They can’t recognize the word, but the blue character looked the same as the blue character on the bottom of the bowl that they used every time they eat.

Hu Changlin was even more accustomed to this blue character. The newly bought bowls and Zhao Lan’s newly handmade cloth bags had that blue character.

Hu Changlin pointed his finger on the bag: “This, isn’t this your niang’s bag?”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “It’s my niang’s bag, but not anymore. It was left in the Bai Family.”

When those words fell, what else is there to think about?

Wu Jiang shook his head and sighed: “This Bai Family is shameless. You two mother and daughter only have that field, but they still shameless steal your crops.”

Li Cheng opened his mouth and said: “It’s strange though, they stole these melons, so why did they left it behind?”

Wu Jiang suddenly remembered something, then said: “Last night, when I got up, I heard Bai Dazhu screaming. I didn’t listen carefully at that time. I thought they were only quarreling at home. Now, it seems it has something to do with these melons.”

Bai Zhi said: “There is no reason for people like them to give up something they already steal unless something happened that they need to give up halfway.”

Hu Changlin also opened his mouth: “They are brave enough. Who would dare to go to the fields at night ah? Snakes come out at night.”

Bai Zhi smiled, she no longer said anything, she looked at Wu Jiang and Li Cheng and said: “Did you had breakfast? If you haven’t, eat here first before you go back.”

The two immediately waved their hands: “No need, the breakfast has already been prepared at home, they are just waiting for us to go back home to eat. We will go first.”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Alright.”

While watching the two leave, Hu Changlin busily asked: “This is the Bai Family’s doing. What are you planning to do?”

Bai Zhi looked at the direction where the Bai Family lives. Her lips curved into a smile, then said: “I can’t find them with this account today. I need to go to Boss Chen’s restaurant. After all, it is the first day they will serve the new dish. I need to make sure that there are no mistakes.”

Bai Zhi took back her gaze and said to Hu Changlin: “Hu Bo, after I leave, no matter who comes to borrow money or the carriage, don’t pay attention to them.”

Hu Changlin immediately understood her meaning, he smiled and said: “Okay, I understand. You can rest assured, I’ll stay at home.”

After a while, the person sent by Boss Chen arrived.

“Is this Hu Changlin’s home?” The coachman asked while looking at the man standing at the door.

Hu Changlin nodded his head: “I am Hu Changlin, and you are?”

When the coachman saw that he came to the right place, he quickly jumped off the carriage and smiled at Hu Changlin: “I am the coachman that works in the restaurant. Our shopkeeper asked me to come here and pick up the melons, are they ready?”

Hu Changlin hurriedly opened the gate of the courtyard and let the coachman in: “Everything is ready. You are very early, they are still eating. I am going to call them.”

Not waiting for Hu Changlin to enter the house, Bai Zhi and Hu Feng came out: “I had breakfast.”

The coachman recognized Bai Zhi. When he returned to the restaurant yesterday from the market, he saw Bai Zhi cooking in the kitchen. That fragrance made him drool even in his dream at night.

“Miss Bai, I’m here to pick up the melons.” The coachman smile and greeted Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi busily led the coachman to the side of the wall and pointed her finger to the four bags of potatoes: “This bag has 25 pounds of melons. With four bags, the total pounds is 100.”
