Bai Ling put on a good brother attitude, put one hand on Baicao's shoulder, stuffed the red envelope into his clothes with the other, and shouted:
"But the eldest sister can't tell the other sisters about this, otherwise they will come to bribe me. I'm afraid I'll be arrogant!"
Bai Cao was so amused that she laughed out loud.
The door was pushed open at this moment, and Bai Wei pouted and said: "Second sister is already arrogant, and she also has the capital to be arrogant. Whose girl has such abilities as second sister? Well, this is what I give to second sister.
I don’t know if the bonus is as much as the elder sister’s, but it’s just a little bit of my kindness so that I can make money with peace of mind using the prescriptions that the second elder sister gave me.”
Bai Wei's words were very straightforward, with a clear expression on her face, and she did not hide the grateful and touched look in her eyes.
Knowing Bai Wei's temperament, Bai Ling did not refuse. He took the red envelope and deliberately teased: "The money man in our family is going to bleed. I have to see how much money is in it. I won't do it without it."
"If you don't do it, just give it back to me. Anyway, the second sister is not bad at that." Bai Wei said, pretending to grab the red envelope.
Bai Ling nimbly dodged and quickly counted the banknotes inside, smacking her lips and saying, "Third sister, you can do it. One shot is a thousand taels! Doesn't your heart hurt?"
"Of course it hurts. It's bleeding. If the second sister has any good medicine, give it to me to repair my broken heart." Bai Wei said, covering her chest.
Although Bai Wei and Baicao gave the same amount of money, Bai Wei earned almost all of her money by herself.
When she first made fermented bean curd, her family helped, but as things got more and more complicated, Bai Wei took over the work herself.
It wasn't until Bai Wei bought a servant and asked for two little girls that she had helpers and could make things easier.
As for the income from Baicao, most of it comes from the embroiderers rushing to work.
But Baicao's business started late, and the cost was high.
He also had to slowly repay Bai Ling's buyer and the capital lent to her, so there wasn't much money left.
"Is Third Sister sick? Second Sister, please check on me quickly." Bai Xing heard this when she walked to the door, and hurriedly entered the room and asked.
"Your third sister has a heart problem." Baicao covered her mouth and said with a smile.
Bai Xing looked at Bai Wei in confusion, and felt relieved when she saw that she didn't look sick at all.
Looking at the red envelope and banknote in Bai Ling's hand, Bai Ling stepped forward sheepishly and said, "It turns out that the eldest sister and the third sister are also here to give red envelopes to the second sister."
"What is it?" Bai Ling rolled his eyes, hugged Bai Xing onto the warm bed, scratched her armpits with his fingers and asked: "Little sister, aren't you here to give red envelopes to the second sister?
"
"Well, second sister, please let me go...haha! It's so itchy."
In order to avoid Bai Ling's claws, Bai Xing had to crawl to Baicao for protection, and threatened:
"If the second sister bullies me again, I won't give the second sister any red envelopes."
"Young man, second sister, I don't want a red envelope, but I also want to tickle you." Bai Ling scratched his fingers in the air, pretending to pounce on you.
"It's really shameful for you, second sister, to bully a little girl who is only a few years old."
Giving Bai Ling a look, Bai Wei sat cross-legged, stretched out her hand and asked:
"Little sister, how much money does your second sister have? Third sister, help you count it."
"I earn very little, only one thousand taels." Bai Xing said shyly.
With a 'dong' sound, Bai Wei fell onto the kang.
With a 'pop' sound, the tea that Baicao had just drank spurted out.
Bai Ling opened her mouth wide in surprise. After taking the red envelope handed over by Bai Xing, he placed all three red envelopes on the Kang table and said in a loud voice: "Didn't you guys agree on this? Do you want to have such a tacit understanding?"
Although Bai Xing is in charge of the sauce by herself, she is too young, so her family members naturally have to help, so she knows how much to ship.
When Bai Ling bought someone, in addition to buying a personal maid for Bai Xing, he also sent two women to help her, so that the little girl would be less burdened.
"What kind of tacit understanding?" When Bai Sanshu and his wife entered the house, they heard Bai Ling's words.
"What's going on? Bai Wei, how old are you? You can't even sit down." Bai Liu looked at Bai Wei and lectured her.
"Mom, you are so partial. You just tell others without asking." Bai Wei sat up in confusion and learned what she just said.
Baicao had already wiped the kang clean, spread a small quilt, and asked Bai Sanshu and his wife to sit on the kang head.
Knowing that the girls were so sensible, Bai Sanshu and his wife looked at each other and saw the smiles in each other's eyes.
"Your father and I came here for this reason." Bai Liu took out two red envelopes and placed them on the table.
"Father and mother, who are you?" Bai Ling asked in confusion.
"Second girl, it's thanks to you that our family is what it is today. Parents shouldn't be partial, but everyone also understands that it was you who made the family rich. My parents have no other ability but to take good care of you and provide for them.
This stall.”
When Bai Sanshu said this, he felt extremely satisfied, and the look he looked at Bai Ling was even more loving.
"My parents have long said that the things in your own names, as well as the stall you are now in charge of, will be your dowry from now on. In addition, the family will prepare a separate dowry for you. But really everyone
It's all the same, but I've treated you badly. After all, a lot of the family's property was earned by your second daughter, so my parents can't be careless."
"Dad, why are you talking about this? We are all a family." Bai Ling quickly glanced at the sisters, fearing that they might have something in mind.
"Second girl, let your father finish what he said." Bai Liu gave Bai Ling a hand and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Bai Ling said "oh" and then sat obediently aside, forming a semicircle with his sisters and looking at Bai Sanshu who was speaking.
"Dad is the stupidest person and doesn't know what to say. Today I just want to say what I have been holding in my heart for a long time, and you all will listen."
Bai Sanshu scratched his head, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by several girls.
"Although Bai Ling's parents had to keep the money and property in her reward, a lot of our family's food, clothing, food and supplies came from there, and we saved a lot of money throughout the year.
. Just say that your mother has ordered all the things in the warehouse, and our family can’t even afford them with the money we earned this year.”
"Our family has been so poor that we can't afford porridge, and now everyone in the family can clearly see how much Bai Ling has done. Dad is not saying that you haven't done anything, it's just that we don't do as much as Er Yatou.
The second girl has helped everyone in the family find a way to make money that can be passed on to their children and grandchildren, so she is the benefactor of our family!"
"Dad..." The tip of Bai Ling's nose felt sour.
Bai Sanshu, who usually kept silent, was so understanding, which surprised Bai Ling.
Waving his hands, Bai Sanshu said again: "When you went to treat Mrs. Duan, your mother and I were looking forward to your return. We were afraid that you would not have a good life outside, but we also understand that you are sisters.
The most promising among them will have a different path from you in the future."
Bai Sanshu glanced at his daughters and saw Bai Wei pursed her lips slightly, but did not say anything to her alone.
"You sisters are the sweethearts of your parents, and they hope you will be well. But your parents know very well that the second girl's future marriage will either come from a high family, or she will start her own family. No matter which one she is, she will
You must have enough money and property around you."
Having said this, Bai Sanshu sighed, with a mixture of relief and worry on his face.
"Even if our family has a little money, we are from a farmer's background, so we can't rely on Bai Ling." (To be continued)
