After the caught fish were divided into a basket for his mother-in-law, Lee Guilan, Bai Wenjing and her family of five headed home.
Originally, Bai Wenjing had planned to sell all the fish in town, but seeing the pitiful appearance of Xue Bainian, who had fallen into the water, she gave up the idea.
Since they were not for sale, and the weather was a little hot at this time, Bai Wenjing thought that she might as well marinate all the fish and eat them slowly.
As she was walking home, she heard a disgusting voice behind her.
“Brother Chang An, brother Chang An has so many fish, and you still need to take care of a few small ones. Why don’t I go to your house and help you clean up?”
It would be best if someone helped clean up the fish, especially if the fish were fishy and smelly.
Bai Wenjing agreed without thinking. “Sure.”
Unexpectedly, after she said that, Xue Baijun, Xue Xiaohua, and Xue Chang An all looked at her with their eyes.
Xue Xiaohua thought to herself, “Mother, don’t you know that this woman is here to steal Daddy?”
Xue Baijun thought, “Mother, this is a bad woman!”
Xue Chang An was confused as well and thought to himself, “Aren’t you afraid that another woman will snatch away your husband?”
Bai Wenjing glanced at the expressions on the three people’s faces one by one and felt that she was somewhat innocent. So why did these people look at her as if she was… a fool?
She was not an idiot, okay? So it was a waste not to use the free nanny. Moreover, she was a person with modern thinking. So how could she lose to Bai Lotus?
Therefore, Bai Wenjing directly ignored the gazes of these people.
On the way, she had analyzed it. When Xue Bainian saw Bai Lotus, his first reaction was to point at Bai Lotus and cry. Although Xue Xiaohua liked to lie, she looked earnest just now.
Therefore, Xue Xiaohua did not lie this time, and Bai Lotus had really done something to her precious egg.
She definitely had to take revenge for this.
After returning home, Bai Wenjing directly instructed Bai Lotus to sit in the courtyard and start cleaning up the fish one by one.
Xue Chang An dragged out the firewood in the pigsty and cut it into small pieces. With Xue Chang An outside, Bai Wenjing knew that Bai Lotus would not be careless in doing things, so she focused on taking care of Xue Bainian in the room.
Xue Bainian’s cheeks were flushed red as he fell asleep. He clenched his fists tightly. Even when he was asleep, he would twitch from time to time, accompanied by the sound of crying. It seemed that he was terrified.
Bai Wenjing sighed with heartache. She reached out and touched her heart, and it was hanging again.
Xue Bainian actually had a fever!
His red face looked like that of a drunk person. The wound on his forehead had become inflamed because of the water. It seemed that this little guy had fallen into the water and was frightened, causing the wound to become infected.
“Baijun, Xue Baijun! Come in for a moment!”
Xue Baijun, staring at Lotus fiercely in the courtyard, heard his mother’s scream and said impatiently, “What are you going to do now!”
After saying that, he angrily kicked the scattered firewood on the ground and opened the door with a bang.
Bai Wenjing got angry when she saw the noisy Xue Baijun. However, only Xue Baijun could be counted on at the moment, so she said, “Hurry up and call the doctor. Your brother has a fever. If you delay, I’m afraid he’ll lose his life! Go quickly!”
Xue Baijun was stunned. He knew that he could not be careless in this matter. He glared at his good-for-nothing mother with hatred and ran out.
“Mother! What’s wrong with brother?”
Xue Xiaohua heard the voice and rushed into the house. When she saw Xue Bainian’s little face flushed red, she said angrily, “It’s all that bad woman’s fault. But, mother, why didn’t you chase that bad woman away!”
Bai Wenjing glared at the chattering Xue Xiaohua. She felt sorry for Xue Bainian, but the most important thing now was to take good care of him.
At this moment, the familiar notification sounded again.
[Warning! Warning! Due to the mischievous brat, the target of the mission is constantly courting death. In the next few days, the target will be killed once for the mission. The host will be killed immediately!]
? Killed???
Was the system mistaken? Did it have to be so cruel?
She was only… Uh, alright. During this one day, Xue Bainian had been injured, fallen into the water, and his fever was still high. If she, as a mother, did not look carefully, she did not know what kind of danger this devilish brat would face.
However, the three-day time limit had suddenly changed. Was the system not a little too unreasonable?
[System: The three-day deadline had been agreed upon to complete the mischievous brat’s suicide mission. It’s only the second day, and you’re already asking the mischievous brat to commit suicide three times in one day. Do you have any shame?]
Bai Wenjing took a deep breath and told herself to calm down.
By the end of the mission the next day, as long as she did not let Xue Bainian get hurt again, she would have completed the mission and would not be killed by the system.
It seemed that she had to tie this brat to her side.
Of course, she would not let go of the instigator. If it was not for Bai Lotus, why would Xue Bainian be in so much danger?
The doctor came over to take Xue Bainian’s pulse and prescribed medicine. Seeing that Xue Bainian’s fever was gradually subsiding, Bai Wenjing finally heaved a sigh of relief.
After feeding Xue Bainian water and medicine, Bai Wenjing looked at the fish that Lotus had cleaned up and instructed Xue Chang An to take good care of Xue Bainian. Only then did she bring a basin of smaller fish to the kitchen.
As for Lotus, she called her to the kitchen to start a fire.
While Lotus was busy with the fire, Bai Wenjing bought the mall’s oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. She also bought marinade, starch, and cooking wine. Only then did she mix the washed fish in the basin and marinate them together with the ingredients. She was preparing to cook the crispy fish for lunch.
After the oil was heated up, Bai Wenjing picked up her chopsticks and began to fry the fish. The oil in the pot sizzled, and soon the fragrance spread in all directions.
Lotus was burning the firewood by the hole in the pot. When she smelled the fragrance of the fish in the pot, it was slightly sour. Why did this woman have such good cooking skills?
So she said, “Sister Wenjing is really amazing. One look and you can tell that she is a good cook. Unlike me, I never know how to do these things. My mother said that my hands are young lady’s hands.”
As Lotus said this, she raised her hands high and looked at her slender fingers proudly. Then, however, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Bai Wenjing’s even more beautiful fingers.
She had finally seen what a soft hand was.
Especially when Bai Wenjing completely ignored her after she said this, Bai Lotus became even angrier. She simply stood up and walked in front of Bai Wenjing and said, “Did you hear what I said?
“Let me tell you. Brother Chang An is not a person from this backwater. Sooner or later, he will leave here. Only a woman like me will follow him and flourish his feng shui. As for you, Heh, you will only embarrass him.”
“Right?” Bai Wenjing said lightly, “But no matter how I look at it, you are the embarrassing one. It must be tiring to follow a married man all the way here, right?”
“You!”
Bai Lotus was so angry that she glanced at the figure outside the window. She immediately grabbed a bowl of hot water that Bai Wenjing placed on the stove and splashed it on her face. Then, she sneered at her.
Bai Wenjing felt that it was ridiculous. This woman stooped too low. So she actually used this trick?
Coincidentally, the fish was frying in the pot. Bai Wenjing poured a spoonful of oil on the back of Lotus’ hand. She shrieked, but she said in a deep voice, “Since you want to act, you should make it look more realistic.”
The kitchen door was pushed open at this time. Xue Chang An asked, “What happened?”
