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

"Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, I'm back!"

The sound had already entered the house before the person arrived.

"Girl, you still remember to come back!"

Bai's mother was sewing a new pillow pattern with needle and thread. When she saw her daughter standing at the door, she quickly put down the needle and thread, and couldn't stop complaining.

Grandma Bai came over and said, "Why have you lost so much weight? I worked so hard to gain some weight. You must take good care of it when you get home!"

Xie Shuer brought dessert from the kitchen and said, "I didn't know you'd come back at this time. Eat something to fill your stomach first!"

Xie Li calmly closed the gate to the courtyard, turned around and said to Bai Qingyun who was standing in the middle: "Let's go back to the room and talk!"

"I'm here to look after the door. Bai Yatou will be back from a bumpy ride. She must be hungry now. Shu'er, go to the kitchen and make some food!"

After hearing this, Bai Qingyun's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that this was not good.

Xie Li thoughtfully arranged matters for himself and his granddaughter, giving the Bai family members independent space to speak.

Sitting at the table in the room, Bai Qingyun asked when he saw his family members with serious faces.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, has anyone come here since I left?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally decided that Grandma Bai should speak.

"Little one, the day after you left, three young men came to the village. Their clothes and swords were similar to what you described that day."

"We knew in our hearts that they might be here to look for the seriously injured woman. We didn't know what the three men were going to do, so we didn't dare to act rashly."

"Your Aunt Niu just happened to come to our house and smelled a strong smell of blood in the house, so we could only say that we killed a chicken at home to cover it up."

Wei Xi was covered in blood that day, and the strong smell of blood still remained even after washing with clean water.

"We were afraid of any accidents, so we cleaned the room where we were originally assigned and your room again. Shu'er was smart. She disguised your room as a warehouse and placed the purchased autumn pears in your room to cover up the smell."

The autumn pear has a strong fragrance, and the Bai family makes a lot of autumn pear paste. When the most pears they purchase are piled up in more than a dozen bamboo baskets at home.

"When those three people came to our house, we were just making autumn pear paste. I heard from your Grandpa Xie that they went to the backyard and checked the room under the pretext of using the toilet. Fortunately, the aroma of the autumn pear paste was so strong that the three people left without getting suspicious."

"We didn't dare to chase them out to see what was happening. We only saw those people heading up the mountain. We were afraid they would come back, so we took turns to make the pear paste in the morning and evening for the past few days. We didn't stop until the pears were almost all gone."

"We haven't seen those people since then. Your father was worried about you, so he asked Shopkeeper Xu of Hongyun Restaurant and found out that those people were eating and chatting in the restaurant. They said that he was dead and we could go back."

"My family was so worried that we almost went to Qujiang County to look for you, but your grandfather Xie stopped us because he was afraid that we would miss your business, so we gave up!"

Bai Qingyun snuggled in Bai's mother's arms and could clearly feel her body trembling.

When Grandma Bai talked about death, she held Bai Qingyun's hand tightly.

Bai Qingyun didn't want to interrupt Grandma Bai, so he could only comfort her gently with his hands.

"If you don't come back, we're going to ask your Grandpa Xie to take Shu'er to the county in disguise to sell things and look for you."

After saying this, he glared at Bai Qingyun with resentment in his eyes.

Bai Qingyun was a man who knew how to coax people, so he immediately snuggled into Grandma Bai's arms and said.

"The little one is back safely! Don't worry, she has gone back. I walked very slowly on purpose when I came back, and no one was following me. I think the matter has been resolved."

Bai Qingyun's vision, hearing and alertness have obviously improved a lot. If someone is following him, ordinary people will notice it unless it is a master like An Twelve.

I left in a hurry and didn't explain everything clearly to my family. Now is a good time to explain Wei Xi's identity and experience to everyone, so as to avoid any offense when we meet them in the future.

"Oh my goodness, is that really a princess? The daughter of His Majesty? If we tell anyone, wouldn't our family be considered a royal family?"

After listening to this, Father Bai carefully looked at the princess jade pendant that Bai Qingyun took out and couldn't help but sigh.

"Why don't you go tell people on the street and see whether you can run faster or their knife is faster!"

Mother Bai couldn't bear to look at Father Bai's inexperienced look.

"I'm just saying this! How dare I tell this to anyone else?"

Knowing that his words and actions were inappropriate, Mr. Bai guiltily left the group chat and returned the jade pendant to Bai Qingyun.

"That being said, the Second Princess is training in the army, and the noble families headed by the Second Prince are eyeing them covetously. It's only a matter of time before the two sides fight. Her Highness the Princess can't bear to see us get involved, so we should just pretend that nothing happened!"

"What you said is true. No matter if they are princesses or beggars, if we meet them, we will help them if we can. We don't have to ask for anything in return. Winter is coming soon, and the crops in the fields are the most important thing now."

"I took a quick look on the way home just now. The potato seedlings outside are growing well, and the potatoes inside should be ripe. Let's go dig one up tomorrow and see. If it's okay, we can harvest it early."

"Okay, I'll listen to you! The villagers trust our family, and we can't let them down! We need to pay more attention to this matter."

Grandpa Bai was as steady as ever and made the final decision.

"Oh, by the way, Mom, I met Aunt Niu and the others chatting at the entrance of the village~"

"Ah, Aunt Niu comes to our house quite often. I heard that you like to eat buns, so I brought some over that day. You haven't been home for many days, and I suddenly remembered that a family in the neighboring Lijia Village sent their daughter to learn embroidery, so I found an excuse to tell her."

After saying this, Bai's mother suddenly remembered something: "You didn't reveal the truth, did you?"

"No, it's just that how come everyone knows about the stove burning?"

After saying this, I felt a little embarrassed to continue speaking, and immediately blamed myself for speaking out my true feelings.

Grandma Bai rarely saw her granddaughter blushing, so she quickly joked.

"The noises at home and the black smoke outside that day were something that anyone in the village who was not deaf or blind could have seen and heard. They could have guessed what happened without our family members saying anything!"

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this, and the serious atmosphere was easily broken.

Bai Qingyun, the only one injured, ran out of the room as if he was running for his life and bumped into Xie Shuer who was about to knock on the door.

"Sister Shuer~"

As he spoke, he rubbed the shoulder and neck that Xie Shuer had bumped into, and the exposed part of her shoulder and neck was noticeably red.

"It's okay, Yun'er. I fried some food. Go eat some first. I'll make more for dinner."

Seeing that Xie Shuer was fine, Bai Qingyun went to the kitchen after being pushed by her.

I have to say, no matter how nutritious the food in the space is, it is not as delicious as the home-cooked meals cooked in a big stove. The food cooked with the smell of smoke always has a more down-to-earth taste, which makes people feel at ease after eating it.
