When Auntie Lin saw that there were still many things left to organize at Chen Baiyi’s house, she took her granddaughter from her arms. “Go ahead and attend to your business. If there’s anything I can help with, just tell me.”

“Thank you, Auntie Lin.” Chen Baiyi sent Auntie Lin and the little girl, who was making a fuss about playing with her, to the door with a smile.

Auntie Lin told the little girl that she could come and play next time.

After Chen Baiyi returned to the courtyard, the smile on her face disappeared. There was no need to think too much about today’s matter. The mastermind must be her “good” stepmother. Otherwise, why would Auntie Liu suddenly look for her today when she usually didn’t have much interaction with Auntie Liu? She had to take revenge, but the most important thing was to earn money. An idea flashed across her mind.

Chen Baiyi packed up and left. Not long after, she met Dog Two, a gangster in the village, on the way. Dog Two was standing under a big tree and smoking. When he saw Chen Baiyi coming, he stopped smoking and ran away.

When Chen Baiyi saw his sneaky appearance, she felt that he must have some secret. As she shouted, she rushed up to chase after Dog Two. After running for a long time, Dog Two could not hold on anymore and panted. “Don’t… Don’t chase me anymore. I surrender.” He did not know how a weak woman like Chen Baiyi could run for so long.

Chen Baiyi caught up with him and grabbed Dog Two’s collar. “Why are you running? Did you do something shady?”

“What… what do you mean? I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Dog Two kept struggling to shake off Chen Baiyi’s hand. However, Chen Baiyi grabbed it firmly, and the exhausted Dog Two could not break free at all.

“You were the one who started what happened this morning, right?” Seeing that Dog Two wanted to shake his head, Chen Baiyi exerted strength in her hand and threatened fiercely, “If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll go to the village chief…”

“Don’t. I’ll talk. Chen Xinyue asked me to do it. She asked me to spread the news in the village. She said… said that you were a jinx, and then…”

“They wanted to chase me out of the village this morning.” Chen Baiyi’s voice was terrifyingly calm. Seeing that she was so calm, Dog Two was a little afraid.

Chen Baiyi was secretly shocked. It was actually not Zhang Xiumei. On second thought, the two of them were both wicked people. Chen Xinyue had really followed her biological mother’s footsteps since she was so vicious at such a young age.

Chen Baiyi sneered. When Dog Two heard this, he thought that she did not believe him and hurriedly explained, “I’m telling the truth. I’m not lying to you.” Dog Two was regretting it now. He was only spreading rumors about Chen Baiyi, and he did not want to chase her out of the village. He did not expect the matter to be so serious.

Chen Baiyi naturally believed him. However, he was also an accomplice. How could she let him off so easily? He was considered one of the top gangsters in the village, so he should have a lot of connections. With this in mind, she had an idea.

“If you say so, then so be it. If no one told the truth this morning, I would have been chased out of the village now.” Chen Baiyi suddenly looked at him angrily.

“I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t want to chase you out of the village. Give me a chance to remedy this.” Dog Two was frightened by Chen Baiyi and begged in a panic.

When Chen Baiyi heard this, her tone softened. “I can forgive you, but you have to help me find a way to buy pig head meat.”
