Chapter 17 Try it? !
When approaching the gate, Baimei heard the "clinking" sound of bowls and chopsticks in the main room.

They are having breakfast.

Bursts of fragrance drilled in from the pores of Baimei.

I haven't eaten for several meals.

"Gudong".

The hungry Baimei's throat was wriggling and she kept swallowing.

"elder sister!"

With sharp eyes, Bai Yue was the first to see Bai Mei who appeared at the door.

She threw down the bowl and chopsticks, and quickly threw herself into Baimei's arms like an arrow flying from the string.

"bang"

Baimei staggered and almost fell.

"I thought there was a lot of ability, but I haven't come back yet."

Liu Shibi sat on top without raising her head, and kept stuffing her mouth with the leftover food from yesterday.

"Hey! You're back? Didn't you run? Run? Why are you coming back? Who wants you to come back? I wish you never came back, so it's better if you stay outside! Motivate yourself!"

Bai Zhong picked up a large piece of fish meat from the back, put it in his mouth, and grinned at Bai Mei while eating.

Very arrogant.

"Humph!"

Baimei didn't bother to look at him, so she fixed her eyes on the few pieces of fish left on the plate.

It was originally given by that respectable young big brother, and he was eaten by this family without even smelling the smell of fish.

Thinking of that elegant big brother, Baimei's heart inexplicably yearns for it. If, in the future, her boyfriend is like that, how wonderful it would be!
"This is my fish."

Bai Mei withdrew her distant thoughts, and said coldly to Bai Zhong.

"What? Your fish? Are you sick?"

Bai Zhongzheng was waving his tongue to stroke the fishbone. Hearing what Baimei said, he was taken aback for a moment, and then regained his composure.

"Obviously my dad took the money and asked your mom to buy it, okay? Are you ashamed to say it's yours? Shameless!"

The tone is still very proud, rushing.

"You?!! If you don't believe me, ask Bai Feng Bai Yue!"

Baimei made up her mind to let them know that they ate her food.

"um, yes!"

Bai Feng Baiyue looked at the people around the table and nodded at everyone.

"Okay, Baimei, stop talking, hurry up, come and eat."

Qin Yulan was overjoyed when she saw Baimei came back.

She got up quickly, filled a bowl full of rice, and pulled Baimei to sit beside her.

Bai Yue, who was sitting next to her, quickly made room for Bai Mei to sit down.

"Sister, come, eat quickly, this is delicious."

Bai Feng quickly picked up a chopstick of shredded pork and a piece of fish, and put them in the Baimei bowl.

Bai Yue also picked up some of the vegetables in her own bowl and put them into the Baimei bowl.

Baimei's bowls were suddenly piled up into small hills.

"A starved ghost reincarnated? Put so much in a bowl at once?"

Liu Shibi stared at the food in Baimei's bowl, and said viciously.

"Okay, okay, it's good that Baimei is back, come on, hurry up and eat."

Seeing Bai Mei come back safely, Bai Xinlan felt really happy in her heart.

She didn't want Bai Gui to break up with Qin Yulan right after they got married.

Yesterday, those people went back after lunch.

But Bai Xinlan stayed. She had to settle the matter between Bai Gui and Qin Yulan before she could feel at ease.

Baimei looked around at the other people on the table expressionlessly, paused, sat next to Qin Yulan, and picked up the rice bowl.

So fragrant!
Her stomach involuntarily growled twice.

"Hahaha! Are you hungry? You only know to come to our house to eat when you are hungry! Let me tell you, if you dare to be disobedient in the future, I will tell my dad that if I don't give you food, I will starve you! Hmph!"

With rice in his mouth, Bai Zhong and Bai Feng fought over the few good dishes left on the plate, while humming and cooing, cooing and threatening words to Bai Mei.

"Alright, let's eat!"

Bai Gui looked at Qin Yulan, then at Baimei, and tapped hard on the back of Bai Zhong's hand with the tip of his chopsticks.

"Beating up?! How much to eat, how much to clip!"

Bai Gui snorted fiercely at Bai Zhong.

Bai Zhong punched Bai Feng, unwillingly retracting the chopsticks that were fighting for "turf".

Bai Zhong seldom saw Bai Gui's good face, he was almost beaten by Bai Gui since childhood.

A slight expression of Bai Gui's face can make the overwhelmed Bai Zhong shrink back immediately.

"Bai Feng, eat well, and watch out for my slap!"

Qin Yulan deliberately raised her palm, and immediately issued a warning to Bai Feng, for fear of falling behind Bai Gui and causing Liu Shibi's dissatisfaction.

"Humph!"

Bai Feng pouted, and retracted the chopsticks that he was fighting with Bai Zhong.

"Come on, Baimei, eat quickly."

Qin Yulan looked at Bai Gui again, and seeing that he didn't have any special expression, she confidently pressed Baimei down and sat next to her.

She didn't add vegetables to Baimei, and also prevented Baifeng and Baiyue from adding vegetables to Baimei.

At last, the table became quiet.

Baimei lowered her head while eating, and glanced at Qin Yulan from time to time.

Qin Yulan's face was as flat as a river in a calm wind, without a single wave.

Bear with it for a few more years, and when I reach the age where I can go out to work, I will go out to work to earn money, and bring my mother and Bai Feng Baiyue back to the mountains.

After making up her mind, Baimei became more open-minded.

Goals and plans always give a person stability and strength.

Baimei was much quieter and more peaceful than the previous few days.

At a young age, I have learned some taste of bearing humiliation.

Many years later, looking back and thinking about her own mental journey at that time, Baimei couldn't help feeling a little bit sad.

I don't know whether to feel happy or sad that my ten-year-old self is so sensible and calm.

"If you dare to take them away, I'll throw those wild cubs into the pigsty to feed the pigs! If you don't believe me, try it!"

Just halfway through calling "Mom", Baimei stopped outside Bai Gui and Qin Yulan's room.

She originally wanted to come and tell Qin Yulan that she wanted to take advantage of the winter and summer vacations and weekends to follow Aunt Tang to the county town to sell fruits and sewing sundries.

Although it won't make much money, no matter how much it is, it is earned by yourself. If you save it slowly, you can always accumulate more.

If you have money, you can say anything.

During the day, when she came down from the mountain, she ran into Aunt Tang, and she had an idea, so she proposed to use the vacation to follow Aunt Tang to the county town to sell things.

Bai Feng of Aunt Tang's family, who is two years older than her, has already followed her mother to the county town to sell things. Every time she sells something, her mother will give a token pocket money of a few cents.

Those children rarely have a few cents on them throughout the year. In their eyes, Baifeng's money is simply a huge sum of money, which makes people envious for a while.

Aunt Tang couldn't help her flabbergasting, and after hesitating for a while, she agreed, but she wanted Qin Yulan to tell her in person.

If it is a child, it doesn't count. If something happens, who can take the responsibility?
"Don't worry, Second Aunt, my mother will definitely agree. I'll let her tell you tomorrow."

Baimei felt that Qin Yulan would definitely agree, so she said goodbye to Aunt Tang with a smile.

"what--"

Before Baimei could react, Qin Yulan's suppressed cry of pain came from inside again.

"Call?! I let you call?!"

Bai Gui's voice sounded again.

Then, Baimei heard the sound of something hitting the cabinet, and the bottles and cans on the cabinet made a slight collision sound.

"Okay, please, stop beating, and be careful that the children hear you."

Qin Yulan tried her best not to let her cry of pain come out.

"If you dare to say another word, I will break your leg!"

Bai Gui's vicious voice stimulated Baimei's heart.

"I, I won't run away, please, don't hit Baimei and the others."

Qin Yulan's humble voice sounded again, mixed with the non-stop "sizzling" sound due to pain.

"Don't worry about this."

After Bai Gui finished speaking, he snorted "hululu".

Baimei was so angry that she was going to go back to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

She gritted her teeth and stared angrily, just in time for Qin Yulan who came out to see her.

"Baimei, what are you doing here?"

Qin Yulan looked at Baimei in astonishment, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to fiddle with her face twice, trying to erase the previous traces as much as possible.

"Mom, did that lunatic hit you?"

Baimei looked at Qin Yulan with her young and mature eyes.

Qin Yulan hurriedly lowered her head.

"No, no."

"No?! I can hear you clearly! Oh, your calf hurt yesterday, did he also hit you?"

Baimei suddenly thought of Qin Yulan rubbing her calf non-stop when she woke up yesterday, and walking a little abnormally when going to the market.

"Oh, you kid, you're just guessing! It's nothing! Go back to sleep."

Qin Yulan didn't want Baimei to worry, so she dragged her to her room.

"Baimei, in the future, don't talk nonsense about things like this, you understand? He, he can do anything."

When they arrived at Baimei's room, Qin Yulan took Baimei's hand and said softly.

She was worried that Baimei would anger Baigui.

She really regretted that she only saw Bai Gui's honest appearance at the beginning, but did not see his abnormal heart.

Now, it's too late to regret.

What she has to do is to carry it until the children grow up. If luck is good, the children will have a great future, and she will be thankful to take her out of here.

"mom--"

Baimei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qin Yulan. After all, Baimei was still a child, so how capable she was.

"Okay, Baimei, be good, study hard, and when you become capable in the future, Mom won't have to suffer."

Qin Yulan choked up as she spoke.

"Okay, Mom, just wait, I will make you happy."

Baimei's grief and indignation just now were dispelled by Qin Yulan's choked sobs.

There is only a stubborn momentum left in my heart.
