At night, the two sisters chatted about the old house and gossips about the gossips in the village, and Bai Wei became very angry.
On the other hand, Bai Ling was very calm and didn't bother to pay attention to these gossips. Only when he lived to a certain height, no one would dare to make irresponsible remarks behind his back.
The days repeated themselves every day. People in the village did not know that Bai Ling had returned. They were afraid that Sanfang would offend the big families in the town, and those who wanted to gossip did not dare to approach Sanfang.
Even those who had a good relationship with the third house in the past did not come to visit due to various reasons. It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
For a few days, Bai Ling sold fish every day and went to Qian's Mansion to cook lunch for the old man. His days were quite fulfilling.
The family collects a lot of medicinal herbs every day, and there is no place to store them, so every day Bai Ling takes about 100 kilograms to the drug store to sell them, and then goes to the market to sell fish.
"Sister-in-law, the fish is tied for you." Bai Ling handed the packed fish to a woman. After taking the money, he continued to shout: "Ten cents per fish, there are only two left. I'm passing by."
Don’t miss it!”
"Are you the daughter of the Bai Sanshu family?" A shadow enveloped Bai Ling, and the voice sounded familiar.
"...Fat Aunt." Bai Ling raised his head and looked at the other party's fat body, his smile was a little stiff.
There are two most hated women in Nanshan Village. One is Chen Daniu's daughter-in-law, Chen Huang, who is shrewd and unreasonable.
Chen Erniu's wife is a fat aunt, and her boss, the boss, has a blasphemous tongue and is the head of the Li family. She can make up trouble for anything.
Today, I was caught by the fat aunt selling fish. If I go back to the old house, I can trust her. I might have thought that she would make a lot of money in a day, and she would definitely come to make trouble.
"I'm here to sell eggs. I heard from others that your fish stall is booming..." The fat aunt stared at the fish in the bucket and started talking.
Bai Ling responded awkwardly, and after selling the fish, he stood up hurriedly, "Fat aunt, you sell it first, I have to go home to work, so I won't talk anymore."
Without giving Fat Aunt a chance to speak, Bai Ling took the bucket and left.
However, Bai Ling did not enter the space this time, but ran all the way home.
With Fat Aunt's temperament, she will definitely spread the news everywhere after returning to the village, and maybe even go to the old house to talk about it, and then...
With the best grandma here, Bai Ling didn't want all the things he just bought to be taken away in vain.
Bai Ling ran home all the way. When he saw no one in the kitchen, he immediately put everything that might be of interest to Mrs. Bai into the space.
After the family returned home, they saw Bai Ling sitting on a small bench picking wild vegetables, looking toward the gate from time to time with a not-so-good look on his face.
"Second sister, who provoked you?" Bai Xing asked, blinking her big eyes.
Her cheeks have grown fleshy and her complexion is quite rosy. Bai Ling is now a cute girl.
"My mother is going to come over later and make some noise. You and Xiaoshan go into the house with your mother. No matter what happens, don't come out. Your third sister and I are here."
Bai Ling picked up the vegetable basin, glanced at the nervous Bai Sanshu when he entered the kitchen, and said in a calm tone:
"Dad, if you don't dare to resist me, don't do anything to help me right now. Our family has just had a good few days and we can't stand my father's foolish filial piety."
"Daughter, dad..." Bai Sanshu said painfully, not knowing what to say.
"The second sister is right. Dad can't protect us, and don't hold us back. The family has saved some money these days, but most of it is earned by the second sister. She can give it to whomever she wants. Dad
If you feel that all the money you earn should be given to the old house and you don’t have to support your wife and children, I won’t stop dad from returning to the old house to fulfill his filial piety. I just hope that dad can give us mothers a way to live." Bai Wei said in a stiff tone.
The way.
Mrs. Bai Liu, who was mending clothes on the kang in the room, had red eyes. She didn't agree with what her daughters said.
But the word "filial piety" is greater than heaven, and Bai Sanshu is a foolish filial piety. The Bai Liu family has been bullied for so many years, and they don't know how to resist.
"Xing'er, Xiaoshan, help your second sister to dry the medicinal materials in the backyard so that she can go into the house and rest." Bai Liu made up her mind to listen to her daughter and supported the two girls' actions in disguise.
Bai Sanshu followed the children without saying a word, holding a basket in one hand and walking towards the back of the house.
The backyard is a vegetable garden for three bedrooms. Because we moved in at the wrong time and didn’t grow vegetables, it was used as a drying area.
Bai Ling quickly cooked a pot of wild vegetable soup without adding a single grain of rice. He didn't even add Lingquan water this time.
"Second sister, how did you know the milk was coming?" Bai Wei, who came back from putting away the medicinal materials, was still angry, but wanted to know the reason.
"When I was selling fish, I met the fat aunt." Bai Ling explained. It goes without saying that Bai Wei would understand.
The Chen family's sisters-in-law are both weirdos. Chen Huang is a blood-sucking leech who wants to extort some money from anyone she catches.
The fat aunt, on the other hand, likes to stir up trouble, just to watch the excitement and not be afraid of big trouble. If she doesn't disturb other people's houses, her life will be no fun.
Angrily, she stuffed two branches into the stove, lit a fire stick and stirred it twice. Bai Wei stood up and looked at Bai Ling who was stirring the pot and said: "Second sister, there is no way we can reconcile with each other."
Have we stopped communicating with our old house? I’ve really had enough of this kind of life!”
Looking calmly at Bai Wei, who was always angry, Bai Ling felt very satisfied. Her twin sister knew how to use her brain.
Having someone at home who is on the same side as you will make it easier to do things in the future.
Bai Ling smiled softly and comforted: "Don't be angry, it's not easy to sever the relationship. Unless the old house did something outrageous and resentful, which made dad completely cold-hearted towards them and let us take it for granted, otherwise in the future
The third room will have to be stabbed in the spine, and Xiaoshan will never be able to lift his head up for the rest of his life."
"Do we have to suffer a big loss to make the old house unable to stand up?" Bai Wei frowned and said with a look of resentment: "It's really unfair. Why should we, the sufferers, have to worry about this and that?
?”
"Filial piety." Bai Ling sighed softly: "My parents have been oppressed by the word filial piety for half their lives. Although we are a generation apart, if we don't do it well, others will say that our parents don't know how to teach their children, and they will be scolded in the end."
It's still them. Tumo Xingzi can drown people, we don't care about that, but my parents and Xiaoshan can't."
Bai Wei sat back frustrated, not knowing what she was thinking, and her eyes became fierce.
Bai Ling didn't notice anything unusual about Bai Wei. After cooking the wild vegetables, he put them into a pot, brought them to the Kang table in the east room, and filled a large bowl for the whole family.
"Second sister, can't our family afford to eat again?" Bai Xiaoshan poked at the wild vegetable soup in the bowl and found that there was nothing but wild vegetables. He couldn't help but wrinkled his face and asked cautiously.
Rubbing Bai Xiaoshan's yellow hair, Bai Ling glanced at Bai Sanshu and said comfortingly: "As long as the baby doesn't come to our house to get things, Xiaoshan will have food to eat."
"The Nai family is so rich and they have meat to eat every few days. Why do you want to rob our family of food?" Bai Xiaoshan asked ignorantly.
"Xiaoshan, that's your baby. It's only natural to come to our house to take things. How can you say it's robbery!" Bai Sanshu scolded with a straight face.
"Why should dad talk about little brother?"
Bai Wei slapped her chopsticks on the table and shouted angrily:
"We have separated. In the separation document, we have written down how much food we will give each year as filial piety. Even if we don't even give a grain of food, that's our duty! When we lived together, our third wife did all the work.
They are the ones with the big fish, the meat, and the new clothes. Now that they are separated, the milk still comes to us to plunder it. If we don’t give it to us, we will rob it. We even robbed the second sister and sold it. Is this what we deserve?
"
"I didn't say that." Bai Sanshu lowered his head guiltily and took a sip of wild vegetable soup. His mouth was full of bitterness and he couldn't swallow it. (To be continued)
