"Madam Bai, your situation is rather difficult!"
"You can't prove you're a widow now, you can only prove you had four children out of wedlock!"
"Because your household registration has always been in Rongnian County!"
"If you really want to establish a household with a woman in it, you should go back and talk to your father!"
Hearing this, Bai could only give up.
As the group left the county government office, Bai's mood was noticeably low. Lin Ru comforted her, "It's alright, if it can't be done, it can't be done! Anyway, in about ten days, this household registration will be useless!"
Mrs. Bai looked at her children with some sadness.
"Whether that household registration is useful or not, I want you to be freed from that disgusting Lin family forever!"
"Even if you're registered under the same household registration as them, it won't work!"
Lin Ru understood Bai's dislike, but now was not the time to dwell on this matter!
The best course of action now is to go to Bai's maternal home and see their attitude. If they really don't want Bai as their daughter, then Lin Ru should lead them away as soon as possible. Although the world will be in chaos then, she remembers that the situation at the Marquis of Zhenbei's place seems to be less chaotic than described in the book.
The Bai family understood that now was not the time to dwell on this. They agreed to first go to the inn to collect their belongings, then buy some gifts, and then head to Shili Village immediately!
As the group was walking towards the inn, someone suddenly rushed in front of them and blocked their way!
This man was tall and strong!
Their faces were filled with surprise!
"Wanrong!? Little sister? Is that you? Are you Bai Wanrong!?"
Bai was stunned when she saw the person in front of her, until she heard the man's words! Tears immediately streamed down her face!
"Big brother!? Is that you? It's me, Wanrong!"
When the eldest brother of the Bai family heard this,
Her eyes also welled up with tears!
He walked up to Bai Shi in a few steps and hugged her!
"Little sister! Why are you only coming back now? Where have you been all these years? Why have you never contacted the family?"
"Your parents only scolded you a couple of times, how could you bear to sneak away!"
"Do you know how frantically everyone's been looking for you?"
Bai cried, "Big brother! I... I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
"I have written home every year for so many years!"
"And when I left back then, I also left a note for my parents!"
"My address is clearly written on it, why haven't you come to see me all these years? I thought..."
Bai couldn't continue speaking and cried even harder!
Bai Jian, the eldest brother of the Bai family, was somewhat confused by his sister's words!
He released his younger sister and looked at her in disbelief!
"What? You said you left a note when you left, but we didn't find it when we searched your room!"
"And we've never received a letter from you!"
"Where have you been all these years?"
"Could it be that she really ran off with that brat?"
After saying this, he finally noticed Lin Ru and the others!
"Little sister!? Who are these children behind you?"
Bai wiped away her tears!
He turned his head and pointed to Lin Ru and the others, introducing them!
“They are all my children. The eldest is a daughter named Lin Ru, the second is Lin Bai, the third is Lin Mo, and the fourth is Lin Qing!”
She then pointed to Bai Jian: "This is your eldest uncle!"
Lin Ru and the other three greeted her very obediently, "Hello, Uncle!"
Bai Jian looked on in disbelief!
Because in his memory, his sister was still that spoiled and vain little girl!
Now that he's back, he suddenly has four more children!
That's true! More than ten years have passed!
Even her sister's appearance has changed!
If it weren't for his father drawing a portrait of his sister every year, he probably wouldn't have recognized her!
Bai Wanrong thought that Bai Jian did not welcome her children, and tears welled up in her eyes again!
"Brother! If you want to blame someone, blame me. It has nothing to do with the children. They have suffered so much over the years!"
"I hope my older brother likes them!"
Bai Jian finally came to his senses!
Afraid that her younger sister would misunderstand her, she wiped away her sister's tears just like when they were little!
But we just hugged each other because we were too excited, and now it feels like it's not proper!
Suddenly, everything fell into disarray!
Lin Ru found it strangely funny to see this nearly 1.9-meter-tall muscular middle-aged man crying so hard upon seeing Bai Shi, his eyes reddening, and his head covered in sweat!
She stepped forward, took the handkerchief from Bai Jian's hand, and wiped away Bai's tears!
He patted her gently to comfort her!
“Mother! Uncle probably doesn’t dislike us, he just can’t accept it right now. After all, you haven’t seen each other for over ten years. When you left, you were probably just a little girl in his eyes!”
"It's truly surprising that she's suddenly appeared as a mother of four!"
"Please stop crying, your uncle is sweating with worry!"
"We also need to buy gifts for our maternal uncles!"
Upon hearing this, and seeing her elder brother's anxious expression, Bai Shi slowly stopped crying.
Bai Jian was immediately filled with affection for his niece, who was so filial and understanding!
Girls are definitely better!
Look at his three nephews, standing there dumbfounded, like wooden statues!
Just like his son, he's really unlikable!
After Bai Shi calmed down, she looked at Bai Jian and asked, "Brother, all these years, have you really not received any letters from me?"
"Didn't you receive a single one?"
Bai Jian shook his head firmly!
"Not a single one has been received!"
At this moment, Bai Shi also realized what was going on!
He angrily cursed, "That beast! I clearly wrote letters every year and asked him to send them back, and there was money I secretly earned from doing these shows inside!"
"I never expected this! He didn't even ask anyone to deliver it once! I've been blinded by greed all these years, falling for such a beast!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jian immediately understood!
He said that his sister, who had never traveled far from home, could not possibly lose contact with her family as soon as she left!
Everyone else said his sister was dead, but only his family believed that she was still alive!
Not only is she alive and well now, she has also returned with four children!
Bai Jian was also furious!
Where is that beast now?
"Since he dares to treat you like this, I'll chop him up!"
Lin Ru looked at the bustling crowds on the street and chimed in!
"Uncle, this isn't the place to talk!"
"Let's go buy some things first. Our luggage is still at the inn. We'll talk about it in detail when we get to my maternal grandparents' house!"
Upon hearing that his little niece had spoken, Bai Jian quickly nodded in agreement!
"Okay! Ru'er! I'll do whatever you say!"
"Just tell your uncle what you want to buy!"
"Little sister! Ru'er! I see your clothes are a bit worn out, why don't I take you to buy some new outfits?"
"Little sister! Ru'er! You two won't do without any hair ornaments!"
"I'll take you shopping in a bit!"
Lin Bai, Lin Mo, and Lin Qing stood behind, looking at each other in bewilderment!
Why do I suddenly feel like the three of them are superfluous?
Lin Ru, on the other hand, was somewhat unaccustomed to Bai Jian's excessive enthusiasm.
She roughly calculated the time and interrupted Bai Jian's incessant chatter!
"Uncle! We're going to buy some gifts first! We'll talk about other things later!"
