They didn't have that much of a conflict with Jiang Bai. It was just that after her mother disappeared, they took things from her house, but they returned them all later.
The idea of selling the sisters wasn't even from their second wife's side.
He believed that as long as they showed sincerity, they would surely be able to move Jiang Bai.
With that in mind, he worked really hard.
Even after Jiang Bai climbed the mountain, he still glanced this way.
The five acres of wasteland are gradually decreasing, and the grass roots in the field have been turned up and piled up to one side.
Jiang Bai was busy on Pingshan Mountain, sometimes digging up yams, sometimes finding other things, and carrying some grain home on his back.
