Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 360. The House
This time, Granny Pang refused to let go no matter what. The young lady was so adorable, yet the master and mistress always monopolized her.

They were supposed to be the ones serving the young lady, but who knew that the master and mistress would do everything themselves, making them, the servants, seem useless.

Now that she finally gets to hold the young lady in her arms, she insists on holding her for a while, otherwise she won't get anything when the master comes back.

Bai Suihe knew she couldn't argue with Granny Pang, so she could only wink apologetically at her baby, "Baby, Mommy will take you out to play. As for who will hold you? Don't be picky."

Having no human rights whatsoever, Gu Xingyang opened her little mouth and helplessly accepted this fact, "Mother, then have the nanny hold me upright, I want to see the scenery here."

If Bai Suihe remembers correctly, the baby's vision was not yet fully developed at this time, so he probably couldn't see very far.
However, thinking that the baby was different from others, she still went over to help lift the blanket a little, "Grandma, could you hold the baby at an angle so she can see our home?"

Granny Pang smiled and nodded. As long as they didn't compete with her for the young lady's affections, she was satisfied with that.

Tilting the camera slightly, I saw the young lady's eyes wide open, looking around. My heart softened even more. "As expected, Madam and young lady are of one mind. She knows what the young lady likes."

Bai Suihe smiled and quickly turned around. It wasn't just that mother and daughter were of one mind; they were practically telepathically connected.

There was also some relief that Granny Pang hadn't been by her side from the beginning, otherwise she would have noticed something was wrong with her much earlier.

After exiting the gate and walking along a paved stone road, a distance of only about a hundred meters, you will see two brand-new courtyards standing there.

"This path wasn't here when I walked here the day before yesterday. It seems you've put a lot of thought into it." Walking on the clean stone path, there was a layer of fine sand carefully laid on the side.

“From now on, when we move here, we won’t be afraid of bringing mud into our home,” Dongmei said without mentioning that she and Chunxiang, along with her husband, had spent two days working on this road, digging out the sand and stones from a nearby river.

Of course, they also asked some people for help, but they did the road paving themselves.

Bai Suihe couldn't help but think of the acupressure mats of later generations, which had a similar effect. She could walk along this path more often when she had free time, as it was very good for her health.

She was suddenly surprised by her own thought. She was so young, how could she have such a terrible idea?

Could it be that staying at home for so long has given her the illusion of being retired?

Bai Suihe looked at the surrounding mountains and the wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys in the distance. He had to admit, it really did have that authentic feel to it.

It seems she needs to start scheduling trips to the mountains to identify medicinal herbs; she can't continue like this.

Just then, we arrived at the house. Although the roof had been repaired, people were still coming and going inside, as everyone was busy repairing the interior.

"Madam, you've arrived," Zhuang Datou hurriedly greeted Huang Pingguo. Since arriving here, they had been following the master's side. The master had already told them that they would definitely not be staying here permanently in the future, but this area would be entrusted to the two of them to manage.

They are already very grateful for the life they have now, and they never expected that the master would promise them a bright future. The two of them are even more loyal, so they work overtime to handle their own affairs so that they can devote themselves wholeheartedly to serving the Lord's family.

"You guys are pretty quick. Are you fixing up the kitchen?"

“Yes,” Zhuang Datou scratched his head, “because we need to make an offering to the Kitchen God, so we might as well do it all at once.”

Bai Suihe then remembered that Zhuang Datou and the others were originally from Lingnan, and they respected some of their customs. "Your customs should naturally be observed. We'll have the household invite the Kitchen God later."

"By the way, you've all been so busy since you came here. Didn't you say you were going home to visit your family?"

Zhuang Datou said, "Let's talk about it after we're done with this busy period. Our memories of our hometown are actually a bit blurry now, and we don't know if we'll be able to find it."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Datou and Huang Pingguo didn't really care that much. They left home when they were young, and it had been so many years. If they went back, they would probably find it difficult to integrate into the family. If they could find them, they would treat them as relatives. If they couldn't find them, they wouldn't regret it. After all, they had returned to their hometown, which could be considered as fulfilling a large part of their wishes.

They already have wives, and soon they will have their own children. A person's energy is limited, so they will just let things take their course.

Bai Suihe said, "If you need anything, just let your master know. We'll help if we can."

Zhuang Datou and the others thanked him again. Bai Suihe didn't want to delay their work, so he turned around and headed back.

Unexpectedly, on the way back, I saw Xu Yulan, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

She looked much older; I could even see some gray hairs in her hair.

"Third sister-in-law," Xu Yulan didn't want to talk to Bai Suihe when she saw her again, but considering her current situation, she stopped and greeted her first.

Bai Suihe: "Second sister-in-law, where are you going?"

"Let's go to the mountainside and see if there are any wild vegetables. We're almost out of food at home, so let's see if we can supplement our diet a little."

Bai Suihe looked at the basket in her hand, then looked back at the mountain, "At this time, the wild vegetables are just starting to sprout, and it's not safe for you to go into the mountains at this time."

Although Gu Kaiyuan had already surveyed several nearby mountains, once the weather warmed up, those hibernating spicy snacks would come out.

"There's nothing we can do about it, we have nothing left at home." Xu Yulan opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, picked up her basket and left.

"Madam, why didn't she say anything just now?" Chunxiang found it a bit strange. In the past, the second young mistress loved to find fault, but now that she was having such a hard time, she didn't say a word.

“She knows I won’t help them, so there’s no point in saying anything or not.”

Bai Suihe could easily see Xu Yulan's current predicament. Although she didn't pay special attention to the Gu family, she always managed to hear the news and might even know more than Xu Yulan, who was directly involved.

Gu Kaichen is really a scoundrel. I don't know when he learned to gamble, but he lost all the money left by Gu Baijiang and even secretly took the family's belongings to sell.

Xu Yulan knew all of this, but what she didn't know was that Gu Kaichen was also having an affair with a widow from the next village, though he was keeping it from Xu Yulan.

“That second young mistress has really learned to be clever,” Chunxiang glanced back, her eyes full of sympathy. Before, in the mansion, protected by the old lady, this second young mistress had the best life. No one in the mansion dared to offend her, and even the old lady’s own son had to give way to her.

I never imagined that the old lady would be in such a bad situation so soon after she left. I'm afraid this kind of life will continue for a long time to come.
