Chapter 228: Washing the melons
Bai Zhi’s face looked helpless: “This is what he started, Hu Feng deliberately stimulated me, I just give a follow-up sentence to his words . ”
Hu Changlin dryly laughed with his awkward looking face: “Zhi’er, don’t blame Hu Feng . He is just worried about you, don’t take it to heart . He has no other meaning . ”
Bai Zhi doesn’t know, but Hu Feng’s tongue was really poisonous . His words can make people feel uncomfortable, sometimes she just wants to strangle him .

Now, she was also somewhat regretting it . After all, she needs the carriage to go to the town . Hu Feng officially became her driver . He is angry now, what if he went on strike tomorrow?
In the afternoon, Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan went to their fields and dug a bag of potatoes .
The two then went and squatted on the riverside to wash the potatoes . Zhao Lao’s face bloomed as she said: “Zhi’er I’ve never seen such a big melon before . I really didn’t expect that in just a month of hard work, it will become like this . They are so big, they matured first than the wheat . It’s really surprising . ”
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “I also didn’t expect that the result will become like this . What is important now is, to quickly contact the market to sell them all . ”

When it comes to sales, Zhao Lan’s face couldn’t help but changed in color: “Zhi’er this melon poisoned some people before . Everyone knows that this is not a good thing to eat, I’m afraid that it will be hard for us to sell them . ”
“No worries, I have my own way . ” She never intended to sell them to the people in the market . With a thousand pounds of potatoes, if she will sell them to the market, she will end up just like the old lady from before . No one will bother to even look at it .
The mother and daughter continued to wash away the soil to the potatoes . As the sun gradually settling down, the water in the river became cold . The women in the village begin to squeezing themselves towards the river to wash their clothes . Seeing the big melons, some people couldn’t help but give some praise, but some people couldn’t hide their true colors . Without any foods to eat in their house, they just exposed their greed .
There were too many villagers around, Bai Zhi simply pretended to be stupid . In this case, if you give one person, it is inevitable to give everyone . Otherwise, you will offend the others .

When the villagers saw that she didn’t intend to contribute the melons, they also dispersed . All of them had a bitter work . Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan just separated, and their fields haven’t matured yet . They planted melons first, but this kind of food rarely being eaten now . They will have a hard time to sell it . They might even rot by the time winter comes . However, they were still unwilling to give them away . Well, that was also fine .
It’s just, not every person think the same, at least the Bai Family doesn’t think so .
Old Lady Bai, Mrs . Liu, and Mrs . Zhang came to the river to wash their clothes .
In the past, their clothes will be washed either by Bai Zhi or Zhao Lan . Their hands never do this job . At most, they will just take them back after being rinsed . That’s the only way they will be exposed under the sun .
But now, no one was willing to help the other to wash their clothes . They simply wash their own family’s clothes .
When Mrs . Liu and the other saw Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan at the riverside . They thought they were also washing their clothes . They were planning to say a few words . But when they got closer, they saw them actually washing the melons . A bag full of big melons, looking all so delicious .
Mrs . Liu pushed Mrs . Zhang’s arm, indicating her to go forward .
Mrs . Zhang took a glanced at Mrs . Liu, but she ignored her meaning . She just walked away with her basin .
Mrs . Liu then swept her eyes to the old lady . Old Lady Bai’s eyes were fixed to the melons . Her throat moved after swallowing a mouthful of saliva . Their rice at home had already reached its bottom . In these past few days, they’ve been eating wild vegetables . They haven’t eaten anything else for a long time now .
