The whole family was a little disheartened. Bai Qiyao didn't say anything in the end, but his expression was ugly.
She really went to see the house in high spirits and came back with a dirty face.
The importance of a house in the hearts of a farmer was the root of the family. Now that they had been allocated such a house, it was equivalent to not having a house and not having a home.
Their family had no choice but to temporarily live in their grandmother's house.
Bai Qiyao's heart sank. Now that his leg was injured and he needed to see a doctor, his family was waiting for food and clothing. As the man of this family and the pillar of the family, how could he not be anxious?
When Madam Wang came back, she was in the inner room, playing the net. Bai Qiyao sat alone at the door and sighed. Bao 'er carried Bai Ming' er back from her grandmother and was coaxing him to sleep.
Looking at Bai Qiyao and Lady Wang's gloomy faces, even Bai Bao 'er, who was usually weak, could feel the heavy atmosphere. She tried to calm Bai Ming' er down.
Bai Ling 'er sighed in her heart. She really didn't take this house matter seriously, even though poverty was indeed a pressing problem.
However, she had always been an optimistic and confident person. Although she had just arrived in this unfamiliar era, she was confident that she would be able to live a good life. She did not care about the current difficulties.
However, seeing Bai Qiyao and the Wang family's gloomy mood, Bai Ling 'er also felt sorry for them, so she decided to cheer her parents up.
She wanted to use the spring water to heal Bai Qiyao's legs, but it would not work if she used it directly to heal her father's legs immediately. So he decided to dilute the spirit spring water and use it with the medicine the doctor prescribed for Bai Qiyao. That way, his father's leg would slowly recover. At that time, everyone would think that the medicine prescribed by the doctor was effective, and no one would be suspicious.
Bai Ling 'er ran to her mother, Wang, and asked how to apply the medicine for her father. However, she did not expect to make Wang sad again.
Madam Wang wiped her tears, but she didn't want Bai Qiyao to hear her sobs. She held Bai Ling 'er's hand and whispered,""When we split up, your grandpa didn't give us any money. You and your father's medicine has been used up in the old residence. Where is there any medicine for your father?”
Madam Wang deliberately lowered her voice and only spoke to Bai Ling 'er. She was afraid that Bai Qiyao would be upset if he heard her.
Bai Ling 'er's mouth twitched again. She did know that this separation was very unfair. Her family had received very little. After seeing the house that they had been allocated, they were even more certain of their grandparents 'favoritism. However, he didn't expect that he didn't even give a single copper coin.
Bai Bao 'er was originally coaxing Little Ming to sleep, but when she heard her mother's words, her face fell.
"Master didn't give us any money, and we don't have anything to eat. Is he trying to starve us to death?”Bai Bao 'er didn't notice that her mother had deliberately lowered her voice. Besides, she was very angry at this moment. They thought about how not only did their grandparents not give them any money, they did not even give them a biscuit. They did not want to let them live.
Bao 'er's loud voice successfully let Bai Qiyao know the contents of their conversation.
When he heard Bai Bao 'er say that she was starving to death, he felt very upset. However, when he saw his wife's cautious expression and his eldest daughter's worried gaze, he felt that he could not be depressed at this time.
Seeing Bai Qiyao enter the room, Bai Ling 'er didn't hide anything and said,"It's not that I don't have anything to eat, but I can't lose the medicine for my leg no matter what.”
They were still living at their grandmother's house. This was not a long-term solution, but it was also a solution that had no other choice. The problem of food and clothing could be solved temporarily. If her father did not have the medicine, she could not use the spiritual spring water to treat her father's leg. This was the most important thing.
Old Master Bai and Luo Shi were really ruthless. Not only did they give them such a house, but they also did not let them take any money away. No matter how fertile the land was, it was useless without money to buy seeds.
Bai Ling 'er sneered in her heart. Luo Shi was determined to punish this disobedient third son. If she didn't let him regret it, she would be a transmigrated woman in vain.
Bai Qiyao sat down on the edge of the bed and patted Bai Baoer's head.
"Although Father's legs are not good, Father's craftsmanship has not been lost. Even if he couldn't go out and make furniture, he could still carve some wooden hairpins, flowers, birds, fish, insects, and wooden stools at home to sell for money.”
Bai Qiyao said with an optimistic smile on his face. His mother and the others felt that life was full of hope and their moods improved unconsciously.
However, if Bai Ling 'er wanted to use the spiritual spring water to treat her father's leg, she had to think about it carefully.
During dinner, Grandpa and Grandma made it clear that they welcomed their daughter's family to stay here for a long time. Uncle and Aunt also said that they would stay here.
Although Madam Wang and Bai Qiyao were very unwilling to cause trouble for their grandfather's family, the situation was stronger than them, so the two of them could only be grateful.
In the middle of the night, Bai Ling 'er was in a light sleep when she heard her parents chatting with each other.
Madam Wang was worried about Bai Qiyao's leg injury. She still thought that she should buy medicine for Bai Qiyao's leg immediately.
"Husband, why don't you borrow some money from Father and Mother? The money earned from selling these gadgets is not enough to buy medicine. Your legs can't be delayed.”
If he hoped to sell these small crafts, he would be able to earn a tael of silver in a few years, not to mention buying medicine and seeing a doctor.
If this continued, Bai Qiyao's legs would be delayed. The thought of her husband limping because she couldn't treat him in time made Madam Wang's heart ache.
Bai Qiyao knew what his wife was thinking, but his family had already troubled his parents-in-law enough. He didn't want his family to become a burden to others.
"No, our family is freeloading here and has already implicated my father-in-law and mother-in-law. If I still need mother-in-law to pay for my leg, it's really too unreasonable.”
Bai Qiyao didn't do it for his face. Now that it was late autumn, the fields could not be counted on. Next year's seeds were a problem, and there was no way to earn money from the fertile fields in this season. They could only wait for next year.
It would take too long to get a harvest next year, and his family would drag down his mother-in-law's family. If he still had to use his mother-in-law's money to treat his leg injury, he did not know when he could afford it.
Madam Wang naturally knew this as well. However, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife as she watched Bai Qiyao's leg injury ache without treatment.
"Husband, if you don't treat your leg, I'm afraid it won't recover. You are our family's god. If your leg can't recover, who can we rely on? You must listen to me this time. Even if I have to give up my face, I will lend you money to treat your leg.”
Madam Wang's tears fell uncontrollably as she spoke.
In her heart, after marrying Bai Qiyao, Bai Qiyao was her heaven. If Bai Qiyao's leg couldn't recover, then her sky would collapse. No wonder she was selfish and implicated her parents. She still had three children to feed.
Although her mother-in-law hadn't treated her well all these years in the Bai family, and her uncles had looked down on her, she didn't feel sad. Because her husband loved her and placed her in his heart, she would not feel bitter no matter how much she suffered.
When Bai Qiyao saw this, he put down the hairpin he was carving and reached out to hold Madam Wang's hand.
How could he not know what the Wang Consortium was thinking? At this moment, he could only comfort her. If he borrowed money from his mother-in-law again, he would never do such a thing.
"Lanlan, my father-in-law and mother-in-law's family isn't rich either. I turned around and told Da Qiao to call me if he had work to do. My leg was injured, but my hand was still functional. Autumn is a good time to do work. I can still earn some money.”
Lan Lan was the surname of the Wang family. Usually, Bai Qiyao would call her his mother or wife. If he called her Lan Lan, it would be coaxing.
However, it did not work today. When Madam Wang heard that not only was he not in a hurry to treat his leg, but he also wanted to continue working, her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"How can that do? Woodworking requires strength. If you don't take good care of your leg, it will leave a root cause. You still dare to go out and do work. No, I don't agree."
Madam Wang was really beginning to hate her parents-in-law. They were so ruthless that they didn't give them any money. She had married into the Bai family for so many years. Even if she did not have any credit, she had worked hard. All the money the couple earned was handed over to the public school to support their uncle's studies and the imperial examination.
Now that his uncle had passed the scholar examination, not only could their family not take advantage of it, but they also had to sell their daughter. They failed to achieve their goal and separated their family.
Her parents-in-law were too biased. The eldest son was a son, but the third son was not.
Bai Qiyao sighed.
"There's no better way now. The child's mother, don't worry. I'm in good health. Once I earn money, I'll use medicine. This leg can still be cured. Take good care of our daughter and son at home. We'll build three houses by the end of the year. I'll definitely let you and the children live a good life.”
Wang Shi was even sadder when she heard him flaunt his abilities, but she couldn't dissuade him. She could only wipe her tears and continue to play the net, refusing to speak.
Bai Qiyao saw Madam Wang's reaction and pulled her into his arms. They hugged each other quietly, and neither of them spoke.
Bai Ling 'er heard her parents' conversation and felt a sour feeling in her heart.
She hid under the blanket and did not make a sound. If her parents knew that she was eavesdropping on their conversation, it would be very awkward.
However, she was really woken up by the cold. The weather was getting colder and colder, and her grandmother's house had been in disrepair for a long time. The cracks around the windows could not be patched up no matter what. At night, only the kang was left. The cold wind made her ears hurt.
Little Ming 'er's chubby little body felt warmer in Bai Ling' er's arms. Bai Ming 'er was very obedient. Her small body snuggled into Bai Ling' er's arms because of the cold.
Bai Qiyao put out the oil lamp. It was already late at night. They still had to plan how to make money tomorrow.
Bai Ling 'er tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep as she thought about the embarrassment at home.
It seemed that he had to think of a way to earn money. The most important task now was to solve the financial problem as soon as possible.
Bai Ling 'er felt her heart ache as she touched Bai Ming' er. This child was so young, but he could only eat with adults every day. If this continued, he would definitely be malnourished.
After making up her mind, Bai Ling 'er closed her eyes and entered the space of the spiritual spring.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
