Bai Yueyao disagreed, saying:

"They're just an elderly woman living alone and her granddaughter. We don't look down on them for being unlucky; we'll bring them some good luck!"

"It's not like we're staying for free. Brother Zixuan is a man, so he can help with any heavy lifting around the house. It's also a way for us to help elderly people living alone!"

Director Wei was so angry he didn't know what to say. He slammed his hand on the table and said:

"Bai Zhiqing, who are you calling a lonely old man? You want to look down on the Bai family!"

"Every man in the Bai family is a hero. How dare you look down on the families of five martyrs?"

"I think you really don't know your place. If the punishment wasn't still ongoing, I would send you to the educated youth office right now and have them send you away!"

Director Wei felt that letting her go now would be letting her off too easily; how could she do something wrong and not be punished!

Besides, nobody wants to do composting and carrying manure!

It was originally intended for the people in the cowshed, but many of them were elderly people!

Director Wei was also worried that they might get sick from the cold while composting and carrying manure in the winter!

Now it's all right for these two despicable educated youths to take over!

Not to mention Tang Zixuan, Bai Yueyao was dumbfounded. How could it be the family of martyrs? The family of five martyrs.

In this era, Bai Yueyao knew all too well the value of such a family!

Tang Zixuan reacted quickly, and he immediately apologized sincerely, "Director Wei, I'm really sorry, Bai Yueyao and I really didn't know about this!"

"If she knew, she wouldn't dare say such a thing even if she had ten lives!"

"These two items are a small token of my appreciation. Please pass them on to the Bai family as an apology!"

Director Wei refused:

"The Bai family doesn't need your little bit of stuff, and they don't care about the apology you offered!"

"I'm warning you, if you dare to disturb them, not only will the people on our farm not let you off the hook, but the county's armed forces department will not let you get away with it!"

Tang Zixuan quickly assured him that he wouldn't disturb him and wanted to leave something for Director Wei.

Aunt Wei didn't bother with any nonsense and just threw the things outside!

Bah! She doesn't have the stomach of steel to digest the gifts from such heartless people!

Tang Zixuan and Bai Yueyao were kicked out, and their faces were quite ugly!

Tang Zixuan, in particular, glared fiercely at Bai Yueyao. He was more trouble than he was worth, and dared to spout nonsense without even finding out the facts, thus implicating him once again!

Honestly, how could he have been so blind to think this woman was even better than Xia Ning!

Tang Zixuan flicked his sleeve and left without looking back.

Bai Yueyao picked up the wine and candy and ran after them with a bouncy gait!

She didn't know the Bai family was in this situation; she thought they were just an ordinary widowed family. Why was Tang Zixuan so angry? She didn't do it on purpose!

At worst, she can go ask around and see if anyone else is willing to rent a place. They can rent from other people, right?

Whether Bai Yueyao was lucky or unlucky, she hadn't gone far with her things when she ran into Granny Wang, who hadn't been able to rent out her house.

Hearing Bai Yueyao muttering about renting a house, Aunt Wang's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to strike up a conversation:

"Bai Zhiqing, you want to rent a house? I have a spare room at home that you can rent!"

She was really sleepy. Just as someone brought her a pillow, Bai Yueyao quickly nodded and said:

"Rent, rent, I'll rent it with Brother Zixuan, this is the rent..."

Aunt Wang was afraid that if she asked for more rent, these two would run away...

"I wonder if these two have any money," Aunt Wang asked tentatively.

"Do you two want to buy a stove and cook for yourselves?"

A stove? Does she think stoves are as common as cabbages, something she can just buy whenever she wants?

Besides, stoves are so expensive, why would they buy them?

Bai Yueyao shook her head and said:

"We don't want to buy a stove, we'd like to eat with your family, what do you think..."
