Tian Shi turned to look at Yan Shi and Zhou Shi again, "How are you two sister-in-laws planning?"

As for Lian Shi, to avoid having her good intentions mistaken for a donkey’s liver and lungs, it was better to leave her be.

"I’m also planning to take An Ning back to Taohua Village to hide for a while." An Ning’s biological father was an outsider who settled in Taohua Village after marrying Yan Shi, so Yan Shi and An Ning also had a house there.

Originally, they had quite a bit of land, and when An Bingfeng left, he gave the mother and daughter enough money to live worry-free for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, she couldn’t keep it safe for her child, as it was all taken by that rotten gambler father, ultimately forcing her to remarry to provide for her child.

Zhou Shi was still a bit hesitant, "I... I’m worried about Dani."

Gao Dani was Zhou Shi’s daughter, only three years old, so she hadn’t been taken away with them. Now, knowing the Gao Family was in trouble, the boys were fine even if they got a beating; at least they’d be physically safe. But Dani was only three years old, and as a mother, she couldn’t let go, fearing her daughter would be scared.

Seeing these women hesitating, afraid that those people would come back, even An Dafu urged them to hurry.

Helplessly, being good to the end, An Dafu could only say, "It’s not safe for you to go back either. How about this, I’ll go check it out, find an opportunity to bring your kids out, and you can first go hide for a few days."

Zhou Shi immediately beamed with joy, "Really? Then many thanks to Brother Erlai."

In the past, Erlaizi was disliked by everyone, but now, after this incident, a few people started to see him differently, feeling that Erlaizi wasn’t so bad after all.

With Zhou Shi’s problem solved, it was now Yan Shi who couldn’t let it go, looking at An Dafu with pleading eyes, Yan Shi spoke, "Brother Erlai... could you also do me a favor and bring Xiaoniu out too?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Xiaoniu was only one year old, and with no one to watch over him, it was even more worrisome.

"Okay, okay, okay, you go hide first, I’ll head back now."

An Dafu impatiently waved his hand, dragging his injured body and running towards the village.

There’s no way around it, this little injury, just endure it for the daughter’s sake!

Watching An Dafu’s limping gait, An Ning felt very distressed, but there was nothing she could do.

After An Dafu left, An Ning and the others hid behind the pile of firewood. Lian Shi, who spoke of great righteousness, had actually taken her two daughters back to her parents’ home long ago without any regard, running faster than anyone, fearing that those people might come after them if they didn’t get the land deed from the Gao Family.

The waiting time was always long, and after a long, long wait, An Dafu finally came out holding the two little kids.

Zhou Shi and Yan Shi, both mothers, couldn’t help but run over to receive their children as soon as they saw them.

Xiaoniu, still in a daze, didn’t understand what was happening, only knowing that he was very happy to see his mother, bouncing around excitedly, his little hands waving about.

Gao Dani was different. Already a girl and three years old, she knew some good from bad. She was frightened into tears, unable to be consoled even when held in Zhou Shi’s arms.

"Truly, many thanks to Brother Erlai..." Yan Shi and Zhou Shi both spoke up, while Tian Shi, as the eldest sister-in-law, displayed the demeanor of an elder and didn’t run off like Lian Shi, instead staying with them waiting all the while.

An Dafu looked at them and said, "You don’t need to thank me, I’m not a good person, honestly, I really hadn’t planned on getting involved in your family’s matters." Saying this, An Dafu glanced at An Ning, "I did it because I have a good impression of this girl, and seeing her anxious and upset, rushing in to save you, I couldn’t stand it and lent a hand. If you want to thank someone, thank her."
