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

Chapter 390 A skinny camel is bigger than a horse

As soon as he entered the town, he met Zhao Erlang who was carrying a pole.

Beside him, there was a middle-aged woman, dressed in a navy blue cotton dress, with a blue floral scarf on her head, holding a vegetable basket in her hand, with a few green onions in it.

Zhao Erlang saw Baiyun River and quickly put down his pole, wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned.

 “Sister-in-law Bai, you are in town.”

 “Oh, what a coincidence, I met an acquaintance as soon as I entered the town.”

Bai Yunxi smiled, looked at the woman beside him, and nodded,

"Who is this?"

“This is my mother-in-law, Mrs. Cui.” Zhao Erlang introduced with a smile.

“It turns out it’s the big girl who caused you trouble last time.”

Ms. Cui also knew about the loan of her yard. When she saw Baiyun River, she was stunned for a moment and then realized it. She smiled and waved her hand.

"I've heard of Sister-in-law Bai a long time ago. Since we're all acquaintances, you don't have to be polite. My aunt often talks about you in front of us. It makes me feel happy just to mention it. I've always wanted to meet you in person. Last time Sister-in-law Bai borrowed the courtyard, I just happened to go back to my parents’ home and missed it, which was a pity for a while.”

As Cui said, she looked up and down Baiyun River. Because she borrowed the house, she also thanked her with forty eggs, so just giving her as a gift was not a trick.

The eggs left for my aunt, she said whether she wanted them or not, saying they were for the family to replenish their health.

These two days, every meal at home has a plate of scrambled eggs, and the children are very happy.

“It’s better to meet her than to be famous. Sister-in-law Bai seems to have an extraordinary bearing at first glance. Today we have officially met. If anything happens in the future, just come to our house and we will walk around frequently.”

Bai Yunxi looked at Mr. Cui's assessment and didn't care. He chuckled lightly and said,

"Thank you for your kindness. To be honest, I really have something to inquire about when I come to the town today. I want to renovate my house while the field is gone, so I come to the town to find a master ink maker with a good reputation."

This Mr. Cui is a talkative person at first glance. Generally, such a person is basically a news tree.

Sure enough, listening to Bai Yunxi’s tone, Cui slapped her thigh,

“Isn’t this a coincidence? My natal brother is the best ink master, passed down from ancestors, and his skills are superb.”

 Baiyunxi: “…”

Is it such a coincidence? Asked at the door of the house?

Looking at Bai Yunxi’s surprised eyes, Ms. Cui raised her head and burst into laughter.

"Ouch... I'm scaring you. I have such a fickle personality. I've had it for half my life and I can't change it. Please bear with me."

Zhao Erlang heard his wife’s tone and agreed with it, saying,

"Sister-in-law Bai, don't be surprised. Mrs. Cui usually has a loud voice. She is used to it. But she is right. My uncle is very good at craftsmanship. He builds houses in villages ten miles away. When it comes to ink masters, he is definitely the master. Number one.”

Even Zhao Erlang said this, Bai Yunxi already believed it in his heart.

“That’s a coincidence. I’m so busy on this side. It turns out that the noble man is right in front of me. I can’t find any place without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get there.”

“Oh, listen, you are really an elegant person. You can write articles when you open your mouth. In this aspect alone, we rough people cannot compare.”

I heard from my aunt that this woman used to be the wife of Juren, but her life was not good and Juren died, leaving them orphans and widowers to live.

They say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. She has never doubted this. After all, people are a good family, and no matter how poor they are, they are still better than ordinary people.
