At this juncture, Bai Wenjing obviously did not care about the system or not.
But what was the use of her shout just now? Xue Bainian still tiptoed and stretched his neck, using his chubby little hands to grab the lid of the pot.
The swaying stool finally could not hold on anymore, and Xue Bainian also pounced into the pot.
It’s over!
Bai Wenjing sucked in a breath of cold air. She could not care less anymore and dashed forward.
At the critical moment, her fingers hooked onto Xue Bainian’s lapel, and Xue Bainian fell back into her arms.
She looked at the pot lid again. Xue Bainian had conveniently thrown it to the side, and at the same time, the water vapor on it had thrown a face at her.
Fortunately, the water vapor was not too hot after it had spun in the air. Otherwise, her face would have been torn apart.
The most surprising thing was that Xue Bainian had been saved.
Bai Wenjing looked at Xue Bainian, who had been dragged to the ground by her and was still giggling despite not knowing the danger. She let out a heavy sigh.
If she had been a step later, when the people outside came in, they would have probably seen the child in the pot.
Thinking of this, Bai Wenjing shuddered. If that really happened, she would strangle herself to death before anyone else could do anything.
“Mother, have fun. I want to play again.”
Xue Bainian stretched out his chubby hand and caressed her face carelessly while giggling. Bai Wenjing could not hold back the anger in her heart and shout, “Enough! What are you playing for? Sit down obediently. If you run around again, I’ll Slap You!”
Xue Bainian was still unable to react to his mother’s sudden scolding. When he finally reacted, he started crying again.
The people outside the door were still banging on the door. The sound of crying and banging on the door was a mess. Bai Wenjing was very frustrated and replied impatiently, “I’m coming, I’m coming. Stop patting!”
As she said that, she opened the door angrily.
The two people standing at the door saw Bai Wenjing’s dark face and were instantly stunned.
This woman had never been easy to deal with. Could it be that she had met with a snag again today?
“You guys are…”
Bai Wenjing swept her gaze across the group of people who were standing in the courtyard with lanterns and torches. The ominous thoughts from before resurfaced in her mind. Most of her anger from before had also been poured out, halfway through her words, she switched to a weak voice and asked, “What happened? Why, why are they all coming to my courtyard?”
At this time, a stern voice said, “What do you think is going on? You don’t even think highly of your own child. You even dare to dig up the ancestral grave!”
“Hand over those two little bastards in your house!”
“Right, hand them over. If you don’t hand them over today, we’ll go see the village chief!”
Bai Wenjing was instantly dumbfounded. Did she hear wrongly? Those two little bastards dug up the ancestral grave? You must be joking!
Although her legs and stomach were trembling, Bai Wenjing held her temper and asked, “This, I’m afraid this isn’t a joke. They are both children, how would they dare to go to the place where the dead are buried…”
Not to mention the two children, even the thought of digging up the graves in the dark made her hair stand on end.
“Just those two little brats of yours, what else would they not dare to do?”
The pouting Granny Wang bent her body and her face was full of wrinkles. At this moment, she looked at her with a gloomy expression. “Maybe they went to dig for the treasure. They’re wicked. They’ll be struck by lightning.”
These words made Bai Wenjing more and more frightened.
Indeed, what else did these little brats not dare to do? Not to mention the people present, even her own mother did not believe it. Other than these two brats, who else could do such a thing.
However, this group of people had all come looking for her. No matter how bad the children were, they were still her biological children.
Bai Wenjing wanted to cry, but no tears came out, she could only console them, “I don’t know where these two children have gone either. I just brought the youngest back and haven’t even had a bite of rice when you guys came… if it wasn’t for this, I would have cooked porridge in the pot. Each of you can have some to fill your stomach first. We can have a good talk.”
She really did not know where these two devilish kids had gone. Looking at these people rushing over in anger, in addition to the feudal superstitions of the ancient people, Bai Wenjing really could not keep these people from getting angry and directly swallowed the two little things alive.
After Bai Wenjing said this, no one responded. More than ten people just stood at the door without saying a word or moving. Bai Wenjing could not care too much and turned around to enter the house.
Coincidentally, a large pot of porridge was almost ready. Fortunately, she had accidentally put in too much water. Although the vegetable porridge was a little thin, it was still a rare delicacy. Bai Wenjing took out a dozen broken bowls without saying a word, one after another, she scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it out to the person standing there.
After drinking a bowl of porridge, everyone’s anger subsided a little. The porridge and water just now had been divided up by this group of people, but Bai Wenjing was so hungry that her heart was stuck to her back.
Seeing that everyone had sat down in the courtyard… Bai Wenjing then controlled her temper and said kindly, “Look, these two children haven’t returned yet. This is the only one in my room. I know that this matter is more or less related to my two little brats. Don’t worry, if they come back, I’ll be the first to bring them to Aunt Yao’s house to make amends.”
That’s right. Last time, Xue Baijun burned sister-in-law Yao’s wheat mound, and this time, he dug up her ancestral grave.
Bai Wenjing felt her heart ache just thinking about it. She wanted nothing more than to give those two brats a good thrashing on the spot.
“Why is our Yao family so unlucky…”
“Mother, why are they all in our courtyard?”
Two small figures slipped in from outside at this moment. When they stood in the crowd, they were stunned. They were Xue Baijun and Xue Xiaohua.
“I thought you two little bastards had run off to somewhere!”
“Little bastards still have the face to come back!”
The crowd, who had just been suppressed by Bai Wenjing’s bowl of porridge, was once again ignited by the appearance of Xue Baijun and Xue Xiaohua.
When Bai Wenjing saw this situation, her heart turned cold once again.
Were these not two devilish brats courting death by coming back at this time?
Without waiting for everyone to make a move, Bai Wenjing stood up and said loudly, “You two brats, don’t you know that digging a death pit is wrong!”
Wait, she seemed to have said something wrong…
Xue Xiaohua screamed at this time, “Mom! Why are you so fierce? My brother and I were just playing games with our friends from the same village. We didn’t fight!”
“Playing games?” Bai Wenjing felt a heart attack. “Fine, you’re still stubborn. Then tell me, you can play games, but why are you digging up their ancestors’ graves?”
At this time, Xue Xiaohua realized that something was wrong. She looked around and then looked at her mother. She took a step back and hid behind Xue Baijun. She said softly, “I, I don’t know. It was big brother who brought me there.”
After saying that, she even reached out and tugged at Xue Baijun’s sleeve.
Xue Baijun acted as if he was not afraid of anything. He took a step forward and said, “We were just playing treasure hunting together. What’s the big deal? Moreover, it was not intentional. Moreover, the matter of digging the grave was not my idea. It was his idea..”
