Chapter 015: The Bai family has good luck
"Mother, let's go home and talk about it. "Thirty taels of silver is a lot of income for the Zhuang family, if Lin Ping'er knows, I'm afraid she will be excited for a while.
Lin Ping'er didn't ask much after hearing this, and the two found a donkey cart and rushed back to Houshan Village.
The donkey cart was only delivered to the entrance of the village, and the two saw Bai Zehao waiting there from a distance, his face was slightly red in the sun, and a shadow was dragging behind him. Bai Zehao had a little anxiety on his face, he must have been worried about his mother and sister, until he saw the two, his face showed joy, and he strode up to meet him.
"Mother, sister, you can count it, my father is afraid that my sister is tired, so he asked me to take you home. Bai Zehao said with a smile.
"Look how squeamish you think I am. Bai Ruozhu said and winked at her eldest brother, Bai Zehao was happy, and quietly winked at his sister, Lin Ping'er was confused, what are these brothers and sisters selling?
As soon as the three of them entered the door, they saw Bai Yihong and Bai Zepei waiting in the main house, apparently for a family meeting. Bai Zehao closed the door and inserted it again, and then followed into the main house.
"Girl, you've done the family a great favor this time. Bai Yihong's face flushed, and he was a little excited but lowered his voice and said.
Lin Ping'er couldn't hold back for a long time, and hurriedly asked, "How much silver did the fresh soup noodles sell?"
Bai Ruozhu hurriedly made a booing gesture: "Mother, be quiet, I sold it for thirty taels of silver." ”
"What?" Lin Ping'er couldn't help but raise her voice, but she quickly reacted, and asked in disbelief: "Really?"
Seeing that Bai Ruozhu and Bai Zehao both nodded at her with smiles, Bai Yihong also had a smile on his face, and she completely believed it.
"Great!" Lin Ping'er's face flushed, and she was very happy at first glance, but her expression quickly became stern, "Ruozhu, you did the right thing, you should let your eldest brother come back first, and no one in our family can say anything about this, especially not let your grandmother and your uncle know!"
Bai Yihong's expression was slightly embarrassed, but he also nodded seriously, Bai Zehao and Bai Zepei naturally had no opinion, and they also said okay. If you let the people in the old mansion know, I'm afraid there won't be a few taels of silver left.
"Mother, we have silver at home, so hurry up and prepare the eldest brother's dowry and send it to the Wang family. Bai Ruozhu smiled and said.
Bai Zehao couldn't help blushing, as the eldest son of the family, he didn't help the family, but let his sister worry about marrying a daughter-in-law for him, he felt that his nose was a little sour, and couldn't help shouting: "Little sister ......"
Lin Ping'er saw that the brothers and sisters had a good relationship, and her heart was even happier, "Ruozhu is right, it's time to do this, and the rest of the silver will also be given to Ruozhu to make up for his body." ”
Of course, the family had no objections, and Bai Yihong said excitedly: "Our family is finally lucky!"
Thirty taels of silver can even be eaten and drunk for most of the year, and the Bai family can get this silver all of a sudden, and the situation of the family can also improve.
Lin Ping'er is an anxious child, and she has to discuss with Bai Yihong what to prepare for the dowry right now, Bai Zehao and Bai Zepei have to avoid it, and Bai Ruozhu is not suitable for being present, but before she left, she took out the remaining four taels of broken silver and handed it to Lin Ping'er, "Mother, I bought a few medicinal herbs, I want to make something, and I have more than four taels of silver left." ”
As for the five taels of silver given by Du Zhongshu, Bai Ruozhu didn't want to mention it yet, on the one hand, her toothpaste hadn't come out yet, and on the other hand, it was a little unclear when she mentioned it, as for the five taels of silver, Bai Ruozhu also planned to keep it for operating costs and use it when buying medicinal materials in the future.
"You don't want to give it to your mother, keep it for yourself, and buy something for yourself and the doll. Lin Ping'er directly pushed the broken silver back.
"Mother, I have food and clothing at home, what kind of money do I need, does my mother still want to drive me out?" Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.
When Lin Ping'er heard this, she hurriedly said, "How come? As long as I am with your father for a day, no one can drive you away!"
Bai Yihong didn't say anything on the side, but his expression was a little depressed, he also wanted to keep his daughter for a lifetime, but what would she do in the future? If she couldn't find immortality, would her daughter have to be widowed for the rest of her life? This is still the same age.
Thinking of this, Bai Yihong secretly made up his mind that he must save more money, let his daughter remarry in three or four years, prepare a rich dowry for her, and definitely marry a good family.
In the end, Lin Ping'er still insisted on only accepting two taels of silver, and leaving the rest for Bai Ruozhu for pocket use, saying that the silver was originally earned by Bai Ruozhu, and the whole family was stained with her light, so she was embarrassed to keep such a little.
After Bai Ruozhu took the silver and went out, Bai Yihong sighed and whispered to Lin Ping'er: "Our family needs money urgently, otherwise this money should be saved for the girl and made a dowry in the future." ”
"Do you want Ruozhu to marry again?" Lin Ping'er asked with some surprise.
"That can't be bitter for the child for a lifetime, let's pick a good family for her in a few years. Bai Yihong said with a sigh.
Lin Ping'er didn't speak, but she was a little worried in her heart, her daughter was good in everything, she looked good, she had a good temperament and was diligent and skillful, but unfortunately this situation was not good, is it really easy to remarry in the future?
Bai Ruozhu took the silver back to her house, she thought in her heart, whether the silver was given to her, she had a reason to improve the food and buy some things for the family, especially when it was time to buy a pen for the second brother.
It is not easy for the Zhuang family to support the scholars, her second brother is also a sensible, and he has been very frugal in terms of reading, and he used to often write letters or copy books to earn some silver, but now the exam is imminent, and his mother does not allow him to be distracted, so he did not go out to make money to subsidize the family.
Bai Ruozhu happened to see the second brother practicing calligraphy on the table in the room before, in order to save paper and ink, he took a brush dipped in water and wrote on the table, but his brush had been used for a long time at a glance, and he was already a little bald.
And the cuffs of her mother's clothes are worn white, and there are patches on her elbows, the last time she saw the eldest aunt in the old house, she was wearing brand new, and there was no patch on her body.
and her father, who used to like to drink two sips of wine, but because of family difficulties, he hasn't bought wine for a long time.
Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but feel a little sad, so he told his eldest brother that he was going to the village tofu workshop to buy a piece of tofu to cook at night, Bai Zehao was not worried about accompanying him, but he was persuaded by Bai Ruozhu.
"Big brother, you go and water and fertilize the vegetable patch in the backyard, I'll go back as soon as I go to the tofu factory. Bai Ruozhu insisted.
Bai Zehao thought that the village chief had only disposed of the Liu family a few days ago, and no one in the village should dare to trouble Bai Ruozhu, so he didn't insist anymore.
Bai Ruozhu hurriedly carried a basket and went out, went straight to the tofu shop to buy a piece of tofu, and found a place where no one was there to get into the space, caught a fathead fish in the fish pond, and then came out of the space.
