The servants of the Qian Mansion were ordered to investigate the situation of the Bai family. They had just been brought to the third room when they saw this scene.
The grandfather and grandson were scolding each other. One was filled with hatred and had nowhere to vent, while the other was using obscene words and curses. It was even more exciting than in the play.
When the servant saw that the woman who was leading him was listening with interest, the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely.
"Take it." After giving the woman five copper coins to bring her travel expenses, the servant stepped forward and cleared her throat to interrupt Old Mrs. Bai's scolding, "Which of you is Bai Ling's family member?"
"I'm her father!" Bai Sanshu was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly.
"Where is my second sister?" Bai Wei didn't care about what she was doing with Mrs. Bai. She threw the kitchen knife and ran towards the waiter.
Bai Sanshu breathed a sigh of relief and limped to follow.
The servant looked at the courtyard of the third room, then looked at the three generations of the Bai family, and then said: "Bai Ling went to the Qian Mansion yesterday to cook fish for our old man, but the old man was poisoned after eating it..."
"Brother! Bai Ling is Bai Sanshu's daughter. Their third bedroom has been separated. This matter has nothing to do with us!" Old Mrs. Bai didn't wait for the servant to finish speaking, shouted angrily, and immediately
Turn around and run.
As for what kind of trouble the third room would get into, and whether Bai Ling would die, Mrs. Bai didn't care at all, for fear of hurting her.
The woman leading the way wanted to hear what was going on, but the servant glanced at her, turned around and left.
The servants of a wealthy family were not something a village woman like her could afford to offend. The words she just heard were enough for her to make some remarks in front of her sisters.
"How is my daughter? What does the old man's poisoning have to do with my daughter? Brother, am I making a mistake? My daughter is more timid than an ant, how can she harm others?" Bai Sanshu had no time to care about anything else.
He hurriedly pulled the servant's sleeve and asked.
"You must have made a mistake. My second sister has the best intentions. She won't harm anyone! If you want to arrest someone to save your life, then arrest me. Let my second sister go!" Bai Wei pulled the servant.
On the other sleeve, she shouted louder than Bai Sanshu, and it was not difficult to hear that her voice was trembling.
The servant was so dizzy from being shaken that he shook his arms vigorously, took a few steps back and shouted: "Shut up, all of you, and listen to what I have to say..."
Bai Sanshu and Bai Wei immediately stopped talking. They were both very nervous when they heard what the servants said about Bai Ling, fearing that the situation would be irreversible for them.
It is said that Bai Ling did not sleep well in the woodshed and fell asleep after lying on the kang for a while.
By the time the servant came to call her, it was already time to prepare lunch for the old lady.
This time the old man sent his trusted servant Walnut over and ordered a lot of dishes.
But as a doctor, Bai Ling would not accept it and ignored Walnut's nagging.
A white fungus, rock sugar and white porridge and a dish of pig blood tofu were the lunch Bai Ling prepared for the old man.
"Are you going to give this to the old man?" Walnut shouted exaggeratedly.
"Pig blood moistens the intestines and relieves constipation, nourishes blood and facilitates digestion. White fungus and rock sugar porridge is also suitable for people with stomach problems."
Bai Ling wiped his hands calmly, and when Walnut was about to continue spitting, he said:
"Tell the old man that I will cook more than a dozen fish dishes that he has never eaten before, and there will also be many kinds of spicy dishes. If the old man wants to eat these delicacies, he can cooperate with my stomach-nourishing meals, and he can only eat what I prepare every day.
For these, you need to eat less and more meals to get better quickly."
Walnut looked at Bai Ling suspiciously and saw that she ignored him at all, so he could only leave with the food box.
There was only one girl cooking the fire in the small kitchen, and the ingredients were abundant. Bai Ling fried two vegetables, steamed a bowl of white rice, and invited the little girl to have lunch with her.
In order to go home early, Bai Ling made some soft snacks after lunch to prevent the old man from losing his temper and eating food that would hurt his stomach.
At the end of the day, Bai Wei was led to the place where Bai Ling rested temporarily.
Perhaps the old man was quite satisfied with Bai Ling's craftsmanship, so someone served tea and snacks to the family of three.
"Second sister, they didn't beat you, did they?" Bai Wei asked as soon as the girl from the Qian Mansion went out, and even pulled Bai Ling to check.
"I'm fine. It was a misunderstanding yesterday. The Qian Mansion didn't make things difficult for me. They just asked me to cook for the old man for a few days. When the old man can eat normally, he will let me go home. Maybe the reward will be enough to buy medicine for my mother.
This is a good thing.”
Bai Ling pretended to speak casually, pulled Bai Wei to sit down, stuffed a piece of snack for her, and asked:
"Is mom okay? I didn't go home yesterday, so I must have scared mom."
"My mother fainted from fright yesterday. Our family has no money and cannot hire a doctor for my mother. My father originally wanted to come with me, but he was afraid that Myolie could not take care of my mother and little brother by himself, so he agreed that I would come to see you alone.
Already."
Bai Wei took small bites of snacks, stared at Bai Ling and complained:
"I know you're fine, living in such a nice house, and having some snacks to eat, so I don't need to worry about you."
"If you like it, eat two more pieces, and give the rest to mom and the others to take home." Bai Ling said very rudely: "If I knew you would come over, I should have saved some when I made snacks in the afternoon."
"That's not possible. What if the Qian Mansion says you stole their things and sends you to the government?" Bai Wei immediately shook her head and said disapprovingly: "You can't do stupid things. It's okay if you don't get paid. You don't
As long as something happens, I can't bear the burden of our family alone."
"Don't worry, I will go back well."
Bai Ling smiled and pretended to take something out of his sleeves. In fact, he took out the money bag made of rags from the space, handed it to Bai Wei and said:
"This is the money I got from selling fish. It's more than a hundred yuan in total. You can buy some coarse grains later. I'll find a way to pay for mother's medicine. If you just take medicine without eating, your mother's health won't get better, right?"
"Then just buy less and give it to mother." Bai Wei licked the snack crumbs on her fingers, reluctant to eat the second piece, and carefully hid the money bag close to her body.
Bai Ling knew that persuasion was useless, so he said: "Let's do this, you leave a hundred coins for emergencies, and buy the rest for coarse grains. Only when you have a full stomach can you dig out more medicinal materials and make more money, right?"
Bai Wei hesitated for a long time before reluctantly nodding.
The two sisters talked for a while, and they couldn't help but talk about what Old Mrs. Bai did. Bai Ling sneered when she heard this, but she didn't hide what happened in the market.
Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Ling was afraid that Bai Wei would go home too late after buying the medicine, so Bai Ling used the handkerchief that Shaoyao had given her to wipe her hands with, wrapped the snacks, and asked Bai Wei to put it in her sleeve and take it back.
When Bai Wei was about to leave, Shaoyao's voice came from outside the door, "Bai Ling, can I come in?"
Bai Wei touched her sleeve nervously, her face turning red.
"What are you afraid of? This snack is brought to us. Whether we eat it for ourselves or for our family, it's not up to us. The Qian Mansion will not be short of this." At worst, she can pay off her debt with merit, Bai Ling said shamelessly.
.
"Sister Shaoyao, why are you here?" Bai Ling opened the door and welcomed Shaoyao into the house.
"My second uncle asked me to come." Shaoyao's eyes were still swollen than in the morning. It was not difficult to guess that something bad happened to Zhang Sheng. "My second uncle asked me to give this to you. He said he wanted to give it to you."
If you enter the house, not only will you be imprisoned in the firewood shed, but it will also delay your fish business. This is the wages that my second uncle promised to give you."
"I can't blame uncle for this. It's also because I didn't ask thoroughly. How can I ask for uncle's wages?" Bai Ling hurriedly refused. (To be continued)
