Chapter 159: Chapter 159

"Then I’ll go back tomorrow!" Zhang Yuan immediately said, "How do you plan to resolve this?"

"You should rest for a day before coming back! No rush! Tomorrow I’ll take my dad and grandma to the authorities to see how to handle this. Maybe Grandma Bai is going to end up inside!" Bai Ruxue used to avoid calling her Grandma Bai in front of others, but now she had no reservations.

"Hard to say, using this matter to put her inside probably won’t work. The most they might do is educate her a bit!" Zhang Yuan said.

"Education is useless! I’ve seen Zhao Hongmei get educated; it’s just standing on a platform being cursed at a bit! Grandma Bai is so thick-skinned! What use is education?" Bai Ruxue believed that if education alone could solve this, Grandma Bai would definitely be fearless.

"Zhao Hongmei? Did she trouble you?" Zhang Yuan caught onto the key point.

"That rotten peach blossom of yours is practically a mad dog, better not to mention it. It’s under control now, she doesn’t dare act out again." Bai Ruxue waved her hand dismissively.

"Don’t talk nonsense! You’re my only peach blossom, the others have nothing to do with me!" Zhang Yuan declared his loyalty.

"Cut it out. By the way, why can’t Grandma Bai be jailed? I want her locked up to clean things up!" Bai Ruxue asked about her confusion.

In this era, it’s not as advanced as later times, police aren’t as good at investigating cases.

"Think about it! Although the child was... swapped by her, she had just given birth not long ago, she can claim she didn’t know, took the wrong baby. Without evidence, your grandma also swapped the baby without realizing it. Plus, both children are fine and have lived to now, though your dad suffered, parents being biased is common! And not being able to feed fully is normal! Can police dictate how parents treat their kids?" Zhang Yuan explained to her, "As for tranquility, you could cut ties with them! Just say, as long as they don’t let that biological son trouble your grandma, you won’t go to the police station! Grandma Bai would be more than willing! A win-win! What do you think?"

"I’m not willing, Grandma Bai has done all sorts of evil, heartless deeds, separating my dad and grandma for so many years, just glossing over it like that, I’m really not willing!" Bai Ruxue gritted her teeth.

However, thinking it over, if Grandma Bai really got jailed, who would manage that bastard son? Xiao Xue might end up getting tangled with Bai Xianglan again? It would be more troublesome, it’s better to follow Zhang Yuan’s idea to give Grandma Bai a favor, letting her control Gangzi, so she and her family can have peace.

"Quickly go tidy up and rest! When you come back! If you don’t come back soon, people will say you got married at home and don’t want me anymore!" Bai Ruxue, having thought it through, waved her hand.

"You really believe that?" Zhang Yuan didn’t believe his Xiao Xue had so little confidence in him.

"I don’t believe it, but my mom does, and then she’ll start crying again! I’m heading out! I’ve been in here too long!" Bai Ruxue hurriedly left.

Back in the room, Bai Ruxue discussed the plan she talked about with Zhang Yuan with her family.

Bai Xianglan was also calculative, listening to Bai Ruxue’s analysis and immediately agreeing.

She’s most familiar with Gangzi; that person is a real roughneck. If he knows how well off Daliang’s family is, he’ll definitely pester and never let go.

If he comes to bother her son, it’s better to make some concessions to Liu Lanxiang now, letting her firmly manage Gangzi.

The next day, early in the morning, Grandma Bai came over, looking bad, but her attitude was unprecedentedly good.

Displaying virtuousness and insisting on inviting Bai Xianglan back for breakfast.

"You can go back; I won’t go! After breakfast, let’s go to the police station and handle our matters!" Bai Xianglan said without giving a good look.

"Sister! It’s sister-in-law who was wrong! Give sister-in-law a chance, let sister-in-law make it up to you for the rest of her life, can we not go to the police station! Saying it out loud would be a joke! Please, sister-in-law is begging you!" Grandma Bai pleaded softly.

Because last night, Grandpa Bai had spoken, saying she’d handle her own transgressions, and if she couldn’t solve them, he wouldn’t intervene.

Gangzi was also complaining all night, bad food, bad bedding, she hadn’t slept a wink.

"You should go back! If begging solved anything, I’d beg you, give me back my newborn son! Can you do that? Doing heartless deeds naturally earns this result!" Bai Xianglan still wouldn’t relent.

Pfft, Grandma Bai knelt before her, tears weren’t far behind.

"A thousand wrongs, it’s entirely sister-in-law’s fault, going inside won’t make up for it, but at my age, going in really means I won’t come out alive! I’m begging you, give sister-in-law a way out! I’m begging you!" She said, knocking her forehead to the ground.

"You should get up!" Daliang was the first who couldn’t stand it; although he knew now she wasn’t his real mom, he’d called her mom for so many years, and although she’d never treated him well, she had raised him, he couldn’t stand it, helping her up.

"Daliang, mom won’t get up, let me kneel! Help me plead, don’t let mom go inside!" Grandma Bai cried even harder.

"Whose mom are you? You took your real son away! This is my son! Don’t say it wrong anymore! Otherwise, I won’t be polite!" Bai Xianglan couldn’t stand Grandma Bai calling herself Bai Daliang’s mom.

"Yes, yes! I said it wrong, not mom, not mom!" Grandma Bai quickly corrected.

"Get up! Don’t try to gain sympathy here!" Bai Xianglan returned to calm, no longer avoiding her. This content belongs to NoveI-Fire.ɴet

"Sister..." Grandma Bai wanted to cry and beg again.

"Don’t call me ’sister,’ I’m not your sister, as of yesterday I cut ties with the Bai family! Don’t try to connect with me! Also, my son! No relations with the Bai family anymore! Understand?"

"But... Fine! Cut ties, cut ties! As long as you don’t sue me, don’t let me go inside!" Grandma Bai was shrewd enough to figure that out quickly.

"Wishful thinking!" Bai Xianglan said fiercely, glancing at Bai Ruxue and seeing her nod before discussing the agreed conditions.

"Not going inside isn’t impossible! But there are conditions!" Bai Xianglan stated.

Grandma Bai heard she might avoid jail—how could there be any reason not to agree—immediately opened her mouth.

"Say, whatever conditions you have, I can agree!"

"Alright! First one! Sever ties! I, Bai Xianglan, will completely sever ties with the Bai family, including my son Daliang, having no relations!" Bai Xianglan said decisively, "You’ll pretend not to see us when we meet! Go a different path! No matter what happens, you can’t trouble my son! Can this be done?"

"Okay!" Grandma Bai stood up, agreeing without a thought.

Though Daliang had prospects now, he ultimately belonged to others; he had recognized his roots and ancestors, so how could they expect anything from him? Even without saying it, she wouldn’t dare cause trouble again, hence agreeing quickly.

"Alright! Agreed readily, but can you make the decisions? Better get someone who can to discuss it with me!" Bai Xianglan rolled her eyes, thought of something, and stopped talking to Grandma Bai, wanting to speak with Grandpa Bai.

"Okay! I’ll go back and get everyone!" Grandma Bai, afraid they’d change their mind, ran briskly.
