Bai Yajing was completely unaware that Qin Xuanyi and the Xu mother and daughter had hired a man to scheme against her.
After returning from the villa, she stayed quietly in the courtyard, playing chess and drinking tea with Old Master Bai.
The next morning, Uncle Bai returned.
"Everything is taken care of. Just wait and see the show in a few days."
Bai Yajing gave him a thumbs up in admiration.
"Fourth Uncle is amazing!"
Bai Laosi raised his hand and rubbed her head. "My Yajing has also worked hard."
He had also heard about her coming to their door to berate Bai Lao Er's family on behalf of the old man.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't moved. As an adopted son, he felt sorry for the old man but couldn't very well go to Bai Lao Er to reason with him. But the little girl was different; she was Bai Lao Er's biological daughter, and it was the most appropriate for her to seek justice for the old man.
Bai Yajing knew what he was talking about, but waved her hand dismissively.
"Fourth Uncle, you've been busy for a day or two, you should take a good rest."
After Bai Laosi finished eating and went back to his room, she also went out.
Now that things were settled, she needed to call her grandparents, otherwise they would be worried.
I also plan to buy some things and send them back to them.
When we arrived at the department store, we went to the counter that specialized in selling clothing and fabrics.
Her maternal grandmother had skillful hands and loved making clothes for her. From childhood to adulthood, apart from the clothes her grandfather sent, everything else was made by her grandmother.
But she and her grandfather's clothes were patched again and again; they couldn't bear to buy new ones. In those days, resources were scarce, and it wasn't easy for rural families to buy a piece of cloth.
Cloth coupons were hard to come by, so when the family had them, they were all saved for her to make clothes and new bedding.
Grandpa also kept some fabrics, furs, and clothes, but those were all made of very fine materials, and he doesn't dare to wear them now.
He looked at the fabrics in the counter and pointed to a bolt of blue floral cotton fabric. "Hello comrade, give me 10 feet of this."
Then he looked at a navy blue horse and said, "This one is too."
That's enough to make a coat for each of her grandparents. If it weren't for the purchase restrictions, she would have liked to buy more.
The sales clerk didn't say much and quickly cut and packed the items for her.
"Hello comrade, it's 7 yuan for two cloth coupons."
Bai Yajing took the money and put it in the basket behind her back, then gave her the money directly.
I went to the watch counter and bought a men's watch for my grandfather, which cost me a watch receipt and 180 yuan.
After thinking about it, I also bought malted milk powder, brown sugar, and some other local specialties from Shanghai.
It's all packed up, time to head straight to the post office.
I bought an envelope and stamps, and wrote down everything that had happened recently. These things couldn't be said on the phone. After writing it down, I sealed it, affixed the stamps, mailed the items and the letter, and then went to the side to queue up to make a phone call.
She waited for about ten minutes before it was finally her turn.
When she called, the team leader answered. Her grandparents were both at work, so she was told to call back in twenty minutes.
Bai Yajing knew that the captain had gone to call for reinforcements.
Fortunately, it was almost noon, and there weren't many people around. After about twenty minutes, everyone had finished their calls and gone home to cook and eat.
When the call connected, I heard my grandparents' anxious voices.
"Is that you, Nannan? Why did it take you so long to call?"
Bai Yajing quickly explained, "Grandpa and Grandma, don't worry, I'm fine. Something just happened at home, and my phone is out of service."
Actually, she was being listened to. Grandpa Bai wouldn't let her call back and cause trouble for her grandparents, otherwise she would have been in trouble.
Upon hearing this, the grandfather's expression immediately tightened, knowing that something must have happened to the Bai family.
