Chapter 17: The Long-Tongued Woman
At night, the sisters chatted about the old house and the gossip of the long-tongued women in the village, and Bai Wei was angry.
However, Bai Ling is very calm, too lazy to pay attention to these gossips, only when he lives to a certain height, no one dares to talk nonsense behind his back.
The days were repeated every day, and the people in the village didn't know that Bai Ling had returned, for fear that Sanfang would offend the big families in the town, and those who wanted to gossip didn't dare to approach Sanfang.
It was the relationship with the three rooms that was good before, and for various reasons did not come to the door, and it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil.
After a few days of hard work, Bai Ling sold fish every day and went to the Qian Mansion to cook lunch for the old lady, and his life was very fulfilling.
The family digs a lot of herbs every day, and there is no place to store them, so Bai Ling will take about 100 catties to the pharmacy every day to sell, and then go to the market to sell fish.
"Sister-in-law, the fish is tied up for you." Bai Ling handed the picked fish to a woman, and after receiving the money, he continued to shout: "Ten cents for a fish, there are still two left, don't miss it when you pass by!" ”
"You are the daughter of the White Sanshu family?" A shadow shrouded Bai Ling, and the voice was somewhat familiar.
“…… Fat aunt. Bai Ling raised his head and looked at the other party's fat body, his smile a little stiff.
There are two most popular women in Nanshan Village, one is Chen Daniu's daughter-in-law Chen Huang, who is spicy and unreasonable.
Chen Erniu's daughter-in-law is a fat aunt, and the owner of the Li family, who has a broken mouth, can make up something for nothing.
Today, I was bumped into a fish seller by a fat aunt, and I can get a letter when I go back to the old house, maybe I think she can make a lot of money a day, and she has to come to make trouble.
"I'm here to sell eggs, and I've heard from others that your fish stall business is booming......" The fat aunt stared at the fish in the bucket and said loudly.
Bai Ling dealt with two sentences in embarrassment, and after selling the fish, he hurriedly stood up, "Fat aunt, you sell it first, I still have to go home to work, don't talk about it." ”
didn't give the fat aunt a chance to speak, Bai Ling carried the barrel and left.
However, Bai Ling did not enter the space this time, but trotted all the way home.
With the temperament of a fat aunt, after returning to the village, she will definitely preach it everywhere, and maybe she will go to the old mansion to add branches and leaves, and then ......
There is a superb grandmother here, Bai Ling doesn't want the things he just bought to be taken away for nothing.
Bai Ling trotted all the way home, and when he saw that there was no one in the kitchen, he immediately put all the things that might be favored by Mrs. Bai into the space.
When the family went home, they saw Bai Ling sitting on a small bench picking wild vegetables, looking at the gate from time to time, and his expression was not very good-looking.
"Second sister, who messed with you?" Bai Xing asked with big eyes.
The cheeks have flesh, and the complexion is also a lot ruddy, and now Bai Ling is a cute girl who is alive.
"Grandma will come over and make a fuss in a while, you and Xiaoshan will take your mother into the house, don't come out no matter what happens, here are me and your third sister."
Bai Ling picked up the vegetable basin, and when he entered the kitchen, he glanced at Bai Sanshu, who was nervous, and said in a light tone:
"Dad, if you don't dare to resist the milk, don't help for a while. Our family has just had a few good days, and we can't afford my father's foolishness. ”
"Girl, daddy......" Bai Sanshu said painfully, not knowing what to say.
"The second sister is right, Dad can't protect us, and don't drag us back. These days, the family has saved some money, but most of it is earned by the second sister, and she can spend it on whoever she wants. If Dad thinks that all the money you earn should be given to the old house, and you don't have to support your wife and children, I won't stop Dad from going back to the old house to do his filial piety, I just ask Dad to give our mother a few ways to live. Bai Wei said in a stiff tone.
Bai Liu's eyes, who were sewing and mending clothes on the kang in the house, turned red, and she didn't agree with her daughters' words.
But the word filial piety is greater than the sky, Bai Sanshu is a foolish and filial piety, Bai Liu's family has been bullied for so many years, and he has long not known how to resist.
"Xing'er, Xiaoshan, you help your second sister dry the medicinal herbs in the backyard, so that she can go into the house and rest." The Bailiu clan made up her mind to listen to her daughter's words and supported the two daughters in disguise.
Bai Sanshu followed behind the children silently, holding a basket in one hand and walking to the back of the house.
The backyard is a three-room vegetable garden, which was used as a drying ground because it was moved at the wrong time and did not grow vegetables.
Bai Ling quickly cooked a pot of wild vegetable soup, without a grain of rice, and even this time he didn't even add spiritual spring water.
"Second sister, how did you know that the milk was coming?" Although Bai Wei, who came back with the medicinal herbs, was still angry, she also wanted to ask the reason.
"When I was selling fish, I ran into a fat aunt." Bai Ling explained, needless to say, Bai Wei naturally understood.
The Chen family and the concubines are both wonderful, and the Chen Huang family is a blood-sucking leech, and everyone who catches them wants to get some silver.
The fat aunt likes to stir up right and wrong, purely to watch the excitement and not be afraid of big things, and if she doesn't stir up other people's houses, her life will be no fun.
Angrily stuffed two branches into the stove, and stirred the fire stick twice, Bai Wei stood up with a swish, looked at Bai Lingdao, who was stirring the vegetable pot, and said, "Second sister, can't we cut off contact with the old mansion?" I've had enough of these days! ”
Calmly glanced at Bai Wei, who was always angry, Bai Ling was very satisfied, her twin sister knew how to use her brain.
If someone in the family stands on the same front as himself, it will be much more convenient to do things in the future.
Bai Ling smiled lightly and said comfortingly: "Don't be angry, it's not easy to break off the relationship, unless the old mansion does something angry and resentful, so that my father is completely cold to them, and let us take care of it, otherwise the third room will have to be poked in the backbone in the future, and Xiaoshan will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life." ”
"Do we have to suffer a big loss to make the old mansion unable to jump?" Bai Wei frowned, and said with a resentful face: "It's so unfair, why are we bitter masters, and we have to worry about this and that?" ”
"Filial piety." Bai Ling sighed lightly: "Daddy and mother have been pressed by filial piety for half a lifetime, although we are separated by a generation, but if we do it, others will say that my father and mother will not teach their children, and they will be scolded in the end." Spit stars can drown people, we don't care about these, but Daddy and Xiaoshan can't. ”
Bai Wei sat back in frustration, and she didn't know what to think, her eyes became fierce.
Bai Ling didn't notice Bai Wei's abnormality, and after cooking the wild vegetables, he put them in the pot, brought them to the kang table in the east house, and served a big bowl to the whole family.
"Second sister, can't our family afford to eat again?" Bai Xiaoshan poked the wild vegetable soup in the bowl, and found that there was nothing but wild vegetables, so he couldn't help but wrinkle his little face and asked cautiously.
Rubbing Bai Xiaoshan's yellow hair, Bai Ling glanced at Bai Sanshu and said comfortingly: "As long as the milk doesn't come to our house to get something, Xiaoshan will be able to eat." ”
"The milk family is so rich, and there is meat to eat every few days, why do you want to rob our family's food?" Bai Xiaoshan asked ignorantly.
"Xiaoshan, that's your milk, it's only right to come to our house to get something, how can you say it's a robbery!" Bai Sanshu scolded with a straight face.
"Why did Dad say little brother?"
Bai Wei slapped the chopsticks on the table and shouted angrily:
"We have already split up, and the family separation documents have written how much food to give milk every year as filial piety, and usually not a single grain is given, that is also our duty! When we lived together, we did all the work in the three rooms, but they were the ones who had big fish and meat and wore new clothes. Now that we are separated, the milk is still coming to us to loot, we will rob it if we don't give it, and even rob the second sister to sell, which is also what we should share? ”
"I didn't say that." Bai Sanshu lowered his head weakly, took a sip of wild vegetable soup, and only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, and he couldn't swallow it.
