After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Bai Qingyun noticed that Bai's mother had not eaten anything during the meal, so he specially ordered two plates of desserts that were not too sweet, to be eaten with tea, which was just right to relieve the greasiness.

While they were eating pastries, there was a sudden commotion in the restaurant. They saw an old man holding an old woman's hand and saying something tremblingly.

The old woman was dressed elegantly, but her hair was already gray. She kept muttering to herself from time to time and looked a little crazy.

The old grandfather also had gray hair. He held the old woman's hand, tears welling up in his eyes, and whispered in her ear from time to time.

The old man must be from a well-off family, as he was surrounded by servants, and the woman was also accompanied by an old maid.

The noise in the hall also disturbed other people who were dining. Bai's mother looked back curiously with dessert in her hand.

At just one glance, Bai's mother's eyes met the old woman's eyes. Bai Qingyun was facing them, and saw the old woman's originally scattered eyes become focused. She broke free from the old grandfather's restraining hands and ran towards Bai's mother.

"Hui Niang~"

The old woman's hands stroked Bai's mother's cheek. From Bai Qingyun's perspective, those hands were well maintained. Even though they were old, they were not as rough as those of a woman who made a living in the fields.

The woman looked at Bai's mother and just repeated the name, her eyes full of affection.

The old man then reacted, and together with the old lady beside him, he hurried forward and pulled the crazy woman away.

Perhaps it was because the woman's figure blocked the old man's sight, so he forcibly moved the woman away. When he saw the true face of Bai's mother, he was stunned where he stood, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"Miss! It's Miss! Miss has been found!"

One of the two people in charge looked at Bai's mother crying uncontrollably, while the other looked at Bai's mother in a daze.

It was the old lady next to him who saw it and screamed, drawing everyone's attention back.

Everyone in the Bai family wanted to step forward to rescue Bai's mother, but they were all stunned after hearing this. Bai's father, who was sitting nearby, reacted quickly and pulled Bai's mother into his arms to protect her.

Bai's mother was already in tears at this time. The tears had already blurred her vision. She could not see the other person's face clearly. She just stared blankly in the direction of the two elderly people and cried silently.

"Two old men, you got the wrong person!"

No matter how dumb the Bai family members were, they could still guess something based on Bai's mother's reaction.

But Bai's mother had no intention of recognizing him, so naturally the Bai family would not recognize him either.

"Yes, our mother has lived with us since we were born, and we have never heard of our maternal grandparents' home!"

Bai Qingshan is the eldest son, born in the second year after his father and mother got married. He has never seen his mother go back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year every year, and there is no visit from her during the New Year and other festivals. Naturally, he is certain that he has no family outside his mother's family.

"Yes, seeing that this old man doesn't look like an ordinary person, it's normal to admit his mistake!"

Seeing this, Grandma Bai protected Mother Bai on the other side like she was protecting her cub, fearing that the mentally ill old woman would rush over again.

The younger generation of the Bai family knew that the other party might be their closest elder. Although they wanted to chase him away, they were stopped by Ren Yi Li Zhi Xiao and could not speak easily.

Grandma Bai and Grandpa Bai did not have such concerns. They just spoke more vaguely, with the intention of chasing people away.

He was just about to say something like "Take this mentally ill person away immediately."

The two old men standing aside seemed to have lost their minds long ago. No matter what the two elders of the Bai family said, they got no response.

Instead, the old lady next to the old woman was supporting someone, looking anxious.

But the master hadn't spoken yet, so it wasn't appropriate for the servants to speak first.

Bai Qingyun took out a handkerchief and wiped Bai's mother's tears. In just a moment, her eyes were already red and swollen.

After all, a restaurant is not like one's own home. In just a moment, the people who were dining nearby came over. Even passers-by saw that the restaurant was full of people and came over to join in the fun.

"What's going on?"

The newcomers to the restaurant saw someone they knew and came up to ask questions.

"This old woman has gone crazy, and her family didn't keep a close eye on her. Now, she came to the restaurant and bumped into the family. The woman was so scared that she started crying! The family is now looking for her to argue with her!"

"Really? These days, crazy people should be taken care of. Otherwise, report them to the police!"

When the people cannot distinguish right from wrong, they leave it to the government to decide.

"Oh! You just arrived and don't know. I was eating here and watched the whole thing. It wasn't like that!"

"What's that like?"

"It's that girl who doesn't recognize her own parents. Her mother has gone mad trying to find her daughter, and she still has the nerve to cry!"

The person who spoke was standing in the front row of the onlookers, and after he finished speaking he glanced at the people from the Bai family with disdain.

"Ah? If you are unfilial to your parents, even if you are a married woman, you will be sent to prison! You must report it to the police!"

The crime of being unfilial is one of the ten disrespectful crimes in Dazhao. In serious cases, the entire family will be executed!

After the man said this, he saw the looks in the Bai family's eyes and felt that he was an unforgivable criminal.

The onlookers believed the slander and looked at the Bai family with disgust. Some even turned to the two old men who were standing there.

"Old man, children like this should be reported to the police! If necessary, I will help you report it now!"

Onlookers responded one after another.

"Yes, the county magistrate of our Sishui County is well-known for not protecting such an unfilial person!"

"That's right. Even if a woman marries out of her parents, if she is unfilial to her parents, she will be imprisoned and beaten if her entire clan is not executed!"

The look of them being united in hatred of the enemy and their expressions of bravery and righteousness left the Bai family speechless.

But now they are on the run, and the Bai family is like the leaders of Dayang Village. It is not easy for them to cause trouble in the local area and delay everyone's journey.

In fact, even if you are not in a hurry to travel, facing such rumors, you cannot win by arguing.

It should be noted that once public opinion is at a disadvantage, especially when one is the stronger party, it becomes natural to be criticized.

Everyone in the Bai family gnashed their teeth after hearing this, but they had to endure it again and again because of their years of education.

The youngest, Xiao Yan, was still at an age where he couldn't hide his emotions. He looked at the onlookers with ferocious eyes and acted as if he wanted to argue with them.

It was Xie Shuer, who was closest to her, who noticed it and quickly protected her.

More and more people gathered around, and the Bai family saw that the two men had no intention of saying anything.

Bai Qingyun whispered beside Bai's mother: "Mom, you are tired today, let's go back to the inn!"

Family matters should be resolved behind closed doors.

In the current situation, if my mother were to hear some more gossip, she would probably become the one who went crazy.

Bai's mother was in tears, but she could still hear the gossip around her and her daughter's persuasion, so she was able to maintain some rationality.

He took the handkerchief from Bai Qingyun's hand, wiped his tears, stood up and led everyone from the Bai family to the inn.
