Chapter 82: Laundry Chicken? What Kind of Chicken is That?

Bai Yunxing never expected that he would get a chance to interact directly with the two maids who followed Liang Tian’er.

【I wonder if these two sisters know about the Mu Family. I need to find a way to send word that I’m still alive!】

Bai Yunxing pondered over this in his heart.

Juanjuan was already used to the family members speaking in their minds simultaneously.

The child focused on eating the meat pie, ignoring the “chatter” from the family.

The meat pie was truly delicious, and throughout the meal, almost no one spoke.

Seeing that there were five meat pies left, Jiang Dai packed them in a basket and went next door to the Wang family.

After giving the pies to Granny Wang, Jiang Dai returned home.

She went back to catch up on her sleep.

Bai Tian also wanted to take a nap, but seeing Jiang Dai asleep, he decided to hold off and sleep in the afternoon.

After all, it wouldn’t be responsible if both adults in the house were asleep.

Who knew if someone from Zhenxiu Restaurant might come today?

At Zhenxiu Restaurant.

Kang An, after a night of drunken revelry, was not to be disturbed.

Thus, when he got up the next day, he finally learned what had happened to Wang Maquan and the others.

“Clear skies, struck by lightning, a sudden fog so thick you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face?”

Kang An spoke with a tone of disbelief.

If it weren’t for the fact that everyone said the same thing, he wouldn’t have believed it.

But since the stories were consistent, could it be that there really was something strange about the Bai Family?

Kang An pondered whether he should go check it out himself.

But looking at Wang Maquan and the others, who were bruised and battered, he hesitated. What if it was true?

While Kang An was contemplating, a person came to his mind.

Kang An leaned to the side, lowered his voice, and instructed his guard to quickly handle the matter.

Watching the guard leave, a smile crept onto Kang An’s lips.

This small farming family, the Bai Family, was becoming increasingly interesting!

…

“Dad, I’m going to pick wild vegetables!”

Bai Yunqi shouldered his basket and called out to his father, who was doing laundry in the yard.

The eight-year-old’s smile was brighter than the rising sun behind him.

Bai Tian, who was scrubbing clothes with a weary expression: …

“Go on, go on! Come back early, and remember to eat.”

Bai Tian stretched his sore arms from washing clothes, gave his instructions, and then continued scrubbing.

【I don’t know why this kid is so happy picking wild vegetables!】

【I miss washing machines so much! I think they’re the greatest invention ever!】

【Oh gods, immortals, lords, demons—whichever one, could you bless me with a washing machine?】

The more Bai Tian thought about it, the more bitter he felt, channeling all his frustration into scrubbing the clothes.

Juanjuan, who was collecting eggs nearby: ?

The child looked puzzled at his father, who seemed about to tear the clothes apart, and frowned slightly.

Laundry chicken? What kind of chicken is that? A chicken that helps people do laundry?

“Bawk bawk.”

The hen at his feet clucked twice, and Juanjuan looked down at it.

He really couldn’t imagine what a chicken that could do laundry would look like!

Unable to figure it out, Juanjuan stopped thinking about it, squatted down, and retrieved a warm egg from the coop.

Seeing the normal egg, Juanjuan was delighted.

Recently, the family had been eating better, and so had the chickens. Some leftover food was fed to them, and the previously soft eggshells were now normal.

After securing the egg, Juanjuan went to see the rabbit his third brother had brought back.

This was the first time Juanjuan had ever seen a rabbit, and it was a beautiful white one.

“A white rabbit!”

Dongqu’s surprised voice came from the side.

Juanjuan asked, “Auntie, what’s special about the white rabbit?”

“In Jingcheng, Princess Zhaoyang has a white rabbit. They’re quite rare.”

“Princess… Zhaoyang? Is she very rich?”

Juanjuan didn’t know what a princess was, but she knew Jingcheng was a faraway place with many wealthy people.

Dongqu chuckled softly. In front of children, adults often reveal a more childish side.

Dongqu tilted her head in thought and looked at Juanjuan, speaking gently:

“Well… Princess Zhaoyang is indeed very wealthy, but she also holds a high status. In Jingcheng, she’s a role model for most noble girls.”

“Before I left Jingcheng with my lady, Princess Zhaoyang had found a rare young white rabbit, and other young ladies in Jingcheng were searching for one too.”

“But didn’t you say white rabbits are hard to find? Did they find any?”

Dongqu shook her head. “I don’t know, but probably not many did.”

Juanjuan was puzzled. “Shouldn’t the young ladies in Jingcheng have lots of silver? Can’t they buy one?”

“Some things can’t be bought with money.”

“White rabbits are rare, and those young ladies want them as pets, so they need to catch them alive. Even if they catch a live rabbit, if it’s a young one, it’s fine. But if it’s a wild one, they need to tame it, which is difficult.”

After listening to Dongqu, Juanjuan blinked.

Dongqu smiled. “It’s okay if you don’t understand, Juanjuan.”

The next moment.

Juanjuan said, “Then can we sell our little white rabbit for money?”

Dongqu: …

Didn’t she just reassure the child that it was okay not to understand?

Is this not understanding?

This child not only understood but also applied it to realize that the family’s white rabbit was valuable.

“It can be sold,” Dongqu answered truthfully.

“Then I’ll go tell Dad!”

Juanjuan was thrilled to hear this, stood up, and ran to where Bai Tian was.

“Daddy!”

The little one’s eyes sparkled with joy, much like the happy puppies Bai Tian had once seen online!

“Yes, Juanjuan, what’s up?”

Bai Tian, who had been feeling a bit resentful, was instantly cheered up by his little girl.

Juanjuan stood by her father, pointing to where the rabbit was.

“Auntie Dongqu said the noble girls in Jingcheng are looking for white rabbits and offering a lot of silver. We have a rabbit.”

In just a few words, Juanjuan conveyed the most important information. It might not have been very coherent, but it was clear enough to understand.

Bai Tian didn’t notice this about Juanjuan.

He simply looked at Dongqu, who had also walked over. “Are people in Jingcheng paying for white rabbits?”

“Yes, Princess Zhaoyang is a trendsetter among the noble girls in Jingcheng. Whether it’s fashion, makeup, food, or pets, she sets the trends.”
