151: Disregarding Reputation and Consequences “The Zhou family is simple and honest, the couple had sold their land to treat the old Madam Zhou’s illness, but they are a couple full of filial piety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why I chose to lease the land to them,” Bai Zepei continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam Zhou invited me over for dinner, and during our chat, she mentioned that a girl from our village is about to marry into Linjiang Village in less than a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid that our family’s land issues would be exposed, I asked Madam Zhou a few more questions, and it turned out that the girl she was talking about is your best friend, Fang Guizhi,” Bai Zepei said, looking deeply at Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was shocked and exclaimed, “I was just worrying about Guizhi’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I haven’t seen her for several days, and when I went to her house to find her, her mother, refusing to let me see her, said that she was sick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if she was getting married, she wouldn’t need to be this secretive, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei’s eyes revealed some sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head and said, “Things are not as simple as you think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she is your friend, I asked a bit more about the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I came to know that her mother told her she is being matched with a widower who is already thirty-three years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the village rumor is that he likes to drink and beat his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His former wife was beaten by him until she was barely human, and finally, she died of illness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Bai Ruozhu felt like she had been struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She jumped up and said, “Doesn’t Guizhi’s mother know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would she arrange such a match?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t she pushing Guizhi into hell?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei had a sarcastic smile in his eyes, “That Yang San’s family is actually quite wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of his bad reputation, he finds his second wives from distant villages, and he is willing to give generous betrothal gifts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a sin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the Fang family going to sell their daughter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of parents are those!” Lin Ping’er cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi had a good relationship with Bai Ruozhu, and she had watched Fang Guizhi grow up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, she too became anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong also sighed, “I was thinking of asking Guizhi’s father about this, but it seems I need to find an opportunity to persuade her father tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, Guizhi is such a good girl, how can she marry an old widower who beats his wife,” said Bai Zehao, shaking his head and showing a look of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu couldn’t sit still anymore, “No, I must find a way to see Guizhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder her mother didn’t let me in, Guizhi must have disagreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must have put Guizhi under house arrest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little sister, don’t be impulsive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s wait till it’s a bit late, and big brother will help you go and check on the Fang’s house,” Bai Zehao thought for a while and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu hurriedly shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Bai Zehao offered to help her find Fang Guizhi, in the end, there should be a distinction between men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her big brother was about to get married soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if something happened that affected her brother’s marriage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, you can’t go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will find a way to sneak into the Fang’s house later,” Bai Ruozhu still had her space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone found her, she could hide in her space, and at night, people would definitely think they were seeing things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai family was not at ease with Bai Ruozhu sneaking into the Fang’s house at night, and they all tried to dissuade her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Bai Ruozhu refuted them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to the others and said, “Guizhi and I grew up together, she is my best friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I really can’t save her, I want to see her before she gets married, otherwise I won’t be able to rest at ease for the rest of my life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er quietly wiped the corner of her eyes, mumbling to herself, “Both have daughters, how could Guizhi’s mother be so cruel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rongrong’s mother, who brought Rongrong, couldn’t intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just hugged Rongrong tightly at the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after hearing Lin Ping’er’s sentiment, she couldn’t help but sigh, and said, “I love Rongrong the most, I can’t bear to see my daughter suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Guizhi really her biological daughter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or is she her stepmother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er hurriedly explained, “Guizhi’s mother favors boys over girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoils her son the most and doesn’t let him do any work at home, while the daughter is in charge of all the heavy and fatiguing work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something in Bai Ruozhu’s heart seemed to be touched, as if a fog had suddenly lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered that Guizhi once said her mother was looking for a bride for her brother, and it seemed her brother had already found a suitable candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that Guizhi’s mother planned to marry Guizhi to a widower in exchange for a betrothal gift to arrange for her brother’s marriage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such practices were common in rural areas in the present time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, people would marry their daughters off and use the betrothal money to find a wife for their son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they would never push their daughters into such dire straits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t believe that Guizhi’s mother was not aware that Yang San beat his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, mother, don’t worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guizhi and I have a secret code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, when the Fang family is asleep, I will shout the secret code outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She will find a way to meet me,” to prevent her family from worrying, Bai Ruozhu made up a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and Fang Guizhi often met, there was no need for a secret code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er didn’t want her daughter to take risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was not suitable for anyone in the family to accompany her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a man went with her and was seen by others, wouldn’t it ruin Guizhi’s reputation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er herself was the best to accompany her, but she might also hold Bai Ruozhu back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, no one could dissuade Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was late at night, Bai Ruozhu changed into a dark, sleek dress and quietly left the Bai’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although all the lights in the Bai house were out, no one was asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Bai Zepei quietly got up and whispered to Bai Zehao, “I will go to the village for a walk, it’s better to be on guard in case anything happens to our little sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zehao felt that he should go, but thinking of his impending marriage, he had to give up the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making some detours, Bai Ruozhu finally arrived at the back yard of the Fang’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to climb over the wall into the Fang’s house, but looking at the high courtyard wall, she tried several times, but couldn’t reach the height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turns out that she really isn’t suited for scaling walls, Bai Ruozhu thought, finding the whole situation ridiculous even in her anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Bai Ruozhu was worrying, she suddenly heard a low sobbing sound in the Fang’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was very faint, as if the person was crying with their mouth covered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the sound was very faint and blurry, Bai Ruozhu recognized that it was Fang Guizhi’s voice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to call out to Guizhi, but in the end, she didn’t dare to open her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was afraid of waking up the Fang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, she wouldn’t be able to meet Guizhi tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, when Guizhi would get married was uncertain, delaying one day would increase the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Bai Ruozhu heard very light footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was startled and instinctively thought about going into her space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a cold voice behind her said, “Step on my shoulder to get over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s my second brother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu turned and saw her second brother also dressed in black clothes, looking even thinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if someone sees you?” Bai Ruozhu asked in a low voice, but her tone was filled with surprise and gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei had already walked under the wall, crouched down, looking like he was waiting to support Bai Ruozhu up the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke softly without raising his head, “What can we do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If worst comes to worst, I will have to marry Feng Guizhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can I just watch you get yourself into trouble?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu’s eyes warmed up in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her second brother had no feelings for Guizhi, and he didn’t want to get married so early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was here to help her, not caring about his own reputation or consequences!\u003C\u002Fp>",1478,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.305Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","164eea6809ea99788d8a210450c32e52816487b4279eff2e7fe743bfbef75694","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-152","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-500",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
