In a cemetery on the outskirts of City D, Bai Zehui knelt upright in front of a new grave and kowtowed three times.

Sleeping in it was her master and life-saving benefactor - Lao Li, who led Bai Zehui on a new path in life.

Bai Zehui is an orphan, and she was thrown at the door of the orphanage by someone who doesn't know how to count nine cold days, and it was the kind orphanage director Aunt Bai who took her back to the orphanage to raise her.

The living conditions in the orphanage are very difficult, and the sensible Bai Zehui has been doing the chores he can with his older brothers and sisters who grew up in the orphanage since he was a child.

At first, she could only help with errands, cleaning the room, picking vegetables and washing vegetables, and when she grew up, she began to help with cooking and laundry, taking care of the vegetable patch, and taking care of her younger siblings.

When she was sixteen or seventeen years old, she began to work everywhere in addition to her studies, earning money to subsidize Aunt Bai, the director of the orphanage, who was so kind to her.

It was in this process that she accidentally got acquainted with Lao Li, who is now lying in the grave.

At that time, Lao Li had just left the special forces, and he retired because he injured his leg while performing a mission, and after returning to D City, he just found the most ordinary job and received a salary that would be enough for him to make ends meet.

Lao Li's parents have passed away, and he has not married a wife or had children after being a soldier for many years, so for a long time, he has been in a state of "one person is full, and the whole family is not hungry".

If it weren't for accidentally saving Bai Zehui, who was almost hit by a car and dying, and being pestered by her to teach "kung fu", Lao Li might have lived so leisurely for the rest of his life.

But since he was entangled by Bai Zehui, Lao Li has lived a painful and happy life.

At first, he couldn't help being pestered by Bai Zehui, so he made up his mind to train this little girl fiercely, so that she could retreat.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Bai Zehui turned out to be a very hard-working person, obviously the daily training sessions made her tired, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

In the end, it was Lao Li himself who couldn't bear it first.

And in addition to being unbearable, he also had a little more heartfelt appreciation for Bai Zehui.

This thin and beautiful little girl has a kind of perseverance and tenacity that he is very familiar with, which makes Lao Li can't help but think back to the days he spent in the army.

I don't know when it began, Lao Li never deliberately felt sorry for Bai Zehui, he used his free time to teach Bai Zehui seriously.

When Bai Zehui turned eighteen, he even personally recommended her to his old comrades-in-arms.

And Bai Zehui did not waste Lao Li's hard work in vain, although she is a woman, her performance in the army is better than many male soldiers.

Lao Li, who has long regarded her as his junior, is very proud of this, and every time Bai Zehui tells him what he has done and what awards he has won, he will show off with those old comrades-in-arms with honor.

Although Bai Zehui herself is low-key, she is happy to satisfy Lao Li's desire to "show off".

In addition, she also divided her surplus monthly money into two parts, one of which naturally continued to be given to Aunt Bai in the orphanage, and the other was used by her to honor Lao Li, who was also kind to her.

Lao Li knew that she had a hard time since she was a child, so she refused to accept her big subsidies or small supplements.

Although Bai Zehui usually always looks like she is grinning and heartless, in fact, she also has a stubborn temper in her bones, once she recognizes something, it is really nine cows that can't be pulled back.

Take the matter of filial piety to Lao Li as an example, because she decided in her heart that this was what she should do, so no matter what Lao Li said, she would devote herself to sending money to Lao Li's bank card on a monthly basis - even if Lao Li resolutely refused to spend even a penny on her over the years, she still went her own way.

The master and apprentice quarreled a lot about this, but in the end, neither of them could convince anyone.

If Lao Li hadn't been suddenly diagnosed with stomach cancer more than a year and two months ago, I was afraid that the money would not have been spent until Lao Li died.

Lao Li is an open-minded person, and he doesn't have much obsession with living, in his opinion, his life is wonderful enough, even if he dies immediately, he won't lose anything, so if it weren't for Bai Zehui's insistence, Lao Li wouldn't even plan to go to the hospital for treatment.

"Stinky girl, you will cry, it's not because Lao Tzu is soft-hearted!" Lao Li was "escorted" to the hospital by Bai Zehui while muttering, but none of Lao Li's old comrades-in-arms who were invited by Bai Zehui to be a backer were deceived by him - it was really difficult to ignore the upturned corners of his mouth.

Bai Zehui was twenty-six years old at that time, and the eight years of iron and blood made her, so that she no longer regarded Lao Li as a high-ranking existence to look up to.

Like every little daughter who has been spoiled by her father, she urged Lao Li to pack up her things and go to the hospital with a vicious and threatening tone.

For more than a year after that, Bai Zehui has been doing his best to treat Lao Li, and at the same time he has not forgotten to spend more time with Lao Li.

Although Lao Li complained about her, his heart was sweeter than eating ten catties of honey, and he felt that he really didn't accept Bai Zehui's apprentice in vain.

But Bai Zehui, the biological mother who suddenly appeared after more than 20 years, her mood was just the opposite of Lao Li's mood.

Bai Zehui's biological mother is named Qi Xuan, more than 20 years ago, she gave birth to Bai Zehui unmarried, but she failed to ascend to the throne because she gave birth to a daughter. After the man gave Qi Xuan a sum of money as compensation, he left their mother and daughter alone, and Qi Xuan ruthlessly threw her daughter outside the orphanage and left her to fend for herself.

Bai Zehui looks down on Qi Xuan, a woman who only wants to get something for nothing, and ruthlessly abandons her own daughter in the cold winter, but when Qi Xuan gave birth to herself, Bai Zehui doesn't mind giving her some alimony every month.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that Qi Xuan was not satisfied with only taking alimony from her on a monthly basis.

Three months ago, she found out out out where Bai Zehui spent a lot of money on Lao Li's treatment, and since then, she has been pestering Bai Zehui to ask for money and things.

Bai Zehui didn't want to use the money she bought with her life to satisfy her vexatiousness, so she kept calling or coming to the door.

At that time, Bai Zehui already knew that Lao Li's illness was just a matter of life, and she was already very depressed in her heart, and Qi Xuan made such a fuss, Bai Zehui naturally lost her affection for this so-called "biological mother" who loved vanity.

But Qi Xuan didn't know how to restrain at all, and recently, she has been intensifying and unrelenting harassment of Bai Zehui.

Bai Zehui was too lazy to take care of her, especially in the past few days when Lao Li was seriously ill and died, Bai Zehui refused to even answer Qi Xuan's phone again.
