Bai Yuntang ignored the old lady's irritation, walked to the water tank, scooped out a ladle of water, poured it into his stomach, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, turned around and entered the house.
Watching Chen Jiao holding her son to sleep, Bai Yuntang choked immediately when the words rushed to his throat.
Seeing Bai Yuntang appearing at the door, Chen Jiao felt very uneasy.
Even though this person usually listens to her in everything, if she really steps on his bottom line and refutes his face, he won't be so easy to talk to.
As soon as this man came back, she saw him at the window. The moment he entered the door, she did not miss the anger on Bai Yuntang's face. Needless to say, it must be what those people said to him?
After putting her son on the bed and patting her gently, Chen Jiao raised her head and forced a smile.
"Cousin Yun, are you angry?"
Listening to Chen Jiao's careful tone and looking at her slightly tilted face, which just exposed her fair neck, Bai Yuntang's inner anger suddenly vented half of it.
He walked to the chair and sat down, drank another bowl of tea, and placed it heavily on the table.
"Don't get close to Bai Yunxi if you have nothing to do in the future. That person is not easy for me to mess with. He is very difficult to deal with. In the end, you will be the one who suffers."
Listening to Bai Yuntang's tone, Chen Jiao looked at him with red eyes due to the emotion in her eyes.
"I really want to curry favor with them. I know that there is a gap between our family and my aunt, and it is not easy to move around again. Now that Xiao Wu has been admitted as a scholar, his status has been greatly improved. I think having the title of scholar is
We can be exempted from the land tax. If we make good friends with my aunt, maybe our farm can be transferred to her family and save a lot of food."
Hearing Chen Jiao's reminder, Bai Yuntang was stunned.
"You really think so?"
"That's natural. In order to curry favor with her, Xing'er and I made peach blossom cakes together. I thought we would get a smile on her face, but I didn't expect that we ended up being dissatisfied with her."
Chen Jiao said, pressed her eyes with the handkerchief, and saw that Bai Yuntang's expression had softened a lot, then she cautiously tried to say,
"Actually, I asked Xing'er and my aunt to send peach blossom cakes out of selfish motives."
Seeing Chen Jiao's worried look, Bai Yuntang's face tightened.
Sure enough, there is more to it.
Thinking of his cousin's warning, Bai Yuntang's face darkened.
"I can let you do anything else, but I can't do anything about Xing'er. If you have an idea for the nephew of the Bai family, the consequences will not be something you or I can bear."
Thinking of the anger he suffered in front of Baiyunxi's door, Baiyuntang's face suddenly became gloomy. He walked up to Chen Jiao with a dark face, stared straight into her eyes, and spoke seriously.
"Since you married me, Myolie is my daughter. No matter whether there is a blood relationship or not, she and the Bai family's nephews can only be cousins. Don't have other ideas. If you really have other thoughts, it will be the best.
So that I can kill him. Otherwise, either you will be expelled from the Bai family, or I will be expelled from the Bai family together with you."
"No matter which one, you and I can't bear it. When the time comes, you and I will be the sinners in the family."
After hearing Bai Yuntang's warning tone, Chen Jiao's face turned pale and she pursed her lips tightly. It took a while before Noonuo spoke.
"It's not so serious. I just thought that Xing'er's surname is not Bai anyway. If there is a fate, it may not be a good deal to make them come true. Even if it doesn't work out, as long as Xing'er shows up more at my aunt's house, the relationship between cousins will be better in the future.
It’s good to have someone taking care of you.”
"Even if Xing'er marries to another village, the Bai family is still her natal family. It's always good to have multiple backers. I really didn't think too much about other things. I didn't expect that my aunt would be so taboo. It's not my fault."
After hearing Chen Jiao's plan, Bai Yuntang looked at her blankly for a moment.
"Baiyunxi is a monkey. If you want to take advantage of her, you might as well dream faster."
"Anyway, Xing'er has grown up and is old enough to marry. If you have any plans, then give her a good relationship. If she wants to stay for one or two more years, I won't object, but if she stays in our house, she will have to change her surname.
, if his surname continues to be Chen, he will be sent back to Xiawan Village. At the worst, we can just provide some food to support him."
As expected, they were right. Chen Jiao really wanted Xing'er to marry into the Bai family. If nothing else, he would not agree in the first place.
Listening to Bai Yuntang's tone, Chen Jiao's face turned pale.
"You want to drive Xing'er away? She is my biological daughter."
"Just because she is your daughter, I only think about her. If she continues to stay in the Bai family, there is no other way but to change her surname. Do you really want the patriarch to come forward and divorce you back to Xiawan Village?"
Chen Jiao: "..."
She has already given birth to a son. If she is divorced again, her life will be over.
Looking at Chen Jiao's pale face, Bai Yuntang turned around and sat back on the chair.
"Xing'er has grown up, so you really have to avoid some taboos. You are now a member of the Bai clan, so it's just a matter of not blending in. You can't let the clan members avoid you and your daughter like snakes and scorpions, right?"
"I didn't care about it in the past, but you really have to pay attention to your words and deeds in the future. Don't forget, now you have a son in addition to your daughter. Even if you don't think about me, you still have to think about your son."
"Don't you still want your son to study for science and gain glory for the family? Although reputation is invisible and intangible, it is indeed very important. If you don't want your son to be disliked and poked in the back, you have to start from
Start changing now.”
Listening to Bai Yuntang's warning, Chen Jiao almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
She clutched her chest and stared at Bai Yuntang with tearful eyes. Is this how the man she desperately wanted to marry stabbed her lungs?
The more she thought about it, Chen Jiao felt ashamed and annoyed, so she rushed over, raised her fist and hit Bai Yuntang on the chest.
"What do you mean by this? Do you dislike me too? If that's the case, I might as well just kill myself, wuwu..."
Seeing the small fists falling on her chest like raindrops, it was neither painful nor itchy, Bai Yuntang directly grabbed her hand and sighed,
"What do I dislike you for doing? I do it for the good of this family, and for the good of you and Xing'er. You feel sorry for Xing'er, and if you want to find a good home for her, you have to have other people's consent."
"Xiaowu has won the title of scholar. Not to mention you, the whole village is staring at it. But taking advantage of Baiyunxi is even harder than reaching the sky. Xiaowu is her eyeball and her hope for the future. How can it be so?
Will you let you scheme against her?"
Speaking of this, Bai Yuntang took a deep breath and reached out to pat Chen Jiao on the back.
"You should know how Mrs. Sun was divorced in the past, right? Just because she failed to plot Baiyunxi, not only was she chased and chopped with a knife, but she was also divorced back to her parents' home. Ms. Sun is a lesson learned from the past, why can't you figure it out?
?”
Listening to Mrs. Sun's story, Chen Jiao's heart moved. She had indeed heard Mrs. Yang mention this matter.
"Everyone in the village knows how hot-tempered Sun is. Even so, she is no match for Baiyun Xi. With your temper, how can you compete with her?"
