Gu Fangting raised her brows smugly. “Of course. Don’t you know whose younger sister I am? With an intelligent and brave older sister like you, I certainly won’t be too far behind.”

Gu Qingyao laughed and said, “How do you know I’m brave?”

Gu Fangting paused and replied seriously, “Older Cousin, under our circumstances in the Poplar Brigade, you had incredible courage getting my mother to divorce my father and bring her back!

“Did you know my mother had long found it hard to continue living with that family, but she didn’t dare to take the risk? With the Gu family’s circumstances and the Li family’s shamelessness, she didn’t dare risk it. That’s why she remained with the Li family for so many years.”

“Do you know how happy I was when I first came back with you?”

Gu Qingyao’s heart ached as she looked at the child.

Actually, she didn’t really know this younger cousin of hers. In her previous life, the child had already died by the time her younger aunt had divorced.

Because of the turmoil between herself and Mo Beihan, she had not had the energy to pay attention to others. And she really had not interacted much with this younger cousin.

But in this life, everything had changed.

Gu Qingyao patted her little head. “It’s all in the past now. Don’t think about it anymore. In the future, you are part of the Gu family. Go on living bravely, and you’ll have a good life when you’ve grown up!”

Gu Fangting smiled. She had only started to find hope in life after she moved to the Gu house.

Gu Qingyao tugged at her. “Let’s go! It’s cold out here. We’ll wait at home. Your brother-in-law will certainly be here in a while.”

Of course, Mo Beihan arrived. He knew that his young wife was longing to know what laughable things the Sun family had done!

So he had paid close attention the moment they started to fight. When he figured out the situation, he immediately came back to the Gu house to report to his wife.

Gu Qingyao and Gu Fangting were reading in the study, with a brazier next to them. The room was warm and cozy.

Gu Fangting laughed the moment Mo Beihan entered. “I already said that Brother-in-law would certainly come, but I didn’t expect him to arrive so soon!”

Mo Beihan was amused. Compared to the older cousins who always looked at him with disdain, this girl’s attitude towards him was much more satisfactory. He was especially pleased when she called him “Brother-in-law”.

“What’s happening over at the Sun family? Is the oldest son having second thoughts about splitting?”

Gu Qingyao questioned him impatiently as she made space for Mo Beihan to sit by the brazier to warm himself.

Mo Beihan laughed. “He is indeed having second thoughts. It was the eldest son who suggested splitting up, and because he agreed to take on a heavier share of the burden, the split was swiftly completed. They’ve already divided up the food, the furniture and all the other utensils. But after Qin Yufeng went to visit her parents yesterday, early the next morning, she suddenly said that she doesn’t want to split anymore.

“As for the other two families, they’ve already gotten their share, so who would want to return it? Of course they disagreed, so… they started to fight!”

Gu Qingyao smiled. Her guesses were all correct.

Gu Fangting was shocked!

“Surely not! Weren’t they the ones who wanted to split? Why have they suddenly changed their minds just after one day?”

Mo Beihan smiled but remained silent.

Gu Fangting cocked her head on one side. “Perhaps when Sun Mei’s mother went back to her parents’ house, her family criticized her? That doesn’t seem likely! Sun Mei’s mother is smart. When it comes to something like splitting up a household, she certainly knows what she wants, no matter what her family says.”

Gu Qingyao smiled and said, “Of course, there must be a reason. The eldest son’s family previously insisted on a split, which clearly indicates that a split is advantageous to them. Now that they don’t want to split anymore, it must be because there’s nothing in it for them.”
