Chapter 113: Point at the Mulberry Tree and Curse the Locust Tree

An Hao returned home, where Bai Xue had already gone down to the fields and prepared dinner. Cornmeal cakes, pickled radish strips, and a pot of simmering millet porridge.

She wasn't entirely heartless, aware that An Shuchao was sick, she had even cooked two eggs for him and brought them up to his bed to eat.

The rest of the four of them sat around the kitchen table to have their meal.

As Bai Yanjiao ate, she recalled the afternoon visit to Shen Lianqing's home, and looking up at An Hao, she said, "Lianqing was wearing Snowflake Cream today."

An Hao heard it, but pretended not to and kept quiet, continuing to eat her meal.

Having toiled in the fields all day, endured eating dirt and battling the wind, Bai Xue returned home with a sore back and aching legs. Upon hearing An Shuchao say that An Hao did not agree to dropping out of school, she immediately felt a surge of anger.

That anger had been festering, looking for an outlet, and Bai Yanjiao's comment was like lighting a fuse.
