Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

"grandfather!"

"Little old man!"

After Bai Fenglai and Gu Mingyue finished shouting, they looked at each other in surprise.

Bai Zhonghuai was still "decisive and ruthless" one second ago, and the next second he turned back into a proud old man at the scrap collection station, blowing his beard and glaring at Gu Mingyue, "Little girl, what did you call me?"

"Oops, I called him out loud." Gu Mingyue thought to herself.

She smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, I'll call you Mr. Bai."

Bai Zhonghuai said unhappily, "Why call me Uncle Bai? Call me Uncle Bai."

Gu Mingyue understood that Bai Zhonghuai said this in public to elevate her status and formally accept her as a guest of honor in the Bai family.

She put away her smile and said helplessly, "Old man, it's not appropriate."

When Bai Zhonghuai first came into contact with Gu Mingyue, he found her interesting.

The little girl was sharp-tongued and never polite when speaking to him, often using insults and insults.

Unlike the people around him, who are afraid of him and avoid him.

Ever since he learned that she was the one who saved his granddaughter, Bai Zhonghuai began to treat Gu Mingyue more like his own junior.

If he hadn't met her at the door today, he would have planned to go find her in person in a few days.

However, it seemed that the little girl was not very happy about it. Thinking of what his relatives had said about how they had been repeatedly rejected when trying to contact this girl, he naturally understood the other party's concerns.

They don't have those things to say in their family, and they are not afraid that this girl will resist.

So he pretended to be angry and asked, "What do you mean by appropriate or inappropriate? You call me whatever I tell you to. What? Do you look down on me, a powerless old man?"

Gu Mingyue realized that the old man said this on purpose and was not really angry.

This was exactly what gave her a headache.

Originally, I just wanted to say hello to Bai Fenglai and contact the textile factory through her.

Unexpectedly, I found out that the arrogant old man was a "sweeping monk". No wonder he never cared about the things he gave her before.

This job is a side job. It doesn’t matter whether you make money or not. It’s enough to pass the time.

We can't just stand there at the door like this.

Besides, whether it was the scrap collection station or the textile factory, she didn't want to break off her relationship with either side.

It would be a bit ungrateful to refuse, so Gu Mingyue compromised and said, "It's my honor that Uncle Bai thinks highly of me."

Bai Zhonghuai teased her triumphantly, "You weren't so polite when you spoke to me before."

Gu Mingyue couldn't help but rolled her eyes at the old naughty boy with a bad taste, "As if you have ever been polite to me."

Bai Zhonghuai laughed heartily, "Haha, that's right. Come on, I'll take you home. From now on, treat this place as your own and come here often. If anyone dares to make you angry, tell me and I'll kick them out."

As she spoke, she pulled Gu Mingyue inside. Bai Fenglai behind her met Gu Mingyue's pleading eyes and shrugged, indicating that she could do nothing to help.

The other members of the Bai family were standing in the yard and naturally heard this.

It is unknown what each of them is thinking in their hearts, but at least on the surface, everyone is friendly and treats each other sincerely.

During this period, Bai Zhonghuai introduced each member of the Bai family to Gu Mingyue one by one.

Like the Xu family, the Bai family is also a big family.

I just don't understand. Logically, a family like theirs shouldn't be unemployed, so why are they all staying at home?

Bai Fenglai's father, Bai Yanqing, stepped forward to clear up her confusion. "Mingyue, I'm Fenglai's father. I've wanted to come here to express my gratitude for a long time. It's just that these are troubled times, and there are too many things that cannot be decided by us. So, in order to confuse outsiders, almost everyone in the family has been called back recently."

Bai Zhonghuai echoed, "Yes, it's a mess all day long, and it makes the old man's head explode."

Gu Mingyue wondered, "Don't family members usually live together?"

Bai Zhonghuai seemed to have heard something extremely shocking, and said in shock, "Who wants to live with them? It's so annoying."

Everyone in the yard laughed at the same time.

It is not difficult to see that the atmosphere in the Bai family is much more casual than that in the Xu family.

Both parties entered the room and waited for Gu Mingyue to sit down. Bai Yanqing came to her solemnly and offered her tea with both hands. "This cup of tea should have been offered a long time ago. Finally, I have the chance. Mingyue, thank you for saving my daughter."

Gu Mingyue quickly stood up and took the teacup. "Uncle Bai, please don't be like this. I'm not that great. It's just something that happened by chance. It's all Sister Bai's own good fortune. It has nothing to do with me. If you keep being so polite, it will really make me feel uneasy."

"Mingyue, you not only saved Fenglai, but also helped our Xu family. Both the Xu and Bai families owe you a favor. But today, we are not representing our family, but only thanking you as Fenglai's parents. We hope you will accept our kindness."

The person speaking was Bai Fenglai's mother Xu Nianci.

She was dressed in a moon-white cheongsam, and every move she made showed her elegance.

Her tone is gentle and her face is elegant, she truly deserves the description of being gentle as water.

Gu Mingyue couldn't resist this wave of 'gentle attack', so she drank the tea and accepted the thanks.

At this time, the person who was interrogating the uncle and nephew of the Wang family came in...

Just as he was about to lean over to speak to Bai Zhonghuai, the other party waved his hand and said, "We are not outsiders, let's talk here."

The other party couldn't help but glance at Gu Mingyue, a little surprised, but still obediently said, "Yes, sir. I have already found out that they are from the Zhou family in Beijing. The one who brought them together was the commune president Wang Bichang. The other party and Steward Wang are cousins."

Gu Mingyue raised an eyebrow. Could it be that Wang Bichang parachuted into Qingshan Town for the same reason as Butler Wang?

"Got it. You go down first and make sure to send someone to look after the two of them. Tell others that Butler Wang has caught a cold and is afraid that he will infect us, so he specially called my niece to take care of him.

Remember to spread the news about the various money that Butler Wang has given his niece over the years. Don't think that the Bai family doesn't care about her. Let them know that it is Butler Wang's niece who is taking advantage of others. Do you understand?"

"clear."

After everyone left, Gu Mingyue asked, "Uncle Bai, may I ask, does the matter between the Xu and Bai families have anything to do with Wang Bichang?"

Bai Zhonghuai recognized the voice immediately and asked curiously, "Oh? Do you know President Wang?"

"Well, it's a bit festive." Gu Mingyue said concisely, "So what I want to hear more is, will he be finished?"

Bai Zhonghuai admired the girl's frankness, but still emphasized, "Although I am very happy that we have a united front and a common enemy, I am sorry to tell you that we have no reason to attack him because Steward Wang's oral statement has no evidence."

Gu Mingyue asked casually, "Then what kind of 'pretext' would be needed to touch him?"

Bai Zhonghuai narrowed his eyes slightly and reminded her, "Girl, some things are quite involved, so you should stay out of it. Besides, Wang Bichang is very cunning, and we haven't caught him yet.

However, if we were 80% sure before, after today, we will be 100% sure that we can deter the other party. At least, his minions will be uprooted."

Gu Mingyue lowered her eyes. This was not the result she wanted most.

She made no secret of her intentions and said directly, "Uncle Bai, I only know that if you don't kill the snake, there will be endless troubles."

Bai Zhonghuai sighed, "I can see that you guys are having a big fight. Do you want to kill someone with someone else's knife?"

Gu Mingyue shook her head. "Of course not. I just took the opportunity to attract some hatred for him. A single spark can start a prairie fire. Who knows which fire might burn brighter and set him on fire as well."

From the moment they entered the room, Gu Mingyue and the Bai family took the lead in talking.

Unlike the Xu family who lived in Harbin, the Bai family lived in town, which was close, and she didn't want to lose contact with them.

So no matter whether the Bai family sincerely accepted them or just pretended to welcome them.

She chose to continue to maintain this relationship.

But I don't want to just exist as a benefactor.

She must ensure that she and the other party are on equal footing.

Deliberately showing fangs is also to avoid being looked down upon.

So that the relationship can last long.
