Has Caused Trouble “I’m still hale and hearty, is it time for the ceremony?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then hurry up, don’t miss the hour.” Madame Bai didn’t look for trouble, and urged them to start the ceremony straight away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu heard this and felt that she clearly meant: hurry up and get it over with so I can feast and drink to my heart’s content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Dengdeng’s name was a gift from the county’s governor and didn’t follow the Bai Clan’s naming traditions, it seemed a bit irregular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Lu explained publicly that the name Dengdeng was an honour bestowed by the local parents’ official, which could also be regarded as a special honour for the Bai family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Clansmen present immediately revealed a look of envy, and they looked at Bai Zepei with more admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By virtue of Bai Zepei’s status as a promising scholar, the members of Bai Fu’s branch of the family were able to enjoy such an honour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady, however, curled her lips to the side, apparently disdainful, but she didn’t want to create trouble, especially since this wasn’t her home, so she tempered herself a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ceremony was not complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Lu carried Dengdeng up to worship their ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng was very cooperative, didn’t make noise and even left a footprint on the registry with his little foot at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu watched this from the side and found it particularly adorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never thought that babies would leave footprints instead of handprints and she wondered what her footprint looked like when she was a baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ceremony ended swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Bai Clan’s customs, the elders of the clan all had to hold Dengdeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus Bai Lu handed him to Bai Zhaoshi to hold, then to Bai Zhanfu and Bai Zhangui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng was brave, not afraid of strangers, and even giggled a few times along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone found the child amusing and became even friendlier towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Dengdeng, who was good at sensing other’s kindness, boldly tugged at Bai Zhangui’s beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did the child like to pull people’s beards so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all the elders in the clan had held him, it wouldn’t be appropriate if Dengdeng’s great-grandma didn’t hold him too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in a tense atmosphere, Dengdeng was handed over to the old lady by Bai Zhangui’s wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu leaned in, hoping the old lady would finish her turn quickly so she could take the child back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Bai looked down at Little Dengdeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t much affection on her face, but she didn’t look displeased either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that she found the child tolerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, Dengdeng suddenly burst into loud wails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu jumped in shock and practically sprung forward to take Dengdeng back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she feared the worst – could it be that the old lady, out of spite, had pinched the child secretly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why has he suddenly started crying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s wrong with the child?” Lin Ping’er also hurried over, sounding angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady didn’t take kindly to that, and gave Lin a sidelong glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you implying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think I would pick a fight with a child?” The old lady grumbled, “Truth be told, he doesn’t feel like my kin at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s an outsider.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Dengdeng’s distress, Lin was angered, “What do you mean an outsider?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our Dengdeng’s surname is Bai, his name is Bai Chengtai!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady just sniffed dismissively, but Bai Lu intervened before she could say anything else, “Enough, stop arguing, let’s see what’s wrong with the child.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu had already begun to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child wasn’t injured or ill, he just seemed very wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he’d stopped crying so hard, his little nose was scrunched up, sniffling continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started wondering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was Dengdeng reacting so strongly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he didn’t like the old lady, he didn’t have to cry so bitterly, did he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she didn’t expect was that Dengdeng began to sneeze in a row afterwards, with mucus even squirting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Bai Ruozhu wiped his nose with a handkerchief, did he seem to feel a little better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has the child caught a cold?” Bai Zhaoshi asked with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu shook her head, handed the child to her mother, and walked towards the old lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?” The elderly woman watched as Bai Ruozhu approached her, and began to shout in a somewhat fearful yet defiant tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly leaned down and sniffed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder, the child was allergic to scent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not the cold wind, it’s the scent on my breast milk clothing that irritated the baby’s nose,” Bai Ruozhu said somewhat unhappily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God knows what cheap incense the old woman had applied on her clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent was not strong, and since they hadn’t been close to the old woman, they hadn’t noticed it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Little Dengdeng was still a baby and his nose was very sensitive, so he couldn’t bear it when held up close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her age, she was still applying incense on her clothes, something uncouth among respectable families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd’s gaze on the old woman held a hint of disapproval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone even leaned in to sniff, muttering, “Truly abnormal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly woman couldn’t hold back her embarrassment, hastily explaining, “The clothes were given to me by my eldest daughter-in-law; I didn’t know she had put some kind of incense on them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Bai Ruozhu looked at her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old mansion intended to dismiss the Wang Family, didn’t they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman just said that her clothes were from the Wang Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu noticed that the eyes of the elderly woman kept moving, and she realized that the clothes seemed to have only been worn a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had probably guessed that the old woman simply took her things for herself while Wang Family was treated for her illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that she felt sorry for the Wang Family, but the old woman’s conduct was simply inappropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were to dismiss the Wang Family, Wang Family should take away all their dowries and clothes when leaving the Bai Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How reasonable was it to dismiss them and also take away their belongings?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly gentleman always prided himself on their renowned scholarly family, didn’t he feel such behavior was disgraceful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd had diverse looks upon hearing the old woman’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People from Fengye Village knew about Bai Yibo’s intention to divorce his wife, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Lu gave the old woman a displeased look, and said to his family, “Stop looking, hurry up and serve the food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu tenderly held Dengdeng to comfort him for a long time until he finally stopped crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he would occasionally sneeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu had to keep him far away from the old woman which seemed to slowly improve his condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Poor child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so happy just now, and ended up suffering unknowingly.” Lin Ping’er pitied Dengdeng and couldn’t help but mumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your mother wouldn’t know, don’t say it or it’ll stir trouble,” Bai Yihong persuaded at the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing him speak those words made Lin Ping’er even angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grimly glared at him, saying, “Yes, your mother knows nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re just slandering her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must have offended someone to be so pitiful?” Her eyes reddened as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, mother, please don’t quarrel, or Dengdeng will be upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were doing so good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t be the laughingstock to outsiders,” Bai Ruozhu quickly interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Bai Zehao and Bai Zepei comforted their parents, and only then did Lin Ping’er relent, glaring at Bai Yihong one more time before ceasing her quarrel with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed like she was really angry, and clearly wanted nothing to do with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong looked at Bai Ruozhu with a pitiable expression, afraid that Bai Ruozhu was angry at him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu could only smile helplessly, as her father was truly caught in a hard place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feast was soon ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Lu asked everyone to sit down, but just then, there was a knock on the outer door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Bai, the village chief has summoned you to go over to Widow Zhou’s place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some outsiders want to cause trouble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Family, your subscriptions these past few days have been extremely uplifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Mouka, am infinitely grateful and will continue to work hard to bring you more chapters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every author dreams of their book becoming a big hit, just like how parents wish for their child to succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Mouka, am no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope that this book, which took nearly half a year to prepare, can achieve great results, and perhaps even one day turn me into a well-known author.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this, of course, couldn’t be achieved without your support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As we are now stepping towards this dream, I would like to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to fulfill my dream, and for placing your trust and affirmation in me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bow in thanks, I love you all!\u003C\u002Fp>",1540,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.305Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","41ec729ddebaae067d22f1c50f2fb14b6cb42ee24710f400333dba4a2b553c2c","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-276","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-274",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
