Chapter 366: Chapter 362: A Grand Entrance into the Bai Family

Compared to before, when He couldn’t understand Bai Zhenzhu.

Now, he feels that despite her age, this old woman Bai Zhenzhu really has an eye for things. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

A granddaughter of her biological sister, isn’t that a blood relative?

If they treat the two sisters well, in the future, what’s the difference between them and her own granddaughter?

There’s absolutely no difference!

Instead of spending money and effort on raising someone who is clearly ungrateful.

And throwing money at those freeloading poor relatives.

It’s better to spend the money on these promising and capable kids.

Even though the money is spent, what you receive is completely different.

One has to be a bit selfish; after giving, one should think about the returns.

As long as this family is grateful and knows how to return favors, maybe they can even take care of them in their old age.

Thinking of this, He warmed up a bit, and helped with unloading things.

Seeing the small baby in the swaddle, he inexplicably found it much more pleasing to the eye.

Hmm, really looks cute!

You have to admit, people are truly changeable.

All the way, Bai Zhenzhu walked through the front yard, greeting the aunts picking soybeans at the door, "Yo! Hua, picking soybeans?"

"My goodness, how long have you been knitting that sweater, not even one sleeve done yet?

Listen to your old sister’s advice, stop struggling with it, run outside and spend a buck or two to find someone to knit it for you."

The crowd watched the Xiao Family, bundled up and dusty, and was completely dumbfounded.

Before their minds could react, their hands and mouths already responded, watching their figures disappear in front of them, and the crowd exploded directly.

"Oh my goodness, Yu and Bai, this old couple is really unfortunate.

Poor relatives, sent one off, and another comes.

No, this time it’s a whole family!

Dear me, who knows how much more flesh and blood will be scraped off them this time."

"Oh, I tell you, the old couple is just stubborn," the aunt said with disdain, ripping at her sweater sleeve, "Years ago, if they had listened to me, gone outside, casually adopted a baby boy and raised him until now.

Wouldn’t there be less trouble? A family with no man to inherit the business just can’t do it.

Said it but didn’t listen, even if they cry to death now, it’s too late. His property has long been watched closely by those nephews from Yu’s side. Who dares to come and snatch it?"

She rolled her eyes, couldn’t rip the sleeve any further, so she simply stopped and started commenting, "Even if they want to change their minds now, wanting to raise a child, they can’t raise one.

Whose child, if brought here, I reckon, will have no burial place.

Frankly, I think Yu’s nephew isn’t a good thing, to guard the property, who knows what kind of murderous thing he might do?"

"Luo Cuifen, give it a rest, aren’t you at it again.

With this trivial matter, how many times have you turned it over and over? Do you really think we can’t see your little schemes by now?

Were you advising Yu and Bai to adopt a boy for their benefit?"

Listening to Luo Cuifen go on and on about his petty matters, everyone was really fed up.

So they just bluntly pointed it out, "You clearly just want them to adopt your family’s little grandson."

Luo Cuifen’s face flushed like a monkey’s butt in an instant.

She stammered, "Nonsense! Li Qiaoqiao, stop talking nonsense!

I see you just want to stir up trouble and make us all argue so that you can be happy, right?"

"Hah!"

Li Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes, "I just can’t be bothered with you, can you shut that dog mouth of yours?"

Luo Cuifen couldn’t out-argue, nor out-fight.

Annoyed, she grabbed her half-finished sleeve, stood up, tucked in her small stool, gave Li Qiaoqiao a glare, and left.

If she can’t fight, she can avoid.

After she left, everyone continued to discuss heatedly, "Oh dear, this family doesn’t seem to be anything good either.

Gosh, look at that man, tall and strong!

If Yu and Bai were to have some conflict with them, wouldn’t a punch end the old couple’s lives?"

"Don’t make it sound so scary, we’re under Huanggen’s foot after all, even in madness, it shouldn’t lead to murder, right."

"You’ve already said it’s all about profit, but murder for gain isn’t so unusual, people die for money, birds die for food, it’s the main theme of nature, don’t you understand, bumpkin?"

"No, you..."

Everyone insisted on their views, but the conclusion was that they feared Bai Zhenzhu might have thoroughly dug her own grave again.

Just not knowing how much money this family would end up fleecing out of her this time.

Everyone chattered back and forth, just like a vegetable market outside.

Since no one could persuade anyone, they simply set up betting pools and started gambling.

...

On the other side, through the first courtyard, they reached the second courtyard.

Here, it was noticeably quieter.

The first small courtyard housed seven or eight families, while the central second courtyard was home to only the old couple.

Watching the people flood in, Yu stood up, baffled.

Bai Zhenzhu was afraid the old man didn’t know the nuances here and might say something wrong and blow their cover.

She pulled him over warmly, "Have you boiled the water? I told you before I left today, my granddaughter is coming over."

Yu: "?"

Huh?

What boiling water?

What granddaughter?

Where did this family pop out from?

Though he had many questions in his mind, Yu had one good trait.

His character was placid, never quick to reply, though he knew nothing, he simply said nothing and followed Bai Zhenzhu’s lead.

He stood up, smiling, "Look at me, with age, I’m really not quite up to the mark.

In the morning, she instructed me.

In the blink of an eye, I completely forgot, just now I was wondering in the house where you ran off to."

"Hehehe," Yu went off to boil water, turning to speak to He, "Don’t just stand there, have a seat and wait for a bit."

Wen Ran greeted generously, "Granduncle, you go ahead and busy yourself, we’ll head back out and bring the things from outside."

The family, once again embracing, quickly retreated.

Once everyone was gone, He was finally able to excitedly grab Bai Zhenzhu, "Goodness! You old Bai!

You have such a connection in your family, and you didn’t mention it? Let me tell you, this is a good connection.

The entire family, half of them are college students.

You have to build a good relationship; college students are great. If you’re sincere with them, they’ll be sincere with you too.

In the future, maybe they can take care of you and your spouse in your old age.

The money you spend on them might even yield some returns.

Spending it on Yu’s greedy kin who are never satisfied, that’s like throwing a meat bun to a dog—there’s no coming back from that."
