Bai Zhi suddenly thought of the two bags of potatoes sent by Li Cheng and Wu Jiang early this morning. It seemed like, he failed to steal the potatoes and he broke his leg… …
This is retribution!
Bai Zhi asked with a smile: "You treated him, aren't you afraid that they will not pay you back?"
Doctor Lu laughed: “Of course, I am afraid, so I proposed to them to give the money first before I give the treatment. That old lady refused at first. Then, I heard she went to your niang to ask for money. Your niang didn't give them any, so she falsely accused your niang of beating her and tried blackmailing her. In the end, Village Chief Li found out that they were lying. The Bai Family is forced to spend money. They gave me 2 silver coins."
Bai Zhi's face suddenly sank: "Is my niang alright?"
Doctor Lu waved his hand: “Nothing happens to her. There is Village Chief, and Awu, who you brought back from the town. There are also many workers in the construction site. What can the old lady do?"
Bai Zhi nodded her head, this was also why she dared to leave the village with peace of mind. With these people, the Bai Family can't do anything.

Back in the Hu Family, as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Village Chief Li talking to Hu Changlin. The two of them were smiling as if they were talking something interesting.
“Hu Bo, Li Bo, what are you talking about? It must be interesting!” Bai Zhi stepped forward and greeted the two.
When Village Chief saw Bai Zhi, he immediately waved his hand: "Zhi'er, your back. Come over here, I have something to tell you."
Bai Zhi came over and asked: "So, your waiting for me?"
Village Chief Li laughed and said: “Naturally, I am waiting for you, but I haven't waited for a long time. I just came here. The case is, I learned about Awu's situation today. They are really pitiful, but they can't live like this. The house, you and your niang is staying is not big. You also have a bed, how can four people sleep in there?"
Bai Zhi asked: "Does Li Bo have an idea?"
The more he talked to this little girl, the more he finds her smart and sensible.
“I have an idea in mind. You know that in our family, only me and my wife live together now. My son and daughter-in-law separated from us, so we have a vacant room in our house. And because it was vacant, I am thinking to let Awu and his family lived in there. You will have space again in your house and Awu and his family can live comfortably. Living together is what matter the most, right?"
Bai Zhi's heart sank. Village Chief Li is now old, his sons were all married now, but nobody takes good care of him. Although they lived comfortable, the couple were lonely. He must have heard Awu had a child. In this old age, which elder doesn't like to hear children playing around noisily, right?
“Alright, this is good for everyone. I will tell to Awu that I will rent your room."
Village Chief Li hurriedly waved his hand: “No, no, I'm not planning to let them rent the room. I just want to lend them room to live, you don't need to give me money."
Bai Zhi shook her head: “This can’t be done. Li Bo, your son, and daughter-in-law also lived in this village. If they learned that you let people lived and eat freely in your home, what would they think?"
Seeing that Village Chief Li understood her meaning, Bai Zhi continued to say: "Since you want Awu's family to live comfortably. We shouldn't let other people feel unhappy about such a small matter, right, Li Bo?"
Village Chief Li sighed and nodded his head: "What you say is true, I didn't think about it before." His son was a good person, but his daughter-in-law was mean.
