Chapter 141: Settle the Score
The door is closed, and the ugliness of the family is not publicized.
Bai Lu slowly got up from the small bench, looked at Li Xuelan with a calm expression: "You say I have no conscience, I don't have you in my eyes, have you ever had me in your eyes?"
"There's only Bai Chaojie in your eyes, right?"
The tragic sound of Bai Chaojie's sequelae of splitting his legs spread throughout the entire front yard, not to mention how miserable it was.
Hearing this, Li Xuelan's heart ached: "Xiaojie is your younger brother, what's wrong with you letting him, you are a sister, do you have to fight with your brother for everything, and grab everything from your brother?" Will your brother die? ”
"Since I was a child, have I given him less?"
Without waiting for Li Xuelan, who only had Bai Chaojie in her heart, to refute, Bai Lu helped her recall one by one the unfair treatment she had received in the Bai family since she was a child.
"When Bai Chaojie was six years old, he was playing with other children in the mud, when I was six years old, you asked me to wash the family's clothes, let me learn to cook and stir-fry, from the age of six, laundry, cooking, and carrying water are all my work."
"When Bai Chaojie was ten years old, whether it was after school or on weekends, I went out with other children to play, I just turned ten years old, you let me go to the brick factory to help pull bricks, dry bricks, stack bricks, come back from work, laundry and cooking or me."
"When the family was so poor that they ate porridge, Bai Chaojie ate porridge and I drank porridge water. When I can eat at home, Bai Chaojie eats and I drink porridge. When I can eat meat at home, Bai Chaojie eats meat, I eat vegetables, and when I eat chicken at home, Bai Chaojie eats chicken legs and wings, and I eat chicken heads, chicken feet, and chicken backs......"
"Bai Chaojie changes new shoes and new clothes every year, my clothes are sewn and mended all the time, the shoes are squeezed and worn when they are small, and the clothes are patched until there are more needles and threads than fabrics, and I really can't make up for them, so I can change to the cheapest new clothes."
"Bai Chaojie has a little cold, fever and discomfort, so you take him to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, I just rest for two days when I'm sick, I don't have to do laundry and cook, lie in bed and boil it myself, if I get through it, my life is there, if I can't get through, my life is thin, which of you cares about my life or death?"
Li Xuelan admits that she does favor Bai Chaojie, but she definitely doesn't admit that she doesn't care about Bai Lu's life or death: "If I don't care about your life or death, are you still alive now?"
"Your younger brother is a boy, and when he grows up, he will inherit the lineage for our Bai family, continue the incense, and provide for me and your father to the end, I am not good to him, who is good."
"When a daughter marries out, she is a member of her husband's family, and it is also her mother-in-law's family who will give her a pension to the end, will you still care if we live or die in the future? No matter how bad I am to you, I gave birth to you, raised you so big, and has the grace of giving birth to you, shouldn't you help your mother's family when they are in trouble? ”
Li Xuelan doesn't feel that partiality is wrong, and the grace of birth and nurturing is always greater than the sky: "If I were really ruthless and threw you away when I gave birth, you would have been like the homeless man begging in the alley last year, starving to death and freezing to death."
Li Xuelan does have the grace of nurturing the original body, but it does not mean that she can erase everything that the original body has done.
Since Li Xuelan wants to calculate it like this, Bai Lu will accompany her to calculate it clearly, so that she will always talk about things with the grace of birth and nourishment in the future.
"You are indeed gracious when you gave birth to me in October." The facts are as they should be, Bai Lu does not refute them.
But what is wrong must be refuted: "As for raising me so big, I can only be regarded as the remuneration for all the large and small housework for the family since I was six years old, and I have to go to the brick factory to help you work on the weekends after school.
Li Xuelan was choked by Bai Lu's sharp teeth, and suddenly felt that Bai Lu was not like Bai Lu.
She watched Bai Lu who grew up since she was a child, and she was obedient, and Bai Lu, who was timid and cowardly, really changed.
No longer listen to her, no longer just stupid, everything can be calculated clearly.
Li Xuelan couldn't accept such a strange Bai Lu, and her tone was even more unkind: "Do you think you don't need money to study?" Your tuition and textbook fees from elementary school to junior high school and high school are all paid by your family, so is it worth this large amount of money with the little housework you do? ”
"I can't handle it."
After Bai Lu accepted the facts, he overturned the facts unhurriedly: "Isn't the 30,000 yuan given by Xiao Cheng enough?"
Li Xuelan choked.
Bai Lu continued: "Didn't you ask me where the money I earned from selling sugar and fried chestnuts was spent? I'll tell you now, it's all back to Xiao Cheng. ”
"Nothing happened to Xiao Cheng and I that night, the pregnancy test was a misdiagnosis with the same name in the hospital, I was not pregnant at all, and you used the child to blackmail the 30,000 yuan bride price given by Xiao Cheng, there is no legitimate reason at all."
"If Xiao Cheng sues us for extortion, you and I will go to jail, if I hadn't hurried to sell the fried sugar and chestnuts, and returned the money to him before the matter was revealed, do you think you would still be able to stand here in peace?"
Who is Xiao Cheng, how could Li Xuelan not know, saying that Xiao Cheng is ruthless and too kind.
There is no one in this world who can walk out and walk back after Xiao Cheng, either crawling or being carried back.
It wasn't until this moment that Li Xuelan noticed that Bai Lu's belly was so flat that it didn't look like she was seven or eight months pregnant.
I also noticed that Bai Lu's body was not as thin as before, and her skin was whiter and more delicate than before.
Go to the brick factory to help work, the wind and the sun are exposed, even if the white dew skin is naturally white, it will not be tanned into black charcoal, and it will be tanned into a yellow skin for a long time.
Moreover, because Bai Lu's hands are often working, they are also covered with a thin layer of cocoons, which will dry and peel off in winter, and will be white for a while, and when they go to work in the brick factory, they will grind out the cocoons again, and they will not touch the white and tender in front of them.
Li Xuelan remembered very well that before Bai Lu moved to Xiao Cheng's house, she was still thin and thin with yellow skin that fell by the wind.
can develop such a white and delicate appearance now, Bai Lu will definitely stay in Xiao Cheng's house this winter, there is no wind and sun to work, and the white skin can be restored at home every day, and after the thin cocoon on his hand is molted and reborn, he has not done anything again, so as to be as white and smooth as he is now.
is no longer thin, and her healthy and sunny complexion proves that Bai Lu is doing well in Xiao Cheng's house.
Li Xuelan seemed to have found the reason why Bai Lu suddenly became strange and turned her arm out to help Xiao Cheng.
"30,000 yuan can cover the cost of your study, but what about the grace of life that you admit? Without me, there would be no you, I worked hard to give birth to you in October, and I only asked you for a sugar-fried chestnut method, not too much, right? ”
"Not excessive."
Bai Lu's demeanor was calm, and his tone was flat: "But I have the right not to give."
"To put it mildly, when you are old in the future, if you are sick in bed, I will fulfill my obligations as a child and ask a senior nurse to take care of you."
"It is impossible for me to serve you as an ox and a horse as I did before, and obey your command in everything."
