Chapter 40
Listening to the slap from the village chief, Bai Ling felt sorry for him.
"Uncle the village chief is not in a hurry." Bai Ling grabbed the village chief's sleeve and said with a smile: "It's dark this day, and you can't go to the county if you write." If Brother Hongyun is not busy, please also ask Brother Hongyun to accompany me to the county, you also know that my home is inconvenient, you must help Sanfang this favor! ”
"Cheng, then you come early tomorrow, let your brother Hongyun go directly to the county seat, the regeneration of the province, don't worry about it." The village chief said in a loud voice.
"Old Chen, I'm tired of you today, wait for the girl to pour out the new food and send it to you." Bai Ling only discovered today that Chen Lao also has foodie attributes.
Tossed Chen Lao today, but Chen Lao refused to accept the silver for the consultation, just a coarse tea and light meal, which was not enough to express his gratitude.
"Then I'll wait, girl, if you don't count, I'll come to your house and ask for it." Chen Lao said with a smile, and beckoned the medicine boy to sit on the ox cart.
Chen Lao is a doctor in the town, and he has Tongjitang as a guarantee, so he is not afraid that he will not be able to go back even if it is dark.
The village chief drank a little high, so Chen Lao asked Bai Hongyun to send the village chief home first, and the third room of the province had a headache because of this.
After sending off the guests, Bai Ling returned to the east house, and smelled the sour smell, Bai Wei was squatting on the kang and wiping the place where Bai Sanshu had vomited.
"Mother, you don't have to persuade your father too deliberately. Today's incident made my father see the people on the other side of the old mansion clearly, although he would feel uncomfortable, but it was also a good thing, and he was deceived into being a cow and a horse in the future, and he had to be beaten and scolded. Bai Ling looked at Bai Sanshu, who was drunk and asleep, and said to Bai Liu.
"My mother also knows this reason, but she feels sorry for your father." Bai Liu said with tears in his eyes.
"Mother, don't cry, those people in the old house are like leeches, it's good to get rid of them early. In the future, let's live a good life, and my father will save himself from being angry again, so he should be happy. Before Bai Wei went out with the basin, she beckoned the two little ones and said, "Come with us to the Westinghouse to sleep today, and let's build new futons." ”
"Great, get a new quilt!" Bai Xiaoshan clapped his hands happily.
"Don't make a noise, wake up Dad." Bai Xing hurriedly covered Bai Xiaoshan's mouth and pulled him out of the house.
Bai Ling hugged a futon on the kang, closed the door and went back to the West House.
Bai Liushi blew the lamp on the kang, and didn't see the tears flowing from the corners of Bai Sanshu's eyes, so he thoughtfully tucked the corners of the quilt for Bai Sanshu, and then folded his clothes and lay down.
Let's say that on the side of the old house, after the village chief warned Mrs. Bai and the others, he couldn't help them, so he went to the third room.
The villagers were also embarrassed to continue watching the excitement, so they left one after another.
Bai Dashu's plan failed, but the silver promised to the doctor could not be less, otherwise the matter would not be over.
After only his family was left, Bai Qi's family had already woken up, and under Bai Ershu's vicious look, he was helped back to the house by Bai Mei, crying loudly.
"Mother and eldest brother, should you give me an explanation!" Bai Ershu opened gloomily, and his eyes were full of blood.
"When your daughter-in-law gave birth, I was still in the town, and then you asked people to talk to the past, so I invited a doctor to come to the door, and I didn't handle other things, where do you know what's going on." Bai Dashu plucked himself clean with a word, and also alluded to Bai Ershu's lack of gratitude.
"I don't know, when your daughter-in-law was confined, she was served by the third family, and the medicine was also fried by the Liu family." Mrs. Bai shook her head vigorously, looking like she was very innocent.
Bai Ershu looked at the two of them, and the blood under his eyes did not fade, but was blocked by the drooping eyelids. Seeing that Bai Ershu was silent, after Mrs. Bai's mother and son exchanged glances, Mrs. Bai scolded hatefully, "It must be the hands and feet of the Liu family's cheap goods, no wonder Bai Wei's cheap girl had an accident later, she has the money to hire a doctor!" Hum! This unconscionable slut, God will accept her sooner or later. ”
Bai Dashu didn't make a sound, he has always pretended to be a good person at home, and he will only use silence to express his attitude.
"Second brother, we don't have any evidence for this, even if we sue the official, we won't win. When we find an opportunity, we will settle accounts with them. The most important thing now is that the Qi family can't give birth, do you think it's okay to divorce her, or to take a small one to enter the door? There is a girl in the second room, this is going to be out of business! Mrs. Bai patted her thigh, looking distressed.
"What my mother said is, there is no one with a handle, who do you expect when you get old?" Bai Dashu spoke up.
The mother and son were discussing the heir in the house, and no one noticed that Bai Mei was listening to the corner outside, covering her mouth and quietly running back to Bai Qi's house.
After listening to his daughter's words, Bai Qi's family almost couldn't get up in one breath, but there was no place to vent his hatred.
"Sanfang, my Qi clan and you are not finished!" After Bai Qi finished speaking, there was unwillingness and hatred on his face, and he grabbed Bai Mei's hand and said, "Meizi! Mother is the only one left, if your father accepts the small, there will be no place for our mother in this house, you must fight, or our mother will be finished! ”
Bai Mei shrunk her neck in fear, and nodded under Bai Qi's gaze that wanted to eat people.
Early in the morning of the second day, Bai Hongyun drove the ox cart to the third room, and happened to meet Bai Ling, who was about to go out.
"Brother Hongyun is early." Bai Ling smiled and said hello.
Today's Bai Ling tied two braids with a head rope, and he was wearing muslin clothes, which were changed by the clothes of the people in the Qian Mansion.
"Brother Hongyun eats steamed buns, and my second sister makes them delicious." Bai Wei wrapped a few buns in a white cloth, handed them to Bai Hongyun, and handed two bamboo tubes to Bai Ling, "Second sister, don't worry, I'll stay at home today to see who dares to come to the door to bully people." ”
"You don't have to stay at home, you can send the two fish I prepared to the milk later, don't tell them anything, just do what you have to do." Bai Ling glanced at Bai Sanshu who was weaving a straw curtain, winked at Bai Wei, and lowered his voice: "Anyway, there is no silver at home, as long as our family is fine, I am not afraid of them making trouble." ”
"Yes, I know." Bai Wei nodded, waved at Bai Ling, and then took the vegetable basket to the foot of the mountain.
There are not many honeysuckle flowers in this season, and it is enough to pick some for your own use, which is also what Bai Ling means.
After arriving in the town, Bai Ling proposed to leave the ox cart in the carriage and horse shop, and the two of them made a carriage to go to the county seat.
Bai Hongyun is accompanied to do things, and all the expenses are naturally from Bai Ling.
Bai Hongyun often runs errands for the county, but he has a shallow friendship with the people in the county government, and he quickly completed the paperwork.
"It's hard work, big brother, we are still in a hurry to go back to the village, and this little bit of thought is reserved for the eldest brother to drink tea." Bai Ling stuffed two coins of silver to the servant, thinking that it would be good to spend money to make a familiar face.
The official didn't expect a peasant girl to be so generous, so he looked at Bai Ling carefully, turned around and patted Bai Hongyun's shoulder and said: "Your cousin is good, if you have anything in the future, you will come to Brother Wuzi, you can't do big things, you can still run errands with a trick." ”
"Thank you, Brother Wuzi." Bai Ling hurriedly thanked him.
After finishing his business, Bai Ling took Bai Hongyun to a roadside stall to eat wontons, a bowl of five cents is a thin skin and big filling, of course, it can't be pure meat.
Bai Hongyun was embarrassed to eat more, so he asked for two steamed buns to fill his stomach.
"Bai Ling, why did you give so much silver? For such a trivial matter in your family, it is a lot to give a dozen copper plates. After Bai Hongyun finished eating, he couldn't help but say.
"Brother Hongyun, those bad relatives in our family won't just be done. In the future, if you have someone you know in the county office, maybe you will be able to use it at any time, and it will be worth spending some silver. Bai Ling explained half of the reason, and did not say anything about his plan to develop in the county.
Bai Hongyun was silent, and glanced at his distant cousin distressedly, and was glad that his family did not have so many bad things.
