Tongue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chapter 82: Chapter 082: Will You Die If You Don’t Have a Sharp Tongue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once could be chalked up to luck, but twice probably means it’s not just luck anymore,” Bai Ruozhu had always believed that luck was integral to success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon inquiry, she found out that Fang Guizhi was quite the smooth talker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t boast to the customers, instead, she pinpointed their demands, showcasing the products’ advantages impressively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu once again split two taels of silver with Fang Guizhi, who chuckled so hard her mouth nearly split ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She handed the silver to Bai Ruozhu for safekeeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu took out a small wooden box in front of her, stashed the silver in, and hid it under the bed in a hidden compartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can trust me with this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’ll be your dowry later.” Laughing, Bai Ruozhu slapped the hidden compartment gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of a dowry, Fang Guizhi’s face flushed, but her eyes lit up with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four taels of silver were plenty for an average family’s dowry for their daughter, far more than what her own mother could provide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ruozhu, thank you,” Fang Guizhi grew sentimental, her eyes reddening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to resist herself, Bai Ruozhu reached out to flick Fang Guizhi’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably tired of being flicked by her elder brother, she took every chance she got to extend the same courtesy to Fang Guizhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Silly girl, you don’t need to thank me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Follow me, and there’s meat to eat,” Bai Ruozhu proclaimed, patting her own chest with valor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What ‘big sister’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re clearly two months younger than me!” Fang Guizhi dodged Bai Ruozhu’s teasing and looked at her bewilderedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scratching her head sheepishly, Bai Ruozhu realized she had addressed herself as the elder one in her enthusiasm, although Fang Guizhi really was two months older than her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, it means I can look out for you, not that I have to be older,” Bai Ruozhu explained while scratching her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi accepted the explanation and once again giggled doltishly, “Not only is there meat to eat by following you, but there’s also silver to be had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the days that followed, Bai Ruozhu felt no movement in her belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grew anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harvest season was approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she going to give birth during that busy time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will her child choose not to cause trouble, for once?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was unable to predict her child’s due date accurately as her predecessor’s menstrual cycle hadn’t been regular, plus she hadn’t kept diligent track of her dates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, given her estimates, she reckoned her due time had already come was wondering whether it was okay for the baby to be so inactive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that she wasn’t active enough during her pregnancy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did walk around every day, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linpinger detected Bai Ruozhu’s restlessness and tried to comfort her, “Children who tend to stay long in the belly turn out to be the smartest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are the closest to their mothers since they don’t want to leave their mother’s belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m sure yours will be a very loving and caring child.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did my elder brother linger in the belly too?” Bai Ruozhu’s eyes darted around, suspecting that her cunning elder brother must have done so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He probably did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were very busy at your grandmother’s place back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t even notice I was pregnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t any signs of morning sickness, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it took me around two or three months to notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I never had any clear calculation, the baby was not as premature as expected,” Linpinger explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That explanation reassured Bai Ruozhu to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she remembered from her previous life that after giving birth she would have to further care for the child, so keeping the baby in the womb for a bit longer seemed like the easier route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tomorrow is the Qixi Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should meet your friends and have some fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You never know, relaxing a bit might encourage the baby to come out,” Linpinger suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu hadn’t kept track of the Qixi Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a time when the girls celebrated their festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instantly thought of her adopted sister, Rongrong, and got re-energized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, I’ll go to town tomorrow to meet Rongrong, and along the way, I’ll drop off some presents for the Zhang family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, it’s time to return a gift to the Zhang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll accompany you tomorrow,” Linpinger agreed, nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu wanted to say that her mother was too busy and she would be fine with just Fang Guizhi accompanying her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she thought better of it, knowing her mother would not agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she could go into labor anytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early next morning, Bai Ruozhu, accompanied by her mother, hopped onto a donkey cart to go to town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After buying some festival gifts, Bai Ruozhu dragged her mother into a jewelry store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because the two didn’t look too conspicuous, none of the waiters attended to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Bai Ruozhu started browsing on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, is it okay if I gift these earrings to Rongrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I haven’t given her a meeting gift yet.” Bai Ruozhu pointed to a pair of earrings, small but intricately crafted, “Last time, I noticed Rongrong wearing a pierced ear, but she was only wearing tea stalks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young girls in poor families usually got their ears pierced early, but as they couldn’t afford earrings, they would insert a tea stalk in each hole instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appreciating her daughter’s taste, Linpinger promptly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s buy two pairs, one for you and the one for Rongrong.” As the future son-in-law was moving in, they were saved from offering a dowry, but it pained Linpinger’s heart to know that her daughter didn’t even own a piece of jewelry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, Bai Ruozhu waved her hands in refusal, “I won’t get myself one yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this heavy body, wearing earrings will be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, it would hurt if the baby pulls it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can buy it later when the baby grows up a little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her daughter’s insistence, Linpinger didn’t press the matter further, but her eyes were already set on silver bracelets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought about buying one for her daughter during the New Year celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having bought the earrings, Bai Ruozhu, arm in arm with her mom, left the shop and they started walking towards the Zhang family’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway there, Linpinger slapped her forehead in realization, “Look at my memory, I paid for the handkerchief the other day but forgot to pick it up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly, Bai Ruozhu was somewhat tired by this point, and if she continued along with her mother, her pace would only delay them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, pointing to a teahouse nearby, she said, “I’ll rest my feet over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting the handkerchief, mom, come find me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, that works best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll be back soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t go running around,” Linpinger advised hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help laughing, “Mom, I’m not a kid anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could I run around?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linpinger chuckled, reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurriedly, she turned around and headed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu entered the teahouse, found a quiet spot, and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ordered a very light jasmine tea and a plate of osmanthus cakes, slowly starting to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your dried fish taste quite good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold, masculine voice echoed behind her abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shocked, Bai Ruozhu spilt the tea on her hand, but by then, it was not scalding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a good thing because otherwise, her hand would have been scalded by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without turning around, she already knew who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she bump into this person by such a coincidence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man walked over, sitting down casually, and demanded, “Do you still have any of those dried fish left?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to buy some as gifts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What dried fish?” Bai Ruozhu acted as if she had no idea what he was talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun was still wearing his mask, but Bai Ruozhu could see a teasing smile in his eyes, visible from behind the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your friend mentioned that she was from the Back Mountain Village selling dried fish for a pregnant friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the only pregnant person that I know of from Back Mountain Village is you, it’s got to be you,” Jiang Yichun spoke slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Bai Ruozhu felt green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he mean by a pregnant woman being so restless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was compelled by life’s hardships to do business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was that being restless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this person hold a grudge against her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he not vent it out without biting remarks?\u003C\u002Fp>",1440,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.304Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","0bcccf333467741414c412ba33e5c679150c394f370150ab9913f221b4805bd2","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-83","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-81",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
