Chapter 768: Chapter 716
Bai Zhi frowned, completely unexpecting Bai Fei to say such a thing.
It was as if…
“Bai Fei, Xingxing is coming ho with for dinner.”
Bai Xiang imdiately ca over, grabbed Bai Fei, and left. Bai Zhi also locked the door and followed them.
Han Feng and Han Sheng watched their figures until they disappeared down the path.
“Han Feng, is anyone around? If not, let’s get to it…”
Han Sheng spoke up, eyeing this once-in-a-lifeti opportunity. Just as Bai Zhi had left, how could they know if there was anything worth finding without going in to look?
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Han Feng didn’t resist, and went over to try and unlock the Bai Family’s door.
But with a re piece of wire, the lock was easily opened.
Han Sheng looked at the gate, which was nothing special, after all.
Yet at that mont, Bai Zhi doubled back, trapping them at the doorway.
“Grandpa Han, can you explain why you are in my family’s yard?”
Such impatience, to the extent of doing sothing so rash.
Fat Aunt happened to co back with Bai Zhi to get so beef sauce.
She had previously received a jar from Bai Zhi, which she gave to her child, but never expected the child to find it so delicious that she had no choice but to buy so from Bai Zhi.
Who knew that upon arrival, she would catch Han Feng and Han Sheng in the act of picking the lock?
This made Fat Aunt extrely angry; how bold they were to do such a thing in broad daylight.
“What are you trying to do, picking the lock like this? Han Feng, have you lost your conscience to a dog?”
Han Sheng never expected to be caught red-handed and swung a slap at Han Feng.
“What’s the matter with you, kid? I was just pulling him away, and he actually tried to enter your house…”
Bai Zhi watched this scene but laughed.
“Grandpa Han, everyone knows that Han Feng was burnt out before. But that doesn’t an you are burnt out too.
Ever heard of ‘burying one’s head in the sand’? That’s exactly what you are doing right now.”
To think he could still say such things, and Han Feng quietly stood behind him without uttering a word.
“You’re being unreasonable, child. I was pulling Han Feng, who’s a fool. Don’t you know that?”
Bai Zhi felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart as she listened to him. To think it was Han Feng who was being manipulated.
“I don’t know?” Bai Zhi’s face darkened as she skillfully picked up the lock, fixed it, and placed it back at the gate.
“If Grandpa Han really wanted to see my place, you could’ve just said so; I certainly would’ve let you in. But making Han Feng pick the lock, that wasn’t nice.”
Bai Zhi sneered, speaking flatly to Han Sheng as if Han Feng was not the issue.
Of course, she had people enter with her.
“Grandpa Han, if you don’t take a look today, you might not get another chance. I’ll be setting rat traps around the house. If anything happens to you guys, I won’t be responsible.”
Bai Zhi’s words infuriated Han Sheng. Her straight-shooting manner left no face for Han Sheng and blocked all his exits.
“Bai Zhi is right, you need to put things up for defense; otherwise, how can you know if it’s a person or an animal that’s entering?”
Fat Aunt was also quite skilled at tossing insults. Han Sheng left, fuming with anger.
Bai Zhi relocked the door and went to Great Grandpa’s house.
Bai Fei was scowling as he spoke with Great Grandpa.
“Great Grandpa, Xingxing is too much, actually driving Auntie away. This is Auntie’s ho too, how can she act like this?”
Bai Fei was still angry about what had just happened.
“And I don’t know what got into her today. She even argued with Han Feng’s grandpa; she was really too much…”
Bai Fei truly felt that Bai Zhi was excessive today; the things she said and did were all over the top.
“Oh?”
Great Grandpa’s gaze upon Bai Fei was deep and inscrutable, as if he harbored hidden thoughts.
“And that’s not all, those hurtful things she said about ‘once you marry off a daughter, it’s like pouring water out of the house.’
Auntie is even pregnant…”
While Bai Xin was rightly upset and concerned for Bai Xin, at this mont, Bai Zhi felt as if there was a great distance between them.
Bai Zhi believed that her unusual behavior was understood not just by her aunt but also by her uncle, and Bai Xiang as well.
“I understand, go help your grandma. Don’t wander around these next couple of days.”
It seems that person couldn’t wait any longer.
“Great Grandpa.”
Bai Zhi walked in, and Bai Fei glared at her fiercely.
Bai Zhi pretended she didn’t see it.
“Great Grandpa, just now Han Feng was prying the door at my house.”
After saying this, Bai Zhi was ready to go back, “I’m not at ease with the house, so I’m going back now. You all be careful too.”
“Xingxing, wait a mont.”
Bai Xiang went inside then ca back out, holding two plates of at.
“Eat your al before you go.”
No matter what happened, you always need to eat.
“After all, I’m here too.” You’re not alone.
Bai Zhi of course knew she wasn’t alone, she even had Great Grandpa and the entire Bai Family.
But everyone had their own duties, their own things they must protect.
“Okay, I understand.”
Bai Zhi had so food and then went back. As soon as she left, she saw Bai Guang with a stern face.
Bai Zhi knew then, soone had made their move.
Because the task Bai Guang was in charge of was guarding the rear mountain of Bai Family Village.
However, they did not stop anyone, anyone who wanted to enter could do so.
They simply couldn’t find the path to the thatched hut.
At most, they would find the Herb Garden, which surrounded the thatched hut.
Even if they managed to find it, they still had no right to enter.
Unless they wanted to be caught, considering the Herb Garden was a cooperation between Old Han and the state.
One month ago, Old Han had already requested people to guard it, because this year’s herbs needed to be harvested.
Even so, Bai Guang couldn’t feel happy, because soone was about to act.
“Xingxing, don’t go back ho today.”
Bai Guang didn’t want Bai Zhi to use herself as bait. Their every action was tied to many things now.
“Don’t worry, Uncle, I need to roast a pig’s head tomorrow for the New Year’s Eve dinner.”
Today Han Sheng definitely wouldn’t act, but he would definitely be suspicious.
Bai Zhi returned ho and began to slowly make preparations, she wanted to make use of the courtyard as well.
Until late into the night, there was still no movent, so Bai Zhi prepared to go back and rest.
Just then, soone jumped into the yard.
Bai Zhi clearly heard a muffled grunt, probably caught by the mouse trap.
The noise quickly ceased.
Bai Zhi walked out with her flashlight.
“Who’s there?”
But she didn’t see anyone and directly turned around to go into her room.
“Did I see that wrong?”
The person hurriedly tried to climb back over the wall, but because of his nerves, he accidentally fell from the top of the wall right into a pile of mouse traps.
“Ow!”
This ti he couldn’t hold back and cried out loud.
“Brother Han Feng, it’s you?”
Bai Zhi’s voice rose with surprise, as if she couldn’t believe it.
But she imdiately raised her voice to call attention, “Catch the thief!”
“I can’t believe I was once so good to you, and now you’re here stealing, covered in injuries. Just know that I won’t take any responsibility.”
