Not only can’t 1 ignore the life-saving favor, but also today’s kindness.
Even though I perceive Tong Sanlang as a dangerous person that I should keep away from, there’s a feeling of security when he’s around…
Should 1 move forward with the original plan to buy a house in the town and move quickly?
But how should I repay the kindness 1 owe to Tong Sanlang…
Looking at the current situation, this is an unsolvable dilemma. Follow current novᴇls on N0velFire.ɴet
The dark of night fell quickly. Qiao Changshun stood by the window and called for her to come eat dinner.
After eating a tasteless meal, she quickly washed up before getting ready to go back to her room and sleep.
Qiao Changshun stopped her, “Xiaomai, are you… really planning to move to the town?”
“Yes,” She hesitated for a moment before nodding.
She couldn’t let her emotions dictate her actions. With a time bomb waiting to explode in her home, she couldn’t continue living there.
Qiao Changshun wanted to say something, but stopped himself. The wrinkles on his face got deeper, resembling the cracked bark of an old tree.
Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai said, “Dad, just listen to me, it won’t be a mistake. Once we’re in the town, even if we do nothing but depend on the farm, we can live comfortably.”
“Then why do we have to move to town? It’s not bad being a landowner in the village…”
“Dami should start studying, it’s closer to the Academy from the town.” After a quick thought, Qiao Xiaomai provided a reason.
Qiao Changshun paused for a moment, remaining speechless.
“Later, if your leg hurts again, you can immediately go to the Medical Clinic for medicine.”
Qiao Changshun remained silent…
“Dad, go to sleep. Trust me; our family’s life will only get better.” Qiao Xiaomai said.
Qiao Changshun stood still for a while. His face showed a complicated expression, with a significant amount of pain.
Qiao Xiaomai didn’t bother to persuade him anymore.
He stood for a while longer before sighing and retreating to his room.
Qiao Xiaomai allowed herself to take a deep breath, raising her gaze to the night sky.
The sky was filled with stars.
The pure, unpolluted sky was a deep black, dotted with shining stars.
She rubbed her face with her hand before retreating to her room as well.
No more hesitation, she decided to move!
Feeling as if a large burden had been lifted from her shoulders, Qiao Xiaomai had a good night’s sleep.
When she woke up the next day and saw the banknotes and land deeds, she felt invigorated.
At the breakfast table, she even felt relaxed enough to ask about the situation with the Sun Family, “How are things at the old courtyard?”
She knew that Qiao Changshun would be keeping a close eye on the situation there.
Sure enough, no sooner had she finished speaking than Qiao Changshun sighed, “The Village Chief has made up his mind to kick your grandmother and your fifth uncle out. Over the past couple of days, he’s had people building huts in the field.”
“In those thirty acres that belong to your fifth uncle, the Village Chief ordered people to build huts, preparing to move your grandmother and your fifth uncle in once their injuries heal.”
Qiao Xiaomai widened her eyes, “That soon?”
“Yes.” Qiao Changshun sighed again, putting down his steamed bun and chopsticks.
The fact that his own mother has been reduced to this state made it so painful that he couldn’t even eat.
“Your grandfather seems to have aged ten years in the past two days. He’s been sighing constantly.” Qiao Changshun added.
Qiao Xiaomai blinked, her gaze scanning over him.
Even if Qiao Qinghe had aged ten years, he still looks younger than Qiao Changshun.
However, Qiao Qinghe is probably worrying about Sun Junyan, rather than the Sun family.
Seeing a child that one has raised for so many years go astray, anyone would be worried.
“Hmm… let’s eat.” She then said.
“Xiaomai, why don’t you try and persuade the Village Chief? Your grandmother and fifth uncle will certainly realize their mistakes now; they definitely won’t dare to do it again.” Rubbing his hands, Qiao Changshun looked at Qiao Xiaomai with hopeful eyes..
