Chapter 144: Chapter 144

"Exactly! The child is right, my brother and I both take after your great-grandmother!" Grandma Bai said.

"Yeah! It’s normal for a nephew to look like his uncle!" Bai Daliang heaved a sigh of relief.

He was just afraid that his daughter might say anything more nonsensical.

Bai Ruxue rolled her eyes, sometimes she really wanted to crumple up her dad and throw him in the trash.

Useless and loves to act on his own, always messing things up.

But there’s nothing she can do, he’s the biological father of the original owner, what else could she do?

Just as she was about to ask something, Zhang Yuan requested to enter the space.

She held back and sat down to listen to her dad chatting with Grandma Bai.

But she couldn’t resist her curiosity, feeling that Zhang Yuan would surely bring gold again.

She said she had something to do and left, ditching her dad and riding her bike out of the compound.

As soon as she left the yard, she quickly got on the bike to head to her own place.

She swiftly entered, locked the gate, ran into the main house, and entered the space.

Her movements were so smooth and natural that everyone thought she was in a hurry to use the bathroom.

Sure enough, when she entered the space, two boxes of gold were gleaming there.

Next to them was Zhang Yuan’s healing smile.

"So much? Did you move all your friend’s stash over?" Bai Ruxue asked in shock.

"Pretty much! I only got a month’s leave from the captain, and I’ve got to go back soon. After I told him, he brought out all the small yellow fish at once to buy premium liquor. He said this liquor sells well! So he was afraid that if I go back, I wouldn’t be able to buy it anymore!" Zhang Yuan explained.

"Alright! I’ll have the assistant handle it for you!" Bai Ruxue agreed.

She was now the owner of three hundred small yellow fish, which was much more than her fifty thousand yuan.

And she couldn’t love it enough.

"What’s wrong with you? You look a bit unhappy?" Zhang Yuan felt something off from Bai Ruxue’s response and asked.

"It’s nothing! Just some annoying stuff at the old house! And my dad!" Bai Ruxue didn’t bother to hide, simply explaining the situation briefly.

"Then wait till your dad isn’t around, have a chat with Grandma Bai. Besides, there’s no evidence for this matter, and Grandpa Bai has already passed away. If Grandma doesn’t admit it, it’s troublesome! We could try starting with Grandma! Find a way to make her confess this matter willingly!" Zhang Yuan listened to the whole situation and felt something was wrong too!

How could someone resemble an unrelated granduncle?

Besides, at that time, both Grandma and Grandma Bai gave birth in the same health center, so the possibility of swapping children was high.

As for the motive... Well, Grandma Bai’s family was urban, both of them had jobs, and this child was their firstborn, who would inherit a job someday.

Just this alone could tempt the calculative Grandma Bai.

Not to mention, back then, Grandma Bai and her husband lived separately and often didn’t have enough to eat.

"Hmm! I’ll find another chance." Bai Ruxue nodded.

"Alright! Don’t be upset!" Zhang Yuan patted Bai Ruxue’s head.

"So, how’s everything on your end?" Bai Ruxue remembered the troubles Zhang Yuan mentioned before and asked.

"It’s chaotic, my dad moved in with that woman and the kid! Constant bickering every day." Zhang Yuan shrugged.

His unaffected demeanor made Bai Ruxue feel reassured.

"So they don’t have to go to the countryside?" Bai Ruxue asked.

"How’s that possible? Their household registration is in the neighborhood, moving over here means just physically being here, the registration can’t come over, so one of them still has to serve as an educated youth. Now they’re just making a fuss about this all the time." Zhang Yuan spoke of his dad with disdain.

He wasn’t being unreasonable, not against his dad marrying someone else just because his mom passed away; it was just that his dad remarried right after his mom’s death without any regard for past feelings.

"Oh... so when you returned, wouldn’t your grandparents be driven mad by them?" Bai Ruxue asked worriedly.

"They fear Grandpa! They don’t dare cause trouble! Once the educated youth is chosen, they’ll move back! Grandma doesn’t like that woman!" Zhang Yuan answered one by one, "Grandma especially likes the canned food here; I’ll get some more out later!"

His indifferent attitude amused Bai Ruxue.

"Suit yourself, taking them all out is fine! Oh, before you go back, prepare more of their favorite foods for your grandparents!" Bai Ruxue suggested again.

"Girl, you haven’t even married in yet and you’re already being a good granddaughter-in-law? My grandma will surely like you a lot!" Zhang Yuan said.

"Your grandma probably loves you, so she likes what you like, even the house and crows by extension?" Bai Ruxue, being a modern person, though shy at first in love, grew up watching and listening to these things.

"Don’t worry! My grandma will absolutely like you!" Zhang Yuan affirmed while looking at Bai Ruxue, "How about we take a leave in a few days, and I’ll take you to meet them?"

"Don’t forget I’m the manager now!" Bai Ruxue chuckled.

Actually, she didn’t want to meet Zhang Yuan’s grandparents so soon, because things at home weren’t resolved yet.

Meeting his grandparents now, she wouldn’t know how to answer about her family; when all gets sorted and names are changed, how would she explain then?

"Alright then! I’ll listen to you! Girl, don’t make me wait too long, okay?" Zhang Yuan said, yet his face was still with a pampering smile.

"I’m only fifteen, Comrade Zhang Yuan!" Bai Ruxue emphasized.

"Fifteen isn’t young! You’re sixteen in nominal age!" Zhang Yuan nodded to himself.

"Get lost! I’m still a child!" Bai Ruxue disagreed.

"What kind of kid becomes a manager?" Zhang Yuan retorted.

The two chatted for a long time, then Bai Ruxue asked Zhang Yuan to move the gold to the lounge.

Even though there was no one else who could enter here besides the two of them, she still didn’t want to leave the gold on the floor.

By the time Bai Ruxue emerged from the supermarket space, it was already afternoon.

She didn’t linger much, quickly locking up and heading out.

While riding her bike to the town entrance, she suddenly noticed someone lying at the edge of a grove by the town entrance.

Curiosity getting the better of her, she biked closer and took a look, realizing it seemed to be a child.

This made her not afraid, so she got off the bike and checked, finding it really was a child, so skinny they were just skin and bones, with long hair indicating it was a girl, though she seemed to have fainted from hunger.

Bai Ruxue took out a bottle of mineral water from her space and gently fed her.

Even unconscious, the child’s cracked lips couldn’t help but swallow hungrily at the sensation of water reaching her mouth.

Bai Ruxue didn’t dare to feed too much, just a few sips, then switched to pour some on her lips.

To soften the cracked lips, so she wouldn’t bleed when she woke up and tried to speak. The rightful source is novel⟡fire.net

She then took out a bottle of grape juice from the supermarket and let the girl drink a few sips.

Convinced the girl had fainted from hunger, giving her something sweet should wake her up, right?

If she didn’t wake up, Bai Ruxue wouldn’t know how to feed her something to eat.
