Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Xiuxiu, Don’t Be Angry Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Xiuxiu, Don’t Be Angry Seeing Ye Xiu’s face darken, Bai Da panicked all of a sudden and hastily tried to explain without knowing what to do.

“Xiuxiu, listen to me, I didn’t fail to register Bai Zhi. When I arrived, Bai Zhi had already registered. Look, look, I have all the money ready.”

Bai Da immediately took out the money, which still included the remaining one hundred yuan, to prove he wasn’t lying.

Ye Xiu watched him flustered, his face reddening as he explained, and didn’t know why.

She always felt that her trust wasn’t as high as before, maybe she had changed?

“Is that so, then give me the money, since Dad has already provided it, then it should go to Dad.”

Ye Xiu didn’t hesitate to take the money, ready to give it to Bai Dan.

Bai Dan looked at Bai Da’s stiff face with a smirk that was not quite a smile. Don’t think he didn’t know, this lad was clearly just watching to see if he would register, knowing they had come to register, and only then did he show up.

All of Bai Da’s cunning plans were focused on this, thinking he was smart, but in reality, his slip-ups were everywhere, or maybe he didn’t want to hide them at all.

Bai Da felt somewhat heartbroken because the money was meant to buy new lunchboxes for the children, since they brought their own lunches.

They’d bring their lunches directly to school every day, where the canteen would help steam the rice, all for ten yuan a semester. Of course, they could also eat in the school canteen, just paying the money.

Because many of the children were from nearby, at most it was a half-hour walk, or like Bai Zhi’s, an hour, which wasn’t much.

So, everyone had their lunches steamed. Everyone’s lunchboxes were stored together, and if they weren’t new, they would be ridiculed.

“No need, I’ve said before, Xingxing doesn’t need you to take care, and Ye Xiu, you don’t need to do this. If you want to do something for Xingxing, I won’t object, but I will naturally take care of the tuition and living expenses. No need for you to worry, and no need to mention it again.”

Bai Dan was always as good as his word, and Ye Xiu, seeing how resolute Bai Dan was, didn’t know what to do. They were Xingxing’s parents, it was right for them to pay for the schooling.

But Grandpa insisted so firmly, she could only sigh.

“Dad, I understand.”

Ye Xiu thought, since she couldn’t give money directly, then she’d buy things for Xingxing, pencil boxes, notebooks, clothes, pants, it all could be, after all, the money was meant for Xingxing.

“Dad, then we will head to the town first, I need to buy some things for the kids.”

Only then did Ye Xiu turn around and look at Bai Da, who had already returned to normal,

“Dad, we’re leaving now.”

“Scram…”

For Bai Da, Bai Dan always had just one word. This son, really was foolish, a man who didn’t know how to cherish his own children, didn’t deserve to be a father. And even less to be his son.

It was easy to handle Wu Wa’s registration, just so happened to be in the same class as Bai Zhi.

In the afternoon, Bai Guang and Li Si also arrived, bringing a load of things, food, drinks, and sundries. In Li Si’s words,

“These two worry-makers, we’ll leave them to Bai Dan.” Her own two children, she knew them well, they were two treasures, always romping and stomping around.

It would be good enough if they didn’t cause trouble, but if they wanted to work hard and earn money, she supported that, and with them not at home, she could learn something herself.

So, she felt a bit apologetic, and the gifts they brought became more and more numerous.

“What are you talking about? They are my grandchildren too. You can just relax.”

Bai Dan simply waved them off, urging them to go back quickly. If they didn’t leave soon, it would get dark.

Bai Xiang and Bai Fei were also eager for them to leave quickly.

Finally, they could escape the clutches of their parents, and the joy couldn’t be overstated.

Bai Fei felt that, at last, he could eat as much as he wanted without having to listen to Mom’s nagging.

Bai Xiang thought to himself, he was going to get rich, he was going to get rich, he was going to get rich.

So, the scene Li Si imagined, with her son and daughter in tears and reluctant to part, didn’t happen.

Instead, there was a bit of happiness?

That made Li Si very frustrated, and what was even more frustrating was that the kids’ dad seemed happy too?

Of course, Bai Guang was reluctant to let go, naturally of his daughter, not Bai Xiang, but after feeling reluctant, he still felt a bit of happiness. Finally, finally, it was just him and his wife at home. Cough cough cough…

He accidentally failed to control his facial expression, and now his feelings were discovered.

On the way back, Li Si gave Bai Guang no pleasant looks at all. Their children had gone to school and they could only see them once a week—how could he still smile?

Bai Guang felt bitter inside, but he didn’t know how to express it.

Ye Xiu, accompanied by Bai Da, went shopping for bedding sets and clothes, all in Bai Zhi’s size; Bai Da didn’t dare suggest buying something for Xixi too.

Without a word, Ye Xiu placed the items in Bai Da’s hands,

“I’m heading back to school now. Remember to give these to Xingxing. If I don’t see Xingxing wearing these, I’ll have a score to settle with you.”

Ye Xiu’s tone was particularly unpleasant, finding more and more reasons to be disappointed with Bai Da.

So naturally, she didn’t spare him any friendly looks.

“Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu, don’t worry, I’ll definitely give them to Bai Zhi. Stop frowning; are you hungry? Let’s go eat. Do you have enough money? I have tens of yuan here, take it.”

As Bai Da spoke, he tried to slip the money into Ye Xiu’s pocket, who this time, without hesitation, took it.

“Your salary, give me this month’s salary.”

Ye Xiu watched as Bai Da’s face turned pale, his whole person becoming more flustered.

“I had an advance for the school fees, and the previous advance…”

Let alone this month, what Bai Da didn’t say was that he had already spent his next month’s salary too.

“Heh, so what are you going to eat this month?”

Ye Xiu was suddenly struck with laughter by anger. This Bai Da, claiming to listen to her, is this how he listens?

Spending it all and then taking advances?

He’s spent his salary in advance—is she supposed to praise him for being smart?

“We have food at home; we have vegetables, and rice too, so don’t worry. What about you? Do you have enough to spend at school?”

Bai Da never had to worry about the household meals, there was always enough.

“Really?” Ye Xiu expressed her skepticism, “I’ll come back this weekend to help you harvest the corn.”

It was the season when the corn was ripe, and they had planted some too.

“No need, no need, I can handle it myself. When the time comes, I’ll have Bai Yu and Bai Ye help, and Bai Zhi will cook at home.”

Bai Da blurted out without thinking because that’s how it always was done, even Bai Zhi would help carry the corn.

After he spoke, Bai Da saw that Ye Xiu’s face grew dark, her gaze devoid of any warmth.

“Did I say something wrong? Xiuxiu, please don’t be angry,”

Bai Da instinctively reached out to grab Ye Xiu’s hand, but she shook him off fiercely.

“Why should Xingxing help you? She’s living with her father now, not eating your food or wearing your clothes, and still has to work for you? Bai Da, how can you say such things—are you really a father?”
