Chapter 75 He is our second uncle
"She taught you how to read and behave. Although I was young, I still remember some of what she taught you. But now, are you speaking human language?"
No one expected Bai Quanlu's outburst.
After all, he was only three or four years old when his mother died.
Only the eldest son Bai Quanfu knows more about his mother, and I'm afraid he also knows about the family affairs.
But why has he treated Old Man Bai like this all these years?
This is something that Bai Quanlu couldn't figure out, let alone understand.
Bai Quanshou also blushed at Yan Kuan, "Brother." He cried out in grief, and then tears fell like rain.
Bai Quanlu is not stupid. As soon as he saw his second brother's expression, he knew that his second brother must know something.
"Second brother, you remember it too, don't you?"
Seeing Bai Quanlu's rage, Bai Jing quickly stood up and said, "Uncle San, don't be impulsive. Listen to what my father and uncle have to say."
With Bai Jing's suppression, Bai Quanlu was pulled away.
Li Zhaodi was very worried about her man and immediately stepped forward to comfort him, "Don't worry, listen to what the eldest and second brothers have to say."
Wu Gongan invited everyone because he calculated their ages and thought that the eldest of the three children must be able to remember things.
Although it is difficult to investigate what happened back then, what the parties involved say is different.
"Stop arguing, Bai Quanfu. I heard that you are also a retired soldier. I think you still remember the military discipline." After learning about the Bai family's affairs, Wu Gongan was very displeased with his comrade in front of him.
After all, they fight for their lives on the battlefield just to give their families a better life.
And what about him?
He really didn't know what to say.
Bai Quanfu looked up at the person sitting behind the desk, then quickly looked away.
"He is not an enemy either. He is our second uncle."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
"He had no relationship with our mother, so it was only natural for him to marry. He raised us after our mother passed away, and we must never forget that kindness. If it weren't for my second uncle, the three of us brothers wouldn't have survived those days."
Bai Quanfu also burst into tears after he finished speaking.
At this point, everyone understood why he had always put the old man first in everything for so many years.
It is not easy to repay three life-saving favors.
"Then why did Mrs. Bai say that he was the one who killed my grandmother?" The calmer Bai Jing asked the question in a quiet atmosphere.
Bai Quanfu opened his eyes and looked at his eldest daughter.
He knew that his eldest daughter had changed, but he didn't know why she was so hateful.
But he also understood that his wife and children blamed him.
But he also wanted to repay the three favors while he was alive, so that he wouldn't feel indebted anymore.
He never killed his own mother.
"That's not true."
But as soon as he said this, everyone looked at him with suspicion.
He felt very uncomfortable because his closest people did not trust him.
"I'm not lying. He really didn't harm our parents. There was a war at the time, and our house was robbed by bandits. My father died in battle to protect our family.
It was my second uncle who had just returned from studying outside who took my mother and us to escape. At that time, my third child was still in my mother's belly, so he didn't know about the escape.
My second brother was also young, so he didn't know much. Mother was devastated by the death of her family, and my third brother was born prematurely on the road. By the time we fled to Baijia Village, Mother's health was failing. The village chief knew about this."
Bai Quanfu was afraid they wouldn't believe him, so he pointed at the village chief who was drinking tea and said, "Village chief, please say something."
The village chief also sighed.
"Your eldest brother is right. The four of you are refugees from other places. Unlike the villagers in other groups, you are all native villagers. The villagers are very wary of you. After all, these days, good and bad people are not written on their faces."
The village chief's participation made things clearer.
As he talked about the past, memories began to pop out of Uncle Bai's mind.
"When my father was still the village chief, I remember Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai coming to the village. After all, it was rare to have a family like theirs with all their children, so everyone was very curious."
"My father saw that they had families with them and posed no threat, so he agreed to let them live in the village. However, he didn't let them live in the main village. Instead, he sent them to the home of Mr. Wang at the time to serve as mountain guards."
There is no need to say more about this matter, you can find it out by just checking.
As the village chief spoke, things gradually became clear.
Bai Jing didn't expect that her biological grandfather became her second grandfather. Although they were not her biological grandfather, they were still related by blood. It was really a complicated matter.
Bai Jing no longer has a say in this matter. Let the older generation resolve their own affairs.
She doesn't care about many people, and if they don't meet her expectations, she will give up.
Bai Quanfu spoke when everyone was silent, "After so many years, the favor has been almost repaid. Second and third brothers, you don't have to be too restrained. Just choose the life you want."
After hearing this, Bai Quanshou and Bai Quanlu were shocked. They also understood why their eldest brother had been so patient with that family for so many years. It turned out that he was repaying a favor.
"Brother, I'm sorry." Bai Quanshou felt that he had misunderstood his brother for so many years and owed him an apology.
Although an apology wouldn't make up for anything, he still wanted to say it.
Bai Quanlu said the same thing, but after he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Bai Jing.
"Xiao Jing, Third Uncle knows that he has no right to interfere with your choice, but your father also has his own difficulties. Third Uncle wants to plead for Big Brother."
He knew how capable his niece Bai Jing was. If she wanted to abandon her elder brother, he would definitely be unable to do anything to her.
Big Brother has suffered for them for so many years, and they are enjoying the sweet fruits brought by Big Brother's soaking in the sea of suffering. No matter what, they cannot ignore Big Brother.
"Yes, Xiaojing, can you forgive your father?" Uncle Bai also looked at Bai Jing with hope.
Bai Jing opened her mouth but said nothing. She had no say in this matter.
"Let my mother make the decision." They were raised by their mother, and it was not her turn to make any decision.
Upon hearing this, the two uncles of the Bai family smiled. They knew in their hearts that the eldest sister-in-law must have been wronged in this matter, but the eldest sister-in-law was the most kind-hearted. If she were allowed to make the decision, she would definitely not ignore the eldest brother.
Bai Quanfu also knew the bad things he had done over the years. He never begged his wife to forgive him. He just wanted their lives not to be as miserable as his.
The story of Mrs. Bai came to an end, and because of these past events, the story of Old Man Bai was revealed.
But did he really not harm Bai Jing's grandmother?
No one knows this. Someone who knows the inside story said it, but who knows whether it is true or not?
On the way back to the village, Bai Jing always kept a certain distance from her biological father, and this distance made Bai Quanfu feel very uncomfortable.
