Chapter 551: Chapter 551 Retribution
"Song, don’t make eyes at Bai Xiao, you think I can’t tell? Be honest, was there something inappropriate about where you went?" Li Chunhua, with age, had become quite shrewd and felt something was off.
Bai Xiao clashing with her was one thing, but Bai Xiao truly cared about her siblings with all her heart.
This type of irritable temperament didn’t seem to be just about being capricious.
Bai Song quickly said with a smile, "Grandma, not at all! Nothing like that!" He added a chopstick-full of braised beef to the plate in front of the old lady. "Grandma, this beef is really tasty, very tender, suitable for your teeth. Come on, eat up before it gets cold."
Li Chunhua glanced at Bai Xiao suspiciously, seeing that Bai Xiao said nothing, she still felt uneasy, "Song, why don’t you consider changing your profession? You’re not young anymore, and after changing jobs, you should get married and have children. You are the only child of your parents, if you don’t marry and have children, I will be too ashamed to face your parents down below." No matter what, Li Chunhua believed marrying was never wrong.
Bai Yue also said, "Yeah, Song, actually there are a few nice girls that sister knows, why not let me introduce you to them? Changing jobs doesn’t interfere with dating, right?"
Bai Ju was also advising.
"Yes, Song, you’re not getting any younger, how can you keep dragging your feet? If nothing else works, find someone back in the village, our rural girls are also good, many are pretty and capable, I’ll go matchmaking for you. There’s also no shortage of women workers in our factory, maybe we can introduce you to someone too, you can’t delay such an important matter as marriage."
Now, Bai Song had no escape.
"Well, I need to use the restroom!" He quickly made his escape.
Bai Xiao was amused by his eldest brother.
The whole family was amused.
The typical thin-skinned appearance of Bai Song was really unlike his usually composed demeanor.
"Grandma, since you have come this time, why not stay here permanently, what’s so good about that rural home? Just stay here peacefully with us, it’s livelier with more people," Bai Yue said to Li Chunhua, who seemed to have aged a lot over the past year.
Seeing Li Chunhua’s graying hair and stooped body, Bai Yue and the others felt a bit heartbroken, no matter how wrongly Li Chunhua had acted in the past, in their hearts, she was still their dear grandma. They couldn’t remain indifferent to the bonding of blood relations.
Li Chunhua coldly huffed, "You wish, I definitely need to go back. Your second uncle is eager for me not to return, so he can mess with the house and seize it. Wu Xiaoyue just gave birth to a boy, and the couple is feeling very self-important now. Wu Xiaoyue is inciting Bai Zhuang to go out to work together."
"Let me tell you, Yue, if Bai Zhuang wants to come here to work, you must not accept him. Wu Xiaoyue is no good, always eying your shop, and if they really came, it would only cause trouble. Don’t make things uncomfortable for yourself."
Bai Yue laughed, "Grandma, rest assured, my second uncle and we have long cut off relations, we sure won’t deal with those thankless people, haven’t we had enough flattery?" As she said this, the whole table fell silent.
Because these words implied a criticism of Li Chunhua herself.
Li Chunhua laughed, "Don’t be afraid, the only black mark on my conscience in this life is this one mistake. People say, as man does, heaven watches, this is true. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have experienced how your second uncle treated me, this is called retribution."
"I ask for nothing else, just that you all live well and have everything go smoothly. Then I can consider my life redeemed. I won’t be a burden to you. I’m still in good health, I have known neighbors and friends to talk to in the village, I’m not comfortable here."
Li Chunhua was always unwilling to relent and stay with Bai Yue and Bai Song.
