Chapter 1627: Chapter 1069: Heroine of the Republic 43

Now that An Yi has settled down, her reputation in the village has worsened due to the conflicts with the Yi family.

The Yi family claims that she got the house using the veteran family’s title of theirs. They insist the house belongs to them, claiming they owe her nothing, even though she just paid for a few days’ stay at the guesthouse. They wonder, does she expect that to be enough?

They wanted to recognize her as an adoptive daughter because they thought highly of her. They let it go that she didn’t appreciate their offer, but then she had the nerve to drive them away? What kind of person is she, not recognizing such a good intention.

See, they still believe An Yi owes them, and they think everything they demand is their due right.

They initially thought that with the relationship through Yi Dacheng, the two families could come closer by adopting her, merging the families for a brighter future. Wouldn’t that be great?

Unexpectedly, she not only refused but also made a scene, proving that deep down she was selfish.

Hearing the rumors once or twice might be bearable, but when they became frequent, the affable An Yi no longer wanted to face them. Since the land around the house was already prepared, with occasional visits to fertilize and water, she decisively moved with her children to the county.

Because of this, she negotiated with three schools to reschedule classes, moving her village school class to the afternoon. In this manner, she could attend middle school in the morning and ride a bike directly to the village school after lunch in the afternoon.

There was also open space in the yard in the county, and she could plant loofah, winter melon, and pumpkins next to the wall. By the time she arrived, the two sisters had already planted them. In the yard, there were tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and chilies. Although the area wasn’t large, it was enough for them to eat throughout the summer, and for the things that couldn’t be marinated for winter, they would buy some later when needed.

The village committee was naturally aware of the rumors and scolded them more than once, even issuing a warning with an official document, but it was to no avail. In front of the main characters, An Yi, with her mysterious origins, seemed dubious no matter how one looked at it.

Though it was frustrating, it was still better than being targeted by the Yi family. Once they got involved, it couldn’t be solved with just a house.

No matter how much she earned, she would have to give up more than half to subsidize them. She had experienced such days before and preferred to endure gossip rather than engage in such troubles.

Now that her schedule had been rearranged, her visits to the village became less frequent. Every day became a routine of raising children, teaching, commuting back and forth, and then entering the space at night for exercise, milking, and gathering eggs. How wonderful her life was!

Now, the space produces a lot of milk, pig milk, and various egg types. But pig milk is generally not consumed since its nutritional composition is inferior to human milk, cow milk, sheep milk, or even the camel milk that would be popular in the future. She was quite dismissive of it, as pigs have always been a symbol of stupidity, who would want to drink its milk?

However, when it was time to milk the pigs, she would help to make some cheese and give it to the children to eat, as it was still a nutritious food, wasn’t it?

Moreover, since moving to the county, it had become easier for her to do small businesses in the afternoon after class. While the state hadn’t yet clearly defined speculation, and there were no restrictions on food stamps or other tickets, she could earn more money and save more starting capital, which was much more convenient than dealing with the Yi family.

During the day, the two children played in the space. She told the sisters that they were attending daycare, as they left after lunch and wouldn’t be questioned deeply. When the weekend came, she naturally let the children out.

On a day in late May, it was already eight or nine o’clock when she returned home after selling eggs. At half-past nine, when the two sisters hadn’t returned, she felt something was wrong.

They had already canceled the school dormitory, so they would definitely come home to sleep. It was unusual for them not to return this late. Rarely did the teacher keep classes in the evening, so she instinctively put the two sisters back into the space, grabbed the bike keys, and was about to ride out to look for them, until she opened the door and saw two liberation army soldiers escorting Anna and Angel back.

One soldier was pushing a bike carrying Anna, while the other carried Angel on his back. Both appeared somewhat disheveled. Upon seeing An Yi, their noses twitched, and their eyes reddened for some reason.

"Sis...," the grievance and discomfort in their voices made An Yi’s heart tighten: "What’s wrong?"

"They encountered hooligans on their way home from school and fell off their bikes. Fortunately, only superficial injuries were sustained, no bones were hurt. Do you have any medicine at home? If not, should we go to the hospital for some bandaging?"
