Lotus Pond of Rebirth

Chapter 227 Reversal
"Aren't you from the Bai family?"

Some people began to question their identities.

Bai Mingxi's father is from this village, but her mother is not. Her mother came to live here after she got married. If you really want to talk about it, this house belongs to the Bai family. No one can deny this.

Zhang Xia froze when asked.

Although this question was asked inadvertently, the question was very level. If people don't ask you about your relationship with Bai Mingxi, they just ask if you are from the Bai family.

It's not the Bai family, so why are you arguing with them for a house?
It's not the Bai family, why do you have to live in the house of the Bai family?

Zhang Xia was speechless.

"We are Xiaoxi's elder brother and sister-in-law. After her mother passed away, it was not easy for her to be a child. We came here specially to take care of her!"

Ma Tao walked in from the crowd and said sincerely.

When everyone saw Ma Tao, they began to discuss again. Several people recognized that this person was the one who was going to the brigade to reason.

Although Ma Tao is also making trouble, he always speaks righteously, and others who speak outrightly also nod subconsciously.

Now that his tone is so sincere, many people's minds have changed again. Bai Mingxi is indeed an orphan girl. Although she has grown up, when her child was so old, she didn't even wash her own socks, let alone pick up a knife and shovel. Cook and take care of yourself.

"We are a mother. Blood is thicker than water. After my mother passed away, Xiaoxi is my only relative in this world. How can I rest assured! This time I also made a big decision, so I quit my job and brought my wife The belt came to the capital!"

Ma Tao paused for a moment, with a heavy expression on his face, "Maybe Xiaoxi blamed us for not coming to take care of her in time, and had a rift with us. I can understand this, and I want to prove my words with future actions, but... ...It's just that I didn't expect that this child would combine with outsiders and drive us out!"

"In the capital we have no one to rely on, only a younger sister, but she said this to me, saying that she is not sad is a lie. As an older brother, I am really heartbroken. I only hate myself for not discovering this child in time. It is my fault that someone with a heart took advantage of the loopholes and seduced her, and I did not fulfill my responsibility as a brother!"

Speaking of sad and self-blame, Ma Tao shed tears, very convincing under the light of street lamps.

The meaning inside and outside the words is nothing more than that Bai Mingxi is young, ignorant, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and was seduced by others.

Whose family has no children, and which parents are not only worried that their children will be deceived when they are young, but also those present are all parents. Ma Tao's words immediately resonated with them.

Bai Mingxi has no father and no mother, and is an orphan girl. Without someone to teach, she is more likely to be led astray. Some neighbors in the neighborhood turned to Ma Tao and began to persuade Bai Mingxi.

But not everyone is so ignorant, and their thoughts are influenced by people's words. Some people looked at Ma Tao and his wife thoughtfully, but did not make any comments. One of them was Aunt Zhang from the neighborhood committee.

She was the one who asked him if he was from the Bai family just now.

Aunt Zhang has a very good relationship with Bai Mingxi's mother. She almost watched Bai Mingxi grow up. After her mother passed away, she took good care of her. She knows exactly what kind of temperament Bai Mingxi is.

This child has a straightforward personality, is happy to do things, and is frank and polite, but he is not as deceitful as this person said.

What's more, how could he belittle his own sister so cryptically!

Aunt Zhang is an old accountant. After retiring, she didn’t want to stay at home, so she found a job in the neighborhood committee. She spent her whole life looking at numbers and doing accounts. .

She talked to several people around her who had a good relationship with the Bai family.

Whether it was kind persuasion or malicious ridicule, Bai Mingxi turned a deaf ear to the words of the people around him, and said to Ma Tao: "It turns out that my brother wants to take care of me, so I would like to thank my brother for his kindness first, but my mother passed away for almost three years. I'm already used to being alone, and my brother suddenly wants to take care of me, so I'm not used to it."

Ma Tao froze, feeling annoyed in his heart, this girl has really changed, she had a manageable look on the phone a few times before, but she seemed to be different the last time she called.

At first I thought that someone was giving her some advice, but now it seems that it is not the case. This girl is too experienced in speaking, how does she look like a student who has not entered the society?
Everyone was stunned when they heard her words. Yes, the mother of the child in the Bai family has been dead for almost three years. This person who claims to be her brother has only appeared to ask to take care of her now, and it was still at a time when news of the demolition was spreading like a storm. , is it too coincidental?

The people around stopped accusing Bai Mingxi and started talking to each other.

They are all from the same village, and everyone knows everything. They have never seen this half-brother who suddenly appeared before, even when Bai Mingxi's mother passed away and was doing business. this person.

Of course they couldn't see that her elder brother was attending her brother-in-law's wedding while her mother was doing the funeral.

She didn't know about this at the beginning. When her mother passed away, she naturally notified Ma Tao. She had forgotten why he didn't show up at that time.

Later, when the property was robbed, Ma Yang and her nephew accidentally slipped the word, but at that time Ma Tao didn't care whether she knew or not.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I heard that you have entrusted someone to transfer Xiaoyang to the capital, and now you have quit your job, what will you do in the future?"

Bai Mingxi's seemingly irrelevant words made everyone startled again.

I don't even have a job, so what can I use to support my children's education and save money?Or... demolition money?

Under Aunt Zhang's words, several families who had a good relationship with Bai Mingxi's parents had an idea and planned to help her at a critical time.

They looked at Ma Tao's family with unfriendly eyes, and more people were full of contempt and disdain.

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. Competing for houses and property is very common in today's society, but I have never seen anyone who even wants to cheat and fight for the property of the stepfather!
Ma Tao's face turned dark, how did this girl know that they transferred Xiao Yang to the capital, they didn't say anything about it!
It wasn't that Zhang Xia was hopelessly stupid, seeing that the situation was not right, she didn't dare to cry, she hugged the child beside her and said nothing, her eyes rolled around.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Tao didn't dare to continue talking. Originally, he wanted to rely on these people to force Bai Mingxi to let him live in.

As long as he lives in, he can find a way to get Bai Mingxi to sign the agreement, and when the demolition is confirmed and the money is taken, he will let her go.

But I didn't expect that this girl is so eloquent now, not only was she not coerced, but she turned back by relying on these people!
