Chapter 256: Who is the thief?

When Bai Xiaofeng saw that his mother didn’t speak, he continued to say: “There are students in our school who have broken their legs. But now they can jump as if nothing happened at all.”

Bai Xiaofeng spoke with ease as if no one knows this truth. And only he, who’s studying know.

Old Lady Bai thought inside his heart. Last time, when Hu Feng broke Bai Dazhu’s arms, Doctor Lu cured his arms but asked for 2 silver coins each.

This time, he broke his legs. How much silver will it cost? Will the cost also 2 silver coins?

How much money will be left in her box? Will it be enough for Bai Xiofeng’s tuition fee, papers, and ink?

For her, Bai Xiaofeng’s schooling is the top priority. Other things are unnecessary.

She has been living a poor life. She was counting on Bai Xiofeng to give her a good future. Let her live a good life just like in her dreams.

Mrs. Liu winked at Bai Xiofeng and told him to repeat his words to the old lady. Old Lady Bai likes Bai Xiofeng and she listened to his words. If he spoke to the old lady, she will surely take out her money.

She doesn’t want her husband to be crippled. She wanted his legs to be cured.

Bai Xiaofeng naturally knows what to do. He walked closer to the old lady and said: “Grandma, please invite a doctor to cure my father. He must be in so much pain now, right?”

Old Lady Bai busily replied: “Of course, I will invite a doctor. It’s just, the sky is still dark. As soon as the sky becomes bright, I will invite Lu Dafu to come.”

Bai Xiaofeng nodded his head: “Alright, now is not a good time. It won’t be long till it gets dawn, let’s wait a bit longer.”

Old Lady Bai rushed inside her room to count the money. Mrs. Zhang helplessly pulled her husband away from the room. When will she get a chance to leave this family?

Bai Zhenzhu looked at her uncle with full of resentment. She scolded him inside her heart. Now that the situation became like this, it seems there is no hope for separation. When can she get rid of them?

In the Hu family

Bai Zhi got up early and went to the front yard of Hu Family’s house. In the front yard, she saw Hu Changlin talking with Wu Jiang and Li Cheng.

She felt strange. Wu Jiang and Li Cheng were working in the construction site. What are they doing here?

“Zhi’er, you’re here? Come closer!” Hu Changlin waved at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi went closer and saw Hu Changlin holding two bags filled with potatoes.

She pointed her finger at the potatoes and asked: “This, is this our planted melons?”

Hu Changlin nodded his head: “No one else planted melons nearby. So, aside from you, who else could it be?”

Hu Changlin then pointed his finger towards Wu Jiang and Li Cheng: “These two bags of melons are sent by them.”

Wu Jiang took this opportunity to explained: “Early this morning, I went to our field with Li Cheng. I was afraid to be late in the construction site, so I went there before dawn. But who knows on my way to our field, I found these two bags of melons. We suspect that someone went to your field and steal these melons, but somehow they dropped these two bags.”

Bai Zhi understood the situation. She looked at the two bags filled with potatoes. The bag looked familiar. It looks very similar to the bags she used to collect potatoes yesterday. However, the color was different and looked old… …

Bai Zhi opened the bag and found a blue character design in the corner. This was Zhao Lan’s handmade bag. She always embroiders her name to her belongings, so that the neighbors will not get confused when they borrow it.

She had an idea who the thieves were.

Bai Zhi didn’t try to conceal what she did. Wu Jiang and Li Cheng, who were close, saw her movements and also saw the embroidered blue character.
