Mu Yu felt aggrieved, her lips pouted and eyebrows knitted together, her entire face contorted into an ugly expression.
It was impossible for anyone to feel the slightest bit of pity; it was just awkward.
"I didn’t do anything wrong, why should I apologize? Isn’t it what you all said? You would protect me for life, and mom also said, everything in this house belongs to our family."
Mu Yu’s tears suddenly streamed down, blurring her features even more.
"That is your sister-in-law’s belongings. Besides, hitting her with the jewelry box was wrong, Mu Yu. You are no longer a child; don’t you understand this basic principle?"
Mu Yi’s face darkened, and he nearly raised his hand to hit her, but after all, she was his little sister, so he forbore.
"I don’t understand." Mu Yu cried and ran into her room. They had always told her everything at home belonged to her, but now they were telling her she was wrong, sorry, she couldn’t understand.
Mu Yi turned around, looking helplessly at Bai Xin. Bai Xin looked at him with gentleness, not blaming him but instead comforting him.
"It’s okay, don’t worry. She’s still young; we can teach her slowly. Shall we go cook?"
That gentle demeanor made Mu Yi feel slightly dazed, as if they had never argued.
Bai Xin had Mu Yi pick up the vegetables, and then they returned to the kitchen in their house.
Bai Guang was with Bai Zhi, about to head back home. Bai Zhi looked outside and spoke.
"Uncle, can you take me out to buy some candy? I want to eat some."
Bai Zhi held Bai Guang’s hand, gazing at him eagerly with large, hopeful eyes.
Bai Guang, seeing Bai Zhi act coquettishly for the first time, immediately agreed.
"Okay, Uncle will take you."
The duo exited the Mu Family’s courtyard and found many people standing at the entrance. Bai Zhi cheerfully greeted them.
"Hello, uncles, aunties, grandpas, grandmas."
Everyone laughed upon hearing this; the child was quite well-mannered.
"Hello there, going to buy candy? Just down there, not far, there’s a supply store. Go on."
"Okay, thank you, grandpa." Bai Zhi lifted her sweet smile, happily expressing her thanks.
Bai Guang took her to buy candy, and Bai Zhi saw a small river, insisting on checking for little fish.
Bai Guang agreed; the water wasn’t deep. Bai Zhi held Bai Guang’s hand and stepped into the water, laughing heartily.
Noticing no one was focusing on them anymore, Bai Zhi then spoke while holding Bai Guang’s hand.
Sure enough, there was cheerfulness in her eyes, from a distance, she still looked very happy?
"Uncle, Mu Yi has a woman outside, and they even have a child."
Bai Guang, hearing this from Bai Zhi, nearly sat down in the water. How could such talk be conceivable?
And, was this something a child should be saying?
How could she, just like that, so...
But her serious tone made it impossible for him not to pay attention.
"How do you know about this?"
She was just a child, she hadn’t gone out at all since she arrived. Where did she learn about this?
"Uncle, you just need to know this matter is true. Could I lie to you? Moreover, I even know the address, but I think there’s no need to rush, someone will be more anxious than us.
Aunt’s divorce is definite, but we also have to ruin their reputation, otherwise what’s the value of aunt’s many years of suffering?
Perhaps you think those rumors don’t hurt people, but they break hearts."
Men will never understand how much those gossips and rumors can hurt a girl’s feelings.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you say they don’t hurt? Our Bai family’s daughters can’t just be bullied . Tomorrow I’ll find someone, and then we’ll finish him off."
