From then on, Baogen cut a basket of grass every day and delivered it to Xu Lanzhi's house.

Most of the time, he would drop the grass and run away, afraid that Zhao Di and the other sisters would stop him.

Until one day, Jiedi stopped him and asked with a smile, "Brother Baogen, why are you running so fast? Is your rabbit alright?"

When Baogen heard Jiedi mention rabbits, he hesitated for a moment and then stopped. He said hesitantly, "I don't believe you would help me?"

Jiedi's smile widened: "I bet those two rabbits have already started having diarrhea, right?"

Baogen looked at Jiedi in surprise and asked, "How did you know what you did to those two rabbits?"

Jiedi looked completely unconcerned: "I didn't do anything, but I know that if this continues, they'll probably die soon."

Baogen was anxious. Regardless of whether he made money or not, if the rabbit died, how would he compensate Xu Lanzhi?

"What should we do then?" Baogen asked anxiously.

Jiedi still smiled innocently: "That's because there's something wrong with the grass you're feeding the rabbits."

Baogen was still completely confused. Jiedi discovered that Baogen went to cut grass early every morning, and the grass was covered with dew. Rabbits would easily get sick if they ate grass with dew on it.

So she always dried the hay that Baogen brought before feeding it to the rabbits.

Actually, she had wanted to tell Baogen this for a long time, but Baogen would slip away as soon as he put down the grass, and she couldn't catch him.

Jiedi had planned to wait and see, thinking that if something went wrong, Baogen would eventually speak up. But she didn't expect that the stubborn boy would continue like this for five days in a row.

Jiedi finally couldn't hold back any longer, after all, those two breeding rabbits belonged to her family.

After Jiedi explained, Baogen finally understood that there was such a trick to raising rabbits; he had always thought that as long as they were fed, that would be enough.

He suddenly realized and said, "I see, thank you, Jiedi, I'll go back and dry the hay now!"

Jiedi nodded like a little adult and said, "Brother Baogen, there's some skill involved in raising rabbits. How about we go cut grass together sometime, and I'll teach you everything I know!"

Baogen nodded silently. He thought Jiedi was cute, but why did President Liang say she was a tomboy?

Once Baogen found out why the rabbits had diarrhea, he ran back like the wind; he needed to quickly change their hay.

As soon as he got home, his mother, Cuixi, was waiting for him with a furious expression, and he was holding a rabbit in his hand.

"Mom, be gentle, don't hurt the rabbit," Baogen said nervously.

Cui Xi cursed loudly, "You little brat, I was wondering why you disappeared every morning. Turns out you went to cut grass for Xu Lanzhi's family. Have you forgotten how she bullied me?"

Baogen retorted, "That's because you were the one who spoke ill of Aunt Xu first."

Baogen, who never talked back to her, actually spoke up for Xu Lanzhi. Cui Xi was so angry that her teeth were chattering: "You ungrateful little brat, what benefits has Xu Lanzhi given you? Have you even forgotten who your mother is?"

"It must be these rabbits that caused this trouble. Xu Lanzhi bribed you with these rabbits, didn't she? I'll kill both of them right now!"

As Cui Xi spoke, she threw the rabbit in her hand heavily to the ground, and then went to catch the one in the cage.

When Baogen saw his beloved rabbit being thrown to the ground by his mother, he rushed over like a madman, snatched the rabbit from Cuixi's hands, picked up the dying rabbit on the ground, and left without looking back.

Cui Xi panicked and shouted after him, "You little brat, where are you going? Stop right there!"

Baogen ran ahead like a madman, and Cuixi couldn't catch up. She cursed from behind, "You've gone bad in just a few days! You don't even listen to your mother anymore. If you're so capable, then never come back."

Baogen ran and cried. He felt terrible. Why didn't his mother support him no matter what he did?

Why is it that the mother of the younger sisters is always so kind and smiling?

He kept running and running, but he didn't know where he was going.

He finally stopped. Not far away was X Jiedi's house.

Everything in that dilapidated courtyard was what he longed for: his loving grandmother, his gentle mother, and his loving sisters.

But when he saw the dying rabbit in his hand, he couldn't move his feet anymore.

The rabbit that Aunt Xu lent him got into trouble, and he was too ashamed to go to Jiedi's house anymore.

But he didn't want to go back. In the past, no matter how much Cuixi beat or scolded him, he never complained. But this time, Baogen was completely enraged.

He carried the rabbit and resolutely went into the mountains; he never wanted to go home again.

Cui Xi was furious. Bao Gen had always been an obedient child, but recently he had been bewitched by Xu Lanzhi's family and kept clamoring to raise rabbits.

He thought that a good scolding would put an end to his idea, but today he discovered that his son had built a rabbit hutch behind the house, and it looked like he had been raising rabbits for more than just a day or two.

Cuixi's husband died early, leaving her to raise her son alone. Baogen is her life.

She simply couldn't accept that Baogen and Xu Lanzhi's family were getting too close, especially since Xu Lanzhi had humiliated her in front of the whole village.

Moreover, she really looked down on Xu Lanzhi. Her husband had only been away for a year, yet he had already hooked up with several rich men. Even though they lived a better life, the money he made was not clean.

Cui Xi was furious and wanted to give Bao Gen a good scolding when he came back.

But she waited until dark without seeing Baogen. She started to panic, but she thought to herself that he would come back when he got hungry.

Cui Xi waited until the lanterns were lit, but Bao Gen still hadn't returned, so she hurried to look for him.

She figured Baogen must have gone to Xu Lanzhi's house, and because she was worried, Baogen had no choice but to go to Xu Lanzhi's house with a forced smile.

Just then, Wang and Xu Lanzhi finished making the children's clothes, and the children were happily trying them on.

Inside, there was laughter and chatter, making it quite lively. Cui Xi, listening from the doorway, felt rather uneasy.

While she was still hesitating whether to knock on the door, Snow White started barking wildly.

Xu Lanzhi stood in the courtyard and asked, "Who's outside?"

Cui Xi said softly, "It's me, Cui Xi. I've come to take Bao Gen home."

When Xu Lanzhi heard that Cuixi had come looking for Baogen, she quickly opened the door and asked, "Cuixi, what happened to Baogen? He's not here!"

When Cui Xi looked up, she saw that all the girls in Xu Lanzhi's family were wearing brand new floral clothes, and even Wang Shi was dressed in new clothes from head to toe.

She muttered to herself, "No wonder Baogen doesn't want to go home; he thinks my family is too poor!"

Xu Lanzhi said coldly, "Stop being sarcastic. Baogen isn't here. What happened? It's so late, where could he have gone?"

When Jiedi heard that Cuixi had come to see Baogen, she went up to her and said, "Maybe Brother Baogen is taking care of the rabbits behind your house. He treasures those two rabbits very much."

When Cuixi heard Jiedi mention rabbits, she felt uneasy and stammered, "Baogen took the rabbits and left!"
