Seems to Have Changed In the main house, Bai Yihong was earnestly trying to persuade Lin Ping’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our daughter isn’t wrong, do you see her spending recklessly or wasting money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hired a carriage out of consideration for the family, she bought a horse for her two brothers, and yet you publicly criticized her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You didn’t spare our daughter’s dignity,” said Bai Yihong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er was already persuaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blushing at his words, she stammered, “I…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s a whole household to feed, it’s a lot of pressure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong could not help laughing, “Look at you worrying over such small matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You used to chide me all the time and now you’re panicking over a few more people to feed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhang and Lin families came to rely on Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Ruozhu can manage them well, why should you worry unnecessarily?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling aggrieved, Lin Ping’er replied, “Am I not just worried for our daughter and concerned for her wellbeing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our daughter is very capable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We should not constantly second-guess her and hold her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those families came to pledge their allegiance to our daughter, and yet you publically humiliated her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How will she command their respect in the future?” Bai Yihong reiterated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er dabbed at the corner of her eyes and slightly lowered her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In hindsight, she realized her worry was premature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruozhu always understood her boundaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having convinced the Zhang and Lin families to rely on her, Ruozhu surely must have had complete confidence in herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You overthink because of your concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be good if you could be like me and not fret so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a couple of years, we’ll be playing with our grandchildren and enjoy a comfortable retirement.” Bai Yihong had been in high spirits lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his winter vegetable cultivation scheme was still undetermined, as if he’d discovered a treasure, his demeanor had completely transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly getting up, Lin Ping’er said, “I’ll go and talk to our daughter, so she doesn’t feel upset.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong smiled, “Indeed, you truly care about our daughter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Lin Ping’er went to the backyard with Bai Yihong, they saw Ruozhu holding Little Dengdeng and petting a horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng was giggling and babbling excitedly in his mother’s hold, his face flushing with sheer joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing her mother, Bai Ruozhu immediately called out with a smile: “Mother, come over here and hold your grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s overjoyed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er had been slightly embarrassed beforehand and was struggling to find the right words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing her daughter’s beaming expression, Lin Ping’er instantly put her discomfort aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly walked over and took Little Dengdeng in her arms, gladly saying, “Seeing how much Dengdeng loves the horse, it was a good decision to buy it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong sneakily winked at his daughter, giving her a simple-minded grin, as if to imply, “I’ve taken care of your mother”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu and Wan Caiyue both couldn’t help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family continued watching the horse, not disturbing Wa San as he worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiftly fetched water to clean the horse’s coat, explaining to Bai Ruozhu: “It’s important to wash a newly bought horse thoroughly, so that the young masters can ride it without worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu felt that his form of address was a bit off and told him, “You can call my parents ‘Master’ and ‘Madam’, and you can call me ‘Miss’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong felt a bit embarrassed hearing this and laughed awkwardly, “You can just call me ‘Bai Bro’, I don’t like being called ‘Master’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wa San promptly replied: “Master, please don’t say that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I call you ‘Bai Bro’, won’t Miss have to call me ‘Uncle’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can’t mess up the hierarchy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wa San’s position was different from the Zhang and Lin families, and since Bai Ruozhu wasn’t completely aware of his background, it was appropriate to clarify their relations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the wife of the eldest son, and this is my second sister,” Bai Ruozhu introduced to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wa San respectfully addressed them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Caiyue and Fang Guizhi found the situation a bit awkward, and both of them blushed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the family returned to the front courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi was somewhat excited, “I’m the second sister now, how nice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu laughed at her, “Later, I’ll even buy a maid to wait on you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’ll serve as your dowry maid in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi blushed even more and hastily retorted, “What maid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What dowry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stop saying nonsense!” After that, she ran off to the kitchen shyly to do some work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er laughed heartily, “After the new year, we should start to find a match for Guizhi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu thought about Guizhi’s affections for Zepei and a hint of concern flashed in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Guizhi seemed to have cheered up a lot recently and was probably more accepting of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, now that she could often leave the house and was no longer confined within a small courtyard, her mood seemed to have brightened quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Bai Zepei returned from the Academy in the afternoon, he looked somewhat unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Bai Ruozhu, he seemed to have something to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon noticing this, Ruozhu smiled and said, “Second brother, I bought a horse for you and elder brother to practice horsemanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would you like to come to the backyard to see it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gratitude flashed in Bai Zepei’s eyes; he nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go and have a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked towards the backyard and saw that no one was around, Bai Zepei finally started, “Little sister, did Madam Meng give you any trouble today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard about it in the Academy, but I don’t know the specifics.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was surprised, “Second brother, you heard about it in the Academy already?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the news really spread that quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope no one has been laughing at you because of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei didn’t answer her question, instead furrowing his brows and sternly saying, “We haven’t done anything wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t matter what they think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, your second brother, will stand up for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second brother, don’t be impulsive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Meng and Old Madam Meng will handle this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not necessary for you to offend Princess Wang,” Bai Ruozhu hurriedly advised, knowing her second brother might really take a stand for her, even if it meant offending others unnecessarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know what I’m doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You just tell me what happened,” Bai Zepei demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu gave him a rough rundown of events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei felt relieved upon learning that Bai Ruozhu had luckily gone to the backyard just in time to avoid any trouble from Wang Miaoshuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stories he heard conveyed such an exaggerated scenario that even suggested his sister had been disfigured by Princess Wang and sent back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he didn’t believe those rumours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his sister’s capability to some extent, but still couldn’t help worrying that she might have been wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two talked as they wandered around the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they went to the stable to see the newly bought horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wa San was feeding the horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feed had come as a complimentary gift with the horse’s purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, Young Master,” Wa San greeted upon seeing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been their driver for a while now and was quite familiar with the Bai family members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve worked hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you finish on this, go and rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll call you when we need you to do something,” Bai Ruozhu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not hard at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This job is much easier compared to my previous work back on the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only issue is the quality of this feed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should buy something better for this horse,” Wa San said, pointing at the complimentary feed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu took out two taels of silver and handed them to Wa San, saying, “Well, I’ll leave it to you to buy some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, buy some for your own horse, just calculate how much you need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wa San held the silver somewhat nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected Miss Bai to trust him so much to give him two taels of silver just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t she afraid that he’d squander the money or run away with it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One tael will be enough, there’s no need to spend that much,” he hastily said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You keep it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, while you’re out, can you help me order a saddle, stirrups and such for the horse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think this much should cover the deposit, right?” Bai Ruozhu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely, it’s more than enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll go right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei quietly listened to his sister handling matters proficiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that she’d matured considerably and seemed to have transformed into a different person.\u003C\u002Fp>",1481,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.304Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","d0de02bb063ddde3616ed6ae8a8b4b18e66eea58fc60766382e14f29d0f5437e","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-481","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-479",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
