Chapter 68: The Zhang Family's Good Intentions
When the Zhang family left, the Bai family entered the hall, and they couldn't keep their spirits up.
"If we provoke anyone, we will have a reputation for being unfilial. Lin Ping'er muttered in a low voice.
Bai Ruozhu suddenly had a spirit, no, her family must not bear this name! The old man is also old and confused, and he doesn't want to think about anything else for the sake of saving face. The old lady is messing around, making outsiders think that the second room of the Bai family is unfilial, what if someone uses this as an excuse to play in the future and misses her second brother's future?
She didn't know about this Danliang Kingdom that appeared out of thin air, but she learned from her second brother that Emperor Wuning of Danliang Kingdom had not long ascended the throne and was also very young.
She quietly looked at the second brother, only to see that his expression was faint and he didn't seem to care.
He has the arrogance of a literati, and he thinks that he can stand up straight, but Bai Ruozhu will never allow anyone in his family to be wronged, and the second brother has studied hard for more than ten years, but he can't ruin his future because of this kind of thing.
"It's a good thing, but my milk is too eager. Bai Ruozhu sighed as she spoke, and then said to her father: "Send half of the thank you gifts from the Zhang family to my grandfather and grandmother." ”
The family looked at Bai Ruozhu with a look of surprise, it was not that the Bai family was stingy and reluctant to give things to the old man, but just now the old lady made such a fuss, and everyone was a little reluctant to give it out.
Even Bai Yihong frowned, and asked with some uncertainty: "Even if we send it over now, I'm afraid it won't be able to fall, right?"
Her father is actually a smart person, but in the face of his closest relatives, he can only be confused.
"Originally, I didn't plan not to give some to my grandfather and grandmother, to put it mildly, it's one thing for me to like them or not, but it's another thing to honor the elderly, I just don't like them anymore, and I have to fulfill my filial piety. It's just that we have to use our brains to give this thank you gift, and we can't send it in vain. ”
Bai Ruozhu had a college classmate who married early in her previous life, and she had nothing to say to her about how to get along with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she told Bai Ruozhu that she really didn't like her mother-in-law, and she couldn't get close to her mother-in-law, but she should give money to buy things, and there would be no shortage of things during the New Year's holidays.
treats the old house too, Bai Ruozhu will not be stupid enough to post all the family background, but those who should be filial will still be honored, and they should give birth and parenting for her father, so as not to make the family feel ashamed in their hearts for this little thing, and let people find fault with this matter.
"Your milk hand bleeds out, no matter what we send over, it will become an apology. Lin Ping'er panicked in her heart, and gave Bai Yihong a fierce glance as she spoke.
Just when the family was discussing what to do, there was a knock on the courtyard door again, and Fang Guizhi's voice came from outside: "Ruozhu, I'll come to see you." ”
Bai Ruozhu hurriedly got up to open the door, and as soon as Fang Guizhi entered the courtyard, he lowered his voice and said, "I just left your house, so I went to buy a piece of tofu and two fish and a jar of wine, and went to your grandfather's house." ”
"Huh?" Bai Ruozhu was stunned, the Zhang family didn't mention anything when they left, I was afraid that they would go to help them solve the trouble.
Outside the door of the Bai family's old house in Houshan Village, Zhang Liliang knocked on the door with his wife and daughter outside, and then shouted loudly: "Old Madam Bai, I'm here to apologize to you." ”
The old man sulked in the hall and didn't react immediately, while Wang saw Zhang Liliang carrying something through the crack in the door, and immediately ran to open the door in a hurry.
"Yo, why are you so polite, hurry up and invite it in the house. Wang saw Zhang Liliang mentioning something, not to mention how enthusiastic his attitude was.
Zhang Liliang waved his big hand and said, "I'll come to make compensation to Mrs. Bai, I have to go back quickly if I have something to do at home, so I won't enter the house." ”
He deliberately spoke in a loud voice, and sure enough, he attracted the attention of people nearby.
The old lady Bai listened to the movement and went to the door, and said with a smile: "What kind of gift, don't torture me." With that said, her eyes lit up as she watched the things in their hands.
Zhang Liliang handed over the things and said loudly: "This is my apology to you, blame me for what hook is hung on this cart, you touched the cart and scraped your hand, it's really embarrassing." ”
Old Madam Bai had already wrapped her fingers at this time, and she had stopped bleeding for a long time, she hurriedly said: "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, a little injury, you hurry up and go into the house to sit down and have a meal at home?"
The tone of her last sentence is an inquiring tone, not like a really enthusiastic person who pulls guests into the house and must stay for dinner.
Zhang Liliang waved at Mrs. Bai and said, "Thank you old lady, it's just that I still have business to do at home, so I can't miss the hour, so I won't pass it first, and I'll come to apologize another day." ”
After speaking, Zhang Liliang pushed the cart and left with his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, and when the old man Bai arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw that the people had already walked away, and the old lady was carrying a lot of things in her hands.
The old man's face was long, his chin was about to drop his chest, and he said coldly, "Let me go into the house." Then he went back to the hall in a rage.
No one saw the old lady of the Bai family go out that day, but the neighbors speculated that many people in the village knew that Bai Ruozhu had saved the female doll of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family pushed a cart to thank her, but why did the old lady Bai touch other people's carts and scrape her hands?
After Bai Ruozhu's family knew about the Zhang family's actions, they were very grateful, and Bai Yihong said that he must go to the town to thank Zhang Liliang if he has the opportunity.
In the evening of the same day, Bai Zehao and Bai Zepei brothers carried a lot of things to the old house, and the people who were enjoying the shade on the road saw it and asked, Bai Zehao smiled and said: "My family got some things, so naturally I want to honor my grandmother, but the guest was still there before, and my grandmother hurt her hand again, so we had to send it later." ”
Bai Zepei doesn't like to talk, but he occasionally adds, plus the conversation between the Zhang family and the Bai family's old house to apologize, and some people's understanding of the old lady Bai, he probably figured out the ins and outs, but no one said that the Bai family's second room was unfilial, but praised the children of the Bai family for becoming more and more outstanding.
In the blink of an eye, a few days later, Lin Ping'er discussed with Bai Yihong and decided to build a room in the courtyard. The eldest is also married, and the house is not enough to live in. The daughter's room is going to give birth to confinement, and it will definitely not be vacated. The eldest and the second are in the same room, if the house is made into a new house, where will the second child go to study?
Therefore, it became an urgent matter to add a room.
In the end, the two discussed it, because it didn't take much time to add a room, and the vacant space in the backyard was also set aside, so it was added to the back of the hall, and after it was built, it made a new house for the boss, and it also made the daughter of the Wang family more comfortable.
Just when the family was discussing the house, Mrs. Wang suddenly came to the door and brought a piece of news.
Wang Laidi, who was locked up in prison, was released!
