Chapter 30: The Proposed Woman Comes to the Door
Bai Qiuluo watched Old Man Bai call the door, reached out and pulled Chen's hand, and motioned for her to go back to the house with her.
The mother and daughter returned to the house, closed the door and talked.
"What can I do about this, your uncle gambled all the money, fifty taels, where can we get so much money." Chen's face turned pale and he trembled as he spoke.
Bai Qiuluo hurriedly grabbed her hand and reassured: "Mother, don't worry, this money was gambled by the uncle, and it should be his idea, it has nothing to do with us." ”
"How can it be okay...... Chen was about to cry, and said: "We live together as a family, and this money is also made by the family, we haven't made a lot of money over the years, and the money your father has earned is also in your grandmother, and I don't know how much is still in hand, what if you can't get the money." ”
"It's okay mother, this money was spent by the uncle, and when the time comes, we will arrest people and arrest him, we are not afraid. And my grandmother has come back, my grandmother cares about the money, she loves her uncle so much, she will definitely take the money out. Bai Qiuluo was busy persuading.
Bai Qiuluo knew that her grandmother was partial to Bai Zichao, so she wasn't too worried.
But Chen's face was still ugly, and he looked like the sky was about to fall.
At noon that day, the old lady came back, the old man told her about the money, the old lady cried and scolded for a while before it stopped, of course, there was no good face for Chen's daughter-in-law, Bai Zixin and Chen were accustomed to this, and they didn't care.
The night was deep, and Bai Qiuluo woke up from his sleep, gasping roughly.
She just had a nightmare, falling into the nightmare of the original owner being knocked to death, and she couldn't wake up.
I finally broke free from the dream, and now my clothes were soaked with sweat.
After taking a breath, Bai Qiuluo felt uncomfortable with being wet, so she took clean water and wiped her body, and then she didn't light the lamp, and lay on the window at the head of the bed to breathe.
I was thinking about how to deal with Li Chaoran's debt collection.
There was a soft sound of the door opening from the upper room, and Bai Qiuluo's eyes stared, and she saw a sneaky figure coming out of it and heading towards her uncle's house.
Bai Qiuluo's heart moved, and he tiptoed to the window outside the uncle's house, and lay there eavesdropping.
There was no light in the room, but the muffled voice was faintly heard.
"Mother, you must save your son, mother, my son is really in trouble this time, Steward Li said, if you can't pay back the money, you will arrest your son and go to jail, I don't want to go to jail, mother." Bai Zichao's voice was full of crying and pleading.
Bai Qiuluo pursed his lips with disdain, and he could almost imagine the appearance of Bai Zichao kneeling on the ground and hugging his thighs inside.
"You kill a thousand knives, I've only been gone for a few days, and you have committed such a big thing for me, that's twenty-five taels of silver, your mother and I have only picked more than half of it over the years, you are trying to force me to death, my coffin is not enough to fill your hole."
The old lady's voice came from the house, and there was a muffled snort of Bai Zichao, as if the old lady had beaten him.
Bai Qiuluo couldn't help but laugh, and the old woman knew that she was slamming the door.
"Mother, you must think of ideas, I promise you, after this threshold, I will never gamble again, and I will stay by your side in the future to serve you and honor you."
"You say that every time, which time does it take it seriously."
"Mother, this time it's serious, it's serious."
Bai Zichao kept pleading inside, but the old lady did not speak, and the room suddenly fell silent.
Bai Qiuluo stood for a while, there was no movement inside, and she planned to leave.
However, at this moment, the old lady in the house spoke.
"Over the years, your brothers have died and left, and you and the third child are left in the family. The third child is willing to do it, but he doesn't have any ability, and he can't count on these brothers and sisters in the family, but there is still a way to get money now, it depends on whether you can get things done. ”
"Mother, what kind of method, I will definitely be able to do it." Bai Zichao said in surprise.
"Didn't I want to betrothal the girl from the third family, but then the third family said that they wanted to keep her for two more years, and if they weren't in a hurry, it didn't work out, you remember. That girl I think is also a mourning star, if she hadn't made such a fuss, you want to find a mother-in-law for this girl, and the marriage will be done, and the bride price will add up, plus the money in my hand, it will be enough to pay it back. ”
As soon as the old lady's words came out, Bai Qiuluo's heart suddenly cooled.
The old lady in her memory has always been partial to Bai Zichao, but it is not very bad for her, but she didn't expect that she would come up with this way to wipe Bai Zichao's buttocks, and she only felt chills in her heart for a while.
When Bai Zichao heard the old lady say this, he remembered that incident, he was really dizzy, and he forgot about it, so he leaned into the old lady's ear and said it.
The old lady was also taken aback, "What you said is true?" Can you really give so many silver taels? But if you let your dad know about it, he'll kill you. ”
"Mother, it's all about getting married anyway, let's marry her for more money, besides, after marrying, she will be the person over there, and she will definitely take good care of her over there, and she won't be easily called back." Bai Zi said hatefully.
He has suffered a lot from Bai Qiuluo these days, and now that he wants to marry Bai Qiuluo for money, he naturally has to make the best use of it.
"Okay, if you are sure about this, my mother will support you." Wang thought for a moment and said.
Outside the house, Bai Qiuluo's heart was cold, this eavesdropping really made her completely see the ugliness of human nature, but these two people are still her nominal relatives now.
The mother and son talked for a while and discussed the details, and then the old lady returned to the house.
Bai Qiuluo didn't dare to say anything in the corner, and when there was no movement in the upper room and Bai Zichao's room, she cautiously returned to her room.
Lying on the bed, Bai Qiuluo's head was buzzing, her heart was panicked and confused, and she tried her best to calm herself down and think of countermeasures.
She knew that Bai Zichao's move towards them was tantamount to selling her, and Bai Zichao said it in a low voice later, so she didn't hear what was going on with the one he sold her for a higher price.
But no matter what, she can't do what they want, and she has to find a way to save herself.
She didn't want to travel over by herself, and before she had a good life, she would have to go to another family and be the wife of a strange man, which would be a nightmare for her.
In the afternoon of the second day when Bai Qiuluo heard the conversation between the two, Bai Zichao came to the door with a suitor.
Bai Zichao's first cut and then played, obviously made the old man unhappy, the old man sat on the chair with a calm face, the whole upper room was silent, and the air pressure was frighteningly low.
Bai Qiuluo sat behind Bai Zixin, his hands crossed and clasped together, silently suppressing the tension in his heart.
She knew that Bai Zichao would definitely act as soon as possible, but she didn't expect that Bai Zichao's movements would be so fast, so fast that she was completely unprepared.
"You must be tired from coming from afar, why don't you go have some snacks first, and then talk about getting married later, how about it?" The old man saw Chen walking to the door, nodded at him slightly, and then spoke.
The people who came to greet the relatives also saw that the atmosphere of the house was not too good, so the man at the head nodded and smiled: "That's really annoying old man." ”
As she spoke, she beckoned the people who came with her to follow Chen out.
After everyone went out, the old man knocked on Bai Zichao's back with a cane, lowered his voice and roared: "Evil animal, what are you doing?" ”
Bai Zichao snorted, he was noisy but afraid of bad things, so he could only say with a face full of grievances: "Dad, I just found a mother-in-law for my niece, what did I do wrong." ”
"Luoluo is our daughter, even if we want to find her in-law's family, it is our parents' business, and it is directly decided by the eldest brother who has never crossed our parents, and Luoluo is still young, and the injuries on her body are not healed, I don't plan to let her marry so soon." Bai Zixin on the side said with a cold face.
When Bai Qiuluo heard this, he only felt a slight warmth in his heart, no matter what, Bai Zi still cared about her daughter in confidence.
At least since she crossed over, Bai Zixin has always protected her.
Bai Zichao was afraid of the old man, but he was not afraid of Bai Zixin, he glared at Bai Zixin with a tiger face, and said: "It's just a money-losing goods, and sooner or later he will get married, what's the difference between sooner or later?" Besides, she is a mourning star, how much trouble she has caused to her family, and it is better to marry early and return the family to peace and tranquility. ”
"You ......" Bai Zixin heard Bai Zichao say this, and his face turned red and he was about to refute.
Bai Qiuluo couldn't help but grab his hand, at this time, the conflict with Bai Zichao could not solve the matter, and he could not take advantage, it was not a wise move.
Sure enough, Bai Qiuluo heard the old man say: "Third child, if you have something to say, there are still people outside." ”
Bai Zichao was so angry that his chest couldn't stop rising and falling, staring at Bai Zichao deadly, but he didn't say anything after all.
Seeing this, Bai Qiuluo leaned into his ear and said, "Dad, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry, grandpa and grandma feel sorry for me and will make decisions for me." ”
Bai Qiuluo added the old lady very against her will, in fact, she knew in her heart that if the old man regarded her as a granddaughter fairly, then the old lady was a lord who favored Bai Zichao, and this marriage was not her idea.
The voice was soft, but it was clear to everyone in the quiet room.
Bai Zixin looked at Bai Qiuluo, his eyes were full of distress, reluctance and depression, and his daughter couldn't protect him, which made Bai Zixin happy.
Seeing that she was so sensible, the old man's eyes softened for a moment, and he looked at Bai Zichao and asked, "What kind of person is the other party, have you inquired clearly?" ”
Bai Zichao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "That's not it, the other party is also a farmer, but the family is much better than ours, and their population is small, there is only one child in the family, and they will marry in the past, and they will be blessed to keep it......"
As if he was afraid that the old man would not believe it, Bai Zichao said with a lotus tongue, that posture is really more dedicated than the matchmaker.
Bai Qiuluo just wanted to sneer when he looked at it, it was nice to say, but what he did was not a human business, with the intention of marrying her in exchange for money, how good could the other party's family be? Bai Zichao sold her this time in the name of marriage, what else could there be?
If she really married, the rest of her life would be ruined, and she would never allow this to happen.
Bai Qiuluo clenched his fists and thought, just waiting for the right time to mess up this family business.
