Urban Cultivation: The master who has overcome the tribulation is reborn

Lu Yu Niang dragged Xiao Yu'er to the street, and the latter angrily pried her hands apart.

"Stop pulling and tugging!" Xiao Yuer muttered unhappily, with some indescribable cowardice in the depths of her eyes, "Lu, what do you mean by those words just now?"

"Grandma really entrusted me to you?"

Lu Yu Niang's expression froze when she heard this. When the hope in Xiao Yu Er's eyes was about to disappear, she reached out and gently touched her head.

"Yes, your grandmother was most worried about you before she died, so of course she had to find someone reliable to take care of you."

"But you have to call me sister."

Xiao Yuer looked at her suspiciously for a long while before she smiled and said, "Your daughter is already so old, and you still have the nerve to let me call you sister."

"It's better to ask her to call me sister."

Her mood improved for no apparent reason, but she still had doubts about many things she had experienced since childhood.

"Why would my grandma entrust me to you? She should know your family situation very well."

"Even if she thought you were a good person before she died and had no choice but to make this decision, why would you agree to it?"

Xiao Yuer is not a fool. She thinks Lu Yu Niang would not adopt her for no reason.

When asking this question, the girl felt nervous, fearing that the other party might be joking.

Lu Yu Niang looked at Xiao Yu'er, who was like a hedgehog, with some pity, but her expression did not show the slightest bit of emotion. Instead, the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing an inexplicable smile.

"Your grandmother has a treasure at the bottom of the box. This is the condition for me to raise you."

Xiao Yuer bit her lip, but couldn't see any flaws in Lu Yu Niang's expression.

Although she felt disappointed, she also felt it was natural. More importantly, the fear of loss also disappeared.

"If you take me away from Nangang, what will happen to grandma's house?"

Xiao Yuer was smart enough not to ask what the treasure at the bottom of the box was, but instead thought of her old house.

Lu Yu Niang looked around and lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry about the house that your uncle Yuan left me, and your grandmother's house."

"The only useful thing we have is this piece of land. Whether Mr. Liu demolishes it to build a shop or uses it for other businesses is all his business."

Xiao Yuer took a step back upon hearing this and raised her head stubbornly: "No! That's grandma's home, I can't let someone surnamed Liu ruin it."

Fortunately, she knew that there were many people around and she didn't shout at the top of her lungs.

Lu Yu Niang sighed, knowing that Xiao Yu'er's only bond was her grandmother.

After grandma passed away, this bond could only be placed in that old house. It was difficult to understand her decision for the time being.

After a brief thought, she suppressed her temper and explained, "If we don't hand over the house to Mr. Liu, we won't be able to leave Nangang Street."

"I said I won't give it to you, so I won't give it to you!"

Xiao Yuer didn't hesitate at all, with tears in her eyes.

"My grandma wouldn't want me to have no place to stay when I return home."

"I just don't believe he can really cover up everything. If it doesn't work, I'll kneel down in front of the city hall and file a complaint!"

Lu Yu Niang opened her mouth and wanted to say "naive", but when she met Xiao Yu'er's determined gaze, she changed her words.

"Anyway, let's leave Nangang Street first. The house won't get lost if we leave it there. At most, we can just come back every once in a while. Is that okay?"

She really didn't dare to leave Xiao Yuer here alone. Master Liu was famous for his vengeance. He didn't care about the bottom line of the elderly, the weak, the sick or the disabled for anyone who offended him.

Xiao Yuer is a person who cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes. Who knows, she might run into the opponent's trap again in a few days.

Just because the words used to bully others might work today, doesn't mean they will work next time.

After all, Mr. Zhao Wu and Mr. Jiang had nothing to do with them.

A noble person may be kind once in a while, but he won't be kind all the time. When facing a local tyrant like Mr. Liu, the most correct thing to do is to be patient if possible.

Little did she know that Xiao Yu'er looked at the problem from a completely different perspective than she did. There was no such thing as weighing the pros and cons. She just wanted to do what she thought was right.

Protecting the old house left by her grandmother is the only obsession in Xiao Yuer's insecure heart.

Therefore, Lu Yu Niang's words after careful consideration sounded very perfunctory to her ears.

No matter how dumb Xiao Yu'er was, she knew that once she left Nangang Street, it would be basically impossible to get her grandmother's house back.

"My home is right here. If you want to leave, you go. I won't leave!"

She glared at Lu Yu Niang with tears in her eyes, took two steps back, and finally made up her mind to run.

Lu Yu Niang reached out her hand hastily, but failed to even grab the corner of the other person's clothes. She could only watch the thin figure running farther and farther away.

She wanted to chase him, but she knew very well that even if she caught up with Xiao Yuer, it would probably be difficult to change her mind.

So after taking a few steps, he stopped and sighed imperceptibly.

She wanted to take Xiao Yu'er with her, not because of the imaginary treasure, but because she couldn't bear to leave her alone.

This was also due to the help Jiang Ran gave him that day.

She and Xiao Yuer took the other party to see Mr. Liu together, and she finally got the compensation and successfully completed the procedures for becoming a protected household.

Xiao Yuer didn't get any benefit at all, but she didn't feel resentful.

This is a rare quality for a teenager.

Besides, Jiang Ran, an outsider, has compassion. How could she just watch Xiao Yuer live alone in the world without anyone to rely on?

What he said just now was half true and half false. His intention to take Xiao Yuer with him was true, but his intention to steal the imaginary treasure was false.

"If there is no other way, take her away by force."

After standing upright on the street for a long time, Lu Yu Niang suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her eyes and made the decision.

……

Xiao Yuer ran all the way with tears in her eyes, feeling full of grievances.

He ran along Nangang Street to the port, made a big circle, and finally ran into an alley.

There were moss-covered walls on both sides of the alley. When you ran to the end and turned, you would see a circle of curved steps.

The bottom step was submerged in the water, and the top step was where she stood.

Xiao Yuer walked to the rusty protective chain, looked at the rippling water below the dozen steps, and leaned her hands on her cheeks on the stone pillar that fixed the chain, her eyes full of sadness.

There used to be ships traveling here, but unfortunately after the construction of Nandu Port, few ships would dock here.

Perhaps the narrow waterway and the gradually falling water level had already doomed the situation to this fate.

Xiao Yuer didn't think about these problems. She just felt that it was very quiet here and suitable for being alone.

She looked at the water surface with a layer of foam on it, and was somewhat dazed.

It had only been a few days since grandma left, but to her it felt like a long time had passed.

When Lu Yu Niang planned to take her away, it was impossible for her not to be moved.

Xiao Yuer stared into the distance with tears in her eyes for a long time, and the melancholy gradually buried deep in her heart.

Then there was only determination in his eyes, without any hesitation or delay.

Between protecting her grandmother's home and having a new support, she chose the former.

As soon as she made up her mind, Xiao Yuer narrowed her eyes slightly, supported herself on the chain with her hands, and leaned her head forward a little.

"That is……"
