Life has its watershed moments, but you don't know when they will happen or what life will be like after they happen. But Bai Nuo definitely knows what her watershed moment is.
That drinking session was a turning point for her. If Bai Nuo had known that drinking would kill her, she would never have drunk.
Is life miserable after the watershed moment? It really is. Before, even if you weren't rich and beautiful, you still had enough to eat and wear. Now you can't even get enough to eat or wear, and you have to deal with a seemingly innocent but actually selfish person and a scoundrel.
Now they even fight.
But she couldn't back down, nor did she want to. Even though she wasn't related to these people, she would still do her best for her grandmother because her grandmother and Ayu treated her sincerely and made her feel at home.
"What is this? Kerosene? Ahhh! Don't come any closer!" Chen Qiuling was splashed with the most kerosene. Because she was in the front, as soon as it hit her, she realized what was happening and jumped up and down while looking at Bai Nuo in horror.
"Don't come any closer! Dad, if you come any closer, I'll take you down with me!" The strong smell of kerosene assaulted his nostrils, and Bai Dalin jumped up, wanting to fight Bai Nuo to the death, or more accurately, wanting to kill Bai Nuo.
But Bai Nuo wasn't afraid of Bai Dalin. She calmly looked at Bai Dalin, the kerosene can in her hand already empty. She put the can on the ground, and it stood upright next to her.
Bai Nuo also stood upright.
Chen Qiuling glared at Bai Nuo, "I knew you'd been pretending to be stupid!"
"My dear stepmother!" Bai Nuo chuckled softly. "I was such a fool, but I wasn't anymore. Do you know why? It was because you forced me to be. With a scheming stepmother like you, even if our ancestors died, we could still rise up again, okay?"
Chen Qiuling's face turned pale and then red. She understood what Bai Nuo was saying, but Bai Dalin didn't. The only thing he understood was that Bai Nuo was arguing with Chen Qiuling again. "You burned us to death. Do you think you can escape? You'll still die anyway. If your mother knew you died with me, she'd probably be furious."
"Don't mention my mother!" Bai Nuo kicked the kerosene can over, and the empty can rolled to Bai Dalin's feet. Bai Nuo laughed, "Who said I was going to die with you? You're the ones with the kerosene, so you'll probably only burn this one room, right?" Their bodies couldn't even burn a room. There was a table between Chen Qiuling and Bai Dalin's room. Even if they just stood still, they would only be burned to death on the spot. Even if they moved, they would be trying to call for help, not throwing themselves onto the bed and waiting to be burned to death, okay?
"Alright, I don't necessarily have to burn you all to death. I have one condition: if you agree to it, I'll leave immediately!" Bai Nuo held the torch upright, trying to appear nonchalant.
She came to ask for money, not to kill anyone; the old woman was still waiting for her.
"What are the conditions? Tell me!" Chen Qiuling gritted her teeth. She dared not count on Bai Dalin at all. Bai Nuo would get angry as soon as Bai Dalin spoke. What if she got angry and burned them all to death?
"First, I need fifty taels of silver. Your grandmother was injured by your kick and needs to see a doctor. Fifty taels of silver isn't much, is it?" Bai Nuo said after considering it for a moment.
She really wanted to get her mother's dowry back all at once, but she couldn't bite off more than she could chew. What if the two of them went all out and threatened to fight to the death?
"The second thing is that I want to move out. I don't want to live here anymore. I'm taking Ah Yu and Grandma with me. Don't pretend to be nice to me. If you agree, you'll have to pay me in one hand and put out the fire in the other."
