I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 523 Someone is peeking

The more he thought about it, the angrier Mr. Yan became.

“You’re a wicked, evil girl who has money to adopt outsiders but no money to lend to her relatives. She takes in an adopted daughter halfway and doesn’t know what she’s going to do with it?”

When Bai Chao heard this, he stopped in his steps and said, "Mom, what are you talking about about adopting a daughter?"

"What else could it be? That dead girl adopted an eldest daughter from somewhere. She looks to be in her twenties and looks cold and indifferent. Just now, the two of them went to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables."

Bai Chao listened, with surprise flashing in his eyes. What's the point of adopting a eldest daughter?

“Baiyunxi said it himself?”

"Yes, it is said that the two of them had a special affinity and specially adopted her as their adopted daughter."

Mrs. Yan curled her lips, her family was almost out of food, and that **** girl even got an extra mouth. There were so many children in the family, and all their mouths were full of food. I wonder what she thought about adopting an outsider?

“Mom, you go back first, I have something else to do.”

With that said, Bai Chao turned around and left without waiting for Yan to speak. Yan didn't even stop him.

 Baiyun Xi holds a small shovel in his hand and leads Wenyou along the river to the back hillside. In spring, when all kinds of wild vegetables are in full bloom, it is also the busiest time for children and elderly people in the village.

 Some people eat wild vegetables to taste fresh food, while others eat them to satisfy their hunger.

Looking at the children halfway up the hillside, Baiyunxi avoided them and walked some distance further in.

“There is a shoal ahead, maybe you can touch the screws.”

Wenyou carried the basket on her back and followed Baiyun Xi. She watched her pinch a bud and a few leaves and put them into the basket. She could smell a fresh fragrance.

Arrived at the shallows, Baiyun Xi looked at the clear river water. He looked along the river for a while, then stretched out his hand to feel the water temperature.

 “The water is still a little cold at this time.”

 Baiyun River pulled aside the water plants next to it, and there were many small green shrimps hidden underneath. Because the water quality is good, the whole shrimps are transparent. It's a pity that because it's too small, it's delicious and consumes a lot of fuel, so no one wants to part with it.

“Wenyou, bring me some leaves, catch some river shrimps and fry them for snacks.”

"good."

Wenyou looked around and finally folded an unopened banana leaf and handed it over.

Baiyunxi spread banana leaves in a basket and used the basket as a colander. He shoveled it down several times and got more than a pound of lively small river shrimps.

“Instead of listening to people’s complaints at home, it’s better to go out and have fun. A person who I haven’t seen for a long time comes up and asks for a loan. She is embarrassed to ask, but I am embarrassed to agree.”

Baiyunxi picked out the water plants that came in and shook his head.

"For a man who is over thirty and has not yet gotten married, any daughter who marries him will suffer. If I lend him money, I will be helping him to commit evil and help him to harm others."

Wenyou listened, thinking about an old woman like Yan, and nodded in agreement.

　　“A family that relies on borrowing money to marry a wife is really unreliable.”

Baiyunxi cleaned up the shrimps and wrapped them in banana leaves. Before he opened his mouth, he noticed that Wenyou's eyes were sharp and she immediately went on guard.

 “Someone is approaching.”

Baiyunxi put the basket on the ground, stood up with support on his waist, and inadvertently glanced around. With the slight wind, a piece of clothes floated out from behind the big tree.

There were only two of them around. This person was hiding behind a big tree and peeking secretly. He was still easily discovered. He was either a leper in the village or someone from other villages.

Bai Yunxi glanced at Wenyou and winked at her.

“Youyou, let’s go over there and have a look. I see there are some wolfberry trees there. Pick some and take them home to steam and eat.”
