Chapter 84 The Past of the Elderly
As Ran Yu narrated, the past of the older generation unfolded before the two of them...
"Back then... Lao Yan and I were both military doctors in the army, moving around with the troops..."
In the army, we met Lao Lu, who was Xiao Yi's grandfather. At the time, he was the leader of our unit...
Conditions were incredibly harsh! The comrades had no food to eat and were so hungry they could only drink water to stave off hunger...
The medical conditions were also terrible. Lao Yan and I often complained to Lao Lu about the lack of medical supplies...
Seeing his worried expression, we understood that nothing we said would help, but seeing our comrades injured and unable to receive effective treatment truly pained us...
"It was when Lao Lu and I were struggling to find supplies that Bai Yi appeared..." Ran Yu's eyes were filled with nostalgia as she quietly recounted those difficult years...
"Bai Yi... is he my maternal grandfather?" Ye Ran asked curiously.
Yan Ning nodded, "That's right! That old man..."
He appeared when we were at our most difficult and devastated, and gave us a large amount of supplies.
With these supplies, our comrades were finally able to eat their fill, and we were finally able to give the wounded the best medicine...
Soon, everyone was back to their best condition...
Even after that, Lao Bai continued to provide us with free financial assistance, and with sufficient supplies, we achieved victory after victory...
"All of this... we have to thank your grandfather!"
Ye Ran listened with great enthusiasm, "Yes! I've heard my mother say since I was little that my grandfather didn't hesitate to sell his property to help a team, and he was later awarded the title of patriotic businessman!"
Ran Yu smiled and said, "Yes! Lao Bai is a very remarkable person! He has a strong sense of patriotism, which is second to none!"
Yan Ning nodded, "That's right! That's why we, Lao Lu and Lao Bai, became close friends from then on..."
Ran Yu chuckled and patted Ye Ran's hand. "Yeah! Back then, a few of us were even saying we'd become in-laws!"
Yan Ning smiled broadly, "That's right! But..."
Lu Yi sensed something and immediately asked, "But what is it?"
Yan Ning herself was also full of doubts, "One day, Lao Bai suddenly became very strange. He stopped contacting us and didn't reply to our letters..."
Old Lu has a rather impatient temper, so he came all the way to Willow Leaf Village, only to find that Old Bai had already gotten married and had children.
Although he was angry, he was still happy for his brother. He went up to hug Lao Bai's daughter, who was also Ranran's mother...
But Lao Bai refused, saying that his daughter didn't like strangers. This infuriated Lao Lu, and he stormed back to Beijing...
We were also confused at the time, and we didn't know why, so we stopped contacting each other..."
Ran Yu also looked grave. "On the eve of the Bai family's downfall, Old Bai finally sent a message through someone, saying that he was about to be in trouble and asking us to do everything we could to protect his daughter, Bai Yue..."
We were shocked. By the time we rushed over, something had already happened to the Bai family...
Things happened so fast, we had no time to stop it, we could only do our best to protect Bai Yue..."
Ye Ran listened intently to the whole story, her heart pounding with anxiety. "And then?"
Yan Ning's expression was grave. "The three of us rushed to Willow Leaf Village, but we didn't even have time to see Lao Bai. We only found another letter in the place he had hinted at in the original letter..."
