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

Chapter 44 Sugar is expensive

"There are so many students in the world, and no one can guarantee 100% success in high school. Even if you have confidence in yourself, it will be many years before you pass the exam. For them, supporting you to study is like a venture capital investment. To prove that they hit the right target. If you lose, you will consider yourself unlucky. After all, you have already paid for it."

 “What you give is a promise after things are done, and it is a real thing that others have paid.”

Bai Xiaowu choked and opened his mouth, but had no words to refute. But his expression was still unconvinced, mixed with embarrassment.

Bai Yunxi looked at him. The few bear kids in the family had received too little whipping, and they all thought they were right.

She currently only uses words to encourage her, without carrying a rolling pin. Physical torture is considered merciful.

“There are many students around us, some of whom you are familiar with. Some of them have not achieved their dreams in their entire lives. As their family members, don’t we have to accept our fate?”

Bai Xiaowu blushed and wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to speak, because what his mother said was very common around him.

 “Okay, you’ve almost rested, let’s go.”

Bai Yunxi held the tool, gritted his teeth, picked up the basket, and walked forward thoughtfully without speaking again.

Looking at his mother's back, Bai Xiaowu tightened his lips tightly. He would definitely pass the exam.

When Baiyunxi arrived at the land reclamation site, he looked back at Xiao Wu who had not yet come out. He curled his lower lips and practiced physical labor to strengthen his will. After experiencing it a few times, he would understand the hard work of others.

　　Until Bai Anyan and his wife returned, Bai Xiaowu had not yet come out.

 “Mom, where is the fifth brother?”

“Still behind, probably coming out soon.”

 “Then I’ll go pick him up.”

“No, Xiao Wu has never done farm work before, it’s okay to let him experience it.” Listening to the second child’s tone, Bai Yunxi refused directly.

I don’t know whether it was because he was hit by Baiyunxi or something else. When Bai Xiaowu appeared, his steps were sluggish with tiredness, and his expression was also wilted.

Seeing him carrying the basket as if he was drunk, swaying from side to side, Bai Anyan quickly went over to take over.

“Hurry up and put it down. You have a small body and have never done farm work. You can’t stand it all at once. Your shoulders will be sore tomorrow.”

This time Bai Xiaowu did not refuse. He had reached his limit and wanted to give up several times, but he was unwilling to give up. He could barely hold on until now with one breath.

 In the past, it had never been so difficult for him to memorize a book.

Looking at his second brother carrying it on his shoulders effortlessly, Bai Ansheng's heart moved. Is this what mother said about the different division of labor?

"Okay, it's getting late. We'll catch this person today and go home."

Bai Yunxi looked at Xiao Wu's expression and didn't pay much attention to him. He drank a little too much chicken soup today and had to let him digest it.

Back home, looking at the beetroots piled up in the yard, Baiyunxi watched the sunset. The boss and the fourth boy hadn't returned yet, and they didn't know how much they had done carrying the big bags.

“While it’s still daylight, we wash the beets, clean up all the insect bites, and then slice them into slices to make sugar tomorrow morning. Du Shi is in charge of cooking, and the two eldest brothers will be back soon.”

Du Shi nodded and looked at the piled beet heads with confusion in his eyes. The second brother and sister said that this thing can make sugar, but I wonder if it is true?

“Sugar is a valuable thing. A pound of sugar can be exchanged for a pound of rice. If this beet can really produce sucrose, their family will not have to worry about food and drink in the future.” ’

Hearing Du's thoughts, Baiyunxi was stunned. Is sugar so expensive?
