Abandoned Wife Heads the House: Farming with Adorable Baby

Chapter 170 The heart is not made of flesh
Bai Ruozhu looked surprised, "What? What difficulties does your family have? Do you want to sell Guizhi?"

Faced with such a greedy person as Guizhi Niang, she must not expose her flaws easily, otherwise she will take advantage of Guizhi endlessly.

Guizhi Niang was a little embarrassed by Bai Ruozhu's gaze. She coughed a few times and said, "Isn't there nothing I can do? Brother Guizhi wants to get a wife, and the bride's family wants a betrothal gift. My family is already too poor to open the pot, so I can't even make up for it. Not much."

"Then, you can't sell Guizhi. If you sell her, she will have nothing to do with your family for the rest of her life." Bai Ruozhu was so anxious that she almost cried.

Guizhi's mother became anxious when she heard this. She took Bai Ruozhu's hand and whispered, "Don't tell anyone. Guizhi's father is terminally ill and has to pay for medical treatment. She just wants to arrange a marriage for her." The bride price given by the other party is also good, but..."

Guizhi Niang deliberately lengthened her voice, as if to make Bai Ruozhu worry more, "But I went to inquire about it later, and I found out that the man was a man whose wife had died. He was already in his thirties, and my Guizhi is as beautiful as a flower." Your age is ruined, isn’t it?”

Guizhi Niang wiped the corners of her eyes as she spoke, as if she really felt sorry for her daughter.

"How, how could this happen?" Bai Ruozhu looked at a loss, "No, you can't give Guizhi to random people." After saying that, she said in a tangled voice: "But it's better than selling her to be a maid."

Guizhi's mother was afraid that Bai Ruozhu would not agree, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Guizhi's father has already collected the money, but... I also heard that the wife in front of him was beaten to death by him."

"Ah..." Bai Ruozhu covered her mouth and shouted in a low voice, her eyes filled with fear, "No, Guizhi will die."

Guizhi Niang started crying again, "So I thought that even if she sells herself to a good family, it would be better than losing her life. So Ruozhu, aunt, please help Guizhi."

Bai Ruozhu started crying and said while wiping her tears: "Auntie, is this the only way?"

Guizhi Niang took her hand and nodded vigorously, saying, "I really have no choice. I can't even afford to refund the money."

Bai Ruozhu hesitated, then nodded with difficulty and said, "Auntie, I promise you."

After Guizhi Niang left with all her thanks, Bai Ruozhu gasped for air, she was about to explode with anger.

Guizhi Niang is simply worse than a pig or a dog. She clearly knew that Yang Laosan beat his wife to death, and yet she promised Guizhi to others for money.Guizhi's father was terminally ill for the sake of making up the story just now. Why didn't she say that she was about to die?
Lin Ping'er entered the room and hurriedly persuaded Bai Ruozhu, "Daughter, it's not worth getting angry with this kind of person. Mom secretly overheard her just now. Her heart is not born of flesh, and she will be punished sooner or later."

Bai Ruozhu's breathing calmed down. She couldn't be angry with such a person and affect her milk supply. Wouldn't that be pitiful for her family?Thinking of this, she said to Lin Ping'er: "Mom, I'm not angry anymore. It's best for Guizhi to cut off the relationship with her family, otherwise she will really be pushed into the fire pit."

"Yes, Guizhi is a blessed child, and he will definitely have hardships and joys." Lin Ping'er comforted her.

In a blink of an eye, the next day came, Bai Ruozhu took Dengdeng to the town with her second brother. The second brother would often visit Mr. Xie's mansion for a while, so Bai Ruozhu just happened to go with him to see Mrs. Xie today.

She didn't know how long she would stay in the town, so Bai Ruozhu brought Deng Deng with her. Anyway, the child was considered well-behaved, and Yu Hongxiu also liked the child very much.

When they arrived at Xie's Mansion, Yu Hongxiu listened to her mother-in-law's announcement and hurried out to welcome him.Only then did Bai Ruozhu realize that there were two maids following her. Taking a closer look at the temporary residence of the Xie family, it was also very nice. It could be seen that the living conditions of the couple were much better than she had originally imagined.The last time the two of them went to the Bai family for dinner, they didn't bring anyone with them. It was probably because Mr.

"Ruozhu, I've waited until you arrived. Hurry up and sit with me in the house." Yu Hongxiu went over and took Bai Ruozhu's arm, and reached out to tease Deng Deng.

Yu Hongxiu pulled Bai Ruozhu into the house. When the maid brought tea and snacks, she asked the maids to go down so that Bai Ruozhu would not feel uncomfortable.Bai Ruozhu was happy to talk. She took out the paper, handed it to Yu Hongxiu and said, "This is the recipe I prepared for you. You can eat this for three days. It is mainly tonic. After three days, I will give it to you and Mr. Xie will take his pulse and then decide how to take supplements."

In fact, the main purpose was to check Mr. Xie's pulse, but Bai Ruozhu couldn't be so straightforward. Yu Hongxiu was also a smart person, so she understood immediately and said with a smile: "Okay, I will do as you say." She opened the recipe and looked at it. When she got up, she was even more convinced of Bai Ruozhu, because the recipe was so detailed, and she would never have thought of it being so detailed.

Hongxiu carefully put away the cookbook and took a silver collar to put on Dengdeng.

"The last meeting was in a hurry, so I didn't prepare any gifts. This one is for the children." Yu Hongxiu said with a smile, her eyes full of love for the children.

"This, why is this so embarrassing? We don't need to be so polite, right?" Bai Ruozhu glanced at the silver collar and felt a little embarrassed to accept it.

Yu Hongxiu gave her an angry look, "You two are welcome, but this is what I gave to my child. It represents a blessing. There is something special about it. If I give birth to a child in the future, you will also have to give me a child."

Bai Ruozhu didn't refuse after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will give your child a longevity lock later."

Yu Hongxiu smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. It seemed that she could see that she would be pregnant soon.

Bai Ruozhu took two sips of tea and directly explained her purpose of coming. After hearing Guizhi Niang's actions, Yu Hongxiu became even more indignant.

"Tell her I'll go see someone tomorrow and buy it if it's suitable."

Bai Ruozhu remembered Mrs. Wang's entrustment and mentioned it again. Yu Hongxiu smiled like a fox and said, "Okay, just take a look together to whet her appetite."

Bai Ruozhu knew that Yu Hongxiu knew the importance, so he let her go.

At noon, Yu Hongxiu insisted on leaving Bai Ruozhu for lunch, and Mr. Xie happened to have the same intention, so Yu Hongxiu had Bai Ruozhu cook according to Bai Ruozhu's recipe. The four of them sat together and had a comfortable meal.

Bai Ruozhu wanted to say goodbye in the afternoon. Yu Hongxiu knew that she still had something to do, so she didn't try to persuade her to stay. Instead, she arranged for her own carriage to take Bai Ruozhu back to Houshan Village, while Bai Zepei stayed to continue discussing the article with Mr. Xie.

Bai Ruozhu's return to the village attracted a lot of people's attention, because she came back in a carriage, which made many people envious.Mrs. Wang almost chased her to Bai Ruozhu's house, followed by a girl covered in patches, who must be the distant relative she mentioned.
