Chapter 79: Lessons
When Bai Xiaofeng smelled a flavoring scent, he tried stopping Bai Zhi. But, who would have thought, that she was very fast in running? She was gone in a blink of an eye.
When Bai Zhi went back to their wooden house, she poured the porridge and stir-fried wild vegetables to their own big bowls. And she hides them in the corner to save for dinner.
Zhao Lan saw her daughter smiling, so she couldn’t help but ask: “What’s wrong with you? Every time you came back to the big house, you have a bad face. but this time, you are smiling.”
Bai Zhi smiled and replied: “Niang, you will know soon. First Aunt will come over and complain in anger. Just wait for the good show.”
Sure enough, after a while, a loud shout of Mrs. Liu sounded: “Pork lard? Where is my pork lard?”
Then, Mrs. Liu’s quick footsteps came. In a short while, she arrived in the wooden house, where Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan lives. Without any warning, she kicked open the door.
Mrs. Liu put her one hand to her waist and shouted while pointing her finger to Bai Zhi: “You, you little slut, now you have the ability to steal my pork lard?”
Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders: “I didn’t steal it. I only used some while cooking the wild vegetables. First Aunt, you know that I have injuries, so while I’m pouring some of it, I accidentally poured everything into the pot. My hand loses control. I originally wanted to save some of it, but I thought First Aunt save it for my mother. So, I used it with gratitude. Look, this is the bowl, please take it with you and wash it.”
Zhao Lan finally understood, her daughter was like a ghost. No wonder she was smiling when she got back. Originally, she stole Mrs. Liu’s treasure. Mrs. Liu always hides the pork lard for her son, Bai Xiaofeng. Only her son could eat it, no one else could touch it. So this time, she will naturally get angry.
Mrs. Liu’s body trembled in anger, she pointed her finger to Bai Zhi’s nose and said: “You, you dead girl, you even dared to touch this old lady’s pork lard, don’t think that this old lady will not teach you a lesson today, today —“
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow, then her bright face changed into a cold one: “What about today? Does First Aunt want to fight with me?”
Looking at Bai Zhi’s cold face, Mrs. Liu’s felt a chill on her back and she couldn’t help but took a step backward. This step made her feet stumbled on the threshold of the wooden house. So, Mrs. Liu’s body fell uncontrollably. Her waist bumped into the stone on the ground.
Bai Dabao and Bai Xiaofeng, who was standing in the courtyard, saw their mother fall outside the wooden house. They immediately rushed forward to help their mother. Bai Dabao pointed his finger to Bai Zhi and said: “You dead girl, how dare you push away someone?”
Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders and said with an innocent face: “You shouldn’t wrongly accuse people. I am standing here, I didn’t move a bit. It was First Aunt who fell on her own. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”
But, how can a person like Mrs. Liu tell the truth? Seeing that both of her sons were present, she wanted to use her two son’s hands to teach Bai Zhi a lesson. So, she said: “I am obviously pushed by you, how dare you to deny it?”
Bai Zhi sneered: “If I lied I should be struck by lightning and died together with my sons, without a complete body. Do you dare to make a poisonous oath like that?”
If she only needs to swear that she’ll be struck by lightning if she lied, Mrs. Liu will naturally agree. But, Bai Zhi, that dead girl also wanted her to swear with her two sons. So naturally, she refuses. Her two sons were the ones she cherished the most. Regardless of whether this oath will come true or not, she couldn’t take her two sons to swear.
“You dead girl, how can your heart be so vicious? How can you speak such poisonous words? Aren’t you scared of retribution?” Mrs. Liu pointed her finger to Bai Zhi and said.
