Chapter 4 – Rescuing the Black-Hearted (part 4)

After Bai Qing Qing borrowed the flatbed tricycle, Li Su used the strength of 962 tigers to shove Bai Yun Shan onto the flatbed tricycle.
Li Su was tired.
“He’s so fat!”

Afterwards, she looked at Bai Qing Qing.
“You shouldn’t go.
Do your homework and don’t run around.
Don’t walk with strangers, okay? If you are bored, then go find your classmates to play with.
Your mum has prepared lunch for you.
You know how to heat it up.
If I come back and find that the kitchen has burned down, I’ll break your legs!”

“Grandma, I’ll go with you!” said Bai Qing Qing as she watched Li Su change into a tattered dress.

“We are going to beg for food.
You’re just a little girl.
Isn’t the most important thing saving face? Don’t bother,” Li Su said blankly.
“I am already old, so something like face is worthless to me.
Okay, that’s it.
I’m leaving.
Close the door!”

Even though grandma was as harsh as ever, it was for her own good!

Bai Qing Qing didn’t want to stay at home alone.
The events that happened over the last 2 days were like a roller coaster.
She really needed to share this with someone.
So, she packed her schoolbag and went to the house of her best friend, Chen Tian Tian.

“Qing Qing, have you come to play with Tian Tian? Go in, Tian Tian is inside!” It was Mother Chen who opened the door and let her in.
She was a gentle woman who smiled at Bai Qing Qing.

“Thank you, Mother Chen,” Bai Qing Qing greeted politely.

“Tian Tian!”

“Qing Qing!”

When the two good friends were together, they would talk non-stop.
Bai Qing Qing told Chen Tian Tian what had happened in the last 2 days.

Chen Tian Tian bit her lip.
“Does it matter how your grandma changed? Isn’t this a good thing? I really want to have a grandma too!”

“Do you think so, Tian Tian? I also think that my grandma has become too good now.
I like the current grandma!” Bai Qing Qing was actually a little jealous of Chen Tian Tian.
They were the same age and had a similar family background.
The current Chen family wasn’t as good as the previous Bai family, but why was the family atmosphere of the Chen family so good? Although Father Chen was reticent, he took good care of his wife and doted on his daughter.
Mother Chen was gentle like water, but she was a decisive woman.
As for Tian Tian, she was a good girl who grew up under the love and care of her parents.

Unlike herself.
When she compared herself to Tian Tian, nothing was as good as Tian Tian.

But now it was different.
She had an awesome grandma! Bai Qing Qing felt that things had finally balanced out.
She was excited.

Bai Qing Qing had lunch with the Chen family.
Although the Chen family was poor, the atmosphere surrounding the family was good.
In the past, Bai Qing Qing was jealous, but now she wasn’t.
She remembered when she had breakfast with grandma this morning.
Although grandma didn’t speak, she had put delicious food into her bowl.

Grandma also cared about me.
Grandma has a sharp mouth but a soft heart and didn’t know how to express herself.
That must be it! Bai Qing Qing was filled with joy.

Around 6 o’clock, Wang Fang cooked dinner for her employer’s family and then hurried back home, even though her employer wanted her to stay.
She was very worried.
She didn’t know if Yun Shan took his medicine on time.

When she got back, she found that only Bai Qing Qing was at home doing homework.

“Where is your dad? And your grandma?” Wang Fang was so scared that she almost fainted.

“This morning, grandma took dad out…” Bai Qing Qing said.

Li Su’s voice interrupted as she called from outside, “Open the door!”

Wang Fang and Bai Qing Qing hurriedly went to open the door.
There stood Li Su with Bai Yun Shan.
They helped move Bai Yun Shan to the bed and Bai Qing Qing went to return the flatbed tricycle.
Li Su then sat down and drank some water.
Although she wasn’t tired at all, she had to pretend she was.

“Mum, what is going on?” Wang Fang was very distressed upon seeing Bai Yun Shan’s pale face.

“It’s fine.
I took him to the overpass to beg for food.
This guy is too fat.
If he was skinnier, it would have had a better effect.
We will change the place tomorrow and go to the next town.” Li Su wiped the corners of her mouth.
Was it easy being a mother? For the sake of her XXXX son, there were 10,000 easy ways to make money, but she chose the most tiring one.

“Wh-what? Begging?” Wang Fang couldn’t believe her ears.

“Yeah.
When I went out this morning, I forgot to bring the painkillers.
This guy was in pain, so he yelled.
The effect was pretty good.
Many people thought we were liars at first, but when they heard him yelling, they believed us,” Li Su said happily.

“Grandma, how much money did you make in a day?” Bai Qing Qing asked excitedly.

“Not much.” Li Su took out a stack of banknotes from her pocket.
People in the 1990s were still very simple.
If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t make it, nobody would go on the streets and beg for food.
Therefore, nobody doubted them.
Unlike in the 21st century, where begging had become a profession.
People’s kindness had been taken advantage of too many times that they were now numb to it.

“So much!” Bai Qing Qing’s eyes lit up.
“Grandma, I will go with you tomorrow.
I am a child so others will sympathise with us more.”

“Qing Qing, what are you talking about? This is deceiving people! How can you do such a thing?” Wang Fang was very angry.

Li Su glanced over and Wang Fang immediately stopped talking.
Li Su then turned to look at Bai Qing Qing.
“Begging on the street is not an easy thing.
You have to endure the disgust in people’s eyes.
Can you bear it?”

Bai Qing Qing thought for a moment before she nodded solemnly.
“I can bear it.”

Li Su smiled.
“Forget it.
I will take your dad to the street to beg for food.
I just want your dad to show some value.
He shouldn’t get used to staying at home doing nothing.
Plus, what your mum said makes sense.
After all, we are deceiving people.
Children should not deceive people.
I’ll wait for your dad’s legs to heal, I will take him to go pick up scraps.
If you are willing to go with us, then you can come.”

“Mum!” Wang Fang yelled weakly.
“I can do a few more jobs, so don’t make Yun Shan and Qing Qing suffer.”

“Were you kicked in the head by a donkey? How is this suffering? This is exercise! Why, do you want to let this cripple drink and gamble? How much is too much for you?!” Li Su scolded mercilessly.

“But Yun Shan’s leg is still injured,” Wang Fang said, as if unable to bear it.

“When his legs have healed, can you control him?” Li Su asked as she rolled her eyes.

Bai Qing Qing also looked serious.
“Mum, I think what grandma said is reasonable.
Didn’t grandma already say it? From now on, grandma will manage the family.
You should just listen to grandma.
Dad is grandma’s own son.
Could grandma harm him? There is a saying that to love someone is to be responsible for them and do things for their own good.
Grandma is doing this for dad’s own good.
Mum, don’t you want dad to reform himself so we can live as before?”

Wang Fang had always been a submissive person, not saying much.
Now that her daughter had the same mindset, she had nothing to say.
“This… So it’s like this.
Then, we’ll listen to mum.
Just… Mum, just take the painkillers tomorrow when you go out.
And, what do you want to eat for lunch, mum?”

“Oh, there were some kind people who brought two steamed buns, and someone else gave us a bottle of water,” said Li Su.
Some kind people did actually give some steamed buns and water, but she couldn’t eat the dry steamed buns, so she secretly went to buy a roast chicken to gnaw on.

“How can I let you do that? Mum, how can you eat steamed buns!” Wang Fang teared up immediately.
“I will cook some food for mum to take tomorrow.”

“Are you stupid? If we are begging, then the more pitiful we look, the better! If we bring food with us, then who would believe us?!” Li Su cursed.

If Bai Qing Qing heard such words in the past, then she would have been full of indignation.
She would have thought that her grandma was humiliating her mum.
But now, Bai Qing Qing thought that her grandma made sense.

“It is hard work for grandma,” said Bai Qing Qing.

Li Su glanced at Bai Qing Qing.
“You are feeling distressed for your grandma? It means that you still have a conscience.
Girl, come here.
Do you blame your grandma for the treatment you and your mum received before?”

“I know that you did it for our own good.
You wanted to train us, but we let you down,” Bai Qing Qing said righteously.

Li Su felt that this girl was quite advanced for her age.
She couldn’t see her turning black-hearted in the future.
But, how old was she? She had to be careful.
She was just a little girl, so it was natural for her psychological state to change over time.
She had not yet started to darken.

“It’s good that you know.
I am old and will die sooner or later.
How you live in the future will depend on you.
If your mother is like this, then you can’t count on her.
Qing Qing, our family will need to depend on you in the future.
You need to study hard, go to a good university, find a good job, and show us some consideration in the future.
As for your dad… Don’t worry.
Before I die, I will reform him.
I will not let him drag you down.”

This time, not only was Wang Fang moved to tears, but also Bai Qing Qing.
It turned out that her grandma had such good intentions.
She had misunderstood her previously! “Grandma, don’t worry.
I will definitely study hard and make a lot of money in the future so that you can live a good life!”

Li Su laughed and thought that, so long as Bai Qing Qing didn’t become black-hearted, then it would be of great help to her.

There was a harmonious atmosphere among the three of them.
Bai Yun Shan, who was lying on the bed, woke up hungry.
“Man, I’m hungry and thirsty.
Get me something quickly.”

Wang Fang didn’t have time to wipe away her tears before she rushed over.
“Yun Shan, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Is it okay if I cook a bowl of egg noodles for you?”

Bai Yun Shan opened his mouth to curse, as was his habit.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the old witch who had possessed his mother’s body look at him coldly.
Bai Yun Shan was so frightened that he couldn’t speak.

The old witch was cruel.
His leg hurt and she didn’t give him painkillers.
She even went so far as to secretly pinch him so that he would cry out in pain.
For lunch, she went to eat roast chicken while he had to have the dry steamed buns.

Of course he knew.
He could smell the roast chicken.

Those events made him certain that this old witch was definitely not his mother.
His mother could not bear to do this to him.

But, the difference in power between them was too great.
He couldn’t beat the old witch.
Currently, it seemed that Wang Fang and that damned girl were fooled by the old witch.
Nobody was helping him, so he could only swallow his anger and wait.

Hmph, he would wait for his legs to heal.
Hmph!

Bai Yun Shan was angry.
“I don’t want to eat egg noodles.
I want to eat roast chicken!”
