592 There’s a Way

“You’re right. Everything is predestined. Then meeting me, the descendent of Minggu, is also their fate. Isn’t she very skilled? I want to see if she can cure an incurable illness!”

Su Xiaolu wiped Little Niu’s tears and a trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes.

“Junior Brother, don’t cry. You will definitely live for the next twelve years. You will live to be a hundred years old. Uncle-Master Niu will be fine.”

Su Xiaolu comforted Little Niu.

Tears welled up in Little Niu’s eyes. He hugged Su Xiaolu and cried. “Senior Sister, it’s too late. Master, Master has already given up…”

The Master who had raised him, the kind and warm Master, the Master who had always coaxed him and made him eat food, would never be here again.

What right did he have to meet such a good mother and Master? One fought for him for the first twelve years, and the other fought for him for the second twelve years.

Even if it was full of variables and they might not succeed, they had fought for him.

But from now on, no one would love him as much as they did. He would never have such good people again.

“Junior Brother, then you should live well. You have to pull yourself together and cheer up. Come with me in the future. I’ll take care of you.”

Su Xiaolu patted Little Niu’s back and comforted him.

Little Niu and Uncle-Master Niu made her feel as if she had seen another version of herself.

In her previous life, she and her old Master were like this.

Naturally, she wanted to treat Little Niu well. She wanted him to eat well and wear warm clothes. She knew that his life was tough, but she wanted him to live well.

Su Xiaolu pushed Little Niu away and took out some dry food from the cloth bag. She took a deep breath and threw the sesame seed cake at Little Niu. Then, she said fiercely, “Stinky beggar, this is for you.”

Since she couldn’t give too much openly, it should be fine like this. If she threw it on the ground and didn’t want it, Little Niu would pick it up and eat it. It wouldn’t be against the will of heaven, right?

Su Xiaolu was really fierce. Little Niu was stunned.

Gui You and Old Wu, who came out of the house, were also stunned by this scene.

“Why didn’t we think of that? Why didn’t we think of that?”

Old Wu clapped his hands and cheered. They only knew that Elder Niu and Little Niu were poor and were destined to not be able to eat their fill or wear warm clothes. If they lived a good life for a while longer, they would starve for a long time.

However, it was something that others didn’t want. It was originally something that was meant for charity. This couldn’t be punished by the heavens, right?

“Thank you, benefactor.”

Little Niu was also stunned for a moment. Then, he came back to his senses. He hugged the pancake and took two big bites before quickly running into the house.

They were poor, and Elder Niu was unwilling to be associated with beggars. He was unwilling to beg, and he was even more unwilling to drag his friends down.

Moreover, there weren’t that many good people in the world who would easily give them food when they needed it.

But things would be different in the future.

“Master, let’s buy this place and build a shed for Uncle-Master Niu. Let Uncle-Master Niu recuperate and get lost quickly. How about that?”

Su Xiaolu said to Old Wu. If this place belonged to them, she could arrange it however she wanted in her own house. In order not to disregard human lives, it was reasonable for her to chase the patient out and build a shed. She was a good person. How could she do something like bullying people and disregarding human lives?

“I see beautiful mountains and clear water here. This is a good move. In the future, when I’m old and can’t walk anymore, I’ll come here to retire. I still have to plan this well.”

Old Wu stroked his beard and said meaningfully.

Little Niu was feeding Uncle-Master Niu.

Uncle-Master Niu waved his hand. “Kid, you eat it. It’s already settled. Master won’t eat anymore.”

If he wanted to block the calamity for his child, he had to make a sacrifice. His life could not be saved.

Right now, he only wanted to persuade Little Niu to agree to that matter.

However, Little Niu shook his head and said firmly, “Master, if you don’t want to eat, then I won’t eat either. Since I shouldn’t have survived, I’ll return this life to the heavens.”

“Kid… you…”

Uncle-Master Niu was very helpless.

“Master, apart from my mother, you’re the person who loves me the most in the world. I really want you to live a long life and watch me grow up. This is already going against my wishes. You even want me to kill you personally and sacrifice you. How can I do that? If I do this, then I’m not worthy of your love for these twelve years. What’s the difference between me and that prostitute?”

“Master, I beg you to eat these. These are things that others don’t want. I picked them up. This way, there shouldn’t be Heavenly Punishment, right?”

Tears streamed down Little Niu’s face as he begged bitterly. The heavens were inflexible. Since it acknowledged that evil people could change their fates and defy the heavens, it also acknowledged that he could pick up things that others didn’t want, eat them and live on. Living well was the right thing to do.

After all, he did not steal or rob, nor did he do anything evil.

“Isn’t it just twelve years? Instead of entrusting it to someone else, it’s better to watch it yourself.”

Old Wu had come in at some point. He raised his head coldly.

“Now that we have a solution, why aren’t you eating? Do you want your child to be worried to death?”

Old Wu rolled his eyes at Elder Niu.

Little Niu had tears in his eyes. He couldn’t see, but he could see in his heart.

Old Niu’s heart ached. In the end, he softened his heart. Forget it, he would stay for two more days.

Little Niu only smiled when he was willing to open his mouth.

“Kid—”

After eating half a piece of pancake and drinking some water, Elder Niu looked much better. He called out to Little Niu.

Little Niu revealed a smile and said, “Master, we will all be alive. Now that there’s a way, you don’t have to do that for me. Now that the tears of blessing are gone, I will accumulate them again. Master, you must get better. I still want to see the light again. I want to see Master’s appearance.”

The tears of blessing that he had accumulated for twelve years were snatched away by that heartless man and prostitute. He was still poor, but now there was hope. As long as he endured for another twelve years and accumulated again, he would succeed.

“Your Master is so ugly. He has a pockmarked face and his eyes are bigger than a frog’s. His nose is like a green bean. As for his mouth, it’s like a horse’s mouth with a mouthful of black teeth. Tsk… It’s better not to look at him. Otherwise, you’ll have to spend your life healing your eyes.”

Old Wu snorted and commented on Elder Niu.

Little Niu smiled and said, “I’m not afraid. A person’s appearance is just a skeleton, and in the end, it’s all bones. A person’s appearance is superficial. My Master is kind and treats me the best. In my heart, he’s good-looking no matter what.”

“Haha… Old Wu, forget it. You still want to sow discord between me and my child. Hmph!”

Elder Niu was overjoyed and regained some of his vitality. His smile was warm and kind.

Old Wu snorted. “Hmph! You’re so ugly. Just wait and see. When your kid sees you, he’ll definitely despise you for being old and ugly.”

“Aren’t you also an old man? Even your little girl should despise you.”

Elder Niu shook his head and felt warmth in his heart. With these few close friends around, he felt at ease. They had already thought of a way. His child might not have a hard time in the next twelve years.
