Chapter 850 Meeting Zhou
Listening to her mother-in-law's calm tone, Du Shi felt her heart tremble for some reason.
"Mom, I..."
Seeing Du Shi's anxious look, Bai Yunxi waved his hand.
"Don't be in a hurry to answer. Just think about it when you get back and give me an answer in the next two days.
Seeing Du Shi walking away with heavy steps, Bai Yunxi sighed, is it all the boss's cub who is to blame? Ever since he appeared, there has been a lot of excitement in the house.
Seeing Mrs. Du leaving with red eyes, Mrs. Zhu looked at her sympathetically, then went into the room to wait on her, poured a glass of water for Baiyunxi, and cautiously comforted her.
"Don't be sad, old lady. It is said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Children will have their own ideas when they grow up."
In fact, she didn't think so. With a family like the Bai family, it wasn't a big deal for the men in the family to have several concubines. That is to say, the old lady in their family is strict with the men, so the house is clean.
Listening to Mrs. Zhu's words, Baiyunxi was silent. No matter what the era was like, under her jurisdiction, men were never allowed to have three wives and four concubines. They didn't even have a career. How could they have the nerve to covet beauty?
In the past few years as an old mother, she has long been accustomed to this identity and mission...
Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi's heart moved. She had been scolding the boss for so many days, but why was there no movement in the system?
Just as this idea came into my mind, there was a buzz of electricity, and a virtual electronic screen popped up next to it, and a line of words was typed out.
The host is not summoned and the system will not pop up automatically.
I don’t know if it’s Bai Yunxi’s illusion, but I always feel that the screen is blurry.
Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of his mouth. From the perspective of the system, how should we deal with this bastard like the boss?
As long as the host does not abandon it, it is up to the host to decide how to place it.
Looking at the subtitles popping up on the virtual screen, Bai Yunxi curled his lips and nodded with satisfaction. Does this mean that the two parties have a happy cooperation?
Zhila,zhila~
The system is helpless. After experiencing so many hosts, this is the only host that has the least desire to use the system. Apart from signing in, there is no thought of even thinking about it... In the past few years, the frequency of its appearance can be counted on one hand.
The virtual screen flashed a few times and then disappeared automatically.
After Du's side was relieved, Baiyunxi was not idle either. After breakfast the next day, he changed into light clothes and took Wenyou out.
If you want to solve the problem in a low-key manner, you must deal with it before the white bear cub comes to your door.
Baiyunxi decided to meet at the teahouse, which was still a private room on the second floor.
Half an hour later, Wenyou and Zhou pushed the door open and came in.
Entering the elegant room, Mrs. Zhou immediately saw the woman sitting behind the tea table. She seemed to be young. She was dressed in a simple and elegant dress, with a bun and an old silver hairpin. Her dress was simple and casual, and her temperament mild.
The way she looked at him was a bit strange, as if he knew her, but Zhou rummaged through his memory and found no such face.
Bai Yunxi looked at the confusion in Zhou's eyes and pointed to the chair opposite.
"It's a bit unexpected to invite you here rashly, so don't worry, just sit down and talk."
Mrs. Zhou nodded and was not polite.
"I wonder what you want from me?"
Listening to Mrs. Zhou's inquiry, Wenyou looked at her lightly and sat near the door.
Baiyunxi didn't hide anything, and went straight to the point.
"I am Bai Anchen's mother."
Zhou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Baiyunxi. Then she stood up from her chair in surprise and gave a serious salute. She was a little at a loss for a moment.
It was only in the past two days that she learned about Guanren's life experience. She was conflicted in her heart when she was suddenly called out by this cold-faced girl. Unexpectedly, it was her mother-in-law whom she had never met before.
"Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions. I just found out about your existence when I suddenly saw the boss coming to the door. I was a little curious, so I asked someone to call you out to talk."
Out of his good impression of Mr. Zhou, Baiyunxi didn't show any airs at all.
Although Zhou was confused, she could feel Baiyunxi's kindness and felt at ease.
"I wonder what you want to know?"
Baiyunxi poured her a cup of tea and asked softly,
"How did you and Bai Anchen meet?"
Hearing Bai Yunxi's inquiry, Mr. Zhou was stunned.
"To be honest, Guanren and I met on the road. My family runs a large car shop and often travels in and out of the city. Once our fleet broke down and got stuck in the mud and couldn't get out. I also didn't know how to get out of the car. I accidentally injured my leg, and when I was in trouble, I happened to meet an officer. He helped us pull the car out, and it got all muddy. I felt sorry for him, so I arranged for him to rest in an inn. "
"... Later I heard that the official came to Fucheng alone to study, but due to an accident, he lost all his money and left only a few books. I saw that it was not easy for him to be alone and he was a scholar, so I arranged for him to stay in the backyard of the inn."
"Everyone in the inn said that he studied hard, and you could hear his loud reading every morning. He was humble and reasonable, and he also helped with the work in the inn. Later, we learned that he was still a child, and he was quite popular. At that time, something happened at home and the innkeeper had to go back to visit his relatives. I recommended him to be the temporary innkeeper, so I agreed to give him a place to stay. "
When Zhou said this, she saw that Bai Yunxi was listening attentively, without any sign of impatience, and her tone became much calmer.
"That's it. We have become familiar with each other from time to time. Even if the shopkeeper returns, I will still let him serve as the accountant. I usually help with the accounting and let him use the remaining free time as he pleases."
"It was not until he asked the official matchmaker to come to my house to propose marriage that I seriously considered our relationship. He promised me in Sanbao that after we got married, he would study hard and strive to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible so that I could live a peaceful life."
"My parents only have me as their daughter. Originally, they were planning to find a son-in-law for me. After meeting you, they no longer insisted on finding a son-in-law. Anyway, you are alone in the city, without any relatives or friends, so it doesn't matter whether you come to my house or not. Besides, he still wants to pass the imperial examination, so I naturally won't make things difficult for him."
"When the official matchmaker came to propose marriage again, I agreed. You married me according to the three matchmakers and six betrothals. Now we have a son who is a little over one year old."
Listening to Zhou's tone, Bai Yunxi nodded and understood what she meant. The two were not having an affair without a matchmaker.
"In the past few years since we got married, what do you think of Bai Anchen's character? Are we still in harmony?"
Hearing Bai Yunxi's question, Zhou's face tightened, and her eyes were filled with sadness and struggle.
"To be honest, we did have many disagreements in the past few years, and as time went by, the differences became bigger and bigger."
Zhou was very smart. She didn't say anything bad about Bai Anchen in front of Bai Yunxi, but directly stated that their life was not harmonious.
"When a couple lives together, it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps. Only by understanding and tolerating each other can they last long."
