Chapter 22: The Living Slave of the Bai Family
Xia Xueniang was stunned by Zhou's glance, and sat at the dining table tremblingly, eating with a bowl.
Bai Zhi didn't think anything, didn't look at Zhou, sat at the table to eat, after eating the hotel's dragon and phoenix soup, this bowl of porridge with a few grains of rice in sight, Bai Zhi really couldn't eat a bite, but looking at the appearance of Zhou and Wang Qing, I wished they didn't eat, and pouted.
If you don't eat for nothing, you can't give them the rest if you don't want to eat, and if they don't feel happy, she will be happy.
Wang Qing sat at the dinner table, seeing that the dishes on this table were half picked up by Zhou, and hurriedly picked up the bowl. "Dad, you eat vegetables."
As she spoke, she took half of the remaining vegetables into Bai Chengjia's bowl, then picked up a little bit of the white lotus, and finally poured the rest directly into her own bowl.
Winter has just passed, not long after the beginning of spring, the vegetables in the field have just been sown, in addition to a little wild vegetables, there is still a little Chinese cabbage left in winter, and a bowl is made every day, this is just a blink of an eye, the vegetables in the bowl are gone, and Bai Zhi's mother and daughter and Yu Cui can only stare at the porridge in the bowl.
It's also a shame that Bai Zhi is not hungry now, otherwise she might make trouble, but she is still full at this time, and she is too lazy to mix it, she glanced at the porridge in Yu Cui's bowl with a little more rice than them, and sighed lightly,
In this family, except for the big house, everyone is a living slave.
After thinking about it, Bai Zhi drank the porridge in the bowl and went out.
Xia Xueniang couldn't be so scared of Zhou's family, seeing that Bai Zhi was gone, she hurriedly ate the porridge in a hurry, ran out, and when she went out, she saw Bai Zhi in the yard, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, Bai Zhi has changed too much, and the inexplicable Xia Xueniang subconsciously feels a lot more at ease with Bai Zhi.
"Mother, eliminate food, wash your face and sleep later." Bai Zhi turned her head to look at Xia Xueniang who came out, and said slowly.
When Xia Xueniang heard this, she nodded, walked to Bai Zhi's side and sat down, in fact, this Bai family's food, where can I still eat anything, I can't eat at all.
It's just sitting outside for a while, and there is only one bed in the room, and you can't do anything but sleep when you go in, and it's still early, so I sleep, and I can't sleep.
The two sat outside for a while, Xia Xueniang fetched water, washed their faces and feet, and prepared to sleep, but they didn't make it.
"Yo, the third brother and sister and the third girl are ready to sleep??"
Wang Qing leaned against the door, looking at Bai Zhi and Xia Xueniang's mother and daughter with an unkind face, as if it was a heinous thing for them to go to sleep now.
Xia Xueniang was afraid of being bullied in the Bai family, and when she saw Wang Qing leaning against the door with an unkind face, she knew that she was going to wash the dishes, and she subconsciously wanted to go to the kitchen, so she moved her foot and was stopped by Bai Zhi.
"Mother, what are you doing?? You're going to wash the dishes? ”
"Sanya, what do you mean, what are you pulling your mother for?" Wang Qing saw that Xia Xueniang was going to wash the dishes, and she was immediately proud, but after seeing Bai Zhi's movements, she exploded, pulled the fat oily face, and opened her mouth in displeasure.
"Your mother is going to wash the dishes, what do you mean by not letting you?"
Bai Zhi looked at the arrogant Wang Qing and smiled: "What do I mean, what do I mean when I say auntie, this cooking and washing dishes is a set of jobs, and they all come in turns, what, you don't wash the dishes when you cook??" Or do you mean that the aunt doesn't know how to cook and wash the dishes all these years? ? ”
In the early spring, it was cold in the morning and evening, not to mention that Xiushui Village was on the side of the mountain, and it was a little foggy as soon as it was dark at night, and the clothes on Bai Zhi's body were already thin, and she already felt a little cold at this time, so she just wanted to go back to the house quickly, and tomorrow she would go to the mountain to find something to eat and come back.
Looking at Wang Qing, he didn't have a good face anymore.
Since Xia Xueniang arrived at the Bai family, Wang Qing has never done housework again, more than ten years have passed, and now let her wash the dishes and cook, where is she still used to doing it, she originally wanted to instruct Xia Xueniang to wash the dishes, but she was choked by Bai Zhi like this, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you still doing, don't you go to wash the dishes, what are you talking to those two sluts there."
Wang Qing was speechless, and after hearing Zhou's voice in the house, he glanced at Bai Zhi fiercely, pulled his face and walked in.
As soon as Wang Qing left, Xia Xueniang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, in the future, be tough, don't, as soon as they call you, let's do what we should do, and don't do anything more than we shouldn't, they're used to their temper."
As soon as Wang Qing left, as soon as Bai Zhi and Xia Xueniang returned to the room, Bai Zhi couldn't help but speak.
Her cheap mother's temper is really too weak, often weakness and concession can not make the other party stop bullying you, but will boost her momentum, people, often bullying good and afraid of evil, the more you endure, the more you bully you.
After Xia Xueniang heard Bai Zhi's words, she couldn't help pursing her lips and nodded almost invisibly.
Bai Zhi also knows that her cheap girl's temperament has been bullied and rubbed for so many years, and it is strange that she can change it for a while, but as long as she has the heart to resist, it will always change in the future.
Early the next morning, Bai Chengjia asked Wang Qing to go to the town to buy sulfur, and by the way, let her go to the Shengcai Restaurant to inquire if she really collected snakes.
She didn't believe it, if someone really accepted it, it would have been collected a long time ago, and it would have to wait until now.
Look at her and don't make them look good.
Today it was Yu Cui's turn to cook, but Xia Xueniang estimated that she had been used to rubbing over the years, and she didn't do anything in the morning, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it, so she watched Yu Cui make breakfast, so she hurriedly helped.
When breakfast was ready, Wang Qing came back with an unkind face.
As soon as Bai Chengjia and the Zhou family saw Wang Qing like this, their faces immediately sank.
"What's the matter, is that little slut Sanya lying?"
Zhou's Wang Qing was like this, and he felt that it must be that the restaurant did not accept snakes, so he stood up from the stool with a pout, and looked at Bai Zhi's mother and daughter with an unkind expression, and there was a posture that as long as Wang Qing said that he would not accept snakes, he would want them to look good.
When Wang Qing saw this posture, he couldn't wait to nod immediately, saying that he wouldn't accept the snake, but he still didn't dare, if he let them know that he was lying, it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to please him at that time, and finally shook his head unwillingly.
"No, mother, the restaurant really wants to accept snakes, and I bought all the sulfur."
In order to feel sorry for him, Wang Qing said this, and Zhou retracted his gaze and sat down with compassion.
Seeing this, Bai Chengjia on the side nodded: "Hurry up and eat, and go up the mountain to have a look." ”
As soon as breakfast was over, Bai Chengjia and Wang Qing took their things and went to the mountain, Yu Cui washed the dishes at home, and Xia Xueniang was called by them to work in the fields.
Bai Zhi smiled coldly when she saw this, and followed Xia Xueniang to the ground together, but she didn't want to be stopped by Wang Qing.
"Sanya, if you don't follow us up the mountain, where are you going?"
When Bai Zhi heard this, she rolled her eyes indecently: "What am I doing with you up the mountain?" I still have to work in the fields. ”
"The way you told us to catch snakes, if you don't go up the mountain with us, what do you want to do, do you want us to be bitten by snakes, your grandmother has gone to the mountain, what kind of heart are you doing."
As soon as Wang Qing heard that Bai Zhi was not going to catch the snake and quit, she was afraid in her heart and didn't want to go, but she couldn't stop the Zhou family and Bai Chengjia They wanted to make money, since it was Bai Zhi's method, it must be pulled along.
The Zhou family and Bai Chengjia, who were originally thinking of going up the mountain with the three of them, immediately set their eyes on Bai Zhi after hearing Wang Qing's words.
"Sanya will go with us, we don't know how to catch snakes."
Bai Chengjia looked at Bai Zhi standing in the courtyard and said in a deep voice.
"Dad, Zhi'er is a child, what are you going to do, what kind of snake can she catch." As soon as Xia Xueniang heard that they asked Bai Zhi to go up the mountain together, thinking about the way Bai Zhi caught the snake yesterday, her heart tightened and she hurriedly spoke.
She didn't want her Zhi'er to catch snakes anymore, although she looked very skilled, how could she walk by the river without getting her shoes wet, what if she was bitten by a snake when the time came?
However, she forgot that in this family, where is her part to speak, and when she opened her mouth, Zhou had a black face and glanced at her.
"Slut, what do you mean, you just wish we were bitten by a snake, didn't you?"
Xia Xueniang was yelled at by Zhou, and couldn't help shrinking her neck: "No, Niang, Zhi'er is too young, she can know how to catch a snake, what to do if she is bitten by a snake." ”
"She's afraid of being bitten by a snake, so we're not afraid, if it weren't for the debt for this money-losing thing, we would still be able to run up the mountain at an old age, who would go if she didn't go."
Zhou's heart was already on fire, and when he saw Xia Xue like this at this time, he couldn't help but scold, and Bai Chengjia on the side immediately felt bad when he heard Zhou's words, and was about to open his mouth when he heard Bai Zhi's cool and leisurely voice.
"Grandma, don't talk nonsense, are you trying to lose money for me? Since the snake was caught to lose money, it was time to let the lotus flower go up the mountain with us, and our whole family was trying to lose money for her. ”
As soon as Bai Zhi heard Zhou's words, she was immediately happy, and looked, people didn't think that this matter was caused by Bai Lotus at all.
As soon as these words were finished, except for Xia Xueniang and Zhou, the faces of the few people present were not good, as if they were as uncomfortable as eating flies, in Zhou's consciousness, even if it was the white lotus that damaged other people's things, it was clear that as long as they sold Bai Zhi, they could solve it, but Bai Zhi didn't let them sell it, and it was Bai Zhi's fault to make such a moth.
But because of the patriarch's previous words, he didn't dare to say more, for fear that she would really make trouble at that time.
Bai Chengjia sighed when he saw this, and looked at Bai Zhi with a calm face: "Sanya, this matter is over, don't mention it again, your grandmother is also too anxious for a while, since it is the way you said to catch snakes, you can follow us up the mountain." ”
Bai Zhi didn't think that they could say anything good, but when she heard Bai Chengjia's such a fluttering sentence, she wanted to expose the previous matter and let her go up the mountain, so she couldn't help but purse her mouth and sneered.
