You rascal, stop right there!

Chapter 26 A stranger visits the Bai family residence (thanks to the book friend Sui Yu Ning)

The sun sets.

Bai Wan supported Chen Yu to the shabby house where he lived in the border town. Looking at the dilapidated roof, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Chen Er, when did your roof break? Why don't you fix it?!"

Chen Yu chuckled: "Boss, we don't have any money!"

A certain man looked at the large and small basins at the door, as well as the rainwater collected a few days ago. It was really horrible. He touched his worn-out pocket, which only had a dozen copper coins.

Looking at the broken tiles on Chen Yu’s roof, the dark clouds in the sky, and the dull pain in his knees, it seemed that a heavy rain was coming.

"Looking at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to rain. You can stay at my house first. After a few days when you guys are well again, we can come together to fix your roof!"

Bai Wan patted his shoulder with an imposing manner.

As the boss, he should take good care of all his younger brothers.

Chen Yu burst into tears of gratitude: "Boss, I, Chen Er, am so grateful to be your little brother!"

Snapped--

A man hit the guy hard on the head.

"Stop talking nonsense. Your ancestors were officials. If your father hadn't failed the imperial examination and could only be a teacher, you would be doing much better than me, your elder brother!"

Bai Wan looked at him blankly. Chen Yu was the only one among this group of ruffians who could read. He was much better than herself who was illiterate.

If he hadn't accidentally saved this guy who was cheated by Fan Yazi and almost beaten up by a group of people, he wouldn't have this little brother.

After that, Chen Yu claimed to be the second gangster in Baiyun City, so it was natural to call him Chen Er.

"Don't say that, boss. Maybe your ancestors were high-ranking officials as well! You just don't remember it!" Chen Yu said earnestly.

"Stop flattering me! Maybe my father is a bandit and my mother is a thief. I might even have been a notorious thief in the past!"

Bai Wandou smiled helplessly and led the way, wanting to take Chen Yu to his own thatched cottage.

Since he woke up five years ago, he has been a man without a past. According to his own words, he is a banknote that has become a blank piece of paper. Therefore, compared with other ruffians, he is always pessimistic.

He even envied his other younger brothers, at least they all had a family and a past.

Chen Yu was the ruffian he envied the most. Not only could he read and write, but he also had parents. Although they had passed away long ago, at least he knew where their graves were.

Not like him!

A useless person who has no past, doesn't know who he is, and doesn't know who his parents are.

If Old Man Bai hadn't saved and adopted him, he would have been like a weed on the roadside, with no one paying attention to him.

At this time, Chen Yu pointed to the thatched house not far away:

"By the way, Boss, Father Bai has been visiting his family in Jiangzhou for a month, right? Shouldn't he be back by now?"

When Bai Wan heard this, she was obviously delighted, but then she became nervous again.

Because he was imprisoned last month for causing the loss of Mr. Ma's donkey pen, the government did not issue him a travel permit, so he was unable to go out with them.

"This... I promised my father that I would find a proper job before he comes back. This..."

"Aren't you working in the Orchid Garden?" Chen Yu asked.

"What kind of job is that?" Bai Wan immediately shook his head.

Although helping people taste food was not a respectable job, he originally just wanted to get close to Ling Zichen and ask him about his background. As long as he knew who he was, he would leave immediately.

Just as he was hesitating, Chen Yu next to him spoke:

"Boss...Look, there seems to be someone in the hut!"

Bai Wan took a look and suddenly realized something was wrong!

If Old Man Bai had returned home, there wouldn't be smoke rising from the kitchen so early. There's no reason for that. Unless -

With a snap, Bai Wan pushed open the fence in the yard.

Instead, he saw an old man with gray hair and a youthful face, wearing a grey robe. He looked like an immortal and was looking at him with a smile on his face.

But Bai Wan didn't know this person at all.
