Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Is it your brother who bullied you? Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Is it your brother who bullied you? The group pet saw Bai Da, and felt incredibly aggrieved, deeply aggrieved. All her grievances suddenly overflowed, turning into tears.
“Daddy, I…”
Bai Da quickly crouched down, heartachingly wiping away the group pet’s tears.
“What’s wrong, tell Daddy, and I’ll take care of it for you. Did your brother bully you, huh?”
His daughter’s tears really hit him hard, he felt extreme heartache.
“No, no, I just missed Daddy. Daddy, when you went to look for Mom, why didn’t you take me with you?”
The group pet quickly shook her head, she couldn’t let Daddy know about what her sister had said about her. If there was another misunderstanding, it wouldn’t be good. So she pouted and pretended to be somewhat upset.
However, her hesitant appearance only made Bai Da feel even more heartache and even more eager to find out what was really going on.
“Daddy took on a night shift and just wanted to check on Mom. Next time, Daddy will take you with him, okay?”
Bai Da hadn’t seen Ye Xiu for a long time and grew increasingly panicked, but Ye Xiu was so firm in what she said, he had no choice. He could only think of a solution.
Ye Xiu could easily become lenient, he naturally knew that. So he took on a night shift on purpose, and also carried cement,
Being tired was certain; he wasn’t afraid. He wanted to be exhausted, to look haggard, in order to make Xiuxiu forgive him.
And just as he had thought, after two full day and night shifts back-to-back, his eyes were bloodshot, filled with red veins, and his whole person was scruffy and visibly worn out.
When Ye Xiu saw Bai Da, her entire being was shocked, her heart ached and she felt helpless. This man had actually made himself look like this.
Bai Da was full of remorse and promises, he almost knelt down.
Ye Xiu naturally forgave him.
At that moment, a particularly meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Bai Da’s mouth.
He planned to come back and definitely have Bai Zhi speak for him, so that Xiuxiu would feel at ease.
He just didn’t expect that the moment he came back, Xixi was crying, and so aggrievedly, it broke his heart.
The group pet’s gaze suddenly lit up, then dimmed again, she couldn’t forget the look of disdain from her mother.
“There’s no need, I’m afraid Mom doesn’t want to see me…”
Mom, now dislikes her. It made her feel unbearable pain, unbearable pain.
“How could that be, Xixi mustn’t think like that. Mom loves you, she was just in a bad mood before. It won’t happen again, Xixi, can you please not blame Mom, okay?”
Bai Da didn’t want Xixi to hold a grudge against Xiuxiu, because they were both the most important people to him.
“I won’t, Daddy. I really love Mom, I just fear that Mom doesn’t love me. I truly love you both so much and don’t want to leave, even if it means Sis might hate me…”
She said this very softly, but Bai Da still heard it, his brows furrowed. Again, Bai Zhi. What on earth did she say to Xixi?
“Xixi, you stay home, Daddy will be back to cook in a bit, I’m going to find your sister. What exactly is going on with her?”
He was already planning to forgive her, but how could another issue arise? This child, why is she so worrying.
Bai Da turned and left quickly.
“Daddy, don’t go, Sis didn’t bully me…”
The group pet reacted after a long while and called out. Bai Da had already gone far.
The group pet was extremely worried as she turned back to look at Ouyang who was carelessly gazing at the sky.
“Brother Ouyang, what should we do? Will Daddy misunderstand?”
“She was already bullying you, turning black into white, having your dad teach her a lesson is just perfect.”
Ouyang held his head in his hands and thought, could such a peaceful life be not too bad? Like picking chrysanthemums beneath the eastern fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan.
“Ah, it’s all my fault, I should have stopped Dad, I’d better go check on him!”
The group pet raced after him, lifting her skirt as she ran.
Unfortunately, Bai Da encountered a closed door; Bai Zhi and Bai Dan had already reached the cake shop by this time.
Green Bean Cake was very popular, but Bai Zhi didn’t want to take any more orders, it was just too tiring.
So, when the young lady said she wanted the recipe, Bai Zhi agreed to give it to her for a one-time payment.
The price was five thousand yuan.
In truth, this price was actually quite high, making Green Bean Cake seemed simple, but it was missing that critical point.
After some thought, Bai Zhi agreed to the deal. Once she started school, she wouldn’t have time to make them anymore, so this worked out perfectly.
The young lady immediately took her to withdraw the money, which Bai Zhi handed to Bai Dan, but Bai Dan shook his head. He opened a deposit receipt and saved it in Bai Zhi’s own name. Suddenly, Bai Zhi became wealthy.
Ten thousand yuan households were quite impressive back then, and now Bai Zhi had half of that.
After everything was settled, Bai Zhi shared the recipe with the young lady and even taught her how to make it by hand. Only then did the young lady realize, to her surprise, that the key was lard. Who would have thought?
After saying goodbye to the young lady, Bai Dan took Bai Zhi directly towards the county. By three thirty in the afternoon, they had finally arrived in Nanning.
The city, threaded by Longwan Lake through the county, was especially beautiful.
The house that Bai Dan bought was right across from County Primary School, a ground floor and a basement, with a vegetable garden in the back and a small yard in the front.
It was suitable for planting vegetables and flowers, with the kitchen on the left side of the ground floor. Behind the house, there was even space to raise chickens and ducks near the toilet.
Such a house was indeed a good buy.
“Grandpa is planning to hire someone to start renovations. He will come every day, but he’ll return home each day too. During this time, you must take good care of yourself, understand?”
Bai Dan had thought it through well—hire people to renovate, whitewash, then purchase furniture. He’d tidy up the yard, making it the home he and Xingxing deserved. It always had to look beautiful, a place where they would live happily, right?
“If Grandpa had enough money, I’d really like to buy another one. The country will get better and better, and this area will definitely be redeveloped. Buying a house is like making a profit, so Grandpa has thought it through; it’s not an impulse, understand?”
Bai Dan looked at Xingxing and smiled as he spoke, fearing she might think he was acting on impulse. But that was not the case; buying a house was a form of investment. Money in the bank wouldn’t increase much, but house prices were different. He had heard that this area would change in a couple of years.
Bai Zhi was stunned; she hadn’t expected Grandpa to think so far ahead. So, Grandpa was a big shot, right?
To think that buying a house was an investment.
If Grandpa was so insightful, then how could he…?
Bai Zhi couldn’t understand.
If it was because he was too worried about the original owner that he slipped and fell down the hillside, but Grandpa could walk with his eyes closed, so how could he fall down the hillside?
“Grandpa, then I’ll work hard to save money and buy a few more houses in the future,” Bai Zhi said to Bai Dan with a sweet smile. Then she could be a landlady.
“Good, we’ll buy several more.”
Hearing Bai Zhi’s words, Bai Dan felt somewhat helpless. It wasn’t so easy to just buy houses; he had almost spent his retirement money on this one. But he supported Xingxing’s ambition.
“But first and foremost, what you must do is study hard.”
The grandfather and granddaughter looked at their own house and felt a sense of belonging. This was their home, and they would work hard together.
“Sure, I know.”
Bai Zhi certainly understood. No matter what, studying was always the most important.
