"I'm not trying to be mean, but your house is such a mess!" Early in the morning, Huang Yanfen sat down in the main room of Bai Dalin's house, with Chen Qiuling beside her, who was making a small garment and had just started working on it.
Huang Yanfen sat inside the house, looking out at the bricks and tiles on the edge of the yard. She felt very envious. Bai Dalin was more capable than Bai Dajiang. Look at his house, it looks brand new, unlike hers, which looked like a dilapidated building. Bai Dajiang and Bai Dalin were the same age, and Bai Dajiang was even stronger than Bai Dalin. How come he couldn't earn as much money as the other?
Looking at Chen Qiuling again, she was making clothes, just starting out. Her hands were tucked into the white gauze, and the exposed palms were as white and smooth as the jade pendant her mother had bought for her when she got married. Her fingers were long and slender, and her nails were pink, like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting. Unlike her, her fingers were short and thick, and her skin was yellow and dark.
Despite being a plump woman, Huang Yanfen was naturally prone to comparison. Looking at Chen Qiuling, she felt both envious and jealous. She kept wondering what would happen if she married Bai Dalin. Would she also be as fair and delicate as Chen Qiuling, living like a wealthy city lady even though she was just a village woman?
"Are you making clothes for the baby? Are you pregnant?" Huang Yanfen asked with certainty after watching for a while.
"Hmm..." Chen Qiuling was taken aback. She had never told anyone in the village about this, but she didn't expect that the fat man had such sharp eyes. He could tell that she was pregnant just from the fact that she was wearing a shirt without any sleeves. "She's just over three months along."
Tsk... Huang Yanfen pursed her lips, feeling rather displeased. This woman is clearly quite old, how come she's still having an affair in her old age?
This topic made Huang Yanfen unhappy, so she stopped talking about it. "What's going on next door? How come it's such a mess?"
Chen Qiuling paused, then realized that Huang Yanfen didn't mean her house was messy; she meant the trouble next door was causing. She put the clothes in her hands on her knees and sighed softly, "Sigh, Bai Nuo and I aren't biological mother and daughter. Although we have the title of mother and daughter, there's always a difference. How am I supposed to discipline her? She doesn't respect me and thinks I'm taking advantage of her mother. Her resentment towards me is getting bigger and bigger, so I just moved out."
Huang Yanfen clicked her tongue, "Only someone with such a good temper like you would have beaten her to death long ago. It wouldn't have been worth it for her to cause trouble." If she were Bai Nuo's biological mother, she would definitely teach Bai Nuo a lesson and make her suffer so that she would never dare to go against her again!
"If you ask me, you should have married Bai Nuo off as soon as possible, and that kid should have been sent out to work as soon as possible. It's not worth keeping them around to eat for free. You made them move out and did it in a proper manner. Isn't that just making people laugh at you? Bai Dalin isn't dead, so why are you dividing the family property? And what about that old geezer? Did he go with him? What are you talking about?"
Hearing her words, Chen Qiuling had a sudden thought. Marrying Bai Nuo off could be a solution. With Bai Nuo gone, the young and the old would all be under her control.
Chen Qiuling secretly agreed with Huang Yanfen's words, but she didn't say it out loud. Instead, she explained, "You saw it the other day. She went out to work. We asked her if she had made any money, but she denied it and said that you hit her and asked us for money to treat her illness."
Huang Yanfen's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly denied it, "I didn't hit her." It was clearly that little brat who hit her, so why was she talking nonsense?
"That's what I was saying!" Chen Qiuling didn't care whether Bai Nuo hit Huang Yanfen or Huang Yanfen hit Bai Nuo. It didn't matter to her who hit whom; she didn't care about that.
“How could you hit her? You’re an elder, you wouldn’t do something like that…” Chen Qiuling continued, echoing Huang Yanfen’s words. “Well, maybe she’s made money while working, or maybe she’s met some rich young master who has given her peace of mind and a way out, so she doesn’t care about me or her father anymore.”
He sighed softly, his face full of sorrow.
"She has a lover?" Huang Yanfen's eyebrows twitched.
Chen Qiuling glanced at her and said, "I didn't mean she has a boyfriend. I meant she might have met some rich young master or something."
To be honest, if Bai Nuo were here, she would really like to tell Chen Qiuling that her guess was spot on. She really did meet a rich young man, and a sickly one at that, but he didn't offer her any help.
Chen Qiuling said this, but Huang Yanfen heard it differently. Huang Yanfen thought that Bai Nuo was young and immoral and had gone out to find a lover, which was why she was able to do such a thing.
Oh dear, this is terrible, she's so young and already looks like this.
