Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Wanting to Cry but No Tears

Mo Yaner’s family was both cold and hungry, blowing in the bitter wind for half the night. Now, at last, they had hot meals to eat, and the whole family wolfed down the food, finally having their most comfortable meal in many days.

“Grandmother is the best, Yuan Yuan finally had her fill, no need to eat rice crust soaked in hot water anymore.” Yuan Yuan, just over two years old and still innocent, didn’t understand taboos and blurted out their difficult circumstances at the Mo family.

Actually, even if she hadn’t spoken, Madam Xie, who had lived in the Mo family for over a decade, knew Old Lady Mo well enough to guess their plight. In the old days, she and her daughters led the same life; having rice crust to eat was already good, so they wouldn’t be hungry. What she feared the most was when there wasn’t even rice crust available, and they had to drink cold water to fill their stomachs.

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Mo Yaner, after all, cared about appearances, and her daughter’s words had exposed their poor life at the Mo family, making her face fall at once.

Seeing her mother upset, Yuan Yuan immediately dared not utter another sound.

Li Feng couldn’t help but interrupt, “My wife, not to criticize you, but we’ve fallen on such hard times, why do you still speak up for them?”

Mo Yaner was suddenly speechless. Yes! Just earlier, standing in the dark night, the bone-chilling wind made her feel utterly hopeless, as she once thought their family might freeze to death in this cold night.

It was Xuexue, the moment she opened the yard gate, that she saw hope. At that time, although she didn’t speak, her mood soared with joy because she knew her family was finally saved.

Madam Xie hurriedly smoothed things over, “Dear son-in-law, don’t scold her. We’ve all been cold all night. I’ve boiled some hot water for you to soak your feet; get warmed up before sleeping again.”

The old residence only had three rooms: one for Big Bull, one for Xuexue, and Madam Xie and Chuner occupied the last one. With no room for them to sleep in, what was to be done? Madam Xie discussed with Xuexue and decided that Xuexue would sleep with them for a while, at least until Mo Yaner’s family left.

“Fine, mother, whatever you say we’ll do,” Xuexue agreed without hesitation.

“Sleep with us tonight on the same bed, just bear with it a little. Tomorrow, I’ll have Big Bull go up the mountain to chop some wood and make a new bed. Then, you can sleep on your own bed again,” Madam Xie said with a smile, clearly in a good mood with her eldest daughter’s family returning.

After bustling around for half the night, the old residence finally quieted down.

Suddenly, a shadow silently leaped into the originally calm yard.

And headed straight for Big Bull’s room.

“Who’s there?”

Perhaps it was innate alertness, but as soon as the person approached the room, Big Bull, who had just fallen asleep, woke up immediately, eyes wide open.

“Master, I have come to rescue you late; please punish your servant,” the man in black kneeled by the bed at once.

The man in black’s actions gave Big Bull a start. Since Xuexue knew he was afraid of the dark, she had made a point of letting him sleep with a lamp on, so he could see everything clearly as soon as the man entered.

“You… you… what are you doing? I… I don’t know you.”

“Master?”

“I’m Big Bull, not Master.”

Big Bull, with his silly tone, was completely different from the usually stern and bloodthirsty Master. The man in black stood there, stunned. What on earth had happened to make the Master like this?

“Master, I am Long Yi.”

“I don’t care who you are; I don’t know you. Just go away quickly. I want to sleep,” Big Bull said.

After being ordered to leave by the Master, Long Yi had no choice but to get up and leave, looking back every three steps. Ever since he had encountered the Master in the neighboring village at the beginning of the year, he had searched several nearby villages thoroughly and only today discovered that the Master was staying in Mo Family Village. He couldn’t wait to get there, only to find that the Master no longer recognized him. At that moment, Long Yi was filled with a sense of tearless grief.
