Chapter 430: Dumplings

Bai Zhi said: “This is the 2 liters of rice that you want. I’m giving you 2 pounds of noodles. You don’t need to pay. I also added moon cakes from yesterday. They are leftovers, you don’t need to thank me. Take them back with you.”

Mrs. Zhang tightly squeezed the things in her hands. Her eyes reddened, she doesn’t know what to say.

Bai Zhi sighed inside her heart and then said with a low voice: “I, Bai Zhi, hated people who think they can gain something without working hard. Since you repented, I will naturally look at you differently. Although I can’t be a relative to you, at least I can be a neighbor of the same village. I’m not saying that I will help you all the time in the future, but as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to survive.”

Mrs. Zhang and Bai Erzhu nodded their heads again and again. Bai Zhi then continued to say: “After all the fields are plowed, I need to plant the seeds, I will also look for people. If you are willing to work on it, you will earn 1 silver coin per 1 acre of field, but I wanted to finish everything in 1 day. I can’t let you work in all 3 acres, you will have to work with others.”

Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed: “I am willing, I am willing to work with others. I will not delay your plans.”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “That’s good, then go back now.”

Mrs. Zhang and Bai Erzhu thanked Bai Zhi, then left. Right after walking on the gate, Zhao Lan hurriedly approached them. She was holding a large white porcelain bowl with a lid on the top in her hands.

Zhao Lan handed the bowl to Mrs. Zhang and said with a smile: “These are dumplings made by Zhi’er. I just took it in the pot, you take it back home and eat.”

“This, how can I!” Mrs. Zhang was flattered, but then busily refused.

Zhao Lan said: “I once lived in the Bai family. I know very well how it feels. You didn’t help me only once, although it’s just trivial matters, I always kept it inside my heart. Now that I can help you, I am very happy.”

Zhao Lan stuffed the bowl into Mrs. Zhang’s hand and then turned away.

Seeing Zhao Lan’s disappearing back, Mrs. Zhang could no longer hold her tears. She used to help Zhao Lan, but that was also due to her selfish intention, she never sincerely helped her even once. But now, the mother and daughter greatly rewarding her. She felt ashamed!

Bai Erzhu sighed and said: “I didn’t know that I was too blind in the past. Such a good person, I didn’t even put her in my eyes. I am a jerk.”

Mrs. Zhang wiped away the tears on her face and let out a long sighed: “Past is past. From now on, let’s be good to others. We will never follow your niang and your sister-in-law.”

The couple walked towards Zhang Sanshui’s house with their things. Zhang Sanshui’s house was quite far from the Bai Family’s house, but to go to Zhang Sanshui’s house, they had to make a turn in the direction of the Bai Family’s house. In their hands, there were two paper bags and a large white porcelain bowl. Mrs. Zhang was carefully holding it, it must be filled with something good.

In the large white porcelain bowl, there must be food. This couple was quite capable. They finished eating the porridge early, they haven’t eaten anything for dinner. It seems she can eat again at night.

Mrs. Liu stared at the couple as she approached them. She was planning to greet them. However, the two turned into the lane. That direction was towards the Zhang Family.

Mrs. Liu became anxious, she rushed forward and asked: “Where are you going?”

Bai Erzhu replied with a bad tone: “Don’t bother us, take care of yourself.”

Mrs. Liu didn’t give up, she chased after them and then asked: “What are you holding? It seems heavy. Let me help you.”
