Chapter 229: Old lady Bai is really rich
Thinking of what she had done before to the mother and daughter, Old Lady Bai hesitated. If Bai Zhi was not here, her words might work to Zhao Lan.
Bai Zhi, this little girl had a stone heart, any kind of persuasion will not work on her.
However, her stomach was grumbling in hunger. She was tired of eating wild vegetables. But, she was very reluctant to use her remaining money… …
Old Lady Bai looked around her surroundings. When she saw many people were washing clothes in the riverside. She felt like, perhaps the mother and daughter will give her a face. In the end, she was Bai Zhi’s grandmother. She raised her for 12 years. Can’t she even give her a few melons?
After making up her mind, Old Lady Bai dragged Mrs. Liu to Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan’s side. She looked at the bag full of melons and said: “Oh, what are you washing?”
The mother and daughter turned their heads and glanced at the old lady. They frowned their eyebrows at the same time. This Bai Family was really like a hungry ghost.
Zhao Lan bowed her head and continued washing the melons. Bai Zhi held her head up high and smiled, then said: “Old Lady Bai is really rich. You can’t even recognize melons. It seems all the food you usually eat are only good fish and meat. You don’t even bother to eat humble foods of commoners.”
Mrs. Liu dryly smiled and replied: “Zhi’er, it’s really interesting to talk with you. What’s with the high or low grades of food? Aren’t foods all the same once they entered your belly?”
Bai Zhi shook his head: “I used to think so, but when I heard what you said to the old lady last time. I have a new understanding of the level of foods.”
Mrs. Liu asked: “What did I say to the old lady?” When she asked, she immediately regretted it. This dead girl, she will never say anything good. She shouldn’t have given her a chance to speak.
But now, it’s too late!
Bai Zhi put down the potatoes and washed her dirty hands, then got up. She raised her head slightly and stared at Mrs. Liu: “You and the old lady said that the porridge and vegetables at home are only foods of people. And the leftovers are only foods for live stocks. In your eyes, my niang and I are only live stocks. Despite doing most of the heaviest job at home, our foods are much worse than pigs and dogs. In fact, in your eyes, we are not even comparable to pigs or dogs, right?”
Mrs. Liu and Old Lady Bai’s face drastically changed. They never thought that Bai Zhi will mention these things at this moment.
They only returned to their senses when everyone’s eyes fell on their body. And that’s also when they realized that Bai Zhi used this opportunity to gain the sympathy of others.
Old Lady Bai was so angry. She just asked what they were washing and nothing else. The melons haven’t reached her hands, so why she became the villain?
No, she can’t eat this defeat.
Old Lady Bai tried her best to squeeze a smile on her face, which looked even uglier than her crying face.
“Zhi’er, you must have misunderstood. Your Aunt and I never said those words. Even if we said those words by chance, we are not talking about you. You must have heard it wrong.”
Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders: “Maybe I must have heard wrong. But, it’s true that my niang and I always eat leftover foods in the Bai Family. Sometimes, when my niang came back late, we can’t even eat any leftover foods. Those were our usual situation. Can you deny that?”
How can Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu deny it? Who in the village doesn’t know about this?
