The man couldn’t win the argument, and he couldn’t get close to the girl even though he wanted to fight her. So, in the end, he had no choice but to leave in shame after saying some harsh words.
The two elders, who witnessed the whole process of their granddaughter driving her father out of the house, stood there in a daze, having never expected such a scene to happen.
The beastly son had been making trouble every day these days, and the old couple had no other choice. In addition to missing their granddaughter, they called Yan Han back to discuss with her what to do about the matter.
But they didn’t expect that when the granddaughter came back, she sent the beast away with just two and a half sentences!
After they came to their senses, the two elders quickly welcomed Yan Han into the house. The old lady excitedly ran into the inner room to pour her some water. Seeing that she was carrying a bag on her back, her grandfather took the bag and helped her hold it.
Yan Han did not dare to trouble the old man, so he took it himself, went back to the original owner’s room to put the things down, and then came out to the living room to talk to the two elders.
“Xiao Han, you must be tired from the long bus ride. Drink some water.”
“Thank you, grandma.”
Looking at the old woman with white hair, kind eyes and a broad smile when she saw him, Yan Han somehow thought of his own grandmother.
The calm and composed look on Yan Han’s face as he had just kicked his scumbag father out was gone and his hands were shaking as he took the cup.
He thought it was no wonder that this world was called the Beautiful Dream World.
Because it seemed as if all the beautiful things he had missed were actually regained by him in this world.
“I’m not tired, grandma.” said Yan Han.
“Of course you’re tired. Riding in a bus is the most tiring. Take a rest first. Grandma will make you something delicious!” His grandmother said and went to the kitchen. His Grandpa asked him to sit down and rest for a while, watch TV, and then went to the kitchen to help his grandmother.
As far as he could remember, this was how the old couple had been getting along for so many years.
Yan Han felt a little embarrassed, so he ran over to ask if there was anything he could help with but was sent back by the two elders.
As a last resort, he had to go back to his bedroom, take out his textbooks and exercises and start doing his homework.
He wasn’t tired, but since he hadn’t eaten anything at noon after riding the whole way in the bus, Yan Han was actually a little hungry.
Despite the constant smell of delicious food and his rumbling stomach, Yan Han managed to finish two questions. Suddenly, his door was knocked open and it was his grandfather who walked in with a plate of fruit.
“Are you hungry? Eat some fruit first. There are cakes and biscuits in the living room. If you are really hungry, eat some first and wait for your grandma to finish cooking before eating together.”
“I’m not hungry, thank you grandpa.”
Yan Han said this and quickly raised his hand to take the plate of fruit.
Looking at the books and exercises spread out on the desk, the old man didn’t expect the child to be so diligent and start studying right after returning home. He was pleased but didn’t dare to disturb him. His grandfather thus said, “Then you do your homework first. The food will be ready in a while. If you have any questions, call grandpa.”
“OK.”
After saying that, grandpa walked out of his room and closed the door behind him, as if he was afraid that the sound of cooking outside would disturb him.
He returned to the kitchen and told grandma about the child’s studies, and the old couple immediately started mumbling.
In fact, the elderly were also pleased with the changes in their granddaughter.
The child was a very good child, but unfortunately she had the bad luck to meet such a bad father. It was also their fault for not educating them well… Every time the two old people thought of how a good child was ruined because of her father’s irresponsibility, they felt sad.
But now it seemed that after entering a good high school, especially after the start of this semester, the child seemed to have changed a lot.
The reason why the two elders accepted this change was that although the original owner was very lonely and often bullied at school, in order not to worry them, she never told them how bad her life on campus was.
If she didn’t say it, the old couple could have no idea about this kind of thing and thus always thought that good high schools were different from the schools in the county.
In addition, in order to reassure the two elders, Yan Han also told them about his recent situation when he called them several days in a row. He said that his grades had improved, he could make money by live streaming, and he even made friends…
So they thought it was because of these things that their granddaughter changed.
The two elders thought with great relief.
The dinner was very rich, with stewed chicken, spare ribs, juicy braised hairtail and tomato beef brisket soup.
In addition, there were several vegetarian dishes that filled the table, and they all tasted good.
Yan Han often didn’t have enough to eat when he was in school. It wasn’t because he didn’t have money to eat, but because he didn’t dare to eat too much and arouse suspicion.
Of course, he was also too busy and usually couldn’t devote his energy to eating.
But this time when he got home, he could eat to his heart’s content. Anyway, the old couple would only think that he ate too little and would never complain that he ate too much. So the eldest brother used his chopsticks to sweep away the dishes on the table and added bowl after bowl of rice.
The more he ate, the happier the old couple became. They even said that it was normal for his appetite to increase and that he seemed to have grown taller.
Yan Han tried to defend himself by saying, “It’s not that my appetite has increased, I’m just hungry today.”
“Okay, okay, then you should eat more.” The wrinkles on grandma’s face were all pushed together by her smile. Suddenly she thought of something and said with a distressed tone, “You seem to have lost weight again. Are you not eating well at school? Didn’t grandma tell you that you can eat whatever you want? Don’t be afraid of spending money. Grandpa and grandma can support you no matter what.”
“That’s not the case, Grandma.”
Yan Han didn’t know how to explain it to the two elders. He had said during their previous phone call that he could make money from live streaming. Although it wasn’t a lot of money, an income of 1,800 yuan a month could at least cover his living expenses. The elder brother was not as poor as when he first came into this world.
As for the competitions he participated in, there were no results yet. Yan Han didn’t want to tell anyone before he got the prize money, so as not to disappoint others.
Unfortunately, the two elders didn’t know what live streaming was. They thought their child was doing odd jobs after school to earn money to supplement the family income, so they felt even more distressed when they saw the skinny person.
It was hard to explain over the phone, so Yan Han could only explain it in person. He immediately took out his mobile phone to explain to the two elders what live streaming was and emphasized that his live streaming was really not hard, because the essence was still learning, and learning was what he should do as a student.
“Kid, you can’t study all day long. You have to take care of your health.”
Yan Han; “…”
It was only later that he realized that no matter which method he used to make money, in the eyes of the old couple he would be always have been forced to do so because his family had no money, and it was all equally pitiful.
Then grandma said, “I’ve kept the bonus the school gave you. I don’t know how your dad found out about this and he’s been making trouble every day. But don’t worry, no one can take the money away! I asked you to come back this time because I want to keep some of the money with you. If you keep it at home all the time, you never know what your dad, that beast, will do!”
“Didn’t the school transfer the money directly to your account? Where is grandma’s passbook?” Yan Han asked.
When talking about this, the two elders fell silent at the same time. Yan Han immediately realized that something was wrong. After asking, he found out that the beastly father had come back before and stole the old man’s passbook and ID card.
“Nothing is guaranteed these days, and there’s nothing we can do about him, that bast**d!” Grandpa got angry whenever he thought of his beastly son.
“This is easy. Don’t be angry, Grandpa. Next time he steals something, we will call the police.” Yan Han said.
Speaking of calling the police, the two elders fell silent again. In a small county town, it was not a good idea to call the police for every problem. Besides the fact that family disgrace should not be made public, that person was their son after all. Could they really send him to jail and sentence him? That was unrealistic.
“Why not? He has never supported you or me. From an economic or legal perspective, he is neither your son nor my father. I don’t think we need to condone such a person.”
“You are really sharp-tongued now.” Grandma was amused by him. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. I originally wanted to ask you to come home to have a rest. And so that Grandma could cook a few meals for you. I didn’t expect him to make trouble as soon as you came back. You don’t have to worry about your dad. He can’t do anything to me or your grandfather. Just go to the bank to withdraw this money tomorrow, put it in your own card and take it back to school. Keep it well and don’t spend it carelessly. Grandma believes in you.”
The original owner knew from a young age that her grandparents’ money was hard-earned, so she had always been frugal and saved money for the household expenses and never spent money recklessly.
Because she had always been so well-behaved that it made people feel sympathetic, the old couple trusted her.
Besides, it was not a huge amount of money. The kid next door was given several thousand yuan to travel after his junior high school entrance exam, but their Xiao Han did so well in the high school entrance exam, but she didn’t go anywhere… It was all because they had no money.
This money was earned by the child herself, so it was natural for her to squander it. As long as that beast didn’t take it away to support his mistress, it was fine.
However, Yan Han said: “This money is for you. Grandpa and grandma can buy whatever they want. I don’t want it. I can continue to make money to support you in the future. Don’t save it.”
“Xiao Han…” The two old people looked at each other and were both moved.
This feeling was like when the child whom you had taken good care of suddenly grew up one day and was not only capable but also knew how to repay them. Nothing could make the elders happier than this.
Yan Han continued, “If that scumbag dad…that guy dares to rob or steal, you don’t have to call the police, just tell me and I’ll go find him.”
Maybe what he said was a little unrealistic and naive in the eyes of the two elders, but he was serious.
This time, it was fine. He was used to giving people a chance first, and he really didn’t have the energy to care about it. But if that man fell into his hands again next time…
This eldest brother had never been a merciful person.
Moreover, he only cared about who treated him well. Those who shared the same blood with him but did not treat him as their own child could be complete strangers to him.
He didn’t recognize any relatives.
This wasn’t the first time he’d been told this.
To be honest, Yan Han didn’t care.
