The news that Wang Guifen had run into a ghost and broken her bones spread quickly throughout the village like wings.

The versions became more and more bizarre.

Some said that Wang Guifen was haunted by an old ghost from the Yu family's ancestral tomb.

Some said she was being punished.

Others said they saw a female ghost in white floating on a locust tree and were so scared they dared not go out at night.

Zhou Fengxia and Yu Sheng naturally also heard about this.

The mother and son looked at each other and saw understanding in each other's eyes.

Who else could it be besides Yu Bai?

"This child..." Zhou Fengxia couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Sheng smiled and said, "Mom, don't blame Xiaobai for being reckless. She knows what's going on."

From childhood to adulthood, grandma Wang Guifen not only did not show any love to their family, but instead, like a vampire, she kept looting things from their home.

During festivals, other people’s children have new clothes to wear and candies to eat.

But they, the brothers and sisters, could only wear old clothes with patches on top of patches and watch other children laugh.

For the sake of her children, Zhou Fengxia had to swallow her anger again and again.

In rural areas, no matter how unkind or partial the elderly are, their children must be filial to them. This is the rule left by our ancestors.

She was a woman from a different family and a widow, raising six children in the village. One can imagine the hardships she faced.

Whether it is building a house or farming in the village, there will inevitably be some competition, and Zhou Fengxia is always the one who suffers.

Because she has no husband and no support from her natal family or in-laws, she can only silently endure all the injustices.

In the past, Yu Bai’s grandfather and uncle would occasionally come forward to speak a few words for their family, but that was also earned by Yu Bai’s family’s tolerance and benefits.

After all, in this village, the words of those with the surname Yu carry more weight than those with the surname Zhou.

Now, the six Yu Bai brothers and sisters have grown up. Except for the youngest brother Yu Baoer who is a little autistic, the others can earn money to support the family.

Yu Bai naturally didn't want his mother to suffer any more grievances.

Therefore, this time she made trouble for Wang Guifen not only to make her restrain herself and stop plotting against their family, but also to vent her anger on Zhou Fengxia.

Didn’t Zhou Fengxia understand her daughter’s intentions?

How could she bear to blame her daughter for being cruel and tormenting her grandmother when she took revenge for her?

Zhou Fengxia stroked her rough hands, her eyes slightly red.

As for Yu Sheng and Yunian, it was even more impossible to blame Yu Bai.

Yu Bai just did what they always wanted to do but didn't do.

They even felt secretly happy.

"Xiaobai did a great job this time!" Yu Nian took a big bite of the steamed bun in his hand, his tone full of praise.

Yu Sheng nodded, looked out the window with deep eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

......

However, Yu Bai didn't have the heart to care about the consequences of Wang Guifen's broken leg.

Because Fusu came to find her in the trading space.

Fusu was still wearing a black robe, with his hair tied up with a jade crown. His temperament was as gentle as jade, and there was a hint of vigor between his brows.

Yu Bai was still a little excited when he saw Fusu.

In her past and present lives, she was just an ordinary person, but now she can communicate face to face with the characters in history books. This feeling is really wonderful.

But she hid it well, with just the right amount of enthusiasm on her face.

"Master Fusu, is there anything you need today?" Yu Bai took a few steps forward, speaking in a cheerful tone.

Fusu was also quite pleased with Yu Bai's enthusiasm.

He was introverted by nature and not good at speaking, and Yu Bai's initiative just made up for his shortcomings and made him feel relaxed and comfortable.

"Miss Yu." Fusu bowed and responded in a gentle voice.

Yu Bai welcomed Fusu to the osmanthus tree, where there was a small stone table and two stone benches.

She wanted to make tea for the guests, but her tea-making skills were not very good, so she simply took out juice and watermelon.

"Mr. Fusu, we don't have anything good to offer you in this rural area. Please just try it." Yu Bai placed the cut watermelon and juice on the table.

Fusu looked at the brightly colored juice and the red flesh and black seeds of the watermelon, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

He had never seen fruit like it, let alone tasted it.

"What is this?" he asked, pointing at the watermelon, with a rare hint of childishness in his tone.

"This is watermelon, a very sweet fruit." Yu Bai picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to Fusu, "Try it."

Under Yu Bai's persuasion, Fusu tried to take a bite of the watermelon.

The sweet juice instantly burst in his mouth, and a sweet taste he had never experienced before made his eyes light up.

"tasty!"

He praised it sincerely, ate several more pieces in succession, and even drank the juice in one gulp.

Seeing Fusu eating with gusto, Yu Bai felt a little proud.

Although her family is not rich, she is a modern person after all and has experienced all kinds of delicious food.

Being able to use these things to amaze an ancient gentleman is also a different kind of sense of accomplishment.

Fusu was so immersed in the enjoyment of the food that he forgot the purpose of his trip for a moment.

It was not until he finished the last piece of watermelon that he suddenly remembered that he came to Yu Bai to exchange for crystal cores.

"Oh, my apologies." Fusu's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he bowed to Yu Bai, "I almost forgot the important matter."

Yu Bai smiled slightly and understood.

The "important matter" that Fusu mentioned was naturally the elixir of immortality - that is, the crystal core.

"Mr. Fusu, are you here for the crystal core?" Yu Bai asked straight to the point.

Fusu nodded, his tone tinged with excitement: "Exactly! Miss Yu, this elixir of immortality... the effect is truly amazing."
