The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

Old Lady Bai looked around the room, and finally fixed her gaze on Yao, her eyes half narrowed, "Even young ladies from official families are not as arrogant as you."

"Mom, I agree!"

Yao quickly gave in. If she didn't agree, Old Lady Bai would have even more unpleasant words waiting for her.

A merchant girl... this background was not something she could choose.

"Okay, mother," Bai Laoer came out to smooth things over for his wife, "I'll go to the tribe and talk about the matter later. We still have to hurry up and pack up. We have to leave in a day or two."

Old Mrs. Bai's eyelids drooped and she stopped scolding Yao.

Everyone in the room knew they had to leave and looked worried.

"Boss, go to Wangjiazhuang and tell your uncle. Langzhi, go to your aunt's house and ask your uncle to come here."

After Bai Laoer left, Old Lady Bai ignored the mother and daughter of the Yao family and turned around to tell the father and son of the first wife to run errands.

Bai Langzhi is the second son of Boss Bai. Upon hearing the order, he ran away to avoid this place of trouble.

"Let's gather the things together and make some big pancakes for the journey."

Old Mrs. Bai began to assign tasks to other people in the room.

As for Wei Liu and his son, she just nodded and said nothing more, letting the father and son walk towards the backyard with the two children.

"Wait a moment, old man."

Old Mrs. Bai called out to Wei Hongmian, and the other two daughters-in-law also stopped.

"Why don't you two get busy in the kitchen? What are you doing here?!" Old Mrs. Bai glared at the other two daughters-in-law, and they left in shame.

Old Mrs. Bai drove the two men out of the door and quickly locked it from the inside so that no one could come in.

Wei Hongmian's heart was beating fast when she saw this. She had no memory, and Bai Zhao was not around, so she was afraid of saying something wrong and exposing herself.

"Why aren't you following me!" Old Mrs. Bai walked towards the inner room and turned around to call Wei Hongmian.

"Hey!"

Wei Hongmian was startled, trotted a few steps, and stepped over the threshold holding on to Old Lady Bai's arm.

Old Mrs. Bai's clothes were a little thin and she didn't have much flesh on her body.

However, Old Mrs. Bai did not refuse her daughter-in-law's kindness. Her eyebrows relaxed for a moment and then quickly returned to normal.

Wei Hongmian didn't dare to say anything. She had no idea how the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along.

When the two of them arrived at Old Lady Bai's room, Old Lady Bai pulled out her arm and said, "You sit down first!"

The room was simply furnished with a bed, the curtains on the bed no longer showing their original color.

A table, four stools, a dressing table, a wardrobe, and a wooden box.

There were only these things in the room, nothing else, but the room was very clean without a trace of dust.

On the surface, the original mother-in-law was also a frugal old lady.

Wei Hongmian sat down carefully, not daring to look around. Out of the corner of his eye he only noticed Old Lady Bai sticking her butt out and searching for something in a wooden box.

Wei Hongmian didn't have to wait long before Old Lady Bai came over with a box with peeling paint.

"Hongmian, take this!" Old Mrs. Bai pulled out a stool and sat down, then stuffed the wooden box in her hand into Wei Hongmian's hand.

Wei Hongmian opened the box and found a map and a stack of land deeds inside.

"Mom, what is this?"

The deed was to the city of Yuzhou, but the map was a bit complicated and she couldn't understand it.

"Your father sent this to me a while ago, but I didn't open it. Please keep it. It's also a thought for you."

Old Mrs. Bai didn't know what was inside, so she didn't open it to look.

Wei Hongmian didn't say anything. She decided to let Bai Zhao take a look first before making any plans.

"Hongmian, it is indeed San'er's fault this time.

He knows he was wrong, so you just live your life well.

That pair of siblings have always been cunning since they were young. San'er didn't even know that he was wronged. This time the prodigal son has returned, you~"

Old Mrs. Bai saw her youngest son picking up food for Wei Hongmian at the dinner table this morning. She believed that the two would not divorce each other easily.

Wei Hongmian now doesn’t know how to start. If it were his original self, he would definitely not leave the Bai family.

"You should also keep these banknotes! Your father gave them to me so that we in the Bai family can take care of you."

Old Mrs. Bai took out another handkerchief and stuffed it into Wei Hongmian's hand.

Was all this arranged by the original owner's father, Wei Shou?

There was no mention of this matter in the letter.

Wei Shou is gambling on human nature.

Wei Hongmian opened his handkerchief, revealing a stack of silver bills.

It was about five hundred taels, more than their family’s savings.

“Your father has done his duty first, and I am not a heartless person.

As long as you return to Jingkanzi Village, these things will be yours."

Old Mrs. Bai looked serious and did not show any greed towards the contents of the handkerchief.

Wei Hongmian did not refuse, and took out a silver note of 100 taels and stuffed it back into Old Lady Bai's hand, "Mom, keep these for your spending."

"I have money to spend," Old Lady Bai pushed back, "If you trust me, you can exchange this for silver and use it to raise your nephews and nieces."

Wei Hongmian didn't expect that the originally mean old lady had such a warm side.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been talking for only ten minutes when Xiao Wang's figure appeared on the window.

"Mom, don't worry, I will never leave the Bai family as long as my husband comes back."

Wei Hongmian had already noticed someone outside the window, so he simply led the matter onto Bai Zhao.

"Okay, you two should live well," Old Lady Bai did not notice anything unusual and reminded him again, "We women can only stand firm if we have a son. When we settle down, you two should also have a son."

Old Mrs. Bai’s words made Wei Hongmian’s heart skip a beat. In modern times, they are almost sixty years old, but they have never thought about having a second child.

The conversation between the two came to an end, and the shadow on the window disappeared.

Wei Hongmian breathed a sigh of relief.

She hasn't figured out the temperaments of anyone in the Bai family yet, so she doesn't dare show these things in front of them.

She is not as daring as Wei Shou and does not dare to gamble on human nature.

"Okay, go help with some light work, don't get too tired! Once you're settled, take good care of yourself. Your face is so yellow."

Wei Hongmian quickly bowed and left, and didn't listen to Old Lady Bai talking about having a child anymore.

Before leaving, she pretended to put the things in her arms, but actually put them in the living room of the villa.

Old Mrs. Bai looked at her back, sighed, and stood up and left.

"Sister-in-law!"

Before the person arrived, an old voice was heard.

Old Mrs. Bai was observing every tree and blade of grass in the house, trying to imprint them all in her heart. Before she had time to feel sad, she was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the Bai clan leader.

"Come inside and talk!"

Old Lady Bai stopped the clan leader and led the people into the house.

"I heard from the second kid, sister-in-law, is that news true?"

The Bai chief sat at the top, looking worried.

"Well, my relative who was a high-ranking official died in battle, and his family also died in the city."

"Someone from the tribe will be coming soon. If we really have to migrate, it will be no small matter! Oh, and let Bai Zhao and his three brothers come in as well."

The Bai chief's brows were furrowed into a "川" shape, making his face look even older.
