Chapter 71 Mermaid Baby Takes in a Mermaid



Hearing Baili Wanwan's words was truly earth-shattering and deeply moving.

Zhang Xiu felt the same way; her heart was filled with tenderness.

"Go to school obediently today, learn more knowledge, and don't think about skipping school again."

Zhang Xiu then brought out a newly made pair of embroidered shoes for Baili Wanwan to change into.

As the weather gradually turns colder and chills permeate the air, wearing thin shoes and socks would be rather shabby.

The shoes were embroidered with peach blossoms, and the thread used was gold.

Baili Wanwan looked down and stamped her foot, finding that the shoes were the perfect size and extremely comfortable to wear.

"My aunt is so good to me." Baili Wanwan hugged Zhang Xiu's arm, her face full of satisfaction.

"Wanwan will definitely listen to you and try her best not to doze off in class!"

Baili Wanwan raised her hand as if making an oath, and then followed Zhang Xiu out of the house.

Upon entering the courtyard, one could hear everyone gasping.

Baili Wanwan's appearance today truly shocked everyone.

Wan Yuekui was curious about the red rouge on her face.

Ultimately, he was a child who grew up in the village, and being a teenager, he naturally didn't understand these things.

"Has Wanwan caught a cold? Why is her face so red?"

As he spoke, he cleared his throat, covered his mouth somewhat awkwardly, and finally couldn't help but tease, "Actually, it looks a lot like the wild monkey that Awang keeps at the entrance of our village."

Baili Wanwan was naturally unhappy about being called a wild monkey.

Although she had never seen a monkey in person, she had heard people describe it.

Monkeys aren't good-looking!

She is clearly very beautiful, yet people are saying such things about her...

She pouted, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Who is bullying her?"

A heavenly sound drifted from afar, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that the sound arrived before the person.

A rustling sound came from the haystack in the yard, and Zhang Xiu hurriedly picked up a shovel next to the earthen wall.

"Wanwan is hiding behind me. I wonder if her house has been burgled? Judging from her voice, it seems to be a female thief."

This area is not peaceful, because bandits roam the world. In chaotic times, they will not rob the rich to help the poor as depicted in plays; instead, they will prey on the poor.

After all, wealthy families always keep their homes well-guarded, making it difficult for thieves to break in.

Today, neither Wan Suizhou nor Wan Kongshan were at home; they went to the school early to prepare.

Only Zhang Xiu and her three half-grown children remained at home.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Baili Wanwan didn't know how to explain.

She knew the owner of that voice, of course.

However, if she said it directly, she was afraid it would upset Zhang Xiu.

Wanwan was very anxious and hurried until Lan Xuerong walked out of the haystack by herself.

She walked at a leisurely pace, and it was unclear when she had covered her face with a half-veil, but her long, captivating eyes were still visible.

Zhang Xiu's hand, gripping the iron shovel, began to tremble.

"Who are you? My family is penniless and has three children to support. Don't even think about getting anything out of this place."

Lan Xuerong was not afraid of the iron shovel at all. She waved to Baili Wanwan and said, "Come here."

Baili Wanwan was about to cry.

What did she do to deserve this? She's really caught in the middle.

Her closest person was naturally Zhang Xiu, but she was also the one who caused Lan Xuerong to lose her memory...

“Auntie, this lady isn’t a bad person. Last night, when Wanwan went to the toilet, she heard a noise outside the door. When she opened the door, she found this lady unconscious outside. Fearing something might happen to her, she helped her into the house…”

Baili Wanwan didn't finish her sentence because she had lost her confidence.

She carefully observed Zhang Xiu's expression, "Wanwan just feels sorry for her sister..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the woman in front of him was of unknown origin, and judging from her clothes and appearance, she must be rich and noble.

People like that are not to be trifled with.

But not wanting Baili Wanwan's good intentions to be denied, Zhang Xiu said, "Wanwan did the right thing. When others encounter difficulties, we should extend a helping hand to them like you do."

Was I praised?

Baili Wanwan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if they held a million stars, and she almost jumped up in excitement.

"This older sister doesn't seem to remember who she is for the time being, so Wanwan wants to take her in for two days."

Zhang Xiu was kind-hearted, and although his doubts remained, he still agreed to let Lan Xuerong stay.

But what happened next made her extremely regretful.

From the start of breakfast, Lan Xuerong followed Baili Wanwan closely, truly staying by her side every step of the way.

Even when going to school, they would still follow.

However, the appearance of a beauty of Lan Xuerong's age in the school excited the hot-blooded young men.

They all discussed who this suddenly appearing beauty was.

This has seriously disrupted classroom order!

Wan Suizhou was unwilling, so he secretly sought out Baili Wanwan.

Just then, Lan Xuerong also came over.

“This is a school, not a game. I can understand why you see Wanwan as your only support, but that doesn’t mean you can disrupt the class at will.”

Lan Xuerong's face was full of innocence, and her feigned innocence was exactly the same as Baili Wanwan's.

She tilted her head, her tone tinged with helplessness: "But apart from following Wanwan, I don't know where else to go."

Now, Wan Suizhou was completely at a loss. In the end, he asked Lan Xuerong to wait outside the school. However, every time the children rested, she would go to Baili Wanwan's side again.

Now, Baili Wanwan has completely transformed from the former leader of the children into a fairy in everyone's eyes.

He Yong from the neighboring village had already recovered, and he himself never missed the opportunity to learn new knowledge.

For the villagers who want to get ahead, there are only two paths to take.

The first was a good opportunity to go into business, which made him extremely wealthy.

The rich will always be rich, but the poorest people need tremendous ability to climb up the social ladder.

The second path is through reading.

With the opportunity to study, one might have a chance to go to high school—

His path to promotion will come one day.

He Yong has been resilient since childhood, and he is unwilling to be as humble as his parents.

Therefore, he wanted to become someone unattainable in everyone's eyes.

But right now, the most important thing is to please Baili Wanwan.

After all, Baili Wanwan not only saved his life, but was also the most popular girl in the school.

Pushing through the crowd, He Yong walked straight to Baili Wanwan.

His face was flushed, as if he were drunk, which also gave him a more mature look.

He Yong scratched his head, and his words were slightly stuttered.

"Bai Li Wanwan, I have something to tell you."
