Chapter 60: If you won’t do this the easy way, then we’ll do it the hard way
Fortunately, in the morning, before they left, they placed the eggs in Hu Changlin’s house . So, even if they went to the cabin, they wouldn’t be able to find even half of an eggsh.e.l.l .
Bai Zhi walked out of the wooden house and smiled at Old Lady Bai and Mrs . Liu: “Grandmother, Aunt, you are all very busy people . If we ask you to help us, how funny would that be?”
Now, whenever the old lady sees Bai Zhi, she was getting fl.u.s.tered . Especially, when she sees her smiling, her heart felt an inexplicable disgust and fear . She can’t look at Bai Zhi’s eyes directly, so she only waved her hand: “Don’t talk nonsense, if you won’t do this the easy way, then we’ll do it the hard way . Just give us the key, how
can our Bai Family’s things be left in someone else’s home? If one or two went missing, won’t we need to spend money again?”
At this moment, Old Lady Bai couldn’t say that Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan’s clothes were not fit and complete . At first glance, people could tell that they were only worn out clothes of Bai Family that they could no longer wear . So, they were given to the mother and child .
Bai Zhi then said to Zhao Lan: “Niang, since Grandmother and Aunt are free, let them go and get our things . I am still busy here, your hand is injured, let’s just trouble them this time . ”
Zhao Lan still couldn’t understand what was going on, but because her daughter said so, she must have her own reason, so she no longer says anything . She took out the key and handed it to Mrs . Liu .
Mrs . Liu
Liu took the key, without saying anything . Then, she and the old lady hurriedly went to Hu Changlin’s cabin .
Zhao Lan pulled Bai Zhi and asked: “What is going on?”
Bai Zhi came closer and whispered: “They were going to get the eggs that Yingzi’s niang sent this morning . Let them turn upside down the cabin . There is nothing in there anyway . ”
Zhao Lan suddenly realized things, so there was a trace of a ridiculous smile on her face: “It seems they were destined to be disappointed and just return . ”
Bai Zhi helped Zhao Lan get inside the house . Their house now has been cleaned up . She put new dry hay on the side and covered them with two old clean clothes .
“Niang, you sit first, I’ll go and get you water to wash your face . ” Bai Zhi said, but then she found out that there was no pot in
pot in the house . The only basin they could use was still in the cabin .
When Zhao Lan saw her daughter’s gloomy face, she busily said: “If there is no basin, just take a towel cloth and let’s use it to wipe my face . ”
Bai Zhi didn’t speak, she only took a towel cloth and went outside . Bai Zhi tightly clenched the towel cloth in her hand, her anger spread all over her body . She couldn’t imagine how the former Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan, lived miserably in that old wooden house .
While holding the towel, she went directly to the big house . There was a tank in the backyard of the big house . This water tank was always full of water . This water tank and all the other choirs were Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan’s responsibility . Year after year, the Bai Family stop from working . As . As if it was only natural for the mother and child to work for them .
Bai Zhi went straight to the tank in the backyard . The lid of the water tank was not yet opened . But suddenly, she heard Bai Xiaofeng’s voice towards the small shed in the backyard: “Bai Zhi, come here and grind me some ink . ”
Bai Xiaofeng always finished his homework in this small shed every day . Their room was dim . So in order to save money, Old Lady Bai let Bai Dazhu and Bai Erzhu build up a small shed in this backyard . And then, they put a wide wooden table for Bai Xiaofeng to use when he studied .
Bai Zhi glanced at Bai Xiaofeng and ignored him . She opened the water tank and scoop a water from the inside . She soaked the towel cloth and twisted it dry in her hands .
