Chapter 35 There Will Be No Good Ending
As Bai Xiaowei expected, Zhang Baozhu was able to keep a close eye on them at the beginning.
But before long, the little girl couldn't stand the smell anymore and ran away quickly, just staring at them from a distance.
Bai Xiaowei smiled and said to Xie Lanqin, "Your sister has really been spoiled by your second brother's wife. Look at the way she talks to the elders. She has no manners at all. How can she get married in the future?"
Xie Lanqin, who had just finished using the toilet, felt much more relaxed and her stomachache was gone.
After hearing what Bai Xiaowei said, she did not refute or respond. She actually felt that her niece was too arrogant.
Bai Xiaowei then added: "It's really strange. This girl looks very ordinary, just like an ordinary country girl. Why does she have such a bad temper?"
Xie Lanqin glanced at Zhang Baozhu in the distance and knew in her heart that all this was the result of Zhao Chunhua's excessive doting on her.
When Zhang Baozhu was at home, Zhao Chunhua was particularly kind to her and almost obeyed her in everything, which led to her current personality.
But during this period, Zhao Chunhua paid less attention to Zhang Baozhu, but became particularly concerned about herself, even better than she was to Zhang Baozhu.
Therefore, there was often a hint of jealousy in Zhang Baozhu's eyes when she looked at herself.
Seeing that Xie Lanqin remained silent, Bai Xiaowei did not give up.
While walking back, he approached Xie Lanqin when no one was paying attention and whispered in her ear: "I know why my second brother's wife has been so nice to you recently. Do you want to know the reason behind it?"
After hearing this, Xie Lanqin stopped.
Bai Xiaowei immediately realized that the other party was interested, and quickly pulled Xie Lanqin to hide behind the bushes nearby. She said in a low voice: "The Luoshan area is ahead. I heard that there are several villages over there that eat people!"
"A cannibalistic village?" Xie Lanqin asked with a frown. She had never known there was such a place.
“That’s right!”
Bai Xiaowei pretended to be horrified and said, "Because of the three consecutive years of drought, the villagers couldn't find food to fill their stomachs, so they just exchanged children with each other and ate them. After eating the children, they ate adults and the elderly!"
After hearing these horrifying things, Xie Lanqin was so frightened that she was speechless for a while.
But she still had doubts: "Aunt, where did you hear this news? Could it be fake news? If it were true, the villagers would have known about it long ago."
"How could I lie to you? I heard it from Hu Zi's wife. She said that when Hu Zi went to the toilet that night, he overheard the village cadres talking about this matter. They didn't tell anyone in order to avoid causing panic." Bai Xiaowei made up a story.
After hearing this explanation, Xie Lanqin became even more confused: "Then why did you insist on telling me this?"
"I told you because I was worried you might get hurt."
As she spoke, Bai Xiaowei held Xie Lanqin's hand, gently patted the back of her hand and said to her in comfort, "If your mother-in-law knew about this, it might not be good for you."
Hearing this, Xie Lanqin immediately pulled her hand back, her face becoming very serious: "Aunt, you can't just say such things casually. My mother treats me very well! Last time you said that my mother is partial, but my mother told me in person that she would raise a boy or a girl well, and taught me not to have gender biased ideas."
Bai Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, but soon recovered and continued to insist on her statement: "I am really not talking nonsense. The main targets of those cannibalistic villages are children and women! And it is said that they not only eat children, but also kidnap other people's children and sell them to the rich in the city as food or slaves. Especially newborn babies can be sold at a high price!"
Xie Lanqin was even more puzzled: "Why did they buy the child? What does this have to do with my mother?"
Bai Xiaowei pulled Xie Lanqin aside and said, "I heard that the rich people heard that the people in the village love to eat children, and they became greedy and bought children to stew and eat!"
Bai Xiaowei stretched out four fingers and said, "I heard from others that a newborn baby can have four fingers.
Ten kilograms of brown rice! Do you think Second Aunt will be tempted?"
"Is it true?" Xie Lanqin's heart was beating fast and she subconsciously protected her stomach.
But she still didn't want to believe Bai Xiaowei's words, and said, "Aunt, don't joke. My mother is not that kind of person. Besides, the baby in her belly is her grandson."
Bai Xiaowei snorted and said, "You can only look at the surface of a person, not his heart. After all, your child is just her grandson, not her own, how much affection can she have? Besides, in today's world, how can a baby be more valuable than 40 kilograms of brown rice?"
"That's 40 kilograms of brown rice!" Bai Xiaowei emphasized.
Seeing Xie Lanqin frowning, Bai Xiaowei clapped her hands again and pretended to understand something and said, "I understand! Second Aunt has been so nice to you these days, is it just to make your child fatter?"
"I also heard that the sale of children is calculated by weight. The heavier the child, the higher the price!"
This sentence made Xie Lanqin completely collapse.
She shook off Bai Xiaowei's hand and said, "Aunt, stop talking nonsense. I haven't heard anything like this today. I have to go back now."
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Zhang Baozhu saw Xie Lanqin coming back with a pale face, and hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Did that auntie bully you?"
"Don't be afraid, I'll tell mom and let her help you vent your anger!"
Xie Lanqin shook her head: "No, I just feel sick to my stomach. I have diarrhea and I am exhausted. I just need to rest for a while."
"Okay." Zhang Baozhu helped Xie Lanqin go back first.
Bai Xiaowei walked behind with a smug smile on her face. This time she was going to mess up this family!
On the way home, Xie Lanqin was worriedly thinking about what Bai Xiaowei had just said.
Yes, when she was at home, did her mother-in-law ever think of giving her something delicious?
But since she fled, her mother-in-law has been surprisingly good to her. Not only does she make sure she has enough meals to eat every day, she also doesn't let her work and she even uses the only thick quilt she has.
How can a person suddenly change so much?
Could it be true, as Bai Xiaowei said, that she wanted to fatten the baby in her belly and then sell it at a high price?
When the three of them just returned home, they happened to meet Zhao Chunhua who had just returned from the mountains.
Bai Xiaowei, who was feeling proud of her previous plan to sow discord, smiled deliberately when she saw Zhao Chunhua and said, "Hey, second sister-in-law, what treasure did you go up the mountain to look for again? Having such a diligent mother-in-law as an elder is really a good result of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds!"
Xie Lanqin was startled and looked up at Zhao Chunhua.
Zhao Chunhua knew that Bai Xiaowei had no good intentions, so she didn't indulge her and said, "Why do I feel like there's a smell of jealousy in the air? It turns out that some people don't have any real skills in their stomachs, and as soon as they open their mouths, they pour out all their jealous words!"
