Old Lady Bai looked at Mrs. Liu with a hateful look in the face, but then she only sighed and said: “You still don’t understand a thing? Before, Zhao Lan was there. If you don’t want to work, you can do nothing, because Zhao Lan will do it for you. But what about now? Zhao Lan is gone. Without that capable cow, all the work must be done by ourselves. Erzhu and Zhang Shumei are not Zhao Lan, so do you think you can fool them with this little trick of yours?”

Mrs. Liu opened her mouth and said: “Isn’t it just adding some work? Why do you need to emphasize it so much? My Xiaofeng will become a big official in the future, they will also benefit from it, right?”

Old Lady Bai also used to believe in this thing. She firmly believed that Bai Xiaofeng will become a big official. She believed that he was born to be a big official.

But after today’s event, she can’t be so sure.

“No need to mention it again. You go and tell Dabao that he must go to the fields tomorrow. No further discussion!”

“Zhi’er, Boss Chen came, he’s waiting for you in the front yard!” Hu Changlin, who hurriedly went to the cabin house, saw Bai Zhi just got up and washing her mouth.

“Boss Chen? Why did he come? Today is not the day to deliver melon!”

Hu Changlin shook his head: “I don’t know, he said he wants to see you.”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Alright, you go back first. I will just comb my hair and come over.”

Hu Changlin went back, and Bai Zhi quickly combed her scattered hair. Then said to Zhao Lan that she needs to go to the front yard immediately.

Boss Chen was standing in the yard and looking at the new house in the distance. He was very surprised about it.

“Who is the owner of that house?” Boss Chen asked the owner of the new house in the distance.

Hu Changlin was sitting in the yard and making straw shoes. When he heard Boss Chen’s question, he looked up at the distance and said with a smile: “That is Bai Zhi’s house. It’s made of bricks and tiles, that’s why it took a lot of time and money. But once it’s done, it will be better compared to any house in the town.”

Boss Chen said: “No need to say in the future, even now it’s far better. At least in Qingyuan town, it’s the most unique. There is no house better than this. The shape is so strange. It’s my first to see it.”

“Boss Chen, how come you’re here early this morning?” Bai Zhi pushed open the gate and said to Boss Chen.

Boss Chen turned his head and saw Bai Zhi with a refreshing smile on the face. He also asked with a smile: “How is your injury?”

Bai Zhi replied: “It’s already good. It all thanks to Boss Chen, if it weren’t you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to get away with that punishment.”

Boss Chen waved his hand: “Well, this little thing, you don’t need to thank me again and again. It’s only natural.” He said while taking out a letter and handed it to Bai Zhi: “This is Meng Gongzi’s letter for you that came last night.”

It turned out that Meng Nan sent her a letter. No wonder Boss Chen came early this morning.

She took the letter and looked at the handsome handwriting on the envelope. She then smiled and said: “It seems that he arrived in the capital safely and wanted to let us know.”

Boss Chen looked around the yard, when he saw there were no other people, he asked: “What about Hu Feng?”

Hu Changlin busily replied: “Oh, Feng wanted to harvest wheat before the rainy days come. He went to the field early this morning. Once the sun reaches its peak, he will come back home.”

Boss Chen was somewhat surprised. In his eyes, Hu Feng and Bai Zhi were special. They don’t look like someone from the mountain village. However, Hu Feng does farm work as early as this like ordinary villagers?

Boss Chen asked Hu Changlin: “Is Hu Feng your biological son?” Hu Feng was tall, handsome and extraordinary, while Hu Changlin was totally different.
