eat you up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right up until they left the Government Office and boarded the horse carriage, Bai Yihong felt a chill running down his spine, as if he had been touched by frostbite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His daughter had finally arranged for him to do something and he had completely messed it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu understood her father’s feelings and held his arm, saying: “Dad, there are so many scammers these days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I once received some dried fish, then thought about reselling it to the rich for a profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guess what happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong was drawn in by her words, perking up from his previous despondency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?” He quickly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That man took my dried fish and gave me a one-hundred tael silver banknote.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I told him I couldn’t break the note, so he said he’d go into his house and find me some broken silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after waiting a long time, he never came out again.” Actually, this story was made up by Bai Ruozhu, adapted from her previous life’s experience of selling goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was not entirely fictitious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn’t you tell us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We could have helped get it back!” Bai Yihong said furiously, he had no idea his daughter had been slighted in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu laughed, “They couldn’t pick on me that easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pounded in front of their door, made so much noise that their neighbours knew about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they had no choice but to return my dried fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, I found out after I got home that two pieces were missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was too lazy to argue with them, and eventually, those dried fish ended up on the banquet table at our eldest brother’s wedding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not easy for a girl like you to sell things all by yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next time, call me and your elder and second brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one dares to bully you then.” Bai Yihong said indignantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu nodded vigorously, “Yes, I’ll remember that next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong didn’t seem as upset, Bai Ruozhu then added: “Dad, it’s not often that land purchases go smoothly on the first try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe if we save more money, we can buy even better land later on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I’ll be more careful next time and directly arrange to meet them at the Government Office to complete the paperwork.” Bai Yihong reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Pingr was listening on the side without interrupting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew her daughter was trying to pacify her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the story, she felt the same heartache for her daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her daughter had run around tirelessly to provide for the family, enduring hardships they were unaware of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they finally arrived home, Bai Ruozhu got off the carriage and thanked the Tu siblings: “Thank you, Brother Tu, and Tu Ying, for your help today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise we would have been beaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t leave at noon, I’ll make some good dishes, and treat you both well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Bai’s eyes lit up with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had previously heard from his classmates about the wonderful meals they had had at the Bai family’s place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sceptical but was curious enough to seize this opportunity to see if his classmates’ stories were true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Ying was also excited, she rolled up her sleeves and said: “Ruozhu, let me help you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Bai couldn’t help but laugh, “You cook?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t destroy their kitchen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offended, Tu Ying swung her fists at him, “Brother, didn’t you get a good enough beating earlier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Want to go a round with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, hey, we are guests, so we have to act with some restraint.” Tu Bai said while he retreated behind Bai Zepei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear his actions didn’t match his words, he was just afraid of being hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tu siblings made everyone in the Bai family laugh, Bai Ruozhu, too was laughing and now went into the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There she noticed that Guizhi was washing vegetables with a somewhat somber expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu wanted to comfort her, but didn’t know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been pretending not to know about Guizhi’s feelings for their second brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a while, she playfully patted Guizhi’s shoulder and said: “Guizhi, you have no idea how thrilling our day was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We encountered a scammer while buying land, and he even hired goons to surround us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all wielding sickles and hoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was scared to death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Guizhi was startled, “What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bai Ruozhu busied herself with preparing the meal, she narrated the story about their land buying experience in a dramatic fashion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon she had drawn Guizhi’s full attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So engrossed was Guizhi in the tale, she even forgot to prepare the vegetables in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared, wide-eyed, as if she feared the bandits would hurt Bai Ruozhu and the others if she blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until she heard that the thug, Li Mazi, and his cronies were in prison that Guizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying with a sense of bewilderment: “We were really lucky to have had the Tu siblings with us today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu just hummed faintly, and secretly observed Guizhi’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon mention of the Tu siblings, the feeling was more of gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guizhi was a kind-hearted girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she disliked Tu Ying because of Bai Zepei, she would still feel genuinely grateful to Tu Ying for assisting the Bai family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu kept herself busy cooking, not wanting to comfort Guizhi any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed that Guizhi would come to a realization on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking the current status quo would make things more awkward for Guizhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai family’s lunch was a little late today, as Bai Ruozhu cooked plenty of dishes and sent Wa San out to buy good quality wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the number of guests, they set up two tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the banquet started, the Tu siblings and the Bai family sat at the main table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t follow any gender-segregation rules, instead, they raised their glasses in a toast, creating a lively atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the table full of dishes, Tu Ying clapped her hands and exclaimed: “No wonder even the owner of the Welcome Inn asked you for your recipes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your dishes are even better than the ones at Welcome Inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They look so delicious I’m salivating just by looking at them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu winked at her, “Wait until you’ve tasted them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll be drooling even more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, everyone dig in, thank Tu Bai and Tu Ying for today, make sure you eat a lot!” Bai Yihong said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, thank you, Uncle Bai.” Tu Bai and Tu Ying said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone started eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the son of a military family, Tu Bai didn’t observe any etiquette like the scholars did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he started eating, he threw caution to the wind and started gulping down food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While eating, he couldn’t but say: “The guys in the Academy were not wrong, the food is indeed delicious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was elated to see her guests enjoying the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Guizhi was no longer downcast and even chatted a bit with Tu Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meal ended and some pleasant conversation, the Tu siblings apologized for leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she left, Tu Ying couldn’t help but steal glances at Bai Zepei, who was maintaining a cold demeanor and pretending not to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having had some wine, Tu Bai threw a punch at Bai Zepei and demanded, “Where has your courtesy gone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she is just an ordinary friend, you shouldn’t be pulling such a long face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What, is she going to eat you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fearing her brother might hurt Bai Zepei, Tu Ying quickly dragged her brother away, “Brother, you’re drunk, let’s go home quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If mom finds out, she will surely beat you up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Bai shrank back, as though truly afraid of his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped bothering with Bai Zepei and allowed his sister to walk him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Ying turned around and smiled apologetically at Bai Zepei and Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Tu siblings had left, Lin Pingr grabbed Bai Zepei and pulled him into their room for a “thorough interrogation”.\u003C\u002Fp>",1372,"2026-05-30T14:09:09.448Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","3e89fab18bde9f746337ebca88144c3dd40e8d062431135ec072c553427784fa","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-621","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-619",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
