Chapter 338: Life is short

Bai Chuanbai sat on the stool in the east room, crying in front of Old Man Bai, and now when he heard Bai Shao's call, he was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

It was the old man Bai, who coughed twice and raised his voice in response, "It's the fifth sister...... This Bai family is also your home, no one will not welcome you, don't listen to your milk, she is old and roundabout. ”

In the Shilipu dialect, it means that a person is old and has a bad brain.

Bai Shao was indeed a little angry with Liu's approach, and he really wanted to leave here.

But now, when she heard Old Man Bai's somewhat weak voice and the series of coughs that followed, she couldn't help but turn her head and leave.

"You old man, who do you say is detoured, you are detoured......" Liu stood in the courtyard and scolded Old Man Bai.

Bai Shao and Wu glanced at each other, and the two of them avoided Liu, entered the hall, and then turned into the east house.

In the memory of that year, the Bai family's house was good in Shilipu, at least it was a blue brick house, especially the three main houses, which were quite atmospheric and sturdy, which was extraordinarily broad.

Now, when Bai Shao saw the Bai Mansion in Xieyang County, the Gu Mansion in Yanjing, and the Zhenguo Mansion, and then returned to the Bai family, she suddenly felt that the east house in front of her was a little cramped, a little messy, and a little too dark.

Although the house is still made of blue bricks and tiles, as people move, a thick layer of clay has already condensed on the ground, which is uneven and uneven, and it is quite awkward to walk.

The cage in the corner of the room was also untidy, and the lid was crookedly opened, revealing patched clothes and old items.

Even the small bench where Shirakawa Kashiwa was sitting had rotted a corner because of the long time, and it was a little crooked and uneven, so he could only sit against the wall so as not to fall.

This Bai family...... Look at this, it looks like life is worse than before.

Bai Shao couldn't help but sigh, helped Wu to the bed, saluted the old man Bai who was lying on the bed, and said softly, "Bai Shao has seen grandpa." ”

"Hey, good boy...... Good boy......" Old man Bai smiled at Bai Shao, raised his much thinner arm, and wanted to pat Bai Shao's hand, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Bai Shao's low-key but delicate clothes, as well as her admirable nobility, and retracted his arm again, and smiled at the fifth granddaughter and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, and I can still look at you again in my lifetime, it's good, it's good." ”

"Master......" Bai Shao's nose was a little sour, "What are you talking about, let's see if you are sick, you can live to eighty." ”

"Ahem." Old Man Bai covered his mouth and coughed twice, before he raised his head and said with a wry smile, "It's useless, it's useless, I know my body myself, it can be regarded as ruined in the past two years, and it can't be cured at all, and I don't want to spend that unjust money, so it's good." ”

In the Shilipu dialect, relying on it means holding on to it and not curing the disease.

"Dad, why do you rely on it, if you are sick, you can cure it." Bai Chuanbai's distressed tears were pouring out, "Da Chun Niang didn't give you money?" This year, at least 100 taels of silver, is not enough for you to eat and heal. ”

"Given...... Given, I know, you have a good heart, let Da Chun Niang give me money every year, but ah, something happened to this Da Chun family, Da Chun Niang didn't know what, and someone spread bad news, Da Chun's father beat her in a fit of anger, and the shop couldn't be opened. After that, there will be no money in the family......" Old Man Bai panted and told Bai Chuanbai what happened back then.

"My hard-working father......" Bai Chuanbai covered his face guiltily and cried bitterly.

I didn't expect to make thousands of calculations, but I still missed how the old couple should live after the collapse of Shiweitian.

Bai Shao was also a little sad at first, but then she came back to her senses and figured out that something was wrong, so she asked, "Master, this is not right, Shi Weitian can give you and milk at least one hundred taels of silver every year, this one hundred taels of silver, even if you two eat big fish and meat, it is enough, how can there be no extra money?" ”

"Ah...... Yes...... That's because not long after you left, something happened to Dachun's family. Old Man Bai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head and said in a snort.

"Master, what you said is not right, I came back in person three years ago, and the food is still booming, even if something happens immediately after I leave, you and your grandmother have at least two or three hundred taels of silver in their hands, how can it not be enough for you to spend, and even look down on the state of illness?" Seeing that Old Man Bai was lying at this time, Bai Shao was angry and opened his mouth to expose Old Man Bai's lies.

"This ......," a trace of sweat appeared on the thin skinny face of the old man Bai, "this ...... This ......"

"What's this, master, you have something to say, tell us everything, and we can also take money to treat your illness." Bai Shao deliberately made a look of indifference and said.

Old Man Bai looked at her twice, and snorted for a moment, but still couldn't speak.

At this moment, Liu, who was on the side, smashed the teacup in his hand on the table with some displeasure, and said angrily, "What, our money, what do we want to use, the pension money you give us, don't care when we can spend it?" ”

This is a bit unreasonable, but it is very in line with Liu's temperament, so Bai Shao didn't care, just smiled, and said indifferently, "Since Grandma said so, then Daddy, let's go back, Grandma and Grandma can do whatever they want, since those of us who are children and grandchildren have no right to know, then there is no obligation to treat Grandma, Grandma's illness, Grandma should find a way by herself as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, he pulled Wu and was about to go out.

Liu's face immediately elongated, and he pointed at Bai Shao is roar, "What's the matter?" What the hell are you talking about? You are so rich now, you don't know a few hundred taels of silver for a piece of clothing, and now your father is sick and is going to die, you say you don't care? Are you so ruthless? The wolf-hearted and dog-lunged shriveled calf thing, I knew that I wouldn't give you food back then, starved you to death early, and I could save some rations for the family, but now you are disgusting with me, angry with me, you black-hearted little slut. ”

"Niang......" Wu had been silent before, but now as soon as he heard Bai Shao being scolded, he immediately stood in front of Bai Shao, stretched out his hands to protect her, and argued with Liu, "What my mother said is unreasonable, the food I fed Shao'er back then, it was all saved from my mouth, and my mother didn't give her anything." ”

"You ......" Liu was choked for a moment, "You didn't eat my family's food, so if I don't give you food, where do you have food to feed her?" ”

It's a bit of a raise, and it's not interesting to talk about it anymore.

Bai Shao pressed Wu's hand, pulled her behind him, and said to Old Man Bai very calmly, "Don't you really plan to say it?" Is this money for my uncle or for my fourth uncle? ”

"You...... How do you know? When the old man Bai heard this, he looked up at Bai Shao in surprise.

Bai Shao smiled but did not speak.

Only then did Old Man Bai know that he had been deceived, and he immediately lowered his head helplessly, and sighed weakly, "Hey...... The fifth sister is still so smart......"

"Dad......" Bai Chuanbai also woke up, walked out of the full distress, and regained the ability to think, "Dad, the money is for you and your mother to support the elderly, why did you give it away?" Even if you give it out, your family has not had a good time in the past two years, and you are sick like this, so they didn't come to see you? ”

"Ah...... I just feel sorry for the child......" Old Man Bai smiled bitterly, "Your eldest brother has not had a good time these years, with a child, and he didn't find a daughter-in-law, and then he lived with the Qian general, the family is having a difficult time, I am a father and sees that the child is not doing well, can I not care?" So I gave them a little bit of the money you gave me, but I didn't expect it...... Changshan, this kid, actually gambled, and the more he gambled, the more powerful he became, and all the money I gave them was used to fill the gambling hole. The boss came to me again...... I can't help but give it, but it ......."

As a result, the old couple went hungry instead.

It's good if the food continues to operate, no matter what, there is a dividend every year, which is enough for Old Man Bai and the Liu family to be fed and clothed.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Old Man Bai and the Liu family dared to give most of the money to the Bai Chuanqiang family, and they didn't save much.

However, who would have thought that the food was the sky, the dividend money was gone, and the old man Bai and the Liu family suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation.

Immediately afterwards, Old Man Bai fell ill, and he wanted to ask his eldest son for some money to treat the disease, but the Qian family didn't give him a penny.

Not only that, because she hated Old Man Bai for dipping her in the pig cage, she actually hid it from Bai Chuanqiang and drove the two old men out alive.

In this way, when he had no money to treat the disease and was angry and anxious, Old Man Bai couldn't afford to get sick.

Now I have been lying on the sickbed for more than a year.

The old man, who was originally quite healthy, has almost atrophied his body muscles because he often does not exercise, and now he can't get up even when he thinks about it.

Moreover, according to Bai Shao's little medical observation from Linglong, although this old man Bai can still speak and breathe now, if he says that he swallows, it really won't be a thing that is very far away.

In other words, Old Man Bai has a ...... life and a better user experience.
