Lu Jingchuan came over quickly and brought her two new towels. He also borrowed a set of clean clothes from her aunt and planned to buy her new clothes during the day tomorrow.
When he learned that she was going back to Yang County, he said, "Linglong, I'll go back with you. Mom will ask Taozi to come over and take care of you."
"No, I don't have much to do when I get back. Half a day will be enough. I can handle it myself."
"On the contrary, I'm a little worried about my mother. I cheated that scumbag out of so much money. He must be seeking revenge and might start with my mother. You stay here to protect her, so I can go back to Niujiao Bay without any worries."
Seeing that she was very determined and had already made arrangements, Lu Jingchuan didn't force her and reminded her, "You must be careful. If a conflict arises, don't hurt yourself. If you can't win, retreat first. I will help you get back on track later."
"Okay, if they dare to hurt me, I'll come back and call for help and beat the crap out of them."
Lu Jingchuan chuckled softly, vaguely guessing that she was a powerful figure in Niujiao Bay that others didn't dare to mess with. He never liked weak and incompetent women who could only cry when encountering problems. He liked girls like Bai Linglong who were bold, had personality, and were strong and independent.
He couldn't understand how his gentle and quiet mother-in-law had raised her to be someone with a completely different personality.
In fact, Bai Shuixian did not deliberately teach her daughter. She looked honest and weak on the surface, but she was actually strong-willed at heart, and her daughter was her Achilles' heel.
When Bai Linglong was young, other children in the Bai family bullied her, but Bai Shuixian never tolerated it and was very protective of her.
Perhaps it was due to her subtle education that the clever Bai Linglong also learned from her. At a young age, when she suffered a loss, she would fight back. Even if she couldn't win, she would fight desperately. The more she fought, the more fierce she became. She would go crazy and fight a few more times, which scared others.
She grew up slowly, and later gradually became sensible and knew how to protect her mother, so when those scum in the family found fault with her, she would just go crazy and start fighting, making the house a mess.
After making trouble many times, the Bai family could no longer control her. They had to rely on her and her daughter to make money and work, so they gradually began to openly provoke her.
To put it bluntly, he was just scared of being beaten by her.
When she went crazy and fought desperately, the men in the Bai family didn't dare to get close to her.
The most important thing is that she doesn't care about her relatives. No matter whether they are men or women, young or old, as long as they bully her and her daughter, she will beat them up. She will not stop until the other party begs for mercy.
Lu Jingchuan chatted with them for a while, and waited until Bai Linglong's hair was dry before getting up and leaving.
After he left, Bai Linglong made two cups of milk, fed her mother a cup of hot milk, drank it herself in one gulp, locked the ward door, and the mother and daughter went to sleep together.
Go to bed early at night and wake up early in the morning.
When Bai Linglong woke up, it was still dark outside, and she didn't get up immediately. Although it was the beginning of the year, the temperature was still low, and the room was very cold. It was more comfortable and warm to stay in bed.
After staying in bed for a while, I heard some movement from my mother's side and immediately got up: "Mom, you're awake."
"woke up."
Bai Narcissus has also developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, but she can't get up now. She feels uncomfortable after lying down for a long time, so she is slowly moving her hands and feet.
Bai Linglong got up, quickly put on her clothes, put on her cotton shoes, turned on the light, quickly poured warm water to wash up, and after helping her mother to wash up, she stood by the bed and massaged her limbs.
"Linglong, I had a dream last night."
"What dream?" Bai Linglong looked at her with a smile.
"I dreamed of a strange man wearing a golden robe and a long beard. He looked like he had lost a fight and was upset. He kept saying bad things about you. He said you stole his things and made his house a mess. He cursed me so much and said so much more. I don't remember anything after that."
Bai Linglong: “…”
Isn’t the person mom was talking about the King of Hell?
He even went into his mother's dream to complain to her?
Seeing her staring at him blankly, Bai Shuixian pulled her hand and said, "Linglong, dreams are not to be believed. Don't let your imagination run wild."
"Mom, I don't believe it either. The scene you dreamed of is too funny. I have robbed things and fought and cursed, but I only hit the shameless Bai family. I have never hit anyone else."
In her heart, Bai Linglong was actually cursing the King of Hell for being stingy. Her bright future hadn't even begun, but she lost her life because of the mistake made by his men. Shouldn't she seek justice for herself?
She just caused wild ghosts to run around in the King of Hell's Palace, but she did not directly try to usurp the throne.
Besides, they did something wrong and should apologize. It was reasonable for her to take the little artifact away.
As for running into dreams to complain to mom?
Bai Shuixian seemed to be in a good mood today, with a smile on her face: "There's a saying that goes, 'What you think about during the day, you dream about at night.' I didn't think about these messy things during the day, and I don't know why I dreamed of such strange and bizarre things at night."
Bai Linglong smiled and said, "Just treat it as a fun way to lighten the mood."
Lu Jingchuan brought breakfast again, with two boxes of steamed dumplings, two boiled eggs, and a thermos of minced meat and cabbage porridge.
He came over after finishing breakfast at home. As soon as he arrived, he replaced Bai Linglong in feeding his mother-in-law porridge and said to them, "Your household registration has been taken care of. Zhao Yushu worked hard to get it done. Bai Jianren needs to prepare 5,500 yuan. But he's really shameless. He went to Qin Menglan early in the morning to show his courtesy, accompanied her to the clinic to get medicine, and on the way, he persuaded her with sweet words to help pay 2,000 yuan."
"Qin Menglan must have pig manure in her head." Bai Linglong no longer doubted that she was indeed a fool.
"Maybe she doesn't care about this little money at all. As long as she can get rid of us mother and daughter quickly, so that they can be together legitimately, she would rather spend some money to get rid of us."
Bai Shuixian guessed that the Qin family was powerful and had people like Bai Jianren who had been making money for them for many years. A few thousand yuan should be a drop in the bucket for them, and they probably didn't care at all.
Thinking that they didn't care about this little money, Bai Linglong curled her lips and felt a little regretful: "If I had known earlier, I would have insisted on asking for 100,000 yesterday."
Lu Jingchuan chuckled and said, "Linglong, you are just too kind."
Bai Linglong: "...you still understand me."
Bai Shuixian listened to their conversation and couldn't help but smile. She reminded him softly, "Linglong, you only asked him for money yesterday. It seems like you didn't ask for some other things."
Bai Linglong was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, her eyes rolling and a smile blooming: "Yes, Mom, I only asked him for money. He stole your fifteen gold bars, and I forgot to ask him for them."
Bai Shuixian raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Yes, it's fifteen gold bars. Don't forget to ask him for them. Not a single one can be missing."
Seeing that the mother and daughter had tacitly agreed on a number, Lu Jingchuan pursed his lips and smiled. He had previously thought that his mother-in-law was gentle and indifferent, but now he realized that he was wrong. She also had a smart and scheming side, and the source of Linglong's genes had been found.
