Chapter 272

In the dream, Bai Ying returned to her previous life, more than a year after she married into the Cai family.

It was summer and heavy rain lasted for several days.

It rained continuously since early morning, and Bai Ying got up early to make breakfast for the family.

When her meal was almost ready, Cai's mother and Cai Dabao, who had just gotten up, had already gotten on the kang and sat cross-legged around the dining table on the kang, waiting for Bai Ying to bring the meal over.

"Where's the meal? Why isn't it ready yet? Are you trying to starve us to death?"

Cai's mother's sarcastic curses came from the inner room.

Bai Ying, who was scooping millet porridge from the big pot, shook her wrist, and the boiling hot porridge splashed onto the back of her hand, forming a blister. Even though the pain was so obvious, she didn't dare to scream.

Tears welled up in Bai Ying's eyes, but she tried hard to hold them back. The impatient voices of Cai's mother and son rang out from the inner room again. She didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly brought the freshly cooked millet porridge to the dining table on the kang.

There were two bowls in total. Cai's mother and Cai Dabao each had a bowl of millet porridge in front of them, but there was no bowl for Bai Ying.

For more than a year after she got married, Cai's mother never let her sit at the table. It was better for her to eat some leftovers. Because she was worried about the food at home, Cai's mother would lock the food in the cabinet, and before each meal, she would take out the amount for her and Cai Dabao and let Bai Ying cook.

In other words, Bai Ying didn't put her own portion in the porridge, so for breakfast she could basically only drink the water used to rinse the pot of rice porridge, and there were so few rice grains in it that she could even count them.

Even so, Bai Ying had to wait until Cai's mother and Cai Dabao finished their meal before she could go eat herself.

Looking at the Cai family mother and son eating comfortably on the kang, Bai Ying suppressed the envy in her eyes, shrank her body continuously, and tried to minimize her presence.

Snapped!

There was a sudden sound of slamming the table.

Cai's mother spat out the porridge in her mouth with a "Puh" sound and threw the chopsticks at Bai Ying. "You brought the porridge when it was so hot. Are you deliberately trying to burn your mother-in-law to death?"

"But, but weren't you the one who urged me to serve it quickly?"

Bai's head was knocked to one side by the blow, and her messy hair covered most of her face. It was difficult for anyone to recognize that the haggard peasant woman in front of them was the former village beauty of Liushu Brigade.

"Alright, alright, you've grown wings now, and now you dare to talk back, right?"

Of course, Mother Cai would never admit she was wrong. She glared at Bai Ying fiercely, pointed at her with her chopsticks, and said sarcastically, "If I don't teach you a lesson, you still don't know who's the master in this family, right?"

Bai Ying lowered her head and dared not say a word.

She has tried her best to learn to get used to the fact that Cai's mother always finds reasons to criticize her.

What else can I do if I’m not used to it?

She was not the biological daughter of the Bai family, so she could not return to the Liushu Brigade. This Gouweiba Village also could not accommodate her. She had no choice but to continue staying in the Cai family.

As long as she endures a little longer, until Cai's mother and Cai Dabao pass away, she should be completely relieved, right?

Realizing that Bai Ying remained silent, as if she had agreed to everything, yet also as if she was resisting something, Cai's mother immediately became furious. She clutched her chest and pretended to shout, "Oh my! Where else in the world is there a woman as miserable as me? First my husband died, and now even my daughter-in-law has taken over my head."

Hearing this, Cai Dabao, who had just been busy eating breakfast, suddenly became energetic and said, "Don't be angry, Mom. I'll go beat her up right away!"

"That's right! Bao'er, mother is telling you that this evil daughter-in-law must be beaten. If she isn't beaten, she won't learn her lesson!"

"Yeah! Beat her up!"

At the instigation of Cai's mother, Cai Dabao actually got off the kang and strode towards Bai Ying. His eyes were full of violent flames, and he was rubbing his hands together, as if he would fight Bai Ying at any time.

The man's tall figure cast a shadow over Bai Ying, completely enveloping her. She felt like a prey being targeted by a wild beast. She didn't even have the strength to run, and could only weakly beg for mercy, "Don't, don't hit me. I won't do it again next time."

"No! If Mom says she's going to beat you, she's going to beat you!"

Cai Dabao kicked Bai Ying directly, and she staggered and hit the wall in the distance. Her back and waist became numb instantly when they touched the wall, as if they were not her own.

Her face was distorted with pain and it took her a long time to recover.

Cai's mother gloated from the side, "Brother Bao fought well, that's it!"

"Mom praised me, hehe..."

Cai Dabao smiled foolishly and continued to walk towards Bai Ying. He raised his palm as big as a palm fan and was about to fall on Bai Ying again.

Bai Ying bit her lips, the intense pain forced her to cheer herself up.
