The midday sun in August was as intense as a burning flame, with not a single cloud obscuring the sky, and golden rays pierced down like sharp swords.

"Hua Yuansheng? Is this Hua Yuansheng's home?"

The unfamiliar shouts startled Liang Ruotao from her sleep.

Seeing her younger sister frowning, Liang Ruotao gently patted her back and tiptoed into the courtyard.

"Peach? Peach! Come with me right now, your dad drank pesticide and is dying!"

Liang Ruotao was stunned by the news.

The newcomer urged, "What are you standing there for? Where's your sister?"

"Wait! You said Liang Yongchang drank pesticide? Why?" Liang Ruotao asked incredulously.

The newcomer chuckled twice, and under Liang Ruotao's sharp gaze, slowly said:

"Isn't it because the villagers heard that your stepmother ran away with all the money in the house?"

Some curious people went up to your father and asked him a few questions, and who knew, they started arguing..."

After the visitor finished speaking, he urged repeatedly, "Where's Pear? Quickly call your sister along too."

"Your father drank pesticide and was on his last breath. He kept calling out for you two sisters."

Daughter, your father is not good, but this may be the last time we see each other.

No matter what, he gave birth to you two. It wouldn't be right for you two sisters not to be there for his final farewell!

This news came too suddenly.

Not to mention Liang Ruotao, even Liang Yili's mind went blank for a few moments.

Is Liang Yongchang going to die?

really?

It's said that good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. Why is Liang Yongchang going to die now?

Liang Yili narrowed her eyes: "You saw him drink pesticide with your own eyes?"

"Then there is still a holiday?"

After saying that, the person reached out to grab the two sisters' arms.

Liang Yili had a feeling something was wrong.

"What are you doing? What are you doing! Who are you! How dare you come to our Huajia Village to snatch a child in broad daylight!"

Hua'anshan rushed in from the gate of the courtyard.

When Liang Ruotao and her sister saw Hua Anshan arrive, they pushed their bicycles and ran out.

"I'm going to find my maternal grandfather!"

Once outside, Liang Yili grabbed a child and asked, "Do you know where my grandfather is? Quickly call him back and tell him that people from Liangjia Village have come."

"Pear, be careful on the road!"

Liang Yili nodded emphatically: "You be careful too!"

After saying that, Liang Yili quickly rode her bicycle out of the village.

Liang Ruotao stared at her departing figure, then turned and walked towards the Hua'an Yan family's residence.

She wouldn't allow anyone to disrupt her and her sister's peaceful life.

……

When the group arrived at the hospital, they had just reached the floor where Liang Yongchang was located when they saw a village official with a beaming face running over.

"He's been saved! Luckily he was brought in in time, and he's alright."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ruotao tightened her grip on the cloth bag she was holding.

"Peach, your father has been calling out your and your sister's names. He's awake now, so hurry in and see him!"

Liang Ruotao sneered inwardly, thinking it was the funniest joke she had ever heard in her life.

"Which ward is he in?"

After receiving a reply from the village officials, Liang Ruotao strode into the ward.

After only a casual glance at Liang Yongchang, who was leaning weakly against the bed, Liang Ruotao's gaze quickly fell on Li Dong.

To be honest, this was the first time she had ever met this half-brother!

Seeing his brand-new clothes and watch, a shadow crossed Liang Ruotao's eyes.

Liang Yongchang's heart skipped a beat.

Liang Ruotao had already slipped behind Li Dong and pulled a large cleaver from the cloth bag she was holding in her chest.

Everyone was startled by Liang Ruotao's actions.

"Peach, what are you doing?"

Liang Ruotao held the kitchen knife tightly against Li Dong's neck and shouted sternly, "Back off! All of you, back off!"

"You damned ingrate, let go of my grandson, ugh..."

The village official quickly covered Wang Pandi's mouth and said, "What are you doing, girl..."

"Knives don't have eyes! All of you, step back! Uncle Village Chief, could you please help Liang Yongchang up? Come with me!"

Hua Anyan helped Liang Yongchang and followed Liang Ruotao step by step to the rooftop.

"Stop! Don't come any closer!"

Liang Ruotao stopped everyone and guided Li Dong to slowly walk towards the edge.

Hua Anyan was also frightened: "Peach, you can't go any further!"

"You're going to fall if you keep going! Look at your grandpa, you absolutely mustn't do anything foolish!"

“Peach, Grandpa knows you’re suffering, but you’re only a teenager. You have a long and wonderful life ahead of you! Listen to me, let’s put the knife down, okay?” Hua Yuansheng urged.

Liang Ruotao smiled and said, "A good life? With Liang Yongchang around, can I really live a good life?"

Liang Yongchang, didn't you already sever ties with me?

You got swindled out of all your money by a woman, what does it have to do with me if you drink pesticide?

You're about to die, so you need me to come over?

Why?

Just because you're going to die, does that mean all the hurt you've done to me is wiped clean?

What do you mean, no matter how bad your dad is, he's still your dad?

Why should I have to forgive and forget about him just because he gave birth to me, and endure his scheming?

Was it the pesticide I made you drink?

Or was it someone I asked you to steal?

You don't want to support me and my sister? Fine! We'll earn our own money to go to school.

But with the help of my fellow villagers, I finally had some money and was able to go to school.

Is this all you're going to do to me?

You called me here today, can you honestly say that you're not after our money and the prescription?

Grandpa, when will this end?

Just because he's my father, do I have to swallow my pride and bear it?

The thought of being constantly harassed by him like this makes me want to die.

Liang Ruotao became more and more agitated as she spoke, and the knife she held to Li Dong's neck tightened even more.

A fishy, ​​pungent smell wafted over, and Li Dong's pants became wet.

Liang Yongchang was frightened by Liang Ruotao's manic state.

Fearing she might get agitated and actually jump off the building with Li Dong, he quickly said:

"I don't want your money, and I don't want your prescription."

"You even wrote me a letter severing ties with me before! But it didn't work, did it?"

"Dad, save me..."

Meanwhile, Liang Yili, who was rushing to the hospital with the village chief of Liangjia Village, kept having her eyelids twitching.

Before even reaching the hospital, I could see a familiar figure standing on the rooftop in the distance.

Liang Yili's heart leaped into her throat.

On the rooftop, Liang Dajiang stared intently at Liang Ruotao with his cloudy eyes: "What do you want from me to let Dongdong go?"

"I'm severing ties with my family in the newspaper! I want to take the surname Hua!"
