CHAPTER XVI

When Bai Susu returned home, he didn't hear the lively sound of the children, but saw Bai Laohan holding the wine jug alone on the bed.

When Bai Susu saw it, he immediately put down the cart in his hand, stepped forward and put aside the wine jug in his arms, and said with a solemn face: "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Drinking so much alcohol? ”

I saw that the old man Bai refused to say anything, so he snatched the wine jug again and held it in his arms. For as long as he can remember, Bai Susu has never seen him drunk like this, could it be that he was bullied?

Thinking of this, Bai Susu's tone softened, and one hand stroked his shoulder, comforting: "Dad, what's going on?" You tell your daughter, it's so late, what about Sister Qiu and Brother Dong? ”

Hearing Bai Susu mention Qiu Mei and Brother Dong, Bai Laohan cried more and more fiercely, buried his head in his arms, and cried out of his tears, Bai Susu couldn't sit still when he saw him like this, and glanced around the room, but still didn't see the shadows of the two children.

"Dad, you're talking, what about the kid?"

Bai Susu walked up to him quickly and asked sharply. The old white man wiped his tears with his sleeve, raised his head, and took a long breath with a sad face.

"Child, let me send it away, your third aunt told you a family affair a few days ago, that person is a good outsider, marry you as a concubine, but there is a condition, I can't take the child, so I sent the child to your third aunt first."

After hearing this, Bai Susu stared at him dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "Dad, how can you be so confused?" Anyway, pick up the kids first! ”

Before the words fell, the black light was blinded and felt out, running all the way, Bai Susu fell, and something fell to the ground. She got up with a disgraced face and ran in the direction of the courtyard of the third uncle's house, the two families were separated by a distance of several hundred meters, and Bai Susu touched it back with her memory.

"Third uncle! Third aunt! Bai Zijin stood at the door, raised all his strength and shouted loudly. Several nearby families lit candles, frightened by Bai Zijin's shouts, and poked their heads out of the window to see who was making noise at the door.

Fang Lian and Bai Zhongbao had already fallen asleep and heard the shouts outside the door? Fang Lian couldn't help but roll her eyes, and said to Bai Zhongbao: "You go outside and take a look, call that crazy woman in, and stop yelling." ”

"I guess I'm here for the sake of the child, so we can't open this door."

Fang Lian thought about it for a while, nodded, gritted her teeth and said: "You are right, she must have come for those two children, and finally we persuaded your eldest brother, don't call Bai Xianglian and cut off our financial route." ”

"Well, yes, let's go to sleep." Bai Zhongbao raised his hand and plugged his ears, out of sight and out of mind, turned around and pretended to be asleep. The screams outside were getting louder and louder, and Brother Dong and Sister Qiu heard the movement and slowly got up from the kang.

Qiu Mei whispered to Brother Dong: "Brother, is it my mother's voice?" ”

Brother Dong got up and rubbed his eyes, climbed to the windowsill and looked outside, the moonlight outside was very hazy, and a figure could be vaguely seen standing at the mouth of the fence, calling hoarsely.

Brother Dong nodded excitedly and said, "That's right, it's my mother, my mother came to pick us up!" ”

"Great!" The two children laughed innocently, but when they walked to the door, they found that the door could not be opened, and Qiu Mei said suspiciously to Brother Dong: "Brother, this door is locked, how can we get out?" ”

"Let us out!" Brother Dong and Sister Qiu slapped on the door frame, even if this Fanglian pretended to be asleep, she couldn't sleep peacefully when she was disturbed by these two little hairy heads.

sat up angrily and kicked Bai Zhongbao, who was still pretending to be asleep

said: "You can sleep with such a loud noise, you are a pig!" ”

Bai Zhongbao sat up in a daze, propped one hand on the edge of the bed, and said: "More things are better than less things, just let the two of them call yes, wait for tomorrow morning, I am thinking of branching out this Bai Xianglian, and those two little hairy heads will be sold quickly." ”

"It's a light word." Fang Lian pursed her lips, and was about to reprimand him in a low voice, when suddenly, a figure broke into the door, but she didn't expect that Bai Xianglian actually turned in directly from the fence.

Fang Lian's face turned pale with fright, she helped her chest, kicked Bai Zhongbao hard, and said, "Everyone has already come to the door, why don't you hurry up and open the door?" Bai Zhongbao nodded, put on his coat, opened the door, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were connected when he saw Bai Susu.

Bai Susu in front of him can be described as murderous, he actually has a hoe and a kitchen knife in his hand, it looks like he is going to kill someone, Bai Zhongbao was startled, took a step back, and said vigilantly: "Xianglian." What are you doing here? ”

Bai Susu hooked the corners of his mouth, walked in with a gloomy face, pointed at Fang Lian with a kitchen knife and said, "Third uncle, third aunt, I have always respected you as elders, but this can't be too much, isn't it?" You first instigated my father, sold Qiu Mei and Brother Dong, and wanted to send me to Wang Yuan's foreign mansion to be a concubine, this abacus is really loud, there is no movement at all, if I don't come back tonight, you sell my son and daughter, who do I talk to? ”

Bai Zhongbao was so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak, Fang Lian's face was pale, curled up in the corner of the bed, and gave Bai Zhongbao a look, Bai Zhongbao stepped forward and smiled, took her hand and said: "Xianglian, if you have something to say, don't use the knife." ”

"If I hadn't barged in today, you'd be like you'd be nothing, wouldn't you?" Bai Susu put down the kitchen knife, but the hoe in his hand refused to put it down, Bai Zhongbao sat aside with a look of shame and almost knelt down for her.

"This thing is not what we did right, but you are only twenty-one years old this year, you can still find a good family to marry, you must not be dragged down by the child, you still have a father to support, don't you?" Fang Lian persuaded on the side, carefully looking at Bai Susu's face, for fear that she would be displeased, so she lifted the kitchen knife.

"Heh, the third aunt is really going to plan for me, isn't it that Ah Shuo lost the gambling money again, and you are trying to get together the money?" Bai Susu said word by word, sat aside, and looked at the two of them with panicked faces.

Bai Ashuo is the only son under the knees of the third aunt and the third uncle, who is a few years younger than her.

On weekdays, he eats and drinks, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and everything, the only thing that can make the second elder happy is to find an errand in the Horse Mansion, I originally wanted to rely on Chen Shimei, a cheap brother-in-law, to have an easy official affair to do, but I didn't expect Chen Shimei to recognize him at all, and sent him aside.
