Bai Nuo's words were undoubtedly shocking to Bai Dalin. Clearly, Bai Nuo's idea of separating from the family didn't mean finding a house and moving out, but rather truly separating from the family in terms of household registration. In the future, he would have no connection with her in terms of food, drink, or inheritance. But he had an elderly mother to support and no brothers to support. What kind of family separation was this? Moreover, it was his daughter who wanted to separate from her father. This was unprecedented.
People will laugh at you if you go out.
In this sugarcane village, he'll probably never be able to hold his head up again when he leaves.
"No way!" Bai Dalin refused without even thinking. "Absolutely not! I won't agree!"
Chen Qiuling's heart sank to the bottom. "Dalin!" What a great opportunity this was! He could save her and drive Bai Nuo and the others out. So what if they separated the family? What was the big deal? Did Dalin not care about her? Didn't he care about the child? She was carrying Dalin's child!
"Oh dear!" Bai Nuo raised an eyebrow, revealing a strange smile that was uglier than a grimace—because her face was swollen, she looked terrible. "Chen Qiuling, it seems Bai Dalin doesn't really care about you. Look, dividing the family property could save your life and your child's, but Bai Dalin can't even part with that. Why do you think this is?" She pretended to be weak and tried to sow discord, but in the end, he doesn't care about her and won't even give her a share of the family property.
"Dalin!" Chen Qiuling called out pitifully, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Bai Dalin, helpless, weak, and afraid.
Bai Dalin was Chen Qiuling's only straw.
Normally, when Bai Dalin saw Chen Qiuling's eyes like that, he would pounce on her like a cat seeing a fish, kiss her little mouth, touch her little hands, and then pin her down on the bed for a good time. But now, Bai Dalin forcibly looked away from Chen Qiuling and refused to look at her. "No way!"
"Alright!" Bai Nuo didn't force Bai Dalin and calmly said, "Then let's just wait and see who can outlast whom!" Anyway, she was determined to separate the family, she was determined to separate, no matter what!
"Grandma, are you alright?" Bai Nuo meant it. She pressed her hand firmly against Chen Qiuling's neck, glanced down at the old woman, who had fallen and was now lying face down on the ground without uttering a sound.
The old woman was already hunched over, and lying on the ground, she looked like a cooked shrimp, not making a sound. Bai Nuo was very worried. A Yu was crying loudly on the side, so Bai Nuo had to call out to him, "A Yu, stop crying, go and help the old woman up."
Ayu glanced at Bai Dalin first, and seeing that Bai Dalin didn't react, he ran over to the old woman's side. Bai Nuo said, "Wait, Ayu, check if the old woman has fainted."
As instructed, Ayu squatted down and looked at the old woman. He noticed that her eyes were still open, and her mouth was opening and closing as if she was crying out in pain, but she couldn't make a sound. Her brows were furrowed, as if she was in great pain. "Grandma seems to be in a lot of pain."
Ah Yu stared expectantly at Bai Nuo, waiting for Bai Nuo to give instructions on what to do next.
"Bai Dalin, please leave. It's late, we're going to sleep!" Bai Nuo said calmly. "Please close the door when you leave!"
"What about me?" Chen Qiuling cried out upon hearing Bai Nuo's words, "What am I supposed to do?"
"Oh..." Bai Nuo suddenly realized, "And you, sorry, I forgot about you. I'll have to trouble you tonight. Don't worry, I'm a reasonable person. I won't do anything to you unless you're persuaded. I'll let you go back when this family is divided up!"
"I don't want to! Dalin! Dalin! You have to say yes to her, say yes to her, separate from the family! I don't want to stay with her, she's crazy!" How could Chen Qiuling bear this? In her eyes, Bai Nuo was as terrifying as a madman. The only reason she wasn't hurting her now was because Bai Dalin was still here. But if Bai Dalin left, Chen Qiuling felt that Bai Nuo might stab her to death at any time.
Aren't you leaving yet?
Bai Dalin gave Bai Nuo a deep look, then glanced at Chen Qiuling, and made a painful decision, "Qiuling, you get some sleep, I'll come pick you up tomorrow..." Then he left, without closing the door behind him.
"Quick!" As soon as Bai Dalin left, Bai Nuo called to A Yu, "Go and close the door!"
Ah Yu didn't know why, but he still quickly went over and closed the door.
Bai Nuo then instructed, "Move that table to the side of the door and use it to block the door!"
Ah Yu did as instructed.
"And now, sister?" A-Yu cried until his voice was hoarse, feeling lonely and helpless. Bai Nuo was his pillar of support.
"Alright, it's alright now, don't be afraid," Bai Nuo said, looking at Chen Qiuling.
"What do you want to do?" Chen Qiuling felt a chill run down her spine under Bai Nuoshen's gaze. "Let me tell you, you can't do anything to me. I'm your stepmother. If you hurt me, you'll be held accountable. Even if I die, you won't escape!"
"I'm sorry to have wronged you!" Bai Nuo gave Chen Qiuling a sinister smile and knocked her unconscious with a chop to the neck. What kind of courage does she have? She can't even handle this little situation and she still dares to try to sow discord.
"Come quick, help your sister!" After Chen Qiuling fainted, Bai Nuo and A Yu helped her to a chair and then cut strips of cloth to tie her up.
Chen Qiuling is a pregnant woman, while Bai Nuo is a modern woman who is always soft-hearted and can't bring herself to harm a pregnant woman.
"Sister, does it hurt?" After a night of extreme joy and sorrow, Bai Yu couldn't control his emotions at all. Looking at Bai Nuo's swollen face, he burst into tears again. "Your face is so swollen."
