The next day, Uncle Fu took two good guys to the town. The main task was to buy tools, and by the way, he sent home-cooked food to a few families he had made friends with, and also conveyed Anhao and Anhao to each other in disguise.
exchange information.
After all, Wufu Town is not big, so there are not many Xiujian available for purchase, but according to Bai Sanshu's instructions, Uncle Fu bought almost everything from a blacksmith shop.
With the influx of disaster victims, many shops in the town are also worried. They hope to get the money as soon as possible so that they can spend these uneventful days behind closed doors, so they also offer many discounts on prices.
The number of sleeve arrows is limited. Except for a few masters who are standard equipment, stewards such as Fu Bo are also eligible to get one. The rest are distributed to some embroiderers with bound feet to ensure the safety of everyone.
The clan leader, several clan elders, and the village chief, Bai Sanshu, all ordered people to send them a set of sleeve arrows, and also left a set for Chu Wen.
The rest of the tools were shared by everyone in the third house, and then the ordinary weapons were given to the village chief to give the people on patrol an extra layer of safety.
Not to mention the daily weapons training in the third house, it can be said that there are dark clouds in the old house.
"Boss, why do you think those people you brought back are so unreliable? They all stay at home and eat and drink every day. Our food is at the bottom. Now that food prices are so expensive, what do you have on hand?"
I don’t have much money left.” Old lady Bai closed the door and complained to Bai Dashu.
Old Mrs. Bai was stingy, and the land she rented out was only enough to keep the family's food rations, but she also sold all the land for money.
Now that there is an influx of disaster victims, the price of food has naturally risen. Old lady Bai is reluctant to spend money to buy it, but the food will not last for next autumn's harvest.
In addition, there were about twenty people who came, all of whom were young and middle-aged. Not only did they have big appetites, but they also shouted that they had to eat well and that every meal must have wine. Old lady Bai's flesh ached even more.
"Mom, you can't offend these people. Even if you provide us with good food and drink, it will be of great benefit to our family when you come back." Bai Dashu's face didn't look good either, but he could only say this.
Mrs. Bai had a long face and said unhappily: "Anyway, the wine at home is gone, the oil is at the bottom, and the food is only enough for a few days. You can think of a solution later."
Bai Dashu was angry at Old Mrs. Bai's stinginess, but had no choice but to say to Bai Yuanshi, "Didn't the town just collect the rent? Give your money to my mother and buy things first."
"The silver is Brother Cai's gift for next year, so I can't touch it!" Bai Yuanshi's expression changed and he didn't want to take the money.
Over the years, Bai Yuanshi has saved some money, but now she spends more money than she earns. Bai Yuanshi does not dare to spend money randomly. After all, her son is the hope of their family.
Moreover, Mrs. Bai rented out the land for two years, plus her previous capital, who would believe her if she said she had no money?
Bai Dashu became silent when he heard the words. He raised his head and looked at Old Mrs. Bai. When he saw Old Mrs. Bai immediately turned away, he said in a deep voice: "Take out half of it first, and when you get the benefits later, you won't even send your two sons to the school in Fucheng."
worry."
Bai Yuanshi had no choice but to nod and look for money in the baggage.
Old Mrs. Bai stretched out her head to look, but Bai Yuanshi blocked it tightly with her back and couldn't see anything at all.
After Bai Xue spent this time, her injuries were healed, but her personality became dull. When listening to her family talking, she would just sneer and not interrupt.
There are not many rooms in the old house, but there are too many people living in it, so Mrs. Bai can only live in the main room with the people in the first room, and the three people in the second room live in the broken room in front of the third room.
Due to the instructions from the village chief and the fact that Mrs. Bai was not willing to give benefits and was not even willing to provide food, there was no place to stay.
"Mom, I don't want to go out of the house. Those people are not good people. They touched me...touched me..." When it was time to cook, Bai Mei started crying in a low voice, her face turned red but she was embarrassed to finish her words.
"They bullied you? Tell mom what's going on?" Bai Qishi's face turned pale, and she quickly pulled Bai Mei to look at her carefully. Seeing her hesitating, she shouted anxiously: "You girl, what do you want in front of your parents?"
Sorry to say it?"
Bai Ershu's face also turned gloomy. With Bai Mei's bloodline, he could not feel pain, but he could not cause harm to others.
"They touched my butt, held my hand, and said they wanted me to...sleep with them!" Bai Mei was a girl after all. When she said this, her face turned red and her voice was so low that even mosquitoes could hear it.
"I'll kill them!" Bai Ershu punched the Kang.
"Master, you can't go!" Mrs. Bai Qi hurriedly hugged Bai Ershu and cried: "There are so many of them. If you go, how will you survive? These are goddamn bandits. They can't do anything."
Come out!"
"My daughter can't be bullied by Bai anymore." Bai Ershu said gloomily.
"I know, and I don't want my daughter to be bullied. We have to avenge this! Master, do you want to listen to me first?"
Bai Qishi wiped her tears and did not dare to say anything about being bullied, otherwise Bai Ershu would definitely beat her to death first.
Holding Bai Mei's hand, Bai Qi gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to say:
"When I was giving them drinks, I heard them talking about the third bedroom. I suspected that my eldest brother had deliberately recruited these people..."
After Bai Qishi finished what she heard, she saw Bai Ershu's gloomy expression, and couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart.
The hatred between Bai Ershu and Sanfang cannot be resolved at all. Whether she wants to avenge herself or her daughter, Bai Qishi has no idea at this moment.
Bai Mei raised her eyes and secretly looked at Bai Ershu, but she had her own idea in her mind, but she didn't say anything.
That night, while everyone in the other rooms was asleep, Bai Mei, under the cover of Bai Qi, trotted to the third room with the silver and jewelry she got from Bai Ling.
The person on duty at the village entrance today was Chu Wen. After learning that Bai Mei was going to the third room, he told his two other companions to escort Bai Mei there.
No matter what, Baimei is also a girl in the village, and they don't want anything to happen to Baimei.
Besides, when Bai Mei went to Sanfang, it was not far from the village entrance, so Chu Wen wouldn't have to waste much time when he came back.
Sanfang was surprised by Baimei's arrival, but the whole family still met her together.
Knowing from Bai Mei's mouth that Hong Quan and others were really coming for the third room, the anger in Bai Sanshu's eyes was about to burst out. He wanted to rush to the old house to question Bai Dashu about what his heart was made of.
"Brother Chu Wen, thank you for sending Bai Mei here. Please keep this matter confidential today," Bai Ling said to Chu Wen after being silent.
"Okay." Chu Wen said goodbye without asking the reason.
Mrs. Bai Liu was afraid that Chu Wen would be hungry during the night watch, so she had someone prepare snacks and hot soup for him, which warmed Chu Wen's heart.
"It's too late today. Let Bai Mei go to my room to sleep for one night. Anyway, it's not too cold right now and the warm couch can accommodate people. I'll pack up a guest room for her tomorrow."
Seeing Bai Mei glance at him several times, Bai Ling understood that she had something to say, so she said so.
"Sure, just look at the arrangements." Bai Liu was angry and was afraid that Bai Sanshu would be sad, so she didn't care about such a trivial matter.
Bai Wei has always disliked her two cousins, but she also saw the way Bai Mei looked at Bai Ling. She just pretended not to know anything and planned to ask Bai Ling tomorrow. (To be continued)
