Bai Yi Yang was planning to enter her workshop but her siblings suddenly wanted to see the new road and go to the orchard, so what else can she do other than to join them.

The small Bai Yi Mo was riding his bike, but the road is indeed a bit steeper than the one they usually use, Bai Yi Yang standby behind him in case he suddenly unable to control the bike. He was catching his breath when they arrived on top.

It takes about 15-20 minutes walk. The road is shorter than the mountain road to their house but it was steeper. But actually they don't want to ruin other place, there were roughly made road here before so they just straight away repair it and make a better one.

The orchard is also very clean, the weed is short now only up to their ankle, so they can clearly see a big area of fruits tree.

"Xiao Mo, Fang Fang, don't go running around near the durian tree. They may fall on you." Bai Yi Yang shout.

"Okay." They answer at the same time.

Now they can clearly see which is which. Bai Yi Yang role is to touch the trees and spread her aura.

'TongTong, what if I increase my farming skills to Level 3?'

'You can spread your aura in 100 m distance.' TongTong said. Bai Yi Yang eyes widened, this is a good thing

'Okay level up.' Bai Yi Yang said happily.

[Successful. Skills-Farming Level 3. Total points: 242]

Bai Yi Yang walk around with her siblings. When she saw an unhealthy trees, she will stop longer at that place and pretend to remove weed around it.

Since her aura can spread to 100 m distance, she just need to walk around a bit to reach all trees.They will remove climbing weeds at the same time. Bai Yi Yang also took some pictures of the almost ripe fruits. They can also find two to three durians under the trees and Bai Yi Chen will quickly pick them up and gather them at one place. They didn't being any basket so they can only gather it for now.

The children was curious and wanted to touch it, but they didn't think that it was that sharp. They immediately stays away and mumbled about how will people eat it?

While walking around, Bai Yi Yang will let her siblings taste some of the easier to peel fruit such as rambutan, she pick some which is reddish in colour but not fully ripe and taste it.

"Hurm..sweet. They will be sweeter when they are fully ripe by next week." She said to her siblings. Her power can make fruits become much more healthy, sweeter and have higher nutrition level. This is what TongTong told her. Bai Yi Chen also eat one and agree, this fruits is quite sweet.

"Jie, I want, I want!" The two short one cannot reach the one who is slightly ripe. Bai Yi Yang pick two rambutans and peel their skin and gave one each, she also pick one for Xiao Ling.

"Don't eat the seed." She said. The children doesn't really know how to eat it so Bai Yi Yang show them, they can bite directly onto it or remove the flesh from the seed in the centre.

"En, delicious..and sweet.." The children comment. They had eaten lychee before but not rambutan.

After that, they moved to the next fruit trees

But for now, the fruits that is ready to be plucked are custard apple, snakeskin fruit and rose apple. Next week the rambutan will be ripe and there will be other things too. Actually after the orchard is cleaned, there are also a few more fruits that Bai Yi Yang never seen in her life too, this orchard is really like a treasure.

After that, they bring some fruits back that was placed into Bai Yi Mo bike. Bai Yi Chen didn't allow him to use the bicycle when going down, afraid that he lose control

After returning to their yard, Bai Yi Yang and her siblings stop at the vegetable field and look over their vegetables.

"How come they grow this fast, see, it was this tall a few days ago, now it's like this already." Bai Yi Ling said. She is trying to grow her succulents now but they are not as fast as this vegetables. Maybe she should pay more attention to it like how her sister and brother do to these vegetables farm.

"Let me look over you plants later." Bai Yi Yang said. Their vegetables indeed grows very fast, it's because just by staying close with Bai Yi Yang, they can absorb more nutrients. Bai Yi Yang also work a lot at the vegetables farm.

'Plants is unlike machine. As long as they have life, they can feel your presence.' TongTong said.

'Am I like a God of Fertility for plants?' Bai Yi Yang laugh.

'Yeah, similar. The more often you visit them, the more they grow faster and healthy. They also last longer compared to other plants.' TongTong explain.

'En, got it.' Bai Yi Yang nod. When she went to pick some big peppers, she said a few words to the pepper. She didn't know that the next day, it produced even more flowers. This is really too much cheat, so TongTong didn't tell Bai Yi Yang.

After that, they all returned into the house. The younger siblings went to take a bath while Bai Yi Chen stays with her in the kitchen. He helped to julienned the big pepper finely. Bai Yi Yang also ask him to julienne the beef. She is going to make a stir fry beef with big pepper.

After that, she also take out the pork belly that she have left in the chiller after poking numerous holes on the skin last night. She is going to make crispy roasted pork belly today, since she start early, they will be able to eat before 8 pm, she adjusted the aluminium foil with the size of the pork belly, put some wine on top of the skin and then covered it with salt before popping it into a preheated oven. Now, they only need to wait.

After that, Bai Yi Yang and Bai Yi Chen went to take a bath. Since their dinner will be late, even Bai Yi Yang bring her homework to the kitchen while waiting for the pork belly. After 1 hour and 30 minutes, she take it out and remove the salt on top before putting it in the broiler for 5-10 minutes. Then lastly she took it out and let it to rest.

Her siblings then returned their books to the living room and clear the dinner table. Bai Yi Yang proceed with stir frying the beef and big pepper.

TongTong request for an extra piece and Bai Yi Yang gave it to the cat.

The crispy pork belly is indeed very delicious, crispy skin with soft and juicy meat. They still can't move on when the dish is devoured. The small one feels regretful that they can't eat more because of their capacity. Actually Bai Yi Yang cook a whole two kilo piece of pork belly but they still able to finished it. They should start a 'mukbang' channel.

After the meal, Bai Yi Yang remove the dumplings and har gao for tomorrow breakfast to the chiller compartment so that they won't be too frozen tomorrow. Then as usual she prepares snacks pack, water bottles for her siblings. Finally she returned to the living room to finish her remaining two pages homework.

Since they are heading to City Nan tomorrow afternoon, Bai Yi Yang ask Bai Yi Chen to help her pack their important documents that need to brought with them tomorrow. Bai Yi Chen was a bit absentminded when he was sorting things out.

"Why, can't bear to move family?" Bai Yi Yang don't understand what else does Bai Yi Chen want to see until he can let them go completely. She ask him sarcastically. Sometimes, Bai Yi Chen overly kind and forgiving heart can be frustrating.

"YangYang, our parents is still under their family. We have a blood ties with them." Bai Yi Chen is honestly still conflicted. He already ignored it for a few days, now when he is packing their documents, he saw their parents name. The three children immediately look at the twins.

"Then you go ask your name to be put under them, I will move to the second branch. How about the three of you?" Bai Yi Yang said coldly. She knows that she is being unfilial or whatever they call it, but she won't ever want to be associated with that trashy first branch again. Their parents is different, the two are dead wheres they are alive here.

"I also don't want…ge, please..what if they found us and hit us again..I don't want.." Bai Yi Ling for the first time said her opinion and goes against her older brother.

"Me too." Bai Yi Mo frown while answering in low voice.

"I will follow jiejie..I hate Second uncle and second aunt..i hate grandma and grandpa too.." Bai Yi Fang said.

"Then we will abandon our parents. We won't be their children in name anymore. Do you really don't mind?" Bai Yi Chen said his reasoning.

"Ge, move on! Our parents are dead." Bai Yi Yang shout. She is seriously annoyed here with the so called family relationship that doesn't even help them to continue living. What if she didn't come, they all will be in the orphanage now.

Her siblings were shocked with her shout. Bai Yi Yang never get angry like this. Bai Yi Ling tears is already falling, so does the two small one who is hugging each other.

"Yang Yang…I am sorry.." Bai Yi Chen said.

"Let's talk about this then. We talk about this and this ends here today." Bai Yi Yang took a deep breath and calm down.

"The first branch, what did they do when our parents die? The funeral, it was us who paid the costs. The columbarium, it was us who paid it for the next 5 years. Let me ask you, did they pay anything to help us orphans during that period?" She said. Bai Yi Chen look down and shake his head.

"Okay fine, I am totally fine with that since they are our parents, it was our parent's funeral at the first place. Then, to let Xiao Ling, Xiao Mo and Fang Fang stay at Second Uncle family, didn't you said that you gave him half of our remaining money? That is at least 100,000 yuan. It was for three children to eat and also the rent for them to stay in a small bedroom. Both of us who were 14 at that time stays at the school hostel but we still bought food when we return during weekend and pay the bills. Fine, whatever, that's our own fault for doing that.." Bai Yi Chen feels like he is being attacked, so he lowered his head further.

"But ge, you must remember this one things forever, second uncle family abuse our siblings. Did you forgot? Xiao Ling, Xiao Mo and Fang Fang body full of bruises. Fang Fang running from home because of fear for two days and they didn't even look for her seriously. Xiao Ling bleeding feet while she run to get us for help. Xiao Mo lying sick at home neglected." The three children cried and went to hug Bai Yi Yang. Bai Yi Yang feel a deep heartbreak, she cried with them too.

"Ge, I can't forgive that family. More than that, I can't forgive our grandparents for keeping a blind eyes on that matter, dismissing it as if it was nothing just to protect the worst than beast second uncle family. What if Xiao Ling didn't come to get us, we may have lost them." Bai Yi Yang said.

"I am scared, I am always scared that they will come to us here.." Bai Yi Ling add.

"They won't.." Bai Yi Chen try to comfort.

"Then keep your words. You heard grandma insult me on the phone, does it means nothing to you?!" Bai Yi Yang said in anger. Bai Yi Chen is really frustrating in this matter. She wanted to go out of the family as soon as possible.

"Our parents, we would not forget about them. If we can transfer them here, we will transfer. But I can't stand that family, you make a choice yourself. But don't try to convince me with your reasoning of blood relation, do you believe that if our parents really loves us, they also want us to make the same choice?" Bai Yi Yang said.

"YangYang, of course I will transfer. I…just.." Bai Yi Chen don't know what to say.

"You don't understand what the four of us has went through, they never openly do something bad to you. You three follow me into the bedroom. If your older brother is still hesitant then only the four of us will go tomorrow." Bai Yi Yang said. If Bai Yi Chen is as strong as her, she would have bring him outside for a fist fight. They all leave Bai Yi Chen in the living room and they all pack their things in the bedroom.

"Jie, don't be angry anymore. Gege is like that, he received a lot of love from our grandparents. It's normal that he don't get it." Bai Yi Ling who has calmed down said.

"Only if he has brain like all of you. I really hate this one character of him." Bai Yi Yang complaints.

"Let him think it over some more."

Bai Yi Yang and her younger siblings went to sleep. To make them forget the sad things, she told them about what they are going to do in City Nan later. The children immediately become excited and can't wait to go tomorrow.
