Mother Makes Small Talk Thinking about this, Wan Sushi began to worry about her wooden sonagain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed to find an appropriate opportunity to probe Bai Ruozhu’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Bai Ruozhu was genuinely unaware of Wan Minglu’s feelings and gotten engaged with someone else, that would be a real pity, wouldn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Sushi had automatically overlooked Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She assumed that Bai Ruozhu was certainly going to remarry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Bai Ruozhu took Dengdeng to nurse him, Wan Sushi took Lin Ping’er’s hand and said, “You are truly fortunate, your children are all outstanding, and I can’t help but envy you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that happiness boosts spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Lin Ping’er wore a brand new outfit, with a silver hairpin in her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she looked beaming, appearing four or five years younger than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are too kind to me, Caiyue’s mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are your children not remarkable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really like your Caiyue,” Lin Ping’er said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Caiyue can’t compare to Ruozhu; you see, Ruozhu is educated and reasonable, diligent and competent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a blessing of several lifetimes for any family to get such a good daughter-in-law.” Wan Sushi was straightforward and spoke what was on her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Bai Ruozhu’s marriage was mentioned, Lin Ping’er’s smile faded a bit and her face showed a hint of worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t misunderstand me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just want to ask whether Ruozhu has plans to remarry.” Seeing Lin Ping’er’s expression change, Wan Sushi quickly explained her intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er made a bitter smile, “Changsheng’s life or death is still unknown, so even if she wants to remarry, she has to wait at least three years from the date he disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, considering Ruozhu’s situation, I’m afraid it’s not easy to find a good family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the guy is not good enough, I can’t bear to see her wronged.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why wouldn’t she find a good match?” Wan Sushi was anxious upon hearing that, “Don’t you know that several families in the village think highly of Ruozhu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, she felt that she may have exaggerated a bit, but she refused to believe that after today, other families wouldn’t be interested in her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er’s face regained its luster, “Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ruozhu is so capable and beautiful, she’s certainly popular among the men.” Wan Sushi almost blurted out: doesn’t my second son like her very much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case, I would feel much more relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, we should ask Ruozhu’s opinion first and find a family that will be nice to Dengdeng,” Lin Ping’er responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Sushi nodded, “Then we have to find a local family, one with good family values, and the man must be honest and decent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er nodded along, “You are absolutely right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Bai Ruozhu finished nursing Dengdeng and handed him back to Lin Ping’er, she exchanged a few words with Wan Sushi and hurried towards the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already time for the first round of guests to finish eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the main table, where the officials were seated, hadn’t cleared out yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They continued chatting and drinking, effectively keeping the banquet alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Family and the others were busy cleaning dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zehao and Bai Zepei were both helping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Deshun’s daughter-in-law had finished her meal and rolled up her sleeves, saying, “Let me help with dishwashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve eaten too much of your delicious food, and now I have to do some work to aid digestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to feel bloated!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu appreciated her initiative to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thanked her with a smile and said, “Thank you, Auntie.” On such a busy day, no one had time for politeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Deshun’s daughter-in-law joined Liu Family in washing the dishes, Li Family and Bai Lianhua were busy serving cold dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu and Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin started cooking hot dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the cold dishes were served outside, a new wave of guests sat down to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zehao was going from table to table, pouring wine for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was visibly enjoying the bustle, as one could tell from the constant smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Bai Ruozhu was busy with the hot dishes, the noise from outside seemed to quiet down a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu furrowed her brow, having an inkling of who might have arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly finished the dishes and filled six plates with food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she called Li Family and Bai Lianhua to help serve the dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, she saw the old man had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was glaring with anger and dressed in a gray-white outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On such a day of his great-grandson’s rejoicing, wearing such clothing was utterly inappropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu sneered inwardly, thinking who was the old man trying to vex by doing this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one didn’t know better, they would think his eldest son had died and he was mourning him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second son, come out!” Grandpa shouted angrily, shocking everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Village Chief and several senior villagers were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Village Chief laughed and said: “Bai Fu, it’s your great-grandson’s wedding today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything’s bothering you, try to discuss it calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t spoil everyone’s mood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Fu was somewhat afraid of the Village Chief, and thus, he lowered his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Village Chief, it’s not I, Bai Fu, who’s making trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s because there is a troublemaker in Bai Family!” Bai Fu said, his moustache quivering with anger, “You all don’t know, my Third Son’s leg is injured again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doctor Li said he needs another month of rest at least, and it might even leave after-effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could I not be anxious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Village Chief was taken aback, “How did he get injured again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what does it have to do with Yihong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s been here, drinking with us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people chimed in, saying that since the wedding procession returned, Bai Yihong had been with them, and hadn’t left at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even during the wedding procession, they had watched the whole process and nobody saw the Third Son of Bai Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they blame Bai Yihong if his leg was injured again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, Yihong didn’t cause the injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he is the head of the Second House.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t control others, so I can only talk to him.” Grandpa sighed as though he was an old man dealing with ungrateful children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what exactly happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s not a serious matter, wait until Zehao’s wedding is over to discuss it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t delay the boy’s big day.” The Village Chief was becoming increasingly dismissive of the old Bai mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since the old mansion had been so spiteful to the wedding party before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Bai Fu’s attitude now, he was becoming impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My eldest son’s life or death is still uncertain, yet these youngsters are being so extravagant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’ve forgotten their own roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a wedding banquet is fine, but making such a big fuss, do they think they’re the lord of the manor?” Bai Fu glanced at Bai Zehao disparagingly and began to scold him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holding the wedding banquet is one thing, but Xiaosi went to make trouble for my Third Son, and as result, his leg worsened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaosi is such a small child, what does he understand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t he just following someone’s lead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impatient with his complaints, Bai Ruozhu interjected, “We spend the most time together, so does Grandpa think I instigated Xiaosi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandpa looked at her without shying away and snorted coldly, “What, you don’t want to admit it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, when Bai Fu said Bai Zehao had invited so many people to his wedding, many villagers were displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man was expressing gratitude to the villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your criticism seems to suggest that we’re unworthy of attending a wedding banquet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Bai Fu targeted Bai Ruozhu, someone spoke up, “Bai, you’re just guessing, aren’t you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We all saw that Ruozhu has been busy cooking meals in the kitchen all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t have managed to meddle in your Third Son’s situation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then how did Xiaosi end up in front of my house?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tofu workshop has seen it, how do you explain this?” Bai Fu glared back at the villagers, shouting.\u003C\u002Fp>",1369,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.305Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","37d01d2455fff4561fd7691713bdbb952563b6ba012edc59c9a1d94075b92f34","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-341","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-339",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
