“But I am the patient, I have the right to decide what kind of treatment I should receive.”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “No, you don’t have this right. The doctor will decide your treatment. The only thing you can do is to express your dissatisfaction and opinion. However, it still depends on me if I will listen to it.”
Hu Feng looked at Bai Zhi’s eyes, she usually has this smile on her eyes, but now she has serious and serene looked. What kind of girl was she in the end? What kind of heart does she have in that small body?
Hu Feng didn’t say another word, he got up from the chair and quickly walked away.
Bai Zhi slowly turned around and wrinkled her eyebrows, as she watched Hu Feng’s tall back disappearing from her sight. This guy, Hu Feng, his memory hasn’t returned but he already has unfathomable character. If one day he recovers his memory, what kind of person might he become?

After a short break, Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan went to Village Chief Li’s house. And they all went to their newly bought field.
Because both of them were women, they only bought an acre of paddy field. The location of their field was not good, but it was also not bad. Zhao Lan was actually very satisfied with it.
Half of their acre of paddy field was filled with sand. It can be seen that it was left untouched for a long time now. And it seems it will take a lot of effort to plant.
After the three of them finished looking at the field, along the way back, Village Chief Li pointed his finger to the two acres of paddy field on the side: “Zhao Lan, since your hand was fractured that day. No one took care of the Bai Family’s field, which is so ridiculous. I don’t know what the Bai Family is thinking in the end.”
Zhao Lan looked at the two acres of fields and sighed: “All these years, I’m the only one taking care of these fields. They were only used in staying at home. I’m afraid that they haven’t got used to it.”
Bai Zhi opened her mouth and said: “Do they still need to get used to it? Niang, remember, the Bai Family now has nothing to do with us. You mustn’t get confused and get along with them.”
Zhao Lan smiled and said: “This child, I’m not a three-year-old kid. Do you think I don’t understand that?” She might have been so foolish before.
But now, things were different. After she saw her daughter lying dead in the straw mat, she had already hated the Bai Family to the extent. There was no hope for reconciliation.
Village Chief Li also opened his mouth and said: “It’s good, it’s good, now that you have broken ties with the Bai family. It’s best to teach them a lesson so that they will have a good life in the future.”
Bai Zhi looked back at their own acre of paddy field in the distance. The location was above the water source. There was no waterway like in the other fields. Their paddy field was actually a dry land.
If they will plant wheat in that field, they have to manually pour buckets of water from the distant river.
Bai Zhi asked Village Chief Li: “Uncle Li, do we have to plant wheat in our field? Can we plant something else?”
Village Chief Li was puzzled: “Plant something else? What kind of plant?” He didn’t expect that they will plant something else other than wheat.
Bai Zhi shook her head and said: “I haven’t decided yet. But, if we plant wheat, we need a lot of water. As you can see, our field is not close to the water resources. It will be very difficult to grow wheat.”
Zhao Lan busily replied: “I’m not scared of spending a lot of time carrying buckets of water.”
Village Chief Li smiled and said: “Zhi’er, that field is yours, you can plant whatever you want.”
Bai Zhi suddenly thought of something. That plant was good and the chance for it to grow was quite high. It was also not bad to eat. The most important thing was, it doesn’t need a lot of water.
