Chapter 523 Someone Is Spying

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

"What a mean-spirited girl. She has money to adopt a stranger, but she doesn't have money to lend to her own relatives. She adopted a daughter halfway through, but I don't know what she's going to do with it?"

Bai Chao paused when he heard this. "Mother, what adopted daughter are you talking about?"

"What else could it be? That little girl adopted an older girl from somewhere. She looks more than 20 years old and is cold and indifferent. They just went to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables together."

Bai Chao listened with surprise in his eyes. What's the point of adopting an older girl?

"Did Bai Yunxi say that?"

"Yes, she said that they had a good impression of each other and adopted a daughter on purpose."

Yan pouted. Her family was almost out of food, and that little girl had created another mouth to feed. With so many children in the family, they were all hungry. She adopted an outsider. I really don't know what she was thinking?

"Mom, go back first. I have something else to do."

With that, Bai Chao turned around and left without waiting for Yan to speak. Yan didn't even call him to stop.

Bai Yunxi carried a small shovel in his hand and took Wenyou along the river to the back hillside. It was spring when all kinds of wild vegetables were in season, and it was also the busiest time for the children and the elderly in the village.

Some people eat wild vegetables to taste them, while others eat them to fill their stomachs.

Looking at the children on the hillside, Bai Yunxi avoided them and walked a distance further in.

"There is a shallow beach ahead, maybe we can find snails."

Wenyou carried a basket on her back and followed Bai Yunxi. When she pinched a bud here and a few leaves there and put them in the basket, she could smell a fresh fragrance.

When they reached the shallow beach, Bai Yunxi looked at the clear river water, looked along the river for a while, and reached out to touch the water temperature.

"It's still a little cold to get into the water at this time. "

Bai Yunxi pulled aside the water plants beside him, and there were many small shrimps hiding underneath. Because the water quality was good, the whole shrimp was transparent. Unfortunately, because they were too small, they were too oily to eat, so no one was willing to eat them.

"Wenyou, find me some leaves, pick up some small river shrimps and fry them as snacks."

"Okay."

Wenyou looked around, and finally folded a banana leaf that had not yet opened and handed it over.

Bai Yunxi spread the banana leaves in the basket and used the basket as a colander. After shoveling it down several times, he got more than a pound of lively river shrimps.

"Instead of listening to people complaining at home, it's better to go out and have fun. A person who hasn't seen me for a long time came up and asked for money. She had the nerve to ask, but I was embarrassed to agree. "

Bai Yunxi picked up the water plants and shook his head.

"A man who is over 30 years old and has not married yet, any girl who marries him will suffer. If I lend him money, I will be helping him to do evil and help him to bully others. "

Wenyou listened, thinking of old women like Yan, and nodded in agreement.

"They rely on borrowing money to marry a daughter-in-law. Such a family is really unreliable."

Bai Yunxi cleaned the shrimps and wrapped them in banana leaves. Before he spoke, he found that Wenyou's eyes were sharp and he immediately became alert.

"Someone is approaching."

Bai Yunxi put the basket on the ground, supported his waist and stood up. He glanced around inadvertently. With the slight wind, a piece of clothes fluttered out from behind the big tree.

There were only two of them around. This person was hiding behind the big tree and peeping secretly. It was so easy to be discovered. He was either a village leper or someone from other villages.

Bai Yunxi glanced at Wenyou and winked at her,

"Youyou, let's go over there and take a look. I see there are a few wolfberry trees there. Pick some and steam them at home. "
