Chapter 99 Shame

"Mother, what's the matter, what happened?" Bai Moli asked casually.

"I heard that the mountain was ashamed this morning."

"Paji..." The bowl in Bai Jasmine's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

She didn't care about these things, and continued to ask with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"Is... ashamed? Mom, what do you mean by that?"

"Yeah, why is it so embarrassing? Who lost it?" Qi also asked in wonder during the day.

"It is said that the daughter-in-law of the old Zhang's family heard that the herbs in the mountains can make money, so she took his son and daughter up the mountain together, but came back crying and said that the child was lost." Niu said with a gossip face.

"The child is lost? Could it be that he ran away for fun?"

"I don't know. Old Zhang went to the village chief to talk about it, and the village chief called everyone to go into the mountains to find someone. There is no news yet."

"Is it the daughter or the son who lost it? Wait, how come they also know that herbs can make money? Do they know herbs?" Qi Bai wondered.

"I heard that the two children were lost, and I don't know what happened. I'm just waiting for everyone's news. As for the herbal medicine, who knows what happened?" Niu continued.

"By the way, didn't you go to the county? Why did you come back so soon? All those herbs were sold?"

"I originally wanted to go to the county, but there was no car on the way, so I walked to the town with Jasmine, and found a pharmacy to sell all the herbs."

"How much did you sell for?"

"..."

Bai Jasmine couldn't listen to the next conversation, because she was afraid.

Niu Shi and Bai Baiqi didn't know how to sell herbs for money, but she knew!
When she went down the mountain after picking herbs that day, she proudly showed off to many people.

Moreover, Mrs. Lin knocked over her pannier and asked her a lot.

Could it be that the reason why everyone went to the mountains to dig the so-called profitable herbs is what Mrs. Lin said behind her back?
The more she thought about it, the more convinced Bai Jasmine was of this guess in her heart.

In case... there are really bandits or human traffickers in the mountains, will those people find her and blame her for everything?
Thinking of these white jasmines, she couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and she didn't even hear Niu's calling her twice.

"Jasmine, what are you thinking, so preoccupied?" Niu simply reached out and patted her shoulder.

"Mother, I'm fine. Do you think that the disappearance of the old Zhang family's child has something to do with the bandits that my little girl mentioned?" Bai Moli asked nervously.

"I can't tell! What if the two children were playful and ran a little far by themselves, or they encountered wild animals in the mountains or something.

What's the matter, Jasmine, you didn't cause the child to be lost, why are you so excited? "

Hearing what Niu said, Bai Jasmine no longer panicked.

That's right, the loss of the child has nothing to do with her directly, why is she afraid?
It was not she who let those people enter the mountain.

Having figured this out, Bai Moli quickly put her heart in her stomach, and showed Niu the rouge she bought in the town today.

"Mother, look quickly, this is the rouge I bought in the town today, do you think it looks good?"

"Looks good, my Jasmine is already pretty, if she can put on this rouge, she will definitely be even more beautiful." Niu looked at his daughter and praised her without hesitation.

"Then I will compare with my sister-in-law, which one looks better?"

"How can your sister-in-law compare to you? If it weren't for your grandma's constant protection, she would have been invaded by a pig cage long ago."

Hearing Niu Shi's words, Bai Tianqi said a little unhappily: "What are you talking about? Isn't my little sister doing well recently? Without her, where would we be able to eat such a good meal?"

"Yes, yes, your mother is the best, and your sister is also the best. The girl I gave birth to is not good, and it will make your Bai family unhappy." Niu said sourly.

"That's not what I mean. Lizi's recent changes are obvious to all. Now that she has improved, don't speak ill of her in the future, or if mother hears about it, she will be scolded again." Bai Baiqi explained.

"Oh, after all, it's a family, and it's just talking for your own people. There are only three of us here. If you don't tell me, who will know?

Our mother is sad enough on weekdays, you still don't know how to cherish, and you teach us in turn, what do you mean?Only your mother and your sister are important, and Jasmine and I are not important anymore, right? " Niu asked dissatisfiedly.

"No, that's not what I meant." Facing such accusations, Bai Baiqi didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"Then what do you mean? You despise me and Jasmine, right?" Niu asked persistently.

"No, I'll just say it casually, why did you react so strongly?" Bai Baiqi expressed his helplessness.

Why can't he understand Niu's brain circuit?I don't know what I'm thinking about every day.

When his mother, Mrs. Li, was around, Niu became obedient and did not make any fuss.

It's good now, saying these words inexplicably, and still losing his temper at him, why on earth is this?

Did he say anything wrong?
"Jasmine, let's go, mother will take you to try the rouge you bought, let your father think about it for himself." Niu directly took Bai Jasmine's hand and walked into the house.

"Eh?" Bai Baiqi was even more confused.

"By the way, remember to clean up the bowl that Jasmine broke on the ground. If Mother comes back and asks, she will say that you broke it."

After Niu finished speaking, he took Bai Jasmine into the house and closed the door.

"..." Bai Tianqi was speechless for a while, and silently went to the broom to clean up the mess.

In the afternoon, news came that the two missing children of the old Zhang family were still not found.

The village chief mobilized most of the adults in the village to go into the mountains to search, and searched for one noon and one afternoon, but found no trace of them.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the villagers who went looking for people also returned home.

The second daughter-in-law of Zhang's family, Wang, cried and went to the village chief, and knelt down to ask the village chief to send someone to the mountains to continue the search.

It is a big deal if the child is lost. If she can't find it, she is afraid that she will be beaten to death by the old Zhang's family.

The village chief Ji Ping frowned impatiently as he looked at the out of breath woman kneeling in front of him crying and berated him.

"Mr. Wang, it's not that I didn't send someone to look for it. You also saw that most of the people in the village didn't go to the fields in the afternoon. They all went to the mountains to find someone for you.

But I haven't found it after searching for so long. You can't be so selfish and let the big guys stay up at night to help you find someone? "

"Village chief, please, those two children are the fate of our old Zhang family, you must help me."

Wang cried and refused to get up, and refused to listen to the village chief.

"Why didn't I help you? It's the busy time of farming. I made everyone very unhappy when I called on everyone to put down their work and find someone else. What do you want me to do?"

"Didn't I tell you on purpose before that there are bandits and bad guys in the mountains, and I told you not to enter the mountains, but you insisted on not listening, what can I do?"

"Did I tell you that if you have to enter the mountain, you will be responsible for any problems? You all took my words as wind, didn't you?" Ji Ping became a little angry while talking.

"Village chief, we don't want to either, but there's nothing we can do? We can't live anymore, we need money! It's because Mrs. Lin said that there are herbs that can be sold in the mountains, so we went."

"Even if there are herbs that can be sold in the mountains, what's the matter? You know it's dangerous, but you still enter the mountains for the herbs. Who's to blame?" Ji Ping continued to scold.

"Village chief, you are the most powerful person in our village. You must help us. As long as we find those two children, we will never go into the mountains again. Really, we will listen to you!" Mrs. Wang Opening guarantee.

"It's not that I won't help you. It's really dark. The roads in the mountains are difficult and dangerous. I can't encourage everyone to take risks in the mountains just because you are alone."

Ji Ping took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart and continued.

"If you are really in such a hurry to find someone, then go to someone from your own clan, or you can find a way to beg others to see if they are willing to go to the mountains with you to find someone at night."

"Yes, ask other people for help, and I will let the child's father go to ask other people."

Seeing that the village head was really unwilling to let go of his help, Wang had no choice but to follow his advice and find someone else.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had finally left, Ji Ping rubbed his brows, and sat down on a stool beside him a little tired.

Xiao Fang came out from behind the door carrying a bowl of tea.

"Master, let's have a sip of tea. I can't blame you for this. You have indeed tried your best."

"Hey, if it's possible, I certainly hope that nothing will happen, so that I can be at ease, and it's not because I didn't want to help." Ji Ping complained.

"Well, I understand the head of the family. Speaking of it, it's thanks to you listening to Bai Jinli and notifying the villagers in advance, otherwise those people wouldn't know how to find you." Xiao Fang felt a little emotional.

"En." Ji Ping didn't refute.

In fact, after Bai Jinli said that, he didn't believe it at all. If Mr. Yang hadn't come to him specifically to tell him about it, it would be impossible for him to summon all the villagers to inform him about it.

But it's good now, when someone comes to him after something happens, he can have an excuse to stop him.

"What's the matter with Mrs. Lin? I said in public that everyone is not allowed to enter the mountain, why did she persuade everyone to go into the mountain to dig herbs? It's all right now, the person is lost, and the matter has become serious." Ji Ping couldn't help complaining.

"The head of the family, Mrs. Lin is just a woman. She usually has a broken mouth. How does she know any herbs? How can she tell others that picking herbs can make money?" Xiao Fang continued to analyze after expressing the doubts in her heart. .

"However, even if Mrs. Lin said something, she can't be blamed for the loss of the child, and she didn't beg Mrs. Wang to go into the mountains."

"Well, that's fine. Don't worry about this matter. Maybe the child just lost his way for a while because of his playfulness. If the Zhang family wants to, they will send someone to look for it. Maybe they can find it tomorrow."

"Well, I hope." Xiao Fang nodded.

That night, members of the Zhang family held torches and went into the mountain to search overnight. It is said that they searched for a whole night, but there was still no result.

Not to mention the figure of the child, not even a shred of information was found.

After dawn, everyone took their leave and went to work on their own affairs.

After Wang got the result, she cried and passed out.

The people from the old Zhang family woke her up again, all kinds of accusations and reprimands came again, and they also said that she lost the child, and if she couldn't find it, the child's father would divorce her.

The poor Wang gritted her teeth and went into the mountain by herself, calling the names of the two children while walking.

When Bai Jinli heard the news, she couldn't help but sigh.

It was indeed Wang's carelessness that the child was lost in Wang's hands.

But as the child's mother, she should be more desperate and sad than anyone else when she learned that the child was lost.

Not only did the members of the Zhang family not comfort her, but they even treated her like that, which was really too cold-blooded.

Well, Bai Jinli and Mrs. Li are back home.
