Chapter 90: Chapter 90 really broadened our horizons Chapter 90: Chapter 90 really broadened our horizons The next moment,
Bai Zhi’s mouth corners lifted again,
and then she lifted her foot and stomped down hard.
“Ah!”
Ouyang’s scream rose.
“Are you sick, woman?”
Pain thrashed through his foot, a piercing agony.
“Didn’t you say that everything can be solved with money? I step on you and then give you money, quite fair, isn’t it? Besides…”
Bai Zhi’s gaze shifted to the group pet, who was staring with wide eyes, unable to comprehend the glint in her eye,
“What you owe me is a lot.”
It was this very sentence that made Ouyang inexplicably angry, and particularly loathe this girl.
“How can that be the same?”
“How is it not the same? Wasn’t it you who said that money can solve problems? If you had just picked it, it would have been fine, but you even pulled out the sprouts. What, are you trying to wipe us out completely?
Expecting to receive without having given anything, how can your faces be so big?”
Bai Zhi turned around, looking at the group pet, step by step, slowly walking towards her.
The group pet, for some reason, felt a bit scared and kept backing away.
Huh, so she’s not that brave after all?
Without Bai Ye and Bai Yu, she’s just trash.
For some reason, the group pet felt afraid. She sensed that her sister at that moment was a bit frightening, each step felt like it was pressing down on her heart.
“Sister, what do you want to do?”
What do I want to do? Bai Zhi hadn’t really thought about it, but now?
Bai Zhi grabbed the group pet’s hand, which was chubby, and felt quite good to hold, then squeezed slightly…
“Ah, Sister, it hurts…”
Oh? She didn’t even have much strength, and yet she’s crying?
Tears were already falling from the group pet’s eyes.
Ouyang couldn’t stand by and watch, immediately running over to try and play the hero saving the beauty.
“Let her go, you crazy bitch.”
Crazy bitch?
Very well, very well.
“Great, you’ve successfully angered me, you blind fool.”
Initially, Bai Zhi didn’t want to resort to violence, but now, she felt that some people are just naturally asking for a beating.
In fact, Bai Zhi did want to deal with this male lead because he was the final straw that broke the back of the original owner, that kind-hearted original owner.
Back then, the original owner had saved him, carrying him out of the mountains, cleaned his wounds, took him to the hospital, and finally, brought him home.
Unexpectedly, while she went to do chores, he mistook the group pet for his savior and even fell in love at first sight.
Every time the original owner tried to explain, he looked at her with disdain and called her a delusional, stinky girl.
The original owner’s heart turned cold.
She turned around and aimed a kick at Ouyang, who dodged with a swift turn.
“Oi, you’re dodging?”
Bai Zhi didn’t expect it; this male lead did have some skills, she had thought he was all show with no substance.
“Nonsense, should I just stand here waiting for you to hit me? Now, I’ll let you know what is…”
Ouyang stepped forward, raising his fist to start hitting Bai Zhi. Suddenly, a roar came from behind.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
Bai Zhi turned around and saw, to her surprise, it was Aunt Niu. This Aunt Niu was truly everywhere. But in that instant, Bai Zhi spoke first.
“Xixi, if you guys wanted cucumbers, you could’ve just told me. I would’ve brought them to you. How could you destroy them like this?
The cucumbers that could have been picked are now ruined. Look for yourselves. Isn’t it a mess behind you?
You don’t work, so naturally, you don’t know how exhausting it is to dig and plant. How could you treat food like this? Even if you’re going to waste it, why not ruin your own crops? Is it because you hold a grudge in your heart, you’re doing this on purpose to me, wanting me to have nothing to eat with Grandpa?”
At this point, sadness overcame Bai Zhi, and tears streamed down her face.
In her mind, though, she thought, “Ow, the pinching hurts.
Next time, I can’t pinch myself, it’s not easy being a White Lotus.”
“Sister, you?” The group pet was stunned. She never expected Bai Zhi to change her tune and burst into tears so suddenly, forgetting how to react.
“I’m really disappointed. Even if you dislike me, it shouldn’t be like this. Isn’t Grandpa good enough to you? How can you spoil the land that Grandpa worked so hard to cultivate?
Why don’t you grow your own crops?
Oh, I forgot, we’re not the same, are we?”
Bai Zhi’s tears grew more abundant, and it really hurt. She probably drew blood because she had pinched herself so hard in fear of not being able to cry.
So now, these tears were as real as they could get.
“From the very first day you arrived at my home, you were the little princess in my parents’ and brother’s eyes. You could wear pretty dresses and just needed to be pretty to be considered understanding and well-behaved.
I had to get up before dawn to feed the pigs and chickens and cook for you all. Then, back to the fields, hurry home at noon to cook again, and continue in the afternoon. I would be so exhausted I couldn’t get up, while you could laugh and chat.
Nan Xi, you stole my parents, you stole my brother,
you tell me, shouldn’t I hate you?
You can sleep until you naturally wake up, and when you do, you have food waiting for you, with two eggs every day and sometimes even meat, but me?
Look at you, so fair and plump, beloved by all, and me?”
Bai Zhi looked at herself, feeling wronged as tears fell once more. Even Aunt Niu couldn’t stand to listen anymore.
Who would have thought, the seemingly plain and honest Bai Da would treat his own flesh and blood like this? Is he sick in the head?
“Don’t cry, Bai Zhi, I’ve really seen it all now. This adopted daughter bullying her own sister, your father must be blinded by lard.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi clearly became even more heartbroken and wiped away her tears.
“Aunt Niu, I just feel so upset. Everyone used to say that I don’t talk much and that I don’t fit in, but when did I have the time? Back when we were planting corn, I would work from dawn till dusk by myself. In the end, it was Grandpa who came to help me,
They accuse me of stealing her candy, but after all that work, don’t I deserve even a single piece of candy? Isn’t it enough?”
Bai Zhi cried out heartbreakingly, as if asking both the group pet and herself.
Wasn’t what the original owner did enough? Yet, why does nobody understand?
People always need to be given a bit of hope, but they wouldn’t even give the original owner that little bit.
The resentment in the original owner’s heart kept growing,
how could she be content?
The group pet always had better food and clothing. Even when it came to eating meat or slaughtering chickens, she always had the best.
How could she be content?
After all, they were the original owner’s father, mother, and brother.
“Good child, we were unaware before. It’s only now that we’ve realized, and it’s truly an eye-opener!”
To tell the truth, favoritism is normal; even among ten fingers, there are differences. With several children, there’s bound to be some neglect, but to see a young girl treated as a beast of burden, they had never seen such a thing before. To the unaware, one might think she wasn’t their daughter at all, but an enemy.
Yet, Bai Zhi was born as they watched Ye Xiu pregnant, and ultimately, she was brought home by Bai Da himself. How could there be any falseness to that?
