Familiar Faces Show Up Again The righteous words not only left the Wang family stunned, but even Bai Ruozhu stumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she regained her senses and chuckled, wondering, “Is he suggesting that he is now a part of their scheming family, too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was indeed strange that the Wang family provoked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wangs’ words were brash and sarcastic, targeting her lack of integrity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruozhu was startled that Jiang stood up for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang’s sharp tongue indeed left the Wang family speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the officer said was correct, how many children would have to suffer if kidnappers were ignored?” Lin Laifu suddenly said from the next stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was loud, and his expression was filled with indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was surprising to see this ordinarily reticent man express such strong feelings towards the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Customers around the stalls chimed in, criticizing the Wangs for their selfishness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They disagreed with the Wangs for claiming someone else’s bravery and righteousness were wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They expressed that this type of person did not deserve anyone’s assistance in the future, for their conscience was already consumed by selfishness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wang family felt embarrassed by the comments and explained, “That’s not what I meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All I’m saying is that my niece loves to run around whilst being pregnant instead of staying at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could anyone from our Back Mountain Village have encountered a kidnapper in town?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping didn’t take it well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She retorted, “My daughter was visiting Fushou Hall to see a female doctor, and you call that wandering around?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for her ‘wandering around,’ we might not have saved the child she encountered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu quickly pulled her mother aside, “Mother, stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems like Aunt misunderstood me a lot, we shouldn’t argue over this and spoil the atmosphere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun snorted coldly, “What’s your point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m failing to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is not your business, don’t cause a disturbance in front of me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Bai Ruozhu heard Jiang Yichun refer to himself as an “officer.” This confirmed for her that he did indeed hold an official position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His authoritative display silenced the Wang family, who quickly retreated to wash the dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fusa shot a glance at the Wang family, “Taking advantage of others, criticizing them, and acting superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a troublesome relative.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu silently agreed, was she not the perfect definition of a troublesome relative?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone continued discussing the Wang’s wrongs, they felt increasingly wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, under Jiang Yichun’s authoritarian presence, they didn’t dare to open their mouths again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this occasion, Bai Ruozhu’s opinion of Jiang Yichun improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing that he remained seated, she enthusiastically rushed over to him and asked, “Sir, would you like anything else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The soup was good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d like another bowl.” Jiang Yichun handed his empty bowl to Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, coming right up!” Bai Ruozhu turned around hastily to avoid showing her momentary shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When their hands met, she felt a cold chill, although it was brief, it had rendered her slightly dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want to show her feelings and have anyone notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she fetched a larger bowl and added a massive bone in the soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she served it again, her heart had regained its calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, the marrow in this stew is delicious,” she declared before returning back to her chore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other customers stared in envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As average people in ancient times, they were not accustomed to eating meat daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing Jiang Yichun receive a sizeable bone, can anyone not feel jealous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun was pleased, Bai Ruozhu’s warm reciprocation reflected on her gratitude for his kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered why she had previously been so indifferent to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, Jiang Yichun decided it was likely because he had carried out kind deeds anonymously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the time he allowed Bai Ruozhu’s mother into the city to find a female doctor, and when he came to Bai Ruozhu’s rescue following her severe bout of bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu probably wasn’t aware of those instances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, she would be extremely grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Yichun felt rather pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stripped the meat off the large bone with a few swift movements, and then slurped the marrow from the bone, enjoying the flavors intensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, a martial artist, had exceptional hearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard a few swallowing sounds and noticed the other customers were staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be specific, they were staring at the bone in his hand, salivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncomfortable with being stared at like this, he sipped his soup, planning to finish it quickly and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, two officers arrived at the stall, instantly catching his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, Auntie, you have a booming business here!” A rather coarse voice exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai family recognized him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t this Wan Minglu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba Yihong looked at him in surprise and asked, “Minglu, we haven’t seen each other for a few days, and you’ve become an officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You really are progressing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Minglu scratched the back of his head shyly, “Uncle, not really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m still in training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’ll be officially official once I pass the exams.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, good, this is very well done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep it up,” Bai Yihong said, patting Wan Minglu on the shoulder, making him grin joyfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then greeted Bai Ruozhu and Bai Zehao, “Brother Zehao, Sister Ruozhu, how are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not too tired?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zehao chuckled, “I’m not tired, I only have to talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baking the hand pastries is the real hard work for my sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu smiled and replied, “Why would I be tired?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You even prepared a chair for me, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone then noticed a chair behind Bai Ruozhu with a soft cushion on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she wasn’t too busy, she could sit and rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she could even bake hand pastries on the Iron pan from her chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun squinted, observing how thoughtful the Bai family was towards their daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Luji, who had already met Bai Ruozhu and Lin Ping, also greeted them cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping finally remembered, “Aren’t you the officer who took us to the Clinic that day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you so much for your help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie, just call me Luji, no need for formal titles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It makes me feel embarrassed,” Wang Luji said with a shy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two should sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell Ruozhu what you would like to eat,” Lin Ping quickly invited them to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they went to sit, they finally noticed Jiang Yichun’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s seat was facing away from the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he had retracted his aura, so they hadn’t noticed him at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Luji gestured at Wan Minglu, and together they bowed to Jiang Yichun, “Greetings, sir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun raised a hand to stop them, “At ease, there’s no need for formalities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They nodded and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bai Ruozhu noticed a change in their demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed less relaxed than before and even appeared a bit nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>",1175,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.305Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","44e21af07ebdd8f5177486121d517075126b34e5c366fa626c1a2b9d44d7fd5e","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-199","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-197",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
