Bai Family Old House

Zhang Cuiyan held a piece of paper in her hand, staring at the antique and elegant red lacquered gate in front of her, carefully checking the door number.

Bai Xinrou, standing to the side, looked into the room with a face full of envy.

This is the courtyard house in Beijing, where land is incredibly valuable. I've heard that owning a courtyard house within the Second Ring Road of Beijing means you're either very rich or very powerful, and even a dilapidated courtyard house can fetch hundreds of millions of yuan.

This enormous mansion in front of me must be worth hundreds of millions, right?

The thought that Bai Qianmo was born into such a wealthy family stirred up Bai Xinrou's jealousy and resentment towards her fate once again.

The wild girl who was often bullied by her as a child, wore her hand-me-downs, slept in the woodshed, and was treated like a maid by her, has suddenly transformed into a wealthy young lady from a powerful family.

This disparity led Bai Xinrou to develop a distorted idea.

"This is the place, let's go." After checking the house number, Zhang Cuiyan grinned and started walking towards the Bai family's old house.

At that moment, Aunt Zhang was sweeping the yard when she saw two strangers suddenly barge in, and she curiously went over to them.

Who are you two looking for?

"This must be the Bai family, right?"

"It's the Bai family. And you two are?" While speaking, Aunt Zhang glanced at Zhang Cuiyan and Bai Xinrou.

Aunt Zhang was also from the countryside, and she guessed who Zhang Cuiyan and Bai Xinrou were just by looking at their clothes.

However, the Bai family has lived in the capital for generations, and the old man has never mentioned having any relatives from the countryside.

Just as I was wondering, Zhang Cuiyan introduced herself.

"I am Bai Qianmo's adoptive mother, and this is her eldest sister. We have come to the capital to visit her."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang immediately understood.

Isn't Miss Qianmo's adoptive mother the same as Bai Xiruo's biological mother?

What is she doing in the capital now?

The politeness on Aunt Zhang's face vanished instantly, and she stared at Zhang Cuiyan with an unfriendly expression: "Miss Qianmo doesn't live here."

"Not living here? Where did she live then?"

Aunt Zhang lowered her head and continued sweeping her yard, casually replying.

"I'm just the family's nanny, so I don't know much about it."

Bai Xinrou felt very uncomfortable seeing that Aunt Zhang was unwilling to talk to them.

"We are, after all, relatives of Qianmo, and we came all the way from another province to see her. Is this how your Bai family treats its guests?"

Aunt Zhang's hand holding the broom suddenly paused, and she looked up at Bai Xinrou.

"Old Bai has gone out for a walk. The master and mistress haven't gotten up yet, and Miss Qianmo doesn't live here. I'm just a maid who does odd jobs. I'm sorry, I really can't entertain you."

Zhang Cuiyan's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

"What kind of talk is that? Just because we're from the countryside, you look down on us? How dare you, a servant in this household, act like this? To put it bluntly, aren't you just a dog kept by the Bai family?"

splash

Aunt Zhang swept away a pile of fallen leaves in front of her, aiming them directly at Zhang Cuiyan and Bai Xinrou.

"Even if I am a dog of the Bai family, it has nothing to do with you. Hmph, if I remember correctly, you are Bai Xiruo's biological mother, right? You don't even go to the capital to see your daughter in prison, but come to the Bai family to disgust whoever you are?"

Zhang Cuiyan took a deep breath, her face turning ashen with anger.

"What are you saying, you old hag? Xi Ruo is my daughter, that's true, and Qian Mo is the daughter I've raised for twenty years. Can't I come to see her?"

"Raised for twenty years? You really have the nerve to say that." Aunt Zhang sneered.

Zhang Cuiyan couldn't stand being mocked and ridiculed, so she rolled up her sleeves and pounced on Zhang Sao.

"You old hag, you snobbish bastard, I'll teach you a lesson today."

Aunt Zhang never expected Zhang Cuiyan to be so domineering. Before she could react, Zhang Cuiyan tackled her to the ground.

A sharp pain shot through her face, and Zhang Sao cried out in alarm as she saw Zhang Cuiyan's sharp fingernails scraping her face.

"Ah, you shrew." Aunt Zhang had been working in the city for years, and her personality wasn't as domineering as Zhang Cuiyan's.

The two women wrestled, and the feisty Zhang Cuiyan quickly gained the upper hand.

Zhang Cuiyan had removed the zipper from Zhang Sao's cotton-padded coat, her hair was pulled into a mess, and there were two bright red scratch marks on her face. She looked utterly disheveled.

The commotion in the front yard startled Bai Kangcheng, Xu Hualan, and Bai Yitang, and the three of them ran out in their pajamas.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Kangcheng shouted and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Zhang Cuiyan away.

Who are you?

Zhang Cuiyan glared fiercely at Bai Kangcheng with a fierce expression.

"And who are you?"

Xu Hualan walked up to Zhang Sao and helped her up.

Seeing the bloodstains all over Zhang's face, Xu Hualan frowned and turned to look at Zhang Cuiyan.

"You are Qianmo's adoptive mother, aren't you?"

Song Zhenzhen had interviewed Zhang Cuiyan in the countryside where Qianmo lived last time. She had seen the video and had some impression of the woman.

"That's right, it's me. Your Bai family is too arrogant just because you have a little money. Even your dog is so cocky. I wonder how much the owner looks down on people."

Bai Kangcheng frowned. He saw that Zhang Sao's face was covered in injuries, while Zhang Cuiyan was unharmed and looked like a shrew. She didn't look like she had been bullied at all.

“Everyone in my family is reasonable. Aunt Zhang has never argued with anyone before. I don’t know what she did to offend you today?”

Zhang Cuiyan sneered: "I've come all this way to see my daughter. It seems I'm in your way. If you're not welcome, you can just say so. Why have a nanny blocking the door and making you feel disgusted?"
