Chapter 37 Bai Zilin Returns to the Bai Family
Bai Zilin said expressionlessly, "Thank you for your kindness, Village Chief Zhao, but we prefer to walk by ourselves and don't like a lot of people chattering and making our ears uncomfortable!"
Village Chief Zhao gave an awkward laugh and winked at Bai Shuisheng, "You son of a bitch, say something!"
Bai Shuisheng teased Bai Wangshi again, and Bai Wangshi, receiving the signal, immediately knelt down at Bai Zilin's feet, tears streaming down her face before she could even speak: "Zilin, my darling, your leg is really healed! I wasn't dreaming, was I? I kept dreaming that your leg was healed, and I was so happy when I woke up. I quickly knelt down and prayed to the Bodhisattva, begging the Bodhisattva to bless your leg so that it would really be healed. I never thought your leg would really be healed, Zilin, the Bodhisattva must have seen my sincerity, alright, alright, ba ba ba..." (ω) Hey
Liu Ye rolled her eyes in exasperation, thinking to herself, "You're quite good at picking up bargains. It was me who healed Bai Zilin's leg, what does it have to do with you!"
Bai Wangshi wiped away her tears, then sobbed, "Zilin, you are my own flesh and blood. What mother doesn't love her child? Please don't blame me. I apologize. I was wrong, sob sob sob. It's all my fault. I was too stingy to pay for your leg treatment and even kicked you out of the house. It's all my fault. Don't blame your father. It's all my fault... sob sob sob sob!"
Seeing that the time was right, Bai Shuisheng sighed and looked at Bai Zilin with a ashamed expression, saying, "Zilin, your father apologizes to you. I shouldn't have listened to your mother and cruelly expelled you from the Bai family. I was wrong too. Today, in front of all the elders and villagers, I formally apologize to you. Please forgive me for being senile. I... I'll kneel down for you. If you don't forgive us, we'll keep kneeling until you do!"
Bai Zilin curled his lip and said, "I forgive you. Get up."
Bai Wangshi and Bai Shuisheng exchanged a joyful glance. Just as they were about to get up from the ground, Village Chief Zhao hurriedly said, "Zilin, now that you've forgiven your parents, are you coming with us? And have you agreed to return to the Bai family?"
Bai Wangshi and Bai Shuisheng, the couple, exchanged a glance and quickly knelt back down. Yes, he hadn't agreed to let them return to the Bai family yet. What was the use of just forgiving them? They weren't really begging for his forgiveness; they just wanted him to come back and continue to support them.
Bai Zilin nodded expressionlessly and said, "Alright, then the two of us will go with the villagers. Village Chief Zhao, do you have any other questions?"
Village Chief Zhao shook his head with an awkward smile: "Hehehe, what problem could I have? I asked you to come with us because I care about you. There are many people and things to deal with on the road of escape. It's not safe for you two children to travel alone. Uncle Zhao is worried about you, and your parents are worried about you too."
“Now that your family is reunited, Uncle Zhao won’t be in the way anymore. You can chat. By the way, Zilin, if you’re going hunting in the mountains tomorrow, invite the uncles and elders from the village to come with you. The more people there are, the more game you’ll catch, and we can eat it together…”
Bai Zilin remained silent with a cold expression. The village chief gave Bai Shuisheng a wink, then turned and went back to where his family was resting, but his eyes remained fixed on this side.
Bai Shuisheng looked at Bai Zilin with an awkward smile and said, "Zilin, since you've forgiven your parents, how about we continue living together as a family?"
Bai Wangshi looked at Bai Zilin expectantly, afraid that she would not agree. Bai Zilin turned to Liu Ye and said, "Silly girl, since my parents want me to go back to the Bai family, then I will go back with them. You keep an eye on your things and don't let anyone steal them. If anyone dares to steal them, you take a cleaver and chop them down. You're stupid, even if you kill someone, the government can't do anything about it, do you hear me?"
Liu Ye nodded, understanding what Bai Zilin meant, and waved the wood-chopping knife in her hand.
Bai Zilin nodded, stood up decisively from the ground, took his bow and arrows from the cart, and headed towards the Bai family's resting place.
The Bai couple got up from the ground and followed him back to their resting place. Bai Wangshi looked at Bai Zilin, who was already sitting on the ground, and asked with a smile, "Zilin, you forgot to push the cart. Hurry up and push the cart back. We can't let that silly girl have it. My legs have been hurting these past two days. With the cart, I won't have to walk anymore."
Bai Shuisheng quickly added, "We also need to get the things back from the car. We can't keep that silly girl that the Liu family doesn't want!"
Bai Zilin hugged the bow and arrow, closed his eyes, and said, "The cart and everything on it belong to that silly girl. I have nothing but this bow and arrow. You're overthinking it."
Upon hearing this, Bai Shuisheng exclaimed, "What?! It's all because of that silly girl! How could that be? I smelled meat! That silly girl is so stupid, how could she possibly have caught any prey? That little beast must be lying!" He chuckled, "Zilin, don't joke with your father. Hurry up and get the stuff back. That silly girl is so stupid, how could she possibly have gotten a cart? I smelled meat..."
Madam Bai nodded and said, "I smelled it too. Zilin, hurry up and get the things back. We can't let this silly girl get away with it. Our family is still hungry, and my stomach hurts from hunger. Go and get the things back right away!"
Bai Zimei couldn't stand it anymore. She got up from the ground and shouted, "If you won't go, I will! Why should our family's things be given to an idiot? Mother, come with me and push the cart back!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Wangshi was determined to go, and even Bai Shuisheng wanted to go. Just as the three of them turned around, they heard Bai Zilin sneer, "Hmph! That silly girl has already killed three people on the way, and she stole the things from them. If you're not afraid of death, then go!"
The Bai family of three were somewhat incredulous after hearing this, but none of them dared to move. Bai Zimei looked at Liu Ye and saw that she was still holding a wood-chopping knife in her hand, looking like she would chop anyone who dared to come over. She was so frightened that she obediently sat down to the side and said, "Father, Mother, you two go and push it. That big idiot definitely won't dare to chop you. My feet hurt..."
Bai Shuisheng was also afraid that the idiot would kill him. He looked at Bai Wangshi, who trembled at his gaze: "Husband, that idiot is so stupid she would even eat shit. She would definitely dare to kill someone. I'm not going!"
Bai Shuisheng gritted his teeth and raised his hand, habitually about to slap Bai Wangshi, but when he saw Bai Zilin sitting to the side, he quickly put his hand down and awkwardly tugged at his sleeve: "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Well, that silly girl is quite pitiful too. It's just a broken cart. Forget it, let's just give it to her."
Bai Zilin curled his lips in a mocking smile. He had agreed to come back, but he had no intention of raising them anymore. He wanted him to hunt for them to eat? Dream on. However, he would go hunting in the mountains tomorrow. But even if he saw any prey, he wouldn't shoot it. He would just go up the mountain, circle around, and come back. He knew what Village Chief Zhao was up to. The cigarette had damaged something!
