Chapter 3 The long-lost family

"Stop fighting, stop fighting." After Bai Tian came to his senses, he ran over to block Matchmaker Wang's hand without hesitation. He was trying to stop the fight, but he was actually deflecting the fight so that his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law could fight more smoothly.

"Stop it, stop fighting!" Old Mrs. Bai also screamed anxiously. She really wanted to break up the fight, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her no matter how she shouted.

The movement of the Bai family alarmed the neighbors. After everyone pulled away, they saw the always arrogant Matchmaker Wang, who looked like an eggplant beaten by frost. Her hair was scattered, her hair was torn off, and her face was white.

Mixed with the rouge and nosebleeds, one eye was black and blue, and it almost caught up with the colorful face of an opera singer.

"Bai Banxia, ​​I remember you, you will never get married in this life!" Matchmaker Wang said harshly, picked up one of the shoes that had been stepped on, and left.

"It's not your turn to worry, just go ahead and marry your daughter to Wang Han!" Bai Tian felt so happy that he drank loudly.

My daughter is really awesome today, but Matchmaker Wang deserves a beating!

After everyone had dispersed, Mr. Bai came out of the back room with a dark face. He had been in poor health for the past two years, and had recently suffered from arthritis. He rarely left the house except to eat.

"I am not very capable every day, but I have offended someone in my family. If you can't bear it, don't eat dinner." Mr. Bai lectured.

Old Mrs. Bai opened her mouth. She felt a little sorry for her younger son. Those two losers were hungry, but her younger son was born weak and couldn't go hungry.

"What I'm trying to teach you is that these two women are just ignorant. I'll go back to the house and teach them a lesson." Bai Tian quietly winked at Bai Banxia and his daughter, and pulled the two of them back to his house.

The Bai family's yard is not big, and the house is also very shabby. Bai Tian's family of three are squeezed into a small shabby house. There is only a clay kang, and there is an old wooden box next to the kang. There is not even a stool in the house.

Bai Banxia looked at the only earthen bed and felt awkward.

Her good experiments were coming to an end, why did she end up in this shabby place?

At such a big age, my parents have to squeeze into the same bed, and it looks like they are all big light bulbs.

My predecessor was taciturn, so her parents didn't think anything was wrong when she didn't speak. They just thought she was tired.

After a while, Bai Tian slipped out of the house, and without a cup of tea, he quietly slipped back in.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter, get up and eat quickly." He lowered his voice and took out two whole grain steamed buns from his arms with a smile.

He stuffed one into Bai Banxia, ​​broke the other in half, and handed one half to Zhang Lingzhi.

"Mom gave it to me. I didn't touch it. Take it back and let's eat it together." Bai Tian said and took out an egg from his arms as if he was offering another treasure. "Look, there's this one."

Bai Banxia's stomach growled unsatisfactorily. After struggling for a long time, she was indeed hungry.

"Are you greedy? These eggs are so delicious." Bai Tian smiled a little bit.

He peeled off the egg shell, carefully broke it open, and handed half to his daughter and half to his wife.

Bai Banxia picked up the steamed bun and took a bite. It was hard, dry, and a little bitter, but very filling. He swallowed the egg in another mouthful. Well, it tasted so good!

She was a little on the verge of tears. She had never felt that boiled eggs tasted so delicious before. It was really miserable.

At this time, she heard a grunt and looked up. It was the sound of her mother swallowing saliva.

"Her father, you can eat it to replenish your health." Zhang Lingzhi couldn't help but swallowed again, but still pushed the egg back to her husband.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'll let you know later that you'll get angry again." Bai Tian's face turned cold and he directly stuffed half an egg into his wife's mouth.

Bai Banxia saw his father's indifferent expression, but turned around and hurriedly licked some egg yolk crumbs on his fingers.

Thinking again that she had just swallowed it in one mouthful, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

In her previous life, she was born in a secluded medical school. Her parents died young. She barely felt the warmth of family affection, so she grew up studying medicine diligently, and even became the chief researcher of the "Miracle Medical System", the high-level secret project of the Huaxia State.

In the dead of night, she would occasionally feel lonely, confused, and feel no sense of belonging.

But now the sudden change actually made her heart feel warmer.

Seeing Bai Banxia in a daze, Zhang Lingzhi thought she had been affected by the rumors, and said distressedly: "Ban Xia, don't care what people outside say, the worst is, we won't get married, your parents will support you for the rest of your life."

"Mom, dad, I won't be bullied anymore, and I will let you live a good life." She said seriously.

Bai Tian was stunned for two seconds, and then laughed happily, "Okay, okay, my daughter has grown up, and today you are like this."

He gestured with his thumb. He had long said that his daughter should be harder, but now he finally got the idea.

Bai Banxia wanted to say something more to them, but she was afraid of being too impatient and acting too abnormal, so she had better do it step by step.

The top priority is to find a way to make money and improve their lives so that at least the family can have enough to eat.

At dawn, Bai Banxia packed up a backpack, found a small shovel and went out.

The day's plan lies in the morning. Yesterday, she discovered some medicinal materials in the back mountain from her predecessor's memory. Her predecessor didn't understand the medicinal materials and only thought they were weeds. It was such a waste of natural resources.

If she could still find it, she would pick it, process it, sell it, and make some money.

Climbing a mountain can also give you some exercise. I didn't expect Bai Banxia to be out of breath and her calves felt weak just after climbing for a quarter of an hour.

"Beep beep beep, blood sugar has dropped, it is recommended to supplement nutrition..."

It was a reminder from the miracle doctor system. In addition, the system also made a new discovery, indicating that my predecessor was puffy and obese due to improper use of drugs. It was a long time ago and it was unclear what drug it was.

No wonder the Bai family's conditions were not good. Her predecessor was often hungry and malnourished, but she also gained weight. As a result, her grandma always suspected that she had eaten the food in the house.

But it doesn't matter. She can just treat her illness. She also has ways to keep fit and lose weight. A small waist is not a problem, nor is recovering her health. Health is the capital of struggle.

After adjusting her breathing for a while, she continued walking up the mountain. She picked a few wild fruits on the way to satisfy her hunger, and her condition gradually improved.

She walked and rested like this for almost an hour before she found the place in her memory and discovered the clump of wild Angelica dahuricae.

Angelica dahurica has small white flowers, which are very inconspicuous, but the roots can be used as medicine.

Bai Banxia took off the basket, carefully dug out the roots of Angelica dahurica and put it into the basket.

By the time she finished all this, the sun had risen, and the sunlight shone on her long eyelashes, as if they were coated with a layer of gold, which was very beautiful.

The descent went smoothly, but as soon as she reached the bottom of the mountain, she saw her mother rushing over.

"Daughter, what are you doing? I'm so anxious!" Zhang Lingzhi shouted.

"What's wrong?" Bai Banxia frowned, wouldn't Matchmaker Wang dare to come?

Zhang Lingzhi hurriedly took her hand and walked away, shouting in a loud voice: "Something big happened! Come on, come on, don't talk so much, I'll take you to your grandpa's house."
