Bai Nuo and Bai Yu were stunned, and both were deeply moved. Grandma was indeed old, and she was indeed their closest relative in the world (Bai Nuo and Bai Yu had never thought of Bai Dalin). Hearing Grandma say this made them very sad.
Regardless of their thoughts, the old woman was indeed old, but even for this reason, when she entrusted them to Bai Dalin and his wife, it wasn't so easy for them to accept.
So neither of them spoke. Seeing the siblings like this, Grandma didn't want to say too much, but simply said, "Don't always go against your father and that person anymore, at least not now." Nuonuo is only thirteen years old now. If she wants to get married, she will have to be at least fifteen. Ayu is even younger, only nine years old. It will be several more years before Ayu can support himself.
Give her this old body a little more time so she can raise her two children.
"Ayu, come on, it's time to eat. Rice with soup is delicious..." Bai Nuo didn't say anything more, but quietly poured a little rice into Ayu's soup bowl. Ayu didn't refuse and ate it.
Seeing that they had both finished eating, the old woman was relieved. After asking about A-Yu's injury, she left with her cane. Bai Nuo washed the bowl and went to tend to her clams.
"Clam, oh clam, give me a pearl!" Bai Nuo muttered to himself as he took a hammer and a nail and began to tap the clam.
In this era, there are knives, but only kitchen knives, not fruit knives.
But after banging and knocking for most of the day, they only found three pearls. A whole bucket of river mussels, and only three pearls. Bai Nuo was somewhat disappointed.
After cleaning the pearls, Bai Nuo put them away. Then she cleaned the river clam meat, stir-fried it, and took it to her grandmother's room.
She didn't eat a single bite, nor could she bear to.
"What are you holding in your hands?" The old woman asked with her usual kindness as she saw her come in. When Bai Nuo entered, the old woman was making clothes. The fabric was rather plain. Before Bai Nuo could even speak, the old woman waved what she was holding at her. "Come in quickly. Grandma made you a new dress. Our Nuo Nuo will soon have new clothes to wear. Aren't you happy?"
Bai Nuo came in and closed the door behind him. Then he went over and stuffed the clam meat into the old woman's hand, saying blankly, "Eat."
"What is this?" The old woman was stunned when she saw the bowl full of meat in her hand. She thought Bai Nuo had stolen it and immediately became anxious. "Nuo Nuo, you can't steal food! If your father finds out, he will beat you!" Bai Dalin has never liked Bai Nuo, nor does he like Bai Nuo eating good food. If Bai Dalin sees Bai Nuo eating good food, he will definitely give her a beating.
"I didn't steal it. I caught some freshwater fish in the river. Eat up..." Bai Nuo took the clothes from the old woman's hands, looked at them, and saw that they were indeed her size. She couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get the cloth?"
Logically speaking, they should be so poor that they can't even afford to eat, so where would they get the money to buy cloth and make clothes? It's already quite good that they're not naked.
"Dalin gave it to me!" The old woman looked at the bowl of meat from left to right, reluctant to eat it, and stuffed it back into Bai Nuo's hand. "She said that Chen Qiuling disliked this cloth and didn't want it anymore. She had bought this cloth several years ago, so I took it."
