Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Of course, Bai Wenjing had another way. If she really could not borrow it, she could only look for her in-laws. Although the possibility of borrowing food from her in-laws was small, it was still better than having no hope.

It was up to them to make a scene here. Seeing that the group of people had left, Bai Wenjing slid down from the tree and walked directly in the direction of her in-laws’ house.

However, she never expected that the person who opened the door for her was Xue Baijun.

Seeing that it was her who was standing at the door, Xue Baijun snapped, “What are you doing here? You’re not welcome here.”

Recalling Xue Baijun’s stubborn look before, Bai Wenjing really did not want to talk so much nonsense with him. She said coldly, “Where’s your grandmother? Where’s your grandmother?”

Xue Baijun glanced at the courtyard behind him. There were clearly people moving about in the central room, but Xue Baijun turned to her and said, “My grandmother is not here. She went up the slope to harvest wheat. This is my grandmother’s house. You are not welcome here.”

After saying that, he was about to close the door.

The old lady was obviously at home, and Xue Baijun was also clearly not letting her in.

Bai Wenjing could not contain her anger. She pushed the door open and walked toward the central room.

Lee Guilan was sitting on a chair in the central room. She was holding a piece of rag in her hand and mending the big baby’s clothes. She thought that she was here to borrow some food, hence, she licked her lips and smiled. “Mother, are you busy? I have something to discuss with you. Can you lend me 50 kg of food? Even last year’s products will do.”

Hearing this, Lee Guilan’s eyebrows were deformed from shock.

Why did her daughter-in-law change her personality? Why was she so polite?

Just now, she heard the big baby crying and thought it was made up by the big baby. She did not expect it to really change.

However, when she thought that this might be a trick played by the devil’s daughter-in-law to cheat her of her grain, she said unhappily, “How can there be any old grain? The family has been unable to open the pot for a long time. We haven’t had time to even properly sort the newly harvested wheat.”

“Then I’ll help you. I only want 50 kg.”

Bai Wenjing was still smiling. Looking at her mother-in-law’s stern face, she felt that something was wrong.

“I said I don’t have it. You just took 20 kg from me a while ago. How did you eat it up so quickly?”

After the old lady’s reminder, Bai Wenjing thought carefully and realized that there was indeed such a thing. It was about last week. Bai Wenjing went to the old lady’s house and directly took out 20 kg of corn flour. She took it away without saying anything, the old lady was so angry that she had not spoken to her for a few days.

It was she who was in the wrong first, so she could only tell the truth. “Mother, it’s like this. The big baby accidentally burned someone’s wheat heap, and now, all the food is gone. I was thinking of compensating them…”

“What? Burned someone’s wheat heap?”

When Lee Guilan heard this, she was so angry that her whole body trembled. She stared at Xue Baijun with her triangular eyes.

Xue Baijun shrank back. This time, she completely understood that her precious grandson had really burned the wheat heap! This god damn person, she really was the type of mother who taught the type of seed!

“Didn’t you teach him all of this! My good eldest grandson was taught to be like this by you. He was such a smart and obedient child when he was young. Look, look at what he’s become now?

“He even dared to burn someone else’s wheat heaps. If he grows up, he might even dare to commit murder and arson…”

Lee Guilan was so angry that she was howling while wiping away her tears. Bai Wenjing clicked her tongue. This old lady was right. According to the original story, Xue Baijun grew up to be a big bad person who committed murder and arson…

“Mother…”

“Don’t call me mother. I don’t have a daughter-in-law like you. My wife is not capable, and neither is the Xue family. I can’t help you with this matter. If you want food, you can take care of it yourself.”

Bai Wenjing clicked her tongue. This old lady was even fiercer than she remembered. She was afraid that she had really been angered. However, the matter was imminent, so she could not care too much. She could only speak again, “Mother, if this food…”

“Why is my life so miserable? She thought of telling my son that she was a good wife, but I did not expect that she had actually harmed him. Back then, if it was not for you, would my son have left in anger? If he had not left, would there have been no news? Five years. It has been almost five years. I’m afraid that my son is long gone… my poor son…”

After Lee Guilan finished speaking, she stood up and pushed Bai Wenjing out, as she pushed, she said, “Get out of here. I don’t have room for a Buddha like you. If the wheat pile is short, you have to pay for it. I don’t have any here anyway.

“Don’t you still have some capable family members?

“Go and find them!

“My old lady is standing guard at the door. Let’s see who dares to come and look for my precious grandson!

“Whoever dares to touch my eldest grandson, I’ll die for them to see!”

Bai Wenjing could not be persuaded. She was pushed to the door by the old lady. The door slammed shut, and even the latch was inserted in time.

It seemed that the old lady really did not want to lend her any grain.

Then she could only look for her own mother.

Although her mother’s house was in the neighboring village, it was a mountain road. If she went to her mother’s house, it would take her two whole days to go back and forth. It would be fine if she could borrow some grain, but if she could not…

Whatever, she had to try even if she could not borrow it. After all, the original character’s popularity was poor. At a critical moment, even if she begged the entire village, it would be difficult for her to borrow a grain.

Having made up her mind, Bai Wenjing stood at the door and said to the house, “Mother, I’ll go back to the Bai family and see if I can borrow some grain. I’ll leave the three children to you for the next two days.”

Lee Guilan did not respond, but Bai Wenjing took it as her acquiescence. She was afraid that she would waste time and turn around to leave.

At night, she found an inn and slept there for a night. It was not until noon the next day that she arrived at the Bai family home.

She walked to the main door rashly. Bai Wenjing saw her mother lying on the recliner. She was holding a pumpkin seed in her hand and eating it while basking in the sun. She looked like she had lived a peaceful life.

Looking at her mother’s appearance, Bai Wenjing knew that her mother had been living a good life recently, so she went forward and said, “Mother.”

When Niu Xueqin heard Bai Wenjing call out to her, she flipped over and landed on the ground. Because it was too sudden, she almost fell.

“You, why are you here?”

Niu Xueqin pinched the pumpkin seeds and did not know where to put them.

Her daughter suddenly came over. Could it be that there was something wrong? However, it was probably nothing. Her daughter was very capable, and her in-laws were afraid of her.

“I came to see you.”

Bai Wenjing was still a little nervous in the face of this mother. In the past, Bai Wenjing had indeed helped her family a lot, but her family was just a pile of mud that could not be helped. She did not know if she could borrow it.

Her eldest brother did not come back, and her eldest brother’s wife was not at home. This was a good opportunity for her to borrow food. One had to know that Niu Xueqin had always taken good things from Bai Wenjing.

Seeing her daughter come, Niu Xueqin was extremely happy. She immediately started cooking. Previously, she had been chased out of her in-laws’ house. Now that her mother was welcoming her warmly, Bai Wenjing was so excited that she almost cried.

Her biological mother was her biological mother. In the end, the person who could help her might be this Niu Xueqin.

After eating, Bai Wenjing voiced out her thoughts. “Mother, you have extra grain in your house, right? Please lend me 50 kg first. I’ll return it to you in two days.”

Niu Xueqin was still happy just now, when she heard this, she immediately wailed with a sad face, “Aiyo, I say, daughter, it’s not that I don’t want to lend it to you, but you know our family’s situation. Your sister-in-law is going to give birth in a few days, and she has a big belly. How can there be food in the house? How can that small plot of land feed a large family?

“I’m afraid this child won’t even be able to eat a mouthful of milk after giving birth. If you didn’t come to me today, I would have gone to you and borrow some food from you….”
