Chapter 622 Visiting Relatives Is Like Fleeing

Bai Yunxi raised her hand and pinched the center of her eyebrows, then turned to look at the hourglass next to her. It was already the end of the hour.

Sure enough, at her age, she was not suitable for staying up late.

Just after washing up, my daughter had already brought the food in, "Mom, the yellow rice has been simmering on the stove, accompanied by shredded bacon, it's delicious."

Bai Yunxi looked at the millet porridge on the tray. Next to it was a plate of bacon shreds, a bowl of minced meat stewed with tofu, and a white flour steamed bun.

"Don't tell me, I'm really hungry."

After breakfast, Bai Yunxi saw her daughter getting her hair done on the porch, "Are you doing Yaya's hair again?"

"This is for my second sister-in-law. She lost her hair flower yesterday. I feel really bad. I happen to have some rags left. I will make two more flowers for her." Bai Anjing pulled the strips of cloth in the basket to find suitable flowers. Cloth color.

Bai Yunxi looked at her serious look and rubbed her chin.

"You like making flowers so much, and you are so skillful. I will buy you some gauze and velvet later. That kind of fabric will make the head flowers look good."

"If it's done, you can also take it to the shop and sell it on consignment to increase your personal income."

After listening to her mother's suggestion, Bai Anjing smiled and shook her head.

"I just make a little bit of it in my spare time. With my craftsmanship, only my second sister-in-law and Yaya like it. If I sell it, there's probably no hope."

"I think it's pretty good, but the ones sold in the shop are just like that. It's just more refined. If you get all the materials together and draw a few new patterns, it will definitely be as good as theirs."

Bai Yunxi didn't wait for her daughter to refuse before making the decision for her.

"Next time I go to town, I will prepare all the materials and try to make a few first."

This girl has such a quiet temperament that she is really suitable for handicrafts and embroidery work. If cultivated as a talent, it can be regarded as a skill that is close to one's own.

"Where is your second sister-in-law? I heard you were here just now. Are you out?"

"Follow the second brother to the fields." Although there is not much work in the fields, the second brother is used to it and goes for a walk from time to time.

After entering winter, the weather became colder day by day, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Baiyunxi asked everyone to light a charcoal pot to keep warm, and looked at the door from time to time, thinking that it was almost time for the Du family and her daughter to return.

After what happened to the second child and his wife, she had completely lost her goodwill towards the Du family. So much so that I didn't bring Du and Yaya back immediately because I wanted them to fully experience the Du family's meanness and never think about it again.

Two more days passed like this, and Baiyunxi felt a little anxious. When it was dusk, he saw the second son and his wife coming back from the fields, so he called them over.

"Your sister-in-law has been back for a while. Tomorrow you go to Du's house to bring her back, especially Yaya. She has fallen behind too much in her homework. It won't work."

"Okay, mother, I'll set off tomorrow at nine o'clock, and I'll be back before dark." Bai Anyan agreed, but without thinking much, he nodded and agreed.

"Mom, I'll go with you too, so that the Du family won't embarrass Brother Yan." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately suggested.

Seeing Li's fighting spirit, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but chuckle,

"You are so aggressive, people think you are looking for trouble. Just bring the person back, we don't meet often anyway."

"No, mother, I'm going with Brother Yan, and there's someone we talked to on the way. My sister-in-law's natal home is too far away, so a trip to her home is almost like a trip to the county."

Li Shi chuckled, of course, if Mrs. Du said anything unpleasant again this time, she would definitely say it back in person.

Anyway, I can’t hold back anymore.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and it turns dark in the time it takes to speak.

"Mom, dinner is ready." Bai Jingjing stuck his head out of the kitchen and shouted.

"Okay, let's set the food."

Bai Yunxi agreed and was about to turn around and go back to the house when the door was pushed open and Xiao Si appeared at the door with a dark face carrying Yaya on his back, followed by the disgraced Du Shi.

When Yaya saw her grandma, her eyes turned red, she slipped off Xiaosi, stretched out her arms and rushed towards Baiyunxi,

"Grandma, Yaya misses you so much, wuwu..."

Then Yaya rushed towards her, Bai Yunxi hugged her, rubbed her head, and patted her back. Seeing that the clothes on the girl were still the same as when she left, his eyes turned cold.

"Good boy, don't cry. Tell grandma if you have any grievances. Grandma will make the decision for you."

The eldest granddaughter she had worked so hard to raise left in vain and came back in disgrace. She had been waiting for twelve days, and she got angry just looking at her.

"Grandma, they bully people. They snatch Yaya's clothes, jacket and hairpiece. My aunt's newly made hairpiece was torn, wuwu..."

Only then did Bai Yunxi realize that the two flowers pinned to her eldest granddaughter's bun were gone, and she only had two simple ones.

Seeing her daughter crying in her mother-in-law's arms, Mrs. Du's face turned red with shame, and she held a shriveled bundle in her hands, twisting it, feeling guilty and ashamed.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Grandma is so obedient. If your hair is gone, let your aunt do it for you. Let's give it to no one except Yaya. We will give you two more beautiful flowers than before."

The six-year-old girl already loves beauty.

Every time I wear a flower, I can circle around the yard several times. It would be strange not to be sad if someone suddenly snatched it away.

Bai Yunxi hugged and comforted her for a long time before she stabilized the little girl's mood. She glanced at the nervous Du Shi, then turned to Xiaosi,

"How did you meet?"

"I came back from town and was about to turn into the village from the official road when I heard Yaya crying. I thought I heard it wrong, so I walked a few steps forward and saw my sister-in-law and Yaya."

Xiaosi said, glanced at his sister-in-law, pursed his lips and stopped talking.

"Grandma, my mother and I left my grandma's house before dawn. We met a kind-hearted grandpa halfway and took a ride in his ox cart. We finally got home with great difficulty."

Yaya hugged Bai Yunxi's neck and spoke angrily,

"Yaya's legs are sore, and my mother can hardly walk with me on her back. Finally, I met my fourth uncle."

After listening to this, several people looked at Mrs. Du in surprise. The two of them looked like they were fleeing to a relative. They were not much better than Mrs. Li that night.

"...it's cold outside, let's go inside first."

Bai Yunxi looked at Mrs. Du and felt a little disappointed. After three years of teaching, she lost her mind when she saw her mother's family. It's okay to wrong yourself, but to wrong your children is also unforgivable.

"Xiao Jing, steam a bowl of egg custard for Yaya first."

Look at this little face, it has only been a few days, and it already looks wilted and the skin is all chapped.

Bai Jingjing watched her niece lying on her grandma's shoulder, walked over and hugged her, "Yaya, be good, go to the kitchen with your aunt to warm yourself by the fire, and your aunt will boil hot water for you and wash her with fragrance."

Yaya blinked her big eyes, her eyelashes were smeared together with tears, and she looked pitifully tight.

Seeing her eldest granddaughter being taken away, Bai Yunxi turned to look at the mud stained on Du's clothes. When the family was the poorest, she had never seen her dressed in such a dirty and embarrassing manner.
