The next day, Bai Yue began living a fairy-tale life.
The old lady really treated her well, getting up early in the morning to prepare food for a few of them, sending Haishun off to school, and once they were off to the store, she would clean everything inside and outside the house until it was spotless.
Erniu, because Wang Yan insisted on keeping him and not letting him go, since he was short-handed himself, had Erniu help oversee the renovations of the new store.
They were busy until the end of the year approached, and then Wang Yan bought Erniu bags of gifts, large and small, allowing Erniu to finally go back home.
The old man didn't realize that Erniu, indeed, had entertained the idea of leaving. Watching his brother's prosperous life in the city, and then considering their own lives, guarding those few dozen pigs at home, especially this summer when an outbreak of swine fever killed many, leaving only a few behind.
His heart ached terribly.
