Bai Ruozhu felt a sudden anxiety and the baby in her belly began to roll as if asking: where did the Jade Pendant her father left for him go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know if it was due to the baby’s impact or because of pre-birth anxiety, but her entire body was on edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could even hear her own heart beating faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t really care about the Jade Pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that mattered to her was that it seemed to be worth some silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why was she so upset about it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this very moment, the baby started causing even more trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu took a few deep breaths in order to calm herself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the Jade Pendant been stolen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was this all just a misunderstanding?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She struggled to get off the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered that she’d asked her mother to keep her marriage certificate safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, she’d given the Jade Pendant to her mother to keep as well and just didn’t remember doing so because her memory got worse in the late stage of pregnancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pondered with the hope that she just simply misremembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went directly to the main room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong and Lin Ping’er had already woken up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that his daughter looked odd, Bai Yihong quickly asked, “Ruozhu, what’s wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t sleep well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er was just bringing in the porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at her daughter, thinking that she hadn’t slept well due to her worries about childbirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, did I give you Chang Sheng’s Jade Pendant to keep safe?” Bai Ruozhu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you’ve always kept it with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you lose the Jade Pendant?” Lin Ping’er also began to feel anxious looking at her daughter’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Bai Ruozhu was almost certain that someone snuck into her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered feeling that her quilt was different before going to bed last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She should’ve been alert, but she was too heavy and slow due to her pregnancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I felt something off with my quilt when I returned to the room last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I always fold my comforter neatly, but I was too tired to think too much about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I woke up this morning, the Jade Pendant was gone,” Bai Ruozhu explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong and Lin Ping’er couldn’t sit still any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them went to Ruozhu’s room to search, and in the end, they confirmed that the Jade Pendant was indeed missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, who visited our house yesterday?” Bai Ruozhu asked in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her memory, Mountain Village was very safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were very few thefts, so it was usually safe even if the doors were left unlocked at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, why was her Jade Pendant stolen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong recalled, “Just those who helped us build the new house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re all people we know well; they surely wouldn’t have done it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu also thought it was unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew all of those uncles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t the type to steal things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were them, they would’ve done it a long time ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one else?” Bai Ruozhu asked unwillingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door of the yard rang out at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Bai Zehao, who had chopped pig grass early in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ruozhu could no longer carry out tasks, Lin Ping’er had to take care of her, and Bai Zepei was studying, so a large amount of their household tasks had fallen on Bai Zehao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of his work and the building of the house, he seemed to have lost some weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never complained and never said he was tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the serious faces of his parents and sister, Bai Zehao asked confusedly, “What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, did anyone other than the uncles who helped us build the house come over yesterday?” Bai Ruozhu asked before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zehao, not knowing what was going on, answered, “The fourth boy came over for lunch, why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but widen her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be Xiaosi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt an unbearable disappointment in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were really true, she would have to shield her child from even small things in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Bai Ruozhu was lost in thought, Lin Ping’er quickly explained to Bai Zehao about the misplaced quilt and the missing Jade Pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zehao expressed surprise, but he was very certain saying, “It definitely wasn’t the fourth boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left right after eating, and I saw him leave the yard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, Bai Ruozhu let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a huge relief, really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she still didn’t know who had stolen the Jade Pendant, if it wasn’t Xiaosi, she wouldn’t feel the sense of deceit and betrayal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then who could it be?” Lin Ping’er was also getting anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Jade Pendant can’t be lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly Bai Zehao slapped his head and exclaimed, “I remember now, the third boy came over yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could ask him what he was doing, he said he was here to call Xiaosi and then ran away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that I think of it, it was definitely the behaviour of a guilty thief!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third boy is Bai Yibo’s eldest son, Bai Zehong, who is fifteen years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t study as well as the first and second boys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because the Wang Family had two daughters before finally having this son, he was spoiled at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he always liked to play around and didn’t care much about his responsibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That really happened?” Lin Ping’er couldn’t sit still anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to the old mansion to ask them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I must get the Jade Pendant back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the third boy’s face, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t directly confirm that it was him who had done it, but she still had to go and ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, don’t be impulsive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go together and ask first,” Bai Ruozhu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong nodded, “I’ll go too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss, watch the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people coming to build the house will be here soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because their voices were too loud, Bai Zepei, who was in the inner room, heard the noise and rushed out, his face showing signs of fatigue, “I’ll accompany you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, not only the eldest in their family had lost weight, the second child had virtually stopped eating and sleeping, and he had visibly lost a lot of weight too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Bai Ruozhu seemed to have gained weight…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu didn’t want to disturb her second brother’s studying, so she said, “Second brother, you stay at home and study, or rest a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we really need something, we’ll ask for your help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei thought for a moment and didn’t insist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “If they don’t return the thing, just say we’ll report it to the government.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu, upon gaining this insight, realized that people of this time have a significant fear of the government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they stepped out the door, Bai Ruozhu walked quite anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er hurriedly supported her and quietly comforted, “Ruozhu, don’t get agitated; you should calm down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu took a few more deep breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was indeed quite angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t the people of the main room stop being disgusting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling us ‘family’, but stealing within!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t they realize the significance of the Jade Pendant to her and her child?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloody ‘family’!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, Mother, when we get there, don’t question the third boy immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This will prevent my uncle from claiming that we’re bullying the younger generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m a peer of his; I’ll ask,” Bai Ruozhu suggested after some thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong and Lin Ping’er were aware that their daughter was full of resources, so they both nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they reached the old mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they arrived early in the morning, the old mansion was just eating breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breakfast in the agricultural family is usually porridge or lumps of soup, which is genuinely not worth much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, as soon as the old lady saw the three, her face sagged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you here so early?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You didn’t even say anything in advance, I haven’t made more food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you pardon me for rambling a bit more, the subscription on the first day is very important to the author and it also determines whether the book can achieve better results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, Mouka kindly begs for subscription, and everyone has always been encouraging so here’s another request~\u003C\u002Fp>",1419,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.304Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","e3240de4a6b7c10d07652a1f18ed26db1d1b907bfce491cd762bc94ab7c85052","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-87","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-85",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
