The dinner was very sumptuous, and Du Hui was very satisfied with it. She said without any pretense that her stomach was almost full.
He Yunlan also ate a lot, but her mind was not on the dishes. If it weren't for the crowd and she had to pay attention to the influence, her eyes would definitely be glued to Bai Shengming.
Fortunately, although the two of them loved each other, they both knew what was right and Bai He's family didn't notice anything.
After the meal, He Yunlan and Du Hui said goodbye, and Bai Banxia sent them to the carriage.
Bai Shengming didn't want to be too enthusiastic this time, and only said that he would go back to study, but he stood at the door of his house and watched them, wearing clothes in the yard, watching them leave.
Bai Banxia returned home and told her parents that they would stay at home to take care of the old man and Xiaocao these days, and that she and Qi Zhen could go to Maple Tree Village.
"I'll go too." Chen Rufeng said.
Bai Banxia nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. I will ask Mr. Zhou to send a letter of commendation to Xuanji Hall later."
People like Chen Rufeng may not care about silver rewards, but it would be nice to get a commendation for Xuanji Hall.
"It doesn't matter. I've benefited a lot from following you to save people," Chen Rufeng said.
"I'll go clean up and call you before setting off later." Bai Banxia said.
She had asked her parents to help boil hot water. After being busy for a few days, she urgently needed a bath, otherwise her hair would stink. There were patients in the Zhang family's yard, and it was not convenient to take a bath next door to where she was staying temporarily, so she went back to
It is better to wash it at home.
After the water was boiled, Bai Tian moved the wooden bucket into the house, and Bai Banxia lifted the hot water in and adjusted the water temperature.
"You keep an eye on me, I'll go accompany my daughter." Zhang Lingzhi ordered Bai Tian.
"Call me if the water is not hot enough, but don't catch a cold." Bai Tian said.
Bai Banxia soaked in the water and breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Lingzhi rubbed her back and washed her hair.
Her hair is now dark and thick, and it is a bit troublesome to wash her hair. Bai Banxia couldn't help but sigh, if she could cut her hair short like modern times, it would save a lot of trouble.
"Mom, aunt, they stole two flowers from me. You should keep an eye on them at home, and especially don't let them enter our house again." Bai Banxia said.
Zhang Lingzhi became angry when he heard this, "It's so shameless, I'll help you get it back."
"Forget it, just feed the dogs, don't waste any effort. There are so many things going on now, I really don't want to pay attention to them." Bai Banxia sighed, "Why don't their family leave? They didn't stay so long in previous years.
Bar?"
"Who knows, maybe it's because we are eating well now that we are reluctant to leave?" Zhang Lingzhi gritted his teeth, "I'll tell my sister-in-law to start a vegetarian diet tomorrow, so that they don't have to stay here."
She said it with great reluctance, but this reluctance was not for Bai He's family, but for her to become a vegetarian too, and she was reluctant to eat meat.
Bai Banxia was amused, "Then you can't wrong yourself. If not, just go to Aunt Fang's house to buy some eggs and meat to eat. I will leave some money for you and dad later."
"We have it in hand, so don't worry about it. You should take care of yourself and don't work so hard all the time without getting a good rest." Zhang Lingzhi said distressedly.
"Okay, listen to me." Bai Banxia agreed obediently.
Suddenly, her ears twitched and her brows frowned slightly.
"What's wrong? Does my mother hurt you?" Zhang Lingzhi was wiping her hair and asked hurriedly when he saw her frowning slightly.
"No." Bai Banxia smiled and glanced towards the backyard with a hint of ridicule.
In the backyard, Qi Zhen looked coldly at Jin Bao who was knocked unconscious by him, stepped on his leg again, then turned around and silently returned to his room.
He had just gone back to the house to clean up, but as a man he didn't have as much trouble as a girl. He just fetched a basin of hot water, scrubbed up in the house, and changed into clean clothes.
He was about to go out to wash his clothes when he heard someone sneaking towards the back window of Bai Banxia's house. He jumped out from the back window and saw that it was Bai He's eldest son Jinbao.
Jin Bao's body shape is very similar to that of his father Jin Laishun. They are both short and fat. When the cat's body is leaning against the wall, it looks squat.
Qi Zhen picked up a stone and threw it out. Jin Bao fell down before he could cry out for pain. If Qi Zhen hadn't been afraid of too much noise, so he was too lazy to help Jin Bao who fell down, but he still felt that he couldn't understand his hatred, so he simply stepped on it.
broken his leg bone.
This kick was also very particular. It did not directly break his tibia, but used a skillful step to create a crack in the bone. It was inevitable that Jinbao would feel pain when he woke up, but there would be no footprints on his skin. He would just fall down.
Injured from time to time.
It doesn't matter if he takes a good rest, but if he is still dishonest or even moves a little harder when he gets out of bed, his tibia will snap with a snap.
Inside the house, Bai Banxia changed her clothes and wiped her hair again. Although her hair was still half wet, she could still go on her way by wearing a headscarf.
She packed another change of clothes and then called Qi Zhen and Chen Rufeng out together.
"Who was it just now?" Bai Banxia didn't look specifically, but he took a rough guess.
"Jinbao." Qi Zhen said.
Bai Banxia sneered, "I heard a sound, is it that bone?"
Qi Zhen raised the corners of his mouth and said, "The ears are really smart, as is the shin bone on your right leg."
"Nice job!" Bai Banxia praised.
Chen Rufeng was confused when he heard this, "What did you do?"
"Killing people and stealing goods, let me tell you, will you report us?" Bai Banxia asked.
Chen Rufeng choked, "I'm afraid I won't even know how I died."
Bai Banxia laughed, and Qi Zhen glanced at him lightly and said, "Those who know the current affairs are heroes."
Both of them obviously didn't want to go into details, and Chen Rufeng didn't want to ask any more questions. He just waited until he returned to Bai's house a few days later and saw Jin Bao's broken leg. Then he thought about Bai Banxia taking a bath that night,
He guessed the reason and secretly cursed that he deserved it.
When they returned to Maple Tree Village, Inspector Du was visiting the patient.
"Didn't you see clearly what was carved on that jade pendant?" Inspector Du was asking Wang Liang in a low voice.
Bai Banxia and the others had just arrived at the door. She had good ears. As soon as she heard it, she stopped the two people beside her and signaled that they should not rush in.
She pretended not to hear anything and asked the doctor next to her about the situation during the day. The doctor answered one by one that the patient's condition was good and there was nothing unexpected.
In the room, Wang Liang said nervously: "I didn't see it clearly, so I felt that the jade was a good thing. I was afraid that someone would see it, so I quickly put it away."
Now that the jade pendant was missing, Wang Liang was even more frightened, for fear that he would be held responsible, let alone what was engraved on it.
When Du Xunzhang heard Bai Banxia's voice, he didn't ask any more questions. He just told Wang Liang to have a good rest and not to worry too much. Although he had something wrong with this matter, he still took the initiative to report it to the official and would not pursue him.
fault.
In the yard, Qi Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Liang would probably stop talking nonsense if he didn't talk now, but he didn't know how much Wang Liang's wife had seen.
