Chapter 16, The Family Home for the Dead

Sister Li's family lives in a small courtyard, upstairs and downstairs.

It can be seen that the conditions of her family are not too bad.

Bai Jiu also has a heart to communicate, so put away the precautions on the surface.

Sister Li sighed.

"This has to start from last year." Sister Li actually didn't want to talk about it, but the eldest sister in front of her had her eyes, so she didn't mind talking about last year.

For example, the family area of their lumber mill is a well-known place in the county, and some people are willing to come over to exchange something.

You must know how many people there are in the entire family area, and if there are many people, there will be all kinds of people.

Those fellows who came to exchange things also suffered from the hands of those black-hearted people.

The front foot brings people into the house, and the back foot robs the person's things, and then reports it.

For a while, I don't know how many people were arrested.

Alas.

After hearing this, Bai Jiu broke out in a cold sweat.

"Aren't they afraid of retaliation?" Bai Jiu asked out loud.

"What's the revenge, everyone who went in ate ate peanuts, what kind of revenge." Sister Li's eyes are about to fly into the sky.

If it weren't for those people making such a fuss, the past two years would not have been so bitter.

Bai Jiu was also the first stranger to come in in the past two years.

It was a big deal back then, and no one who knew anything about it would come to them.

It's very unlucky.

Even if they have money, even if they go to the black market to buy things, people see or hear that they are lumber mills, and they don't sell them if they have money.

Don't ask why you know that they are a lumber mill, you know, cats have cat paths, and rats have rat paths.

It's only a matter of time before people on the black market want to know.

"Then eldest sister, did you pull me in?" Bai Jiu found a suitable weapon in the space, as long as the person in front of her made a move, she would definitely strike first.

"Sister, don't worry, the eldest sister is not the black-hearted thing, and those people are not afraid of retribution, hmph, they are all a bunch of shameless things."

Seeing Bai Jiu's nervous appearance, Sister Li was angry.

"Big sister, don't worry, I'm alone at home, and it will definitely not be bad for you, it's not that I want to try my luck when I see you come over as a stranger, just because you are carrying a big backpack." Sister Li's hands were nervously rubbed together.

I'm afraid that people will run away.

You know, except for the supply and marketing cooperatives now, they really don't have to buy anything.

There are only so many supplies in the county, and it is impossible to give priority to these people, so they can grab it, but... She just can't grab it.

Bai Jiu was not afraid at all, but now after listening to her words, he was indeed a little weak-hearted.

"Sister, you may be mistaken, I'm not here to change things." Bai Jiu didn't want to cause trouble here.

Let's change places.

It's also bad luck, why did she choose such a place.

"Big sister, you can't see death without help, big sister can't help it, the family has a large population, and now there is really no food, even the coarse grain is gone, I don't believe you go to see it with the eldest sister."

As soon as she saw Bai Jiu like this, Li Cuihua became anxious.

If they can't get anything to eat, the family will really starve to death.

"Big sister..."

"Don't be afraid of the big sister, the kitchen is not inside, it's outside, I don't believe you can go in and take a look."

Sister Li didn't say a word, and directly took Bai Jiu to her kitchen.

It's empty.

Not to mention the grain.

Even the place where the grain was put was moldy.

Bai Jiuzi was entangled.

First, she is afraid of being reported, she doesn't want to die yet, and there are two cuties waiting for her at home.

"Big sister, look, the eldest sister didn't lie to you, you can do it, change it for the eldest sister." Sister Li is a talker, and she doesn't say buy this word for a long time, only change.

Bai Jiu finally wanted to try, "Then how does the eldest sister want to change?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Sister Li jumped up happily, "Ouch, great, great, big sister, eldest sister has nothing else, it's just that there are more tickets and money, you see what you can change." ”

After saying that, she took out a stack of tickets and a few big unity cards from her body.

Bai Jiu felt that Sister Li was really too much... Pretending to be forced.

But it doesn't look like her.

Never mind.

"I have twenty catties of rice, twenty catties of cornmeal, and five catties of meat, and I don't have more." She didn't dare to take more, the back basket was so big, it would be good to be able to take out so many things.

"Sister Li, what do you want to see?" Bai Jiu felt that if there was a next time, she would have to force this back.

It's just that the back basket is a little smaller, and if it's bigger...

Sister Li's mind was all fascinated by what Bai Jiu took out, how could she hear what Bai Jiu said.

"Good stuff, good stuff." It's been two years, and she hasn't eaten anything good at home.

I finally saw the fine grain, and finally saw the meat.

It's not that she can't buy things, but when she does, the supply and marketing cooperatives have already sold out, and it's useless to get up early.

If she hadn't rested at home and didn't go to work today, I'm afraid there would be no such opportunity.

Sister Li didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, she directly gave Bai Jiu all the money and tickets in her hand, and then began to check what Bai Jiu put forward.

The rice is plump, the cornmeal is even more delicate, and the aroma of the meat makes her swallow her saliva.

Bai Jiu looked at the money and tickets in his hand, speechless.

"Big sister, this is not enough." She has so many things, these thirty or so yuan are not enough.

She plans to sell rice for two pieces a catty, cornmeal for two pieces, and meat for two pieces.

Even if you have a ticket, this money is not enough.

Don't say that she is black-hearted, but her things are worth it, and the price sold to Zhou Daqing yesterday is cheaper than now, but that she doesn't understand the market.

Now that she understands the market, of course she won't let herself suffer.

Bai Jiu saw that Sister Li was like a demon, and she didn't listen to a word of her words.

No, she had to step forward to stop her.

"Sister, don't worry, this money is not right, you see..." Bai Jiu stepped forward and snatched the bag in Sister Li's hand.

Sister Li came back to her senses at this time, maybe she hadn't seen such a good thing for a long time.

"That, the eldest sister can't help it, blame the eldest sister, blame the eldest sister." Sister Li is reasonable.

It's true that I'm too excited.

"Look how much you owe, the eldest sister will get it for you."

"Twenty catties of rice, two pieces of one catty, cornmeal is also twenty catties, the same two dollars a catty, if you want meat, count you two pieces, this is the price of a ticket, if you don't have a ticket, I'm afraid it will be half more expensive."

She is not a bodhisattva, there are many poor people in this world.

Sister Li did frown when she heard the price.

But she also knows that the price is about the same as the black market, but who can't let herself go to the black market to buy things.

Even if she asked for a ticket, she earned it.

"Okay, according to what you said, the ticket will be brought to you by Sister Qian."

Sister Li turned around and walked out of the kitchen, and soon she was in the house.

Bai Jiu didn't follow in.

After only two or three minutes, Sister Li walked out with a small bag.

"Big sister, here are sixty yuan, and there are some tickets that are about to expire, you know, there are not many big sisters in the season, do you see enough."

handed the money and tickets to Bai Jiu.

Bai Jiu took it and counted it carefully.

I didn't look at the ticket much, anyway, the ticket was incidental.

"Okay, that's right, then I'll leave first, big sister."

Bai Jiu felt that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and for some reason, she always felt that something was wrong here.

As soon as she heard that she was leaving, Sister Li's hand stopped.

"Big sister, you wait, big sister will go out with you." If you don't send the eldest sister out, I'm afraid that the old and immortal will come to find trouble.

Bai Jiu originally postponed, but seeing the seriousness of Sister Li's face, she nodded, "Then thank you, Eldest Sister." ”

After Bai Jiu left the family area of the lumber mill, he broke out in a cold sweat.

She shouldn't come back to a place like this.

Sister Li said let her go next time, forget it, she won't send it.

It's a scary amount of money.

Walking faster and faster, Bai Ling always felt that someone was staring at her behind her.

After slowly seeing the pedestrians on the road, Bai Jiu relieved himself.

And at this moment, she directly bumped into a person.

"Mother-in-law, are you alright?" As soon as Bai Jiu hit someone, he stepped forward and grabbed the person who was knocked down by himself.

After seeing it clearly, she was very afraid, "Is my mother-in-law hurt?" If it's hurt, let's go to the hospital. ”

The mother-in-law seemed to be frightened, and it took her a while to recover.

"It's okay, it's okay, there's no need to go to the hospital." She didn't fall to the ground again, she was pulled by the little girl, and went to some hospital.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" The mother-in-law looked behind her, but she didn't see anyone chasing her.

Bai Jiu took a deep breath, "I was thinking about things just now, and I didn't notice my mother-in-law for a while, I'm sorry." ”

"Young people now, okay, let's go first if you have something, I'm fine." As soon as the mother-in-law heard that she was thinking about things, she didn't say anything more.

If it's okay, who would think while walking.

"Is it really okay, mother-in-law?" Bai Jiu was still a little uneasy.

"Or I'll send you back." Bai Jiu was a little reluctant to go.

Because she saw that her mother-in-law's leg seemed to be injured.

I don't know if I hit it myself.

The mother-in-law wanted to refuse, but at this time, the pain in her leg came over, "Then it's troublesome for you, my house is at the bus station over there." ”

Looking at the place pointed by his mother-in-law, Bai Jiu knew how far he had walked just now.

"It should."

Following the path pointed out by her mother-in-law, Bai Jiu quickly sent her mother-in-law home.

A short time after entering the house, a man walked in.

"Who are you?" When he saw Bai Jiu at his house, he immediately asked loudly.

Because she sent her mother-in-law home, her mother-in-law went to pour water for her, she originally wanted to leave, but her mother-in-law kept her again and again, and when she saw the old man alone, she was indeed a little uneasy, so she stayed.

"You're Uncle Wu." Bai Jiu got up and said to the people who came in.

Along the way, Bai Jiu had already asked the people from her mother-in-law's family.

This person looks three points like Granny Wu, and she guesses that he may be Granny Wu's son.

"Who are you? Why are you at my house. ”

Wu Shaoyuan was a little worried about his mother, so he rushed back after the meeting.

I didn't expect outsiders to be in my home.

At this time, Granny Wu walked out holding on to the wall, "Shaoyuan is back, this is Bai Jiu, a kind-hearted person who just sent his mother back." Granny Wu smiled when she saw her son come back.
