Hearing Bai Zhi’s words, Old Mrs. Mu finally let go of Mu Yu’s hand.
"Cough cough cough..." Mu Yu felt extremely uncomfortable; she had genuinely just experienced the sensation of death.
It was too unbearable, unable to breathe.
"My girl, are you alright, are you alright, don’t scare me, I didn’t do it on purpose."
Old Mrs. Mu glared at Bai Zhi fiercely; it was this girl, it was her...
"It was you, spouting nonsense, that made me accidentally smother my girl, I’m going to fight you."
Old Mrs. Mu said as she made to rush at Bai Zhi, but Aunt Niu immediately pulled Bai Zhi to one side.
"Try touching my niece and see what happens?"
Bai Guang’s furious roar came from behind; Bai Guang and Bai Xin had returned.
Bai Guang had run into Bai Xin on the way back and had brought her home with him.
Old Mrs. Mu hesitated upon hearing this, seeing Bai Guang’s fierce approach, she chickened out.
Bai Xin’s face was dark as well, her gaze coldly fixed on them.
"What is this, bullying Xingxing while I’m not here? Did they bully you, Xingxing?"
Everyone: "..." Bai Zhi was formidable today.
"Definitely not. When I arrived, these two were kicking at the door so fiercely that Bai Zhi surely wouldn’t dare to open it."
Bai Zhi hadn’t spoken yet when Aunt Niu took the initiative.
Bai Guang raised his fists, ready to fight, but Old Mrs. Mu had already run away.
"We did nothing, I was just kicking the door. Bai Xin, speaking of you, my son has given you so much respect, why are you still at your parents’ place, don’t you know to go back? If you don’t want to be with my son anymore, then get lost early and make room for him."
This was her purpose for coming today; her son said, apologize to Bai Xin, what’s there to apologize for? What was Bai Xin anyway?
For so many years, not a single child, and still she couldn’t manage their little household, she had long been unwilling to endure, just wanting her gone.
"You should tell that to your son." Bai Xin replied with a cold smile, looking impassively at Old Mrs. Mu.
"What do you mean, you actually don’t want to be with my son? Why not? My son is all good, unlike you who don’t know how to cook, don’t know how to care for your in-laws or sister-in-law, and just know how to dress up flamboyantly for work every day. My son hasn’t disliked you, and you still have complaints?"
Upon hearing that Bai Xin showed no sign of anger or fear, Old Mrs. Mu couldn’t accept it and spoke out immediately.
"My sister, why should she take care of you and your sister-in-law? It was Mu Yi who begged my sister to marry him, have you forgotten?"
Bai Guang spoke with a dark face, as if thinking that their family had no one to stand up for them.
"You all...you’re bullying with numbers, just you wait..."
Old Mrs. Mu, pulling her daughter, ran off, with Mu Yu obediently following but with a preoccupied mind...
"Thank you, everyone, for helping our Xingxing. Come inside and have some water."
Bai Xin addressed everyone; today, she shouldn’t have left Xingxing alone at home.
"It’s nothing, we’re all from the same village. It’s alright, we’ll be off then."
In fact, the others were somewhat embarrassed to say this because Bai Zhi’s ability to fend for herself was enough to make Old Mrs. Mu cry.
Indeed, even a cornered rabbit will bite.
Only Aunt Niu took a deep breath, taking Bai Xin’s hand.
"Bai Xin, Bai Zhi really cares for you, her aunt. You don’t know, she just tore into them, her eyes were red with anger. You should treat her well in the future, I’m leaving."
Aunt Niu truly felt that Bai Zhi, the child, was so dutiful; she had been pushed to such a state for her aunt.
"Sister Niu, I know. Please, sit for a while; you always help me take care of Xingxing, thank you."
