Chapter 21
Bai Feng said that day that Bai Yuan would take him to shine shoes, but Qin Yulan forgot about it after beating him hastily.

Bai Mei didn't take it too seriously, thinking that Bai Feng was just talking casually and wouldn't have the guts to do so. Besides, Bai Yuan was notoriously rambunctious, and he would never cut him off with just Bai Feng. Heaven's pigweed will help him.

However, one morning, before the birds got up to catch insects, Bai Feng got up on tiptoe and sneaked out.

Wearing a pair of broken shoes, he followed Bai Yuan and walked for 5 kilometers before boarding the first train to the county seat.

"Sister, look, brother got up, he didn't lie to me."

Bai Mei was startled from the bed by Bai Yue's joyful voice.

"what?"

Baimei looked suspiciously at Baifeng's bed, and sure enough, there was no one in the messy bed.

"Get up so early, what is he going to do?"

Baimei had a very bad feeling.

"Haha, my brother said last night that he would get up early today and buy me bubble gum. I thought he was lying to me. It turned out that he didn't lie to me. Okay, I will have bubble gum later."

Bai Yue clapped her hands and jumped up and down.

"What? Buy bubble gum? Wake up so early, where can he buy it?"

Baimei stared at Bai Yueyuan's Gugu's eyes, her gaze was a bit serious.

"It seems to be in the city."

Seeing Baimei's reaction, Bai Yue was a little scared, and her voice suddenly became very quiet.

Could it be that my sister doesn't like my brother going to the city?
Oh no, this brat must have gone to the city to shine shoes.

Baimei frowned, she couldn't even scream in her heart, how old is he, what should I do if something happens to me.

"Baifeng, Baifeng, come on, get up quickly, and help me take the hoe back to the opposite slope."

Outside the house, Qin Yulan's voice sounded.

"Baimei, hurry up, get up and cook."

Qin Yulan then arranged for Baimei to cook.

It's like this almost every morning.

"I cook every time. Before we came, didn't anyone in their house cook? That white guy with hands and feet wandered around all day. Now, they let us do all the work in their house, They are at their leisure"

Baimei has always had a grudge against Bai Gui's family.

"Baimei, we are all a family, who does it differently?"

Qin Yulan saw Liu Shibi approaching with her face pulled, and hurriedly stopped Baimei from complaining softly.

Baimei understood Qin Yulan's eyes, and she silently cooperated.

After Qin Yulan's anxious persuasion that time, Baimei restrained a lot, and she seldom had direct conflicts with them.

I endure, I endure, I endure! ! !

Whenever she feels that she is about to explode, she will imagine the happy scene of getting rid of this family with her mother and younger siblings, so as to encourage herself to hold back and not to cause extra problems.

snort!Let you be arrogant, wait until the day I am capable, and see how I deal with you!

Baimei never thinks that she is a kind person. On the contrary, she thinks that she is a bad person. It's just that she doesn't have that ability and is not bad enough.

These days, good people don't live long, and bad people live very neatly.

Her father, Bai Wu, is an out-and-out good man. He doesn't beat or curse, and he is polite to everyone. He jumped into the river to save people twice. When the beggar came, without saying a word, he turned around and went back to the house to get a liter of rice and pour it out. into the cloth sack propped up by the beggar.
Her mother, Qin Yulan, is also an out-and-out good person. If anyone’s family is in trouble, they will help out without hesitation. Who in the neighborhood doesn’t praise and who doesn’t like it?

But what happened to the good people nowadays?
Her father, who was alone, got a terminal illness and was in so much pain that he would die if he said nothing. Her mother was tricked into remarrying Bai Gui, a man with a human face and heart.
And those bad guys, like Bai Yuan's mother Huo Xiulian, Bai Gui's mother Liu Shibi, and her Bai Yulan, and those people who used to steal eggplants and pumpkins from their house, all of them are alive and well. very!
The more Baimei thought about it, the angrier she became.

Therefore, instead of being a good person, she has to be a bad person!
"Baimei, don't do this. Good people get rewarded with good rewards, and evil people get rewarded with evil. Maybe it won't happen to me, but it might also happen to his descendants. In short, people, don't have evil thoughts, do you understand? That's right, We are very poor and miserable, but we are poor and have a lot of ambition. To be a human being, we must walk upright and sit upright, you know? Didn’t your father often tell you this before? You must never forget it.”

After learning that Baimei had these signs, Qin Yulan quickly corrected them.

One wrong step, one wrong step, Baimei is a good seedling, Bai Wu has always placed high hopes on her, always saying that she will have great promise in the future, but he can't wait for that day.

Qin Yulan suppressed the tears in her eyes, and told Baimei repeatedly.

"How did your father teach you all the time? You must not be sorry to your father, do you understand?"

"understood."

Baimei's usual simple, honest and upright appearance appeared in Baimei's mind, and she nodded guiltily.

"Baimei, Baifeng, what's the matter with you today, come out quickly."

Seeing that Baimei and Baifeng hadn't moved for a long time, Qin Yulan stopped holding the bag, and came to Baimei's room in three steps at a time.

"Hey, where's Bai Feng? He went to squat in the latrine again? This kid is always like this. Whenever he is called to do something, he likes to run to the toilet. Baimei, hurry up and go cook."

As soon as Qin Yulan stepped over the threshold, she just glanced at the room before shaking her head, turning around and hurriedly making arrangements.

"okay."

Baimei agreed with her mouth, but her body was still frozen there.

Thoughts were flying in his mind, thinking whether he should tell the truth or not, he helped Bai Feng lie to cover it up.

"Baimei, what's wrong?"

Qin Yulan noticed something from the inadvertent panic on Baimei's face, and immediately turned around vigilantly, staring at Baimei.

"Nothing. I'm going to cook now."

Baimei dragged Baiyue to the kitchen.

Seeing Baimei's action, Qin Yulan also continued to pick up the baskets. This morning, she will go to the field to dig the sweet potatoes and bring them back. In the afternoon, she has to go back to the old house.

Those uncles and brothers of Bai Wu's family who couldn't do anything at all came to discuss with her about the house. What they meant was that since she had remarried with her children, their house and land should be given up and returned to them.

When Bai Wu was sick, why didn't he see them come out, and hid away one by one, for fear of asking them to borrow a penny.Now it's time to come around.

Qin Yulan snorted coldly in her heart and was about to carry the basket to the field.

"Sister, why didn't you tell Mom that brother went to the city to buy me bubble gum?"

Bai Yue's immature voice drifted into Qin Yulan's ears clearly.

what?
Qin Yulan fell off the basket with a "slap", walked over, looked at Baimei sullenly, but turned her voice towards Bai Yue.

"Bai Yue, what did you just say? Where did brother go? "

"Bai Yue, don't talk nonsense"

Baimei hurriedly covered Bai Yue's mouth.

In order to confirm Bai Yue's words, Qin Yulan hurried to the hut, but there was no sign of Bai Feng inside.

"Mom, brother got up very early today, he said, go to the city and buy me bubble gum."

Bai Yue stretched out her small hand, opened Baimei's hand, and chattered.She desperately wanted everyone to know the great news that her brother was going to buy her bubble gum.

"What? Go to the city? He's really getting bolder! Come back and see how I deal with him."

Qin Yulan had no other choice at this time, and she couldn't drop the work she was doing to find him, so she simply left him alone and settled with him when he came back.
