Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: How Could it be Him?

Bai Ruozhu looked at her big brother in confusion, asking, ”How is it that I’m now prophetic? I didn’t say anything when you left.” She felt oddly deified by her brother...

Bai Zehao chuckled twice, noticing that there were not many customers now, so he lowered his voice and said, ”When I got back to the village, I visited the Wan Family first, made my delivery, but the aunt insisted on keeping me to eat. When I returned to our yard, I saw Zeji and his parents had cleaned it up thoroughly. Uncle Tang is so diligent, he hung up several red lanterns for us, saying he was preparing my bridal chamber.”

Bai Zehao blushed as he spoke, and Lin Ping’er burst into laughter, saying, ”Zeji’s parents are naturally diligent and grateful people.”

Bai Ruozhu thought, of course they are hardworking, is her big brother saying that she predicted that Zeji’s family is good? Of course, she knew they were good in her memory, otherwise, it’s easy to invite a god but hard to send it away, would she casually suggest this?

”I’m not done yet.” Bai Zehao was quenching his thirst with some tea, he continued, ”Later, I delivered the goods to Mr. Wu, then I went to the old mansion, and my grandma started to tell me that since our yard was vacant, why not keep some chickens, and she could plant some vegetables in the backyard.”

Before Bai Zehao finished speaking, Lin Ping’er’s eyes widened in disbelief, ”Come on, she doesn’t even raise chickens in her own yard, and she never takes care of the vegetable plot, how could she have the time to mess around in our yard?”

Thinking of grandma’s laziness, Bai Ruozhu chuckled and said: ”If she really raises chickens in our yard, I’m afraid it will be too dirty for humans to enter.”

”That’s why I said my little sister is prophetic, I told grandma that I had already lent the yard to Zeji family, they had planted the vegetable plot and were going to raise chickens, so there is no room left, our family has promised Grandpa Clan Leader, we can’t drive them away, I told her to go talk to Grandpa Clan Leader herself if she really wanted to stay.” Bai Zehao explained.

Bai Ruozhu now understood what Bai Zehao meant and she smiled helplessly, ”I’m not as incredible as you think, it’s more like a blind cat ran into a dead mouse. Originally, I just wanted to help others out of kindness, but it seems I’ve helped us as well.”

”So what did grandma say after that?” Bai Yihong asked anxiously.

”Of course, she scolded me a lot, but anyway I said I couldn’t decide, and I couldn’t even drive them away, I suggested she find her own solution.” Bai Zehao shrugged, seeming unconcerned about Grandma Old Mansion’s scolding now, and used to it anyway.

”Later, I also talked to Zeji, if grandma goes to find them, just let them stall her a little bit, they don’t need to take it seriously.” Bai Zehao added.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, her big brother did the right thing. What if Zeji’s family felt embarrassed and thought that not moving out would cause trouble to Bai Yihong, and grandmother drove them away? Now that they’ve been informed, Zeji’s family would know what to do.

Moreover, grandma is only Bai Yihong’s elder, she has no control over Bai Lu’s family, she can only argue with the second family. What could she do to Zeji’s family?

Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu secretly glanced at her big brother’s family. People are like this, when they are in a good mood, everything seems pleasant. In the past, she would get angry about the unreasonable demands of the old mansion, but today she is overjoyed, clearly because other things have made him inexplicably happy.

Bai Ruozhu winked at her big brother, leaned forward and asked in a low voice, ”Big Brother, you definitely left something out, don’t hide it from me, otherwise I’ll drag mom and dad to interrogate you.”

Bai Zehao’s face turned even redder, he stammered, ”There... there’s nothing, sis, can you not be so nosy?”

Yeah, right, Bai Ruozhu mischievously smiles, ”You’re not going to say? Then I’ll go to Sister Caiyue tomorrow to have a good chat with her.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zehao immediately became anxious and said hastily, ”Sis, why are you always picking on your big brother?”

Bai Ruozhu chuckled twice, because her big brother is just so easy to pick on? Her second brother was simply too difficult to tease, and that’s no fun.

Bai Zehao blushed and took something from his chest. Upon seeing it, Bai Ruozhu realized it was a pair of finely stitched cloth shoes. They had cotton padding because of the cold weather, but thanks to the quilting embroidery technique, they didn’t seem too bulky.

”Wow, are they made by Sister Caiyue?” Bai Ruozhu instantly recognized that the shoes were made by Wan Caiyue. She got a taste of Wan Caiyue’s embroidery skills when she saw the purse she made last time; it was on an entirely different level than hers.

Bai Zehao nodded and quickly stuffed the shoes back into his chest, acting like the shoes would fly away if he held them out too long.

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh, her brother was too funny. But it’s great that her brother could marry the woman he loved. Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help wondering, what kind of woman would her second brother like in the future?

After the family was done packing up for the day and went home, Bai Zehao carried a basket on his back, going outside of the town to cut pig grass. The northern part of town was connected to the mountain, so it wasn’t too troublesome to get pig grass.

Seeing this, Bai Ruozhu pulled him back, saying, ”Big brother, you’ve been running around all day, take a rest at home, it’s fine for me to go, Dengdeng has already eaten and is sleeping, I can also take advantage of the post-rain to pick some mushrooms.”

When it came to identifying mushrooms, Bai Zehao was actually quite clueless. Once when cutting pig grass, he seemed to have brought back some mushrooms, but Bai Ruozhu looked at them and said they were poisonous. The pig grass that was touched also couldn’t be fed to the pigs.

So when it came to picking mushrooms, Bai Zehao didn’t argue with Bai Ruozhu anymore.

”Well, I’m, sorry to trouble you, little sister.” Bai Zehao said, feeling embarrassed.

”Today we closed up shop early anyway, and I didn’t have much to do.” Bai Ruozhu laughed, snatched the basket and walked out with long strides.

She didn’t know if it was because this body was naturally robust, or if she had improved physically by drinking water from the Spatial Pond, and eating fish from inside it, but she walked briskly all the way to the foot of the mountain without getting out of breath or even breaking a sweat.

She walked up the small road towards the mountain, not in a hurry to cut pig grass, but looking for mushrooms instead. You can cut pig grass every day, even if it’s not a lot, the pigs won’t starve to death, but the mushrooms that emerge after the rain are the most tender and delicious.

Bai Ruozhu licked her lips, thinking of making Braised Chicken with Mushroom tonight, adding lots of soup and making it deliciously aromatic.

As she was daydreaming, she seemed to hear people talking in the distance. She immediately felt a sense of unease and without giving it a second thought, jumped into her Spatial Pool. She had just been looking for mushrooms in the grass, so if anyone nearby saw her suddenly disappear, they’d just think she slipped off somewhere into the grass.

As she hid in her Space, she heard the clash of swords from outside, she couldn’t help but gasp, she was right to hide, otherwise she would likely have been caught in the crossfire by now.

As she was thinking about what was happening outside, the Space created what it looked like a liquid crystal screen that displayed everything outside.

Bai Ruozhu covered her mouth in shock. How... How could it be him?
