The next morning, Bai Ruozhu set off with her father for Linjiang Village. Xiaosi originally wanted to follow them, but Bai Ruozhu stopped her. She left Dengdeng in the care of Fang Guizhi. Planning to finish her trip as fast as possible, she found it inconvenient to take Xiaosi with her.
Bai Ruozhu had hidden two bags of medicine powder in her sleeves and already made up her mind secretly.
"Dad, let's check the extent of the damage to the crops. We can give Zhou Family some money as compensation, but we won't allow them to farm the land anymore," said Bai Ruozhu after they boarded the horse carriage.
Bai Yihong nodded, "I agree. Yang Family's third son probably can't be persuaded. We might as well bear the loss of one season's crops. I fear the Zhou Family might not survive otherwise."
However, Bai Ruozhu's decision was not out of sympathy for the Zhou Family but to avoid trouble.
