Old Zhoutou and the village chief went to Bai's house to discuss with Mr. Bai how to deal with the three people.
They felt that there were some things they couldn't tell Mrs. Liu, but Mr. Bai was an insider. It was easier to talk to him, but it would only cause trouble for others.
The village chief and Lao Zhoutou were both a little embarrassed.
Mr. Bai's mood fluctuated greatly, and when he saw these two people again, his expression was even more complicated, especially when facing Lao Zhoutou.
He didn't know anything before, so of course he could have more room to weigh things, but now this matter involves his cousin, and even to a certain extent, the source of this matter is his cousin, so how can he refuse?
He knew what the village chief and Lao Zhou were worried about. He pondered for a moment and said: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter. I checked it early and found that they are false."
The village chief and Lao Zhou's eyes lit up, "Is this true or false?"
Mr. Bai nodded, yes to a certain extent.
Old Zhoutou and the village chief all breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they weren't officials.
Not the official...
Lao Zhou came to his senses for the first time and asked quickly: "Mr. Bai, since they are not officials, why are they here to investigate my younger brother's affairs?"
"They are not here to check Zhou Yin, but they are looking for someone." Mr. Bai had already discussed the excuse with Mrs. Liu and said, "That person has some relationship with our family, but I don't know where he is hiding. They know
My aunt moved here and came here in disguise to inquire, so she used disaster relief as an excuse to check her household registration. It was your reaction that aroused their suspicion."
Lao Zhoutou was dumbfounded, "Ah, it has nothing to do with our family?"
For a moment, Lao Zhoutou felt regretful and distressed at the same time. He regretted that he should not have been so impulsive yesterday and caused this fight. He also felt distressed for the house destroyed and the money lost due to the group fight.
The village chief also opened his mouth, thinking it was a misunderstanding for a long time.
Mr. Bai also had some embarrassment on his face and said, "By the way, I heard that the tiles on my father-in-law's roof were severely damaged. My aunt asked Aunt Liu to send you five taels of silver. Will you confiscate it?"
Old Zhou smiled awkwardly. Before this, he had always thought that this matter was caused by the Zhou family, and he was embarrassed to accept it, so even if Aunt Liu forced him to give him the money, he would not accept it.
But now...
Mr. Bai seemed to know this and said apologetically: "This is our negligence and a misunderstanding. Please keep this little money. I heard that Da Lang also injured his internal organs. Do you want me to go to the county to ask a doctor to come and look at him?"
look?"
Mr. Bai stuffed Lao Zhoutou with a purse, and Lao Zhoutou said at a loss: "No, no, no, the doctor has already prescribed medicine to stop the bleeding. It should be fine after a while."
But this time I didn’t refuse the money in my hand.
Mr. Bai breathed a sigh of relief and promised: "I will handle this matter well. Just rest assured, you two, and ask the people in the village to rest assured. After all, we are still involved in this matter."
The village chief said, "I can't blame you. It's because they have bad hearts. Moreover, we are all fellow villagers. Neighbors should help each other."
Although he didn’t know why, Mr. Bai was kind-hearted. Although Mr. Liu had only moved here two years ago, he was a good person. The children in the village often got pastries to eat when they played with the young master of the Bai family.
.
Even if there are fights between children, the old lady never cares and will not bully others.
So the village chief still likes this new villager.
This time, the two of them let go of the huge stone that was weighing on their hearts. As heavy as it was when they came, they felt so relaxed when they left.
If Mr. Bai hadn't been in front of him, Lao Zhou could hardly help but grin. He just said, after so many years, who would come to see my little brother?
Mr. Bai sent the two brisk-footed people out. As soon as they went out, he saw two children, each carrying a plate, sneaking over from the east side, seeming to want to go to the west garden.
Master Bai:......
Old Zhoutou:......
The village chief looked at Old Zhoutou and then at Master Bai, but he was too sensible to say anything.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao, who had pestered the cook to prepare two plates of snacks for them, deliberately did not go through the nearest backyard in order to avoid the eyes of Liu and Zheng, but first went around to the front yard and then to the west.
Bai Shanbao's study is in the West Garden.
Quietly using the corridor and using the big tree as cover, the two of them slipped through the front yard without even seeing the three adults standing above looking at them.
As soon as the two of them entered the West Garden, they ran away.
Man Bao held the plate with both hands. When he saw that the glutinous rice cakes were about to fall out, he slowed down and pushed them back with his hands before continuing to run.
When they arrived at the study, Man Bao stretched out his hand to take one to eat, but Bai Shanbao slapped him on the back of his hand.
He said seriously: "You have to wash your hands first."
"All right."
Man Bao went to wash his hands in the basin on the shelf next to him. He quickly dipped his hands in water and rubbed them. Regardless of whether they were clean or not, he shook his hands, wiped them with a towel, ran back to his seat, sat down, and started eating.
After Bai Shanbao washed his hands, he quickly held his own snack and ate it.
“It’s delicious~~”
"Yes, yes." But Bai Shanbao was very restrained and said: "It will be very uncomfortable if you eat too much. Let's eat two pieces first, then read for a while, and then eat the rest for lunch, okay?"
Man Bao was reluctant to part with it, but she also knew that he was right, because she had also endured it. She nodded reluctantly, "Okay, what book do you want to read today?"
"I'm reading "Mozi". There are a lot of fun things in it. If it could be made, it would definitely be more fun than the toys we play now. What book are you reading?"
"I read the "Huangdi Neijing" and I feel that my family members are always sick. If I can treat illnesses and injuries, I don't have to worry so much when I encounter emergencies."
"Okay, then I will make toys for you to play with, and if I get sick, you can give me medicine."
"no problem."
"I want to take sweet medicine."
"How can medicine be sweet?"
"I don't care," Bai Shanbao said, "I want to take sweet medicine, but I won't take bitter medicine."
Man Bao thought for a while and said, "Okay, I remember that licorice is sweet. At worst, I will add a little more for you and it should be sweet."
Keke:...That’s not how the medicine is prescribed.
But the two children obviously didn't know it at this time. They both thought it was a good idea, so they took out the book and read it with satisfaction.
Mrs. Liu stood outside the window and looked at them. Unlike before, she saw more of Man Bao today.
She had met Qian before, but she thought Zhou Man didn't look like Qian. Even though Qian was sick now and seemed to be very weak, she was quite tall.
It can be seen that when he was young, he was a very cheerful and strong person, and Xiao Qian is very similar to her.
Zhou Man was more petite, but since Zhou Man was still young and heard that he had some congenital deficiencies and was always sick, she thought this was normal.
What's more, she has a pair of eyes that are very similar to Thursday Lang's.
