Sanlang went to the old man's house and knelt down with a thud.
"Get up." The old man was much calmer now, "A man has gold at his knees, so don't kneel down easily."
"Grandpa is the elder, and it is right for Sanlang to kneel to you." Sanlang's voice was muffled, "And I can't help you."
The old man sighed, "It has nothing to do with you, but I can't forgive your father this time. Stealing things and hurting others, even the police officer should be exiled. I have already considered it, and I must drive your father out of the house.
, but you are right, you are still a descendant of the Bai family."
"Grandpa..." Sanlang's face changed drastically. He opened his mouth to persuade, but the words got stuck again. How could he have the nerve to say this?
If it weren't for his biological father, he would have wanted to kill that bastard!
If you are caught stealing something, just run away. How bad do you think you are when you push a pregnant sister-in-law?
"I have thought about it. There is nothing wrong with you as a child. Just come home and record it in your uncle's name." The old man said with a firm voice, "There will be no Baishui in the Bai family from now on!"
The old lady also wanted to persuade her, but seeing the old man's firm attitude, she didn't say anything because she knew that the old man had been following her in all these years, but once he made a big decision, he would not change it.
Sanlang lowered his head and said nothing. Looking at his face from the side, he felt very painful.
"Are you reluctant to leave your parents, or are you afraid that others will say you are unfilial?" Bai Banxia suddenly spoke.
"How reluctant can I be to let go of them like this? It doesn't matter what others say, my reputation won't be much better anyway. But if I come back, they will come back sooner or later, and the trouble at home will never end," Saburo said.
.
The old man waved his hand and said, "You don't have to think so much. Can't your family protect your children and grandchildren? You have nothing to do with them since you have made a living on your own, so be tough."
Sanlang nodded and said nothing more. The old man looked into the distance, as if he had thought of something.
The courtyard door rang outside. It was Erlang who had returned from school. Hearing the rapid footsteps, you should know what happened.
"Grandpa, are you okay, sister-in-law?" Bai Shengming asked hurriedly as soon as he entered the room.
"Fortunately, you came back just in time. I have a few words to say to you."
After finishing speaking, the old man looked at Sanlang and said, "Go and call your brother Dalang and Xiaoyu."
"Yes." Saburo responded and left the room with some hesitation.
Seeing the heavy atmosphere in the room, Erlang didn't dare to say much. He got closer to Bai Banxia and asked in a low voice: "Is grandpa okay?"
Bai Banxia shook her head and sighed slightly, "One wave is over and another wave is rising."
How could it be possible not to be angry when something like this happened? The old man's health was already in bad shape, and she almost died from Baishui's anger just after she was nursed back to health. Now, before she could fully recover, Baishui hit her hard again.
Erlang opened his mouth and wanted to scold Baishui, but he was afraid of making his grandfather even more angry, so he had to swallow it.
In the yard, Sanlang had not yet decided how to face Dalang, but he had to obey his grandfather's instructions. He went to Dalang's room and whispered: "Brother Dalang, grandpa asked you to go there.
"
"Okay." Bai Shenggen glanced at his wife, who was sleeping peacefully, and left the house.
The two of them walked towards the old man's house, and Sanlang whispered: "Brother Dalang, I'm sorry."
Bai Shenggen patted him on the shoulder, "If it were before, I would have scolded you too, but now I believe it has nothing to do with you."
Sanlang was stunned for a moment, his eyes turning red.
In the past, he was ignorant and didn't know what was good or bad. If Sister Banxia hadn't thrown him into the defense team to train hard, he would still be the same bastard, right?
He recovered his thoughts, called Xiaoyu again, and together they entered the old man's house.
"I'm going to tell you something today. You are the only ones in this generation in my family. Xiaocao is still young, so I won't call her here." The old man drank some water and spoke slowly.
"As you all know, your grandma and I escaped from the south back then, and most of the families in our village also came from the south, but our hometown is further away than many people. There used to be suitable places on the road.
But your grandma and I gritted our teeth and came further north."
"Because we never plan to return to our hometown in our lifetime, and also to avoid my relatives." The old man did not look ashamed, "Including my biological father and my eldest brother."
Everyone was surprised. The old man had never mentioned it. Even Bai Shan, who was the oldest when he fled, didn't seem to know.
"Don't think your grandpa is unfilial. There's nothing you can do about it. They'll eat those five-stone powder!" the old lady said unbearably.
"You are young, so you may have never heard of Five Stone Powder. It was very popular among the southern generation back then, but you can't get your hands on it. If you take possession of it, you will be ruined. It is not impossible for you to lose your property, sell your wife and children." The old man's eyes turned red and he rubbed the corners of his eyes.
, "My own mother was sold, along with my youngest sister."
Bai Banxia was horrified when she heard that. If you sell a woman at that time, what good place can you go to?
She used to find it strange that even if she fled to the north and could not return to her homeland, why had the old man never mentioned that she wanted to go back to visit her homeland or find out if any relatives were still alive.
She also guessed that the natural disasters were so severe that year, so many people died of starvation, and almost all of the old man's relatives were gone. Unexpectedly, there was such a thing as the Five Stones Scattering.
"I heard Master say that it is like a chronic poison, which can make people addicted and lose their mind. Therefore, the court issued an official document in the early years not to sell and take Wushisan." Bai Banxia said.
"This is a family scandal. I originally didn't want to mention it again in my life, but now there is another family scandal. I just want to tell you that in the face of big things, don't be foolish and filial, don't worry about the so-called family affection, let alone care about others.
say what."
The old man coughed twice, and the old lady hurriedly gave him some relief. He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
"As the old saying goes, once you are addicted to pornography and gambling, you are doomed. I am afraid that the second brother's gambling addiction will never be broken. He can be ruthless to the elder man's wife, but he doesn't have much conscience. Our Lao Bai family does not want such a person.
Admit it. I’ll leave it at that today, and you juniors don’t have to admit it. Even if he dies of hunger and freeze on the roadside, even if his hands and feet are chopped off, don’t care!”
"If others say you are heartless, just say it was my order. There is no one like Bai Shui in the old Bai family!"
After saying this, the old man coughed violently and even became short of breath. Bai Banxia hurriedly checked his pulse and pressed his acupuncture points, and his breathing became smoother.
"Grandpa, we all understand what you mean, but you must take care of your own body, try to look away, and never get angry again." Bai Banxia advised.
She also understood that it was not that easy to say that she was not angry. She just hoped that the old man could think more openly and not let his health get worse.
The old man nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, little girl Banxia. It's because grandpa, this patient, is ignorant and always causes trouble to the doctor."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Erlang and said, "Erlang, you are a scholar now, and your future will not be limited to this place. I will write something later. If someone says in the future that you don't care about your second uncle, just take it out. You are following the family motto."
.”
"Grandpa!" Erlang felt sour in his heart. Grandpa seemed to be arranging funeral arrangements, and his heart ached with pain.
