Chapter 327 Extra: Approval from the Eldest Brother 1
The heavy rain didn't begin to subside until noon on the second day, and the following days were filled with continuous overcast and rainy weather.
There were impacts of varying sizes near several mountain ranges in the port city, and even a small tsunami broke out at sea.
Fortunately, the evacuation was timely, resulting in only some economic losses.
Upon closer examination, Tu Yao's herbal medicine base was the most severely affected area.
After reviewing the events, Tu Chaoxi suddenly felt uneasy.
On the other side, Tu Yao's wrist was wrapped up tightly, and Lin Yue's leg, which had suffered a relapse of an old injury while searching for Tu Yao, was also wrapped up tightly.
The two of them were placed next to Madam Jiang, thus losing their freedom of movement.
Nan Ke was packing the luggage that Tu Yao had brought; a small suitcase was already full.
Since Tu Yao has decided to establish the first herbal medicine base in Gangcheng, she needs to have a fixed foothold in Gangcheng.
After learning that the house she was currently living in was in Xuchi, Madam Jiang pondered for a while and then decisively bought a building nearby and had Tu Yao move there.
The three Tu brothers raised both hands in agreement.
"Second brother, we want those herbs too!"
Tu Yao pointed to the herbs displayed on the central island counter.
These were herbs that hadn't been transplanted successfully before, and they had long since dried up, but Tu Yao still wanted to take them with her.
Nan Ke looked in that direction and smiled slightly: "Okay."
Tu Chaoxi watched silently, hesitated for a moment, then sat down opposite her and finally asked the question.
"Tu Xiaomao, tell me the truth, was that night an accident or...?"
As soon as he said that, Nan Ke, who was tidying up the herbs, stopped instantly.
Lin Yue and Madam Jiang also looked over from the side.
Tu Yao turned her head and was taken aback.
Several days passed, and her brothers' complexions still hadn't improved much.
The weariness in his eyes was impossible to hide, and the look in his eyes always concealed a sense of relief and unease at surviving a disaster.
Tu Yao pursed her lips and immediately said seriously, "It was an accident."
"Grandma, brother, it was an accident."
Although there has been no official announcement yet, Tu Yao has guessed why the landslide occurred.
That land was originally an undeveloped hot spring area with a flowing stream underneath. Although they expanded the vegetation in advance to stabilize the soil environment, it couldn't withstand such a strong wind and rain.
"I didn't consider the weather."
"Brother, don't be afraid."
After a moment of silence, she said softly, "...that fake Heavenly Dao disappeared four years ago."
The room suddenly fell silent.
This was the first time Tu Yao had mentioned the false Heavenly Way, the source of their family's misfortune.
Tu Chaoxi looked at her and forced herself to remain calm, saying, "...It disappeared completely because of you, didn't it?"
Tu Yao nodded: "Yes."
After hesitating for a moment, she recounted in detail everything that had happened four years ago, and even more than four years ago.
From the moment she came into this world, to the time she carried the life-giving progress bar, and the accident in Hong Kong four years ago.
Finally, by utilizing the rules between the true and false Heavenly Dao, 110 was sent away, causing the false Heavenly Dao to suffer backlash for all its actions and eventually disappear completely.
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent again.
"...Was your hand injured at that time?"
Madam Jiang held her hand firmly the whole time and was the first to break the silence.
Tu Yao gave a soft "hmm".
Just like that night, she didn't dare to look her brothers in the eye.
She quickly added, "It didn't hurt for very long back then."
After a while, she was taken away by her stepfather.
As Madam Jiang gazed at the girl standing beside her, a thin layer of moisture slowly welled up in her eyes.
After being reunited with Tu Yao, she often thought how much her little granddaughter resembled her.
Like her, I am not afraid of danger, and like her, I always risk my life to do what I want to do.
But then I thought about it again, and it seemed different.
She can go all out without any distractions, but her little granddaughter, while also being willing to go all out, always has too many concerns.
So how difficult and painful it must have been for her when she voluntarily decided to leave this world back then.
...
After asking her question, Madam Jiang fell silent again.
Tu Yao tilted her head: "...Grandma?"
The old lady snapped out of her daze, smiled, and continued to ask, "So, all these years, has it always been in pain?"
Tu Chaoxi, Nan Ke, and Lin Yue all darkened their gazes as they looked at her.
Now it was Tu Yao's turn to remain silent, and she turned and buried herself in Madam Jiang's arms.
...Oh no, her family members are all incredibly smart.
Tu Chaoxi couldn't hold back any longer, "Isn't He the Heavenly Dao? How can He still carry the injury with him when we've moved to a different world?"
Nan Ke's expression also darkened: "Does it hurt badly?"
"...Not impressive."
"Even a stepfather isn't omnipotent."
A muffled sound came from Madam Jiang's arms.
"What?" Tu Chaoxi seemed not to have heard clearly: "What did you call Him?"
"You call the Heavenly Dao 'father'?"
Even Madam Jiang was somewhat taken aback when she heard this.
Tu Yao sat up, head bowed, and silently corrected, "...It's Little Father."
Tu Chaoxi, Nan Ke, and Lin Yue: ...What's the difference?
Aren't they all secretly acknowledging a father behind their backs?
Suddenly, they instinctively looked at each other.
Tu Chaoxi almost laughed; he seemed to understand where Tu Xiaomao's good fortune had come from.
Heaven's favoritism towards her is real.
His sister caused even the most impartial Heaven to show her favor.
They had asked themselves countless times why it was Tu Yao, why they couldn't be the ones to shoulder these responsibilities.
But there are some things that only Tu Yao can do and accomplish.
Another silence fell.
Tu Yao was now unsure whether to speak up or not, and kept gripping the tassels of the sofa cushion.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Tu Yao felt a huge sense of relief and quickly looked up: "Brother, open the door! It's Xiao Chi."
Tu Chaoxi: "...Here we go again."
A few days ago, Madam Jiang made the decision to buy the apartment, and Xu Chi initially had no reaction to Tu Yao moving out of his house.
But after that, it became like clocking in at a specific spot, and I had to come here every day.
Tu Chaoxi reluctantly walked towards the door.
Madam Jiang laughed.
Holding Tu Yao's hand, he seemed to have thought of something, his tone slightly mysterious.
“Your grandfather was like that too; he followed me wherever I went.”
Tu Yao's eyes widened: "Huh?"
"...Grandpa, wasn't it you, Grandma, who used many tricks to lure him into the family?"
A smile flickered in Madam Jiang's eyes as she shook her head: "I only found out later that he was deliberately following me."
"After I found out, I deliberately kept him hanging on."
"We only became friends after he followed me around for two years."
Tu Yao suddenly realized.
Lin Yue, who was standing nearby, seemed to be deep in thought and couldn't help but say, "Tu Xiaomao, what Grandma means is that you should also let Brother Chi follow you for two years."
Tu Yao: ?
...two years?
Tu Yao was immediately in a bit of a predicament.
"...But Grandma, Xiaochi is already my boyfriend."
The door opened simultaneously as soon as the words were spoken.
Tu Chaoxi stared blankly at the young man in front of her, then slammed the door shut again.
