Chapter 170: Bai Family’s deserted fields

When Mrs. Liu was just married in the Bai Family, she worked in the fields for 2 years. But after she gave birth to Bai Dabao, she never works there again. And after Zhao Lan entered the Bai Family’s door, she never went there nor take a look. She naturally doesn’t know now anything about their family’s fields. So, when she heard the old lady’s words, she immediately agreed: “That’s right, the people in our village rely on the harvest in the fields, so how can they just abandoned their fields like this?”

Although Mrs. Zhang doesn’t do farm works, she delivered a meal to her husband before. Knowing that the three paddy fields belong to them while hearing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law’s same old tune. She couldn’t stand it. So, she went close to her husband and asked: “Erzhu, who is the owner of these three paddy fields?”

in shame, he sighed and said: “Who else could it be, it’s ours!”Bai Erzhu’s face reddened in shame, he sighed and said: “Who else could it be, it’s ours!”

Old Lady Bai continued walking, but when she heard those words, she stopped. She suddenly remembered the time when she broke Zhao Lan’s arm. Zhao Lan didn’t finish planting seeds in their field. At that time, she also asked her two sons to do the work. However, her two sons chose to go to the town to win a bag of flour. And then, many things happened, so she forgot about it.

Their fields now were deserted… …

Their family has a total of five paddy fields. In order for the family to supply their basic needs, and in order for Bai Xiaofeng to continue his studies. They must harvest on these five paddy fields in full, but… …

Now that their three paddy fields have been abandoned, how are they going to survive in winter? How are they going to pay Bai Xiaofeng’s tuition fee next spring?

Old Lady Bai felt her vision was spinning and she could she stars. She doesn’t know if this was because she was hungry or because she was shocked by this sudden blow.

In the past, when Zhao Lan was still in the Bai family. She never had to worry about these things in the fields. She only needs to wait for the harvest season to come. And while sitting at their door, she only watched Zhao Lan returned with their family’s food… …

Bai Zhi was always thinking of Meng Nan inside her heart, but she has a lot of work to do. She couldn’t delay the work in the field anymore. She had been looking for people to flow the fields in these past 2 days. And after that, they scattered the purple vine leaves all over the ground. At this point in time, all her potatoes now had sprouts. In order to improve the result of her harvest, she cut the sprouted potatoes into pieces, and then she hired several more people in the village to plant them. And soon, all the potatoes has been planted.

5 days had passed before Bai Zhi could finish all these works.

The next day morning. After Bai Zhi washed her face, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast. As soon as she finished cooking, Hu Feng smelled an appetizing scent.

Hu Feng looked at the sky outside and frowned: “This early? Are you going out?”

Bai Zhi filled a bowl with porridge and put it down on the table: “Yes, I will go to the town today. I want to see Meng Dage, I don’t know what happened to his injury.”

Hu Feng’s face became stiff: “I see, while you were busy these days, you’re also thinking about him, right?”

Bai Zhi immediately nodded her head: “Yes, I’ve been thinking about him these past few days. After all, he was injured because of me. A few days had passed, but he hasn’t visited us again. And I was so busy these days, so I haven’t go to see him. My heart always feel bad about this. ”

“Just because of this?” Hu Feng raised an eyebrow.

Bai Zhi turned her head and looked at Hu Feng: “Of course, what else could it be?”

The gloominess on Hu Feng’s face instantly dissipated, and his thin lips slightly curved upward: “I will go and wash, help me pour a bowl of porridge.”

Bai Zhi spits out her tongue while staring at Hu Feng’s departing back, then she shouted: “Help you pour a bowl of porridge, hmph! I’m not your wife.” However, despite saying those words, she still helped him to pour a bowl of porridge.

  1. Now these disgusting people understand the value of Zhao Lan. Plus they can’t do anymore planting now, right? Thats why Bai Zhi had to get the purple plant, if not they won’t make it in time before winter(?).
