Seeing Bai Qianning so annoyed, the father and daughter, who originally thought she had run away and rummaged through the entire county, were suddenly a little dazed.

"You didn't run?" Zhao Erniu ran to Bai Qianning and asked.

"Who did you say ran away? As soon as the carriage passed, you disappeared after turning a corner, and you said I ran? If I want to run, what are I waiting for you here? ”

Bai Qianning rolled her eyes angrily, and only said: "Okay, get in the car quickly, it's almost dark, if you don't go back, your mother is afraid that something has happened." ”

"You hired this carriage?"

Zhao Erniu stood in front of the carriage with a look of disbelief and asked hurriedly.

"I didn't hire it, could it be that I robbed it?"

Bai Qian condensed for a while, then climbed into the carriage by himself, and sat in the carriage, with a hint of joy on his face, but he looked at Zhao Erniu when he followed the carriage.

Zhao Tiezhu, who was following closely, also wanted to get into the carriage, but Bai Qianning thought that the carriage was too crowded, so he drank it out and sat on the platform outside with the coachman.

Zhao Tiezhu looked at Bai Qianning's ability to hire such a good carriage, thinking that he must have earned money, and his expression that originally wanted to be difficult softened a little.

The coachman had just driven the carriage to set off, and Zhao Tiezhu, who was sitting outside, hurriedly opened the curtain and asked, "White girl, how much silver did you earn today?" Don't blame me for not telling you in advance that if you can't get twenty taels within three days, you should go back to my house and stay there. Take out the money, and I'll count it first. ”

Hey! I really think of myself as a green onion! Bai Qianning rolled her eyes again in her heart, but she was not annoyed on her face, she only reached into her sleeve pocket and took out the ten taels of silver that had been divided a long time ago, handed it to Zhao Tiezhu and said, "All the money earned today is here, you can take a look, and the remaining ten taels will be given to you tomorrow." ”

The reason why she only gave ten taels first was because it was really impossible to earn twenty taels of silver in one day, and second, there were still ten taels of silver owed, and it would be much easier for her to lead them by the nose if she wanted to turn around.

And how did Zhao Tiezhu know this, seeing the silver handed over by Bai Qianning, his mouth opened as if he could stuff a steamed bun, as if he was afraid that the silver would fly, and snatched it away, weighing it and biting it with his teeth, and examined it carefully, and his face was called a joy.

Zhao Erniu, who was sitting on the side, was also squatting by the curtain, wanting to reach out to grab it, but she was so frightened by her father's knife eye that she retracted her hand.

"Dad, this silver is real, right!?"

Zhao Erniu asked.

"Really, really"

Zhao Tiezhu replied, and glanced at the coachman vigilantly, as if he was afraid that someone would rob him of his silver, he stuffed the silver into his arms, and covered it with his two hands like a baby.

Bai Qian stared at the appearance of the father and daughter like two rich slaves, sneered, and then took out the half bag of melon seeds that he had just put away and continued to eat. I have to say that this ancient era with no electricity, no network and no mobile phone is really boring, and eating melon seeds can barely be regarded as an amateur pastime to pass the time.

Zhao Tiezhu, who was still immersed in the joy of getting the silver, listened to the sound of snorting melon seeds, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Have you earned more than this silver?" Where did the money come from to hire a carriage and buy melon seeds? ”

Hearing this, Bai Qianning finally understood what it means to have a lack of heart! Does this mean that no matter how much she earns today, she has to hand it over as it is?

"Heh......" Bai Qianning rolled his eyes, spit out the melon seed shell in his mouth into the garbage paper bag prepared in advance, and then raised his head and said, "I said, what are you anxious about?" Since I can earn you ten taels of silver in one day, and I will earn ten taels tomorrow, if I don't keep a few pieces of silver, you can still go home in such a good carriage? Or I'll give you all the money, and you'll pay for the car in a moment? By the way, you also gave the silver you owed to Uncle Qin when you came. ”

"Why, why? You called the carriage yourself. ”

Zhao Erniu immediately retorted, for fear that the long legs of the silver she had just received would fly away.

Seeing her like this, Bai Qianning wanted to laugh inexplicably, and said while snorting melon seeds: "So, if you don't want to spend money, shut up for me, and say that you will pay it off within three days, what are you in a hurry?" ”

After Bai Qianning finished speaking, he began to rattle the melon seeds by himself, and he didn't want to deal with this shameless father and daughter at all. In her heart, she was secretly glad, fortunately, she had a heart and stuffed the bamboo basket into the space in advance, otherwise the rice and noodles she had just bought would have been scavenged by the father and daughter.

After knocking all the way to the melon seeds, Bai Qianning didn't say a word, and saw that it was completely dark, and the carriage drove into the village.

Bai Qianning stretched out her hand and lifted the curtain to look out of the window, stopped the coachman, and then turned her head to look at the father and daughter:

"Alright, get out of the car! How? Do you want me to let the coachman take you to your doorstep? ”

After speaking, Bai Qianning glanced at Zhao Tiezhu with disdain, and he didn't know how many times he took out the silver to count it along the way, and it was really eye-catching.

Hearing Bai Qianning say this, Zhao Tiezhu was also anxious to go home, carrying so much silver, if he lost it, he would not be distressed to death. It's just that......

This girl still owes him ten taels of silver, what if he runs away while he is going home, after thinking about it, Zhao Tiezhu jumped out of the carriage and quickly stopped Zhao Erniu, who was going to follow home, and reminded her in a low voice: "You follow her back first, keep it, don't let people run away." ”

Zhao Erniu immediately understood: "Got it, Dad, don't worry, she still owes us ten taels of silver, how can she let her run away!" ”

Scold! Bai Qianning sneered, and sure enough, he still didn't believe her.

After thinking about it, she pretended to be annoyed and asked, "If I wanted to run, I would have run long ago, and I still have to wait until now." If you don't worry, you can follow, but this carriage is my own money, and if you want to follow me, get out of the carriage and follow me. ”

"How do you speak?"

Zhao Erniu was angry and wanted to straighten up, but her head hit the roof of the car and screamed in pain.

Zhao Tiezhu, who was standing outside the carriage and was like an arrow, had no heart to care about this, and ordered: "If she asks you to get off the car, you will get off, don't let people go." ”

After saying that, he ran in the direction of his own house.

Zhao Erniu heard her father say this, and she didn't bother to argue, she glared at Bai Qianning viciously, and jumped out of the carriage.

Seeing that the people went down, Bai Qianning commanded the coachman to drive the carriage slowly towards Zhan Qianche's house, while taking out the bamboo basket from the space, and picking some fruits from the space by the way, and grabbed a few handfuls of ginger and garlic out and put them in the basket. At that time, if Zhan Qianche asked and only said that he would buy it with the money he earned, he would not arouse suspicion.

As soon as the carriage drove to the gate of the small courtyard, Bai Qianning heard the voice of Xiaodouding.

"Daddy, is my mother back?"

Xiao Douding asked, grabbed Zhan Qianche's hand and ran into the yard.

Zhan Qianche saw that Zhao Erniu was already standing next to the car, so he nodded, picked up Xiaodouding with one hand and walked out of the courtyard.

At this time, Bai Qianning had also gotten out of the carriage and began to count the money for the coachman, the twenty-five dollars of silver that had been discussed, Bai Qianning simply gave thirty dollars, and handed an apple to the coachman, politely, and then carried the bamboo basket behind him and walked towards Xiaodouding.

Zhao Erniu saw the bamboo basket that appeared inexplicably on Bai Qianning's back, and there were some doubts on her face, but she only thought that she was careless and didn't pay attention, besides, Bai Qianning had already told them very clearly, it would all be settled tomorrow, and she had no reason to say anything, so she just stomped her feet in the cold wind with her arms in the cold wind.

Bai Qianning didn't have the heart to take care of her at all, took Xiaodouding from Zhan Qianche's arms, took a sip on her face, and asked affectionately: "I don't see you this day, do you miss your mother?" ”

"Yes! Why did my mother go for so long? I thought my mother didn't want me anymore. ”

Xiao Douding leaned on Bai Qianning's arms for a while, and then smiled brightly, a pair of small arms tightened Bai Qianning's neck mushroom, and he was reluctant to let go for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Bai Qian's heart became softer and softer, and he raised his head with a light smile and bumped into Zhan Qianche's eyes.

Zhan Qianche's eyes were dark, but in the night, he seemed to have a little tenderness and concern, his thin lips opened slightly, he looked at Bai Qianning and asked, "Is it going well here?" The father and daughter of the Zhao family didn't embarrass you, right? ”

Listening to this, Bai Qianning only felt that her heart skipped a beat. Is he caring about me? Does he feel a little different from me in his heart?
