Chapter Seventy-Eight: Work to Pay for Medicine

Bai Jinli didn't seem to know that a teapot she just bought for Old Man Bai became his capital to show off.

And because of this teapot, the old man Bai was happy for several days, and he went out for a walk on the street when he had nothing to do, and he also took the teapot to continue to show off.

At this moment, when she came out of Mrs. Li's house and passed by the kitchen, Zhang was still washing dishes.

"Sister-in-law, you will come to my house after washing the dishes in a while, I have something to look for you."

"Hey, okay." Zhang hurriedly responded. When she knocked on the door and came in, Bai Jinli handed over the money she had sold today.

"Sister-in-law, the shopkeeper of the embroidery village said that your work is very good, and if you have embroidered finished products in the future, you can send them over, and the price is one hundred and thirty yuan for a handkerchief."

"This ...... So much? Zhang obviously didn't expect this result, and was a little frightened.

"It's okay, after all, your embroidery is really outstanding, and it's worth the price."

"Thank you." Zhang said thank you, blushing a little. Then, she took out half of it and took the initiative to hand it to Bai Jinli.

"Pear, it's really hard for you, you can take the money."

"Well, that's fine, then I'll take it first." Bai Jinli almost understood Zhang's temperament, and knew that if she didn't take the money, Zhang would definitely be embarrassed to trouble her in the future, so she simply took it.

Sure enough, the next moment, I saw Zhang quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law, your skills are so good, you can teach Bai Meng."

"Well, I've had this plan, but I've been busy, and I really don't have time, so I'll see after a while."

"Yes, nothing else."

"Then pear, you rest, I'll go back first." Zhang hurriedly offered his farewell. In the afternoon, Bai Jinli asked Bai Mo to inquire about Erfat's current residence.

Coincidentally, the place where they live now is in the same place as their old house, and it is not far away.

There used to be several families on that street, including the Wang family. The Wang family also moved out because of the increase in population in the family, and the previous house was small and dilapidated, which was not enough to live in.

Now that they have split up, they have returned to their old house. After inquiring about the address, Bai Jinli took the things she bought for the old house, and by the way, the two medicines went to the old house.

On one side of their old house was a vacant place, and on the other side was Li Manman's house. Counting from Li Manman's house to the fifth house, it is where Er Fat lives now.

Bai Jinli originally wanted to knock on the door, but when she saw the tattered wooden door that couldn't be closed, she shouted directly.

"Erfat, are you at home?"

"Boss, why are you here? Looking for me something? The second fat ran out with a puzzled face.

"Well, you don't know yet, do you? Our old house is now my territory, and I'm going to go over and get busy for a while, so I'll stop by to see you. Why, don't you invite me in and sit? ”

"Boss, come in." The second fat took her in. Bai Jinli looked back and forth in this room a few times, looking at the furnishings that were even more dilapidated than their old home before, and didn't say anything.

In the house, Tu was lying on the bed coaxing the child, and Wang Tiezhu estimated that he had gone to work in the field and was not at home.

When Tu Shi saw Bai Jinli appear, he hurriedly greeted him warmly, and kept saying words of thanks.

"Auntie, you lie down, I'll just take a look, it's okay."

"Erfat, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and pour water. Tu greeted.

"Boss, don't mind, we just moved back and don't have all the things." When he handed over a bowl with a gap, Erfat's face was obviously embarrassed.

"Well, you come out with me in a while, I have something to tell you." Bai Jinli took the bowl and drank the water, and then walked out.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Standing outside, Er Fat asked her.

"Second fat, you said that you have worshiped me as the boss for so long, why don't you know to come and help me? Do you think I took you as a little brother for decoration? Bai Jinli's sudden scolding startled the second fat and Tu Shi in the room.

"What do you see? Do you really think that I, Bai Jinli, am such a person to mess with? ”

"I'm ......" Er Fat lowered his head slightly, unable to say what he felt in his heart.

"I'm telling you, from today onwards, you go and fetch me water, sweep the floor and water the vegetables, and you will do whatever I tell you to do. If you don't obey, don't blame me for hitting you! The more Tu Shi in the room listened, the more worried he became, and he couldn't help but want to get out of bed and take a look.

"Got it." The second fat nodded.

"Uh-huh, these are the payments I paid you in advance, I tell you, take these things, don't think about asking me for wages or anything, nothing." With a cold snort, Bai Jinli handed over the two pairs of medicines.

"Why are you stunned, don't take it yet!"

"Thank you." At this moment, the second fat bit his lip and spoke softly. What else did he not understand?

Bai Jinli deliberately murdered him so much, just so that he would not have the burden to accept the medicinal materials she gave.

They had just been separated, and their families were destitute and had no money. Although the doctor said that let his mother rest well, otherwise there will be danger at any time, but they don't have money, and they really don't have money to buy medicine.

He and his father were dying of sorrow, and he even wanted to sell himself to the county as a long-term laborer in exchange for some money to treat his mother.

When discussing this matter with his mother, Bai Jinli came. If you don't get moved, it's impossible.

Bai Jinli saved his mother's life twice in a row, and now he is even more charcoal in the snow, this friendship, he is really unforgettable.

"Hmph, when you're done with these two days, remember to come to me to work, the address is next door to Li Manman's house, I'll go back first." The second fat watched Bai Jinli's back go away, and his eyes were a little red.

He carried the medicine into the house, and Tu Shi asked him with some concern what happened and why he made Bai Jinli unhappy.

The second fat opened his mouth to explain, Tu Shi suddenly felt a little weak, and then opened his mouth apologetically.

"Second fat, Bai Jinli is a good person, in the future, what she asks you to do, you will be obedient."

"yes, I know." The second fat nodded solemnly and opened the medicine, which was mixed with a note, and the method and time of how to decoct the medicine were written on the note.

He went to decoction a pair of medicines according to the above method and time, and when it cooled a little, he fed Tu Shi to drink.

After a while, Rice also came running to him. didn't say anything, just stuffed a few steamed buns into his hand, turned around and ran.

Erfat pinched the steamed buns and stood for a long time, then turned around and went back to the house. Bai Jinli came to the old house alone this time, and closed the door directly after entering the door.

She bought a lot of things, kitchen utensils, necessities needed in the house, and a small dustpan and so on.

While he was putting things away, there was a knock on the door. Bai Jinli opened the door, and the person standing at the door was Erfat.

"Boss, I'm here to pay for the medicine."

"Doesn't your mother need to be taken care of? Didn't I say that you should come back to me in a few days? ”

"It's okay, my mother asked me to come."

"Alright, go get some water for me." Bai Jinli was not polite.

"Okay." The second fat nodded happily and went out with a flat pole and two buckets. Taking advantage of this time, Bai Jinli washed the large water tank that was originally shelved in the yard with the remaining water at home.

Waiting for the second fat to come back with water, Bai Jinli said directly.

"Your task today is to help me finish the water tank and put those things in the kitchen later."

"Okay, no problem." The second fat nodded, turned around and continued to carry water. In the process of carrying water, several families saw him and couldn't help but look at him for a while.

When those people found out that Er Fat actually worked for Bai Jinli again, they immediately talked back and forth.

"Hey, did you see, isn't that person a fat man? How did you go to carry water for Bai Jinli? Could it be that he was forced by Bai Jinli? ”

"Probably. Who doesn't know that Erfat's family has just broken up, and Erfat's mother is not in good health, and the family is very embarrassed. This Bai Jinli will take advantage of the fire to rob, but it is too much to bully people at this point. ”

"Hey, it's not easy to think about this two fat, he is being bullied by Bai Jinli so much now, and he has no one to help him, what a pitiful little thing."

"Why don't you help her?"

"Don't dare, that's Bai Jinli's family, I'll help Erfat, what if Bai Jinli is not happy, what if he comes over and tears my hands again?"

"Hey, this Bai Jinli, it's really scary, do you know, I heard the daughter-in-law of the Wang family say that Bai Jinli made a big fuss in their house a few days ago."

"What's going on?"

"......" and the others quickly began to discuss other things. There is no shortage of gossips in this world.

They pretend to see through everything on the surface, and all kinds of help the weak say good things, showing their bodhisattva heart.

But when it came to getting down to business, they retreated and made all kinds of excuses to excuse themselves. If they really have that kind heart, it's not just as simple as words.

Even if she was afraid that Bai Jinli wouldn't dare to slap her in person, she could secretly pull Er Fat to ask about the situation.

Or if you really want to help, go directly to the second fat family to send food and drink. These are the things that Erfat needs most now, okay?

I don't understand anything, just guess based on what I see, and then accuse others with righteous words, it's really out of line.

This kind of person can only be a long-tongued woman for the rest of his life. Bai Jinli didn't know about these, and even if she knew, she didn't want to defend anything.

Because at this moment, she is cooking noodles in the old house. The water tank in the yard was very large, and it took Er Fat more than ten times to fill the water tank.

Sweating all over, when the second fat was standing under the big tree in Bai Jinli's house to rest, he heard her shouting.

"Second fat, come over and help light the fire."

"Here we are, Boss." Hearing this, Er Fat hurriedly ran over.

"There's some cold boiled water here, you take a sip first." Bai Jinli said and handed over a scoop of water.

"Yes." Er Fat took it and poured it down, only to feel that the water seemed to be exceptionally clear, and the fatigue on his body had also been reduced a lot.

Having the strength, he began to help light the fire.

"Boss, what are you doing here?"
