Zhao Lan answered: “My hand will be cured soon. Lu Dafu was forced to bluff in front of the Bai Family. Otherwise, those people will not allow us to separate.”
This thing shouldn’t be said at this point in time, but Zhao Lan had already mentioned it. So, Bai Zhi had to open her mouth too: “Li Bo, this matter, please keep it a secret. If the Bai Family learned this, they will definitely make a ruckus. We don’t care about what they will do to us, but we’re afraid they will blame Lu Dafu for this and use this opportunity to forget their account to him.”
Village Chief Li nodded his head again and again: “I understand, rest a.s.sured, this thing will rot in my stomach. I will say nothing.” Village Chief Li laughed up straight, the last worry in his heart had disappeared.
After a long talk, Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi took their things and went to the cabin. When they opened the door, the two of them was stunned by the scene inside.
The cabin house was no longer the former cabin house. The sundries that had been piled up inside has all been cleared out. There was now a bed in the room. The bed has new bedding and two embroidered pillows. A small window was newly built on the wall, and a curtain was hanging on it.
In the corner, there was a two-story shelf with two new basins and a dressing table. There was also a bronze mirror on it. Although it was not exquisite, it made Zhao Lan cried in excitement.
Everyone knew that when she married Bai Sanzhu, she didn’t experience such good treatment. She didn’t even had a new bed during their wedding.
Not to mention, after Bai Sanzhu died, she and her daughter didn’t even saw a bronze mirror.
It was just a few simple types of furniture, but Zhao Lan’s tears couldn’t stop.
Living in such a room made her feel like she was a person!
Hu Feng, who was carrying a bucket of water walked towards the cabin house. In there, he saw tears on Zhao Lan’s face but she was laughing, while Bai Zhi was calmly comforting her mother. Hu Feng put down the bucket and said to Bai Zhi: “You cook the dinner, the pheasants are already been chopped.”
Bai Zhi turned to look at Hu Feng, a tall figure was standing at the door. Against the light, she couldn’t see the expression on his face, but she could clearly feel his goodwill.
“Hu Feng, thank you.”
Hu Feng swept his eyes to the newly-built things in the house, he bought every one of them.
Thinking about their previous living environment, he naturally understood the current mood of the mother and child.
“These things are bought with the money you earned. You don’t have to thank me, I only used some strength.” Hu Feng said calmly.
“Thank you, it’s not like, everyone is willing to give strength towards us.”
There were many people in the village who sympathize with them, but they only used their mouth at most. They secretly condemn the Bai Family, but who actually lend them a hand?
Hu Feng stared at Bai Zhi’s eyes and small face, her eyes were like stars that brightly shines in the night: “If you really want to thank me, then do a good job in today’s dinner. That will serve as your repayment to me.”
Bai Zhi suddenly smiled, her lips curved into a beautiful smile like a myrtle flower, revealing her white teeth: “I won’t let you down.”
When Hu Feng left, Bai Zhi brought the bucket of water towards her mother to wash her face: “Niang, look at you, if others see you like this, they will laugh at you.”
Zhao Lan smirked and laughed, her face was a bit glowing in red: “I want to die. Hu Feng has seen me. I don’t know what he thinks about me. It is really shameful.”
Bai Zhi helped Zhao Lan to wipe her face and also wiped her face. Then, she smiled and said: “Hu Feng had seen nothing. He is not a person who loves to talk. He will not think too much about it, you can rest a.s.sured.”
