Luo Shi thought that Bai Qiyao's mother-in-law had given him money to buy medicine. He snorted inwardly. The Wang family was really generous.
Bai Laosi slapped his thigh and thought to himself that his mother was wrong.
"Buying medicine is nothing. Mother, let me tell you, I think the third family has made a fortune. Do you know what I saw?"
Luo Shi was not in the mood to guess what he had heard. She only felt the words " selling meat " and " windfall " hit her, and she suddenly jumped up from the kang.
"What kind of windfall did you get from buying meat? Hurry up and tell me.”
Luo Shi slapped Bai Laosi's head as he spoke. Why didn't he say it at this time?
Bai Laosi quickly covered his head, afraid that he would be killed by his mother again.
"Yes, I'll tell you…Mother, why are you so anxious? I came back immediately to report to you.”As he spoke, he looked at Luo proudly before continuing,"I saw Third Brother's Ling girl buying two catties of lean meat for someone in front of the meat stall. She still took the ox cart. I heard from the people around that the ox cart was newly bought by the third family. Mother, isn't the third family making a fortune?”
As Bai Laosi spoke, he muttered in his heart," Third Brother's family spent money to buy meat for others. Why didn't he say that he bought meat for them? How heartless."
Luo Shi began to argue in his heart when he heard this.
Bai Qiyao had just moved out of the house and didn't give him a single cent when he left. Even if he could barely make ends meet with his mother-in-law's family, it was impossible for him to buy cattle and meat so comfortably.
"You must be mistaken. Otherwise, it's the Wang family's carriage and the meat bought by the Wang family. Third Brother's family didn't even have a single copper coin when they distributed it. If he suddenly became rich, he would have to rob someone.”
Luo Shi snorted and shook his head.
She didn't believe that Bai Qiyao would become rich overnight. He was so disobedient and insisted on keeping that useless girl. Sooner or later, he would die of poverty. Now that he had injured his leg and could not work, he could not earn money. She did not believe that the Wang family could support the third branch for the rest of their lives.
When that time came, Third Brother would naturally know the consequences of going against her. Without money, they couldn't live in that shabby house at all. How could their family have a good life? Even if Third Brother wasn't injured, he only had one tael of silver a month. It was barely enough to feed a family. How could he build a house and farm?
Bai Qizu had personally witnessed and heard Bai Ling 'er buying meat for Da You's wife, and then invited her to take her back to the village in her family's ox cart. There was no mistaking it.
"I heard it with my own ears and saw it with my own eyes. The third branch was definitely rich. Not only did they buy meat for a distant relative, but Ling 'er's carriage was also full of bags and a lot of cloth. In my opinion, maybe we buried some treasure in our house in the Wang Family Village. Think about it, how did he suddenly become rich in just a few days? He definitely belongs to our Bai family.”
Luo Shi couldn't help but mutter in his heart when he saw that Bai Qizu didn't seem to be lying.
Luo Shi's face sank and she didn't say anything. Bai Laosi knew what her mother was thinking, so he wasn't in a hurry.
"Go, call your big brother over." Luo Shi sat back down on the brick bed. He already had a plan in mind.
Bai Laosi knew that his mother would definitely go to the third branch to ask for money. If his mother could get the money back from Third Brother, they would all be able to take advantage of it.
On the way back, Bai Qizu had already told his big brother everything he had seen and heard.
Bai Qiguang was the eldest son of the family and had always been favored by his parents. Besides, he was good at studying and was one of the few scholars in the town.
Especially Luo Shi, who regarded this son as his eyeballs, so even the children of the first branch also held their heads high in front of their other brothers and sisters, as if they were superior to them.
Bai Qiguang had the same sense of superiority, which was why he dared to treat his family like that. It was as if it was only right for others to sacrifice themselves for him, or even an honor.
When he heard that Bai Qiyao's family was rich, the first thing that came to his mind was not where the money came from, but that no matter how the money came from, it should be spent on him, the only scholar in the family who could bring honor to his ancestors.
When Luo Shi saw Bai Qiguang follow Bai Qizu into the central room, his expression became even more complicated.
On one hand, she did not want the third branch to live well, but on the other hand, she hoped that she could really get something this time. It was very contradictory.
Bai Qiguang knew what his mother was thinking, so he didn't wait for Luo Shi to speak.
"Mother, whether this matter is true or not, we will know when we go to the third household to take a look.”
"Your father…" Luo frowned.
"If the Wang Family Village really dug up something, then Third Brother should return the money to us. Father will agree even if it's for my future.”
She didn't want to believe the other possibility. Not only did No. 3 have money, but he also earned it himself.
If that was the case, the three families had already split up. They had no reason to ask for money from them.
Luo Shi nodded, thinking that Old Bai really cared about his reputation. If Third Brother had the money to support Eldest Brother's studies, he would be more than happy.
Just like that, the Luo trio decided to go straight to the Wang Family Village the next day.
Bai Ling 'er still didn't know that although she didn't let Da You's wife take advantage of her, the Bai family's old mansion was still concerned about her.
It was really a fierce tiger with a cannon and a wolf.
She and Erdai happily returned to Grandma's house and told her what had happened today.
His grandfather was very unhappy with his wife's cooking, but he was an elder and couldn't say anything. Her aunt was not too polite. She directly said that Dayou's wife was bullying a child. If she saw her again, she would definitely teach her a lesson.
The Wang family tried to persuade Ling 'er. Ling' er didn't suffer any losses. She decided to let this matter go and stay away from that kind of person in the future.
Bai Ling 'er handed the money to her mother and told her parents that the lady boss of the jewelry shop was a very good person. Seeing that her father's craftsmanship was good, she gave her more money. The Wang family and Bai Qiyao were very happy.
The family planned to renovate the house without delay. Grandpa immediately instructed his uncle to go to the village to find the village chief and buy the materials needed to build the house. He also asked the villagers to go to the Bai family's house in the east of the village tomorrow to help clean up the house.
It was not difficult to find someone to build a house in the village. The villagers were very enthusiastic and would help whoever needed help. Moreover, they were paid to build a house, so they were happy to make money.
Therefore, in order to move into the new house before the weather completely cooled down, the Bai family's preparations for building a house were in full swing.
Bai Ling 'er wanted to build the house in one go, but it was impossible to build a villa in one go. She had already drawn the map of the suite, but it was a pity that she could only build the central room first.
The courtyard was not small in a small village, but it was too small for Bai Ling 'er to build a farm. The Bai family's house was at the easternmost part of the village. It was at the end of the village. Further east was ten acres of thin farmland and a small hill next to Maple Mountain. Bai Ling 'er suggested buying the ten acres of barren land and the hill to build a farm.
With his grandfather's help, the chief quickly agreed. The ten mu of barren land was not a high-yield land, so they quickly negotiated and bought it at the price of three taels of silver per mu.
The hill was not small, but there were obviously no ferocious beasts. There were also not many small animals such as pheasants and rabbits. However, the terrain was a slope. Perhaps people did not understand terraced fields, so no one cultivated them. On the mountain, there were many fruit trees planted by the villagers and many ancient trees. This time, they needed to cut down trees on the mountain to build a house. Therefore, buying this mountain was not cheap at all. It cost a total of 120 taels of silver.
Madam Wang did not approve of such a large piece of land. She felt sorry for the money in her hands. After deducting the money to buy mountains and fields, and then deducting the money to build a house, the family would basically be poor again.
In her eyes, that mountain was not worth that much money. Other than selling fruits in autumn, it was really useless.
However, Bai Qiyao and her grandfather agreed with Bai Ling 'er, so she didn't object.
The Bai couple had their doubts about Bai Ling 'er's sudden intelligence. However, this daughter was their own, and there was nothing about her that could prove that she was an imposter. As the saying goes, the crops are good for others, but the children are good for themselves. In the end, it became a matter of course. Their children were just so smart.
Early the next morning, the villagers gathered at the Wang family's house. Uncle Wang An took care of everyone and moved the materials for building the house into his courtyard. Although most of the villagers were honest and kind, it was difficult to guarantee that there would not be one or two who were greedy for money. The thatched cottage did not have a courtyard and no one was there, so it was placed in the Wang family's residence first.
Bai Qiyao also came to help. After taking the medicine yesterday, Bai Ling 'er secretly poured the spring water into Bai Qiyao's foot washing water. Bai Qiyao felt that he was much better, and he even lamented that the village's tea flower father's medical skills were brilliant.
Father Cha Hua was the village doctor who had introduced Bai Ling 'er to the Bao Ji Hall to sell medicine. Bai Ling' er had sold the money and sent Father Cha Hua a lot of medicinal herbs as a thank you gift.
Cha Hua's father was the village doctor. He only had one daughter, Cha Hua. His wife had passed away in his early years, so he raised his daughter alone.
Cha Hua was a famous beauty in the village. She had learned pharmacology from her father since she was young and was the first choice for the village doctor in the future. There were too many young men who liked camelia to count. The aunts in the village also wanted camelia to be their daughter-in-law. In modern terms, she was the daughter-in-law of the whole country.
Bai Qiyao didn't know about the spring water. He only thought that Father Tea Flower was more skilled than the doctors in the town. He only took a dose of medicine and felt refreshed. His legs didn't hurt anymore.
Therefore, he had to build his own house personally.
The villagers all knew that the daughter of the Bai family had dug up ginseng on the mountain and sold it for a lot of money. Now, not only did she buy a small hill, but she also wanted to build a big house. Most of the villagers were very envious. It was said that after this, there were more people digging for medicinal herbs than hunting on Red Maple Mountain.
There were also some who really dug up medicinal herbs, but they all wrote some money, and there was no sign of ginseng.
Everyone said that Bai Ling 'er was a blessed child. The first time she entered the mountain, she received a gift from the mountain god. The kind and innocent villagers were more concerned about the construction of the Bai family's house.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 31PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
