40 The Children Have Nothing to Do With You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing Xue Xiaohua escape from the woodshed, Bai Wenjing could not care less about the wound on her hand. She did not know that Xue Xiaohua was nowhere to be seen when she reached the gate of the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Xue Bainian was standing on his head against the wall. Xue Chang An stood there and looked coldly at Xue Baijun. When Xue Baijun saw her coming out, he glared at her fiercely as if he was not convinced.

However, Bai Wenjing still felt that the scene in front of her was much more efficient. At least Xue Baijun was really obedient to Xue Chang An's discipline.

When she thought of the system mission that popped up just now, Bai Wenjing felt a headache. The system must have come to set her up. Otherwise, why would there always be missions that made things difficult for her?

In addition to the three-day time limit for the mission, Bai Wenjing was still a little anxious. Since this was an opportunity, she might as well let Xue Chang An go.

So she said to Xue Chang An, "Father, Xiaohua ran out just now. I'm afraid that something might happen. Why don't you go look for the child?"

Although Xue Chang An did not know what had just happened, he immediately nodded and walked out as soon as he heard his wife's words.

At this time, Xue Baijun, who was standing on his head, took the opportunity to fiercely say to her, "I just saw it!"

Bai Wenjing was a little stunned. She asked Xue Baijun, "What did you just see?"

"I just saw you hit Xiaohua. You're not a good mother! Only the stepmother hits people!"

Bai Wenjing wanted to refute, but she could not say a word. She knew that hitting a child was indeed wrong, but just now, in a fit of anger, she not only hit Xue Baijun but also hit Xue Xiaohua...

At this moment, she felt a little embarrassed, so she simply asked, "Yes, mother admitted that I shouldn't have hit you, but think carefully, is it wrong for father and mother to teach you a lesson?"

"Hmph!"

Xue Baijun turned his head and snorted coldly, not looking at her, but continued, "Anyway, hitting people is not a good mother, I don't want to believe you anymore!"

"What, what, what? What is this?"

Hearing that, Lee Guilan walked out of the room, seeing that Xue Baijun was still standing on his head, she walked in front of Bai Wenjing and said unhappily, "This child has been standing on his head for so long. According to me, it should be enough. I heard that standing on your head for a long time is not good for your eyes. Don't tell me you want to blind Baijun?"

? Standing on your head can blind your eyes? Was there something wrong with the old lady?

Bai Wenjing was also displeased. She said in a muffled voice, "Mother, this handstand was proposed by your son. He said that he has to stay in that position until the incense stick is done burning, but the incense is not burnt till the end yet."

The incense stick was only halfway through.

"My son, my son. You still know that he is my son. In My son's place, I have the final say. All-day long, you still say that my good grandson is causing trouble. Aren't you the one who spoiled him!"

After saying that, Lee Guilan went to put down Xue Baijun, who was still standing on his head. Xue Baijun took the opportunity to say, "Grandma, Xiaohua was just beaten by my mother and ran out. My father went to look for Xiaohua."

"What? What happened to Xiaohua? Why did you beat Xiaohua too?"

Lee Guilan questioned again. Bai Wenjing glanced at Xue Baijun, who was gloating. She sighed in her heart. Could this child not be so deceitful?

Therefore, she held back the anger in her chest and explained, "Mother, it's like this. Just now, I saw Xiaohua holding the lipstick and the necklace in his hands. I thought that our family didn't have this thing. It must have been stolen by this girl, so I taught her a lesson. Who knew that this girl would run out..."

"The necklace was given to Xiaohua by me, not stolen by her."

Lotus stood at the side and said this, intentionally or unintentionally. Bai Wenjing's mind buzzed. It meant that Xiaohua had told the truth and not lied to her. And she had hit that girl without asking clearly just now, no wonder that girl was so angry that she bit her and ran out!

She had been too hot-tempered these days, and Bai Wenjing's heart was filled with self-blame.

"Look at you, look at how you are a mother. I'll go out and take a look too."

Lee Guilan said angrily, but she seemed to be helpless. She could only follow her out of the door.

Only Bai Wenjing, Bai Lianhua, Xue Baijun, and Xue Bainian were left in the courtyard, at this moment, Lotus chuckled and said, "Sister Wenjing, look at your temper. No wonder others say that you're a shrew. You don't even ask about your own child's matters and just scold her. I really doubt that you're the child's biological mother."

"Bullsh*t! Who do you think you are? It's not your place to worry about my family's matters!"

Bai Wenjing was also feeling aggrieved and flustered. At this moment, she took a step forward and forcefully pushed Lotus away, causing her to stagger a few steps.

Lotus' face alternated between green and white, and it seemed like she could not hold it in any longer. However, she still had an extremely arrogant look on her face as she said, "Right now, it has nothing to do with me, but one day, it will have something to do with me. A vulgar woman like you can only use such crude methods to educate her children. It's really terrible."

Bai Wenjing was originally filled with anger, but now that she heard what Lotus said, she became even more furious, she immediately gave Lotus a hard slap on the face and said, "I don't know if this family has anything to do with you in the future, but these children have absolutely nothing to do with you. Also, let me ask you, aren't you penniless and desperate? Why are you so generous with your first strike?"

Lotus was slapped and then questioned by Bai Wenjing, and she instantly panicked, but then she straightened her back and said, "I have no choice. Those things were only left to me by my mother. If you don't believe me, you can ask my aunt. I'm going to look for Xiaohua."

After saying that, Lotus let go of her hand and walked out.

Bai Wenjing had slapped her just now. She was going to look for her brother Chang An with this slapped face. She did not believe that brother Chang An would not uphold justice for her!

The moment she stepped out of the courtyard, Lotus could not help but grin. After all, Xiaohua had run away. Not to mention what brother Chang An would think, that damn old lady must hate Bai Wenjing to the extreme.

As long as the matter was big enough, she did not worry that this woman would not be despised. When the time came, as long as she was virtuous and gentle enough to form a contrast with Bai Wenjing, she would definitely surpass Bai Wenjing.

As soon as Lotus left, the entire courtyard quieted down. Bai Wenjing only looked at Xue Baijun. Xue Baijun said, "I'm going to look for Xiaohua." Then, he also ran out.

Seeing all of them run out, Bai Wenjing became even more panicked.

Lotus did not choose to look in the village. Or rather, she was just pretending to go out to try her luck because she guessed that Xue Chang An would also go up.

The back of the village was backed by a big mountain. The trees on the mountain were very many and the leaves were lush. Stepping into the forest, Lotus could feel the cold aura in the forest.

After a short while, Lotus found Xue Xiaohua under a big tree in the depths of the forest. At this moment, Xue Xiaohua was leaning against the big tree, wiping her tears while mumbling something. Seeing Lotus appear... she stood up abruptly and said angrily, "I won't go back with you!"
