His grandfather, on his last breath, said to him, "You're a good boy! I'm dying, and you're all I have left. Promise me you'll live well! Didn't your sister want you to go with her? Go with them!"

Tie Dan sobbed uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face. He had long been mentally prepared, knowing that his grandfather would leave him one day, but when it actually happened, he was still very sad!

He didn't want his grandfather to leave; he had already lost his mother and didn't want to lose his last relative!

If they all leave, he will be a helpless and unwanted orphan!

He desperately hoped that his master could live on, thinking that if he didn't agree, would his master not leave?

But it still didn't work!

His grandfather's eyes widened, and seeing that he wouldn't agree, he said with difficulty, "Do you want me to die with my eyes open in disgrace?"

Tie Dan cried even harder. He was afraid of separation, but in the end, they were still separated!

The rest of the family members went far away, and I don't know if I'll ever see them again. They're all gone!

Seeing that his grandfather's eyes were strange and about to close, but the disappointment in them stung his eyes, he cried out, "Grandpa! I promise you! I will live on! Please don't leave me! If you leave too, I'll have no one to love me! Don't go!"

His grandfather heard the answer he wanted and was satisfied. He wanted to reach out and touch his grandson one last time, but he was too weak to lift his hand and could no longer speak coherently.

"Come with your sister, let's go, live well, and go down!"

After speaking, he tilted his head to the side, slowly closed his eyes, and looked very peaceful.

He knew his grandson had agreed to his request and would definitely do it. This was all he could do for his grandson; from now on, whatever the future held, it would be up to his grandson to do.

Tie Dan cried his heart out, but seeing his grandfather leave so peacefully, he gradually calmed down. Perhaps this was a relief for his grandfather!

Since his grandfather wants him to follow his sister, then he will go!

After their family fled the famine, the three of them were bored and talked about what would happen in the future. Since they all guessed what would happen to them, they had nothing to hide.

If they have passed away, there's no need to worry about burial. When people die, everything is over. Being able to spend their final moments in their own homes with their families is enough; there's nothing to regret.

Moreover, early in the morning, his grandfather suddenly said to him, "If I leave before you, don't pack anything. Just let me be where I was born and where I leave! I've been lying here for so many years, I'm used to it, I wouldn't be used to it if it were changed! You can go do whatever you need to do! Do you understand? Remember that? Your mother thinks the same way, you can ask your mother if you don't believe me!"

When his mother heard her being talked about, she went over and nodded to Tiedan.

At that time, Tie Dan thought it was just like before, that they were bored and chatting about things that would happen in the future. This often happened before, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

Unexpectedly, these became his last words!

In the end, Tie Dan respected their choice, put his mother down, moved her to the bed, tidied her up, and made sure she left in a presentable manner.

Despite my deep reluctance, I still have to leave.

The important thing is that if he doesn't leave now, he might not be able to catch up with the crowd!

Perhaps it was a belief supporting him that caused his potential to explode. With all his might, he sprinted away.

Su Nanxi and his group couldn't walk very fast. Not only were there many of them, but there were also elderly and young people among them, so they were still overtaken by Tie Dan.

After listening, Su Nanxi fell into deep thought.

She felt things might not be so simple. She guessed it was Tie Dan's doing, just trying to save his grandson's life. He was old and didn't have many years left, but his grandson was still young and hadn't had a chance to see much of the world. He didn't want to be a burden on his grandson, so…

Of course, it was all just Su Nanxi's own speculation. The person was gone, so there was no way to verify it, and there was no need to.

Now that Tie Dan has come out, let's go with them.

You still have to take responsibility for what you said casually at the time.

It's really unkind of you to kick a little kid out of everything.

Tie Dan was a sensible boy. Before Su Nanxi could say anything, he made a promise, "I'll go with you, sister, please take me in! I'll work hard, I won't be lazy or do anything bad, and I'll never hurt you!"

Su Nanxi clicked her tongue. She's not stupid after all; she knows this trick!

"I asked you to come with me, so of course I won't kick you out. But let me make this clear beforehand: the Mo family doesn't support lazy people, nor does it support ungrateful wretches. We don't support disloyal or unfilial people! Do you understand?"

Tie Dan nodded solemnly, "Yes! I understand! If there's anything you need me to do in the future, I will never shirk my responsibilities! I will never betray you! I'm a farmer's son, I can do any kind of farm work or heavy work, just ask me to do it!"

Su Nanxi's lips twitched. She didn't need servants, so why should she be forced to do this?

It's good that he's grateful and sensible. He'll be kept busy as long as he has something to do.

Su Nanxi pointed to Xiao Wu and Xiao Han, and said to Tie Dan, "You should learn more from them in the future. If you don't understand something, ask them. They are not servants of the Mo family, and neither are you. Just do what you are supposed to do, and don't worry about anything else!"

Tie Dan glanced at Xiao Wu and Xiao Han, then nodded in agreement, "Okay! I understand!"

He felt a little scared, though, because he sensed a different kind of pressure emanating from Xiao Wu and the others.

They are not ordinary people. No, these people are simple!

He's made the right choice in following someone. He wants to follow someone stronger than him, someone more capable and better, so that he can have more learning opportunities and grow quickly by staying in such a circle for a long time.

So Tiedan was very happy and stayed, full of anticipation.

Su Nanxi took in people, and no one else had any objections. Since they didn't have to support them, they couldn't say anything.

A large group of people still wanted to rely on the Mo family, so even if the Mo family took in ten or eight of them, they wouldn't dare to say a word.

Su Nanxi wanted to call him Tiedan, but suddenly felt that the name Tiedan sounded too awful, so she asked Tiedan if he wanted to change his name.

Tie Dan had no objections. His name was chosen randomly, supposedly for ease of raising, and his father didn't know why he chose that name.

Actually, he didn't like it either, because the village children always called his name with a mocking tone, which made him feel very embarrassed.

He did consider changing his name, but everyone was used to calling him that, and he knew they wouldn't want to change it, so he gave up on the idea.

If we can change our name now and start over, then there's nothing wrong with that!

Su Nanxi was not good at naming things, so she turned her attention to Mo Qinghe.

Mo Qinghe casually said, "Isn't Xiao Wu the youngest? Then let's just call him Xiao Liu!"

Su Nanxi rolled her eyes at him. Was that a name? Was it a code name?

This person definitely didn't even think about it!

Mo Qinghe raised an eyebrow, he really hadn't expected this!

"It's okay! Xiao Liu sounds nice, let's go with Xiao Liu!"
