Chapter 13: Snow, Warm Sun, Deed of Sale
It's getting colder, and the snow is getting heavier.
Bai Rou shrunk in the firewood room, rubbing her little hands that were frozen.
She didn't think about where her brother went, she just knew that no matter where he was, he would always come back.
My brother will never leave my sister alone.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Bai Rou got up excitedly, ran over to open the door, and shouted, "Brother, are you back?" ”
After opening the door, I found that the person who came was not my brother, but my sister-in-law!
Bai Rou rubbed her eyes, and said in her heart that she was not dreaming?
This sister-in-law never comes out of her house, so why did she come to the firewood room?
Lin Xiang'er was wearing a thick goose down cloak and a bowled flower hat that must have been well-behaved, smiled at Bai Rou, and called out affectionately: "Sister." ”
It's a strange name, it's never been called that before.
"Sister-in-law......" Bai Rou immediately became regular, bowed her head slightly, and bowed to a non-standard flat courtesy.
"It's cold, my sister-in-law has brought you some clothes."
As he spoke, he stuffed the package he was holding to Bai Rou.
This made Xiao Nizi confused, and her heart said what is the situation?
When did sister-in-law become so considerate?
Even if you want to send clothes, you should ask someone to send them, how can you send them in person?
The keen little Nizi noticed that there was fraud in it, and her expression became vigilant: "Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?" ”
Lin Xiang'er was a little shy: "That...... Listen to your brother, you know there's a hole in this backyard where you can sneak out of the house. ”
"I ...... I...... I don't know. ”
"Don't be nervous, sister-in-law won't blame you. Now your brother hasn't come back for a long time, and your sister-in-law is afraid that your brother will get lost outside, so she wants to ask you to go out and look for it. ”
"Huh?" Bai Rou grew up with a small mouth, "Sister-in-law means...... Sneaking out of the house? This ......"
What is the identity of sister-in-law?
Everyone is beautiful, noble and holy, spotless, always behaves in moderation, and never has the slightest irregularity.
Sneaking out of the house today?
Listen to this breath and get out of the hole!
In an instant, the tall and majestic image of the sister-in-law was completely ruined in Xiao Nizi's heart.
"It is said that Miss Lin is a well-informed lady, and she is not a good woman at this time!"
Lin Xiang'er really didn't know that she was counted down by a little girl, and continued to smile and said, "Your brother is not coming back, aren't you worried at all?" ”
"Brother, he must have something else, and he will naturally come back when it's time to come back."
Lin Xiang'er frowned: "Sister, you helped your sister-in-law this time, and next time your sister-in-law won't let Steward Liu bully you." ”
Steward Liu is a nightmare in Xiao Nizi's heart, nodded immediately, and then changed into a brand-new winter coat given by her sister-in-law and quietly went out, and took her sister-in-law to drill the dog hole.
……
When Bai Song woke up from his dream, the world gave him a snow-white color.
The chill swept in, and the coarse rag shirt was a little cold.
Sangsang lifted the curtain and held a brand-new cotton coat in his hand.
"White ...... Big Brother White...... For you. ”
The little girl's voice was like a mosquito, her face was dyed red, and her delicate attitude was even more delicate than Miss Lin.
Bai Song had no heart or lungs, he missed the shyness of the little girl, and only thought that he was cold, and it happened that it was a good thing to have a brand new cotton clothes.
I took it and put it on, without even saying thank you.
Sang Sang didn't care, just watching Brother Bai put on his clothes and felt a warm sun in his heart.
The dress fits perfectly, as if it was tailor-made, but with a lack of colour and too monotonous.
Sangsang stood obediently like a student accepting the teacher's comments.
I didn't want Bai Song to pay attention to his clothes at all, so he turned his head and asked, "Sangsang, when did you come back?" Are all the herbs ready? ”
Sang Sang was slightly disappointed and nodded: "It's all bought, see that Big Brother Bai is sleeping well, I can't bear to disturb it." ”
Next, Bai Song began to decoct the medicine, and Sang Sang made a fire in front of the stove to cook.
What I eat is the venison bought by Bai Song, which is a delicacy that ordinary people don't often have.
The smell of meat attracted many neighbors to watch, and they were all asking what kind of happy event the aunt of the Qu family had encountered, and she could actually open the pot and eat such a good meal.
Sang Sang was full of joy, and showed off to the neighbors without hesitation, saying that it was all sent by his big brother Bai, which aroused the envy of the people around him.
Another hour passed, and the medicine was fried, and the meat was ready.
Bai Song first asked his aunt to drink the medicine, and then helped Zhang Luo prepare for dinner.
Although it is a little harder here, the Billin family lives freely, and together with Sangsang, there is a kind of family warmth.
Bai Song didn't even want to leave.
But now Sangsang's father has not returned.
The mother and daughter are also twisters who "understand the rules", saying that the main family is not there, and they can't move the chopsticks, so let Bai Song eat first.
In this case, Bai Song could only wait.
After waiting for a while, someone outside came to say: "Aunt Qu, your man is about to be beaten to death in the western suburbs!" ”
Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter's faces turned pale.
Huang hurriedly wanted to go out, but he was unwell and almost fell together.
Sang Sang stopped his mother: "Mother, you are guarding at home, I'll take a look." ”
Sang Sang turned around to look at Brother Bai, but saw that Brother Bai had already run out with the messenger.
At the entrance of the western suburbs, people watching the excitement have gathered around several times.
Bai Song heard someone talking outside.
"Have you heard? The old man of the Qu family actually went to the county to gamble money. ”
"What do you mean? An honest person like Qu Heng actually went to gamble? Who believes it? ”
"Heh, this is called knowing the face and not knowing the heart. The Qu family looks quite honest, who knows what bad intentions are secretly in mind? ”
"Gambling money? Does the Qu family have the money to gamble? ”
"He went to borrow money to gamble, and he lost a full eight times, and he had to repay twelve times with interest, and he sold his daughter, and he couldn't pay it back!"
"Oh my God!"
The onlookers were all scared into a cold sweat when they heard this.
Twelve dollars, enough for a family for two years.
Isn't the old man of this qu family crazy? What is the situation of the family? Where did you get the courage to borrow money to gamble?
"You know what? This old guy was beaten all the way from the city to the western suburbs! ”
"Isn't this a kill?"
"What about being killed? The yamen doesn't care about this kind of thing. ”
Bai Song listened all the way, and brutally pushed away the crowd, and saw four or five lean men kicking at an unkempt middle-aged man on the ground.
The person has been kicked into a rolling gourd, and I don't know if he is still conscious, but the blood on that ground is shocking.
"Stop fighting! Stop it! ”
Bai Song rushed forward and pushed the two of them away.
Several thugs were stunned for a moment, looked at Bai Song's brand-new clothes, and felt that they had a bit of identity, so they stopped: "Who are you?" ”
"Leave me alone! How much he owes, I'm padding. ”
"On the mat? Can you put it on? Twelve times! ”
Bai Song was not ambiguous, and directly searched out all the broken silver on Shen's body: "Here are six taels and five dollars of silver, count your six dollars, you have made a lot of money!" ”
A group of poor ghosts in the western suburbs were frightened.
The heart says, "Where is this sacred?"
How can anyone go out and carry so much silver with him?
Many of the county residents in the border towns had never seen what silver looked like in their lives, and they exploded for a while.
Several thugs were also bluffed.
Knowing that it is impossible for a person who is not a noble person to trade with silver, he is a little respectful at the moment.
"This son, this silver is true, but these silver can't be exchanged for twelve pieces of money."
"Who do you think you are? Lao Tzu made money for you for no reason? The money will be exchanged for half a month, and the rest of the money will come back in half a month, and I will give it to you with interest. ”
After speaking, Bai Song smashed the silver over.
Several thugs hurriedly picked it up, then looked at each other, and said: "Okay, let's give my son a little face today, and we will come to withdraw the money after half a month, if we can't pay the money, then we will take the daughter of the Qu family away!" ”
said a scroll in his hand: "Look clearly, this is the deed of sale drawn by Qu Heng himself." ”
