There is an old banyan tree on the right side of the old house. It was there when Bai Nuo was a child. Now, more than ten years have passed. Bai Nuo has grown into a young woman, and the banyan tree has also grown into an old banyan tree. The sparse leaves have become a towering canopy, the small trunk has become a large trunk, and the small roots have become a root network that permeates the surrounding area.
Ah Yu was standing under the shade of that tree, looking at her with red eyes and pursed lips.
Wiping away her tears, Bai Nuo walked over and pulled him home, saying, "Let's go home."
Where is Grandma?
"She can't walk anymore, and we'll have to take care of her from now on." According to the doctor, the old woman will likely only be able to move her upper body, but will have no feeling in her lower body.
“Grandma used to take care of us, now it’s our turn to take care of her, okay?”
Grandma can't walk anymore!
We'll need to take care of her from now on!
These words were like a thunderbolt to A-Yu. "I'm going to settle the score with him!"
Bai Nuo pulled A Yu back from rushing out. A Yu's eyes were already red from crying. He ignored Bai Nuo and forcefully broke free from her grasp, shouting, "Don't hold me! Don't!"
She struggled and cried at the same time!
Bai Nuo was truly exasperated, but when she looked down and saw Bai Yu's swollen eyes and ferocious expression, her heart softened. Sometimes, Bai Nuo felt that Bai Yu and Bai Dalin were the same kind of people—one extremely selfish, the other extremely impulsive. These two people, whether in their demeanor, appearance, or personality, could be proven to be father and son.
"Alright, why are you crying?" Bai Nuo squatted down and patted Bai Yu's head to calm him down. "What good will it do to go find him? It's just a waste of energy. Fortunately, Grandma is still alive, and we are here. As long as we work hard to earn money and take good care of Grandma, she can have a peaceful old age."
Bai Yu knew and understood what his sister was saying, but he was still unwilling to give up. "Are we just going to let this go like this?"
He wanted to make sure that person was alright, but the old woman was unable to move and had to stay in bed. How could he possibly swallow this bitter pill?
"No way!" Bai Nuo said firmly, "But the best revenge against someone is to live our own lives well, so that they can't even catch up with us!"
Bai Dalin, she will make him suffer the consequences one day, but now is not the time. What he cares about most is what she wants to destroy, that's what makes her feel good!
This is the only way to make up for the grievances they suffered before; any more would be better, but any less would not be acceptable!
But she has no power to fight against Bai Dalin now; it's like throwing an egg against a rock.
"Alright!" Bai Nuo stood up and pulled Bai Yu back inside. "We just moved today, and we still have a lot to do. Don't cry, or people will laugh at you."
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at." A-Yu wiped away his tears and followed Bai Nuo inside.
"Bai Nuo! Bai Yu, are you home?" Just as he caught his breath, the village chief's grandson, Tie Niu, appeared at the door, poking his head in to ask. Seeing that they were both home, he couldn't help but laugh, "My grandfather asked me to bring you the tiles and straw..."
Tie Niu was about 1.7 meters tall, with dark skin. The thin fabric of his clothes couldn't hide his muscular physique. It was hot when he arrived, so he was sweating profusely. He wiped his sweat with his hand and subtly glanced at Bai Nuo's house.
Tsk, it seems Grandpa was right. This Bai Dalin really is no good. Bai Nuo and Bai Yu are so young, he could easily take down ten of them by himself. It's so pitiful that such young children have to live alone.
Bai Nuo had no idea what Tie Niu had been thinking about while looking at her house. She was still very happy to see Tie Niu. "Brother Tie Niu." As soon as she came out, she saw that the oxcart behind Tie Niu was full of tiles and straw.
"So much?" Bai Nuo thought the village chief's family was only willing to sell them a load, but now a whole cartload had arrived. "How much do you want?"
"It's not much money!" Tie Niu scratched his head, grinned sheepishly, revealing a set of big white teeth, "One tael of silver is enough."
One tael of silver wasn't expensive, and the village chief might have even overpaid them. Bai Nuo readily paid the money and, seeing Tie Niu covered in sweat, quickly said, "It's hot outside, Brother Tie Niu, come in, sit down, and have some water."
Tie Niu was eager to see what it was like inside, so he didn't refuse and followed him in. Once inside, he realized what shock truly meant. The small room contained only three wooden plank beds, with various belongings scattered around. Although it had been tidied up, there was still nowhere to step.
More importantly, Grandma Bai Nuo was still lying in bed. Despite all the commotion, she didn't wake up and was still asleep.
"What's wrong with Grandma?" Tie Niu asked.
Bai Nuo filled a bowl with water for Tie Niu and smiled apologetically, "It's a bit messy now that we've moved in, please don't mind. Grandma was a little injured and is sleeping right now."
Tie Niu gave an "oh," took the bowl, and began to gulp down water. As he drank, he secretly observed everything around him. This Bai Dalin was too heartless! He just abandoned his two children and his mother in the old house while he went off to live and eat well? He was such a scoundrel! And this old woman was injured, yet he still treated her like this. No, he had to go back and complain to his grandfather. Maybe Bai Dalin was the one who caused Bai's grandmother's injury. Such a beast in human form—he had to make his grandfather give Bai Nuo a good beating.
Tie Niu felt sorry for Bai Nuo and Bai Nuo, so after drinking the water, he didn't leave. He put down the bowl and said to Bai Nuo, "Are you two cleaning the house today? I don't have anything to do today, so I'll help you."
