Chapter 39: Meaning
Seeing that Bai Zhihong obviously didn't want to listen to the tricks between their women anymore, Bai Zhang obviously glanced at Bai Yang, but the latter always maintained a low-eyebrow demeanor and didn't even give her a look.
Gritting his teeth with hatred, Bai Zhang's knew that this younger brother and sister was not as good as Bai Yao's, so he could only swallow his resentment into his stomach, and then said with a smile to Bai Zhihong and Bai Yao's skin: "No, after the Dragon Boat Festival, at the beginning of August, it will be the old man's sixtieth birthday. According to the meaning of our brothers and sisters, your family and my sister-in-law's family are not good, so I won't trouble you to be a part. However, my mother-in-law said, you are also the heart and soul of the old man, so it is natural to make a contribution together, so as not to spread it and ruin the reputation of our family, but our family has abandoned your two brothers and sisters! ”
"A father's birthday, a son's filial piety, that's naturally necessary!" Bai Zhihong lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't look at Bai Zhang's face, and only responded, "May I ask my sister-in-law, is my father's birthday set on the day of his birthday or in advance?" ”
"Well, my mother-in-law hasn't decided yet!" Bai Zhang's eyes flickered from side to side, and he deliberately glanced at Bai Yang, who was still staring at his toes and didn't respond to her.
She was so angry that she muttered something in a low voice, and said with a smile on her face: "However, my mother-in-law said that as long as the date is set, I will definitely come to inform the second brother and second brother and sister, but before that, we have to settle the account first!" ”
"Account? What's the account? Bai Zhihong raised his eyes to look at Bai Zhang a little blankly, and Bai Yao turned his head sideways in understanding.
And Bai Qingshuang is not the little girl who didn't understand anything before, and she quickly heard the general meaning from Bai Zhang's words.
Dare to be affectionate, they are asking them to give a share of money to hold a birthday banquet for the old man! What a calculation!
And from the eyes she had just dodged, Bai Qingshuang was thinking with her toes, and she also knew that they were purely here to exploit them, knowing that they were poor and couldn't even eat.
But she can't talk too much at this time, after all, her father is talking to her eldest sister-in-law, and even Bai Yao knows that she doesn't interject, so as a daughter, she can't interject at will without giving face to her father.
"The second brother is really a nerd, he doesn't even understand these people's sophistication!" Bai Zhang's chuckled, and there was only one slit left in his small eyes, "Mother-in-law calculated the cost of this banquet, considering that the situation in your family is not very good, so I won't let you share the share with our two families equally, you just need to take out two hundred taels of silver to show your heart!" ”
Bai Zhang's fluttering sentence of two hundred taels of silver was so shocked that Bai Zhihong and Bai Yao looked at her in surprise, even Bai Qingshuang couldn't help but pursed the corners of her mouth, and her forehead twitched.
"Two hundred taels? Sister-in-law, you're not joking, are you? Bai Zhihong looked at Bai Zhang's in disbelief, and felt cold in his heart no matter how he thought about it.
Since Feng'er turned one year old, the doctor diagnosed and treated the child as a demented cripple, and the father drove the family of three out of the main house because the child was ominous and unlucky, and only gave them this shabby small broken yard in the northern suburbs that was not worth a few dollars for them to live in, and only gave one or two pieces of silver a month, and he had to endure the humiliation again and again to come to the door to beg for it, from the beginning of the month to the end of the month to see the servant's face to get it.
And at this moment, this sister-in-law, who had fallen into the well from the beginning, actually opened her mouth with two hundred taels of silver, and said that she only gave two hundred taels to take care of their poor family!
Hehe! Hehehe! Is this deliberately bullying them?
Looking at the gentle Bai Zhihong's eyes suddenly filled with dissatisfied, Bai Zhang's eyes avoided his gaze with some weakness, and looked at Bai Yao, who she thought was easier to bully, and said: "The second brother is used to laughing, how can the sister-in-law joke with her mother-in-law's words at will!" Second brother and daughter-in-law, the second brother is not at home, so he naturally doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and it takes thousands of taels of silver to hold a birthday banquet, not to mention that it will not make people feel shabby. And the old man is a famous Confucian master in the capital, highly respected, once the news goes out, don't say that it is an invitation invitation, I am afraid that there are also officials who have studied under the old man to come to celebrate, this thousand taels of silver may not be enough! ”
"Since my sister-in-law knows that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive, hasn't my sister-in-law calculated the situation in my family?" Previously, because Bai Zhang was talking to Bai Zhihong, it was inconvenient for Bai Yao to interject, at this time, since she didn't dare to talk to her husband eye to eye, and turned to herself, Bai Yao naturally had to express her grievances.
If it was before, when she encountered such a thing, she would at most be anxiously and secretly wiping her tears, and she would have to sell it to make up money for the old man's birthday.
But after experiencing the panic of almost losing Bai Qingshuang and now seeing hope for her future life, she is definitely strong and doesn't want to be bullied as a wronged boss anymore.
Moreover, she listened and watched from the sidelines, obviously better than Bai Zhihong, who could understand Bai Zhang's weak expression, how could she be calculated like this.
"Back then, the old man drove out our family of three, not a penny, that is, my dowry was confiscated by you who was in charge of the family because the old man did not allow it, for 14 years, we have no food and clothing, poor, and take one or two cases of silver to see the face of the servant, this kind of day, sister-in-law thinks that if you come to change it, are you willing?"
"Ahem! Second brother and daughter-in-law, what you said is not to be heard, your dowry was not allowed to be taken away at the beginning, it is indeed the old man's meaning! After all, the bride price given to your family at the beginning was also a lot, so we can't let our Bai family lose face and lose money! Bai Zhang's said that this was very reasonable, obviously he did get the permission of Old Man Bai at the beginning, "Besides, give your family one or two cases of silver, and it is also calculated that your family of three can live, who called yourself troublesome, gave birth to a demon, and was not happy, so he picked up a money-losing goods that no one wanted, and the things were shared by others, of course you will not have enough food and clothing!" ”
Bai Zhang said, his eyes glanced at Bai Qingshuang with contempt.
"Auntie, am I losing money, I really don't need to report to you! However, you must know that feng shui takes turns, thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river, I believe that my father and mother will not be poor all their lives! "Being named, Bai Qingshuang can finally seize the opportunity to fight back, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable to hold it in my heart with a full stomach.
