Chapter 185:

On the way back to the Huangtou Village, the more Hu Feng think about it, the more he felt wronged. In anger, he suddenly stopped the horse and went down the carriage.

Bai Zhi was leaning on the carriage without care when suddenly, the carriage stopped. She was not prepared at all, due to force, her body flew forward and slammed on the wall. Bai Zhi felt like she could see the stars, as the blood poured down from her nose.

When Hu Feng came in, he was shocked to see Bai Zhi’s nose was bleeding. The anger in his heart disappeared without a trace. He then hurriedly grabbed the handkerchief in her hand and helped her plug her nostrils.

Bai Zhi looked up and squinted her eyes at him: “Hey, look at how you drive? Why did you suddenly stop? If this happened again, I’ll definitely be killed by you.”

Seeing her shouting in anger, it seemed like her condition is not bad. Hu Feng secretly felt relieved inside his heart. Bu then, he remembered his purpose of stopping the carriage. Hu Feng’s face sank and said: “You said that you will help me cure my amnesia. Is that true or a lie?”

Bai Zhi’s eyes rolled, then said with a bad tone: “Do you think I’m lying to you? When did I ever fool you?”

Hu Feng pointed his finger to the cloth bad and said: “You have so many medicines in there to save lives, why you didn’t use them to me? You’ve only met Meng Nan for a few days, but your willing to use them to him. Why can’t you use them for me?”

When Hu Feng said those words, his heart was full of sour.

It’s just a pity, Bai Zhi didn’t sense it. Well, Hu Feng himself didn’t realize that there was a trace of sourness in his words.

Bai Zhi said: “I’ll tell you two important things. First, to your illness, these things are useless. Secondly, I just got these things. If I had this earlier, do you think me and my Niang need to eat so many suffering?”

So that was the case, she just got these things. Well, she’s always doing things right under his eyes. So, where did she get all these things?

Without waiting for him to ask, Bai Zhi initiated: “You better not ask me another question. I will not answer you even if you ask nicely. Who in this world doesn’t have a secret or two? I don’t want to say anything about it, so it’s useless for you to ask.”

Hu Feng closed his mouth. Since she refused to say it, asking more about it is useless. But then, he will wait for the day she herself is willing to say it.

Hu Feng didn’t say another word, he turned around and leave, then continued driving.

When Mrs. Liu came back from the outside, she saw Old Lady Bai was sitting in the courtyard while massaging her legs. In these past few days, she almost went outside every day to dig wild vegetables. Her old arms and legs have been idled for many years, so now they got overwhelmed by work.

Mrs. Liu went close to the old lady and said: “Niang, did you know, Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan starting to build their house.”

Old Lady Bai immediately stopped massaging her leg, then looked up at Mrs. Liu: “Starting to build? Isn’t it too early? Which foreman did they talk too?”

Mrs. Liu shook her head, but then her eyes flashed with anger: “I just went to look. They are not people in our village. They are all foreigners. There is quite a few numbers of them. I think there were a dozen or more people. They brought bricks with them. That dead girl bought so many bricks, she must be planning to build a big house. She must have asked those people in the town to build her a house.”

Old Lady Bai was so shocked that she stood up immediately in her chair: “What? She wants to build a brick house? And she also hired a dozen or more people?”

Mrs. Liu nodded her head: “Their lot is not big, but they bought a lot of bricks. For sure, they are planning to build a brick house.”
