Chapter 67: Chapter 067 Unfilial Descendants Chapter 67: Chapter 067 Unfilial Descendants Old Madam’s shout startled Bai Ruozhu, who was closest to her.
She instantly noticed a large cut on Old Madam’s finger, from which blood was seeping out.
It didn’t seem to be a very deep wound though, judging from the amount of blood.
Glancing over, Bai Ruozhu saw that it was a hook from the cart that was originally used to hang bacon and Chinese sausage.
It seed that Old Madam was so guilt-ridden that when Bai Ruozhu shouted at her, she accidentally scraped the hook.
Well, she had only herself to bla.
Regardless, this was Bai Ruozhu’s grandmother, and since she was the closest, Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to rush over with a handkerchief, asking, “Grandmother, are you alright?
Please let bandage it quickly.”
As she was about to bandage Old Madam’s hand with the clean handkerchief, Old Madam turned her head violently and hissed at her, “You bring bad luck!
It’s you who wants to see dead.
Get away from !” After saying that, she suddenly pushed Bai Ruozhu away harshly.
Bai Ruozhu was taken aback and wasn’t able to dodge in ti.
Her body staggered backward, and she was on the verge of falling onto the ground.
Fortunately, Lin Ping’er and Mother Rongrong, who were in the yard, had rushed over when they heard Old Madam’s shout.
Lin Ping’er swiftly supported her daughter, preventing Bai Ruozhu from falling down.
Even so, Bai Ruozhu broke out in a cold sweat.
She had almost fallen hard onto the ground.
If that had happened, there was a real risk she might have given birth prematurely.
As Lin Ping’er supported her daughter, she beca furious and yelled at Old Madam, “Mother, what on earth are you doing?
Ruozhu is your own granddaughter.
How could you push her so violently while she is pregnant?”
Old Madam ignored Lin Ping’er, holding her right hand injury with her left and continued to curse, “What’s wrong with my pushing her?
This ill-oned money-loser wants to kill her grandmother.
She is responsible for this cut on my hand.
This is unfilial and deserves family punishnt!
It’s a light punishnt for her to be pushed over.”
After saying that, she intensified her glare at Bai Ruozhu, “Raising you, a money-loser, has made your father poor!
Saying that you were marrying a man into our ho, but were you not abandoned?
If you stay here all your life, no amount of money will suffice.
Now you’re bringing one more mouth to feed, living off of us for free, and you’re even trying to harm .”
Bai Ruozhu, still dazed from the scare, wanted to avoid arguing with the crazy old woman at first.
But hearing her blather like this, Bai Ruozhu could no longer remain silent.
“Grandmother, have a heart.
Was it really who pushed the cart into you or touched you at all?
How can you bla this cut of yours on ?” she asked, holding her waist and glancing at Old Madam.
She did not, however, wish to engage in a debate with Old Madam about Chang Sheng at the mont.
There were still guests in the house.
Old Madam may enjoy making a fool of herself, but Bai Ruozhu couldn’t afford such a loss of face.
Everyone in the room ca out when they heard the commotion.
Seeing his mother scolding his daughter in such a harsh manner, Bai Yihong’s eyes reddened.
He wanted to say that his daughter was hardly a freeloader – all the money in the house now was earned by her, and it was she who was supporting their family!
But Bai Ruozhu had instructed that no one should say anything, so he had to hold his tongue.
Master Bai is a man who values face.
Seeing Zhang Liliang present, he felt his face burning.
He promptly yelled at Old Madam, “Stop this commotion!
If you’re hurt, go ho and dress your wound.”
Upon seeing that Master Bai wasn’t supporting her, Old Madam suddenly sat on the ground, wailing and crying.
She complained about her misfortune, her ungrateful son, and her granddaughter who wished her dead, carrying on loudly as if she hoped all the neighbors would hear.
Bai Ruozhu let out a cold laugh and glance at Master Bai.
His temples were throbbing violently, a sure sign that he was extrely angry.
Indeed, Master Bai was so infuriated that he began to cough violently, nearly choking.
Seeing this, Old Madam dared not make any more fuss.
If she made Master Bai sick and sothing serious happened to him, she wouldn’t be able to live peacefully thereafter.
It took Master Bai a while to catch his breath.
He took a few sips of the warm water his grandson handed to him and then said to Zhang Liliang, “Liliang, I’m not feeling well today.
I’ll go ho first.
You and Yihong go on drinking, don’t worry about .”
Zhang Liliang offered to escort Master Bai, saying, “Should I accompany you ho?”
Master Bai hastily declined.
What kind of host would impose such a task on a guest?
“I’m much better now.
I can have my wife help ho.”
After the old master finished speaking, he looked at his wife with her hair in disarray and tears and snot staining her face.
He found it ridiculous that he still referred to her as “wife” in such an elegant manner.
He felt utterly disgraced.
In the end, the old master glared at his wife and Wang’s family before commanding, “Stop standing around here.
Everyone, follow ho!”
Upon his command, he stord out of the yard.
The old woman and Wang’s family followed hurriedly.
However, before leaving, the old woman shot a vicious glare at Bai Ruozhu.
Once they were out of the house, the old woman started to wail again pitifully.
Her crying and complaining had already attracted the attention of their neighbors.
So even ca out to watch.
They saw her with tears streaming down her face, blood on her hand, and her hair all over the place, looking as if she had just been beaten.
The Bai family stood at the entrance without stepping out, but through the gap in the door, Bai Ruozhu could still see what was happening outside.
The old woman had just glared at her viciously, but now she was crying weakly and pitifully.
She really was a good actress.
Soone felt curious and asked from outside, “Yo, what happened to you, old lady from the Bai Family?”
The old woman cried even harder and murmured sothing about her ‘unfilial descendants.’
The old master paused for a mont and glared at her again.
Although he did not stop to explain anything, Bai Ruozhu noticed and felt a chill in her heart.
The old master certainly cared about saving face and did not want to comnt on his wife’s foolish behavior in public, but now their family was unjustly accused of being unfilial.
Once everyone had left, Zhang Liliang apologized to Bai Yihong with a friendly smile, saying, “Older brother, it seems that I’ve caused you so trouble.”
Bai Yihong waved his hand hastily and replied, “It’s not your fault.
Private affairs can be quite troubleso to sort, don’t worry about it.”
Zhang Liliang nodded and didn’t say anything more.
Everyone then turned to Bai Ruozhu to ask if she had been hurt.
She shook her head and said, “I’m fine, thanks to my mother’s support.”
Lin Ping embraced her daughter’s arm and whispered, “Don’t take your grandmother’s words to heart.
She has been like this for quite so ti.”
Bai Ruozhu smiled at her mother and responded, “If I took everything to heart, I would have died from anger a long ti ago.”
Feeling awkward, Zhang Liliang and his wife decided to take their leave.
Without hesitation, they swiftly unloaded the goods from the cart.
Although Bai Yihong tried to convince them not to leave empty-handed, they insisted on gift everything to the Bai family.
Once the cart was empty, Rongrong climbed on it and waved at Bai Ruozhu, flashing an innocent smile.
She called out, “Sister, I’m leaving first.
If you ever visit the town, co play with at the West Market!”
Bai Ruozhu’s mood brightened, thanks to Rongrong’s infectious smile.
She too grinned and replied, “Alright, I’ll treat you to sugar-coated haws when the ti cos.”
Giggling, Rongrong agreed, “Deal, don’t forget it.”
