After a while, Old Lady Bai locked the silver coins into her box, then took some pieces of copper. She called Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang and then they went to the cabin house where Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi lived.

At this hour, the sky was now completely dark, Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi went early to bed. The mother and daughter were chatting when suddenly, they heard a knocking sound on the door. Then, Mrs. Liu’s unique and unpleasant voice sounded.

“Zhao Lan, this is your sister-in-law, open the door.”

You’re claiming to be my mother’s sister-in-law? Oh my, I’m afraid it’s only a weasel paying a New Year call to a chicken!

Bai Zhi opened her mouth and said: “My mother is sleeping, if you have something to say, say it tomorrow.”

Mrs. Liu was so dizzy in hunger, she can’t wait until tomorrow, she needs foods right away.

“Zhi’er, it’s alright if your mother is sleeping, I also came to talk to you, open the door.” They could hear it, Zhao Lan was not talking inside the cabin.

Bai Zhi replied: “I am also sleepy, and I have nothing to say to you, just go.”

Old Lady Bai couldn’t keep her mouth shut, she reached her limit: “Bai Zhi, do you have to do this? Your elders came, but not only you didn’t show respect by serving tea, but you also can’t even open the door? Is this what your niang teaching you?”

Bai Zhi was still lying in the bed, she has no intention to get up at all, there was even a trace of ridicule on her smile: “Yes, this is what my niang teach me every day. She said, respect the people who are good and true to you. I think it has a good point. However, if people are bad to me, I shouldn’t treat them bad, but I should stay away from them. And that’s what I’m doing.”

Old Lady Bai was trembling in anger. This Bai Zhi’s tongue was getting more and more powerful. Why didn’t realized before that she has such ability?

Mrs. Liu cleared her throat and said: “Bai Zhi, you are too much, do you have to talk to your grandmother like this? Open the door and apologize to your grandmother.”

Bai Zhi almost burst to laughter: “Who is my grandmother? I and niang only have each other in the family. I don’t have a grandmother. Did you come to the wrong place and talking to the wrong person?”

Old Lady Bai released a deep breath: “Are you going to open the door or not? If not, I’m going to smash it.”

Bai Zhi suddenly sat up, her face sank by three points: “If you want to smash it, then smashed it. If your Bai Family has a lot of money, then smash our house. If you smashed our house, I’ll definitely make you pay. If you understand it clearly, then do it.”

As soon as she heard the words that she will pay, Old Lady Bai’s hand, that was touching the door became soft. She didn’t dare to take a shot. She was afraid to break it and lose money… … If it was like before, she would not be scared of this kind of threat, but now it was different. That dead girl, Bai Zhi and Meng Nan have a good relationship. If she invited him again, her old bone’s wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Old Lady Bai didn’t break the door, her voice even became soft. She said to Bai Zhi across the door: “Zhi’er, your uncle encountered robbers today and was beaten into a pulp. The silver coins he has was robbed by those robbers. He suffered heavy injuries. The family has no money to ask a doctor to treat him. Not to mention, we don’t have any rice at home. Zhi’er, you can’t just ignore this matter.”

Bai Zhi coldly sneered and said: “Why can’t I? And why are you telling me these things? Is it my fault that Bai Dazhu got hurt? Is it my fault that you have no rice at home? What does it have to do with me?”
