Godly Farmer Doctor: Arrogant Husband, Can't Afford To Offend! Chapter 228

Bai Zhi's face looked helpless: “This is what he started, Hu Feng deliberately stimulated me, I just give a follow-up sentence to his words."
Hu Changlin dryly laughed with his awkward looking face: "Zhi'er, don't blame Hu Feng. He is just worried about you, don't take it to heart. He has no other meaning."
Bai Zhi doesn't know, but Hu Feng's tongue was really poisonous. His words can make people feel uncomfortable, sometimes she just wants to strangle him.
Now, she was also somewhat regretting it. After all, she needs the carriage to go to the town. Hu Feng officially became her driver. He is angry now, what if he went on strike tomorrow?

In the afternoon, Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan went to their fields and dug a bag of potatoes.
The two then went and squatted on the riverside to wash the potatoes. Zhao Lao's face bloomed as she said: "Zhi'er I've never seen such a big melon before. I really didn't expect that in just a month of hard work, it will become like this. They are so big, they matured first than the wheat. It's really surprising."
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “I also didn't expect that the result will become like this. What is important now is, to quickly contact the market to sell them all."
When it comes to sales, Zhao Lan's face couldn't help but changed in color: "Zhi'er this melon poisoned some people before. Everyone knows that this is not a good thing to eat, I'm afraid that it will be hard for us to sell them."
“No worries, I have my own way.” She never intended to sell them to the people in the market. With a thousand pounds of potatoes, if she will sell them to the market, she will end up just like the old lady from before. No one will bother to even look at it.
The mother and daughter continued to wash away the soil to the potatoes. As the sun gradually settling down, the water in the river became cold. The women in the village begin to squeezing themselves towards the river to wash their clothes. Seeing the big melons, some people couldn't help but give some praise, but some people couldn't hide their true colors. Without any foods to eat in their house, they just exposed their greed.
There were too many villagers around, Bai Zhi simply pretended to be stupid. In this case, if you give one person, it is inevitable to give everyone. Otherwise, you will offend the others.
When the villagers saw that she didn't intend to contribute the melons, they also dispersed. All of them had a bitter work. Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan just separated, and their fields haven't matured yet. They planted melons first, but this kind of food rarely being eaten now. They will have a hard time to sell it. They might even rot by the time winter comes. However, they were still unwilling to give them away. Well, that was also fine.
It's just, not every person think the same, at least the Bai Family doesn't think so.
Old Lady Bai, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Zhang came to the river to wash their clothes.
In the past, their clothes will be washed either by Bai Zhi or Zhao Lan. Their hands never do this job. At most, they will just take them back after being rinsed. That's the only way they will be exposed under the sun.
But now, no one was willing to help the other to wash their clothes. They simply wash their own family's clothes.
When Mrs. Liu and the other saw Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan at the riverside. They thought they were also washing their clothes. They were planning to say a few words. But when they got closer, they saw them actually washing the melons. A bag full of big melons, looking all so delicious.
Mrs. Liu pushed Mrs. Zhang's arm, indicating her to go forward.
Mrs. Zhang took a glanced at Mrs. Liu, but she ignored her meaning. She just walked away with her basin.
Mrs. Liu then swept her eyes to the old lady. Old Lady Bai's eyes were fixed to the melons. Her throat moved after swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Their rice at home had already reached its bottom. In these past few days, they've been eating wild vegetables. They haven't eaten anything else for a long time now.
