Chapter 443: Chapter 443: She Never Fails to Get What She Wants (4)

This was clearly abnormal. He knew that well, being a doctor himself.

Memories of kindergarten may be hazy due to young age, yet there are still some vague remnants of impressions left in an adult’s mind, because a child of that age already possesses the ability to remember.

At the very least, one would remember the thing they hated most about kindergarten.

"Mom, what did I hate doing in kindergarten?"

Ou Chunhua said, "When you were in kindergarten, you hated eating fatty pork the most. And then, every weekend, you’d fuss about wanting to rush home. Come to think of it, all the kids were the same, hating fatty pork, disliking kindergarten, preferring to play at home."

Ou Yanan simply couldn’t recall any experience of hating to eat fatty pork. He seemed to have never disliked fatty pork.

At this point, a sudden silence fell between mother and son.

Ou Chunhua felt her heart under an unprecedented test. She could feel it, she clearly sensed that the person opposite her was doubting every word she said.

This feeling was too terrifying.

What exactly had caused him to start doubting his own mother?

There had always been no such thing happening. Could it be because of that woman’s influence?

Gu Nuan!

A persistent haunting presence. She had thought that Su Yixia would handle this matter well, but it had almost implicated her in the end.

What to do now?

"Yanan, go on with your work. Mom has some things to take care of too." With that, Ou Chunhua hung up the phone.

Ou Yanan frowned, this unusual behavior of Ou Chunhua’s had happened more than once or twice.

Leading the way, a group of children brought Gu Nuan to the top of a small hill. It was just a mound of yellow earth, but high enough to overlook the relatively low-lying terrain around. This coastal area, after all, was relatively flat. Stretching her gaze, she could see the sea in front, the village behind, and the faint outlines of distant landscapes on both sides, such as the resort and the hotel that Grandma Zhou had mentioned.

The children pointed toward the resort and told Gu Nuan, "We wanted to go, but there’s an entrance fee, very expensive, we can’t get in. Our grandpa said that in the past, people could go there and play freely."

The essence of enclosures was to fence off land for personal ownership, making it necessary to pay to set foot on that land again. Houses represent one stark example of land possession. Although land is public, houses are private property.

The villagers, not understanding the essence of the law and economics, could only curse and fail to understand why places that were freely accessible in the past now cost money to enter once fenced off.

"My mom said that if we sold our land, we’d be rich like them. We could drive BMWs, even fly planes," the child said.

And so the children began to argue like adults.

"My grandpa says we can’t sell, if we sell, we’ll have no rice to eat in the future."

"How’s that possible? With money, you can buy anything! A bit of rice, just a few bucks."

"No, my granddad says we can’t sell. If we sell, then we will have nothing left to sell and no money!"

"But if we don’t sell, does that mean we’ll never get to ride in a BMW or fly a plane our whole lives?"

As the children argued, they suddenly realized that the woman beside them was motionless, as if she hadn’t heard a word they were saying.

Gu Nuan hadn’t heard what they were saying; all she felt was the sea breeze blowing from afar, wrapping around her ears, humming with a buzzing sound.

Tang Sili had said her ears might go completely deaf at any moment.

"Auntie, your phone is ringing—"
