"Stop it, all of you. What do you want to do?"
Mrs. Bai rushed out from the crowd, rushed to Lan Tian, and took the child from her hands.
"This is my granddaughter, what do you want to do!"
"Granddaughter? What granddaughter? Are you senile? Our daughter died a long time ago!"
Mr. Bai excitedly pointed at the baby in the cradle, his voice trembling and his eyes full of disbelief and pain.
He walked towards the baby angrily, staggering as if he had lost his balance.
When he walked in front of the baby, he stopped and stared at her young face with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"This... this child looks so much like Ruozhu when he was born."
Mr. Bai trembled and muttered to himself. When he saw the child, he became even more furious. He could not forgive his daughter for running away from home, and he could not accept the fact that his daughter had a child out of wedlock!
Over the years, he has been extremely embarrassed because of Bai Ruozhu's incident.
Now that his daughter even has a child, how will he face people in the future?
He turned angrily and looked at the people behind him, however, everyone was silent, with expressions of confusion and surprise on their faces.
Mr. Bai felt dizzy, he swayed and almost fell to the ground.
His mind was in a mess and he couldn't accept what was happening.
This sudden arrival of his granddaughter plunged him into deep confusion and pain, and he didn't know how to face this reality.
Mrs. Bai held the child in her arms, shaking and comforting him constantly, fearing that the child would be woken up by the excited adults.
She looked at the blue sky in confusion.
"Why are you so stubborn? These are all trivial matters. Just take the things and keep them. Why return them?"
Lan Tian humbly turned toward Madam Bai and bowed deeply to her. "Thank you very much for saving my wife and children. If it weren't for your help, I would never see them again."
Mrs. Bai hugged Lan Xiaolan and smiled kindly: "What are you thanking me for? I saved my own daughter and granddaughter. We are family after all. Why should I thank you?"
"Are you really getting senile? Family? What family? Who is a family with a wild man and a bastard like this?"
As he said this, Mr. Bai snatched the stick from the servant beside him and was about to hit this side.
Lan Tian quickly put Madam Bai and Lan Xiaolan behind him and blocked Mr. Bai's swing with his bare hands.
Mr. Bai was trembling and trying his best to press the stick, but the stick did not move at all in mid-air. As an old man, he seemed to be overestimating himself when competing with Lan Tian in strength.
"Master! You are truly old and confused. What do you want to do? This is Ruozhu's child, our granddaughter. Do you want to kill our granddaughter?"
At this time, Lan Xiaolan, who was held in everyone's arms, was frightened by everyone and cried loudly. No matter how Mrs. Bai tried to comfort her, she couldn't stop her loud crying.
Seeing this, Lan Tian took the child in one hand. The child snuggled under his father's strong body, smelled his father's familiar scent, and soon showed an angelic smile.
"You guys, hurry up and kick this wild husband and bastard out of my house! My daughter is dead, and I don't have any granddaughters. Get out of here!"
"If you dare to go against me like my daughter did, then you might as well go with this man. I've already lost a daughter, so I don't mind losing another wife!"
"I can't get close to such relatives, and I can't afford to lose face with such people."
Mr. Bai was so angry that he was shaking all over and his face turned red, as if he was about to spit fire.
His eyes widened with sparks of anger, his lips were tightly pressed into a line, and his teeth were chattering.
His chest heaved violently, and he seemed unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
Seeing this, Mrs. Bai shook her head helplessly and looked at the blue sky.
She knew that the master of their family valued the family's reputation and morality more than his own life. He was strong-willed all his life and his temper was probably even more stubborn than Lan Tian.
If she didn't want to be kicked out of the house by Mr. Bai, she'd better put herself in the right place.
At least her daughter has been saved and her granddaughter is safe. She stays in the Bai family, so as long as there is a green mountain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
"You'd better leave quickly. Our master's temper is even more stubborn than yours. Go quickly and don't scare the child."
Lan Tian finally left the house under the "escort" of a group of young servants holding tools.
When she got home, Bai Ruozhu had just woken up and the old maid was feeding her water.
Seeing Lan Tian coming back exhausted with the child in his arms, looking frustrated and helpless, Bai Ruozhu knew that her bad-tempered and stubborn father must have given him a hard time.
"Dad, are you feeling bad again? Are you and the child hurt?"
"It's okay, they can't beat me."
He gently placed Lan Xiaolan in Bai Ruozhu's hands. The child looked at his parents, shook his little hands, and laughed.
Bai Ruozhu touched Lantian's face. His man looked particularly handsome when he tidied himself up like this.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you."
"Don't say that. It's because I'm not good enough that your father is angry. Ultimately, I don't deserve it." Lan Tian lowered his head, his voice filled with sadness and helplessness. His eyes were dim, as if he had lost all hope.
He stood there silently, his body trembling slightly, his heart filled with self-blame and regret.
A bitter smile appeared on Lan Tian's face, and he shook his head gently, as if trying to get rid of this heavy emotion.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He fought back the tears that kept welling up in his eyes, trying not to let them stay.
"Don't say that. To me, you are the best husband in the world. To our children, you are the best father."
Bai Ruozhu's face was pale, and her lips were so white that they had lost their blood color, but she still raised the corners of her mouth, smiled at the blue sky, and comforted him.
"You are the only support for me and my child. You must cheer up, okay?"
Lan Tian kissed Bai Ruozhu and nodded firmly.
He knew that no matter what, he had to face reality and accept this cruel fact. Although he was unwilling, he understood that some things could not be changed.
From then on, Lan Tian started to take on various projects. He needed to work hard to make money to treat Bai Ruozhu's illness and to provide the best material life for his wife and children.
He works on the construction site 365 days a year, except for taking time to spend with his wife and children.
During his busiest time, he took on projects for more than ten houses at once and led dozens of apprentices to work together.
When I was tired, I would just lie down on the dusty floor of the construction site to rest, and when I woke up, I would continue to work overtime.
In addition to work, he also kept looking for doctors and prescriptions to treat Bai Ruozhu. Although the doctor determined that she only had three years to live, he would never bow to fate.
He was willing to pay any price as long as it could allow his wife to live one more day.
