"Mom, what’s the matter?" When Bai Jixuan noticed his mother frowning while standing in the corner of the room, he couldn’t help but walk over. He peered down at his mother and asked lightly, "Is everything okay?"
"What?" Mother Bai snapped out of her thoughts. She raised her head to look at her son with confusion. What was he talking about? Because she was worrying about Bai iyue, she didn’t hear a thing that her son said to her just now.
"Why are you frowning? Did sothing happen?" Bai Jixuan repeated with a subtle furrow between his brows. Though he didn’t push his mother for an answer, he was truly confused. What was going on? Why was his mother making an expression like that? It was as if the sky was falling.
Mother Bai parted her lips. She wanted to tell her son about her suspicions but before the words could leave her mouth, she sighed and shook her head. No, she couldn’t make a loud fuss over this matter yet.
She had no evidence in hand; what if she was just thinking too much? If she told Bai Jixuan that she was worried about Bai iyue’s pregnancy, her second son would definitely make a fuss.
Maybe Lei Qian might take advantage of this opportunity to clear his relationship with Bai iyue.
No, this matter cannot be told to Bai Jixuan for the ti being.
"Mom—"
"What are you yelling in my ears for? Isn’t it because you are unrealiable? How long has it been since I told you that I want the kitchen knob to be fixed? You are so forgetful! Such a little thing and you can’t even rember it. Ahh! I am so mad. n! They cannot do a single thing right. Such a little thing and I need to remind you more than three tis a day. n only know how to hurt and tire won out; we can never leave important things in your hands."
Mother Bai went inside the kitchen while muttering angrily. She was angry at her daughter, at the world, and at Lei Qian—basically at everything. She cursed this and then cursed that.
Looking at his mother, who was cursing nonstop, Bai Jixuan was dumbfounded. What was going on? He just said one word and his mother rebuked him with thousands. He was worried about her! So how co the matter turned into him being unreliable? Even the entire generation of n was dragged down.
"Brother—"
Bai Jixuan turned to look at his brother; his expression was dumbfounded. Didn’t he just forget to fix the knob in the kitchen? Why was he scolded like he had committed so grave cri?
Bai Zhan was also helpless. He knew that there was sothing that was troubling their mother but she could not speak to them about it. So, she was releasing her steam by scolding and quarrelling with them. He couldn’t say that they were just being used as a punching bag, could he?
Thus, he patted his brother on the shoulder and said to him in a calm voice, "You are not the only one getting scolded. Didn’t Mother say that all n are unreliable? Which ans that she is also scolding Lei Qian."
Bai Zhan had long understood his brother’s ntality. He would be upset if he were scolded alone but if Lei Qian were scolded along with him, Bai Jixuan would certainly feel better.
Sure enough, as Bai Jixuan’s complexion turned better after hearing his elder brother’s words. He nodded and agreed with what Bai Zhan said before heading inside the kitchen to deal with the kitchen knob.
The sharp words of his mother no longer sounded as upsetting as he thought!
Bai iyue could, of course, hear the complaining of her mother and sighed. She knew that her mother was worried about her but Bai iyue was not yet ready to talk about her pregnancy with Mother Bai.
Her mother might be a simple-minded woman but there were tis when she could be hardheaded. When her mother found out that Bai Qingshi had cheated on her, she didn’t think twice before aborting the child in her belly. Enjoy exclusive content from .Côm
Bai iyue was worried that her mother would be stimulated and do the sa thing to her. She had to drag this matter on until her pregnancy couldn’t be aborted! Only then would her mother accept the child in her belly.
With her head buzzing with all kinds of thoughts, Bai iyue opened the Barter System. She first looked at the notifications that were displayed on the screen and finally chose two barter. The first barter request was about a warm quilt and in exchange, the person was handing out a pair of pheasants and fruit seeds.
Though it was not a big barter, for Bai iyue, who knew these fruits would soon beco a rare delicacy in this world, it was an excellent request.
The second barter request was for an excellent-quality radio and in exchange, the person was willing to hand out a sabre sword.
Bai iyue had already read the description about the sword and she liked it very much. Though the butcher knife was good, it was tedious to clean. With the sabre sword, she no longer needed to worry about cleaning or sharpening it again and again.
She also picked up a little barter request that was for a bowl of authentic braised pork and rice in exchange for so fine-quality chocolates.
Once she was done, Bai iyue had an extra pair of pheasants clucking in her room along with a box of chocolates that tasted really good. However, she didn’t finish all of them; instead, she took a bite of a piece of chocolate and locked the rest up.
Bai iyue then closed the curtains of her room and nestled in the warm and comfortable blanket to take another nap. Now that she no longer had to worry about running around collecting supplies, she wasn’t going to treat herself badly. She would take the desired rest when she wanted and eat her fill when she felt like it.
She would never act foolishly like she did in her past life.
