Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

Later, when Gu Mingyue was chatting with Bai Zhonghuai, she finally understood why her proposal had caused so much consternation.

Nowadays, people talk about combating feudal superstition, but conservative thinking ultimately prevails.

Everyone has some taboos about death, illness and the like.

They are even more reluctant to curse others, as they believe that doing so will result in bad karma.

But even a rabbit will bite when it gets angry.

Bai Yanqing wished he could cut the culprit who hurt his daughter into pieces.

As much as he valued his son-in-law in the past, he now hates him to the core.

To be honest, when Mingyue first said to send the other person away, Bai Yanqing was already very moved before she explained clearly.

Now, I fully agree.

He only said in a hateful voice, "I think this idea couldn't be better. Anyway, the Chen family boss and his men will be arrested sooner or later, so it's not a problem to add Chen Wen to the squad. Since they all need to be reformed, reforming in a difficult place can better prove their determination to reform themselves.

Besides, Chen Wen is not innocent. He must have known about the robbers. This is considered as shielding. And as for Wang Yali, if it weren't for the child's reputation, I would bring people to his house and slap him a few times. Just letting him go for reform is a bargain for him."

Bai Zhonghuai drank some tea and pondered as he drank...

After a while, he put the teacup heavily on the table and made a decision, "Let's do it. The Bai family has been silent for so long, and the evil spirits have almost gotten out of control. It's time to let them know who has the final say in this textile factory."

After settling this matter, Gu Mingyue talked with the old man and the others for a while, then stood up and prepared to leave.

"Uncle Bai, I really came here on short notice today. If I leave late, my family will be worried. Next time, when I have time, I will definitely eat a full stomach at your place before leaving."

Bai Zhonghuai was amused by her words. "You are talking nonsense. Don't use random words. Okay, I won't keep you. But you must keep your word. Also, remember to bring your family with you next time."

Gu Mingyue casually replied, "Okay, as long as you don't mind."

Bai Zhonghuai saw through her perfunctory attitude and said directly, "I heard Xiwen say that your nephew is more obedient than any other child she has ever seen. Don't try to fool this old man. If you don't come, I will go to your house and invite you personally."

Gu Mingyue was exposed and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't I agree to it? Old man, you don't trust people and you lose your temper. You are really hard to please."

Before the old man glared and was about to get angry, Bai Yanqing quickly interrupted them and said, "Mingyue, when will the dates in your village be harvested?"

"You can pick them in the next two days. If you wait until the dates are fully ripe, they won't keep well."

Bai Yanqing thought for a moment and said to her, "Send the dates to the textile factory the day after tomorrow, directly to the gatekeeper. I will arrange for someone to pick you up, and then have him take you to choose fabrics. Pick whatever you like. Don't be polite, otherwise, you'll be looking down on your uncle."

Gu Mingyue quickly declined, "Don't worry, Uncle Bai, you should focus on your own business first, don't let me delay anything."

"Don't worry, after lying dormant for so long, it's time to show your claws, otherwise some people will really think you are a big shot."

Gu Mingyue caught the fierceness that flashed across the other person's eyes.

She understood in her heart that this man was not only a father who loved his daughter dearly, but also the head of a factory who was decisive and ruthless.

Bai Fenglai was still a little listless. Unless someone took the initiative to talk to her, she would be immersed in her own emotions.

She didn't understand what she had done wrong.

Her beloved husband betrayed her.

A good friend who grew up with her wants to harm her.

Not only that, they were actually having an affair behind her back...

The thought of this made her feel extremely sick.

Gu Mingyue looked at Bai Fenglai's listless appearance and sighed secretly.

For someone as naive and simple as her, the continuous blows are probably unbearable.

So she suggested, "Sister Bai, we'll pick dates the day after tomorrow. If you have nothing to do, you can take the children to my place for a stroll. Although the conditions in the village are not as good as those in your city, there are many new and interesting things. You can just take it as a way to relax."

Bai Fenglai was somewhat moved and asked in a low voice, "Can I go?"

Gu Mingyue said helplessly, "Sister Bai, I still prefer the optimistic and cheerful you before, rather than the cautious you now. Otherwise, go back and look at yourself in the mirror. Do you hardly recognize yourself? You are no different from the bitter cabbage flower. You are punishing yourself with the mistakes of others. The end result is nothing but grief for your loved ones and joy for your enemies."

Bai Fenglai's eyes were red. "I know, I know everything, but I can't control it..."

"Then don't control yourself. Why should you control yourself? Cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh, eat whatever you want, and if you want to go, then say you want to go. I'll see who dares to chase you away. Now, I ask you, do you want to go?!"

"I do." Bai Fenglai answered immediately after hearing Gu Mingyue's question.

Gu Mingyue spread her hands. "Look, it's very simple. If you want to do it, just do it. Instead of wasting time feeling uncomfortable, unable to let go, and having wild thoughts, you might as well do something to divert your attention. Maybe when you think back on today in the future, you will think you are being hypocritical. There are countless people in the world who are more miserable than you. What's wrong with them? They are all waiting to die, but you are still gritting your teeth and living your life to the death."

Bai Fenglai felt both sad and relieved.

Things that a little girl could understand, she had to fall down before she could see clearly who was a human and who was a ghost around her.

But when she looked up and noticed her family members who were worried about her, she thought, maybe life wasn't that bad.

She is indeed luckier than many people, and she should be content.

Bai Fenglai smiled with relief and said, "Thank you, Mingyue. I will bring the children with me the day after tomorrow."

These days, Bai Fenglai didn't even have the heart to take care of himself, let alone consider the feelings of his family.

Now that she finally smiled, Xu Nianci excitedly held her husband's hand.

They all knew how their daughter felt about Chen Wen, and everyone felt uncomfortable when something like this happened.

But in order to confuse the other party, I have to pretend nothing happened.

She knew that her daughter was feeling aggrieved and had always been planning to help her vent her anger.

Who could have thought that their children would be surrounded by either jackals or tigers and leopards? Just after sending Chen Wen away, Wang Yali was left behind.

She was once worried that her child would be depressed, but fortunately her daughter was blessed with good fortune and finally made a close friend.

Thinking of this, the look in Gu Mingyue's eyes became softer.

I must tell Yan Qing when I get back that in the future I will help Mingyue wherever I can, and also help wherever I cannot.

Gu Mingyue takes care of Bai Fenglai not only because he thinks she is a trustworthy person, but also because he wants to establish a good relationship with the Bai family through her, so as to exchange more supplies with the textile factory.

Not to mention anything else, just taking a few bags of cloth from the textile factory would make the villagers very happy.

Don't underestimate that thing. In the hands of a skillful person, it can be turned into a piece of clothing or bedding in minutes.

But even such a worthless thing cannot be found in the countryside.

She also thought that she could use this thing to motivate the villagers.

By then, whether it is stockpiling food or repairing canals, I believe they will be very willing to cooperate.
