Weisan greeted Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun before immediately rushing the horse carriage out of the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Bai Ruozhu had spoken to her family, Jiang Yichun approached her father, mother, and sister-in-law and said, “I’m sorry for causing you worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong, who had always treated him like a son, patted his shoulder and said, “Chang Sheng, it’s good to have you back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, call me Yichun from now on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My real name is Jiang Yichun,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t previously made his identity known, but now he was serving as an official under his real name, so there was no need for pretense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright, let’s go inside and talk.” Bai Yihong responded, somewhat excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that Bai Ruozhu regained her bearings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to her parents and asked, “Do we have guests at home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lin Ping’er’s face turned stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could explain, someone emerged from the main house, laughing and waving to Bai Ruozhu, “Ruozhu, what a coincidence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s been years since we last met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you still remember your aunt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman speaking was a lady with a slightly round face who resembled Bai Yihong somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was in her forties, and there were already flecks of white in her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu paused for a moment, then quickly identified the woman’s relationship to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was Bai Ruozhu’s father’s elder sister, named Bai Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had married into the Kuai Family in Beiyu City before Bai Ruozhu’s birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Bai Ruozhu was young, her aunt Bai Yun used to return home for New Year celebrations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she got into a terrible argument with her father and grandmother one year and stopped returning to Back Mountain Village altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her previous life’s memories, her impressions of her aunt Bai Yun were faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not have any particularly unpleasant memories of her, just that her aunt’s husband had also been an elderly scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife had been a merchant’s daughter whose family ran a dye workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu bowed to her aunt and said, “Even though it’s been many years, how could I forget you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yun walked over, smiling, and took her hand, “What a good child, you’ve grown so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve become really beautiful.” Then, she turned to Jiang Yichun and asked, “Is this your son-in-law?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun immediately bowed to her, “Aunt, just call me Yichun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er, looking a little odd, intervened, “Let’s not stand around talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go sit inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was so happy I completely forgot.” Bai Yun apologized with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she led Bai Ruozhu by the arm into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu, unaccustomed to such close interaction with someone she didn’t know well, felt a bit uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing the grey hair at Bai Yun’s temples, she didn’t have the heart to pull away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wondered why her aunt, who hasn’t communicated with them for many years, had shown up now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it her first time visiting, or had she stopped by several times already?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they had entered the house, Bai Yun approached Little Dengdeng and affectionately stroked his little hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out a silver lock and handed it to him, saying, “This is a gift from your great-aunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you like it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng, a little money freak, joyously laughed upon receiving the silver lock, and waved his little hands showing his great delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yun also laughed, causing the crow’s-feet at the corner of her eyes to deepen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu quickly expressed her son’s gratitude to her aunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the silver lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t newly made and had an antique look, but on closer inspection, it had been polished to a brilliant shine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er sighed quietly upon seeing the silver lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu observed everything and felt even more puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t question further, deciding to ask her mother about it in private later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since Ruozhu and her husband are back home, your aunt will stay for lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your eldest and second brothers will be coming home soon, so we can all catch up,” Lin Ping’er said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, I can’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to take care of my elderly in-laws at home today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We didn’t plan for it, so maybe another day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll arrange for it and then come over for a meal,” Bai Yun replied with an apologetic smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yun’s in-laws were in their seventies and indeed needed someone to look after them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yun spoke with Bai Ruozhu for a while longer before deciding to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu quickly took out some of the gifts she had brought from the capital and gave her a share, saying she should take them home for the old Kuai couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yun accept the gifts without much protest and promised to have the Bai family over for a meal soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Bai Yun had left, Bai Ruozhu took her mother’s arm and asked, “Mother, why did my aunt suddenly visit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there anything in particular?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er glanced at Bai Yihong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both look puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu felt a knot in her stomach—was her aunt struggling in business and seeking help from her family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own family was now doing rather well in their ventures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family returned to the house, where Lin Ping’er sighed, “Your aunt has never had a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look, your father is already a grandfather, but she…” Unable to finish, she just sighed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong also sighed, “It’s your aunt who wanted to adopt a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had thought of asking for Xiaosi from our family…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Bai Ruozhu’s mood sank, as if her brother was being forcefully taken away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t she supposed to adopt a child from the Kuai relatives?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are they setting their sights on Xiaosi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Kuai family is also thin on descendants, and all their relatives have only one child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would be willing to give their child up for adoption?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your aunt is quite a proud person, and she feels a bit distant from other children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why she didn’t adopt a child until now,” explained Lin Ping’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu frowned, “Doesn’t she know that Xiaosi isn’t a blood relative of the Bai Family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what’s there for her to adopt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She knows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she doesn’t visit the village, she keeps tabs on the affairs of the old mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just had a bitter quarrel with your grandparents and didn’t want to return home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knows that we are raising Xiaosi, and we know his background well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kuai family will also rest assured that the adopted child with the surname Kuai will inherit the Kuai family business in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kuai family own a dye workshop, and as long as they do not squander their wealth, it will be enough for a lifetime,” said Lin Ping’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her mother’s words, Bai Ruozhu understood that she was leaning towards this proposition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even believed it would be an additional insurance for Xiaosi’s future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Bai Ruozhu didn’t agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She plainly said, “Xiaosi doesn’t need the Kuai family’s property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can earn him an even larger share.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong patted Lin Ping’er’s shoulder and said, “Let’s consider their feelings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sighed involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu watched all this in silence, wondering why her parents were behaving this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they feeling too much pity for Bai Yun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as Bai Ruozhu was about to ask more questions, there came an urgent knock on the door, and a woman’s voice rang out, “Lady Bai, has Miss Ruozhu returned yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mistress pains have started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the baby is coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh dear, it’s the maid from Red Sleeve’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’d better go and have a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Sleeve’s been constantly asking if you’re back because she’s due soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s been worried and keeps thinking about you,” Lin Ping’er said anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it looks like the baby is about to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother, would you accompany me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could use your help,” Bai Ruozhu quickly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>",1350,"2026-05-30T14:09:11.592Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","d5668c2f5acdd602999b49d8f5f568ceb2f4cd71a454c831a6d647b2d05c1cd0","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-771","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-769",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
