Chapter 4 It’s reasonable for me, with white hair and white eyes, to become an immortal, right?
The Zhao family was shocked and angry.
Compared to the shock of others, they felt even more incredible.
In their memory, Yuan Ge'er was a very timid child who seldom spoke and cried. He was almost like inconspicuous dust and it was difficult to attract their attention.
Until now.
Zhao Fu was in a trance, and a thought came to his mind but was quickly extinguished.
The child is only five years old, but he speaks so coherently. How great would it be if he was a healthy child?
But unfortunately, he is a disaster.
After being stunned, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Pingshun couldn't help but sneer in their hearts at the child's stupidity, saying he was no match for their own brother Lin.
Without money, nothing can be done.
With the burden of this child, he could fully foresee that the second son's family would live a miserable life.
Zhao Pingshun resisted the urge to mock the stupidity of the second brother's family. Fearing that this good thing might turn out badly, he quickly said to Zhao Fu, "Dad, the second brother has complaints against us. We might as well take this opportunity to sever ties with him."
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she nodded subconsciously: "Uh..."
She realized later that she could speak normally. She didn't care about criticizing the bad things done by the disaster star in public, and hurriedly said, "Boss, Brother Lin will be an official in the future."
They were reluctant to do anything extreme before, but now with the words of the disaster star, they can completely get rid of the second brother's family.
certainly.
After this matter is over, she will secretly find Zhao Ping'an to cry and complain. Is she still afraid that she can't save enough money to improve her family's life?
Zhao Fu had thought of this, so he sighed with a sad and embarrassed expression: "Second Brother, is this what you think?"
From beginning to end.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Fu never thought that Zhao Ping'an would completely break off relations.
Zhao Ping'an and Lin Cuiniang were stunned and became a little anxious.
They subconsciously thought about how to refute what these people had just said while protecting their children.
Bai Yuan's expression was extremely cold. He did not like the family's moral blackmailing behavior and took the initiative to speak: "It has nothing to do with my parents."
[That's right, host. They are using their age to blackmail you. You are just a child after all.]
The system is well aware of this sentence, which has a strong effect even in the modern world, let alone in this ignorant ancient world.
It quickly searched the database, helping Bai Yuan analyze while offering advice: [Don't worry that your original parents won't agree. At worst, you can just act pitiful later. As parents, this is the worst thing they can bear.]
Pretending to be pitiful… ?
Bai Yuan maintained a cold expression, but a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.
In his memory, he quickly recalled the scenes of his fellow humans crying and begging for mercy when they were about to be devoured by him. Some even vomited blood and said in tears, "I really know I was wrong. Please let me go."
He was a little embarrassed.
When Bai Yuan said this, no one present, even Zhao Fu, believed it.
"Brother Yuan..." Lin Cui Niang was a little anxious and embarrassed.
She felt that Yuan Ge'er hated the Zhao family so much that he didn't want even a little money. However, money could buy medicine and food to make porridge.
This is life-saving money.
She didn't know how to tell this to her child tactfully, and the pain and self-blame that had been suppressed before surged into her heart again.
Bai Yuan slowly raised his head, stretched out his hand to grab Lin Cui Niang's sleeve, and said seriously word by word: "I will take care of you, don't be afraid."
Lin Cui Niang's eyes instantly turned red.
Her heart was in great torment and struggle. Suddenly, her husband's voice came to her ears, "This is what I have been thinking."
Lin Cui Niang raised her head suddenly.
Zhao Ping'an clenched his fists and said, "I don't want any money. I just ask the village chief and other elders to notarize and sign a document to completely sever ties from now on. We won't come to you in the future, and please don't come to me again in the future."
Lin Cui Niang didn't know what Zhao Ping'an was planning.
But husband and wife are one, she chose to trust her husband unconditionally, and followed suit: "But the things in the house were bought when I got married, and I want to take these things away."
Zhao Fu had clearly planned to write a letter of severance, but looking at the expressions of the couple, he always felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
The second brother won’t really ignore him from now on, right?
Zhao Pingan looked at the village chief again: "Thank you for your help."
The village chief is a relative of Zhao Fu and watched Zhao Ping'an grow up. He has regretted his actions for many years. Seeing the couple so determined, he sighed and said, "Okay."
Soon, in the presence of other elders and villagers.
Every member of the Zhao family put their fingerprints on the document and took away the severance letter. From now on, not even the village could force Zhao Ping'an's family to continue working for the Zhao family like slaves.
Zhao Ping'an and Lin Cuiniang hurried to move things out of the house.
The Zhao family, especially Zhao Fu, watched the whole process coldly, and their dissatisfaction with Zhao Ping'an and his wife reached its peak.
Why can't people who are used to being treated like slaves be obedient?
Mrs. Zhao looked at the sundries and couldn't help but smashing them and sneered, "Don't regret asking us for help after you get out."
Zhao Ping'an didn't say anything and continued to pack quietly.
Bai Yuan turned around and looked coldly at Mrs. Zhao and the Zhao family. His eyes fell on Lin Ge'er, who was hiding behind the door and seemed a little guilty and spoiled.
These people, without exception, exude malice.
"Yuan'er, mother is holding you, let's go..." Lin Cui Niang bent down and picked up the child, while Zhao Ping'an pushed a wooden cart filled with various things.
Bai Yuan twisted his body uncomfortably.
Lin Cui Niang patted Bai Yuan's back gently, and said in a gentle voice: "Brother Yuan, don't be afraid..."
Bai Yuan blinked and suddenly became quiet.
The couple left the yard and went to find the village chief, saying that they hoped to rent the house at the foot of the mountain temporarily. However, they had no money at the moment and could only owe the money for the time being.
When the village chief heard this, he agreed without thinking.
This house is just sitting there anyway, so it might as well be rented out to make some money. It would also help to shut up other people in the village and prevent some short-sighted people from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
Then, the village chief said, "I don't have much money saved. Come back with me later to get some money. Let's boil some herbs to continue feeding the child."
Before, Brother Lin had a high fever and the barefoot doctor in the village couldn’t cure him, so he had to go to the town, which was why he needed money for the carriage and the medical treatment.
Ordinary people simply cannot afford this amount of money.
Not to mention treating a child who brought disaster, most villagers still have some taboos in their hearts.
Not to mention...all the money the couple earned was handed over to Zhonggong, so they would not get the money back if they lent it to the couple, and it would all be wasted.
But the herbal medicines sold by the barefoot doctor are not expensive, and the village chief can still afford this money, and the couple does not need to pay it back.
The people in the village looked at the couple's receding figures, feeling both sad and sympathetic. They did not dare to get too close to the family, but they could not bear to turn a blind eye. Some of them wondered whether they should go home and pick some vegetables or get some dry straw to send over.
The vegetables picked from the fields can be simply stir-fried, and dry straw can be spread on the earthen kang to keep warm and prevent moisture, and can also be mixed with mud to paste the roof or windows.
Let this family get through this period first.
So far, no one has raised any objection to Zhao Ping'an and his family of three living in a house at the foot of the mountain. After all, they are from the same village and there is no need to take things to extremes.
The foot of the mountain was covered with weeds and bushes.
The house that was once inhabited by hunters is now covered with weeds and there is a big hole in the roof. Fortunately, it can be temporarily blocked with mud for a while.
Lin Cui Niang put the child down and said to Zhao Ping An, "We still have to go to the town to see Yuan Ge'er."
Zhao Ping'an nodded, "Yes, we will go and see it. Don't worry about the money."
Because of the three rules, he had been working like a slave for the Zhao family. He had thought about secretly taking on some carpentry work to save some money.
But Mrs. Zhao was watching too closely.
Once this matter was discovered, Mrs. Zhao would definitely make a big fuss. He didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he just wanted to endure it until Yuan Ge'er grew up.
These things happened today.
In order to make him wake up completely, he must sever ties with the Zhao family completely, so that they can no longer bully Yuan Ge'er by relying on their relationship as a relative.
As for the money for medical treatment.
He could sign a contract as a long-term worker for Mr. Zhao, spending three months' salary to get through this period. His life thereafter would no longer be worse than that at the Zhao family's.
He carefully told Cui Niang about his plan: "This foot of the mountain is indeed a bit dangerous. Once I save up some money, I'll see if I can rent another place in the village..."
Having said this, he was a little unable to continue.
There are no empty houses available for rent in the village, and even if there are, they will not be rented to their family.
The couple fell silent again.
In the silence, a childish voice suddenly sounded: "Don't go."
The couple subconsciously looked over and saw their white-haired, white-eyed son sitting obediently on the wooden cart. He reiterated to them with a serious expression: "I am in good health."
The couple was about to speak.
She saw her son climbing down from the wooden cart in a clumsy manner. Lin Cui Niang was frightened and subconsciously ran over to catch the child.
But the next second.
The couple froze where they were, hardly able to believe what they were seeing.
Their child... actually lifted the heavy wooden cart with one hand! And he didn't even blush or gasp, looking extremely relaxed.
"Brother Yuan!"
The couple ran over and tried to hold up the cart, fearing that it would hit the child.
Bai Yuan took a few steps back and put the wooden cart on the ground without letting the debris on the cart shake. He said to the two people seriously again: "Look, I have become very strong."
The couple's brains were buzzing, and they couldn't help but look at the wooden cart, and then at the child standing there. There was only seriousness and undisguised concern in his pair of white eyes.
Lin Cui Niang couldn't help but pinch herself, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
pain.
This shows that nothing is an illusion.
"What, what's going on?" Zhao Ping'an's voice was shaky and his face was filled with disbelief. How could Brother Yuan become so strong? Even the previous hunter couldn't do this.
The system is also screaming: [Ahhh host, what is going on. ]
Bai Yuan thought about it and asked, "Why am I different from everyone else?"
The couple was startled and shook their heads. Just as they felt some pain and self-blame in their hearts, they heard the child nod as if answering his own question, "That's right, because I'm not a human."
The couple shuddered.
What does this...mean?
They had never thought about whether their child was a disaster star or not, they just wanted to protect their child as he grew up. But now the child's words... made them subconsciously think of the monsters in the mountains, the witch in the neighboring village, and ghosts and so on.
For a moment, the couple's minds were in a mess.
They didn’t dare to think deeply about what a child really was. Their first reaction was – they must not let anyone know that a child was not a human being!
Non-human beings will really be burned to death.
