They had chosen to come today because Bai Ke-er had told them that Dumb had left. Because of how Erdai broke the steel fork with his bare hands last time, the entire Bai family was a little afraid.
Bai Keer had always been running to Bai Qiyao's house for no reason. It was actually Bai Qiguang's idea. He had a feeling that Bai Qiyao must have hidden something, so he asked Bai Keer to come and find out more.
Unfortunately, Bai Ke-er was already mesmerized by Erdai. Every time she went back, she would only say what she saw.
Fortunately, Bai Qiyao and the Wang family were both thrifty people. Even if they had money, they still lived a simple life. In Bai Ke-er's eyes, this meant that her family had no money.
Fortunately, Bai Keer had claimed that her family did not have any money. Otherwise, it would not have been easy to end the day.
Madam Wang looked at Bai Qizu's sneaky expression and became angry. Once she was angry, she did not care anymore." Fourth, you want money from me! You haven't thought about what kind of life your brother is living, right?”
"When we split up, we only got so many pots and pans. There wasn't even a seed! If Ling 'er hadn't picked up a mountain ginseng, our family would have starved to death! It wasn't easy to build a place where people could live. It had only been a few days since they had settled down, and you came to cause trouble again! Let me tell you, if you push me too hard, I'll learn from my mother and bang my head against your family's stone lion. I'll let the people of Huanghua Town see how you treat your disabled third son!”
"Grandma, a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs, but you're forcing us to our deaths! Two days ago, all the money was used by Mother to buy seeds. Our family is really gone!”Bai Bao 'er also spoke up. Ever since Bai Ling 'er fed her the Spiritual Wisdom Fruit every day, this girl's brain had gotten better and better. She could even think of the saying that a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs.
"No more? Then bring out the food!" Luo Shi snorted and pointed at Bai Bao 'er." Look at the useless thing you raised! He didn't know anything, but he only knew how to talk!”
Bai Ling 'er sneered and crossed her arms to watch the show. She wanted to see how shameless Luo Shi could be.
"Yes, food! They had just collected the food, let alone you who didn't even have any food!”Bai Qizu and the others had come today to stock up on food. They had expected Bai Qiyao to be broke. Even if they didn't have money, they could still have food.
"I'm giving you all good land. One mu of land is not much, but three hundred dan of grain is loose! Your family's four mu of land has collected at least 1,200 dans of grain this year! We don't want much, 1000 dans is enough!”Luo Shi stood there boasting shamelessly, causing the villagers present to gasp.
Three hundred stones! One stone was 60 kilograms, so 300 stones was 18,000 kilograms, which was 36,000 kilograms of grain! Hehe, did Luo Shi think that this land was planted with leeks? Cut off a layer and grow another layer? In the 21st century, one mu of land would be around 900 jin!
Bai Ling 'er was furious, and the villagers were also unhappy." Old Lady, do you have such a big granary?!"”
The villagers didn't know how much food Bai Ling 'er's family had collected, but it definitely wasn't as much as 36,000 catties. Luo Family was obviously asking for an exorbitant price!
"Old lady, give me a piece of land. If one mu of land can produce 300 dans of grain, I'll pay you 500 dans every year!”
"It's obvious that he hasn't hit the ground. Hurry up and go back. Don't embarrass yourself!”
The mocking voices around him rose and fell. Luo Shi couldn't keep his face up. He wanted to use the steel fork to hit people like last time, but he was afraid that someone would appear next to him. If he didn't hit the person, it wouldn't be worth it to hurt himself.
"Mother, I only collected a hundred stones this year. I'll give you fifty stones. If you want it, then take it. If you don't want it, then leave!”Bai Qiyao was also furious.
It was already embarrassing enough that he could not protect his wife and daughter. Now, his mother was forcing him to do so. He also had resentment.
She knew her own son best. When Luo Shi saw Bai Qiyao like this, he knew that if she continued to force him, he wouldn't even have 50 stones left. He hurriedly called Bai Qizu to load the truck.
Looking at the bullock-cart at the entrance, Bai Qiyao smiled bitterly. It seemed like he had already prepared this.
"Mother!" Bai Ling 'er was a little angry. How could she give them the food just like that?
"Forget it, it's fine as long as I can have a peaceful life.”Madam Wang patted Ling 'er and pulled her and Bao' er into the house. She really didn't want to see such a family anymore.
Perhaps it was because they didn't have enough money this time that Luo and Bai Qizu gave up, or perhaps it was because they had gone too far this time, Old Master Bai had spoken. In short, Bai Ling 'er's family had been peaceful for a long time.
Bai Ling 'er and Bai Bao' er still went up the mountain to pick mushrooms every day and went down the mountain to help with the farming. The only shortcoming was probably that they had lost a strong laborer without Dumby.
" Sigh…" Bai Ling 'er sighed at the thought of Dumb. She lowered her head and continued playing with Little Ming' er. Ever since Bai Bao 'er had eaten the Spiritual Wisdom Fruit, she had become smarter by the day. When she heard Bai Ling' er sigh, she quickly leaned over.
"Sis, are you thinking about Dumbo again?”
"Go, go, go. Who misses him!" Bai Ling 'er patted Bai Bao' er and ignored her teasing.
Well, actually, she missed him a little just now. It was only a little bigger than her pinky nail.
"If you don't miss him, why do you hang his bell all day long?”Bai Bao 'er was in pain from Bai Linger's slap, but she didn't dare to stroke Bai Linger's beard. She only dared to talk to herself.
Ever since Erdai left, Bai Ling 'er had been wearing Erdai's bell. In fact, the reason why she hung this bell was because it was good-looking. Ling 'er happened to be a girl and liked to be smug. That was all!
She seemed to be dissatisfied with the answer, and even Little Ming 'er protested. Bai Ling 'er was a little happier to see him so energetic.
At this moment, Madam Wang and Bai Qiyao walked in. Bai Ling 'er then remembered that she had to go to the village chief's house with them to discuss the matter of land acquisition.
The two hills that were previously occupied had already been planted with herbs such as Huangqi, gentian, fangfeng, and Huangbai. However, a problem had arisen. These medicinal herbs were all perennials, and it would take at least two years to harvest them. And they wanted to plant something that could be harvested in a year.
If he wanted to plant it again, he would either dig up the original one or dig up the ground again. After a discussion with the Wang family and Bai Qiyao, Bai Ling 'er decided to continue growing the original herbs.
"Father, mother, you guys go with sister. I'll go pick mushrooms myself later!”Bai Bao 'er handed Ming' er over to Madam Wang with a smile and walked out alone with the basket.
"Be careful!" Madam Wang reminded her before she went to the village chief's house with Ling 'er.
They had thought that they had walked the path to pick mushrooms countless times, so they wouldn't have any accidents. Who knew that when Bao 'er came back that night, she really gave Ling' er and the Bai couple a fright.
"Bao 'er, who is this?" Bai Qiyao was the first to come back to his senses. He quickly went forward to help Bao 'er carry the woman inside.
"Father, I picked him up on the road. Look, he's injured!”Bai Bao 'er explained the person's background in a few sentences. Bai Ling' er quickly went forward to check.
Hearing that an injured person had arrived, Bai Bai became spirited and secretly observed this youth from the spirit spring space.
"Master, Master, he's only suffering from superficial injuries. He's fine! Just pour some spiritual spring water!" After discovering that the young man did not have any poison on him that could help him level up his level tree, Baibai was a little disappointed.
Ling 'er didn't think much of it. After all, not everyone would be poisoned.
Bai Qiyao had already gone to look for Father Tea, and Bai Bao 'er was squatting beside the injured young man to take care of him. "Bao 'er, where did you pick her up?" Madam Wang suddenly asked.”
"On the way to the mountain pass, what happened, mother?”Bai Bao 'er said whatever was on her mind, not hiding anything.
Madam Wang gasped. On the way to the mountain pass? It would take at least an incense stick's time to walk from the mountain pass to his home. Because Bai Bao 'er was born malnourished, her body was thinner than other children. She actually carried a person from the mountain pass to here!
Ling 'er's attention was not on this. After getting water from outside, she silently sized up the injured person. A brocade robe with auspicious clouds and dark patterns was not something that ordinary people could afford to wear. Her skin was fair and tender, so tender that water could be squeezed out. Bai Ling 'er took the opportunity to observe his hand while she was wiping his wound.
Her fingers were fair and slender, even more tender than Bai Ling 'er's!
This was clearly a young master from some family!
But why was the young master here?
He would only know all of this when he woke up.
Sigh, could picking up people become a habit? Bai Ling 'er smiled.
First Ming 'er, then Erdai, and then this young master. Sigh, picking them up one by one was indeed a little tiring. If possible, Ling' er wanted to pick up 30 to 50 strong laborers at once to farm for her.
"Bai family, tell me, other families pick up money and things, but when it comes to your family, it's all about picking up people!”Cha Hua's father and Ling 'er had the same idea. After bandaging the young master's wounds, they teased Bai Qiyao.
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. She's just lying on the side of the road. We can't just leave her to die, right?”Bai Qiyao went to get some silver for Father Tea Flower, but Father Tea Flower refused to accept it no matter what. In the end, he couldn't resist and accepted a pot of good wine that Bai Qiyao bought.
"You guys are so nice!" Dad Cha Hua shook his head and sighed. He left a bag of herbs and turned to go home.
After Bai Qiyao sent Father Tea Flower away, he sat there and sighed. He was also puzzled. Why didn't he pick up money or things? Why did he pick up people?
Little Ming 'er was still alright, as a son. Dumb is fine too, he's a good worker! However, what could this young master do? He couldn't lift his shoulders or his hands.
However, saving a life was better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Bai Qiyao, who had thought it through, laughed and looked at the young master with a gentle gaze.
Bao 'er had been secretly observing Bai Qiyao. She knew that the family had been very busy recently. They were so busy that they would have to leave him with their grandma tomorrow. Bai Qiyao had been unhappy at the start and she was more nervous than anyone else. Now that he had relaxed, she heaved a sigh of relief.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
