About Ji Ziyan Bai Ruozhu took Dengdeng into her arms from him and let him finish his food which was still hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeqing was enthusiastically tucking into his meal, which made Dengdeng curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also stretched out his little hand wanting some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Darling, you’re too young for it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Food with oil and salt doesn’t taste good to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least before you’re one, you can’t eat anything salty,” Bai Ruozhu gently explained to her son on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After slurping up a mouthful of noodles, Jiang Yichun laughed, “You really have patience with the baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with me, you’re always snapping.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu shot him a glare, thinking to herself, it’s all because you’ve been keeping things from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It serves you right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he continued eating, Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment before saying, “I’ve invested all the silver you left for me to manage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve made a fair bit of money from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you need any?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you want me to get you your share of the earnings?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s face stiffened momentarily at her words but quickly forced a smile, saying, “What do I need money for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve got everything I need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you have to pay back the money you borrowed from Xu Huilin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was what Bai Ruozhu almost blurted out, but she decided against speaking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not right to eavesdrop on others after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to their room that night, Jiang Yichun wore a mischievous grin and suggested, “Your noodles were so delicious; I may have eaten a little too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How about we get some activity in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu immediately understood what he was implying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was definitely getting a bad influence from him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I can’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m on my period,” she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought you wouldn’t get your period while you breastfeed?” Jiang Yichun wore an expression of disappointment on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s what I’ve heard too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it goes to show that such claims can’t be trusted!” Bai Ruozhu grumbled, “I can’t, I’m feeling uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll go sleep now, you put our son to bed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having given birth and breastfeeding, this was Bai Ruozhu’s first period and she didn’t feel too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, Jiang Yichun stopped his playful jesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying next to her with Dengdeng in his arms, he softly offered, “Would you like me to massage your stomach?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu grunted an incoherent response, and his large hand soon found its place on her lower belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand was warm, gently massaging her stomach, giving her a warm and comfortable sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly asked, “What did you just now mean with ‘can’t be trusted’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was at a loss for words and after a moment’s thought, she responded, “It’s an expression used where I come from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s about using research to gain deeper understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, in our place, we have vehicles that don’t require horses but operate on kerosene and can go very fast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu wasn’t sure if Jiang Yichun understood her explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s eyes lit up with curiosity and he asked, “Would the kerosene set the vehicle on fire?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kerosene is a fuel that powers the vehicle,” explained Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding it too difficult to explain in detail, she quickly changed the topic and asked, “Why don’t we make a simple toy set for Dengdeng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of toy is it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as our son likes it, I’d be happy to make it,” Jiang Yichun nodded enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out to touch Dengdeng’s foot and gave it a gentle kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but chuckle, “It’s called building blocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re not difficult to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just carve pieces of wood into different shapes so that children can build houses with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It helps develop intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’d be even better to paint them with beautiful colors, just be careful not to use paint that peels off easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children like to put things in their mouth and that’s not healthy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of shapes are they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could you draw them out for me tomorrow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll make a set for our son,” Jiang Yichun suggested earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was happy for their son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own father never made her building blocks when she was young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gambling addiction eventually led to him physically abusing her and her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Dengdeng fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was also drowsy, poised to fall asleep any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to nod off, Jiang Yichun stopped massaging her stomach and quietly got out of bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found this strange, but was too exhausted to get up and investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She decided to wait for him to come back and ask him about it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to fall asleep while waiting for him, Jiang Yichun came back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed slightly damp, his hair a little wet and his face unusually clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through half-closed eyes, Bai Ruozhu observed him and couldn’t help but start giggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he taken a cold shower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Men usually do that when they need to cool their desires, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun shot her a glare, “Stop laughing and go to sleep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you keep laughing, I’ll tickle you till you stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu couldn’t stop laughing, “I’m on my period, you know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So you can’t do anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s only if you behave, otherwise I still have other ways,” Jiang Yichun joked, his gaze ticking to the generous curves of her chest…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu quickly covered her chest with her hands, closing her eyes and mouth—she was not going to provoke him anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got in bed chuckling but gave her some space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited for a good while for his body to warm up, only then did he move closer and wrap his arms around her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Bai Ruozhu was already half-asleep, she knew that he was worried his cold body would chill her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt so touched that she smiled, even in her sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, Jiang Yichun left in haste for an assignment from the Office of Communications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu went to chat with her mother before deciding to take Xiaosi to go and see Ji Ziyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering Xiaosi’s special circumstances, Bai Ruozhu hoped a familiar teacher could help him adapt to life at the private school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, since Ji Ziyan was Xie Dun’s friend, she could trust his character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she’d brought up the matter earlier with him, Bai Ruozhu thought it was the best day to arrange a visit and finalize matters since the opening of school was approaching fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bai Ruozhu took Xiaosi and not Dengdeng out with her, Dengdeng was left upset, hollering a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with his attention quickly switched to food, Bai Zhuozhu managed to lead Xiaosi away successfully.The two of them got into a horse carriage and gave Ji Ziyan’s address to Wa San.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu San, who was very familiar with Beiyu City, was able to locate Ji Ziyan’s residence quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, the carriage can’t get through here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll wait for you at the entrance, alright?” Wa San stopped the carriage and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu got off the carriage with Xiaosi, “Okay, we might take some time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu held Xiaosi’s hand, gently reminding him, “When we see Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ziyan, you must be polite and greet him, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaosi nodded, “Sis, I got it.” After a moment, he furrowed his brows, “Is the teacher very stern?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu chuckled, “No, he isn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve met him before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used to study with Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dun and is a really nice person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll like him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relieved, Xiaosi let out a long breath and his small body visibly relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them quickly reached the entrance of Ji Ziyan’s home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After knockıng on the door, Ji Ziyan came to open it, “Miss Bai, you’ve come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this must be Bai Zeqing, your brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaosi politely greeted Ji Ziyan, “Bai Zeqing greets Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Ziyan nodded, “A child that knows manners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come in and let’s talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu and Xiaosi entered the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she felt something off about Ji Ziyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if…\u003C\u002Fp>",1368,"2026-05-30T14:09:09.870Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","861552eb1475d250c41f93da9375ec3baddb5f480771fdf3bbf03ce979244316","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-683","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-681",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
