Chapter 414: Adopted Son
Knowing Bai Cao'er's thoughts, Xu Wenlan didn't know what to say.
It's not that there are no family members in this world, but like Second Uncle Bai's family, it's embarrassing.
How much trauma did her previous life leave for Bai Cao'er, so that as soon as she heard that her parents were going to adopt a son, she immediately began to plan for her future.
A little girl who is only fifteen years old is already so precocious.
Seeing that Xu Wenlan didn't speak, Bai Cao'er smiled instead: "Think I'm too gloomy?" You're trying to persuade me to tell my dad what I think, are you? Do you think I'm going to my dad crying and shouting that I don't want my brother - it's useful?! My father thought about his son for half his life, and whoever stopped him from having a son would be his enemy. Finally, he hurts me a little more now than before, but believe it or not, as long as I go and say that I can't adopt Chen An, he can beat me immediately? ”
Tilting her head, Bai Cao'er smiled bitterly: "I also think, if I adopt a son, will my mother be better off?" If I have a son who can really make my mother's life easier, then why should I stop it? ”
"Grass ......"
"Don't say it, Wen Lan, I'm different from you, you are not surnamed Bai ...... after all" Bai Cao'er said in a low voice, her eyes were no longer bright: "Only I know how my mother survived those years and how much she suffered...... I feel sorry for my mother - that's fine, I'm fifteen, I'm going to stay in another family, and I'm married, and now that they've adopted their son, they won't care about me anymore, I want to do whatever I want......"
"But guess what?" Raising her eyebrows, looking at Xu Wenlan, Bai Cao'er smiled, and her eyes, which had already dimmed, suddenly brightened a little brighter: "Even if they want me to marry, I don't want to marry like this!" Wen Lan, I want to imagine you, choose who to marry. Like you, you have money, no matter what you want to do, no one stands in your way! In fact, I can figure it out, these days, as long as you have money in your hands, whether you are recruiting a son-in-law or marrying, you are stubborn! Look at my aunt, what is it like for her to marry into the Guo family? Outsiders may still envy the Guo family for being rich, but we all know what kind of life she lives - if she was rich, what would it be? ”
Xu Wenlan wanted to say that Bai Cao'er wanted to be crooked, but after thinking about it, she didn't know what to say. Is the grass trying to be crooked? But this world has always been realistic, if White Lotus is rich and someone is behind her, how dare Guo Xiaoliu marry any noble concubine? This is still a man from a slave background!
Pursing her lips, Xu Wenlan finally said: "It's no problem if you want to do it with me, but Cao'er, although we are sisters, I want to say ugly things ahead, sisters are sisters, business is business, do you want to follow me to do business, do you want to buy shares?" Or do you have to work for me — ah, I mean work. ”
With her eyes flickering, Bai Cao'er gritted her teeth and said, "Naturally, it's a share, one hundred taels of silver!" ”
Xu Wenlan was taken aback.
She doesn't think a hundred taels of silver is too much now, but this is white grass! In the past two years, her family has only been doing better, but she hasn't bought a house or land, if she really has a hundred taels, why wouldn't Second Uncle Bai hurry up to buy land?
"This money ......"
"You don't care where the money comes from, you just say that the money can't be made? How many shares can I hold? ”
It's really a serious business-talking.
Xu Wenlan also became serious: "If you want to say that this business is different from North Sugar, it was the Guo Buluo family who started to invest in the North Sugar business, so I didn't have much capital, but now the wool thread business is different, because I don't want to cooperate with the Guo Buluo family, so the initial investment will not be less." You also heard me say that I am going to build a hundred spinning machines. With a spinning machine, you have to buy wool, and another one, this wool is spun out of its true color, and if you want to sell it well, you have to dye it, that is, you have to open a dyeing room, and then this is another expense. There is also labor, if you want to produce in large quantities, it is necessary to hire people, according to my estimates, the initial investment in this business will cost two thousand taels of silver......"
Before Xu Wenlan finished speaking, Bai Cao'er had already gritted her teeth and said, "Zhong, then count me as half a share." Also, you are also invited to the left and right, count me in! Although I have never spun thread, I can embroider and learn to spin faster than others. ”
was said to be happy by Bai Cao'er, but Bai Cao'er was very serious: "I mean really, I will go back to Heishui with you to work." ”
Is this not even wanting to stay at home?
Xu Wenlan opened the middle scripture, but felt a little embarrassed, but it happened that Bai Shengwen came out of the back hall, which made Xu Wenlan feel relieved.
Signaling with his eyes, Xu Wenlan's eyes drifted to Bai Cao'er, wanting Bai Shengwen to persuade Bai Cao'er.
Bai Shengwen just smiled and didn't speak.
The three of them stood opposite each other, speechless for a while, only heard the sound of footsteps rushing in, Bai Yinglu ran in, and before he could see the situation in the house, he was already anxious to shout: "Your second aunt agreed!" Shengwen, hurry, hurry, help me and Chen An talk to ......"
After a pause, he saw Bai Cao'er's face turn pale: "What's wrong with Cao'er?" Is it cold? ”
only asked, and before Cao'er could answer, he had already said excitedly: "It's good this time, you want to have a younger brother!" This time, who dares to say that I don't have a son to support the elderly, you and your mother will have to rely on in the future! ”
Bai Cao'er didn't make a sound, her face was cold.
"Second uncle, let's see the second aunt first!" Turning around, Bai Shengwen shouted, "Cao'er is also here." ”
When Xu Wenlan glanced at him, Bai Shengwen only said lightly: "They have to solve the knot by themselves." ”
Yes, the family's affairs have to be said by their own family.
Bai Shengwen and Xu Wenlan followed, but they gave Bai Cao'er the lead unevenly, still thinking that Bai Cao'er could tell her father and mother the truth.
The second uncle was excited and happy, his face was full of redness, but the second aunt seemed to be thoughtful, and when she saw her daughter coming in, she immediately pulled her to her, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Shengwen, do you think it's okay?" We adopted Xiao An, just like when your mother adopted Wen Lan, when he is older, he will marry Cao'er, right? ”
"Mother......" Bai Cao'er's originally pale face was covered with red clouds, and she didn't know whether she was ashamed or angry.
Bai Yinglu furrowed his eyebrows, glared at Wang, and shouted, "What kind of hysteria do you have?" I've only heard of a child daughter-in-law, but how have I ever heard of a child son-in-law? Besides, you don't want to think about how much worse they are. As the saying goes, the female junior holds the gold brick, the female junior holds the gold brick, the female junior race mother, Cao'er is more than five years older than Xiao An, do you still want to make them husband and wife? Isn't that a joke?! ”
Bai Yinglu roared loudly, Wang Shi lowered his head first, and when he waited for the back, he suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Then what do you want me to do?" My daughter, why did I give the family business I saved to outsiders like this? ”
