The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension

Jiang Xiaoxiao took some time to go to the place where she bought vegetables last time.

She still had Bai Yiyi on her mind.

Since she had encountered Bai Yiyi, she wouldn't give up the chance to lend a helping hand.

After going around a large circle, she didn't see anyone.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was disappointed.

But there was no place to ask around.

This isn't right!

That day, the vegetable seller seemed to indirectly know Bai Yiyi's family situation, so perhaps he might know where Bai Yiyi's family lives?

Jiang Xiaoxiao made a round and went to the vegetable stall.

Sure enough, there was still the same vendor, wearing an apron and sleeve covers, sorting out vegetables, the midday rush had passed.

Everyone went home to cook.

Their vegetable stall should also be closing.

Face full of ennui, attitude perfunctory while arranging the leftovers.

As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao appeared, he did not have a pleasant face.

What time is it, someone still buying vegetables, deliberately trying to cause trouble?

He rolled his eyes, "Today's sold out, come earlier in the afternoon."

"Comrade, I want to ask you about something."

Jiang Xiaoxiao had thought ahead, the person in front of her had a typical small-town opportunist mentality; if she asked empty-handed, she'd likely have her way blocked.

Sure enough, the person's eyes widened with impatience.

"What's with you? I'm a vegetable seller, not a cop, go find the police if you have issues, I have no responsibility for this."

Throwingly arranging his bits of leftover vegetables after people picked through them, nothing good was left.

They all looked wilted.

This is the so-called troublesome little ghost.

Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn't angry; being angry with such a person wasn't worth her own time.

"Comrade, you worked hard all day, let me just ask one thing. Where does the little girl Bai Yiyi live who collected vegetable leaves that day? I want her address, and if you have it, tell me. I have fresh apples as a token of appreciation."

She lifted the net bag, and inside there were indeed three big, red apples.

These were sold to Jia Shu earlier, now they had to be a cheap bribe for this woman.

The salesperson saw three apples for answering a question, a good deal.

"Why are you asking about Bai Yiyi's family? If you're planning anything deceitful, I won't help you."

Even while saying this, her eyes couldn't leave the apples.

She played the game of desire cleverly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had to admire the vendor for her skillful tactics.

The older sister had rich experience, and her approach was something to learn from.

"Comrade, doesn't seem like you know! Then forget it, I'll ask others and save my apples."

Jiang Xiaoxiao left decisively.

The salesperson was anxious.

Her apples!

In these times, she couldn't let freebies get away.

She quickly stopped Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Comrade, I know where Bai Yiyi's family is; I'm just returning home, I'll take you there. But all three apples, make sure to give them to me!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, just three apples, nothing serious.

She hadn't spent much.

If small favors could get things done, she was willing.

Salesperson immediately sped up her actions, quickly pushed vegetables inside, removed apron and sleeve coverings and left.

"Comrade! Follow me, Bai Yiyi's family is just two streets away from mine. I saw you helping that little girl, who exactly are you to her?"

Curiosity didn't die.

"Sister, I don't know her!"

It was the truth, at that moment, they indeed didn't know each other.

Trying to fool a ghost!

The salesperson didn't voice this thought, assuming the person wasn't willing to tell, but she only cared about the apples.

Took her to the doorway, pointing at a courtyard.

"That is Bai Yiyi's home, can I have the apples now?"

Obsessed with the apples.

Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn't stingy, handed them over.

She went to Bai Yiyi's home to knock on the door.

Salesperson took the apples and left at once.

"Who's there?"

As the door opened, a middle-aged woman stood.

"Who are you looking for?"

She sized up Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao saw the funeral wreath in the yard.

And the black mourning band on the woman's arm.

This is…

"I'm looking for Bai Yiyi!"

"Who are you? Yiyi, someone is looking for you!"

Suspiciously eyeing Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"I'm Feng Chun's distant cousin, passing by to see the child."

Feng Chun, that was Bai Yiyi's biological mother's name. Being able to name her, surely meant she wasn't an outsider, the middle-aged woman instantly relaxed.

"Originally, you should have been invited in to sit, but unfortunately, my parents-in-law just passed away, and the funeral has just concluded, it's not quite suitable."

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, "It's alright! I want to pay my respects with a stick of incense."

The middle-aged woman should be Bai Yiyi's aunt, since she'd clarified, naturally she wouldn't object to entry.

Thought this young girl was too naive, not understanding the taboo.

Jiang Xiaoxiao saw Bai Yiyi, the child had grown thin in just two days, almost blown-away by wind.

Upon seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao, the child swayed and collapsed.

Jiang Xiaoxiao urgently caught and embraced her.

Gently checked her pulse, "What's wrong? The child hasn't eaten since yesterday, fasting in mourning, the elderly's funeral was today. She almost cried herself breathless.

This won't do!"

The middle-aged woman sighed, trying to take Bai Yiyi.

Jiang Xiaoxiao turned, carrying her inside.

Inside was a mess.

Items strewn about.

Seemed before Jiang Xiaoxiao arrived, the middle-aged woman had been organizing.

The middle-aged woman turned red, "Cleaning up, we plan to take Yiyi to the countryside, we can't live here. Yiyi refuses, but there's no choice, we farm, we can't survive here.

Her mom's still away, her dad even more absent, we're powerless."

They didn't like taking this hot potato, but had no option.

Jiang Xiaoxiao pinched the child's philtrum, Bai Yiyi woke!

Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao, she burst into tears.

Appearing as if she'd suffered immense injustice.

The middle-aged woman stood aside, awkward.

"This child hasn't seen much of us, she's not close. I'll fix something for her to eat. You talk, try to convince her, we're at a loss."

Sighing, they didn't want to take Bai Yiyi home but now with no family, being her uncle and aunt, they couldn't truly neglect her.

However, they weren't familiar, having spoken merely a few words within two days.

They were truly powerless.

Jiang Xiaoxiao held the small child, a five-year-old, crying and hugging her neck. Jiang Xiaoxiao could feel the child's pain.

Indeed.

Bai Yiyi had mentioned in the past that she became who she was later because she couldn't handle the blow, unwilling to follow her uncle and aunt to the countryside.

So she ran away, not expecting to end up with traffickers.

Gently stroking Bai Yiyi's hair, patting her back.

"No crying! No crying, grandpa and grandma are watching over you from the skies, seeing you cry hurts them. Do you want them to be sad? Our Yiyi is a good child; surely wouldn't want grandpa and grandma upset, right?"

Bai Yiyi sniffled, halting her crying, her eyes holding hope.

"Sister, is what you say true? Are grandpa and grandma really watching me? Why don't they come back? I miss them. I want them to return."

Adults told her about death, but she didn't understand, just knew grandpa and grandma were gone.

They kept saying things she couldn't comprehend, saying grandpa and grandma didn't care for her.

Not true.

Grandpa and grandma liked her best, would never abandon her.

They were all deceivers.
