Bai Linglong quickly finished her breakfast and bluntly told her newly engaged fiancé to stay by her bedside. She hurriedly left the hospital to go out and buy something.
Half an hour later, she came back with a pile of meat dishes, including two chickens, two pieces of juicy pork belly, half a rack of ribs, and a big pig's foot. She walked with such a majestic look.
In those days, supplies were scarce and families had limited means. Most rural families could not eat meat all year round. Only the lives of city dwellers were slightly better, but they would only buy more pork during the Chinese New Year. Few people bought so much meat at one time as she did, so she attracted a lot of attention when she came back with so much meat.
Many people who were curious asked her about it, and she replied directly: "My mother just had a major brain surgery, and she needs to eat well to replenish her body."
When she pushed the door open and walked in, Lu Jingchuan had just finished feeding her the last dumpling. Seeing her holding two chickens in her left hand and a large pile of pork in her right hand, he quickly stood up and asked, "Linglong, why did you go buy groceries?"
"It's not easy to cook in the hospital. My mother needs nutrition. I'll leave the meals for the next few days to you."
The two of them had already established their relationship. Bai Linglong didn't exchange pleasantries with him, but directly assigned him a task. Holding the old hen in her hand, she said to him, "You've caused a lot of trouble to my aunt's family these days. Let's stew these two chickens. We'll have one for us, and one for my aunt and her family of three."
"If my aunt knew you were so distant, she would definitely scold me." Lu Jingchuan glanced at her with a smile.
"It's not about being polite, it's about not being rude."
Bai Linglong handed him the meat in her hand and said, "Take it back first. Come back later to help me with half an hour. I have to go to the state-owned store to buy some things."
"I'll buy it for you on the way."
Lu Jingchuan thought she was going to buy clothes. He had exchanged a lot of bills with his aunt this morning and said, "Linglong, what do you want to buy? Give me a list and I'll buy them all later."
"Okay."
At half past nine, Lu Jingchuan had not arrived yet, but Bai Jianren had arrived early. He did not bring the impulsive Old Five with him today, but only Old Yan, another calm and steady man.
This time, Bai Linglong let them into the ward. Without asking them to sit down, she started with a sarcasm: "You're so efficient, just to spend time with that bitch."
Bai Jianren didn't want to talk to her, but when he saw that Bai Shuixianren was awake and saw the coldness in her eyes that had never been there before, his heart skipped a beat and he had a vague bad premonition.
Bai Shuixian didn't want to waste any more words with this scumbag, so her gentle voice was very indifferent: "Bring out the money and the household registration certificate."
Old Yan glanced at Bai Jianren, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he threw the cloth bag in his hand to Bai Linglong.
Bai Linglong curled the corners of her mouth slightly, poured everything in the cloth bag onto the bed, and in front of them, she counted the money deftly with her hands, making the bills clatter.
"Mom, 5,500 yuan has been paid and the household registration transfer certificate has been confirmed."
Bai Shuixian couldn't move her head, but her limbs could move. She crossed her hands and placed them on her chest, her eyes cold and deep. She didn't even bother to call out her name: "This is Linglong's condition. I have three more things to ask."
Seeing that she still had conditions, Bai Jianren's face darkened, "Don't go too far."
"As long as this marriage lasts, and I don't sign, the initiative is in my hands. If you think I'm going too far, you can leave now, and I won't stop you at all." Bai Shuixian spoke slowly and calmly as always, as if she was just chatting with him at this moment.
This was the first time that Old Yan met Bai Shuixian. He had always thought that Brother Bai’s country wife was an ordinary rural woman who had never seen the world. But now, seeing Bai Shuixian’s elegant demeanor, he couldn’t help but doubt her background.
In terms of appearance, Bai Shuixian is far superior to Qin Menglan. Even though she is lying on the bed now and wearing simple clothes, you can still vaguely see that she is tall and much taller and slimmer than Qin Menglan.
On second thought, Old Yan also understood Brother Bai's thoughts. The Qin family had a high status and the benefits that could be obtained by marrying Qin Menglan were something that a hundred Bai Shuixians could not give.
"you say."
Bai Jianren glared at the mother and daughter.
He had already paid 5,500 yuan, and also spent money on transferring his household registration. He had already spent so much money, so he didn't mind paying more. It would come back to him sooner or later anyway.
"Fifteen gold bars, hand them over."
Bai Shuixian's indifferent voice startled Bai Jianren so much that his body trembled suddenly, and his eyes, which were filled with bloodshot, exploded.
Old Yan's pupils also shrank slightly. He glanced at his reaction, then looked at the mother and daughter of the Bai family who had the same cold eyes. His eyes moved, but he didn't say anything.
"What gold bars? I don't have these things." Bai Jianren quickly calmed down.
Having seen his shamelessness before, Bai Shuixian expected him to deny it now. She did not argue with him, but simply said to her daughter, "Linglong, ask the comrades from the hospital security department to come over and tell them that I want them to help me call the police. There is a human trafficker here who is kidnapping women."
"Okay." Bai Linglong cooperated and stood up.
"Bai Shuixian, what nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Jianren looked fierce but was actually weak, and his eyes instantly became fierce.
"Give me the fifteen gold bars, and I won't charge you for the rest."
Compared to his emotional outburst, Bai Shuixian acted very calm, but her gentle words were filled with threats: "Keep a close eye on your dog and don't let it out to bite people. If anything happens to my daughter or me, I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life behind bars."
Bai Jianren was so angry that his joints were cracking. He forced himself to calm down and looked at her deeply with a gloomy face.
"Fifteen gold bars, not one less, don't give them to me as filler." Bai Shuixian warned him.
"I didn't take fifteen, only five."
Bai Jianren was certain that she had recovered her memory. It must have been a blessing in disguise because of the brain injury she had suffered this time. He was so angry just thinking about it.
At this time, the resentment towards the vampires in his hometown reached its peak.
This group of burdens who are more likely to cause trouble than help will only cause him trouble. If they hadn't messed around, Bai Shuixian wouldn't have gotten into trouble, and the lunatic Bai Linglong wouldn't have come to Tancheng to act crazy. His reputation and work wouldn't have been affected, and he wouldn't have been ridiculed.
Bai Shuixian didn't even glance at him. She said expressionlessly, "If I say fifteen, it means fifteen. You have no right to bargain with me. If you keep talking nonsense, fifteen will become fifty."
"Bai Shuixian, you are so cruel."
Bai Jianren had never realized that she was a shameless person before, and now he was so angry that his heart ached.
"I learned this from you. Thank you for your teaching over the past twenty years. I won't pay you the apprenticeship gift."
Bai Shuixian's face showed no emotion at all, she remained calm, but her words were heartbreaking enough. She continued calmly, "The second thing is, we're doing a paternity test with Linglong at the city hospital right now. It proves that you and her are not related by blood, and you are not her biological father and daughter."
