Chapter 22: The Strength of the Strong (2)
Here it is!
Li Mu had already seen through that Bai Nao'er was a master of snake-beating sticks, so he went around in such a big circle today. He expected that Bai Hao'er's next words would definitely be to make a bark, and sure enough, looking at the posture, Bai Hao'er came as he thought!
Li Mu showed a look of embarrassment, frowned, and said, "Have something to ask for?" Whatever you can ask for, it's nothing more than money, well, for the sake of ingenuity, when you leave tomorrow, in addition to entanglement, I will give you the usual money to buy clothes to wear. Bai Qiaoqiao heard that Li Mu was going to take money out again, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Lang Jun, you don't need to give money, my father is ...... He is not short of money to spend. β
Today, Li Mu is already magnanimous enough, Bai Qiaoqiao is a woman who knows proportion, and now she has regarded herself as Li Mu's wife, although the other end is her father, but she will never let Li Mu suffer.
Bai Hao'er scolded in her heart for losing money, but she had a smile on her face and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, Qiaoqiao is right, I don't lack money to spend." Although I don't make a lot of money from my liquor shop, I can make a living. I want to beg you for something, not this. β
Li Mu pretended not to know, and said, "That's strange, what else can you ask me for?" β
"Uh...... I'm a little embarrassed to speak. Bai Nao'er rubbed his hands and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, I only have a pair of children, my daughter is with you, I don't have to worry about it in the future, only this son ......" Bai Nao'er said, slapped Bai Gensheng, he was drinking broth, Bai Nao'er slapped down, choked and coughed. Bai Nao'er glared at him and said to Li Mu: "Gensheng, this child is two years younger than you, you can be regarded as growing up together, his temperament you know, stupid and naΓ―ve, a big man in the air, no scheming, if he has half of your life, I will not think of letting Qiaoqiao marry a rich man, so that he can make up the bride price." This person is stupid, don't you have to fill the hole with money......"
Before he finished speaking, Bai Gensheng interrupted him and said, "Dad, why are you lying, don't you often say that I am much better than the stupid boy of the Li family, my brother-in-law's family is surnamed Li near our house, you are talking about him, no one else!" β
"Mouth owes! Beat you to death! Bai Nao'er's face turned white, and he raised his hand to give Bai Gensheng a slap, Bai Gensheng was beaten, his mouth became honest, he didn't dare to speak, and he ate meat with his head bored.
Bai Hao'er grinned awkwardly, wanting to explain, but was stopped by Li Mu waving his hand: "If you don't mention the previous things, I won't mention it, don't worry, I won't be angry because of this little thing, what are you asking me for, hurry up and say it, and eat well after speaking!" β
"Huh!" Bai Hao'er responded happily and said quickly: "It's not a big deal, and the roots are not small, they are all fifteen." Although the brain is not active, it has the strength of the shoulder. Virtuous son-in-law, you are now a county magistrate, if he can follow you, even if he is a miscellaneous man, it is better than staying at home, do you say yes, virtuous son-in-law. β
"This ......" Li Mu groaned and didn't answer, Bai Qiaoqiao understood, this is to ask Li Mu to give Bai Gensheng a future, and immediately said: "Dad, my family Langjun has just taken office as a county leader, and his foothold is not stable, I really can't help this at this time, don't mention this matter again, let's eat." β
This is her true words, if you compare between Bai Hao'er, Bai Gensheng, and Li Mu, the most important thing in Bai Qiaoqiao's heart is, of course, Li Mu. Although she hoped that Li Mu could forgive Bai Hao'er, it was all. Bai Qiaoqiao didn't think that Li Mu should do anything for Bai Hao'er, because it was unfair. From childhood to adulthood, how many times did Bai Hao'er belittle Li Mu openly and secretly, others didn't know, she was naturally clear as a daughter. In the past, Li Mu hated the Bai family, and Bai Qiaoqiao also knew it in his heart. Now that Li Mu is so generous, Bai Qiaoqiao is very content, and she also knows that Li Mu is for her, so she can't be pampered and arrogant, making Li Mu embarrassed.
Seeing that her daughter actually spoke out to stop her, Bai Hao'er hurriedly said: "Qiaoqiao, Dad knows that you still hold a grudge, you beat your father and scolded your father, and Dad admits it." But you can't take revenge on your brother, my father is such a son, our Bai family's incense still expects him to continue, if he has a good future, what's wrong. The virtuous son-in-law is now a county magistrate, and he has a bad relationship with the son of General Li Jida, and the future is bright, how can it be said that he has an unstable foothold? Qiaoqiao, you can help your father say something, let the virtuous son-in-law do me a favor, and your father will kneel down for you......"
Bai Hao'er wanted to kneel again, Bai Qiaoqiao was so angry that he simply didn't even help him, and pulled Li Mu to leave. She is angry and aggrieved, angry at Bai Hao'er, how can she be so bottomless, aggrieved in what Bai Hao'er said, she has never done it, and she hasn't thought about it that way, he has to say that, it sounds like it's still the same thing, it's really hateful.
Li Mu grabbed Bai Qiaoqiao, looked at Bai Hao'er who was pretentious, his face was full of helplessness, and said, "Old man, you can really go out with an open face." I will obey you in this regard, yes, I promised to do this, tomorrow you go back, Gensheng will stay here, I see if there is any place to use people in the yamen, tell him something, and listen to it in the yamen first. Is that okay? β
"Okay! That's great! Bai Hao'er was overjoyed and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, you are the great benefactor of my Bai family!" Saying that Bai Hao'er was about to kneel again, Li Mu dragged him up and said, "You have no bones in your knees?" Kneel at every turn, and if you do it again, you can go now! β
Bai Gensheng also felt faceless, and said: "Dad, you are always embarrassed, I can't even see it, how did you treat your brother-in-law before, but now you are acting like this...... Hum! Bai Gensheng didn't dare to say bad things about his father, there was no way, and he snorted.
Bai Nao'er raised his hand and slapped again, scolding: "Little rabbit, it's not all for you!" Eat, eat, eat, the starving ghost in the previous life was reincarnated! Your brother-in-law has helped you so much, why don't you get up to give your brother-in-law a gift? β
"Thank you, brother-in-law, thank you, brother-in-law!" Bai Gensheng got up to give Li Mu a salute, but this time Li Mu didn't hide and accepted Bai Gensheng's gift. Bai Qiaoqiao whispered: "Lang Jun doesn't have to be like this, you are already good enough for Qiaoqiao, you don't have to agree." β
Bai Chao'er was afraid of accidents, so she hurriedly cried: "Daughter, it's not okay for my father to apologize to you......" Li Mu was upset when he heard this, pointed at Bai Chao'er, and said: "You stop me, everything depends on you, it's endless?" Let me hear this tune again, and get out of here!" β
Seeing that Li Mu put down his face, Bai Hao'er didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he quickly put it away, and sat down with a smile on his face.
Li Mu pulled Bai Qiaoqiao to sit down, picked up the chopsticks, and said, "Okay, let's eat!" β
"Eh, eat, eat!" Bai Hao'er also picked up the dishes and chopsticks, no one sandwiched meat for him, he sandwiched it himself, while eating, he praised it, no one paid attention to him, he talked to himself.
