Thinking of the apple in her space, she suddenly felt like she had some sort of idea. Who said that she couldn't earn money?

"Mom, you should go back first. You can help me after you've finished eating. You'll have strength then." Bai He advised. Her mother had been busy the entire day, so how could she not be tired at all?

Hearing her words, Lady Baisong could only nod his head and leave.

"I'm not seeking death." Bai He explained with difficulty.

Bai Shi frowned, he placed her on the shore and said: "You're about to jump into the river."

Bai He was exhausted, and said: "My bucket fell …."

Bai Shi looked at her expressionlessly.

When Bai He saw his expression, she was amused. She didn't know why, but she was happy when it was obvious that she wasn't in a mood.

"It's a black dragon, right?" "I really did not seek death. If I wanted to seek death, I would have paid you 10 silver coins first." Bai He joked.

"No need." Bai Shi rejected him bluntly.

Bai He curled her lips and said: "Mn, you don't need to care about it, I will still care about it."

"If you don't want to marry, you can just say so." Bai Shi suddenly spoke out, "But we are already close friends."

"Pfft!" Bai He burst out laughing. Alright, she forgot that men and women shouldn't be so intimate in this world.

Bai Shi looked at her.

Bai He thought for a while, then said: "Then ten silver is my loan. But this marriage still has to happen. " Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to find a reasonable way to leave the Bai Clan.

Though the faces were large enough to want her to be worn out after her marriage, don't even think about it!

Bai Shi looked at her, a little puzzled.

Bai He did not hide anything and said: "You should know my situation. The only thing that you can change right now is my marriage. Of course, if you are not willing, then I will think of another way. "

Actually, in her heart, she wasn't sure either. Was it just a whim for Bai Shi to help her back then, or did he really plan to marry her? However, this is what you and I want. Although Bai He didn't have that thought, he still wanted to get his hands on the agreement. Otherwise, it would be awkward for the two of them to live under the same roof.

Bai Shi shook his head and said, "Alright."

"Thank you." Bai He was truly grateful to him from the bottom of her heart. If not for him, she would definitely still be trapped in the Bai Family.

Bai Shi shook his head.

"Ah, my bucket!" Bai He suddenly thought of this matter and hurriedly turned around to fish. In the end, she was not able to stand still and actually fell into the water.

It would be fine if he didn't just throw in the water.

Bai He spread open her arms, drew many circles in the air, but she still could not stand steadily. Just as she was about to fall, he was stopped by Bai Shi.

However, it was clear that the riverbank was not as stable as he had expected, and the ground that Bai Shi had stepped on actually fell down.

"Plop!" They both fell into the water.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Bai He choked on the water and started to cough loudly. Fortunately, the river was not deep, so she was not submerged in the water.

When she came out of the water, she looked at Bai Shi who was looking at her in a daze, "You, are you alright?"

Bai Shi shook his head and reached out his hand.

Bai He did not know where this courage came from, but she actually placed her hand on Yue Yang's palm, not caring about anything else.

Bai Shi held her hand tightly and slowly pulled her up.

That soft touch made Bai He feel a little surprised, and he actually had this kind of thought in his heart, he shouldn't be a fat person right?

Bai He actually couldn't say what this feeling felt like either, but looking at Bai Shi's outstanding facial features, she felt that the current fat and chubby him was definitely not his original self!

The wound on his face, on the other hand, did not look that sinister. On the contrary, it caused Bai He to sigh in admiration in his heart.

With that thought in mind, she subconsciously reached out her hand to touch the wound.

"Pah!" Bai He slapped Bai He's hand away, his expression becoming a little strange, her black eyes staring straight at Bai He, like a ferocious beast protecting its own territory.

Bai He was immediately sobered up after being stared at by him, and immediately said uncomfortably: "Sorry, I was just looking at your wound, I'm a little curious."

"You're not afraid?" Bai Shi asked.

Bai He shook his head, paused for a while, then nodded his head: "With such a ferocious wound, I would have definitely been afraid when I first looked at it, but after looking at it a few more times, I still feel that it's not too bad. Bai Shi, what do you think of my face? "

Bai Shi shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Bai He looked at him and asked: "Do you think that won't do or what?"

Bai Shi shook his head and said: "I don't know."

Bai He immediately felt comforted in her heart, it was clear that this person did not care about appearances, thus, she suddenly understood, why he could agree to such a marriage.

Just as he was about to say something, an autumn breeze blew past.

"Hiss." Bai He took a deep breath and remembered that he was still in the water, so he said: "I have to go water the plants, I hope we can get along well."

Bai He did not care what he was doing, as a grown man, she would not drown no matter what, so she bent down to look for her bucket. She was lucky, and quickly pulled it out from the mud.

Carrying the bucket, she carefully washed it clean before silently continuing to draw water.

He slowly poured the water into the bucket, and then used the old method to constantly change the stick to push.

The night grew colder and colder, Bai He's soggy clothes stuck to her body, making her feel uncomfortable. When the wind blew, she couldn't help but shiver.

"Achoo!" Bai He sneezed. It was too cold today, so she rubbed her nose and continued to water.

However, it was obvious that the efficiency of the dark night was not high. She busied herself for a long time before she finally walked to the other side. It was too dark for her to place her wooden stick in a suitable position for half a day!

She was so angry that she almost kicked the bucket of water to the ground. Unfortunately, she didn't have enough strength, so she could only cause the water to vibrate a little.

When she thought about how they had probably already rested and how she was still staying here to grind the water, she felt a little tired. It seemed that she really had to think of a way to earn money as soon as possible.

Just as she was feeling depressed, a pair of hands appeared in front of her. When she was caught off guard, she picked up the bucket and quickly walked forward.

Bai He looked at his back in shock and quickly followed him.

Along the way, he didn't say a word. It was unknown what he was thinking.

"Why are you helping me?"

"Do you not like to talk?"

"…"

Bai He did everything she could think of to talk to him, but she did not get any response.

In the end, she gave up and followed him in silence, watching him carry the water again and again, slowly watering most of the vegetable garden.

"Thank you!" Seeing this man who did not say anything, Bai He's heart was filled with gratitude. However, she was unable to express her gratitude in any way, because the other party had already finished watering him and left without looking back.

Bai He looked at his back, sighed, and then silently walked back with the bucket.

It was already late at night, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. Even the wind seemed to have stopped blowing.

Bai He lifted the barrel with much difficulty and felt a bit wronged in his heart. When had she ever suffered like this? Normally, her parents would place the best things in her hands, such as going out occasionally to summer camp or some sort of intensive training. They were reluctant to part with it.

She gritted her teeth and silently walked into the shabby thatched cottage. A desolate feeling surged through her.

"Xiao He, Xiao He, you're finally back." In the darkness, a voice sounded.

Bai He immediately understood that his mother was waiting for her, so she asked: "Mother, why aren't you lighting the lamps?"

"You, granny, will deactivate your oil when it's night time, how can you even light your lamp now?" Lady Baisong rubbed her chest as she walked out, kicking the rocks from time to time as she called out softly.

Bai He hurriedly said towards the pitch black room: "Mother, don't come over, you can't even see."

Lady Baisong stopped and said, "Xiao He, come in quickly. Mom stole a piece of cake for you, hurry up and eat it. "

Bai He heard Xisoso's voice coming from the darkness. She must be looking for that piece of cake.

"Mother." She walked over carefully, one foot continuously exploring the path ahead at a speed comparable to a tortoise's.

In the darkness, the two of them tried to get as close as possible. After searching for a long time, Bai He finally found the location of her mother.

"Xiao He, eat some quickly." Lady Baisong said as she handed the ice-cold pancake to Bai He.

Bai He held onto the hard cake, thinking that she must have brought it out with great care, or had even taken a bite, how could that be a piece of cake?

"Xiao He, is it delicious?" Lady Baisong asked from the side.

Bai He desperately swallowed that dry ball of flour. Not wanting his mother to be sad, she said, "It's delicious, of course the things mother brought back are delicious."

Bai He heard her words and felt her heart ache.

"Mother, didn't Bai Shi give granny 10 taels of silver?" Bai He looked at her and asked. Logically speaking, shouldn't he take out some money for the dowry?

Lady Baisong shook her head, unable to say a word.

Seeing her like that, Bai He understood, Lady Baisong was probably not willing.
