Chapter 210 Who to Blame

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Mrs. Zheng patted her chest.

"Sister, the people in the village are so mad at me. I haven't had a good night's sleep for your cousin in the past few days.

As she spoke, Mrs. Zheng fanned herself with a handkerchief, her chest rising and falling with anger.

"These people in the village are so venomous. What they say is really unpleasant, as if I have stolen something."

Baiyunxi poured a bowl of water and handed it to her.

"What kind of people in the village don't you know? Don't be familiar with them. Just like when we moved to the shack, we often had people saying sarcastic things behind our backs. We just ignored them. If I had argued with them one by one, I would have been a long time ago. Mad.

Zheng naturally knew what kind of life Baiyunxi was having in those days, but she just couldn't swallow it.

Why?

"Oh, you don't know. My heart has been hurting these past few days. These people in the village don't hold back their words. What they say can choke people to death. Your cousin hasn't been out for two days."

Even so, those meddlesome people went to the house to inquire about the situation, saying that they were unkind and would not save others.

Some people even said that they were involved in things that harmed people. How could something as serious as harming people's lives be framed casually?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Zheng looked at Baiyunxi.

"Sister, to be fair, should we really not buy your old house?"

Listening to Zheng's inquiry, Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment.

"Why do you ask, sister-in-law?"

"If it weren't for this, such an incident wouldn't have happened. Sister-in-law, I just couldn't figure it out, so I came here to ask."

Bai Yunxi looked at him calmly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said calmly,

"The house has been paid off and no longer belongs to us. We have no right to interfere with whoever the Ma family wants to sell it to. I was quite surprised when I learned that my cousin bought it."

Speaking of this, Bai Yunxi looked at Zheng's somewhat unnatural expression and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Actually, isn't it strange that the people in the village are curious? The only reason is that our two families are too close, which makes people think more. Now that the facts have been established, you don't pay too much attention to it, and it will fade away after a while."

"My cousin has lived in the village for half her life. Doesn't my sister-in-law know better than me the tempers and thoughts of the people in the village?"

Listening to Bai Yunxi's calm tone, Ms. Zheng was stunned for a moment. She stared at this cousin for a moment, but she couldn't see the joy or anger on her face.

After calming down the anger in her heart, Ms. Zheng took a deep breath.

"That's what I say, but I still can't help it. It is said that every family has its own difficulties. When your family was in a situation, the father-in-law and the head of the family really tried their best."

"There are a lot of children and brothers in the family. Even if there is a little extra money on hand, it doesn't matter if the head of the family says so."

Zheng's meaning was very clear. The two of them did not reach out at that time because other brothers intervened.

Listening to Zheng's tone, Bai Yunxi lowered the look in her eyes.

In my memory, the second cousin and his wife were invisible except for working at home. Mrs. Zheng used this to block her mouth, in a standard way of covering up her ears and stealing her bell.

But the matter has passed, and she doesn't want to talk about what was right and wrong in the past. After all, it was a matter between the original owner and them, and it has little to do with her now.

In addition, the help between brothers is also limited. Helping others excessively will only bring down oneself. Based on the original owner's situation at the time, she did not agree with this kind of help without a bottom line.
