Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

She stroked her daughter’s hair lovingly and said, “Take Fang Zi with you. She’s still young, she can’t stay cooped up in the village. Bring your sister along and let her see the world. ”

Both of them would remain in the mountains, but she really wanted her son and daughter to leave this godforsaken piece of land and venture into the world. Surely, she did not want her children to work on the measly vegetables and live a hard life as farmers for the rest of their lives.

They could not help their children much in their future, but she was willing to let them free, instead of trapping them in this insignificant provincial village. If the village was developed and the standard of life improved in the future, they could always come back if they wanted.

“Mom, then I won’t go.” When Liu Fang heard that her parents would not be following them, she was upset that it would just be the two of them. Why won’t they come along too? It’ll be so much better if they come along, then we can stay together as a family and not be separated. Otherwise, if it’s only my brother and I, I would be really worried about leaving them here.

Liu Fang’s mother knew what she was about to say. As she fiddled with her daughter’s hair, she replied, “Don’t think that we’re like Changsheng’s mother. She has it coming for her all along. When he was around, Changsheng did everything for her. After Changsheng left, she piled all the work onto Xiao Yan. Now that Xiao Yan is leaving too, she simply can’t do anything no.”

No matter what, Liu Fang’s mother would never let herself repeat Changsheng’s family’s mistake.

No matter how reluctant Liu Fang and her brother was, they eventually left in the end. Liu Fang’s mother was right, nothing would come out of staying in the village. At most, she would be married and spend the rest of her days toiling in the farmlands. There was nothing for them in life like that. Their parents had already spent their lives in such a way, would they still wish for the next generation to continue the same path in life?

So, they willingly let their two children free. No matter how much they missed their children or how much their heart ached, they had to steel their hearts and inevitably let them go.

Liu Fang was wailing miserably before they left. She was only a very young lady, at 18 years old. In fact, she had only just entered adulthood. Ever since she was born, she had never left this little village before. Now that she was leaving for the first time, she would be going so far away. It was not only her, as even Liu Fang’s mother was hesitant to part. No matter how hesitant they were, Fang Fang still embarked on her journey toward Sea City.

After trekking for two days and two nights, Liu Hao and his sister finally reached Sea City. Liu Hao gritted his teeth and made the difficult decision to use the one million from Lu Yi to buy an old house, but one million yuan was still not enough. The property prices in the Sea City were too high, so even a million yuan was not enough for a decent home. He even had to fork out his savings from the past few years to cover the differences. Although he paid the sum grudgingly, his heart was relieved when they finally moved in.

That was because they finally had their own house, a place for them to call home.

“Mister Lu, are you for real? ”

Liu Hao held on to his phone, it was another pleasant surprise. He was just thinking of a way to settle down with his sister when he received Lu Yi’s phone call to offer her a job babysitting children.

She would be babysitting three children that were about two years old. They were all very obedient, while her accommodation and meals would be provided. All in all, her monthly wages would be almost as high as his own.

Of course, Liu Hao would not suspect Lu Yi’s intentions, as it was evident that he was trying to help them. He had already helped them so much and gave them a million yuan. Surely, he would not sell my sister off. Even if he did, the two of us would not be worth a million yuan, right?

Lu Yi hung up the call and looked back, seeing that Yan Huan was playing with Xunxun. What has this good-for-nothing mother up to again? She made Little Xunxun unhappy again. She was pouting so much that she could cork a bottle.

Xunxun saw that her father was done with his work, so she hurriedly ran over and hugged her father’s legs.

“Darling, what is it?” Lu Yi carried his daughter up and pinched her pretty little cheeks.

“Mama, bad...” Xunxun bit onto her little finger as she complained to her father, babbling about how mama was bad – tricking her into eating meat even though the meat did not taste nice.

Lu Yi was hilariously speechless at this.

In the past, he also had to go to great lengths to trick Yan Huan into eating meat, and now Yan Huan was trying the same on her daughter. However, Xunxun did need a bit more persuasion. This little brat is such a picky eater, she won’t eat this or that. If her meal has a tinge of meaty flavor to it, she will turn her face away and refuse to eat no matter what, unlike her two elder brothers who aren’t fussy at all. This little brat is really too hard to raise.

The two sons were now very fair and plump, only she was as thin as a bone. People who knew them would know that she was a picky eater, but those who did not would assume that the parents preferred the boys and were abusing her. In reality, she was the most spoiled child in the entire household.

Yan Huan continued to flip through a pictorial magazine for toddlers, which had tips and tricks to get along with children. The article was very well written. She sat on the floor, and rested her chin gently on her hands, under the warm light streaming in. Her eyes crinkled with her smile, as a bright glimmer peered from her irises.

The youth that has left her, was replaced with warmth and gentleness.

She had let go of her hatred, and opened her heart for forgiveness.

The next day, the morning sun shone bright and the weather was unexpectedly pleasant. At the time of the year, the weather in Sea City would be perfect and sunny. The temperature was moderate and the weather was mild. After a rain, the air throughout Sea City seemed to clear up together with the sky.

Breathing in, the air was invigorating and pleasantly calming.

“Is this the place?” Liu Fang asked Liu Hao, who was behind her.

Liu Hao checked the door number and answered, “Yeah, this is it. Block One, Level 13 East. There is only one Block One here, and only two units each. If it isn’t this one, then it’s that other one. But, the East unit should be this, right?”

He pressed onto the doorbell. Not long later, muffled footsteps could be heard echoing from within the house.

Liu Hao sighed out of relief, at least there was someone home. Yes, it’s great that someone is home. This proves that there are people living here.

The door opened with a click, revealing a middle-aged woman behind it.

“Who are you looking for?” The middle-aged woman eyed the Liu Hao siblings warily as she blocked the entrance, without letting them in.

“Hello,” Liu Hao had ventured into the outside world for some time, so he was not terrified like Liu Fang. Even though he felt a little shy, he could still carry himself. “Mister Lu invited us over.”

“Oh.” The nanny immediately realized who they were and looked at the seemingly stunned Liu Fang. “You are Liu Fang, right?” she said to Liu Fang with a kind smile.

“Yes, I am.” Liu Fang grabbed her clothes nervously, while her palms broke out into a cold sweat.
