Bai Wenjing’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xue Chang An had been there the entire time?
How could he eavesdrop like that!
But then she thought about it. So what if he eavesdropped? He was the one who got beaten up, and he should be the one who was embarrassed.
So Bai Wenjing glared fiercely at Xue Chang An. As expected, she saw Xue Chang An say somewhat unnaturally, “I’ll go and have a look at the pigsty as well.”
Xue Chang An fell into deep thought as he walked.
He remembered the events of that day very clearly. He could still vividly remember Bai Wenjing at that time.
At that time, Bai Wenjing had used something to paint her face white all day long. She had used rouge to paint her face red. She had even used lipstick to paint her mouth bright red. Every time she smiled, it was like a bloody mouth, like a ghost.
Not to mention this, this woman was also good at gambling. Ever since she married into his family, she had gambled more and more. Because of this matter, she had thrown a tantrum with him and his mother. In the end, she even pressed his mother to the ground and beat her up.
He had only gone up to mediate the fight, but he had also been slapped by this shrew. That slap had left blood marks all over his face.
Actually, he had wanted to discuss with Bai Wenjing that day and bring them out to do business together. No matter where they went, it was impossible for them to stay in the village.
However, that slap had cut off his thoughts. Coincidentally, Xing Shanwa next door had said that there was a way for him to set off tonight. He had wanted to inform her, but when he thought of what the shrew had done, he gritted his teeth and left immediately.
When he was halfway there, it was not that he did not regret it, and it was not that he did not want to go back. However, Xing Shanwa tried to dissuade him, telling him that as soon as he settled down, he would be able to take his mother and children to live a good life. He even said that his sister Qiao Zhen would be there, they were all neighbors, so they could take care of each other. That was why he had believed it.
The two of them set off towards their destination. Who knew that they would encounter bandits along the way? There were more than a dozen of them. They were no match for the bandits, and because they did not have much money on them, the bandits actually tied them up and made them work as coolies.
When they escaped, they actually delayed for a few months. He knew that he was too ashamed to go home to see his mother and children.
In the end, he changed his fortune and earned some money. However, because the journey was far and he could not bear to part with the money, he had Xing Shanwa bring it back. He even thought that Bai Wenjing liked to dress up and had bought a lot of jewelry, makeup, and powder. How could he have known…
Xue Chang An frowned. He had to find Xing Shanwa and ask him about it.
The door was suddenly pushed open. Bai Wenjing and Xue Chang An looked at the door at the same time. They saw Lee Guilan, who had left the house, closing the door and walking into the courtyard in a panic.
After looking around the courtyard, she walked to Xue Baijun and said in a low voice, “Good grandson, when you went out to play today, did you pee in the well in our village?”
What? Pee?
Bai Wenjing looked at Xue Baijun. Before she could scold him, she heard the door being knocked, the person knocked on the door and said, “Aunt Xue, open the door. We saw you at home! Open the door! More than one person in the village saw your Xue Baijun pee in the well. You have to come out and give us an explanation today! Open the door!”
“Yes, don’t hide anymore. We are all from the same village. I don’t believe that you won’t come out tomorrow if you don’t come out today!”
“Such a little b*stard should be pulled out and have his little thing cut off!”
Bai Wenjing felt her blood pressure starting to rise again. She was just praising this monkey b*stard for being sensible. Why did he cause trouble again?
Lee Guilan was furious when she heard this. She originally wanted to hide for a while, but who would have thought that the group of people would be so vicious and want to turn her obedient grandson into a eunuch!
Now that her son had returned, did they still want to bully them!?
Lee Guilan looked at her son and daughter-in-law behind her and instantly felt emboldened. She angrily walked to the main door and pulled it open.
The crowd of men, women, old and young squeezed at the door. Those who wanted to watch the show and give an explanation were all blocked there.
“Ptui!”
Lee Guilan went forward and spat coldly. “What’s wrong with peeing in the well?
“Don’t you know that the urine of a child is medicine?
“This thing can cure diseases. Why are you all shouting? You drank the water that my obedient grandson peed in. I haven’t even asked you for money, but you still came to me. Do you have a headache?”
…
It was not just the crowd. Even Bai Wenjing was speechless at her mother-in-law Lee Guilan’s fallacies.
When she thought about how this monkey often peed in the well, then the water they ate… Bai Wenjing instantly felt disgusted.
When Xue Baijun heard his grandmother say this, he immediately became happy. He stood beside his grandmother and chimed in proudly, “That’s right, I haven’t made you pay for the medicine I gave you!”
The crowd exploded because of this sentence. Widow Zhang rushed out of the crowd and shouted, “The child’s urine is medicine? Then why don’t you let your obedient grandson pee it for you to drink every day!”
“Today, I must tear this little bastard’s mouth apart!”
Seeing that the crowd was about to rush in, Lee Guilan had already taken a step forward to block the door. Then, she fell to sleep on the ground with a plop, she raised her voice and said, “Don’t you all want an explanation? Come on, if you have the ability, step over my old woman’s body! Beat me up, beat me to death…”
Lee Guilan howled on the ground, and everyone immediately felt as if they had eaten a fly. Seeing that little thing gloating in the courtyard, but being blocked by this old woman, they did not know how to respond.
Bai Wenjing also felt annoyed. How could this devilish child do such a thing? Especially when he dared to do something like peeing in the well. Not only did he not know how to repent, but he was also gloating at the side!
Bai Wenjing was furious. She bent down to pick up the broom that was placed on the side and slapped Xue Baijun’s butt.
Xue Baijun jumped high in pain and cried out. He turned around and glared at her.
“Kneel!”
Bai Wenjing shouted. Xue Baijun only stared at her. He had no intention of kneeling at all. Xue Chang An saw this and stood in front of Bai Wenjing, he cupped his fists at the crowd that was blocking the door and said, “It was my negligence that caused him to do such a thing. I apologize to everyone. I promise I will give everyone an explanation. I hope everyone can understand.”
The crowd that was blocking the door wanted to say something more, but when they saw Xue Chang An standing at the door with his back straight and his long robe that was made of material that they had never seen before, they knew that he was not to be trifled with.
In addition, they had beaten and scolded him, and his father had also come out to apologize. What else could they do? They all left.
When everyone left, Bai Wenjing still held the broom in her hand and glared at Xue Baijun.
Bai Wenjing was so angry that she choked. Among these naughty children, Xue Baijun was the most difficult to discipline.
Xue Chang An walked to Bai Wenjing’s side. Xue Baijun shouted as if he had seen his savior, “Father…”
Unexpectedly, his father said with a cold face, “Didn’t you hear what your mother said? Kneel down!”
