The Lucky Farmgirl

Upon seeing Ms. Liu, Old Master Bai quickly asked about the matter.

Ms. Liu had someone serve him tea and ordered the kitchen to prepare some sweet soup to temporarily satisfy Old Master Bai’s hunger, then she said, "You might not believe this, but I think they came for my Bai Family."

Old Master Bai couldn’t understand and asked, "Why?"

Without answering, Ms. Liu instead asked, "Lizhi, they seemed to be looking for someone in the village, probably a young man from Zhou Jin’s family. Both parties had strong reactions. Do you know if he has a brother named Zhou Yin?"

Old Master Bai was startled, "They came for Zhou Yin?"

Ms. Liu couldn’t help but sit up straight and asked, "You know him?"

Old Master Bai coughed uncomfortably, turned his head away, and asked, "Why has aunt suddenly taken an interest in these matters?"

Ms. Liu said, "You tell me first, then I will tell you."

Sensing Ms. Liu’s wariness, Old Master Bai was not saddened but even more shocked. The matter had to be significant for aunt to even distrust him.

Old Master Bai pondered for a while before saying, "Zhou Jin does have a brother. When I moved here with my family, he was not in the village, but I would often hear the villagers talk about him."

But for the past six years, everyone consciously avoided mentioning Zhou Yin, as if it were a taboo, which in fact it was.
