Especially Granny Xu! She's such a snob; even if you practically offer yourself up, she might not appreciate it!
Bai Yajing's lips twitched slightly. It seems that the neighbor understands you best!
She seemed persuaded, somewhat tempted yet hesitant, as she gripped the basket tighter. "But, but my grandma insisted that I deliver it, saying that the children in her family are all grown up and she needs Grandma Xu's help..."
The old woman slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "It's no use looking for her! Her own son and daughter-in-law have kicked her out!"
It's been years! She hasn't come back even once, and her son, daughter-in-law, and daughter haven't visited her either!
Your grandma should give up those thoughts! In the current situation, jobs are incredibly hard to find, and even city kids are being sent to the countryside. Don't make things difficult for her!
These people from the countryside want to come to the city, but the city kids don't have jobs, so there's not enough for the country kids!
As she spoke, she craned her neck to peek into her basket.
"Hey young man, my wife is pregnant and needs extra nutrition. How about I take what's in your basket?"
Even though the deal didn't work out, at least you got the money back, and your grandma won't blame you!
Seeing her drooling look, Bai Yajing wanted to laugh but was afraid of embarrassing her, so she quickly suppressed her laughter.
She seemed to think for a moment, then looked up again and made up her mind.
"Okay! I'll switch to you! But I still want to know where she lives, so that if my grandma insists I deliver it when I get back, I'll know where to deliver it!"
It's normal for her to act like this; she's afraid of being scolded by her elders at home. The old lady didn't suspect anything at all.
She smiled broadly, her face crinkling with wrinkles. "Okay, okay! I'll go get the money! And I'll write it down for you with paper and pen. You wait here!"
The two then happily exchanged items, and the old woman kept telling her a lot about Aunt Xu's current situation.
Now Bai Yajing not only made money but also learned about Aunt Xu's current situation and address, thus completing her mission.
After leaving the courtyard, she found a secluded spot, changed her clothes, and headed straight for Aunt Xu's current residence.
When she arrived, the sun was high in the sky, and she was drenched in sweat from the heat.
This is the suburbs, and the people living here are mostly poor.
She found the small courtyard where Aunt Xu was living, following the address on the note.
The courtyard looks dilapidated from the outside, but it is quiet and would be suitable for retirement if properly maintained.
Moreover, given Bai Zhijun's penniless situation and Xu Jiahui's current impoverished life, it's likely that Aunt Xu was the one who provided the money.
It seems that even though her son and daughter-in-law are unfilial, they still left her enough money.
It was because she was too reckless and made the younger generation in the family uneasy that she ended up like this.
She had just climbed over the wall when she heard voices coming from inside the house.
More than one person.
She listened carefully and immediately understood: the three of them had met up again to chatter about her!
Then I heard people talking inside.
Aunt Xu's old, sharp voice was particularly grating.
"You already saw that little slut last night? Why didn't you just kill her?"
How could you be so useless! Sigh!
She slapped her thigh, wishing she had met Bai Yajing last night.
Bai Zhijun's face was extremely ugly after being scolded by her for half an hour!
"Hmph! Easier said than done! That woman is too powerful; I'm no match for her!"
I still think we need to plan ahead as quickly as possible. We've been working so hard these past few days, but the results haven't been great; we haven't spent enough money!
Xu Jiahui rolled her eyes at the two of them. "Easy for you to say! The Bai family's affairs are not a secret. Everyone knows pretty much what's going on."
The rumors we spread only circulated among a few reckless hooligans; everyone else just laughed them off!
That's what makes the Bai family father and son so formidable!
They planned every step carefully and eliminated all potential problems!
"The old one is a cunning old fox, and the two younger ones are just as cunning! They're really troublesome!"
