Transmigrated into the body of an extreme brother-supporting demon, I immediately severed ties with

"What do you mean? What do you mean you're telling me to leave? You just got back."

Wang Lan's dislike for Lin Yue'e was genuine, but she also truly loved her son. She always felt that Lin Yue'e, this country woman, was not good enough for her son. So even though Su Manli's claims were unsubstantiated, and even though Gu Jingyan personally admitted that Gu An was his biological son, she just couldn't bring herself to like Lin Yue'e.

"Let her go back on her own. You just got back; you should stay for at least a month before making any decisions. Besides, your school is on holiday for at least two months. If she wants to leave, let her go."

Wang Lan pulled Gu Jingyan along.

"What are you saying? Who's leaving?"

Gu Youqing was returning from playing chess with his neighbor when he heard this as he walked to the door.

Gu Jinmei knew something was wrong and immediately went back to her room. She knew her father would be furious if her mother and second sister-in-law heard what she had said.

"Dad, tomorrow, I...we're going back."

Gu Jingyan still said he was leaving.

"What? You just got back, how come you're leaving tomorrow already?"

Gu Youqing looked at his son's bewildered expression, then at his wife.

His face was grim, and he immediately knew it must be something that old woman had said again.

"Did you say something again?"

Having been together for so many years, Gu Youqing knew his wife's personality all too well. She just had a prejudice against their son marrying a woman from the countryside.

"My mom said An'an isn't my son, and she even overheard Yue'e talking about him. Dad, I'll try to bring Yue'e home less often in the future, so as not to upset my mom."

Gu Jingyan was also angry, but on one side was his mother, and on the other was his beloved wife. After saying that, he turned around and went back.

"What... what am I supposed to say to you? Whether the child is the younger brother's or not, does the younger brother not know? It's the first time they've come to our house, and you're acting like this, you... you're really going to drive me crazy."

Gu Youqing was shocked to hear that someone had overheard these words. He closed his eyes; now it was his turn to have a headache.

"What did I say wrong? Look at her appearance. In the countryside, how many girls who look like that don't get unwanted attention? Besides, given her family's character, who knows if their child will grow up to be like that? They might end up raising an ungrateful child."

"Shut up! Listen to what a grandmother should say. Go apologize to her. 'Country woman,' my parents were from the countryside too. You've only been in the city for a few days, and you already look down on country people."

"How can that be the same? I'm not going. Let her go if she wants. So many problems have arisen since our son married her. She even kept it from us before. And her family..."

Wang Lan got angry when she thought of Su Manli saying that her son hadn't eaten or dressed well in the countryside for the past two years, and that even though they had given him everything they were supposed to, Lin Yue'e had given it all to her family.

"Hmph, don't think you're only targeting your daughter-in-law. If you do this, your son might become estranged from you."

Gu Youqing pointed at her angrily, feeling that she was a complete idiot.

"How could that be? That's my son, the one I gave birth to. I refuse to believe he wouldn't recognize me."

Gu Youqing couldn't persuade Wang Lan; he had no way to deal with her.

Lin Yue'e, however, was already packing her things inside. She'd only been there a day, and she was already being told to go back because of people's disdain.

She had been thinking of getting along well with them before, since she had spent a lot of Gu family money in the past. Oh well, when she has money in the future, she'll send more things here, which can be considered as repaying the original owner's debt.

Gu Jingyan returned to the house and saw his wife packing her things. He went up to her and hugged her.

"sorry."

"What do you have to apologize for? I should have expected this outcome. After all, I was wrong before; I spent your money, so it's normal that she doesn't like me. Why don't I take the child back by myself? You rarely come back, and it wouldn't look good for you to leave so soon. Tomorrow, just buy me a ticket and see me off at the train station. I'm used to being alone anyway."

Lin Yue'e genuinely felt this way and had no intention of feigning pitifulness in front of Gu Jingyan.

But hearing these words only made Gu Jingyan feel more sorry for her. He had to go to school and could rarely come home. He originally wanted to apply to be a day student, but the school, knowing his situation, advised him to go home every weekend and try to stay at school during the week.

"I'll buy the tickets tomorrow, and we'll travel together. If you don't want to come back in the future, then you don't have to. I'll just come back to see Mom and Dad myself."

Gu Jingyan got married outside the family anyway, and his elder brother has already separated from the family. Let's just assume he has also separated from the family.

Anyway, there's still the third child in the family. The third child can stay at home to take care of the parents. They can contribute money or labor as long as they have the means.

But he soon thought of something else.

"Let's buy the tickets tomorrow, and then I'll take you to visit my older sister's house. My brother-in-law is in the military, and my sister is with him there. It's a bit far, so we'll take a bus there and come back in the afternoon. We'll take the train the day after tomorrow. Is that alright?"

"That's fine. But I hope your older sister won't be like... your mother, thinking I'm the one who ruined you. If she really hates me that much, I think I'd better not go. You can just take the kids."

"No, my older sister is a very nice person, she won't be like my mom. Don't worry."

Gu Jingyan's family filter is still too thick.

Gu Youqing spent a long time lecturing his wife:

"You're just going to let them go like this? If people find out tomorrow, I'd like to see who's embarrassed. People outside will just say that the Gu family is too high-class and looks down on rural wives. They've only been back for a day and we've already kicked them out. Who knows, our factory might even fire the whole family."

He talked for a long time, but seeing that Wang Lan was still unconvinced, he could only try to scare her in a roundabout way.

"What? This is a family matter, why should the factory fire us?"

When Wang Lan heard that it concerned her family's jobs, she immediately became anxious. They were all currently working in a textile factory; her eldest son and his wife were doing so, and she would soon be transferring her job to her younger son.

"When people start spreading rumors that our family looks down on rural wives and kicked them out, do you think that sounds good?"

Gu Youqing gave Wang Lan a push.

"Go apologize to him. How can you talk to someone like that? How would you feel if my mother had treated you like that back then?"

"I'm not going. Why should I? I'm the elder, and I even apologized to her. What I said wasn't wrong."

Wang Lan felt a little guilty, but she still stubbornly insisted on her words.

Gu Jinmei was currently in a room with her third brother, eavesdropping on her parents' conversation outside.

"Hey, Third Brother, do you think the child Second Sister-in-law gave birth to is actually our brother's?"
