Sky looked at grandpa, but he still refused, "Grandpa, I have reserved a taxi last night. I am in a hurry. I
am so sorry."
Grandpa could understand what he was thinking about and it took time to get out of the sorrow.
Grandpa said, "Wait a minute."
Grandpa hurried back to the kitchen, opened the pot and put several steamed buns into a clean bag.
Then, he came up to Sky and handed him the bag.
"Remember to eat them. Don't get hungry!" Grandpa tapped his hand.
"Thank you." Sky carried the bag gratefully, "Grandpa, take care and see you!"
"See you and good luck, Sky."
Grandpa saw him to the door. Sky bowed to grandpa and left reluctantly.
Grandpa waved to him and looked after him. Until he disappeared at the corner, grandpa stood there
for a moment with tears in his eyes.
Rose came up, "Grandpa!"
"Okay. I understand." Grandpa comforted Rose, "Bright is a good man and deserves your love. As for
Sky, he will have his own fate. Cherish what you have now. Don't push away someone you love as he
did, or you will regret."
Rose was silent. Nothing was more important than being understood by grandpa.
"Okay, I got it." Rose had changed her opinion, "I will cherish this marriage and also Bright."
Rose looked up. What she saw was only Bright running back down the country road.
Grandpa felt relieved, turned around and left.
Rose was still seeing him approaching at the door until he came up to her.
Bright was sweaty and sweat poured down his forehead.
"You must be tired." Rose smiled.
"I am not familiar with this place, so I just ran nearby. It doesn't matter." Bright caught her hand and
walked into the courtyard.
Rose got him his towel, "Dry your sweat."
Bright took the towel and wiped his forehead and neck.
"Sky has left." Rose initiated the talk.
"Oh?" Bright didn't stop wiping. It seemed that he was not surprised at the news.
"Why aren't you astonished?" Seeing him so quiet, Rose wondered why he was not excited by the
departure of the rival.
Maybe he was just pretending to be calm. After all, he was so mellow, but his heart might be bursting
with joy.
"If I were him, I would have gone sooner than now." He put the towel away, "I don't want to watch
others show affection. It is too embarrassing! Why bother?"
Rose didn't reply and walked into the bedroom to wake up Doris.
Bright helped grandpa bring the breakfast down to the lobby, set chopsticks and pour the porridge into
several bowls.
Grandpa, Rose and Doris sat down to have breakfast.
After breakfast, grandpa went to work in the fields and Rose tidied up the table and kitchen.
When Bright was playing with Doris in the courtyard, he got a phone call and returned to the lobby.
Then, someone was knocking at the door. It was so loud and urgent that it seemed there was
something happening.
Doris ran to open the door. It was a woman in her fifties, who looked fierce.
Seeing the door opened, she shouted, "Come out! Rose."
She kept shouting and walked into the courtyard. In the meanwhile, Rose finished cleaning up and
came out of the kitchen. When seeing her, Rose said, "Ms. Loris, are you looking for me?"
"Rose, you are a city dweller, right? Do you think Dudley is a fool? So you tricked him into coming here
every day and bringing something to you? He nearly emptied the house for you!" Loris accused her
angrily.
Rose explained, "I have given back all the things to him and I didn't take anything."
"How can I believe you? Do you have any idea how much those things are worth?" Loris raised her
eyebrows, looking unconvinced.
"How much do you want?" Bright ended the call early and went over to Rose, staring at Loris.
Though his stare was peaceful, Loris still felt shocked.
Swallowing, Loris pretended to be calm and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am her husband!" Bright put his arms around Rose' s shoulder and held Doris, "This is our daughter."
Loris was shocked and angry, shouting, "How dare you! You have got married, so why did you seduce
my poor Dudley? Shame on you! Fuck you!"
"Mind your words!" Bright restrained himself from quarrelling with her, "Go back and ask your son!"
"Do you think he can be bullied easily?" Loris put her hands on her waist and said, "Let me tell you! I
won't leave until you compensate us!"
"This is enough!" Bright generously handed her a wad of cash.
Looking at the red cash, Loris calmed down immediately. There was a smile on her face, with her
hands reaching for the money.
Bright took back the money in a flash and Loris didn't even touch it. He said discontentedly, "What do
you mean?"
He continued, "If you want to take the money, say sorry to my wife first!"
"Fine!" She agreed for the sake of the money. She looked at Rose and said, "I am so sorry. I was just
talking nonsense. As you know, I was uneducated, so please don't take it to heart."
Her attitude changed so fast!
Rose smiled, "Never mind!"
Bright gave her the money. Loris smiled more happily. Bright said, "It has been over. If I hear you talk
nonsense later, I will let you pay me back double the money! Is that clear?"
"Get it! I won't say a word!" Loris was so happy that she began counting the money.
She glanced at them halfway through the count and put the money into her bag, "I will just go back and
pretend I haven't been here today."
She was greedy and calculative, but it would be easy to deal with her.
"You have given her a lot, right?" Rose knew it was large when seeing the wad of money.
"Problems that can be solved with money are not problems." He couldn't care less about the money, as
long as things could be solved easily.
Rose was about to say something and the door was opened in a hurry.
