Family’s Rooster Can Lay Eggs What Bai Ruozhu said was heartfelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupling it with the unemotional memories of her past life and what she had seen and heard after transmigrating, she didn’t have the slightest bit of regard for Bai Yibo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was an adult still stuck in the status of kindergarten, shamelessly looking down on his hardworking younger brother who supported their family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a moral standpoint, this man was already problematic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in terms of ability, although it was not a problem for him as an old ‘student’ to teach a group of village kids, children’s early education is often crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they start learning on the wrong track, the route ahead will only deviate further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he didn’t pass on any bad habits to the school children, his own learning methods were flawed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he imparted these methods to the kids, what good could come of their futures?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, the village had limited resources and couldn’t afford to feed a teacher with a large appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone like Bai Yibo went to the school, they would either incur the wrath of the entire village on the Bai Family or bankrupt the village school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong took a breath but didn’t comment further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bai Ruozhu could see that her father took great care in carving the desk for the village teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, he respected intellectuals, on the other, he was grateful for the teacher educating the village children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he didn’t like the idea of his elder son becoming this teacher, which indicated he was clearly aware of his eldest son’s character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu bid her father goodbye and set off, pondering as she walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the village elder really allow Bai Yibo to become a teacher at the village school?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was possible, but it would certainly be a difficult task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was deep in thought when she heard a young voice from not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Sister Bai, thank you!” The voice, full of youthful vigor, was tinged with timidity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, Bai Ruozhu saw Xi Dandan, the boy she had once saved at the riverside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was now in better health with a rosy complexion, she couldn’t help but frown and say, “You nearly lost your life this morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can you be out playing again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go home and rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to her, Xi Dandan pouted, “My grandmother said I’ve got great luck and wouldn’t fall ill that easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She forbade you people from cursing me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder such a small child could play by the river so early, such lax parenting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was genuinely confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t the old lady of the Zhu Family love her grandson to death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why did it look like she wanted to harm him instead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should listen to your grandmother then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m leaving.” Bai Ruozhu felt at a loss for words and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing her, Xi Dandan unhappily commented, “No wonder my grandmother calls you a shrew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My dad gave you our chicken to eat, resulting in fewer chickens to lay eggs in our house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will have fewer eggs to eat from now on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu knew she shouldn’t stoop to a child’s level, but she couldn’t help it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, go home and ask if a rooster lays eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chicken your father gave us is a rooster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How does that affect your egg consumption?” Bai Ruozhu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Dandan was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was only eight years old, he knew that roosters did not lay eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only crowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if my grandmother says so, then it must be true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t argue against that.” Xi Dandan seemed to be at a loss for words and grumbled in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu sighed, “Xi Dandan, you’re eight years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few years, you’ll be considered an adult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s time you discerned between right and wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t always believe what your grandmother says, think for yourself too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, she didn’t bother with Xi Dandan anymore and headed home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning, Lin Ping’er asked Bai Ruozhu, “Where’d you go off to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you digested your meal yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu laughed, “Almost there.” She then reluctantly recounted her encounter with Xi Dandan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er, who was sewing by an oil lamp inside, couldn’t help but laugh, and even Bai Yihong, who was cooling off in the yard, joined in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Zhu Pozi really knows how to talk, she can even convince others that roosters can lay eggs.” Lin Ping’er said, both exasperated and amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong shook his head in disbelief, “Zhu Pozi is really something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu’s uncle passed away early, and she seems intent on ruining the Zhu Family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, haven’t you heard the saying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marrying a good daughter-in-law makes a family rich for three generations, and marrying a bad one destroys them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t Zhu Pozi harming her own grandson?” Bai Ruozhu said, coming out from the house and sitting in the yard to cool off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong nodded in agreement, then said contemplatively, “I hope your elder brother can marry a good wife and our family prospers for several generations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, rest assured, Sister Caiyue will be a good sister-in-law and daughter-in-law.” Bai Ruozhu assured with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Bai Yihong heard his daughter’s words, it was as if he had taken a heart-relieving pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately felt much more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, when Bai Ruozhu finally had time to meet Fang Guizhi, she took out the money from the apricot preserves and counted half of it for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi flat out refused to accept it, “I have heard about your run-in with Old Lady Wang and later how you got troubled by Wang LaiDi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cannot accept this money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I had not been unable to accompany you, you wouldn’t have encountered so much trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi’s words made Bai Ruozhu blush with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could her troubles have anything to do with Guizhi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Guizhi had accompanied her, she would have still found a way to involve the gossip-loving Old Lady Wang and carried on with their plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she did not want to reveal this to Fang Guizhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how close they were, everyone has their own secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guizhi, where did your thoughts wander off to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I hadn’t run into Wang LaiDi while on my way to town, how would I have known she was trying to harm me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In case she really had brought people to my house to cause a scene, not even jumping into the Yellow River would wash away the blame.” Bai Ruozhu said, laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You need to deduct the cost and expenses, or else I won’t agree to split the earnings with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t let you suffer a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A friendship cannot last if anyone feels disadvantaged.” Fang Guizhi said with a stern face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu felt as though she was seeing Fang Guizhi for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Guizhi was a young girl, she had a clear understanding of things and strict principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, let’s do it your way.” Bai Ruozhu deducted the cost, deliberately undervaluing some of it, and deducted her carriage fare with Old Lady Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then gave half the money to Fang Guizhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi took the copper coins and counted them one by one, looking delighted, “Ruozhu, I’ve got some money now, and so much of it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu felt a pang in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This child was clearly ill-treated at home, not having a penny to her name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for buying a bottle of soy sauce she barely received enough money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she would never take advantage of her friend’s kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if her friend felt that she had worked hard and it wouldn’t be unfair, she still insisted not to take advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw valuables qualities in Fang Guizhi.\u003C\u002Fp>",1332,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.304Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","435d8aaf5365cb34d510fd554e30b78334cf55c7988503f6b8bc7dd427de93f1","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-54","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-52",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
