Bai Wenjing changed her cold expression. Before Bai Lotus could open her mouth, she exclaimed, “Ah, sister Lotus, you didn’t burn yourself, did you? Let me blow on you…”
After saying this, Bai Wenjing grabbed Bai Lotus’ hand and took the opportunity to pinch her wound. Bai Lotus cried out in pain again. When she pulled her hand back, the back of her hand had already been scalded.
“You… you did it on purpose!”
Bai Lotus looked at Bai Wenjing with tears in her eyes. The wound on her hand was indeed very painful. She did not expect Bai Wenjing to be so ruthless.
Seeing that Xue Chang An had rushed in, she immediately said, “Brother Chang An, my hand… my hand hurts so much…”
With her delicate and weak appearance, coupled with her red eyes and nose that cried like a rabbit, Bai Wenjing almost felt that she had hit her too hard.
Sure enough, Xue Chang An had already frowned and looked at Bai Wenjing.
Bai Wenjing raised her eyebrows and said, “I don’t know either…”
Speaking of Xue Chang An, in fact, Bai Wenjing also felt that it was ridiculous. After five years of not paying any attention to this family and not paying a single cent, not only had the original Bai Wenjing raised a few children, but he had also brought a little fairy with her when she came back, now he actually wanted to protect this little fairy?
She wanted to see what this man was going to do. If he was a muddle-headed person, it was fine if she did not want him.
The burn on her hand was burning with pain. Lotus endured the pain and looked pitifully at Xue Chang An. She knew that no man could bear to see a beautiful woman suffer.
Just now, she also saw Xue Chang An’s frown.
It seemed that Xue Chang An was indeed angry. At this moment, the back of her hand was burnt, revealing her red flesh. It was a terrible sight.
But she understood that she had to endure it. As long as she chased this woman away, she could turn the tables.
So she added fuel to the fire, “Sister, I know you don’t like me. If you don’t like me, you can just say so…”
“I don’t like you.”
Bai Wenjing did not want to wait for Lotus to stir up the emotions on her own, so she spoke directly.
Lotus did not expect Bai Wenjing to be so straightforward, so she was stunned, Bai Wenjing took the opportunity to continue. “I don’t like you. Look at how clumsy you are. I was careless and got the oil out and burned you. Baijun, Baijun! Hurry up and call the doctor over!”
Bai Wenjing then moved closer. Bai Lotus shuddered, afraid that Bai Wenjing’s hand, which had grabbed a handful of chili, would touch her wound.
“Look at you. I’m cooking, but you insisted on moving closer. It’s my fault. It’s all my fault.”
Bai Wenjing said with a pained expression.
Since Bai Lotus liked acting, she would just cooperate.
Bai Lotus shook her head and looked anxious. She did not expect things to develop to this extent and decided to change her tactic.
So she continued to sob, “Poor me. I have no parents and no one to rely on. I thought I could serve brother Chang An with my sister’s tea. It seems that I don’t even have the qualifications to serve tea. Then… then I might as well die…”
“Eh? What did you say? She doesn’t know how to serve tea and water, so she can learn it slowly. Actually, when I saw you, I also felt that we hit it off and treated you as my own sister. Don’t worry, I’ll go to the village in a few days and ask around. I’ll definitely find a good family for my sister.”
“I think that’s a good idea.”
How could Xue Chang An not understand what she just said? His wife was hinting at him!
One was cooking in the kitchen, while the other was cooking in the gutter. The distance between them was like heaven and earth. Lotus really had a lot of drama.
Bai Wenjing was also a little surprised. This Xue Chang An seemed to be a little different from what she thought.
“The doctor is here! The doctor is here!”
Xue Baijun began to shout from afar. Bai Wenjing pretended to be surprised and said, “Sister, the doctor is here. Hurry up and let the doctor take a look at you. Sigh, this morning, when I asked the doctor to treat my Bainian, I didn’t even have the money to treat him.”
When Bai Wenjing said this, she looked at Xue Chang An. Xue Chang An’s expression changed slightly as if he could not hold it in any longer.
However, Bai Wenjing did not know. She only felt that her words had hinted at this point, so why did this man not express himself?
When Bai Lotus saw that this scene could not continue, she hated Bai Wenjing to death, but she could not do anything. She could only grimace in pain and walk out.
When Bai Lotus left the room, Xue Chang An and Wenjing started a fire and continued to fry the fish. It was frighteningly quiet.
“I haven’t come back to see you for the past five years. I’ve made you suffer.”
When Xue Chang An said this, Bai Wenjing said coldly, “It wasn’t that bad.”
What was bitter was the original Bai Wenjing. She did not know how she had spent the past five years. At this moment, she actually felt some sympathy for the original Bai Wenjing. However, she really did not feel anything for this man.
“… I just have to wait for the future to be better and find a reason to leave. Anyway, I have a son and daughter, so I don’t have to suffer because I have children in the future.”
Bai Wenjing thought about it and felt very happy.
Xue Chang An was originally nervous, but when he saw a smile on Bai Wenjing’s face, he immediately felt relieved, then, he spoke the words that were pressing on his chest. “These few years, I have mistreated you. In fact, in the beginning, I wanted to earn money and come back to see you, but I wanted to earn more. In the end, I lost money and could not earn it back.
“My wife…”
“So, you didn’t bring any money back this time?”
Bai Wenjing was concerned about this. She thought that Xue Chang An had left for five years and might have brought some money back. She even prepared a bellyful of lines, once this man said that he wanted to take the wife and son to the town or somewhere to live a good life, she refused. But she did not expect things to develop like this.
Xue Chang An hurriedly touched his wallet and took out 20 taels of silver on the stove.
Ha, this man was really interesting. It would be a waste not to take it, Bai Wenjing put the 20 taels of silver into her pocket, glanced at Xue Chang An, and asked, “You didn’t earn any money. I see that although the robe you’re wearing is ordinary, the material is very good. The kind that ordinary people can’t afford to wear… tsk tsk, it’s still a joke.”
As Bai Wenjing spoke, she had already touched the sore spot. At this moment, she was even more certain that this man had definitely earned money.
Xue Chang An’s heart sank because of these words.
How did this woman’s taste suddenly become so good? Previously, she was just a vulgar woman with a vision like a green bean class, but now, she actually recognized this satin.
After not seeing her for a few years, what exactly happened to her that made her look like a different person?
Xue Chang An took a closer look and felt that other than her skin becoming smooth and shiny, Bai Wenjing’s appearance had only become a little friendlier. Other than that, she had not changed much. Had she really changed her character?
Or was this just a trick of hers?
Xue Chang An said embarrassedly, “These clothes have been worn out for quite some time. At that time, I had also exchanged them with someone else. How could I not wear clothes when I go out to do business? This fish is doing well. How did you come up with this idea to make it?”
“Nonsense.”
Bai Wenjing said coldly.
A man’s mouth, a liar’s ghost. This dog man was actually playing tricks with her at this time!
Bai Wenjing was sure that this dog man must have hidden some private money. Otherwise, he would not have gone out to beg for food for such a long time? Even if it was begging for food, one dollar a day was already a large sum of money. Did he really think that she was easy to fool!?
After finishing the meal, Bai Wenjing and her husband started to clean up the fish piled in the basket. If they did not clean it up, the fish would eventually spoil.
As for Xue Bainian, she did not dare to be careless this time. She kept a close eye on him, afraid that something would happen again.
Because there were too many fish at home, Bai Wenjing cooked fish soup for dinner.
After dinner, Bai Lotus watched as Bai Wenjing cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen. She was extremely resentful. She was defeated by this woman in her first move.
Seeing that there was no one around, Bai Lotus slowly walked into the kitchen. She stared at the back of Bai Wenjing’s head and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so capable.. If you’re capable, wash the dishes and come to the river to find me.”
