Bai Jingjing waved her hands, wanting to say no, but Mrs. Zhang stopped her and said, "Jingjing, you bought some dry food again. It's not good to eat dry food all the time. Your body won't be able to bear it for a long time. I'll bring you a bowl later."
Bai Jingjing, who was holding the bun in her hand, paused but did not refuse.
Because she didn't have enough money, she mostly ate whole-grain steamed buns these days. Occasionally, she went to Bai Hao's school, and Bai Hao bought her some vegetables.
When she was at home before, she would get hurt just by drinking porridge, but after not having porridge for so long, she actually felt like drinking it.
She had just been scolded by her brother, and now she was immediately moved when she saw a stranger being so enthusiastic towards her.
"Thank you, Auntie." Bai Jingjing did not refuse Mrs. Zhang's kindness.
The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face immediately brightened, as if delivering food to Bai Jingjing was a very happy thing.
Bai Jingjing returned to her own room and immediately took out a bun and started eating it. The rich aroma of meat soon filled the entire room. After she finished one, she quickly ate the second one.
Even when I was at home, I couldn’t eat meat buns like this whenever I wanted. Every time I bought meat and put a lot of vegetables in it, but in the end each person could only eat one.
Bai Jingjing became even more determined to stay in the capital, as life in the capital was the right life for human beings.
She was lost in thought and chewed a little slowly, almost choking. She coughed, the door opened, and Zhang Laosan appeared at the door with a bowl of soup.
Zhang Laosan was a little hesitant at first, but when he saw Bai Jingjing coughing, he immediately stepped forward and fed the soup in his hand into Bai Jingjing's mouth.
Bai Jingjing was feeling uncomfortable and swallowed the soup involuntarily.
It wasn't until she was almost done drinking it that she noticed there were eggs in the soup.
"Auntie actually made egg soup for me. She's such a nice person." Bai Jingjing praised.
"Our family is well off and we can eat two eggs every week." Zhang Laosan's words showed obvious pride.
Bai Jingjing then looked at Zhang Laosan next to her, frowned, and the emotion she had just felt faded away.
You can only eat one egg every three or four days. What is there to be proud of?
"Thank you for the egg soup. You can go back now." Bai Jingjing said to Zhang Laosan expressionlessly.
Zhang Laosan hesitated and walked out reluctantly, as if he wanted Bai Jingjing to keep him.
But what kind of person is Bai Jingjing? How could she possibly like Zhang Laosan? She didn't even look at Zhang Laosan and even urged him to leave.
She didn’t know if it was because she was angry with Bai Hao just now, but now she felt a little dizzy. She touched her forehead. Did she have a fever?
Zhang Laosan saw Bai Jingjing's actions and walked back, asking in a muffled voice, "What's wrong with you?"
As he spoke, he placed his hand on Bai Jingjing's forehead.
Bai Jingjing originally wanted to scold him, but the cold hand relieved her headache and brought her a comfortable feeling, so she didn't say anything and even moved her face closer.
Zhang Laosan immediately touched her face and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? I have some medicine at home. Do you want me to take you to get some?"
Bai Jingjing's mind cleared up for a moment. Yes, she should take medicine. She took Zhang Laosan's hand and said softly, "Take me to get the medicine."
Zhang Laosan put his hand on Bai Jingjing's shoulder and helped her up.
Bai Jingjing was taller than Zhang Laosan, but now she was completely powerless. She leaned her head on Zhang Laosan's shoulder, and her breath sprayed on Zhang Laosan's neck, causing him to stagger.
The two of them walked two steps, and Zhang Laosan turned back and took back the bowl he had just brought.
The two of them left Bai Jingjing's house and went straight into Zhang's house.
When Mrs. Zhang saw Zhang Laosan bringing Bai Jingjing back, she immediately stepped forward and stood in front of them: "What's wrong? Is Jingjing feeling unwell?"
"Mom, Jingjing said she felt a little dizzy." Zhang Laosan put his arm around Bai Jingjing's waist, and Bai Jingjing had completely leaned on Zhang Laosan.
"Did you not sleep well last night?" Mrs. Zhang said this with no intention of taking a step forward.
"There's still some soup I made. I'll go get Jingjing a bowl and let her drink it and take a nap at our house. The weather is still cold now, and it's hard for a girl to live alone."
After saying this, Mrs. Zhang turned around to serve the soup, while Zhang Laosan carried Bai Jingjing into the inner room.
Soon, Mrs. Zhang brought in a bowl of soup and handed it to Zhang Laosan.
"Third brother, ask Jingjing if she can still drink the soup now?"
Zhang Laosan first hugged Bai Jingjing up from the bed, and with his other hand holding a bowl, he asked her, "Jingjing, have some more egg soup."
Bai Jingjing was feeling uncomfortable and didn't want to drink it at first, but when she heard about the egg soup and saw the eggs in the bowl, she nodded slightly, and took the help of Zhang Laosan's hand and drank the egg soup.
After drinking the soup, there was a little egg crumbs on the corner of her mouth. Zhang Laosan reached out and put the egg crumbs into her mouth, and Bai Jingjing even licked it with her tongue.
"Laosan, go and have a bowl of egg soup too." Mrs. Zhang urged Zhang Laosan to go out.
Zhang Laosan swallowed and walked out.
Bai Jingjing felt dizzy, uncomfortable and hot, so she took off her cotton jacket.
When Zhang Laosan came back, his eyes were red.
Mrs. Zhang pushed Zhang Laosan and walked out to close the door.
While cooking dinner, a woman's scream suddenly came from Zhang's house, startling everyone who was washing clothes and cooking in the yard.
Mrs. Zhang immediately returned to the house with the prepared two-layer dough pancake.
In the room, Bai Jingjing was going crazy. Zhang Laosan covered her mouth and she couldn't speak. She was in Zhang Laosan's arms, and it seemed that she hit something during the collision. The madness in her eyes became even more intense.
"What are you yelling about!" Mrs. Zhang walked into the room and growled in a low voice.
"There are a whole yard of people outside, let them come in and take a look." Mrs. Zhang said to Zhang Lao San, "Lao San, why are you covering Jingjing's mouth? This is something you two agreed to."
Zhang Laosan hesitated and put his hand down, but Bai Jingjing was about to continue shouting.
"Jingjing, you are a grown-up girl. If you shout now, I'm afraid that everyone in the yard will come in to see what's happening." Mrs. Zhang said quickly.
Bai Jingjing's cry was stuck in her throat and she didn't shout it out, but her tears flowed down. Why, why did it happen like this.
"Jingjing, look, you and the third brother have already gotten together. You will be a member of our Zhang family from now on. We in the Zhang family are not the kind of people who mistreat their daughters-in-law. Don't worry, the third brother will definitely treat you well in the future."
After she said this, she gave Zhang Laosan a look.
Zhang Laosan also said, "Jingjing, don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Bai Jingjing cried and shook her head. She didn't want to do it. She didn't want to marry Zhang Laosan because she was the eldest daughter of the Bai family.
After crying for a while, she finally came to her senses and glared at Mrs. Zhang: "It was you, you schemed against me."
