Chapter 314 - 313: Her Strength
Aunt Sienna looked at her somewhat pale face and said with some concern, "Bella, since you have friends coming over, switch to the room of the director and mine to stay. I’ll switch to the small room tonight."
"Aunt Sienna, no need." Bella Acker shook her head, "Your leg has been hurting; it’s inconvenient for you to climb ladders, we’ll stay in the small room."
Aunt Sienna looked at her, couldn’t help but raise her hand to touch her eyes, and said sadly, "Ever since the director got sick, if it hadn’t been for you supporting this family single-handedly, it might have fallen apart long ago. Bella..."
"Aunt Sienna, it’s what I should do." Bella Acker smiled, "You go first, I’ll change the sheets and come down to play with everyone."
"Okay." Aunt Sienna hesitated for a moment before saying, "Bella, if you encounter any difficulties, you must tell Aunt Sienna, okay? Although Aunt Sienna is old and not very useful, she can at least be of some help."
"Aunt Sienna, I’m fine, don’t worry."
Aunt Sienna looked at her with red, tear-filled eyes, and ultimately could only sigh and walk toward the dining hall with her not-so-agile legs.
Bella Acker restrained the slight smile on her lips, stood silently for a while, then stepped up the stairs to the small room in the attic.
After she changed all the sheets and quilts in the small room to clean ones, she went to the dining hall to play games with the children who had finished eating.
Bea really showed up, and not only did she come, but she also brought a whole bunch of people and drove a lot of things over.
Food, toys, daily necessities, clothes, everything you could think of.
If it weren’t late, she probably could have brought some furniture over.
Bella Acker looked at the pile of things unloaded from the car, was stunned for quite a while before reacting, and quickly walked up, "Bella, how come you brought so many things over."
"Just happened to." Bea casually replied, and said to the young men and women who had unloaded everything from the car, "Alright, there’s nothing left for you here, I’ll treat you to drinks later."
"Bella, since we’re here, let us at least go inside and see the kids." A punk-dressed guy with ear studs and a baseball cap grinned.
"Get lost! With the way you look, you’ll scare a bunch of kids to tears!" Bea laughed and cursed, "Go on, I’ll treat you to some fun later."
A few young men and women couldn’t help but shrug their shoulders and left in the car.
Bella Acker looked at the pile of things on the ground, felt a bit of a headache, and said, "Bella, the toys and snacks can be moved inside by the kids, but the washing machine and fridge need the two of us to carry."
"What?" Bea widened her eyes, "You don’t have anyone strong here?"
"Usually, when I’m not back, only Aunt Sienna is here to take care of the kids. But Aunt Sienna’s legs aren’t very convenient, and she can’t carry heavy things." Bella Acker explained, "We can carry the washing machine inside together, and leave the fridge for tomorrow to have two scrap collectors come over and move it."
Bea was speechless, "Since there’s no manpower, why didn’t you say so earlier? If I had known, I would have let them move the stuff inside before leaving."
"They’re your friends, I couldn’t trouble them." Bella Acker said somewhat embarrassed, "Bella, thank you for bringing so many things over."
"Forget it, let’s move." Bea helplessly waved her hand, casually threw her tens of thousands-worth purse on a washboard in the yard, rolled up her sleeves, and started moving things.
