Every child has heard the story of the farmer and the snake since childhood, but it is truly rare to see one in reality.

While people condemn the bizarre couple, they can't help but mutter that the two of them are really stupid for being willing to save even such people!

When keyboard warriors act recklessly, they enter a negative state where they passively lose their ability to think. In this state, they don't consider that before that, all they saw was the child in danger, and they knew nothing else.

Just close your eyes and curse as loudly as you can, that's all!

Lu Nanting used to prioritize his own needs and rarely considered whether his actions would have a negative impact on others.

In his view, he had paid his salary, and that was what he deserved.

After being told off by Gu Lanxi a few times, he started to think twice before doing anything.

Before he made up his mind to take revenge on the couple, he carefully considered what the point would be besides feeling good in his heart.
The answer is obvious.

They did the good deed on a whim and didn't intend to become famous for it, but the couple was so infuriating that they not only didn't say thank you, but also cursed and insulted them mercilessly.

If that's the case, then it's not unreasonable at all to step on them to gain a reputation for doing good deeds anonymously.

As for how badly they would be cyberbullied, that was beyond Lu Nanting's consideration.

The fact that he didn't expose the child, whose character was hardly good, was the last act of mercy this soon-to-be father showed.

This matter was already a hot social topic that had been attracting a lot of attention recently, and with the added popularity of the Lanting couple, it instantly became a trending topic!

The couple had a good plan, and they even shamelessly wanted to ride on the coattails of each other's popularity to rise to fame. However, their live stream was reported and banned by fans from three different groups just five minutes into the stream.

They were also very tenacious, and soon created a new account to continue streaming.

After repeated reports and several bans, major official media outlets also stepped in to condemn this behavior, and the platform simply banned the two individuals completely.

When the announcement was released, everyone felt incredibly relieved!

I watched him build a tall building, and watched his building collapse.

Ordinary people have no experience dealing with this kind of thing, so they are beyond help in the end.

Compared to the two oddballs' miserable situation, the Lanting couple have been living quite comfortably these past few days.

When you meet with relatives and friends, you eat, drink, and have fun, and you even receive lots of gifts afterwards. How could you not be happy?
This day was the Qingming Festival. According to tradition, Gu Lanxi was pregnant and could not go up the mountain to sweep the tombs. She only needed to burn incense in front of the ancestral tablets of the elders in the ancestral hall.

As for her grandparents, that's fine; they've long since severed ties. Besides, her scumbag father is still alive, and that mistress has had two children. If they really cared, the old couple wouldn't lack descendants. In previous years, she never offered sacrifices to those two, and no one ever said anything to her face.

Her mother only had her as her child and had no contact with her maternal family. She was buried alone on the old Gu family cemetery. It would be unreasonable not to visit her once a year during the Qingming Festival.

As Gu Lanxi's son-in-law, it is perfectly reasonable for him to take on her responsibilities appropriately when Gu Lanxi is unavailable.

That morning, the couple packed their things early and came to the Gu family's place. Lu Nanting followed a group of elders to the mountain to sweep the tombs. He was in high spirits and took a lot of photos to show her.

Gu Lanxi, meanwhile, was busy at home with the others.

Many clansmen returned home for the Qingming Festival, and there were many family gatherings, requiring the preparation of numerous seasonal delicacies.

The Gu family has been living in the south for over 700 years, but some of their traditions have not been lost.

For example, during the Qingming Festival, other families usually only make Ai Ci (a type of glutinous rice cake), but the Gu family also makes Qing Tuan (another type of glutinous rice cake).

Many people don't understand the difference between the two, but Gu Lanxi has a general idea.

Although both use mugwort, mugwort cakes are usually made with the fragrant old leaves, while green rice dumplings are made with the juice extracted from the tender leaves.

Ai Ci (艾糳) requires the addition of glutinous rice flour, and raw and cooked flour are mixed together during kneading, while Qing Tuan (青团) uses pure glutinous rice flour.

The fillings inside are also different. Qingtuan likes to use red bean paste, lotus seed paste, salted egg yolk, and pork floss, while Aici prefers peanut and sesame candy, preserved radish, bamboo shoot and salted pork.

Gu Lanxi disliked the strong flavor of the mugwort cakes and preferred the soft and sweet green rice dumplings. However, the mugwort was not as tender this season, so the finished product was not her favorite.

So she spent half a day working alongside a group of elders, just because she thought it was fun.

The whole family gets together, working and chatting at the same time, and that makes them very happy.

When the people returned from the mountain sacrifice, the great-grandfather distributed the pork, and Gu Lanxi and her husband also received a palm-sized piece. The great-grandfather doted on her and specially gave her a piece of pork neck, and said some eloquent words such as "to make a name for yourself," clearly placing high hopes on her.

That evening, Lu Nanting sliced ​​the meat thinly, heated oil in a pan, added buckwheat greens, and stir-fried them over high heat. Gu Lanxi ate two bowls of rice and was so full that she had to drag him out for a walk.

It wasn't too late yet, and there were quite a few pedestrians on the street. The two quickly merged into the flow of people.

"You seem to be in a good mood today."

Once they reached a less crowded area, Lu Nanting started talking.

Gu Lanxi had already told him about her childhood, and she wasn't afraid of him laughing at her, so she frankly shared her thoughts.

"I feel happy just thinking that the people I hate can't benefit from me at all, and can only watch me be nice to others."

People always need some spiritual sustenance. Superstition, to put it bluntly, is just a branch of Eastern psychology.
Lu Nanting didn't offer any words of comfort, but simply took her hand and slowly walked forward.

"My niece opened a yarn shop up ahead, but I've never been there and don't know if the business is doing well."

Having probably read too many project proposals lately, Gu Lanxi suddenly remembered this place when she arrived here, and out of curiosity, she decided to take a look.

Does she work at night?

"Should I?"

"A shop that specializes in selling yarn?"

"And teach us weaving?"

Gu Lanxi had never been there, so she could only guess.

"She's been very introverted since she was little, but she's incredibly skillful with her hands. She even crocheted a small pendant for me before, about this size..."

As they arrived at the store, the young couple were still at the door. Before they could go in, they saw several women sitting inside, knitting and gossiping.

Gu Lanxi tugged at his sleeve, urging him to quickly slip away!

This is a classic example of how plans can't keep up with changes.

The two had just reached the door, but since there were people inside, they couldn't go in, so they had to take another route and continue their stroll.

Before her niece opened the shop, she asked her opinion. At the time, she was not optimistic, thinking that relying solely on handmade items would limit the shop's profits. She believed that to grow the business, the niece should open a franchise or an online training course.

But her niece got 100,000 yuan from her with just one sentence.

She said, "Handmade products have a warmth that machine-made products can never replace. I still remember the pattern on the sweater my mother knitted for me when I was three years old."

Gu Lanxi asked curiously, "Has your mother ever knitted you a sweater?"

Lu Nanting shook his head: "No, my mother is very busy every day and doesn't like doing handicrafts."

Besides her three sons, she also has to worry about work and family, so she really has no time.

"How about I knit you a sweater as a birthday present this year?"

Lu Nanting looked at her in surprise: "Really?"

"Really! I'll learn it when I have some free time!"

It's April now, and summer will be here soon. Lu Nanting's birthday is still more than three months away, so there's plenty of time.

Lu Nanting couldn't help but cover his face.

"You told me what the gift was in early April, I received it in July, and I won't be able to wear it until at least October! You really are something else!"

If it were anything else, and you knew what it was, the mystery would be gone. But even if you told him what this thing was, he still couldn't imagine what the finished product would look like.

"So what? Go wear it in the Southern Hemisphere."

President Gu, with his domineering presence, immediately offered a solution. (End of Chapter)
