Chapter 587: Honorable Young Lady
There were two buns left on the small table. It must have been left for Bai Zhenzhu. Mrs. Liu took the buns and went out.
Bai Dazhu stopped her: “Where are you going?”
Mrs. Liu looked back at him and said slowly: “Niang said she didn’t eat enough. I’ll take these buns to her.”
Bai Dazhu immediately glared his eyes: “What are you talking about?”
Mrs. Liu sneered: “Why? Why not? At this moment, you suddenly have a compa.s.sionate heart? Don’t forget, Bai Erzhu also crawled out of the old lady’s belly. If she knew this, do you think she will spare you?”
How can Bai Dazhu not understand it? But after all, the old lady gave birth to him and treated him well all the time, which made him hesitate and feel uncomfortable.
Mrs. Liu asked: “Have you thought about it?”
Bai Dazhu said nothing.
Mrs. Liu said: “Then I’ll go.”
Bai Dazhu still didn’t make a sound, but didn’t stop her either and just lowered his head.
Mrs. Liu’s sneered: So what if she’s your mother? In the end, she’s not worth the glory.
Mrs. Liu went and brought the two meat buns to the old lady’s room.
Old Lady Bai was very happy. She was in a hurry to eat braised pork meat, so she only took a bun. However, when she wanted to eat more, the buns were all gone. She hasn’t eaten enough yet.
Mrs. Liu watched the old lady eat the buns, vomit blood, and fell unconscious, but her heart was very calm. There was no emotion in her eyes at all. She thought killing people was very difficult, but it was unexpectedly simple.
When Bai Dazhu ignited the house, he called Bai Dabao and Bai Xiaofeng, and then pulled out Mrs. Liu and Bai Zhenzhu. A group of people rushed out of the house and ran desperately out of the village.
When she reached the entrance of the village, Bai Zhenzhu turned around. She saw smoke coming out to the direction of their house. Bai Zhenzhu immediately realized something. She pushed Mrs. Liu aside and said: “M father and mother are still inside. I’m going back to save them.”
Mrs. Liu rushed forward and held her down: “Are you crazy? You can’t go back now, don’t you want to be an honorable young lady?”
Bai Zhenzhu panicked. She wanted to be a n.o.ble young miss, but she didn’t want her father and mother to be burned to death.
She said with red eyes: “Aunt, why did you set a fire? Isn’t it enough to give them some drugs so that we can smoothly leave? Why did you still set up a fire?”
Mrs. Liu replied: “I didn’t set the fire. Maybe the fire in the kitchen stove wasn’t extinguished correctly, which caused the fire. How could we set the fire?”
Bai Zhenzhu’s brain was in chaos. She doesn’t know whether she should believe her or not. She wanted to save her father and mother, but she doesn’t want to give up the chance to be a n.o.ble young miss. What should she do? What should she do?
Bai Dazhu stepped forward and held Bai Zhenzhu’s wrist: “What are you two still talking about? If we fail to catch up and Pei Daren left, we can only beg to make a living now that we don’t have a house. Is that the life you want?”
Bai Dazhu and Mrs. Liu took Bai Zhenzhu away. Bai Zhenzhu didn’t struggle anymore. She let them take her away. She looked back from time to time, so she saw the black smoke getting thicker and thicker. She knew that her father, mother, and younger brother cannot live anymore.
Is this the price Pei Daren talking about?
Before you can get something, you have to pay some price. Is this the price?
When the villagers saw that the Bai family’s house was on fire, they rushed to help altogether. They were very courageous. When the fire was not too strong, they rushed in to find the people inside. They saw Bai Erzhu and his family lying on the floor. The smoke inside was still thick, so they immediately got the people out.
