Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Took Root, Sprouted Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Took Root, Sprouted Bai Ye felt slightly surprised when he heard Bai Da speaking with a frown, “At least Dad hasn’t forgotten about , even if he’s scolding because he sees my distress.”
“You! You just know how to leap around all day, can’t you give so peace of mind? Look at Bai Yu and your sister. Do you still have any sha?”
Bai Da, disappointed in Bai Ye’s progress, looked at him. The family had plenty of issues, and yet Bai Ye seemingly didn’t help at ho, instead rrily playing outside all day.
Looking at the state of his clothes, it was unclear what he had been up to.
Bai Ye: “…”
The heat in Bai Ye’s heart cooled gradually. He was accused of frolicking without even being asked?
Hadn’t they seen him working?
Didn’t he work every day? Didn’t he!
But Bai Ye wasn’t like Bai Zhi, who didn’t know how to face confrontation head-on. Hurt, he naturally had to speak out loudly, and besides, he wouldn’t accept false accusations.
“Dad, who told you I went out to play? I went to cut grass for the pigs early in the morning without even breakfast. I told you all, but I fell into a pit. I waited all day, hoping you would realize I was missing and co find , but you didn’t. And now you accuse of running around carelessly.
Dad, don’t you care about at all? Is it that in your heart there’s only Bai Yu as your son?
Can’t you see from my clothes that I got injured? Since whatever I do goes unnoticed, I won’t do any of the chores anymore from today on.”
Bai Ye finished speaking and marched into his room, slamming the door shut with a “bang.”
If they said he wouldn’t work, then he truly wouldn’t.
Did Bai Yu do more work than him? Feeding pigs, cutting the grass, and even sweeping the floor and the yard, yet Bai Yu managed to take credit for his work today?
He used to not care, but today he was particularly angry, because he realized he damn well cared.
He cared whether they noticed his absence, whether they looked for him.
In the end, what Bai Zhi said took root and sprouted in his heart.
He did care, after all.
Looking back at that mont, he was genuinely very angry, especially angry. How could they not notice such a big living person like him?
Indeed…
Perhaps Bai Zhi felt the sa anger back then.
For so reason, even though Bai Zhi hit him today, he couldn’t bring himself to hate her as she said, without any right to do so.
What he had done before was truly rather an.
The mountain pear pain today was especially severe!
Bai Ye stord into his bedroom angry, while Bai Da felt his authority being challenged and sternly spoke.
“Don’t let him eat. We’ll eat by ourselves.”
The group pet hesitated, looking toward the bedroom door. His brother had gone too far this ti. How could he talk back to Dad like that?
As for Bai Yu, he had already started serving the food. The three of them cleaned their plates, although the group pet kept glancing towards the bedroom.
…
When Ouyang rented the house, there indeed was a potato chicken stew, tomato scrambled eggs, and a winter lon soup. It looked quite plentiful, about as much as two porcelain bowls, and the two large chicken legs were particularly conspicuous.
Ouyang directly gave the al money to Aunt Wang—60 yuan, but because it tasted good, he added 10 more.
If Bai Zhi were here, she would only say one thing, “You big fool! Who do you think Aunt Wang is? Even from a candy rooster, she could pluck so sugar.”
What candy rooster? It’s sothing sweet, usually just sticks and doesn’t drop anything. Generally speaking, it’s used to describe soone who is extrely stingy.
So, the fact that one could get sugar from a candy rooster, how could they be simple? Considering Ouyang thought that two porcelain bowls were a lot and that all parts of the chicken were there—the legs, wings, and feet—he felt it was worth it.
But he didn’t think about the large amount of potatoes. Aren’t their chickens at least ten kilograms each here? So, a basinful would actually be normal, right?
Now, Aunt Wang’s family was joyfully eating the potato chicken stew, the at all pri cuts. Her husband, sipping his liquor, gave a thumbs-up to Aunt Wang. Renting the neighboring house to those two kids was really worth it. Just casually cooking als brought in almost 100 to 200 yuan a day, roughly an entire month’s inco for others. They didn’t even need to work anymore.
“Can you believe how foolish they are? Buying such expensive als?”
Drinking too much tends to hit hard. And that was just what Uncle Wang was starting to feel.
“They have nowhere else to spend their money. Don’t worry about it; as long as they pay. It’s just a al, and from now on, our family will have no worries about food and drink. Could you drink and eat at every day before?”
That would have been utterly extravagant, and now, just by renting out the house, they were earning hundreds, plus the food expenses. Their family was about to strike it rich.
Ouyang casually ate a bit and couldn’t eat any more. There was a lot of food left, so he simply covered it up to save for Moh Li.
Not long after, Moh Li returned, carrying so honeysuckle and other herbs, still without any seven-leafed Solomon’s-seal.
“Back already? Hurry and eat. Didn’t find it, did you?”
“Yeah.” Moh Li simply responded, hurried back to his room to change clothes, then started to eat.
Seeing the chicken stew with potatoes wasn’t surprising; his cousin always wanted the best, so his food naturally had to be good too.
“This chicken is not bad, I saved you half. You wouldn’t have guessed, right? Two bowls worth, plus a dish and a soup. Back in Pucheng City, this would have cost over a hundred, but here it’s only 60, really cheap…”
“Cough, cough, cough.”
Hearing Ouyang’s words, Moh Li choked. Cheap?
Cheap? He had inquired about the prices; chicken was only six yuan per kilogram, wasn’t this about a kilogram? Plus the potatoes were just a few cents a kilogram. Adding in the cost of cooking, couldn’t it all be under 20 yuan?
“Cousin, this price is a bit high.”
Though he didn’t want to remind him, it still had to be said. Whether Ouyang listened was his own business.
“It’s okay, I know, but it’s much lower compared to Pucheng, it doesn’t matter. We are not short of money. If we really want to, we could cook it ourselves. We just don’t know how.”
Ouyang waved his hands indifferently, finding it too troubleso to do otherwise.
After that, Moh Li stopped talking. Ouyang was used to it by now since his cousin wasn’t much of a talker.
“When do you think we’ll return? This seven-leafed Solomon’s-seal is nowhere to be found. Why did Grandpa insist we co here to find it? Wouldn’t other places have good quality too?”
Ouyang truly couldn’t understand why they had to travel to such a remote place when other areas also had good quality.
“I don’t know.”
