Bai Ruozhen spoke softly out of habit, which didn't sound intimidating to everyone. Moreover, when everyone heard this story, they had an even worse impression of Zhao Lai Di.
Zhao Lai Di's face was pale, she stood there blankly, and suddenly she could not hear anything.
Then she heard Bai Ruozhen say, "Sister Lai Di, I don't want to fight with you. Just apologize to me and we'll be fine from now on." As long as you don't provoke me, I won't teach you a lesson.
Li Aihong and the others looked at Bai Ruozhen and liked her more and more. Look, our Zhenzhen is so generous. Li Aihong said to Zhao Lai Di, "Laidi, you were wrong in the first place. Just apologize to Zhenzhen and it will be over. You can sleep on the same kang from now on."
Zhao Lai Di looked up at Bai Ruozhen. The mockery in the little girl's eyes had long disappeared, and she was smiling beautifully.
"Sister Lai Di, we just arrived. Is it really going to be awkward?" Bai Ruozhen said.
Zhao Lai Di looked at her steadily, her heart slowly calmed down, and then she began to regret. Why couldn't she just be more patient? Why did she have to fall into Bai Ruozhen's trap? Now everyone saw her miserable side. How could she stay like this in the future?
"Yes, Lai Di, it would be bad if things got awkward." Feng Qiujuan also advised her.
However, Zhao Lai Di sneered and pointed at Bai Ruozhen, saying, "You don't deserve to accept my apology. I'm not wrong."
After Zhao Lai Di finished speaking, she took off her shoes, got on the kang, covered her head with the quilt and ignored everyone.
Bai Ruozhen pursed his lips, "Sister Lai Di, can I apologize to you?"
Zhao Lai Di still remained silent.
Bai Ruozhen sniffed and lowered his head, saying, "Perhaps, I shouldn't have said those things. How could my mother have given birth to me so beautiful? It's just making people angry for nothing, and you even accused me of seducing the villagers. If this crime is proven, I will be arrested and paraded through the streets. In the final analysis, it's all my mother's fault for giving birth to me so beautiful. If I were uglier, Sister Lai Di wouldn't have hated me."
She didn't know much about going to the countryside before, but things like being paraded through the streets with signs were not uncommon in the provincial capital. No matter where she heard it from, the original owner knew a lot. Of course, if someone accused her of seducing villagers, then she would be the one to be condemned by everyone.
She didn't want to deal with Zhao Lai Di because she felt that even if people of this era had flaws, they were generally good. People like Zhu Guixia, Feng Qiujuan, and Li Aihong were all very good people. Even Bai Ruoxin's calculations were all open. She was straightforward and showed her thoughts on her face. Her badness was also out in the open. She disdained to fight with Bai Ruoxin like that.
But what about Zhao Lai Di? When she failed to deceive her, she became angry and humiliated and kept finding fault with her.
As a Bodhisattva, can she save all living beings?
No, she never was. Even though she always pretended to be weak and pitiful, she never thought of hurting anyone.
But why should she let others go when they bullied her? Did she feel embarrassed when Zhao Lai Di scolded her, or felt guilty when she picked on her?
She doesn't have anything, so why should she be polite to Zhao Lai Di?
The more she said this, the more people felt that she was right.
Yes, how you look is determined by your parents. Some people are born with good looks, but can you bully them or scold them for having affairs just because they are good-looking?
If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being born into a good family and not finding good-looking parents. It is unreasonable to implicate others.
Zhu Guixia pulled back Zhao Laidi's quilt and said, "Zhao Laidi, don't you need to apologize for doing something wrong?"
Zhao Lai Di cried breathlessly, "I won't apologize. Why should I apologize?"
"I don't want you to apologize." Bai Ruozhen, who was standing aside, suddenly said, "I don't care anymore. To someone you don't care about, it doesn't make any sense to apologize or not. Even if she apologizes now, she will still hate me in her heart. Why bother?" After saying that, Bai Ruozhen also took off his shoes and went to the end of the kang. He spread out the quilt, leaving only his head exposed, and smiled at everyone, "Sister Aihong, you can go back. It's okay."
Li Aihong felt distressed seeing her like this, "Are you really okay?"
"Yeah, it's okay." Bai Ruozhen said with a smile, "Sister Xia and Sister Xiaoqiu will protect me."
Zhu Guixia and Feng Qiujuan's eyes suddenly warmed up when they heard her words, "We will protect you." They looked at Zhao Lai Di meaningfully.
Zhao Lai Di, lying on the kang, felt suffocated and angry.
Li Aihong glanced at them and shook her head with a headache, "You guys take a rest first, we'll go back first."
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhu Guixia, Feng Qiujuan, and the others who had been present, "Don't tell anyone about this."
Although Zhu Guixia was unwilling, she nodded. Everyone else also promised not to tell anyone. If they did, how would Zhao Laidie survive in Xiahe Village?
After everyone else left, Bai Ruozhen fell asleep comfortably in bed.
Gu Changqing returned home in a very happy mood. Qiu Lanying was sitting in the house waiting for him. When she heard him come in, she called out, "Lao Wu, come here."
Gu Changqing threw the shoulder pole into the house and said, "Mom, I want to eat meat buns."
"How is it? Are you chatting with Zhenzhen?" Qiu Lanying asked her son who only cared about eating.
"I watched a play." Gu Changqing took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang. He picked up a peanut from the kang table and ate one. "It was quite interesting."
When Qiu Lanying heard that there was something else, she hurriedly asked, "What happened that I don't know?"
Gu Changqing was playing dumb. "Forget it, I won't tell you. It's boring. Anyway, I don't want to get married right now. I'll tell you when I do. And I want to go to Northeast China in a few days."
"What are you going to the Northeast for?" Qiu Lanying felt a headache when she heard that he was about to leave the hospital. "Don't act like a jerk all day long. One day you'll get yourself into trouble and then you'll be at peace."
