Chapter 21 Going Down the River to Catch Fish
Gu Xirong was leaning on the bed sewing the soles of shoes. She put the needle into the soles and put them inside the bed. She pulled Bai Suzhi over and said, "You are going out alone? What mission are you going on?"

"I'm going to go next door to find Sister Xiaohua. We'll follow Sister Dahua out. We'll catch the cicadas. My sister didn't say anything else."

Gu Xirong combed Bai Suzhi's hair with a comb, "Okay, go! Be back before noon! Don't forget to tell your grandparents before you go out."

Bai Suzhi looked at himself in the mirror above the washstand and was very satisfied with the three little tufts of hair on his head.

In her previous life, both sisters had short hair. When she was eight or nine years old, she envied the girls in her class who had their mothers braid their hair into beautiful braids every day. However, she and her sister were busy battling wits and courage with their step-grandmother every day and had no time to dress up.

She also asked her sister why they didn't have a mother, but her sister just hugged her and cried. Since then, she never asked again.

It’s great now, she will have her mother to braid her hair in the future.

It’s just that dividing the family is a problem. I didn’t expect her father to agree. The stumbling block ahead is her uncle and third uncle’s family.

Bai Suzhi thought as he walked out of the house with his short legs.

She didn't know when the quarrel in the main room ended. Several cousins were sweeping the yard. As soon as she walked over, she was swept by muddy grass leaves.

She stamped her feet, ignored them, and walked around them into the main room to find her grandparents.

"You stupid girl, you don't even say a word!"

The eldest cousin Bai Zhenhua was chatting and laughing with other cousins. When he heard his younger brother Bai Zhenliang scolding Bai Suzhi, he went up and slapped Bai Zhenliang, "What are you talking about!"

Bai Suzhi limped into the main room and got into her grandmother's arms, "Grandma, my third cousin hit my feet with a broom, it hurts~"

She pinched her thigh and tears welled up in her eyes.

Wang Xiufen looked down and saw that her granddaughter's shoes were still stained with grass and dirt. "Don't cry, Suzhi, this little bastard. Grandma will help you deal with her."

"Grandma, forget it. He will hit me harder after he gets beaten."

Bai Suzhi hurriedly grabbed her grandmother and told her third cousin to suffer a little. If her third cousin was beaten by her grandmother, her eldest aunt would torture her and her daughter behind their backs.

The old white-haired man also grabbed Wang Xiufen and said, "Stop beating him. Don't let him go down to the river to play in the afternoon. Make him winnow the wheat instead."

"Go down the river?" Bai Suo didn't know much about the area around his hometown in his previous life.

Wang Xiufen twisted her third cousin and scolded him, "You are not allowed to bully your sister. You are not allowed to go fishing in the river this afternoon. You are winnowing wheat in the yard with your mother and third aunt."

Her third cousin wailed, "Nurse, no!"

"You're a snitch!" Her third cousin pointed at her and shouted.

"Lululu," Bai Suzhi made a face at his third cousin and ran out the door.

"Xiaohua, are you at home?" Bai Suzhi ran to the yard next door. The yard was a little bit sunken and there was water accumulated in it, but it was clean.
