Bai Ling laughed angrily, not knowing that Mrs. Bai could set the lower limit of shamelessness.
"What you said is wrong. The herbs are from the back mountain and the entire Qianshan Village. They are not from our third house, nor from your old house. Whoever picks them belongs to that family. The third house is not like that.
Big face, let the big guys come and help." Bai Ling saw that the village chief's face was extremely ugly, and he was afraid of making people sick, so he took the initiative to speak.
Old Mrs. Bai stretched out her hand to pinch Bai Ling, but was blocked by Bai Wei's fire stick.
"Rebellion, do you all want to piss me off to death?" Old Mrs. Bai put her hands on her hips, pointed at Bai Sanshu's nose and cursed: "Bai Sanshu, am I still your mother? What I said,
It’s not easy to use, isn’t it?”
Bai Sanshu opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to find his voice, but it was bitter.
"Mom, without the help of the villagers, Sanfang would have been extinct long ago." Bai Sanshu said this painfully, but he couldn't say more.
When Sanfang was evicted, most families in the village helped.
Regardless of whether it's a bowl of rice, a handful of vegetables, or a bundle of wheat straw, it can last until the autumn harvest.
But Mrs. Bai took her people and moved all the food away. People in the village were not rich either. Who would dare to help after seeing this?
The village chief also knew these things, but Bai Sanshu admitted it himself, and he would not intervene. However, he felt sick in his heart, angry that Bai Sanshu was not living up to expectations and did not know how to protect his children.
"Auntie, if you don't understand what it means to separate families, I, the village chief, will go and invite the clan elders, and we will open an ancestral hall and have a good talk." The village chief's face was cold, and he glared at the old lady Bai as he said, "We in Nanshan Village have always
Be kind, if Auntie continues to cause trouble, I, as the village chief, have some power. Your boss hasn't been back for a few days, so I can just ask my eldest grandson to go look for him in the town."
Mrs. Bai was very dissatisfied, but she was afraid of being divorced and fearing that it would affect her son's future, so she could only endure her anger.
She didn't dare to do anything to the village chief, and Mrs. Bai hated the third room even more.
"What are you doing? Why don't you carry all these baskets back? Your grandma, I'm dizzy, and I'm still waiting for money to see a doctor." Old Mrs. Bai shouted to the grandchildren she brought with her.
If Mrs. Bai hadn't been so loud, some people might have believed that there was something wrong with her at her age.
Bai Xiaoshan and Bai Xing used their calves to protect the medicine basket and refused to let go. They knew that these items were the family's ration money.
Bai Wei waved the fire stick and hit several people who were trying to grab the baskets, obviously trying to protect them.
Bai Ling quickly came to the village chief, knelt on the ground with a thud, and pinched the top of his thigh hard.
"Please ask the village chief uncle to save our family!"
Looking up at her tearful little face, Bai Ling cried:
"The third family was almost evicted from the house. They were only allocated one acre of land. They were also promised to provide one hundred kilograms of food for their retirement every year. This was written in the family separation document. But there were so many medicinal herbs at the foot of the mountain.
You don’t let your sisters pick it, but you insist on robbing it from our family. Isn’t this forcing us to die?”
Bai Ling's voice was very clear, but at this moment, it was crying, and his desperate screams made people feel heartbroken.
Not to mention the few wives outside the courtyard who couldn't stand it, even a grown man like the village chief was sad to hear this.
In addition, Sanfang had just done something kind and Bai Ling was also a sensible person, so the balance in the village chief's mind naturally tilted.
"Fifth Aunt!"
Helping Bai Ling stand up, the village chief strode to Mrs. Bai and solemnly warned:
"I have been the village chief for so many years, and I have also dealt with people from the yamen. Since the third house has been separated, it is no longer the same family as your old house. If we can be relatives, no one will care about it.
"
The village chief held his breath, no longer caring about Old Mrs. Bai's face, and said clearly, "As long as the third house provides enough food for the elderly every year, even if they don't give an extra piece of firewood, it is legal. Come back again, fifth aunt."
The third room is making trouble, even if the third room does not dare to do anything to you because of filial piety, I, as the village chief, will not see the mess you are making, so we can either open an ancestral hall or go to the Yamen to talk!"
"The village chief is right. When his fifth uncle was alive, the Bai family was such a good family. Let the women be the masters of the family. In just a few years, the situation has become like this. The three houses are almost ruined.
Yes. Our Bai family cannot tolerate such a woman, otherwise word will spread and it will affect the marriages of the boys and daughters of the Bai family." An older woman said.
"Yes, that's the truth. In our Nanshan Village, there are many families who have fled from various places, and it is difficult for the children to get married. There is an elder like the fifth aunt who has worked hard with his own son's family. I'm afraid that people outside don't know.
I thought our Nanshan Village was just like this, who would dare to marry their daughter over." The woman who spoke was a woman with only one son at home.
"It's not easy for even a daughter to find her husband's family. I'm afraid that outsiders will think they're guarding such a cruel person, and they will follow suit." A woman with a daughter at home said worriedly.
It was a good thing to be able to sell medicinal herbs, and everyone was happy.
Now that Mrs. Bai was causing such a stir, everyone sympathized with the third family, and at the same time, they also began to worry about the marriage of their juniors.
Especially the Chu family. Their Chu Wen and the third family are close, so they need to keep an eye on them in the future.
The Zhang family, who had withdrawn from their marriage to the third family, now felt that what they had done was too correct.
With such a difficult elder like this old lady here, we can't make trouble for decades. Besides, the third wife is also stupid. If there is a way to make money, how can it be made public?
Sanfang doesn't care what these people think, they just want a stable life.
Bai Wei scared Bai Mei and pulled her younger brothers and sisters to kneel down to the village chief and kowtowed heavily.
"Thank you to the village chief uncle for taking the decision for Sanfang. The girls and boys will kowtow to you."
Bai Wei's forehead turned red, but she brushed away the village chief's kindly extended hand, looked bitterly in the direction of Mrs. Bai and said:
"Today, I would like to ask the village chief uncle and all the fellow villagers to bear witness. As long as we, the third brother of the Bai family, are still alive, if anyone from the old house dares to make trouble again, the worst case scenario will be that they will be beaten out. If the trouble is too serious, they will be kicked out.
, even if I, Bai Wei, risk my life, my old house will have to stop in the future!"
Bai Wei has been a thorn since she was a child. She was often beaten by Mrs. Bai. The most severe period was when she lay on the bed for half a month and could not get off the bed. It was Bai Liu who secretly sold her dowry and gave her some medicine, which saved her life.
And Bai Wei knows the temperament of Old Mrs. Bai best. The village chief's warning can only make her afraid for a while, but she will soon return to her old ways. She doesn't mind saying harsh words, and she really plans to do so.
Bai Ling stepped forward, pulled his younger brothers and sisters up, looked at Old Mrs. Bai with cold eyes, but said softly: "The eldest sister is married, and I am the eldest in the family. Even if you really work hard, I will still be there.
It’s not your turn.”
As long as there is space, Bai Ling can live the rest of his life peacefully even if he cannot change his name and start a new life.
There were several gasping sounds outside the hospital, and I couldn't believe my ears.
Bai Wei's words make people feel cruel, but they won't be too surprised. After all, this is not the first time Bai Wei has said this, and he can swing the fire stick at will.
But when Bai Ling said this, and in such a gentle tone, it made people think of the saying that rabbits will bite when they are anxious.
An honest man is bullied to the point of killing someone, which shows how good the people in Laozhai are at what they do. (To be continued)
