startled not only the crowd, but also Bai Ruolan in the adjacent room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She now suffered from brain damage, behaving like a child, barely managing her daily life, while being easily frightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even hid in her room every day, too scared to come out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, she was covering her ears, constantly screaming in a piercingly shrill way that terrified everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here we go again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can’t even make the slightest noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I dare not even walk heavily now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s so annoying.” The old lady complained, covering her ears and pretending to have a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she sat down heavily, obviously not wanting to get involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er frowned and looked at the old lady, asking, “Didn’t her mother take her away?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Humph, she’s visited twice but hasn’t mentioned taking Ruolan away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I even suggested that if she cares about her daughter, she should take her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she claimed that Ruolan is a Bai family member and that her father’s health cannot be disturbed by her recovery.” The old lady dismissed with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu squinted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the Wang Family not wanting to take care of their daughter, or were they afraid of getting poisoned again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed she should pay a visit to the Wang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er couldn’t bear it and briskly walked toward Bai Ruolan’s room, which Bai Ruozhu and the others followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ruolan, don’t be afraid, it’s your second aunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything is fine,” Lin Ping’er gently assured as she approached her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screaming from Bai Ruolan had subsided, but she was cowering at the edge of the fireplace, covering her ears tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were filled with terror and helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was heart-wrenching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Bai Ruozhu entered the room, Bai Ruolan suddenly jumped down and rushed toward Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was holding Dengdeng in her arms and was startled, fearing Bai Ruolan might harm the child in a fit of madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly backed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, her father was right behind her, and before she knew it, she backed into him, stopping her movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Bai Ruolan had already pounced on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, instead of reaching for Dengdeng in Bai Ruozhu’s arms, she grabbed onto Bai Ruozhu’s leg, crouched down like a small kitten, and shivered on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruolan had never gotten along with Bai Ruozhu and seemed to heavily dislike her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would she act this way now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu regained her composure and let out a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quietly said, “Perhaps it’s because I was the first person she saw when she woke up that day and comforting her, she has subconsciously seen me as her mother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruolan’s posture and expression truly resembled a small animal clinging to her mother for protection, which made everyone’s hearts ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu handed the sleeping Dengdeng to her mother and crouched down to aid Bai Ruolan to her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gently said, “Don’t be afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you lie down on the bed and rest?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruolan refused and desperately shook her head, clinging tightly to her legs as if she was afraid she would disappear once she fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was reminded of her previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father would always sneak out of the house for work while she was asleep before he got addicted to drugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, she learned to stay awake, gripping onto her father, almost exactly like Bai Ruolan’s current state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what shall we do?” Lin Ping’er wiped her reddening eyes and asked with a heartache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu sighed and said, “Let’s take her away with us later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll try to send her to the Wang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’ll be better off there than here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m sure my grandmother would agree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei then turned to pay the old lady with silver coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she had her money, the old lady didn’t keep them any longer and urged, “You go on with your business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t interfere with my hosting of guests later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandma, we’re taking Ruolan with us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s better if she stays with her mother under her current condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way you won’t have to worry about her,” said Bai Ruozhu as she took Bai Ruolan’s hand and walked out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady suddenly looked favorably upon Bai Ruozhu, smiling widely she said, “You’re right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her biological mother will definitely take better care of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can go ahead and handle it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone snickered to themselves, bid their goodbyes to the old lady, and left the old mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving, they saw Zhou carrying a tray of broken plates and bowls from Sanlang’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady asked with some concern, “Did Sanlang lose his temper at you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I accidentally knocked them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll buy some new ones for mother,” Zhou replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You truly have a good heart, even covering for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a stepmother like you, he should improve his behavior,” the old lady said cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu walked slowly away with her family, but she overheard the conversation between the old lady and Zhou without missing a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was utterly disgusted and almost threw up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How naïve must the old lady be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pair were messing around right under her nose and she noticed nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she even thought Zhou was a good stepmother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was unbelievable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the family was heading to the Wan Family residence, Lin Ping’er quietly moved to Bai Ruozhu’s side and asked in a low voice, “Ruozhu, something seems off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou stay in Sanlang’s room for so long?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu gave her mother a nod of approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother was indeed more perceptive than the old lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think they were doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My ears aren’t deceiving me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard them,” Bai Ruozhu said in a lowered voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er’s eyes widened, “That’s…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>shocking…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu gestured for her mother to keep quiet, “Don’t let father know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would definitely confront the old lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the old lady only believes in Zhou now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a dispute occurs, we won’t end up in a good situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without concrete proof, we might even be accused of slander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, even if the truth comes out, it would be an embarrassing matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since we can’t do anything about it, let them do as they please.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sooner or later, karma will find them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er showed an expression of contempt and said, “You’re right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s ignore them as if we’ve just seen dogs mating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu had to suppress her laughter, she understood what her mother meant by dogs mating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing dogs mating is a common sight in rural areas, so the villagers had grown accustomed to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family soon arrived at the doorstep of the Wan Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruolan was gripping Bai Ruozhu’s hand tightly, looking very nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was concerned that taking her to the Wan Family might scare them if she suddenly had an episode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Bai Ruolan was clinging to her, she couldn’t send her away in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she gently stroked her hair and comfortingly said, “Don’t be scared, I’m here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Promise not to shout, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruolan, who could still understand other people’s words, obediently nodded at Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Wan house, it was Wan Caiyue’s elder brother, Wan Mingfu who greeted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face lit up with joy as he said, “It’s Uncle Bai’s family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come in and let’s talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the commotion, the rest of the Wan Family came out warmly to greet the entry, even Wan Qilao made an appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong quickly presented the dim sum, saying, “These are gifts from Zepei and Ruozhu after their trip to Beiyu City, a small token of our respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will be moving to Beiyu City the day after tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I apologize for this meaning you will not be able to see Caiyue as often.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1337,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.305Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","44fc27add03197d9cabca91b82cfa8fafa1b84c594b1c47ff21171631ca6c95a","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-449","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-447",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
