Today's business was good, and when the stall was about to close, Yu Yu delivered another product.
"No need to harvest tomorrow, it will rain the day after tomorrow." Bai Banxia said.
Yu Yu looked up at the sky, "How do you know?"
"Stargazing." Bai Banxia smiled, "Just do as I say."
"Oh." Yu Yu thought to himself, I want to see if it really rains the day after tomorrow.
The Bai family closed the stall and returned home, only to find that Ma Xiaoyu had left.
"Xiaoyu said I couldn't trouble you all the time and had to leave, but I didn't stop her." The aunt said with a look of shame.
Bai Banxia shook her head, "It's not my fault, Xiaoyu also has her own ideas. Let's leave it like this for now."
Mrs. Li sighed, "Xiaoyu, that kid has a hard life. It's a good thing he has to meet a good family in the future, otherwise..."
"Let me go take a look." Bai Banxia said hello and went out to Ma's house.
She did not rush to find Ma Xiaoyu, but wandered around Ma's yard to observe the situation first.
She didn't expect to hear yelling coming from Ma's yard soon: "Damn girl, how can you drink porridge when it's so hot? Do you want to kill us? You broom star killed your own mother, do you still want to kill me now?"
No need to ask, the voice belonged to Ma Xiaoyu's stepmother, Mrs. Xu. Bai Banxia wanted to rush in and slap her a few more times.
There was a loud bang, the sound of the door being kicked open.
Ma Xiaoyu's voice came from the yard: "The freshly cooked porridge is not hot but can it be cold? You are such a big man and you don't know how to blow it before drinking it. Are you a child who wants to be fed? You have no right to mention me.
Mom, otherwise don’t blame me for whipping you! Why do you still want to sue my father? Go, go quickly, if you beat me I will run away, and then we will see who will chop wood for you to cook, heat water and wash clothes!"
Ma Xiaoyu sputtered a lot of words, which shocked Mrs. Xu. She looked at the swaying door panel again and couldn't help but feel a little scared. Not to mention that Ma Xiaoyu did rough work every day and was very strong, and she could fight people.
It is not necessarily much lighter than the white pinellia.
She remembered Bai Banxia's slap in the face, her cheeks still ached, and she slumped.
Especially since Ma Xiaoyu was not at home these two days, no one was doing the work at home. The old lady actually scolded her and asked her to do the work.
Over the years, she had become accustomed to yelling at Ma Xiaoyu, so why did she need to do any work by herself? She had only been cooking for two days, and her hands were already cracked.
Bai Banxia secretly applauded outside. Ma Xiaoyu was not as cowardly as her predecessor and could not be bullied by outsiders. However, she was submissive at home because she had been taught to be filial since she was a child.
It doesn't matter if I'm beaten or scolded by my biological father, or if my stepmother finds trouble, I don't dare to fight back, I just keep my head down and work hard.
But what's the use? No matter how hard she tries, her biological father and grandmother never really feel sorry for her. They only have eyes for her stepmother's younger brother.
Fortunately, Ma Xiaoyu knew how to resist, and she was doing very well now. Bai Banxia left with peace of mind and returned to Bai's house.
"I just went over and took a peek, and her stepmother was looking for trouble and scolding her again."
Before Bai Banxia could finish speaking, Zhang Lingzhi rolled up his sleeves and said, "What the hell, I can't even call her to death!"
Bai Banxia hurriedly grabbed her mother and couldn't help laughing, "Mom, why do I think you want to fight? I guess Xiaoyu was influenced by you and kicked the door and scared her stepmother.
Another scolding made her stepmother calm down a lot."
"Tell Xiaoyu that she must be as powerful as she should be and not let others bully her. If her father dares to beat her, she will run over and hide." Zhang Lingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I will tell her."
While the two were talking, the woman from the Sun family next door came to the door.
"Old sister, they say your granddaughter can cure diseases, can you help me? I've had several stomachaches early this morning." Mrs. Sun said with a confused look on her face.
Old Mrs. Bai shouted into the yard: "Panxia, come and see me."
Bai Banxia walked into the house, and the old lady winked at her, indicating that she would save some face for herself.
"Okay." Bai Banxia agreed with a smile. As long as the old lady is reasonable and not a monster, why doesn't she save face for the old lady?
She stretched out her hand to feel Mrs. Sun's pulse. She had eaten something cold and her stomach couldn't bear it.
The herbs she picked in the morning happened to be good for stomach cold and diarrhea, so she took some and told Granny Sun a few words, telling her to drink more warm water, keep warm, and not eat cold things anymore.
"Sister, your Banxia family is becoming more and more capable, so thank you." Grandma Sun said happily.
"Neighbors should help each other, so why thank you?" Mrs. Bai said proudly.
After Mrs. Sun said goodbye and left, Mrs. Bai finally showed a smile to Bai Banxia. After all, her granddaughter had made her happy.
Bai Banxia politely gave her two cents, "Grandma, I'll buy you some candy."
"Humph, you thought of me today." The old lady complained, but with a smile on her face, "How much did you sell the wolf for today?"
Bai Banxia didn't blink an eyelid, "Forget it, people said that I could have given five taels of silver, but the skin was badly burned, so in the end I only gave two and a half taels."
"What a pity." Qi Zhen agreed while pushing the wheel.
Anyway, Bai Banxia said hello to Zhang An and Old Wu. After selling for too much money, the two of them would not go back to the village to talk more. It was not her who had the final say what she wanted to say, and Qi Zhen would not expose her.
"So little?" The old lady almost jumped up, "Where is the money?"
"That's Qi Zhen's money, but I'm thinking that my cousin and his sister-in-law are coming back, and this house isn't enough to live in. Since Qi Zhen wants to live there, why don't you have some money to build a room?" Bai Banxia winked at Qi Zhen.
Blinked.
Qi Zhen stopped what he was doing, straightened his chest and said, "It's my job to provide the money and effort."
They had discussed this matter on the way back, but Bai Banxia's original intention was to build two houses, one for Qi Town, and she and Xiaocao would live in one.
How old is she? It’s too awkward to live in the same house with her parents, right? And we can’t keep her parents living separately, right?
However, her parents did not agree at the time, as they felt that the extra room would be too expensive and a bit eye-catching.
In the end, Bai Banxia compromised, and could only console himself that the money spent on building a house would be wasted if the family were separated, so it would be better to save a little.
"That's okay." The old lady was thinking about Qi Zhen's money, but she didn't have the nerve to say it out loud, but if the money was used to build a house, the benefits would still belong to the Bai family.
She thought for a while and then said: "If you don't live here anymore, don't ask us for the money to build a house."
"No." Qi Zhen replied.
The old lady felt relieved and went into the house to discuss with the old man where to build the house.
During the training in the evening, Bai Banxia took portions of the herbs and distributed them to everyone.
"This is the relaxation soup I prepared. You can cook it when you go home and wash it on your body. It can help relieve the fatigue of training and help you recover better the next day." She said.
Zhang An showed joy, "It's different when we have a doctor. We have special medicinal soups for training. Thank you Banxia!"
"Don't these herbal medicines cost a lot of money?" Zhao Changsheng asked worriedly. He knew that Bai Banxia's family had made some money from business recently, but no one's money came from strong winds. They were hard-earned money earned from working early in the morning and working late at night.
What’s the point of getting something for nothing?
"Qi Zhen and I went to the mountains to collect the herbs in the morning. It just took some effort. The quantity is not large. I can't afford to give it to more people." She said with a smile, "It will take a few days for your bodies to adapt to the intensity of training.
Now, there’s no need for this anymore.”
Zhao Changsheng was relieved when he heard this, but he also told Bai Banxia and the others to be more careful when collecting herbs. The mountains were quite dangerous during the day.
Everyone thanked them one after another, thinking that Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen went up to the mountain early in the morning to prepare medicine for them, and then had to be busy with their own business. It was so hard, and they felt very moved.
