Chapter 227: Paving the way
Zhao Lan asked: “And you said no?”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Of course, although he and I are friends, I haven’t reached the point where I need him to support us . If he made arrangements for us to go in the capital, with his status, can’t his family learn about it? What do you think they will feel? I don’t want them to think that I’m a concubine being raised by him outside the house . ” She said half-jokingly, but Zhao Lan and Hu Feng know that what she said was not a joke . It was the truth .
Hu Feng didn’t say anything, he continued to eat . This answer was beyond his expectation . Bai Zhi was not like the other ordinary girls . She doesn’t have the intention to climb someone’s else bed, but rather want to support herself with her own means . This kind of lowly thing, she will naturally dismiss it .

Zhao Lan was relieved: “Zhi’er, what you did is right . Although we are poor, I would still prepare you to marry a mountain villager than to become a rich man’s concubine . If you become a concubine, you will live like a slave and you cannot change anything . ”
Bai Zhi nodded: “I know, niang, you can rest assured . I will not go anywhere, I will guard you here . We will live a good life . We will not care about other stuff . ”
Zhao Lan knew what’s on her daughter’s mind, she wanted to persuade her with a few sentences, but she couldn’t open her mouth in front of Hu Feng . In the end, she just nodded her head: “Let’s eat . ”
Thinking about that Meng Nan will leave Qingyuan Town in 3 days, her previous plan must be carried out in advance . Otherwise, her plan will not succeed once Meng Nan leave .

“Niang, I will go to town tomorrow . Do you need me to buy you anything?”
Zhao Lan shook her head: “I don’t . There is nothing missing in the house . Everything is good . Why are you going to the town? Didn’t you just go there yesterday?”
Bai Zhi replied: “I didn’t intend to go tomorrow . It’s just Meng Nan will leave soon . The melons in our field are ready to be harvested . I need to go and sell it on the market tomorrow . Otherwise, if Meng Nan leaves, we will lose this big Buddha . Selling them in the market will no longer be easy . ”
When Bai Zhi’s words came out, even Hu Changlin, who had been silent for a long time, couldn’t help but ask: “You want Meng Daren to help you pave the way?”

Bai Yan smiled and said: “I will not ask him to pave the way for me . I just want him to introduce some people to me . I need an introduction . With our identity, it will be hard to meet important people . But Meng Nan is not the same, in the Qingyuan Town, who will dare not face him . ”
Hu Feng slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, then he took a cloth towel to wipe his mouth . His movement was slow and elegant . After he placed the cloth towel to the side, he slowly said: “I don’t know who just said that she doesn’t want other people’s support? You just said it, but you had forgotten about it in a blink of an eye?”
Bai Zhi tilted her chin and said, “Who said that I want his support? I will repay him . ”
Hu Feng raised his eyebrow and turned his face to look at Bai Zhi: “Really? How are you going to repay him? With your body?”
Bai Zhi was annoyed, Hu Feng was obviously finding fault with her words .
“Yes, I was planning to do that, but what about it? It’s none of your business, right?”
Even knowing that she was just talking nonsense out of anger, Hu Feng’s face still turned black . He snorted and said: “It’s none of my business, blame me for talking too much . ” Then, he got up and went to his room .
Seeing Hu Feng had a bad mood, Zhao Lan pulled Bai Zhi’s sleeve and said: “Zhi’er, what nonsense are you talking about? You know you can’t make fun with this kind of thing, right?”
