On the third day, Bai Yue and Bai Xiao brought a package of rice cakes to Bai Jianguo's house.
As they entered, Hao Fang was feeding chickens in the courtyard. Upon seeing the two, her gaze was sharp as knives, her face full of mockery.
"Well, well! Whose daughter-in-law has run off to our place? Must be at the wrong door, right?"
Just the day before yesterday, during the village meeting, the couple had found out about Bai Yue's divorce and her return to the village. They were both anxious because their previous calculations had come to naught! Bai Xiao's bridal gifts were definitely off the table, but they were counting on Bai Xiao leaving for school. Once that house was empty, they thought they still had a chance.
But now, with Bai Yue back with her three children, there was no room for them. They couldn't very well drive people out.
It was her parents' house, after all; they had no reason or excuse to expel anyone.
So, they resorted to cold taunts and unfriendly faces.
