"Itâs true."
Truer than gold.
Gu Lingling nodded without hesitation, very certain.
Anyway, as long as Yang Yunhai handled it, she fully believed he would do well.
Wang Xiaoqian was so excited she wanted to kneel again.
Suddenly, she bit herself.
"What..."
"Itâs true, itâs not a dream, itâs not a dream." She cried out.
She always thought she was dreaming, but didnât expect it was all real.
Thatâs wonderful.
"If it werenât for that person, weâd still be willing to live here." This small town is near the mountains, and every year she could go into the mountains to gather some herbs or mushrooms to sell in Lishui.
She also helped out a few families here, and could earn some money.
Besides, everyone here is familiar, and the folk customs are simple and honest.
If it werenât for Guo Chundan, their days here should have been very good.
The main reason is that her old mother didnât want to leave.
"If you need help, you can call me." Gu Lingling left Yang Yunhaiâs office number and the Capital Cityâs number with Wang Xiaoqian, and also explained everything well.
Yang Yunhai had to go back to report on his duties, staying here for one day was already the limit, and they still had to rush on their way later.
"Thank you so much." Wang Xiaoqian thanked again, "What will happen to Guo Chundan?"
Gu Lingling looked at Yang Yunhai.
"Heâs already been locked up in prison." Yang Yunhai replied.
"You wonât..." Gu Lingling asked cautiously.
Afraid that Wang Xiaoqian had any feelings for Guo Chundan.
"He deserves it." Wang Xiaoqian angrily scoffed, "People like him shouldâve been locked up long ago."
Unfortunately, no one cared before.
She had gone to the police station to report, but it was useless.
Going back would only get her beaten more severely by Guo Chundan.
"Girl, donât leave." As soon as she heard Gu Lingling was leaving, Old Mrs. Wang started fussing.
"Donât leave."
All kinds of ways to keep Gu Lingling from leaving.
"Mom, Lingling has things to do." Wang Xiaoqian embraced Mrs. Wang, saying, "Sheâll come see you when she has time."
"Donât go, donât go." Old Mrs. Wang said aggrievedly, "Girl is good."
"Yes, sheâs good." Wang Xiaoqian said, "But the girl also has very important things."
"Grandma, I promise you, after I finish being busy for a while, Iâll come to see you, okay?" Gu Lingling squatted down, holding Mrs. Wangâs hand, saying, "Iâll bring lots of delicious things for you."
"Grandma wonât eat, girl eats, Qianqian eats." Old Mrs. Wang said.
"Alright, Qianqian will eat." Wang Xiaoqian patted her back, taking out a small cloth doll from her pocket, "Mom, hold Xiaoqian to sleep, once you sleep it will all be good."
Every time Old Mrs. Wang wasnât behaving, Wang Xiaoqian would use this little cloth doll to coax her.
"This thing..." Gu Lingling pointed at the doll and asked, "Did Grandma Wang make it too?"
Why does it feel so much like the doll her grandmother made for her when she was little?
"No, I made it." Wang Xiaoqian replied, "There used to be one my mom made, but it got damaged later, and I made another one for her to resemble it."
Over time, the fabric became damaged.
"When I was little, I also had a doll very similar to this." Gu Lingling said with a smile.
"Really?" Wang Xiaoqian looked at the doll, saying, "This kind of doll is quite common in our town."
Anyway, now you see quite a few.
Gu Lingling nodded.
She must have been overthinking it.
