Moh Li: "..." It doesn’t count? Actually, he was just telling the truth.
"I feel like you’re really just beating around the bush to insult me." How very impressive, how brutally efficient at hitting others, can’t even compliment properly, thumbs down.
"No, next question. Do you have any specific small habits..."
As they continued with one asking and the other answering, the morning soon passed, and Moh Li got ready to head down the mountain to collect the goods.
"Tell Grandpa Bai that I won’t attend training for the next couple of days. Bai Tian, you come teach me."
Moh Li’s investigation continued. It wasn’t entirely for Bai Zhi’s sake; he was also doing it for himself.
"Okay," Bai Zhi nodded.
"I’ll walk you back."
Moh Li didn’t wait for Bai Zhi’s response and took her back, just as they returned to the study. That’s when they heard someone kicking the door, with quite some force at that.
Bai Zhi frowned slightly, and Moh Li glanced over. "Do you need me to stay and help?"
"No need, you go back."
Bai Zhi shook her head. It wasn’t appropriate for Moh Li to be there now. Not to mention his own plans, even Grandpa and the others didn’t intend to let everyone know about Moh Li’s connection to them.
After making sure Bai Zhi didn’t need help, Moh Li finally descended from the cellar but didn’t leave.
Bai Zhi stood up on her own and stepped into the courtyard. Bai Xin wasn’t there; she had gone out to deliver goods.
After several days, she finally finished a piece and planned to take it to a friend’s place to sell and see if it would sell.
Bai Zhi walked slowly, so the person kicking the door was clearly getting impatient.
"Bai Xin, you open this door for your mother, my son coming to pick you up is a huge honor for you, and now you still want to climb to the heavens?"
Before Bai Zhi even opened the door, she could hear the shrew-like voice outside.
No need to guess, it must be Mu Yi’s mother, Old Mrs. Mu.
Now Bai Zhi didn’t feel like opening the door either and just sat down in the courtyard.
"Who is this, kicking people’s doors in broad daylight, have you no shame?"
Bai Zhi then heard Aunt Niu’s voice. Aunt Niu was awesome.
Just as Bai Zhi was about to open the door, she heard Aunt Niu’s astonished shout.
"My goodness, come and see, whose pig is this? Must weigh at least two hundred pounds."
What Aunt Niu referred to was Mu Yi’s sister, Mu Yu. To put it in Bai Xin’s words, she was simply too fat, and here with Aunt Niu it directly became a two-hundred-pound pig.
Bai Zhi hurriedly opened the door, still with a hint of fear.
"Aunt Niu, you’ve finally arrived. I’m so scared being alone at home. I didn’t dare to open the door because I was afraid of bad people wanting to sell me."
Who knows how long they had been knocking, but with this answer, there definitely wouldn’t be a problem. For a kid with poor health, it’s perfectly normal not to open the door, isn’t it?
As soon as Aunt Niu heard this, she immediately came to stand by Bai Zhi’s side. "That’s right, you can’t just open the door. Nowadays, you really can’t tell what sort of person might show up."
Mu Yu was the one who always couldn’t stand being called fat. Now, hearing Aunt Niu’s remark, she started crying loudly.
But her reaction time might have been a bit delayed.
Old Mrs. Mu immediately rolled up her sleeves as if she meant to have a fight with Aunt Niu.
"What do you mean by that? I’m here to see Bai Xin, she’s to be my daughter-in-law. Is it okay for her not to open the door? And what nonsense are you spewing from your mouth? My daughter isn’t fat; she’s blessed with good fortune."
Bai Zhi also looked over, good grief. Here I thought Nan Xi was the one blessed with good fortune, but it turns out this person has an excess of it. Saying two hundred pounds is an understatement; not to mention anything else, but doesn’t being that overweight make you feel tired just walking around?
"This good fortune of yours seems like it won’t fit for much longer. Being too fat can lead to health problems, so I suggest losing some weight." Bai Zhi meant this genuinely, for their own good.
But Mu Yu felt like Bai Zhi was mocking her and cried even louder.
