Chapter 267: His brain suddenly seemed to have been pried open and enlightened

"Mom, are we leaving this place?"

"Yes, Dabao, do you want to leave?"

"Uncle Lu is a good person. I like him very much. Just now, what Da Niu and the others said—I want a father like that."

"But Dabao, being a good person doesn't mean he can be a good father. When your Uncle Lu can be a good father, maybe he will come to find us."

"Really, Mom?"

"Really, Mom never lies to Dabao. It's just that Dabao needs to wait. Are you willing to wait for Uncle Lu?"

"Dabao is willing!"

"Good boy, let's go, go home and pack our luggage. Mom is going to file a report. We're not staying in this broken place!"

"Okay!"

Bai Xiuying didn't look back, didn't lower her status, and didn't compromise.

She had experienced one marriage; she knew what "public opinion is terrifying" meant, and she knew what marriage was.

Lu Mingyuan was undoubtedly a charming man, but the shortcomings he had were also fatal!

He couldn't refuse.

Others could get what they wanted from him just by crying and wailing.

If she combined with such a man, there would be endless suffering and endless anger in the future!

Rather than taking her son and compromising, it was better to let go and fulfill him.

If he really had feelings for her, he would understand, he would change, and he would find her...

If not, then she would never stay. There are fragrant grasses everywhere in the world; she deserved a better man!

The door of the health center was closed, and a notice was posted: Doctor Bai had resigned because she had witnessed with her own eyes how the children in the village bullied her son!

So she applied for a transfer and left directly, without leaving any room for negotiation!

The villagers were anxious and angry, pushing responsibility onto each other, completely unaware of their own problems.

Lu Mingyuan watched the farce, and his brain suddenly seemed to have been pried open and enlightened.

From this day on, no one spread gossip about him and Doctor Bai.

At the same time, no matter who came to borrow things from him, he said one thing: "No, not lending."

Facing the shrew's cursing, he let the other party's spit fly, his face expressionless.

After a period of farce, the villagers realized that Special Envoy Lu was serious.

When a kind-hearted person who had always helped without counting gains or losses or asking for returns became cold, the villagers realized too late that they had truly offended him to death!

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world; no matter how much they regretted it, it was of no use.

Lu Mingyuan had truly changed!

Bai Xiuying's words allowed him to re-evaluate how he had gone from one mistake to another for over twenty years.

He had thought about it for several nights and finally decided not to ask Bai Xiuying to stay; he couldn't harm her.

A person like him, with many flaws and a "scum-attracting constitution," wasn't worth her heart!

Now, he could only work silently and send his allowance to his daughter on time...

As for Bai Xiuying, he hoped that she and her son would be treated kindly by Heaven.

Time flew, and the temperature on the Sea Island suddenly soared to over thirty degrees!

People on the island were wearing short sleeves and seven-point pants.

Families with electric fans had already started using them.

Those without them held banana fans, slowly wiping sweat from the infants.

"Iya-ya."

Lian Lian learned from Tangyuan, sticking out her tongue, exhaling, and dissipating heat.

Xiao Mantou and Xiao Nuomi, the siblings, also followed suit.

It's hot, really hot.

They hadn't been wriggling on the straw mat for long before their hands and feet were sweating.

If they didn't wipe it off, the delicate skin would turn red as if pickled in salt.

Besides the heat, there were mosquito bites.

Even though there were many mosquito-repellent grasses and mint herbs planted in the courtyard, the mosquitoes still had ways to break through the siege and bite the infants' smooth cheeks.

And so, the elders weren't paying attention for a moment, and Xiao Nuomi's cheek was bitten!

A white bump with a touch of red quickly appeared.

"These damn mosquitoes, why do they always stare at my Xiao Nuomi!"

Elder Lu was heartbroken and hurriedly applied floral water to his great-granddaughter's cheek.

"Iya-ya."

Lian Lian indicated that she wanted some too; it smelled good, and she wanted some too.

"Fine, fine, fine, Lian Lian wants some too, right? Great-grandpa will apply it to you after I finish applying it to your sister."

Elder Lu's face smiled like a sunflower; they were so cute.

It was a pity that the little ones couldn't crawl or talk yet. When they could crawl and talk, they would be even more fun!

Elder Lin came in from outside carrying a bucket of "Qingbuliang" (a local dessert). Since coming to the Sea Island, they had accepted the local specialty food well.

And so, the north gate of the Jiashuyuan had become lively again recently. He exchanged for a bucket of Qingbuliang, as well as nail snails and raw marinated crab claws, specifically to send warmth to his old buddies.

As soon as he entered, he saw Old Lu bubbling with happiness, his tone sour:

"Old Lu, can you stop smiling so cheaply?"

"Can you stop being a busybody? What are you carrying?"

Elder Lu snorted and bickered. With his keen nose, he had already smelled the fragrance, and his mouth was already watering, but he stubbornly said the opposite:

"Keep it far away, don't let the little cubs smell it. If they get greedy, they'll really make a scene..."

"You don't need to tell me. Old Li, let's go, follow me to the kitchen to hide and eat."

Elder Lin listened to the advice. Indeed, if they ate delicious food and the little cubs saw it, they could only stare and would definitely wail.

Elder Li handed the shaken milk bottle to Old Lu and Old Pei, then went to the kitchen to steal food—oh no, to eat openly—without any burden.

"Hmph hmph."

Elder Lu swallowed his saliva. Eating raw marinated food was something you did either once or countless times.

Anyway, their medical reports showed that their physical condition was very good. Wait, wait, he would go eat too!

"Lian Lian, we'll drink milk and ignore that bad old man."

Elder Pei tested the temperature of the milk in the bottle and felt it was okay, so he held his little great-granddaughter to drink milk.

No infant could escape the temptation of drinking milk. Lian Lian's eyes were fixed on the bottle; this thing was her ration!

Whenever the adults took this out, it meant she could drink fragrant milk!

Elder Lu was still shaking the milk bottle, muttering:

"Xiao Mantou is the older brother. Older brother, let your sister drink milk first. After your sister finishes, Great-grandpa will feed you milk."

The response he got was lonely air, because Xiao Mantou wasn't looking at the bottle at all, playing with his own feet, wriggling and wanting to turn over.

Of course, using all his strength, it was still very difficult, and he didn't succeed in turning over.

Not enough strength, no way.

Xiao Nuomi, on the other hand, held the bottle obediently, gulping it down.

After drinking, she slept, focusing on not being "internally exhausted."

Elder Lu held Xiao Nuomi and put her into the cradle, stepping on the rocker to sway the cradle, while holding Xiao Mantou and feeding him milk.

Tired?

Not tired.

How could taking care of children be tiring?

He was willing.

As long as he saw the innocent smiles of the little cubs, he was full of energy!
