Chapter 598: Looks exactly as the lady
Bai Zhi was overjoyed inside her heart, this was a life-saving grace.
“Niang, let’s go too. Let’s fill our stomach first before we discuss what to do next.”
When their family went to the porridge shed, a strong smell of rice porridge entered their noses. Because of this scent, they even became hungrier.
Many people were waiting to drink porridge, but they were lining up. Their family was in the back row, so they can hear what the people were saying in the front.
“Today’s porridge was given by the same lady as yesterday?” Asked by one of the beggars.
Another beggar replied: “Yes, she has been giving porridge for several days in a row now. Seeing her body, not in a good health, maybe she’s giving porridge to have good fortune?”
“Not really, I can see that this lady is a good person. Maybe she just wants to do good things.”
Zhao Lan was in front of the line, so she could see the lady who was giving porridge. The lady was wearing a plain brocade coat, with a thick plated skirt at the bottom. Her hand that was holding the long spoon was thin and pale.
However, when she looked at the lady’s face, she was stunned on the spot. This face resembled her daughter’s face by seven points. Especially, those eyes and nose, they looked exactly as Bai Zhi. Her lips were a little different though. However, if the two stand side by side, she can guarantee that people will think that they were mother and daughter.
Mother and daughter?
Thinking of Bai Zhi’s identity, Zhao Lan hurried back to Bai Zhi and asked: “Zhi’er, you look at that lady.”
When Bai Zhi saw the lady’s face, she felt that it was very similar to her. Especially those eyes, a strange feeling growing inside her heart.
She doesn’t know what was going on. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? How could the mother and daughter who have been separated for many years suddenly appear on the same street?
Bai Zhi shook her head towards Zhao Lan, indicating that she shouldn’t say anything.
After a while, the lady seemed to be tired. She sat back to rest. A girl who looked like a maidservant came to help. The girl was faster than the lady. The distributions suddenly became faster. Bai Zhi quickly got her porridge. The maidservant was also kindhearted, seeing that there was a child among them, she gave them an extra bowl.
Just like the beggars, they squatted on the corner to drink porridge.
While drinking porridge, Hu Changlin said, “That lady looks exactly like you.”
Zhou Xiaofeng also said: “I also feel the same, not only in appearance but also in temperament.”
Bai Zhi smiled: “Come on, there are many people who look the same in this world. Don’t go spouting nonsense in front of other people. Don’t bring trouble to yourself.”
After eating the porridge, Bai Zhi returned the bowl. As soon as she put down the bowl, she heard a ‘bang’ sound. It seems someone fell on the ground.
Then, a woman’s scream came next: “Milady, milady, what happened to you? Someone please, hurry up and get a doctor!” Bai Zhi recognized the voice, it was the voice of the maidservant that gave her porridge.
She squeezed herself from the crowd. It turned out that the sick lady fainted. The maidservant held the madam in her arms with full of anxiety.
Bai Zhi stepped forward and said to the maidservant: “Sister, I am a doctor, I can check her condition.”
The maidservant looked at Bai Zhi full of doubt: “Are you a doctor?”
Bai Zhi dryly smiled and said: “I am indeed a doctor. It’s just, something happened at home a few days ago, so this is how I look right now. Sister, you can rest assured, I will only check her pulse, and do nothing else. There will no loss to your lady.” If not because they were kind-hearted people, she didn’t want to meddle in.
