Bai Xin’s words left Mu Yi speechless. He didn’t even know how to begin explaining for his mom and sister.
"And Xinxin, you had a huge fight with them, too, making Mumu cry.
They’re no match for you in an argument."
The situation was more than just a mess; Bai Xin had directly stabbed at their hearts.
She told her mom that she simply wouldn’t have children, not in her lifetime, and they might as well divorce if they could.
To her sister, she said, with her being as fat as a pig, she could forget about getting married in this lifetime.
"All I did was speak the truth and be rational. What do you know? Just go, I won’t come back. Xingxing is still not well; I need to look after her. From now on, she’s my daughter, and I don’t want to have any more children. Mu Yi, search your conscience and think about whether I’ve ever considered not having children. Get lost; just seeing you annoys me."
Bai Xin got up to leave, ready to go back and collect her things to wash. She had a lot to do since they were being discharged from the hospital in a couple of days.
"Xinxin, when are you guys getting out? I’ll come pick you up then."
Seeing Bai Xin’s determination, Mu Yi had no choice but to speak up, helplessly. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stay, but he was just too busy managing the sundry shop’s myriad tasks.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t disappointed; she had thought that maybe his coming here meant he truly cared about her again, especially since he was willing to leave his rundown sundry shop. But now she realized...
She had thought too much; even his half-day visit was already more than enough. But what did half a day prove, really?
Before Bai Xin went back, she even bought some ice-lollies. Even though the weather had turned cold, who says you can’t have ice-lollies? Of course, Bai Zhi didn’t get any.
Bai Zhi watched the three of them each enjoy an ice-lolly, despising them with her gaze countless times.
On the day of discharge, the weather was nice, and the temperature pleasant. Bai Zhi was wheeled out of the hospital and rode back in Bai Guang’s car.
Although she was recovering well, she still needed acupuncture treatment, and there was a lot of rehabilitation waiting for her upon returning home.
Bai Zhi would take a leave of absence from school and take the exams directly next year.
Wu Wa and Bai Fei were naturally envious of her.
Bai Dan and Old Han had gone back early, cleaning the inside and outside of the house. They would close the breakfast business; Bai Zhi hadn’t expected Bai Xiang to care, but it turns out he sold out all the whitening and blemish-reducing soap.
Moreover, he’d written a letter of gratitude.
Seeing their car appear in the village, Bai Xiang was itching to run out and tell them.
They were about to strike it rich.
Soon, they would have an endless stream of small money flying toward them. The only problem they had was,
I have so much small money, but I don’t know how to spend it.
When Bai Xiang saw Bai Zhi get out of the car, he dashed over, only to be blocked by Wu Wa.
"Wu Wa, move aside. I’ve got something very important to tell Bai Zhi."
Bai Xiang was desperately anxious; they’d sold all the stock at home and even the shampoo, making a tidy profit. They were on the cusp of prosperity.
He had already planned it; once they made a bit more, he would collaborate with his dad to start a soap factory.
"What’s there to talk about? Can’t you see Ah Zhi needs her rest? Believe me, I’ll beat you up."
Wu Wa clenched her fist, causing Bai Xiang to feel a bit weary inside. Yet seeing her plump little hands, he reluctantly took a step back.
"I’m your boss, you don’t treat me ! Aren’t you afraid I’ll cut your pay?"
Bai Xiang protested, then it immediately dawned on him. Right, he’s the boss. Why should he be afraid of Wu Wa?
"Not afraid at all. I can find a new boss, but there’s only one Ah Zhi. Are they the same?"
Don’t think she doesn’t understand. Ah Zhi is the most important. Bai Xiang is just slightly important.
