Chapter 1359: Chapter 1181: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Axiang was eating breakfast at the time; a potato slipped from her grasp and fell onto the table. She paused momentarily then slowly picked up the potato and continued eating.

Agen looked back and forth from Axiang to the door, knowing those people were there to take Axiang away. He didn’t open the door, but it was apparent that he was worried about Axiang, looking quite anxious.

Axiang felt a calm she had never experienced before. As she ate, she instructed Agen, "My mom wants me to go back, but it’s all about saving face. Given the way things are now, what face is there to save? She didn’t care about it before, and I don’t care about it now. After things settle down, I’ll have a proper talk with her. After all, she’s still my mom, and I can’t disown her. When she gets old, I’ll still be the one to take care of her."

Agen seemed to understand and nodded his head accordingly.

Later at noontime, there was another knock at the door, but this time it was Xia Dabao’s voice that could be heard.

Axiang hurried to open the door.

Xia Dabao had come by earlier that morning and, seeing the widow Chen guarding outside, she hadn’t come over. This was now her second visit.

As soon as the outer door opened, Xia Dabao smelled the strong scent of soap berries emanating from the spread-out quilts in the yard. All five of them aired out, some with holes that likely needed mending.

Seeing this, Xia Dabao couldn’t help saying, "Axiang, have you really set your heart on living here? Washing quilts and tidying up the house."

Axiang wiped her hands and gave a wry smile, "I have nowhere else to go now. My mother is constantly pushing me to go to the Zhao Family, but that place is a pit of fire I no longer want to stay in. Abao, I remember you supported me yesterday. It’s only been one night; you don’t think I made a wrong decision, do you?"

"Not at all," Xia Dabao quickly replied, "You did exactly the right thing. The fact that you found Agen when you were most heartbroken and distressed shows that Agen brings you happiness. If you’re happy here, why go back? You can’t always think about others; you need to be happy yourself, and then the people around you will be happy, too. When you’re happy, those who wish you ill will be grinding their teeth in frustration, which is why I still support you to this day!"

Axiang looked at Xia Dabao and then nodded again, "Abao, hearing you say that means a lot to me. Your support makes me very happy."

Xia Dabao smiled involuntarily, "This morning I saw your mother come by. I’m guessing Zhao Datu won’t give up that easily and will continue to trouble you. During this time, you must stand firm and never go back because of anything they say or do. Once you get through this period, everything will get better."

At that moment, Agen also came over, and Xia Dabao stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Agen, are you happy being with Axiang?"

Agen was naturally pleased and nodded shyly.

"Then you must protect Axiang well. If any bad guys come to bully her, you hit them hard, beat them until they cry, you got that?" Xia Dabao instructed.

Agen looked at Axiang, as if seeking her approval.

Axiang made no gesture, so Agen took it as her agreement.

"Agen, not only should you protect Axiang, but you also need to care for her. If she’s cold, give her more clothes; if she’s hungry, cook for her; if she’s unhappy, cheer her up. Once you treat her well, she won’t want to leave you. Even if you ask her to leave, she won’t," Xia Dabao continued to advise Agen.

As they were speaking, someone knocked on the door again.

This time it was Long Aixi’s voice, "Dabao, are you in there?"
