Chapter 17 (Greed)
"This kid is really getting more and more stupid, why don't you know how to answer when your second aunt asks you?" Bai Gaoshi saw that Bai Xiaoshi was struggling and didn't speak, and immediately frowned, but his crisp appearance was not vague at all because it was her own grandson.
"Grandma and the second aunt just want to ask me to find me, what can they know when the stone is still so small." Bai Cuicui saw Xiao Gao's pulling the small stone and asking him, so she hurriedly stepped forward to rescue Bai Xiaoshi from her hands, and said calmly with her head up.
'Huh, ask you?' If you're that honest, I still need to ask that kid? When Xiao Gao heard Bai Cuicui's words, he pursed his lips disdainfully, and snorted coldly in his heart. "Okay, let me ask you, where did your father get the money to go to the county?" Since it doesn't work to ask the small ones, it's better to just ask the big ones directly, and save yourself from wasting your tongue.
"Of course I borrowed it from our uncle, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take it from my second aunt?" Bai Cuicui knew that there would be no good thing for these two people to come. No, it only took a while for the fox's tail to leak out.
"What are you talking about, where did I get the money, do you think everyone is like your father, eating and drinking from the public, and in the end you have to eat inside and outside to hide private money?" Xiao Gao was afraid that her mother would be suspicious of herself after listening to Bai Cuicui's words, so she hurriedly bluffed to show her loyalty, and then sarcastically said to Bai Cuicui: "I also borrowed it from your uncle's family, hmph, who believes it, you are stupid when we are, just his Lu Baichuan's shabby appearance, and spare money to borrow others?" He should be thankful that his own family didn't starve to death. β
Bai Cuicui just stood quietly, and Xiao Gao's was talking nonsense there, and she didn't defend herself, until she heard that she had lost everyone one by one, and then she spread her hands and said calmly: "I didn't say anything, second aunt, why are you so nervous, won't there really be something to hide from everyone." Ignoring Xiao Gao's reaction, he continued, "Anyway, this money was borrowed from my uncle's family, if you don't believe it, then I can't do anything, not to mention how do you know if my uncle's family really has no money, or is it pretending?" After all, everyone understands that money is not exposed. β
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Gao's really didn't refute it, she was not the roundworm in Lu Baichuan's stomach, how could she know. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, if Lu Baichuan really has any money, how can everyone not know? But looking at this girl's calm face, it doesn't look like she's lying. When Xiao Gao thought of this, he couldn't help but be stunned, after all, the previous thing about Bai Dafu and his wife hiding their private money was also guessed by themselves, so it is even more difficult to say whether Lu Baichuan really has no money.
And now that Bai Dafu's family has been separated, naturally there is no power to question Duo, so Xiao Gao's family can't help but turn his eyes to Bai Gao's family, signaling what to do about this matter.
Bai Gao's was still holding the shelf, waiting for Xiao Gao's to get things done, after all, she is also a grandmother, and some things are not easy to do too much, but who knows that this second daughter-in-law is usually clever, how can she fall off the chain when she is provoked by a girl at a critical time, and she is really praised for nothing. Thinking of this, Bai Gao's glanced at Xiao Gao's dissatisfaction on the spot.
"Why, have you forgotten the rules for a few days? Didn't you see me and your second aunt standing here for a long time? You don't even know how to invite us in and drink a glass of water? Bai Gao held the elder's shelf and lectured Bai Cuicui with a straight face.
Although Bai Cuicui was reluctant to invite the two of them into the house, due to the ancient respect for filial piety, she had to invite them into the house with a smile on her face.
"Yo, I can't imagine that in just a few days, this place has been cleaned up so well." As soon as Xiao Gao's eyes entered the house, he glanced around, although his mouth was good, but it was like a bandit crossing the border, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find things, "Come, let the second aunt see what is still missing, and I can bring it to you when the time comes." β
Of course, Bai Cuicui knew what she was looking for, but unfortunately Xiao Gao's house was demolished, and she didn't want to get half of it. Because she knew that when her mother left in the morning, she took all the money with her, and she thought that her mother would do what if she lost the money, but now that she thinks about it, her mother is worthy of living with these two people for so long, and she has already found out their temperament. That's why we can take precautions.
Although she thought so in her heart, Bai Cuicui still sarcastically said to Xiao Gao's family: "This is also thanks to the second aunt's 'help', otherwise how could we have cleaned it up so quickly." But since the second aunt wanted to help, it happened that our family was still short of a firewood knife, so I would be cheeky to go back to the second aunt to ask for it. "Hmph, just like your iron rooster, if you don't ask us for something, what do you say to us? See that I don't disgust you.
Xiao Gao's rummaged for a while, and even Bai Dongye, who was sleeping lazily in the back room, was dragged up by her, and searched all over to check the bad excuse of losing weight. In the end, he still didn't find a copper plate, but he still lifted a stone and hit his own foot, "The second aunt is still eating the public meal, where can I get the extra firewood knife for you, okay, I'll see if there is anything left over when the time comes, and bring it to you." After speaking, she glanced at Bai Cuicui with reluctance, and she didn't know that she thought that Bai Cuicui had done something angry and resentful.
'Well, I still have leftover food like you, and it's not uncommon for us to have them. Bai Cuicui and Bai Dongye thought of a piece at this time.
Bai Gao's saw that her second daughter-in-law had been busy for a long time, but she didn't find anything, and she was also very unhappy, after all, she thought that the old family had hidden the money so she couldn't wait to come, but it turned out to be a trip for nothing, naturally angry, but it was impossible for her to go back empty-handed, so she looked around, and picked up the half bag of brown rice given by Uncle Niu and planned to take it away.
Seeing this, of course, Bai Cuicui would not be taken away by her like this, so she hurriedly stepped forward and "begged": "Grandma, our family has so little to eat now, you can have pity on us and return it to us." "Anyway, they are all your relatives, you won't do it so badly.
It's a pity that Bai Cuicui's thoughts are still too naΓ―ve, her Bai Gao clan is not an ordinary person, if she really cares about family affection, she will not do anything to sweep Bai Dafu's family out of the house. You must know that if Bai Dafu and the Lu family hadn't planned in advance, and there were so many kind-hearted villagers to help, then Bai Cuicui's family would really be desperate.
