy.
Braided pigtails were fashionable in this era, so she decided to tie her hair into two braids.
She had to admit, the original owner’s hair was really long. It was practically made for braids.
The mirror in this room seemed to be of rather poor quality and everything looked blurry, but Su Nian’an knew that after her “careful” styling, she definitely looked beautiful.
“Su Nian’an, hurry up! We’re going to miss the train!” Su Aiguo had never left. He had been waiting outside her door the entire time.
Or rather, he had barely slept at all that night, afraid that Su Nian’an might run away. If there were no one left to marry into the Gu family, he wouldn’t know how to explain himself to them.
“Coming, coming! Why are you rushing me?” Su Nian’an replied impatiently.
In the past, Su Aiguo probably would have barged straight into the room and slapped Su Nian’an.
But at this critical moment, he could only suppress his temper and say, “Don’t keep the Gu family waiting.”
Upon hearing that, Su Nian’an couldn’t help rolling her eyes.
Keep them waiting?
The Su family home wasn’t far from the train station. Su Nian’an really couldn’t understand why they needed to arrive two whole hours early.
By the time Su Nian’an opened the door again, she had already finished getting ready.
Su Aiguo was stunned when he saw the Su Nian’an standing in front of him, looking as though she had become an entirely different person.
“You… how did you…” Su Aiguo didn’t know how to ask, but there was simply something strange about Su Nian’an.
With looks like these, perhaps she really could win over that boy from the Gu family.
Su Nian’an gave a cold snort before sarcastically saying, “I have to ask you I’ve been at the Su family home for so many days, yet you never once thought about getting me a new set of clothes. You let me walk around in those same patched-up clothes for days. I know you don’t care about me, but at the very least, shouldn’t you care about your own reputation? If the neighbors see that the Su family has a person living here who’s dressed in rags, do you really think that makes you look good?”
Using the issue of her clothes as a point of attack, Su Nian’an mocked Su Aiguo again.
She was simply standing up for the original owner. Honestly, biological parents like hers were even more detestable than the family who had raised the original owner.
Su Aiguo’s eyes shifted evasively after being rebuked by Su Nian’an.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t noticed her clothes. It was just that this sort of thing wasn’t his responsibility. Normally, Liu Cuilian was the one who handled the family’s clothing.
“Nian’an, I’m sorry,” Su Aiguo could only say.
He would be sending her to the countryside today, and afterward she would have nothing to do with the Su family anymore. There was no need to win a pointless argument with her.
To make sure Su Nian’an would “obediently” go to the countryside, Su Aiguo was truly capable of enduring a lot.
Perhaps because it was so early, Su Nianxi was still sleeping in.
Someone like Su Nianxi, a pampered young lady who had been spoiled into this state, was the one who really ought to be sent away for re-education, right?
Fortunately, it was only for six months. Hopefully, the male lead’s family would be capable enough to bring her countryside assignment to an early end.
Su Nian’an had grown up in the countryside, so she actually liked rural life quite a lot. It was just that farm work could be rather exhausting.
The countryside in the future world was peaceful and comfortable, but that might not necessarily be the case in this era.
Su Nian’an followed Su Aiguo onto a small motorized three-wheeled vehicle, and they headed directly to the train station. Su Aiguo stayed close beside her the entire way, as though he were afraid she might run away.
After arriving at the train station, Su Aiguo kept looking around. He was probably searching for the person who was supposed to accompany Su Nian’an to the countryside.
To be honest, if Su Aiguo had trusted Su Nian’an even a little, he wouldn’t have needed to send someone to escort her to the countryside.
Su Nian’an didn’t say a word from beginning to end.
If someone else was willing to worry about everything, why should she bother worrying?
After looking around for quite some time without seeing anyone, Su Aiguo’s expression gradually became more serious.
“See? I told you. There was no need to come so early,” Su Nian’an couldn’t help saying with a roll of her eyes.
But Su Aiguo didn’t think that way.
He had an ominous feeling.
The person who had agreed yesterday to escort Su Nian’an to the countryside to find the Gu family might have changed his mind.
They say that offering help when someone is in trouble is difficult.
When Su Aiguo had gone to look for the Gu family’s relatives yesterday, things had actually not gone smoothly.
Those people seemed extremely afraid of getting involved with the Gu family, so they had all refused Su Aiguo at first.
Only one young man, who was about the same age as Gu Qingyu, said that he was willing to escort his sister-in-law to the countryside to find Gu Qingyu.
However, it seemed that his family didn’t agree. The young man had simply insisted on going.
But now, judging from the situation…
Seeing how serious Su Aiguo looked, Su Nian’an couldn’t help making a few guesses of her own.
Given the Gu family’s current circumstances, probably no one was willing to associate with them anymore.
The novel had said so as well. After the Gu family fell into disgrace, everyone had kicked them while they were down. Even many of those who had spoken up for the Gu family had either been demoted or sent away for re-education in the countryside.
So among the people who remained, probably no one wanted to get involved with the Gu family.
“Is it possible that no one is willing to take me to find the Gu family anymore?” Su Nian’an asked.
Su Aiguo frowned tightly and glanced at Su Nian’an, feeling even more troubled.
He had given this daughter so much money. If no one was there to keep an eye on her, what if she took the money and ran away?
“If no one is taking me, I’ll just go by myself,” Su Nian’an said.
Upon hearing this, Su Aiguo couldn’t help taking another look at Su Nian’an.
