Chapter 1008: Making Up (August Monthly Ticket Plus 4)
Bai Erlang knew he couldn't win the argument, so he sat down on the doorstep and said, "No, I still have my capital among these two hundred taels. If you want money, just step over me."
When Bai Shan and Man Bao made a move to cross, Bai Erlang screamed and waved his arms, "Immortal to all evil, may the gods protect me..."
Manbao and Baishan made a "tsk" sound, then left with the silver.
They took the silver back to their own rooms and put it away, leaving Yin Huo looking at Bai Erlang with curiosity.
Bai Erlang breathed a sigh of relief after finally sending the two away. He met Yin Huo's gaze and said, "Yin Huo, you'd better be careful from now on. My senior sister and brother are very smart. I've never seen them suffer any loss since we were young. Even if they treat you well now, they will definitely take revenge on you in the future."
Seeing him grumbling like when he was a child complaining to his grandmother about how his sisters could eat cakes but he couldn't, Yin Huo asked with a smile, "Like this time when you were wronged, should I stand up for you and then make amends with you later?"
Bai Erlang choked up, looked up at Yin Huo and said, "You weren't like this before. You didn't talk much before. Can't you just keep quiet now?"
Changshou secretly glared at Bai Erlang when he heard this, but Yin Huo smiled indifferently and also sat on the doorstep in a daze, imitating Bai Erlang's appearance.
In fact, his sisters stood up for him in the beginning simply because he was being bullied outside.
He rarely goes out, basically only when there are banquets or the New Year, or when he greets guests at home.
He said he was there to greet guests, but in reality he was just sitting and chatting with them. However, other children his age did not like to talk to him, preferring to run around and play in the garden.
Of course he couldn't run away, the most he could do was stand aside and watch. He really liked watching them play, but they didn't like him following them, so they always drove him away with bad words.
He didn't want to leave, feeling wronged. He didn't really want to cry, but his eyes were sore and he couldn't hold back his tears. Then they would push him, push him to the ground and make fun of him, saying that they didn't want to play with him at all...
At that time, his elder sister and second sister always protected him like their own child. Although they were two girls, they dared to roll up their sleeves and fight with a group of boys.
Although they didn't like to bring him along to play, he was still very happy every time they helped him out.
But no one knows when it started to change. It seems to be after they got married, or it may be three years ago when his family decided to change his medicine.
All the young men in the capital knew that he was weak and would avoid him, but would still greet him when they saw him from afar. However, it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to control his emotions, and his sisters would not listen to his explanations like they did when he was a child. Anyone who had contact with him would go to his house if they felt he had been wronged.
Then, no one even talked to him, and he didn't want to talk to anyone anymore.
He didn't like his sisters holding his hand and telling him when he got home that someone had bullied him and they had helped him fight back.
They seemed to be wholeheartedly devoted to him, asking for nothing in return.
But he would rather they could be like Bai Shan and Zhou Man, who stood up for Bai Cheng and directly asked him for money.
Bai Erlang kept muttering to himself. When Yin Huo didn't speak for a long time, he turned around and asked, "I'm talking to you, why aren't you answering... You, why are your eyes red?"
As soon as Yin Huo raised his head, tears could not help falling from his eyes. Bai Erlang was startled and looked around guiltily. He found that Bai Shan and Man Bao had not come out yet. He immediately took out a handkerchief and hurriedly tried to wipe his tears, whispering: "You, don't cry, I'm not scolding you, I always talk like this..."
Yin Huo's tears fell even harder.
Bai Erlang stamped his feet and said anxiously: "I apologize to you, okay? Otherwise, how about I give you a silver ingot?"
Yin Huo couldn't help laughing out loud.
Bai Erlang saw him crying and laughing at the same time, and was speechless for a long time, "Are you going to cry or laugh?"
"So do you want to cry or laugh?" Manbao's dangerous voice sounded behind him.
Bai Erlang didn't even turn his head and rushed out like a calf. Manbao ran after him, beating him as he went, "How dare you bully even guests!"
"I didn't!" Bai Erlang ran around the yard and explained, "I, I only said one word at most, and it wasn't a harsh word."
Yin Huo wiped away her tears and quickly testified for him, "It has nothing to do with him. It's my own problem."
Manbao was very skeptical, "That's impossible. Even if you are weak, you..."
But you are so cheerful, why do you still get emotional so easily?
Yin Huo smiled lightly and said, "I just thought about it myself. It has nothing to do with him."
Bai Erlang rushed out from the side, "Look, look, I didn't lie, how could I bully him?"
Manbao then stopped and said, "Okay."
Bai Shan stood in the corridor and saw that they had called a truce, so he said, "Let's go and have dinner. Aunt Rong made some soup today."
"Yes, you should drink more soup," Manbao said, "it replenishes your energy. You talked too much today."
Yin Huo smiled and nodded.
The meal prepared by Aunt Rong was particularly sumptuous. Everyone drank a bowl of soup first before starting to eat.
Yin Huo ate little and chewed his food slowly, as if he was fighting a war. The three people looked at him and for some reason subconsciously slowed down their pace.
Mr. Zhuang looked up at them and nodded slightly with satisfaction.
It was half an hour later when they finished their meal. Mr. Zhuang put his hands behind his back and went for a walk in the small garden, while the four children sat on the porch, dozing off and basking in the sun.
Yin Huo usually took a couple of walks after dinner, but now that he was sitting with them and being bathed in the slanting light of the Mid-Autumn sun, he began to feel drowsy.
The four of them sat in a row under the porch. Only a little sunlight shone through the eaves, falling on their bodies or feet. Manbao sighed contentedly, "I wonder if there's sunshine here in winter? Yizhou never likes to have sunshine."
Yin Huo replied, "Yes."
"That's good. It will be so relaxing to bask in the sun after dinner."
Bai Erlang was so confused by the sunlight that he added, "If only there weren't a deep blood feud."
Yin Huo asked curiously, "What blood feud?"
Manbao opened his mouth wide and stared at Bai Erlang.
Bai Shan yawned and said, "Reading. Books and him have a deep hatred."
Bai Erlang, who was frightened awake, nodded guiltily and looked at Manbao quietly.
Manbao glanced at him, snorted softly and ignored him.
Bai Jilang breathed a sigh of relief.
