Chapter 21 A great victory
Aunt Bai couldn't hold back any longer. Pointing at Old Man Bai, she said to the team leader, "What are you saying? He's my husband's biological father. My family is so poor we can't even afford to eat. How can you call it robbery if we come to my father's house to take some things? If that's the case, then what about my father and stepmother-in-law coming to my house to take things?"

Sure enough, it's good to be eloquent; look how beautifully you put those words.

“That’s right. When they came to our house to take things, you didn’t say it was robbery, Captain. How come it’s robbery just because we came to take some things? Captain, you’re not taking their side, are you?” Aunt Bai didn’t fall behind and asked directly.

The captain was truly enraged; when did the third branch of the Bai family become so assertive?

The team leader was furious. "Hmph, I'm not getting involved in this anymore, Uncle Bai. No offense, but this is your family matter. You should resolve it yourselves. If you really can't handle it, go find the village chief or the brigade leader. I'm just a lowly fourth group leader; I can't interfere in this."

The captain realized that this family was fighting amongst themselves, and as an outsider, he was caught in the middle and no one was in a good position.

He didn't care for Old Man Bai's things; his family had just as many as the Bai family.

After saying that, the captain turned and left.

Old Bai's eyes hardened. He knew that since this matter was classified as a family affair, no one except his own family could interfere.

"Take what you need and leave. Don't come back again." The eldest son should wait for him to come back and pack up his own things. He can return whatever he took.

Bai Jing saw the look on her grandfather's face, a look that seemed to want to kill her, but she wasn't afraid.

"Okay, let's go." We had a good haul today; let them save it up and come back next time.

That's right, Bai Jing not only took the yellow slip, but also all the more than eight hundred yuan that Granny Bai had hidden.

After this incident, half of her anger subsided.

If this continues, it will really ruin their reputation.

After all the onlookers had left, the old man went inside.

Seeing his wife lying on the ground without making a sound, he was startled. "Old woman, what's wrong with you?" He still cared a lot about his wife, who was his companion in his old age.

A fierce glint flashed in Granny Bai's eyes as she glared at Old Man Bai. "I don't care what methods you use, if you won't help me get revenge, then I'll do it my own way."

Upon hearing her words, the old man trembled.

He immediately stepped forward to help the person up and gently comforted them, "Don't worry, when the boss comes back next month, I'll have him teach those bitches a lesson. Don't get yourself sick from getting angry."

Old Lady Bai didn't appreciate his kindness at all. "What a useless piece of trash! Hurry up and tidy up the house." Looking at the mess inside, Old Lady Bai couldn't suppress the murderous intent in her eyes.

Bai Zizhong slowly moved back, "Father, Mother, are you both alright?" He only dared to enter the house after all the onlookers had left. With Bai Jing, that wicked star, around, he didn't dare to show his face at all.

Seeing her own son, Granny Bai rolled her eyes. "If I had been waiting for you to save my life, I would have been dead long ago. Just like your father, you're a good-for-nothing."

The father and son didn't dare to utter a single word in response to the insults.

This shows how much influence Granny Bai had in this family.

"Alright, stop standing there and go help your father." She looked down on her eldest son.

Even if they are her own children, she still dislikes them.

The father and son didn't dare say a word and obediently went inside to tidy up.

After a long while, the old man came out with a gloomy face. "They took all the money in the house." He was holding an empty tin box in his hand.

Old woman Bai glanced at it, but didn't care at all, as if that little bit of money meant nothing to her.

"Hmph, let them take it, as long as they're alive to spend it." Granny Bai was already plotting how to get back at them.

Fearing she might act impulsively, Old Man Bai immediately lowered his voice and said, "Don't do anything rash, we're being watched closely outside."

After saying this, he turned back to look at his son in the room. "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the two children. In a few years, they will both be getting married." The couple was hiding a big secret, a secret they couldn't tell anyone.

Even her own son wouldn't do it.

the other side.

Bai Jing walked home with a chicken in each hand, chatting and laughing with her second and third aunts along the way.

Those who had been watching the spectacle had to go back to work in the fields. Since everyone was going the same way, a few of the bolder ones came up behind Bai Jing and the others.

"Jing, aren't you afraid your stepmother will get your father to punish you?" Many people shared the same thought as Old Man Bai.

Bai Jing turned around and glanced at the person who had spoken; it was the village's notorious gossip.

"Aunt Zhang, what are you saying? That's my own father. How could he kill me?" Bai Jing didn't care about her father at all. To deal with her father, she only needed to let her mother go.

As long as her mother insists, her father can't do anything about it. After all, he owes his family too much, and he can't stand up for himself in front of his mother and children.

Let them make a scene, they have no money anyway, and they've already eaten the chicken.

“Your father is the most filial son, he’s famous in our village. If he knew you’d rob your grandfather’s family, he’d give you a piece of his mind,” Aunt Zhang said, looking like she was concerned for Bai Jing.

"Hehe, let him be filial. As long as he fulfills his responsibilities as a father, it's none of our family's business who he's filial to."

She knew her father loved them, but his love only became apparent after her grandfather passed away.

And now, he is still that filial son.

The dutiful son is not her father.

Aunt Bai smiled and continued Bai Jing's words, "Eldest brother is the most sensible. Sister-in-law and her family are almost starving. What's wrong with asking our father's family for some meat? It's not right."

That's a bit shameless, but compared to Old Man Bai and his wife, they're much more reserved.

We asked questions and got answers along the way until we reached the bottom of the mountain.

Bai Jing didn't bother with these gossipy women and went up the mountain with her second and third aunts.

When Bai Jing got into the courtyard, she discovered that her mother was actually at home.

"Mother, why are you back?"

Luo Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter return safely. "The team leader told me to come back." The team leader told her to take care of things at home before going back to work.

Isn't this a threat to her family from the captain?

If you don't work, you won't get work points; if you don't get work points, you won't get grain at the end of the year. What will your family eat and drink then?
Luo Chunhua was a little panicked, but she wouldn't hold her daughter back. Since the team leader had spoken, she came back.

Although Bai Jing was puzzled, she didn't want to ask too much. "It's good that you're back to rest. It's fine if you don't have to work on the autumn harvest." She agreed that her mother could rest. "Mom, look what we brought back."

She waved the chicken in her hand, "I'll stew it all tonight, to nourish everyone. It's been a long time since we've had any food from your grandfather's house."

On the way back, the three of them discussed and decided to kill all four chickens to prevent them from being stolen back in the middle of the night.

It's only truly safe once it's inside your stomach.

Luo Chunhua looked at her two sisters-in-law and asked, "Do you think so too?" As for the chickens, they could never be eaten by her family, and she never raised them again.

Don't forget to vote, my dear readers!
