Mrs. Liu almost faint in anger. She wanted to move forward, but her heart has scruples. She didn’t dare to be impulsive. So, she only pointed her finger at Bai Zhi and scolded: “You damned unlucky star. Do you still put your elders to your eyes? Is this how your Niang taught you? To answer back your elders?”
“My Niang taught me a lot of things. She taught me that if I want to be loved, I should respect my elders. I didn’t understand it before. I thought as long as I respect my elders, the elders will love me back. But now I understand, that even if I respect my elders, it can’t be guaranteed that my elders will love me back. In that case, why should I respect my elders again?”
“In the past, my Niang and I worked like a horse for the Bai Family. Only the two of us worked inside and outside the house. While all of you, only doing nothing but order us. Whenever its time to eat, you ran faster than the rabbits. But when it’s time to work, you move slower than the turtles. Even so, you never treated me and my Niang like a family. You only let us eat what is left by you. You only give us rag clothes, that you could no longer wear. Even if we are sick, you don’t let us receive treatment. When our house collapsed, you didn’t give us a place to stay. So speaking of a white-eyed wolf, I think it is I and my mother raised a lot of white-eyed wolves all these years.”
Bai Zhi suddenly spits out a lot of words. She talks very fast, but her words were very clear to understand. So, Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu couldn’t utter a word.
Bai Zhi took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. Then, she only added: “My Niang is badly hurt. If there is nothing else, it’s still better not to bother us. If my mother got sick again, you will not only be owed Lu Dafu 6 silver coins.”
When Bai Zhi mentioned the 6 silver coins, Old Lady Bai’s chest felt in pain. She pointed her finger at Bai Zhi and scolded back: “We owed 6 silver coins? If it weren’t for you, would we end up in this situation? This debt is what you owed. Remember this old lady’s words.”
Bai Zhi softly sneered: “What? Didn’t you just say, everything should be shared in the Bai Family? How come you forgot it so soon? Good things should be shared, but the bad things should not?”
“Dead girl, stop talking nonsense with me. You should pay this 6 silver coins, I will not help you to pay it back.” Old Lady Bai shouted and pulled Mrs. Liu back into the big house. Then she slammed hard the door as if the door has offended her.

As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the door, Mrs. Liu pulled Old Lady Bai and said: “Niang, didn’t you noticed that bitch seemed to have changed? Her mouth is completely different from before.”
Old Lady Bai didn’t give Mrs. Liu a good look: “Do you still need to say these words? Do you think I don’t have eyes? But what if she changed? She’s still a member of the Bai Family. We shouldn’t wait any longer. You go to the Baiyang Village tomorrow. Look for someone who wanted to marry and take her away as soon as possible. I don’t want to see her another day.”
Mrs. Liu was very delighted. As long as that bitch was sold, her son Bai Dabao could get married. There will also be money for Bai Xiaofeng’s tuition fee for the next year. Most of all, she could get rid of that torn in her eyes.
Bai Xiaofeng finished his homework and entered the house. When he entered the house, he heard the dialogue between his grandmother and mother. So, he asked: “Grandmother, Niang, who are you talking about? Is it Bai Zhi?”
When Old Lady Bai saw her baby grandson, her anger immediately eased by three points. She laughed and said: “Don’t worry. Grandmother will take good care of it. You only need to study hard.”
Bai Xiaofeng shook his head: “No, no, you can’t get rid of Bai Zhi. If you get rid of her, who will go with me to the school? Who will serve me food and fan me?”
Old Lady Bai busily said: “I will go with you. I will do all those things for you later on, okay?”
Bai Xiaofeng's shook his head: “No, you can’t. There’s no old lady doing those things. I want a young maidservant.”
