Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3531 Craftsmanship

"What was the attitude of the people around you towards your mother at that time?" Ning Duanye asked.

"Very bad." Lu Yinting said, "When I was a child, people around me bullied me. I asked my father why we didn't leave that place. My father told me about the attitude of people around me towards my mother at that time. I still remember it. My father couldn't stand others bullying my mother before, so he thought about leaving that place at that time. He once told my mother that although he believed what the Taoist said, every time he learned that my mother was bullied outside, he wanted to leave there and find another place to live. My mother thought what the Taoist said was true, and said that if she went to live with him somewhere else, she might be killed on the way, so it would be better for her to stay there. In fact, my father knew at that time that my mother didn't want my father to be implicated by him and put his life in danger."

"Your mother also believes in what that alchemist says?" Ning Duanye asked again.

"Yes. The reason why the alchemist told my father about that was because he felt that if he continued to owe my father this favor, it would be disadvantageous to his future. My mother felt that since the alchemist paid such a huge price just to tell my father that he could not leave that place, then this statement was even less likely to be false." Lu Yinting said.

Ning Duanye asked, "Have you been living there ever since?"

"Yes." Lu Yinting said, "My mom and dad worked there, making things and selling them. It was really hard to work in that environment. But my mom and dad had good craftsmanship, and no one in the local area could compare to them, so the things were relatively easy to sell. It was just that sometimes we had to go out to find materials for making things, and we had to buy materials, and we would be bullied. It was really not easy! Back then, the Taoist priest told my dad the range through a map, and said that my parents and their children could not go beyond that range. Although the range was already very large, my mom and dad still thought it would be better if they could go to a farther place, because my dad really wanted to see if he could find fresher materials outside the range."

"Your mother and father must have encountered a lot of unfair things when they went out to look for materials, right?" Ning Duanye asked.

This was the first time Lu Yinting heard someone ask such a question, and he felt it was very rare.

"Yes. My mother would be bullied when she went out. She would not tell my father when she came back. My father would always try to find out about her situation outside, and sometimes he would find out that she was bullied again. Every time my father would try to find a solution for my mother, but in fact he could not solve the problem fundamentally. In fact, not only my mother would be bullied, but my father himself would also be bullied outside because he married a blue-armored man." Lu Yinting said.

Ning Duanye asked: "It's understandable that your childhood must have been very difficult!"

Lu Yinting said: "When I was a child, I told my mother and father that I wanted to leave that place. They told me that if I left, I would die. When I was young, I said I would leave even if I died, so they kept a close eye on me."

"You won't mention it anymore when you grow up?" Ning Duanye said.

"Yes." Lu Yinting continued, "When I grew up, I realized how important I was to them, so I would rather be bullied there than leave that area. Later, the things at home became bigger and bigger, and the work was very busy. When I grew up, I had to do it too, so I had no time to go anywhere else. In short, I never thought about leaving there again."
