Bai Naoer called him a "virtuous son-in-law", which made Li Mu confused. But on second thought, he realized that Bai Naoer had given in. He called out the word "virtuous son-in-law" first. For Bai Qiaoqiao's sake, Li Mu
It's not too merciless. Li Mu actually really wanted to give Bai Nao'er a hard time, but seeing him like this, he felt it was boring, so he skipped this step and said expressionlessly: "Okay, it's embarrassing.
That’s enough, let’s go!”
Bai Nao'er didn't dare to say anything and silently lowered his head and followed him out. However, Bai Gensheng saw that Li Mu didn't show any sign of the situation, so he patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said, "Li Dalang, I knew you would become my brother-in-law sooner or later!"
Li Mu glanced at him without saying a word. The memory retained in his mind told him that the original relationship between Li Mu and this Bai Gensheng was not bad. Although they were not very close, Bai Gensheng had helped Li Mu when he was bullied. Although
He did it for Bai Qiaoqiao's sake, but after all, he was one of the few people in the Bai family who had expressed a favorable impression of Li Mu.
There is something wrong with Bai Gensheng's brain. He is too straightforward, his thinking is very simple, and he never thinks about things in complicated ways. He is short-sighted, which is completely opposite to Bai Nao'er. Although Bai Nao'er wants to Bai Qiao
Qiao married to give him a wife, but Bai Gensheng objected to Bai Naoer more than once. But after all, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy and could not influence Bai Naoer's decision.
Li Mu led the two of them out of the Yamen. At the door, he helped the Bai family and his son take back their ox cart, mounted the horse, and walked in front without asking them to come with him. When Bai Gensheng saw this, he was about to shout,
Bai Nao'er grabbed him and whispered: "Just follow me. This is the entrance of the Yamen. What are you shouting? If you shout again, you will be arrested again! Let me tell you, Li Dalang is no longer the original Li Dalang. He is now
But the county magistrate is an official and he doesn’t dare to act casually!”
Bai Gensheng nodded confusedly, as if he understood, but also seemed not to understand. Anyway, he would listen to whatever Bai Nao'er said, and it had been like this since he was a child. He helped Bai Nao'er climb onto the bullock cart, and sat on it by himself
He waved his whip on the shaft of the carriage to drive the carriage, and followed Li Mu not far or near. They followed until they reached South Street and the door of Li Mu's house. The two men got out of the carriage and followed Li Mu into the yard together.
Li Mu's shop is one of the largest in the entire South Street. After returning from the construction site in the past few days, when it gets dark early, Li Mu repairs and strengthens it. Not to mention it has a new look, it is not much different from Mayi County.
Compared with Bai Nao'er's shop, it was several times bigger. When Bai Nao'er entered the door, he searched around with his little eyes and silently appraised the shop in his heart. He didn't know the land price in Dingxiang City, but if it was based on the price in Mayi County,
Judging from the land price, it is absolutely impossible to buy the front and back courtyards of this shop without twenty guan.
It seems that Li Mu is really prosperous, otherwise where would he get all this money!
Just when he was angry, Bai Nao'er smelled the aroma of meat. He was so anxious just now that he hadn't eaten a single piece of bread. His stomach was already growling. When he smelled the smell of meat, his saliva couldn't stop pouring out and he couldn't help but swallow it down.
Bai Gensheng couldn't resist. Although he gnawed several steamed buns, smelling the smell of the meat, it seemed as if he hadn't eaten any steamed buns. Bai Naoer also forgot about Bai Naoer's warning and started shouting at the top of his lungs: "
Sister, are you making stew? Give me a bowl, I'm hungry!"
Bai Qiaoqiao was serving food on the stove. When she heard the sound, her hands shook and she almost dumped the meat on the ground. Sun saw it from the side, stretched out her hand to help her, and said, "You're not an outsider, why are you nervous? We have today.
Your father will also restrain himself from things like this and won't treat you like he did before."
Bai Qiaoqiao nodded slightly and came out of the kitchen with a pot full of stew. Bai Gensheng stretched out his hand to take it, but Bai Nao'er grabbed his arm. When father and daughter met, Bai Nao'er was somewhat chatty, and he also
He knew that as a father, he had a lot of regrets towards his daughter over the years, but he didn't feel that he was wrong.
Bai Qiaoqiao is a daughter. Sooner or later, a daughter will be thrown away. She has to rely on her son to support her in old age. He thinks there is nothing wrong with favoring his son. Other families do the same. Besides, Bai Qiaoqiao's mother is gone, and now she and her son are the same.
He lives with Bai Gensheng's mother. In Bai Nao'er's heart, the three of them are a family. Bai Qiaoqiao is just a superfluous person at this price. If she can marry her to a good family, a rich family,
It is a good home for her, and she can exchange more money to find a good wife for her son. In Bai Naoer's view, this is the best of both worlds.
He never thought that one day, he would be able to count on his daughter, especially like today, when she fell into the hands of the stupid boy from the Li family whom he despised the most, and had to rely on him to be accommodating before he could get out of the yamen. Seeing him now
Bai Qiaoqiao, Bai Naoer's heart is full of mixed feelings, and it's really hard to explain clearly.
But one thing is clear to him, that is, he must not let go of Li Mu's thigh, and he must hug it tightly. He is now an official, county magistrate, and besides the county magistrate, he is the biggest. Although he doesn't know
The county magistrate of Xiang had a lot of power, but he had seen the magistrate of Mayi. His magnificence and scenery made him envious. He couldn't even talk to them and could only watch them from a distance.
If he came even slightly closer to the carriage, he would be scolded by the government servants. Not to mention that Li Mu had already hitched a ride on the son of General Li Ji, which was much more important than his status as county magistrate. Therefore, although he felt very embarrassed,
A little bit unable to let go of her arrogance, Bai Naoer gritted his teeth and admitted it, and spoke to Bai Qiaoqiao first.
"Daughter, daughter, how are you doing?"
"I'm living a good life, better than when I was at home." Bai Qiaoqiao put down the basin and turned back to the kitchen. Her eyes were slightly red and she couldn't tell what it was like. She felt relaxed but also lost. She remembered something inexplicably.
Mother.
Bai Nao'er was left alone by his daughter and was very embarrassed. He didn't dare to talk to Li Mu, so he had to bite the bullet and talk to Mrs. Sun, saying, "My mother-in-law, how are you doing these days?"
Mrs. Sun couldn't stand Bai Nao'er the most, but for Bai Qiaoqiao's sake, she still held back and didn't look down on him, saying: "My son has become an official, and his life is naturally better than before. But you are
Ah, are you willing to call me your in-laws?"
"Oh my..." When Bai Nao'er heard this, he felt extremely ashamed. He raised his hand to slap himself in the face and begged: "Don't mention these words again. I am an old bastard. I have no eyesight and cannot see."
I have a good son-in-law and a great talent. My dear mother-in-law, please forgive me for once, but if I have to do some work in the future, I won’t bother you for nothing, even if I work like a cow or a horse.”
"Haha..." Mrs. Sun was too lazy to say anything else. She glanced at Bai Gensheng and said, "Sit down, my child. You can eat whatever you want, just like your own family." Bai Gensheng had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Hearing this,
He laughed stupidly and sat down on the wooden stool. Bai Nao'er stared at him several times, but he pretended not to notice, filled a bowl of meat himself, and started to eat it with a cry.
