Daai's driving skills were pretty good. As they walked slowly, Bai Ling 'er felt sleepy.
By the time they returned to the village, it was already past noon. Bai Ling 'er rubbed her stomach. She was indeed a little hungry.
The Wang Family Village wasn't rich, and although they weren't so poor that they couldn't eat or wear clothes, there weren't many families with large livestock, and eating meat was a luxury.
Therefore, Da You's wife was especially happy today. Not only did she come back by ox cart, but she also got to eat meat for free.
As the ox-cart entered the Wang Family Village, Bai Ling 'er was no longer as tired as before. She greeted the villagers as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
The ox-cart was enough for everyone to ask curiously, and Bai Ling-er introduced it enthusiastically.
Da You's wife really felt that her face was very glorious. After all, she had come back by ox cart. This meant that Ling 'er respected her very much.
However, she soon became unhappy.
Because Bai Ling 'er would always talk about what happened at the meat stall, such as now.
Bai Ling 'er happily said to Li Zheng,"What kind of person is Aunt? How could she let others say that about her? She's not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others. I borrowed money to buy meat for my aunt, and she said that she would give me money when I entered the village. She even said that she would buy candy for me.”
Every time she said it, Da You's wife would feel a toothache. With such a huge commotion, the entire village would probably know about this.
Li Zheng frowned as he listened to Bai Ling 'er. Although he didn't believe that his wife would be so generous to buy candy for her, he couldn't question it in front of the villagers. He could only nod and say that Bai Ling' er was right.
When the ox-cart finally arrived in front of Da You's house, Da You's wife jumped off the ox-cart as if her butt was on fire.
Her expression was a little ugly. Bai Ling 'er's high-profile remarks about her noble character made her a little embarrassed and angry.
"Niece of the Bai family, give the two catties of meat to Aunt. Aunt is home.”As she spoke, she pointed at the bag of meat in Bai Ling 'er's hand.
Bai Ling 'er smiled innocently.
"Where's the candy that Aunt promised Ling 'er? Aunt still wants to give Ling' er money.”As he spoke, he also stretched out his hand and pretended to ask for it.
Although she was begging for it, she was a twelve-year-old child, and her expression of wanting to eat candy made people think that she was cute and not scheming.
The villagers around them noticed this and knew that their daughter-in-law must have been trying to coax a child when she said she was buying candy for Bai Ling 'er. However, Bai Ling' er fell for it.
When Da You's wife saw Bai Ling 'er asking for candy, her expression turned even uglier. She thought to herself, Why did this child take it so seriously? He had just casually replied and did not take it seriously at all.
"I'll buy you some candy someday. Give me the meat first.”
These words were too perfunctory. Even a few years old child would not believe it.
Bai Ling 'er found it funny, but her expression was different.
"Then Auntie, give Ling 'er the money first. Ling' er doesn't want the candy.”As she spoke, her face was filled with disappointment and grievance. She looked extremely pitiful.
Second Dumb rolled his eyes. Although he had only known Bai Ling 'er for two days, he was already very used to this girl's two-faced appearance.
Da You's wife was getting impatient.
"Niece of the Bai family, then hurry up and give the meat to Aunt. Aunt has to hurry home to cook.”
Bai Ling 'er continued to look pitiful.
"Auntie, give Ling 'er the money first."
At this moment, the villagers who passed by looked over. Some of them had even forgotten that they still had work to do and simply stopped.
Da You's wife had never intended to give Bai Ling 'er money. She had made up her mind to take advantage of her. Now, of course, it was impossible for them to obediently submit just because there were a few more villagers watching the show.
"I say, niece of the Bai family, what do you mean by this? Are you afraid that I won't give you money?”She had made up her mind not to give her money. If she said that, she would definitely give it to an ordinary young lady. However, Bai Ling 'er was obviously not an ordinary young lady.
Bai Ling 'er's big eyes that could speak were instantly filled with tears. Her eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness. She looked extremely wronged, as if she had been greatly deceived.
Erdai's lips curled up into a smile, but it quickly returned to its usual calm expression.
Bai Ling 'er stared at Da You's wife. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes were filled with accusation. In a flash, the villagers gathered around. Some of her maternal grandfather's relatives were already asking Bai Ling 'er what was going on.
"Aunt, I don't want the candy anymore. You have to give me the money. We still have to build a house. We need money to buy seeds next year. I haven't brought the money home yet.”Although she didn't cry out loud, when she said this, coupled with the tears in her eyes, it really made people feel that she was being bullied.
The villagers all knew about her family's situation. The house was uninhabitable, so the family could only stay at her grandfather's house. It was said that they did not even have rations. The family's food, clothing, and housing were all problems. It was not easy to earn some money from selling ginseng. How could a child who had suffered so much not care about money? He did not dare to spend it recklessly.
Da You's daughter-in-law didn't even ask Bai Ling 'er's parents to buy her meat and candy. She was obviously lying to the child.
Therefore, the villagers looked at Da You's wife with unfriendly eyes.
Aunt Qiu, who was usually straightforward, stood up for the injustice."I say, Big Wife, you promised the Bai family's girl to buy candy for her, but now you're not keeping your word. Isn't this bullying a child? Besides, you promised to give the Bai family girl money when you returned to the village. Why didn't you give it to her?”
Da You's wife's expression turned even uglier. However, she was good at being thick-skinned and making a scene.
"Do you have the right to speak here? It's not like I don't want to pay.”After that, she scolded Bai Ling 'er,"You're really disobedient. Don't you have any respect for your elders?"?Didn't you just come back from selling ginseng? You even bought an ox cart. I'm your aunt. It's only right for you to buy me meat and show me respect. Moreover, I didn't say that I wouldn't give you money.”
Bai Ling 'er sneered in her heart. This daughter-in-law was indeed as thick-skinned as Wang Dayou. Calling her aunt was an honorific title. Other than having the same surname as her grandfather, they were not considered relatives.
Of course, he could buy things for his aunt, but the problem was that he couldn't be called a daughter-in-law.
"Cousin Aunt asked Ling Er to show filial piety, but Ling Er doesn't have money. This money belongs to Father and Mother, so how can Ling Er be the owner? Aunt asked Ling 'er to show filial piety. When Ling' er had money, it would naturally be fine. Ling 'er's parents had no reason to buy meat for Aunt.”
Da You's wife was a little stunned by Bai Ling 'er's words. She didn't expect this girl to be so eloquent. Indeed, if he had to take advantage of Bai Ling 'er, he was the elder and Bai Ling' er was just a child. Even if she came to ask for money in the future, he could use his status to make a scene and not give it to her.
However, Bai Ling 'er was just a child, and Bai Qiyao and his wife were the ones in charge. Why should they buy meat for her?
However, she was not willing to spend money to buy the fat meat that was right in her mouth.
"Bai family girl, you're wrong to say that. When did I say that you should be filial to me? I said that I would pay, but I have to wait a few days. You just need to give the meat to Biao Aunty. Biao Aunty will personally send the money to your parents another day.”
She had to get the meat first. If she didn't return the money, no one could do anything to her.
Da You's daughter-in-law was famous in the village for not returning the money she borrowed. When the villagers heard her words, they knew that she was fooling the children. However, this was their business. No one would really come forward to cause trouble if they were not immediate family members.
Bai Ling 'er naturally understood what her daughter-in-law was thinking. She would not let anyone take advantage of her.
"Ling 'er can't make the decision on this matter. Two catties of meat is twenty-six wen. It's enough to get a dose of medicine for Father. Ling 'er borrowed money to buy meat for her aunt, but her parents didn't know. It was better for her aunt to tell her parents personally.”As he spoke, he gave up his seat for Da You's wife.
Go home with her. That Bai Qiyao was not someone to be bullied. Why would he buy meat for her? She would be embarrassed.
The thought of this made the daughter-in-law a little angry. However, the surrounding villagers were already criticizing her and even urging her to follow Bai Ling 'er to Uncle Wang San's house.
Bai Ling 'er seemed to be unwilling to give him the meat if he didn't give her the money or if he followed her to see her parents. She couldn't snatch it in front of so many people, not to mention that Erdai was with Bai Ling-er.
Although Erdai did not say anything, he exuded an aura that made one afraid to provoke him.
Da You's wife stomped her feet and dragged Wang Dayou, who had just heard the commotion, out of the courtyard. Without saying a word, she returned to her own house.
Bai Ling 'er looked at the villagers around her in confusion. Aunt Qiu, who had spoken up for her just now, said,""Bai family girl, this big daughter-in-law doesn't want this meat anymore. You just have to go home.”As he spoke, he waved his hand and dismissed everyone.
Bai Ling-er smiled slyly. She turned around and glared at Erdai when she saw him looking at her.
"Let's go home."
Bai Ling 'er had won over her daughter-in-law and brought four pounds of meat home.
On the other side, Bai Laosi returned to the Bai family's old mansion and went straight to the house.
Luo Shi was doing needlework in his room. When he saw Bai Qizu running in while panting, he glared at him.
"There's no dog chasing you. Why are you in such a hurry?”
Bai Laosi had always been an impetuous person, and Luo Shi had never stopped talking about him because of this. He would make a fuss when he encountered a small matter.
" Aiyo, Mother, you don't know what I saw…"
Bai Laosi took a deep breath and sat down beside Luo Shi, waiting for Luo Shi to ask him.
Pian Luo was not in a hurry at all, and continued to do needlework.
" Mother," Bai Qizu had no choice but to say it himself." I just saw Ling 'er from Third Brother's house. Guess what she's doing in town?"”
When Luo Shi heard Bai Qiyao and Bai Linger being mentioned, he raised his head and glanced at him. He casually replied,""Coming to town to get medicine? Her father's leg needs to be treated."
As he said that, he thought about how he would lose more than one tael of silver every month if he divided this family. Before Third Brother's leg was injured, he was the main labor force in the family. He made a lot of money every month by doing some carpentry work.
The eldest son of the Bai family was a scholar. He was a scholar all day long. He wanted to study and never worked in the fields. The eldest son's family was supported by the public school.
The fourth brother was the youngest and had been spoiled by Luo since he was young. He was lazy, greedy, and slippery. He was also a good-for-nothing who could not earn money.
Now, only the second brother, Bai Qizong, was hardworking and capable. However, his income had decreased a lot, making Luo very depressed.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 31PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
