188 Madam Bai, come home with us to be a cook!
It had always been Qu Xin’er who bullied others. How could anyone bully her?
Just as Qu Xin’er was about to lose control, Qu Lianghua suddenly came.
“Xin’er!”
His gentle voice immediately brought Qu Xin’er back to her senses.
She threw herself into Qu Lianghua’s arms and complained, “Father, they bullied me.”
Zhao Erwa immediately retorted, “Nonsense. She was the one who called us names first and even wanted to snatch our spiral potatoes!”
When Qu Lianghua let her out this morning, Qu Xin’er had promised that she would be good.
As soon as he turned around, she started arguing with the children from Youjia Village again.
Qu Lianghua’s eyes darkened. “Apologize quickly!”
Tears rolled down Qu Xin’er’s face as she said stubbornly, “No! I won’t apologize to a country bumpkin!”
Lady Yun had said that children from the countryside were only worthy of being lowly maidservants for her.
Qu Lianghua let go of her hand and said to the maidservants, “She’s unrepentant. Send Miss back to her room to be confined. You’re not allowed to take a step out until you leave Youjia Village!”
When Qu Xin’er knew that they were going to stay in this lousy place for a few more days, she immediately cowered and grabbed her father’s sleeve. “I apologize! Father, don’t lock me up. I’m afraid.”
Her aggrieved expression made Qu Lianghua’s heart soften a little, and his tone became gentle. “Xin’er, be good. If Xin’er apologizes to the children, you won’t be locked up.”
Qu Xin’er lowered her head and hid her resentful gaze. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’m sorry.”
Little Peach and the others were generous children. Since she had apologized, they would not argue with her.
Zhao Erwa nimbly sheathed his sword. “Then forget it.”
Little Peach tugged at Zhao Erwa. “Let’s go.”
Although she had forgiven Qu Xin’er, Little Peach did not want to stand with the person who had badmouthed Bai Wutong.
The little children immediately echoed and ran away happily like butterflies. “Let’s go pick the lotus heads!”
Qu Lianghua originally wanted the little children to bring Qu Xin’er along to play. When he saw them leave, he looked at Qu Xin’er, who was clenching her fists as if she had been humiliated. He picked her up and comforted her gently, “Xin’er, do you want to see the tree? There’s a huge tree ahead.”
Qu Xin’er said gloomily, “It’s boring. I’m not going!”
The maidservants immediately suggested, “Miss said that she wants to eat spiral potatoes.”
Qu Lianghua was stunned. “Spiral potatoes?” Why had he never heard of such potatoes?
Although Qu Xin’er did not speak, her eyes flickered.
The maidservants continued, “That group of children was holding spiral potatoes just now. They even said that only Madam Bai and Master Chu know how to make spiral potatoes.”
Hearing the maidservants mention Madam Bai, Qu Lianghua recalled that he had seen Cui Lingyi and Cui Muzhi go to the right just now. They were probably going to look for Madam Bai.
His eyes flashed as he said to Qu Xin’er, “Let’s go look for Madam Bai and ask her to help you make spiral potatoes, okay?”
It was just skewers of snacks. She probably would not be so stingy.
Qu Xin’er recalled what Little Peach and the others had said just now. If she went to Bai Wutong’s house, they would not make it for her. She did not think much about eating the spiral potatoes, but she had no choice but to go so that she could prove it to them.
There was nothing she, Qu Xin’er, could not eat.
Qu Xin’er nodded and smiled. “Then let’s go quickly!”
After a while, they arrived at the door of Bai Wutong’s house.
On the way here, Qu Lianghua specially instructed Qu Xin’er to be polite, especially when she saw Miss Cui.
Han Muye and Chu Tianbao were bathing Xiaobai.
Xiaobai lay lazily on the ground. Bai Wutong soaped it and rubbed bubbles from it. It narrowed its eyes in enjoyment, like a pig that had become a spirit.
Chu Tianbao carried the spray machine on his back and waited for the instructions from Bai Wutong to spray water on Xiaobai. When he saw Bai Wutong washing Little White’s butt seriously, he muttered softly, “My wife has never washed it for me.”
Bai Wutong suddenly looked around. Fortunately, Cui Lingyi and Cui Muzhi were feeding grass to the rabbit in the cage. Their attention was not here, so they did not hear his words.
Her ears turned red as she glared at him. “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Chu Tianbao pursed his lips and aimed the spray rod at Xiaobai’s butt.
Xiaobai raised its head lazily, as if it was saying, “If you have the ability, be a piggy wolf.”
Chu Tianbao was so angry that he wanted to make a wolf fur scarf for Bai Wutong.
At this moment, Qu Xin’er and Qu Lianghua entered. Xiaobai’s lazy eyes suddenly turned sharp as it opened its mouth and let out a long howl.
At the first glance, Qu Lianghua noticed Cui Lingyi in the courtyard and his heart involuntarily skipped a beat. When Qu Xin’er saw Xiaobai, she was so frightened that she shrank into Qu Lianghua’s arms.
At this moment, Qu Xin’er was more afraid of Xiaobai than wanting to eat spiral potatoes. She grabbed Qu Lianghua’s clothes and said urgently, “Father, Father, let’s go quickly! Xin’er is afraid!”
It was not easy for Qu Lianghua to see Cui Lingyi, and it would be rude to leave without saying goodbye.
He couldn’t help but comfort her. “It’s fine, Xin’er. Madam Bai’s pet won’t hurt you.”
Xiaobai howled again. A wolf’s howl sounded quite frightening.
Qu Xin’er was so frightened that she cried.
Bai Wutong thought that Qu Lianghua was here for something. Seeing that Qu Xin’er was so afraid of Xiaobai, she asked Chu Tianbao to bring Xiaobai to a corner to wash it.
Xiaobai disappeared from Qu Xin’er’s sight and she finally calmed down.
Bai Wutong asked, “What’s the matter, Young Master Qu?”
Qu Lianghua did not know how capable she was. He thought that she was just a woman who was on good terms with Yang Quanzi, which was why she was respected by his father.
He felt that it was not too much to ask Bai Wutong for help in making a skewer of spiral potatoes, but with Cui Lingyi here, it was still not appropriate for him to ask.
...
Qu Lianghua looked at his daughter and coaxed her. “Why are you looking for Madam Bai? Xin’er.”
Qu Xin’er finally remembered her “business” and raised her chin. “I want a skewer of spiral potatoes!”
Her attitude was really rude.
Qu Lianghua felt a little embarrassed and glanced at Cui Lingyi. “Xin’er, speak properly!”
Qu Xin’er thought that if she got the spiral potatoes, she could show off to that group of children. Her tone softened reluctantly. “Madam Bai, I want a skewer of spiral potatoes. Can you make me one? I can give you money.”
On account of Qu Yuanxian, she nodded. “Wait a moment.”
Chu Tianbao had fried a lot for the children earlier, so there was still some left.
Not long after, she came out of the kitchen with two spiral potatoes.
She handed it to the father and daughter, but had no intention of keeping them any longer.
When Qu Xin’er received the spiral potatoes, she could not help but be tempted by the smell. She took a bite and said in amazement, “It’s so delicious! Madam Bai, come home with us to be our cook! You can make me spiral potatoes every day!
