Silver? Someone still gave her silver these days…
Wait a minute, did this mean that Xue Chang An had given their mothers some silver?
Bai Wenjing looked Xue Chang An up and down and said, “I haven’t received it. Why?”
It seemed like she had not received it. If she had received it, would her life still be like this? But then again, she did not receive much of the original character’s memories, so she really could not remember if she had received it.
“Nothing.”
Xue Chang An’s eyes darkened. So all the things he had asked someone to bring back over the years had been stolen. No wonder this woman was having such a hard time.
Bai Wenjing looked at Xue Chang An and felt that this man suddenly emitted a terrifying aura that made people not dare to approach him.
This made her shrink her neck involuntarily. She had a premonition that something big was going to happen, so she said, “Is there something wrong?”
Even Bai Wenjing was thinking, could it be that the original character had received it before? But if she had received it, it would not be to the extent that the message she received was that Xue Chang An had left for nearly five years without any news.
Moreover, if she had really sent money, Lee Guilan would not have thought that her precious son had died outside.
Looking at Bai Wenjing, Xue Chang An was hesitating whether he should tell the truth.
However, on second thought, Bai Wenjing was quick-tempered and fierce. If she knew that Bai Wenjing had secretly taken the money that he had brought back for several years, would she not take the kitchen knife and go find someone to kill?
Thinking of the scene that he could not bear to look at, Xue Chang An frowned again and said, “It’s okay. Go and see Bainian. See why he is still crying.”
This man clearly did not want to tell her.
Forget it. If he did not want to tell her, then he did not want to tell her. She did not want to know. Anyway, in the past five years, the original character had not seen a single thread of money.
As for now, that had nothing to do with her. She wanted to live the rest of her life on her own. As for this man, he could stay wherever he wanted.
Therefore, Bai Wenjing responded faintly and then walked out of the house without looking back.
Bai Wenjing walked briskly, which made Xue Chang An sigh in relief. After all, he was most afraid that Bai Wenjing would break the casserole and get to the bottom of it…
Xue Bainian was indeed still crying. When Lee Guilan saw her coming out, she immediately threw Xue Bainian into her arms. “I’m going to see what those wretched girls are doing hiding in the pigsty. Watch over my precious grandson.”
After saying that, Lee Guilan put Xue Bainian into her arms and left.
Bai Wenjing knew that her in-laws valued sons over daughters. Her mother-in-law nagged at her, and her father-in-law was a bad-tempered person. However, he was not very involved all year round, so he would squat at the door with his hookah and smoke for an entire afternoon.
Therefore, Bai Wenjing did not take it to heart. She was just curious about what the original character had done previously.
Xue Bainian stopped crying as soon as he was in her arms. At this moment, he reached out to hug her neck and said, “Mother, candy, I want candy.”
It seemed that this child was addicted to eating candy. Even if she had candy, she could not give it to Xue Bainian. Once she gave it to Xue Bainian, he would develop a bad habit, thinking that as long as he cried, he would have candy to eat.
Therefore, Bai Wenjing directly rejected him. “No.”
Xue Bonian began to curl his lips. “Then let’s go home. We have sweets at home.”
“We don’t have sweets at home either.”
Once Bai Wenjing said that Xue Bainian once again opened his mouth and cried out loudly. His loud voice made her head hurt. She even regretted taking out sweets to coax the child. Why was he so difficult to deal with?
“Shut up.”
Bai Wenjing shouted in a low voice. She did not want this little fellow to howl anymore. Who knew that Xue Bainian would actually cry while shouting, “If you don’t give me sweets to eat, I will cry!”
Bai Wenjing rolled her eyes. Did she offend her ancestors?
Then she said, “I don’t like being threatened. If I want to eat candy, it’s always based on performance. Crying is useless. You want to know how to get candy, right? Watch carefully.
“Xue Baijun, come here.”
Xue Baijun was still waving the short wooden sword in the courtyard. When he heard this, he immediately ran over and asked, “Mom, what’s the matter?”
Bai Wenjing was still very satisfied with Xue Baijun’s performance. She then said to Xue Xiaohua, “Xiaohua, come over as well.”
When Xue Xiaohua heard this, she also rushed over. Bai Wenjing was especially satisfied with the two’s current performance, so she took out two pieces of rock candy and placed them in their mouths.
When Xue Xiaohua tasted it, her eyes were immediately filled with happiness. She said softly in surprise, “It’s candy!”
Bai Wenjing nodded in satisfaction and asked Xue Bainian, “Do you know what to do now?”
Xue Bainian was stunned for a moment. He shook his butt and ran to the middle of the courtyard, looking at her with anticipation.
Bai Wenjing was a little speechless. It seemed that Xue Bainian still did not understand this way of teaching. Fortunately, this guy did not cry anymore, so she waved at Xue Bainian. Xue Bainian immediately rushed over excitedly.
Xue Bainian only revealed a smile when she stuffed a rock candy into his mouth.
Looking at Xue Bainian who was enjoying himself again, Bai Wenjing thought for a moment and said, “Baijun, mother has been a little unclear about many things recently. Do you remember why your father left?”
Xue Baijun shook his head. Xue Xiaohua blurted out, “I know, I know. My grandmother said that she left because of you.”
…
She had already guessed this.
“Then… Baijun, do you know what I did to drive your father away?”
Xue Baijun shook his head and fell into deep thought, in the end, he said slowly, “I only know that you were good at gambling at that time. Because of this matter, you even fought with my grandmother. Yes, that’s right. You used our father’s money to gamble and lost. You even sold our family’s old sow. Father scolded you, and you even beat father up.”
The more Xue Baijun said, the more frightened he became. If he did not think about it, he would have almost forgotten that his mother used to be so fierce.
But then again, his mother used to be fierce, but that was also because of them. As for now…
…
Bai Wenjing was speechless again. Was the original character in the past so fierce? Beating her mother-in-law and hitting her own man, Tsk tsk tsk.
Xue Xiaohua’s eyes lit up with interest as she listened. She only felt that her mother was really handsome, so she said, “There’s more, there’s more? big brother, tell me more!”
After saying this, Xue Xiaohua also seemed to have remembered something as she said, “I remember, there was once when widow Zhang stole a green onion from our vegetable garden. You went over and scolded widow Zhang until she didn’t dare to go out for three days. You even flooded her crops with water. Widow Zhang cried in front of the door for several days, but she didn’t dare to come and look for you.
“Mother, you should be so fierce now. Beat anyone who disobeys!”
“What if you don’t obey?”
Hearing this, Xue Xiaohua stuck out her tongue and did not dare to say anything else.
The original character was much more fierce than she had imagined. What these two little guys said was probably just a drop in the ocean. No wonder Xue Chang An would leave.
But no matter how exquisite the original character was, she was still his wife and mother of his children.
As she was thinking, she heard Xue Baijun beside her suddenly call out excitedly, “Father!”
