Mrs. Liu often used to go out and show off that their family had two capable cattle and horse that doesn’t need to be feed to much. Although their family was not rich, Mrs. Liu was acting like a rich madam.

The women, who have been busy working inside and outside their house in the village, had heard her showing off. So in just a matter of time, this thing spread in the whole the Huangtou Village, so no one was not aware of it.

Mrs. Liu knew that what she did was wrong. She quickly laughed and patted Ba Zhi’s shoulder: “This little girl, how long has it been? Why still talk about it? We haven’t forgotten about it, we just forgot for a while. But now that you have a good life, don’t you want our Bai Family to give some credit? Imagine, without the Bai Family, how can you grow this big?”

Meaning, she wanted her to repay their kindness.

Bai Zhi sneered inside her heart. The intentions of these two evil women were too obvious. They just want to have these potatoes in the bag, right?

If they don’t want to get any benefits from their hands, why would people like them take the initiative to come and talk to her?

They want to have this? Hehe. I will not give it to dogs. I will never feed these white-eyed wolves.

“As you said, we don’t necessarily need to talk about the past. All these years, we, mother and daughter worked like cattle and horses for the Bai Family. All debts are set. In the future, you don’t need to pretend to be close to us. We are not relatives of the Bai Family anymore.”

This sentence blocked their road. How will they get those melons?

Old Lady Bai turned a blind eye and said: “That is only natural. We clearly have written it in the separation letter. In the future, our families no longer have any connections. The bridge has been cut off and we no longer need to cross with each other.”

“However, although we are no longer relatives, we are still village folks. If the people in the village are having difficulties, it’s only natural to help each other.”

Bai Zhi was smiling while staring at the old lady’s ugly face. She wanted to see what tricks she will play this time.

The old lady’s eyes then fell on the bag of potatoes: “I heard that you have a good harvest of melons today. Nowadays, melons are not easy to sell. We know a lot of people, so we come to help you sell them. It’s better to sell them with the help others than just you, mother and child.”

This kind of remarks to be said by the old lady. She’s afraid that no one in the vicinity will believe her words. Even she will not be convinced.

Bai Zhi waved her hand: “That’s not necessary. Our melons are not the same as the melons in the market, it will be sold out quickly.” After that, she turned around and faced the women, who were washing clothes by the river. Then, she shouted: “In a few days, all the uncles and aunts that will help us harvest our potatoes will be given with money.”

Listening to this, the people felt like they heard music in their ears. The wheat in their fields hasn’t matured yet. They were only idling at home. If they could earn money during their leisure time, how good must it be?

Someone dared to ask: “Zhi’er, what kind of melons are these? Why did they grow so fast? I remember, when we used to plant melons, it took us 2 to 3 months to harvest fruits. And it’s not as big as yours.”

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “I use a simple trick. Otherwise, it will be really impossible to harvest melons this early.”

Hearing this, the people stopped working and surrounded Bai Zhi: “What is this trick, can you teach us?” Everyone’s eyes were full of excitement.
