The place that Wei Liu and his companions chose to rest was relatively open and the view was unobstructed.

Several solar lights hung from finger-thick branches, illuminating the area where they were.

These people are now divided into three small groups.

One group was from the Prince of Yan, and the other group was the remaining ten captives and the mother and son of the Tie family.

The remaining people are the Bai family and the Zhou family.

The three parties are clearly divided.

Bai Jingzhi glanced around and saw the unfamiliar face. "Is that him? He looks familiar."

Changbo sat next to Wei Li and whispered something.

He suddenly looked up, met Bai Jingzhi's gaze, and smiled faintly.

Bai Jingzhi saw his features clearly and suddenly realized, "This man is somewhat similar to Changhe beside Jiang Zhu. They should be brothers."

"You remember it clearly," Wei Liu looked down at her, "good-looking men are poisonous."

"What do you mean?" Bai Jingzhi thought he had heard it wrong and was confused. "They don't look that good, do they?"

Wei Liu left her and went straight to the campfire. "Eat something first, and then we can talk."

Bai Jingzhi understood, "Okay, I just happen to have some ideas."

"Granddaughter, come quickly. Grandma has saved some delicious food for you!" Old Lady Bai called to her and pushed Old Lady Zhou aside. "When you're full, go lie down. Don't take up space here. Yue'e, come here too."

Old Mrs. Zhou was pushed away and was a little unhappy. "If you have something to say, just talk it over. Why are you using force?"

"I've tried to talk to you nicely, but your butt is heavier than a rock. I've told you to move several times, but you won't budge."

Old Lady Bai glared and put her hands on her hips, "Don't you see that the children are exhausted after coming back? You are already full and still taking up space."

Old Mrs. Zhou was not to be outdone, and her hot temper was also revealed. "I'm old, so what's wrong with warming myself by the fire? These two little girls are strong, so what's wrong with waiting for a while!"

"Well, Mrs. Zhou, it turns out that your gentleness before was all fake! I really regret it! My daughter married into your Zhou family, but she didn't enjoy the happiness for a few days, and her health was ruined!"

Old Lady Bai became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She picked up a firewood stick and said, "I told you to pretend to be sick and not work every day. What the hell!"

"Bah! If it weren't for your daughter, would our Zhou family abandon our homes and follow you? What's the point of living in hiding like this? We can still survive in Fengming Mountain!"

Old Mrs. Zhou yelled at the top of her lungs, vowing to defeat Old Mrs. Bai in terms of voice.

The two old ladies were arguing more and more fiercely, and when their sons heard them, they hurried over to separate them.

"Mom, you should take a rest first. You were sick before and always lying in bed. How come you have the energy to quarrel with others now?"

Zhou Wen's tone wasn't very good either.

Just now, Zhou Yue'e came back to say hello to them, but Old Lady Zhou completely ignored her.

She doesn't care whether her granddaughter lives or dies.

Zhou Wen saw it and felt chilled.

We are all family. We have been separated for many years and now our family is reunited, but I still have the same attitude.

"You are such an unfilial thing! I told you not to marry the daughter of a scholar. We are not a good match. You can't lift her or carry her. You didn't even lay two eggs and you gave birth to a disaster. You—"

Zhou Wen couldn't stand it any longer, so he covered his mother's mouth and apologized to Old Lady Bai, "Mother-in-law, my mother is a little confused, I apologize on her behalf."

After saying that, he took Old Lady Zhou away to where they slept.

Bai Meidong did not leave with them. She lowered her head and stared at the campfire in a daze.

"You said back then that you didn't want to get married. Do you just want her face? Do you think good looks can feed you?" When Old Mrs. Bai saw how dejected she was, she felt even more disappointed with her.

At this time, Boss Bai started to persuade her, "Mom, my sister is a member of the Zhou family after all, you should -"

Old Lady Bai pushed her eldest son aside and said, "Get out of the way. An old woman is scolding her daughter, and she still has to look at your face? I have been fed up with the old woman's behavior for a long time. I have endured it all the way!"

She walked up to Bai Meidong and straightened her daughter's face:

"My good daughter has returned, but she can't even get a good look from that old woman. As a mother, you just stand there and watch?"

Bai Meidong was stunned and didn't say anything.

"I didn't behave like this when you were bullied." Old Mrs. Bai's voice dissipated in the wind.

"..."

The rest of the Bai family fell silent.

"Yue'e, come to your grandmother's place with your cousin. I've left some delicious food for you."

Old Mrs. Bai didn't know when the four of them would come back, so she kept half of the chicken for two days.

She sniffed a few times and said, "It has no smell. Fortunately, it's not hot. You two should eat quickly. I'll serve you some corn porridge."

Old Mrs. Bai divided half of the chicken into two and stuffed half into each person's mouth.

Bai Jingzhi was lucky. She did not feel the love of her father or mother in her childhood, but she had a grandfather who loved her like a treasure.

She knew that Zhou Yue'e had indeed not received love from her family since she was a child, so she comforted her:

"Sister Yue'e, you have your grandmother and my mother who love you, don't be sad."

She saw water droplets hanging on Zhou Yue'e's eyelashes and her eyes were filled with moisture.

The two sisters had good meals these days, and Bai Jingzhi was also touched by Old Lady Bai's actions.

"Grandma, next time you have something delicious to eat, just fill your stomach first. You've lost a lot of weight in the past two days."

There was a little more sincerity in Bai Jingzhi's words. The old lady's figure became thinner and her clothes seemed empty on her body.

The strong old lady suddenly softened, "Grandma is old, her body is half buried in the soil, you just need to eat enough."

Old Mrs. Bai has been strong all her life. She was a little depressed during the few days when Old Mr. Bai passed away, but she was always unforgiving at other times.

Bai Jingzhi sensed her emotional fluctuations and hugged her arm, "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"

"It's you!" Old Lady Bai pinched her granddaughter's nose, "You said you were in such danger, yet you dared to run away by yourselves!"

"Grandma, we are confident. Besides, with Sister Yue'e here, there will be no danger.

Grandma was afraid that we would be in danger, so she treated Yue'e better, and she would protect us more diligently in the future."

Bai Jingzhi hugged his grandmother and started to act coquettishly and tease her.

The little incident here was clearly seen by the other two parties.

Chang Bo nudged Wei Li's arm with his elbow and asked in a voice that both of them could hear, "Is that someone from your aunt's family?"

Wei Li just nodded and said nothing.

"Hey, you look like that, are you heartbroken?" Changbo followed his gaze, not seeing clearly who he was looking at.

"No, it's not easy for Miss Zhou either. She has a lot of skills, but her family doesn't take her seriously."

Wei Li's voice was not loud, and he seemed to feel the same way.

Changbo patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, we'll meet each other someday. Once you send the jinx back, you'll have plenty of opportunities."

After saying that, Changbo glanced at Jiang Zhu.
