The young man in front of me was fair and handsome. He was wearing a shirt with light gray and light blue diagonal stripes, a white wool vest on the outside, and shiny leather shoes. His temperament was very elegant and bookish.
Bai Taotao looked at Song Zhi again.
Song Zhi is also a gentleman, but his temperament is completely different from that of other young men.
The young man looked like a very gentle person, and he smiled before he spoke. Song Zhi's temperament is much colder and more distant, and he looks like he's keeping people at a distance.
Because of her love for spiritual energy, Bai Taotao felt... well, Song Zhi looked more pleasing to the eye.
The young man couldn't help but smile when he saw Bai Taotao just tilting her head to look at him, "Don't you recognize me?"
Bai Taotao blinked, thought about it carefully, and was sure that she did not recognize this person.
Then, why did she call him "brother" naturally just now?
Bai Taotao was confused.
But Hongdou, who was standing nearby, remembered and pointed at the young man and shouted, "Send, send a card!"
But the little girl's words didn't make her point clear, and Bai Taotao became even more confused.
The young man smiled as gentle as jade. "I'm Urian. Maybe you don't remember me... Why, have you moved to the city recently?"
Bai Taotao nodded blankly.
Wu Rui'an looked at the entrance of the Bai family's temporary residence, and asked, "So you guys... live here? Is it okay for me to come visit you tomorrow at noon?"
Bai Taotao asked: "Are you a relative of our family?"
Urian smiled, "No, but... the relationship between our two families is closer than that of relatives. Your father was injured just to save my sister. You and your family are our benefactors."
Bai Taotao said "Ah" and understood, "So are you from the city?"
Wu Rui'an smiled and said, "We live abroad, but we just returned home recently and are temporarily staying at the guesthouse."
——Living abroad? Her father bravely saved a Chinese overseas? How many hairpins did the female overseas Chinese give to the Bai sisters?
Yeah, that’s right!
Bai Taotao nodded to Wu Rui'an, "See you tomorrow!"
Urian: ...
The little beauty's mental state was much better than before. He originally wanted to chat with her for a while, but she just said goodbye directly?
Urian laughed dumbly and said softly, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
As he spoke, his gaze suddenly followed Bai Taotao's hand and extended to Song Zhi.
——The young man was tall and thin, with handsome features, fair skin, slightly furrowed brows, and an elegant and cold temperament. His eyes were very sharp, and after he glanced at me calmly...
I don’t know why, but Urian suddenly felt cold all over.
Song Zhi nodded to Wu Ruian.
Urian responded with a polite smile, then walked away, looking back every few steps.
Bai Taotao's attention is still focused on her own family.
About two hours later, the Bai family had finished discussing the division of the family, but the Chen family members were still lying on the ground.
The main reason was that Bai Nansheng wouldn't let anyone stand up. If anyone dared to stand up, he would kick them down.
Finally, the Chen family members learned their lesson. Most of the uninjured people sat cross-legged on the ground, while the three injured Chen brothers had to continue lying on the ground.
Father Chen was extremely anxious and pleaded with Bai Nansheng in a low voice, asking him to send his three sons to the hospital as soon as possible. But Bai Nansheng was very persistent: Unless Chen Lanfen signs the divorce agreement, no one can leave here!
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when Bai Lili hurried back with the divorce agreement signed by Chen Lanfen.
Bai Nansheng took the divorce agreement and read it again and again, his expression unclear. He glared at Chen's father and said, "Get out!"
Father Chen then hurriedly called upon his clansmen to help send his three sons to the hospital.
Chen Daniu had already woken up at this time. He knew that his limbs were all useless. He hated it so much that he stared at Bai Nansheng coldly and said in a hoarse voice: "Bai Nansheng, we will meet again in the green mountains and clear waters!"
“You’re welcome!”
Bai Nansheng said in a scoundrelly tone, "If you say that, I have to reason with you. How did I provoke you? You want to make Chen Lanfen pregnant and then put the green hat on my head? If you didn't provoke me, would you suffer this punishment today? I know you must be thinking that you will report to the police as soon as you get out of here, right?"
Chen Daniu glared at Bai Nansheng hatefully.
Bai Nansheng smiled, "Then go ahead and report it! If you have the guts, go report it to the police! It just so happens that I don't want to go back to the army, so from now on I will take those IOUs written by your father and live in your house! Oh no, that's already my house... Tsk tsk, a house, plus 2,500 yuan, I can do nothing but eat, drink and have fun... for five years!"
"Don't think you can abandon me after five years! First of all, your family may not be able to pay back the 2,500 yuan in five years! Secondly, I will never let you go. Five years... is enough time for me to find other ways to make you write an IOU for another 3,000... no, 30,000 yuan! By then, even your sons and grandsons will have to support me!" Bai Nansheng laughed.
Chen Daniu was so angry that his face turned blue. He thought that although Bai Nansheng was a bully, he, Chen Daniu, was not a good person either. But now it seems that his rank is still not as high as Bai Nansheng's, and he can't even escape the bad luck that Bai Nansheng brought to his family? ? ?
Is it really true that I can only report to the police?
"Don't! Don't call the police! Don't go--"
The person who spoke was Chen Erniu.
Chen Erniu is the most thoughtful and the most educated among the Chen family's father and sons.
He said weakly, "Brother, you and I both have criminal records. It would be more disadvantageous for both of us if we report it to the police! When they come to investigate... this is called a fight, so the responsibility is 50-50. And we have more people, so we would be at a greater disadvantage!"
"Who the hell would believe that more than a dozen of us couldn't beat him? What if Bai Nansheng said that we beat him up? If we both have criminal records, not only will the police be biased against him, but even if the case is transferred to the court, we will be sentenced heavily because of our criminal records... Although we were injured, none of us... bleeds. Even if we go for a medical examination, it is estimated that the injuries are minor and will not have much impact on him..."
"And we have to be on guard. If we really sue him, his future will be ruined. What if he really fights us to the death?" Chen Erniu continued.
Chen Daniu fell into deep thought.
Yes, indeed.
He and Erniu had been in jail for theft and molesting women. When they were released from prison, the warden warned them not to do evil again, otherwise they would be sentenced heavily if they were sentenced again!
Chen Daniu suddenly felt a little desperate: Is it really impossible to get rid of Bai Nansheng?
Chen Erniu continued, "Also, what if he reports it to the police and asks them to investigate Lanfen's gift? Then we would become fraudsters, and it would be all our fault, and he would become the victim...Brother, no matter how you look at it, it's not worth it for us."
Father Chen couldn't help but say, "He reported us to the police and said we were a fraud. Can't we say he committed fraud? He forced me to write an IOU for 2,500 yuan. I lost my house and land!"
Chen Erniu shook his head, "Dad, we were the ones who framed him first. So we must not report to the police. We can earn money again if we lose it. If my brother and I go to jail again... let alone paying back the money, this family will even have trouble eating..."
Father Chen was silent.
Chen Erniu took a few more deep breaths and said, "Besides, if we push him too far, are we really going to wait for him to be expelled from the army and then live in our house... and feed us for the rest of his life?"
Chen Sanniu burst into tears, "That damn old woman Chen Juxiang is pushing our whole family into the fire pit!"
When Chen Daniu thought about it carefully, it was exactly as his second brother said.
If anyone is to blame, they can only blame Chen Juxiang for coming up with such a bad idea, plus... they were all bewitched by the hardworking and steadfastness of Bai Zhenggan's family, and forgot that they also have a devil Bai Nansheng in their family who is hated by everyone in the surrounding area.
Chen Erniu added: "The best way to deal with this now is to keep quiet and quickly send this bully back to the army! As for those IOUs written by our father... Bai Nansheng is a jerk, but his parents are not, so they won't be unreasonable..."
At this time, Bai Nansheng also waved to his silly sister, "Taotao, come here!"
Bai Taotao took Song Zhi's hand and walked over.
Bai Nansheng didn't recognize Song Zhi. After all, he just went home for a while, unloaded his luggage, ate a bowl of noodles and left. This was the first time he met Song Zhi.
See Taotao holding Song Zhi’s hand tightly?
Bai Nansheng's face didn't look good, "Little fool, who is he?"
"You are the fool!" Bai Taotao scolded him.
Little did he know that Bai Nansheng loved to hear his silly sister scold him like this, because it seemed that his sister was not stupid and knew how to talk back when being scolded.
"Okay, okay, brother is the big fool! Let me ask you, who is he?" Bai Nansheng pointed at Song Zhi and asked.
Song Zhi spoke up, "My name is Song Zhi, I'm a new educated youth in the village. When I was in the village, I always ate at your house."
Bai Nansheng looked Song Zhi up and down, then looked carefully at the hands held by Song Zhi and his silly sister - well, it was his sister holding Song Zhi's hand?
Bai Nansheng was no longer on guard against Song Zhi.
He said to Bai Taotao: "Taozi, can I give you a task?"
Bai Taotao was smart. She glanced at the defeated soldiers on the ground and shook her head, "I can't beat them." Unless Song Zhi's spiritual energy can continue to nourish her and restore her to the Jindan stage of her previous life, there might be some possibility.
Now?
She hadn't even found a way to store spiritual energy in this body yet. Once she left Song Zhi, she might turn back into a little fool in a minute...
To put it bluntly, she can't even protect herself, so there's no need to think too much about anything else.
Bai Nansheng laughed, "You are not needed in a fight! But..." At this point, he glanced coldly at the Chen family members who were leaving in twos and threes, and said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "If anyone dares to bully you or anyone in this family while I'm not at home...just let Song Zhi call my company, and I'll come back immediately to deal with these grandsons!"
Song Zhi frowned.
——Bai Taotao is easy to fool, but he is not. Bai Nansheng's words clearly implicated him as well.
But he changed his mind and realized that Bai Zhenggan had been taking great care of him since he came to Ruyi Village. He should just consider it as mutual assistance. It was impossible for him to just stand by and watch when something happened to the Bai family. So he kept silent, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
Bai Taotao was not fooled - it would take at least two days for her second brother to rush home from the company. If something urgent really happened at home, could they wait for him?
It’s just that my second brother is threatening the Chen family!
So Bai Taotao nodded seriously and responded loudly, "...Okay!"
Although Chen Daniu and his companions were furious, they understood that they did not have the qualifications or strength to fight Bai Nansheng either openly or secretly, so they were helplessly carried to the hospital by their relatives and friends.
The Bai family, with about seventy or eighty people, then closed the gate.
When the men were discussing dividing the family, the women had already helped each other cook in the yard. The food is ready now.
The staple food is rice without beans, which is enough to fill you up. There are three dishes: one is braised pork belly with green beans, one is stir-fried duck offal with chili peppers, and one is braised winter melon with minced meat.
The tribesmen were all stunned.
——My goodness, are you eating only rice in the city? All three dishes contain meat? Especially that big pot of pork belly braised with beans, it is obvious that there is more meat than beans!
The eyes of all the tribesmen were shining!
The Seventh Granny ate until her belly was round and she asked Tang Liren, "Liren, have you become rich or something? How come you moved to the city, rented such a beautiful yard, and can afford to eat a piece of meat as big as a palm?"
Li Cui'er leaned over and listened attentively, hoping to find evidence that Tang Liren had embezzled public funds.
Tang Liren certainly wouldn't mention that her family had sold a hundred chickens, ducks, and geese a few days ago and earned two or three hundred yuan. She just replied quietly, "Didn't you get injured while saving people? The government allocated four hundred yuan for medical expenses, and we've already spent more than two hundred... Use it first, and we'll talk about the treatment costs later."
Grandma Seven was a little angry. "Oh, then I have to say something to you! We are all from the same village. Everyone knows that you are not rich. It's good enough to eat bean rice, cabbage and potatoes. How can you be so extravagant and wasteful?"
Tang Liren, "I went to great lengths to call everyone to the city, but in the end they came to laugh at my family. I feel bad..."
"Oh! You silly child! Every family has its own problems!" Then, Grandma Seven glared at Chen Juxiang fiercely and continued to ask Tang Liren, "By the way, how are you going to build your new house?"
Tang Liren, "When the third grandmother passed away, I saw her off. She gave me the deed to the land in Hexi. Let's build our new house there! The second uncle (Second Uncle Bai) also wants to build a new house, but I'm afraid he doesn't have any land. I'll give him a piece and we'll go back to sign the documents."
Li Cui'er immediately shouted, "If that's the case, we should get a piece of that land!"
Tang Liren glanced at her indifferently.
Grandma Qi shouted, "Okay, give me your ancestral house in exchange!"
"Biased!" Li Cui'er snorted and turned away.
On the other side, Bai Taotao and Song Zhi also sat side by side, each holding a large bowl of rice with various dishes thickly piled on top.
Bai Taotao originally loved eating meat.
But she discovered that the side dish of meat, beans, was even more delicious? So she scooped the beans and winter melon from Song Zhi's bowl into her own bowl, and scooped the pork belly from her bowl into Song Zhi's bowl...
Song Zhi held the bowl and patiently let her fiddle with it.
Tan Fenghui is the eldest sister-in-law and she unconsciously takes on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings. She always makes a round of inspection and only feels at ease when she sees that her younger siblings and children have eaten. As a result, I saw Taotao sitting next to Song Zhi on a small stool, constantly putting something into Song Zhi's bowl?
Tan Fenghui blamed Taotao, "Taotao, are you bullying Song Zhi again?"
Bai Taotao: ...
The word "又" is very soulful.
Tan Fenghui touched Taotao's head and said to Song Zhi, "Song Zhi, Taotao is a child, don't be so formal. There are still many dishes over there. If you don't have enough, go get more!"
Song Zhi responded.
Bai Taotao suddenly remembered something and said loudly, "Mom and Dad, there's a man named Wu... Wu Ruian. He said he would come to visit you at noon tomorrow!"
Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren were stunned.
"Is Ryan in the city too? Is he back again?" Bai Zhenggan asked.
Bai Taotao knew nothing.
Tang Liren smiled and said, "Taotao was able to say Rui'an's name and bring him home tomorrow, which is good enough..."
As she spoke, Tang Liren looked at Song Zhi, a little surprised, "By the way, Xiao Song, why are you in the city too?"
This time it was Song Zhi's turn to be stunned.
——Didn’t you write a note saying that if you didn’t come back in three days, you would let me go to the city to find you?
Bai Zhenggan remembered something else and said to Tang Liren, "Isn't Aunt Guihua looking for someone who knows foreign languages? There's one right in front of us!"
Tang Liren was also happy. "Yes, yes, Xiao Song, your uncle said you can speak two foreign languages? It's like this, I have a distant relative, and I want to find someone who knows foreign languages to help me, you..."
Song Zhi nodded. "I can speak English and Russian, so I have no problem with general translation. As for Japanese, my written translation is OK, but my spoken translation may be a little worse. My aunt and I will go take a look tomorrow. If I can help, I will definitely help."
I heard that Song Zhi can speak three foreign languages?
Everyone looked envious.
Bai Nansheng also held a big bowl and sat in the corner, eating rice.
Today's meal is very good. The palm-sized piece of pork belly is first fried and then braised until it is crispy and tasty. It is paired with fragrant white rice and tastes amazing.
But Bai Nansheng tasted like chewing wax.
He finished his meal in a hurry, put the bowl and chopsticks in the sink, and walked out when no one was paying attention.
Bai Nansheng rushed to the obstetrics ward of the hospital.
Chen Lanfen was lying in the ward. A chubby baby was sleeping on the small bed beside her, snoring with his fists clenched.
Bai Nansheng looked at Chen Lanfen steadily.
Since childhood, he knew that he was not likable - in Chen Juxiang's eyes, no matter how well he performed, he could never compare to the rich child of the fourth room.
But he was young and his parents and brothers were busy working, so he was entrusted to Chen Juxiang and spent an extremely distorted childhood. Later, when he grew up and was under the supervision of his parents and brothers, he gradually understood right from wrong.
But he was not willing to be a good person in the eyes of his parents and brothers.
——Being a good person means you will be bullied by bad people.
When facing Chen Juxiang's suppression, the two words "respect the elderly" were enough to make his parents feel suffocated; when facing Li Cui'er's sneaky molestation, the two words "pity the young" made her parents, as brother and sister-in-law, have to forgive all of Li Cui'er's cunning.
Bai Nan was filled with hatred.
Is being kind to others the only way to protect your family?
So when faced with the evil deeds of Chen Juxiang, Li Cui'er and others, is the only way out for our family to be tolerant?
Bai Nansheng couldn't swallow this.
He wants to use evil means to protect his family.
His willful and self-willed lifestyle made him feel refreshed, but he also paid a huge price for it - except for his family who had no choice but to tolerate him, no one was willing to approach him, and he didn't even have a friend with whom he could have a quiet chat.
The appearance of Chen Lanfen was so precious to him.
——She is not good-looking.
It doesn’t matter, pretty girls won’t pay attention to him.
——When they met for the first time, she blushed and dragged him into the cornfield?
It was a little inappropriate, but it was rare to find a girl who didn't dislike him or be afraid of him.
——She seems to be in a bad temper?
It doesn’t matter. He has a bad temper. He will just learn to be nice to her slowly in the future.
——Is that the time she got pregnant with his child? ? ?
sky! What a great joy this is! He finally has his own little home?
——Her father wants a thousand yuan as a dowry?
This is too outrageous, but he will work hard to earn money in the future and return the thousand yuan to his parents.
Bai Nansheng has done all kinds of psychological preparation for himself... He is even very grateful to Chen Lanfen, who is willing to give him a home, a child, and to accompany him until the end of his life.
However, the initial passion gradually faded away, and Bai Nansheng slowly calmed down.
He could sense the difference between how Chen Lanfen treated him and her family, and he also vaguely heard some rumors, but he trusted her and never took it seriously.
What made him feel a little uneasy was his feelings for Chen Lanfen.
When chatting with his comrades in the company, he had endless things to say when talking about his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, sisters, nephews and nieces!
But when his comrades asked with a smile, "Where is your wife?"
Bai Nansheng couldn't utter a word for a long time.
He then realized that besides knowing that her name was Chen Lanfen, her family was from Chenjia Village, and that she was 25 years old and two years older than him...
He knew nothing about her; he did not understand her at all.
After a while, he actually... often forgot that he was already a married man!
This time he was urgently called back by his family, and he had guessed that it must be related to her. Could something have happened to the baby in her belly? He was feeling uneasy, but more confused.
How come he suddenly got a wife and a child?
He still...
Can't remember what she looks like.
Later, when he came back and saw her, he didn't even dare to talk to her or look at her for even a second.
It's really too unfamiliar.
If it weren't for her huge belly, he would never have recognized that this woman was... his wife.
As a result, he heard a truth that made him extremely angry and ashamed.
——It turned out that she didn't drag him into the cornfield just because she liked him.
——It turned out that she didn't want to marry him at all.
——It turned out that the baby in her belly was not his at all.
——It turns out that she has always thought of him as an idiot.
So, he's still alone, right?
At this moment, Chen Lanfen, who was lying quietly on the bed, suddenly turned her head and unexpectedly saw Bai Nansheng standing at the door.
She was very surprised and tried to sit up, but accidentally touched the wound on her lower abdomen and couldn't help but let out a low cry of "Ah"...
"Don't get up. I'll come over to take a look at you and then leave." Bai Nansheng said.
Chen Lanfen gasped for a long time before she suppressed the heart-wrenching pain. She called out "Nansheng" in a hoarse voice and could not speak anymore. Tears flowed down her face.
She didn't know what was going on, but she walked on the road of life trembling with fear, and every step she took was at the wrong fork in the road with incredible precision.
——She was an abandoned baby picked up by Chen’s grandmother and was abused from childhood. The neighbors all felt sorry for her. When she was sixteen years old, the village cadres asked her if she needed a separate household registration for her. This was already making it clear to her that she could establish her own household registration and move out of the Chen family! But she was timid, and retreated under the disappointed eyes of the village cadres and refused the independent household registration.
She lost her first chance to escape.
——When she was raped by Chen Daniu for the first time, she cried and struggled so miserably that it alarmed the neighbors. The kind-hearted neighbor came over with an axe, and while cursing Chen Daniu, he asked her through the window if she needed help. She became timid again, and tricked her neighbor away through the window, and then completely became a plaything of the Chen family's father and sons.
She lost her second chance to escape.
——Once she was pregnant, and it was about three or four months? Then I had another miscarriage and the bleeding was profuse. Chen Daniu was afraid that she would die, so he sent her to the town hospital. The doctor understood her symptoms as soon as he saw them. He drove Chen Daniu away under the pretext of doing a physical examination, closed the door and asked her if she wanted to call the police. She hesitated, but was really afraid of living alone and being retaliated by the Chen family, so she finally refused.
She lost her chance to escape again.
——And this time, she had clearly married Nansheng and had clearly escaped from the sea of suffering, so why...
Chen Lanfen burst into tears, feeling as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
Bai Nansheng just stood aside silently without saying a word.
"Nansheng, will you... still remember me in the future?" she asked in a low voice.
Bai Nansheng, "It's better to forget it."
After a long while, Chen Lanfen whispered, "Thank you, Nansheng... It's my fault, I'm such a... jerk."
Bai Nansheng was silent for a long time and said, "My mother has already arranged everything for you..." Then he repeated Tang Liren's arrangements.
Tang Liren is a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although he hated Chen Lanfen for deceiving his family, he still felt pity for her - she was not the biological daughter of the Chen family, and now that the divorce had happened, the Chen family might vent their anger on her! At this time, Chen Lanfen had just given birth to a child. It was the most difficult time in a woman's life when she needed the most care.
No matter what she did wrong, no one should kick her when she's down.
So, with the introduction of the nurse, Tang Liren found a local female nurse and paid her 150 yuan. They agreed that after Chen Lanfen was discharged from the hospital, she would live in the nurse's home for three months. The nurse would take care of her and the child and provide Chen Lanfen with three meals a day.
Bai Nansheng added: "After three months, your body will have basically recovered. You should not go back to Chenjia Village. Stay in the city and find a job. You will be able to survive."
Chen Lanfen was a little hesitant.
——If she really did what Nansheng said, would she suffer more and be worse off than if she stayed in the Chen family? And, will this decision make her already terrible life even worse?
Bai Nansheng suddenly whispered: "Actually, I want to thank you..."
Chen Lanfen was stunned.
Bai Nansheng said: "Thank you for making me mistakenly believe that I had a love affair like many others. Thank you for letting me know... I don't deserve love at all. I have to thank you even more, no matter whether I threatened you with the lives of your brothers and forced you to sign the divorce agreement... you signed it anyway. So I want to thank you for letting us part ways in peace..."
"From now on, we'll never see each other again." Bai Nansheng said in a low voice, then turned and left.
Chen Lanfen stared blankly at him as he strode out of the ward...
After a long while, she finally cried out heartbreakingly, "Nansheng!"
Bai Nansheng ran around the hospital again and finally found the Chen father and son. However, he hid quietly aside and did not let them find him. He heard the doctor say to Chen's father -
"Chen Daniu's condition is not good! His hands and feet are all comminuted fractures. It is recommended that he be hospitalized for at least one month... As a family member of the patient, it is best not to let him recuperate at home alone. It is easy for bones to be dislocated. Once the bones are dislocated, it is serious and must be comminuted a second time to be reconnected. It is very likely that he will not be able to do farm work in the future."
"Chen Erniu's condition is slightly better, but during the blood test, it was found that Chen Erniu has severe hepatitis. This disease is contagious. Your family members must pay attention to it. He must be hospitalized for treatment..."
"As for Chen Sanniu, his condition is better than his two brothers. It is recommended that he stay in the hospital for a month, and then he can go home to recuperate after his bones have healed properly..."
Father Chen cried and asked, "Doctor, how much will it cost if all three of my sons are hospitalized and treated?"
The doctor sighed and gave an astronomical figure.
Father Chen squatted on the ground, holding his head and crying.
Chen Sanniu also cried and cursed, "We have really been hurt by Chen Juxiang this time! If Lanfen had married big brother, wouldn't there be no problem? It's also because you are too greedy! You think that if you take the Bai family's money and marry a virgin girl, Bai Nansheng will sleep with our old woman and raise a son for big brother... You treat people like idiots! In the end, we are the idiots... Woohoo! Only Chen Juxiang is still eating and drinking well, woohoo..."
Bai Nansheng naturally knew that the Chen family could not afford the money to support the hospitalization of their three sons.
That's right.
As long as the three sons of the Chen family become disabled, they will not be able to come and seek revenge in the future.
For Nansheng, as long as his family can live a good life, he doesn't mind whether he goes to heaven or hell. But what he hopes most is to become stronger and protect his family for life.
Now that the Chen family's issue has been resolved, he must hurry back to the company and work hard in the future to achieve meritorious service, earn military merit to bring honor to his family, and become a pillar of support for his parents and family.
Bai Nansheng smiled slightly and left.
The sky had already set and there were few people on the road.
Bai Nansheng hurried home, but about half a mile away from home he saw a girl of fifteen or sixteen. The girl had a sad expression and tear marks on her face. She was sitting on the side of the road in patched old clothes. In front of her was a clean cloth bundle with a dozen hairbands on it.
He stopped.
The girl immediately noticed him, looked up, opened her eyes full of hope, and said with a sob: "Brother, please be kind... please buy me some hairbands!"
Bai Nansheng squatted down and asked her, "Is there any trouble at home?"
The girl bit her lip, "My brother and I are the only ones left at home. My brother...is sick and has to go to the hospital." She wiped away her tears again, but stubbornly controlled her tears, not wanting to cry out loud, "Brother, buy some hairbands and bring them back to my sister-in-law or sisters at home. They will be happy."
Bai Nansheng lowered his head and saw the hairbands on the bundle. Most of them were woven with woolen ropes and scraps of cloth. The colors were quite nice and the craftsmanship was exquisite.
"I have three younger sisters, they are about your age..." Nansheng said, "How much do you sell these hairbands for?"
Girl, "One cent each."
Bai Nansheng, "I want them all." Then he took out a big unity note and handed it to the girl.
The girl looked at him in surprise, then at the big unity note, hesitated for a while, and said, "Brother, I can't make the change for your money. Otherwise, I'll give you these hairbands!"
Bai Nansheng, "That won't do. If you can't find the money, then don't bother to find it. Send your brother to the hospital right away. I'll take these hairbands!"
As he said this, he placed the Great Unity on the baggage bundle, grabbed the dozen or so hair ropes, and stood up to leave.
There was a "bang" sound behind me.
Nansheng turned around.
The girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him, crying, "Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother! May God bless you, and you will be happy and healthy all your life!" Then she grabbed the big unity tightly, stood up and ran away.
——Will he live a happy and healthy life?
Bai Nansheng smiled bitterly at first, then relaxed his brows.
As long as his family is well, he will be well, isn't that a lifetime of happiness and health!
He tightened the hairband in his hand and quickened his pace.
When he rushed back to the courtyard where his family was temporarily staying, he heard laughter coming from within the courtyard wall.
At this time, most of the villagers who came from their hometowns had already rushed back - after all, most of them were not well-off and were relying on working to earn some work points.
Only four or five elderly people were persuaded by Tang Liren.
What Tang Liren meant was: You are old, so don’t run around like those young people. Take a good rest here for a few days, and I will take you to the hospital to see a doctor.
——Fourth uncle, don’t you have glaucoma?
——Grandma Seven, aren’t you suffering from bone pain or rheumatism?
——Aunt Liu, you suffer from asthma. I’ll take you to see a Chinese doctor.
—Uncle, you’ve had corns on the soles of your feet for several years. It hurts so much that you can’t walk. I’ll take you to the hospital to have them removed... After you’ve rested and recovered from your illness, we’ll go back together!
The old people were happy and grateful.
Bai Nansheng stood at the steps outside the yard, listening quietly to the laughter coming from the yard.
He laughed too.
But he didn't dare step into the yard.
In this family, he is an outlier. Although he knew that his parents and family had tried their best to tolerate him, and he also tried desperately to fit in, but...
Still a bit out of place.
At this time, Tang Liren's voice rang out, "This Nansheng! Where do you think he went without saying anything?"
Bai Nansheng was about to speak——
His silly sister Bai Taotao answered in a crisp and sweet voice: "Brother went to the hospital!"
Bai Nansheng was stunned.
Tang Liren asked suspiciously, "Why did he go to the hospital?"
Tao Tao, "My brother is afraid that once he returns to the company, the Chen family will come back to bully us, so he went to the hospital to get some information... If the Chen family is really well, my brother will break their hands and feet again, and they will never be able to bully us again..."
Tang Liren was a little unhappy, "Did your brother tell you?"

But Bai Taotao also searched the memory of her original self, the little fool. In the memory of her original self, Bai Nansheng was no different from every member of this family.
When he was working on the farm at home, he was strong and quick, and did more work than anyone else. There are many people in the family, and four families are crowded in one yard, which makes it impossible for them to live together. It was he who went up the mountain to cut wood alone, dragged the big tree back and sawed it into boards, built an extra room, and renovated the attic. Only then did everyone in the family have a bed to sleep in.
In order to improve the food for his family, he was busy all the time and wandered around the mountains all day long. Sometimes he would secretly pick up some mountain products and bring them back. Sometimes he would set a trap on the mountain to avoid people and then quietly go to the trap in the middle of the night to check. He would occasionally pick up a rabbit or a roe deer, but he was afraid that bringing it back to process would alarm Li Cui'er next door, so he would process it outside. He would work hard for most of the night to roast it and then bring it back to wake everyone up so that they could eat the meat...
Also because Bai Taotao was a fool, everyone despised Bai Taotao and looked down on the Bai family at first. It was all thanks to him that he beat the whole village with his fists. Everyone who laughed at Bai Taotao and the Bai family was beaten by him. In the end, there was no more
