Chapter 293 Frog at the bottom of the well, short-sighted villain
Now the old lady was finally in a better mood. She waved to Bai Shengyu, told him to come over, gave him a piece of candy, and stuffed him with a handful of copper coins.
"This is the red envelope grandma gave you. You can buy snacks with it," the old lady said.
"Thank you, grandma." The elder was grateful for the gift, and Bai Shengyu accepted it generously.
He walked up to Bai Banxia again and handed the copper coins to Bai Banxia, "Sister, help me keep the money so I don't lose it."
Bai Banxia reached out and touched his head, "Be good, my sister will help you save it for you to marry a wife in the future."
"It's still early." Even though he was always calm, he blushed when he mentioned marrying a wife.
Qi Zhen twitched the corner of his mouth, why does Banxia like to help others keep their wife's book? It seems that she hasn't mentioned it to him recently?
Now that Bai Tian has adopted an adopted son, Mr. and Mrs. Bai Shui have nothing to talk about. Mr. Bai continues to talk about the separation of the family.
"Second brother, you asked your brothers to help you repay the debt you owe, so the house and the land have nothing to do with you in the future. As for how to make a living, it is your own business." The old man said cruelly, "I also hope you can repent. In the future
Don’t get involved in gambling again, lest you harm others or yourself.”
Mrs. Xu sat down on the ground with a cry and howled, "How are we going to live as a family in the future? We were told to separate our families, but the result was that we were forced to leave the house. My poor son was even injured. This is not going to destroy us."
Have you forgotten the end of the road?"
Baishui also had red eyes and said with hatred: "Dad, are you so heartless? Are you going to force me to death?"
The old man was angry again. He wanted to scold him but couldn't find the energy. The old lady hurriedly held the old man down and helped him and said: "What do you still miss your father? I paid back fifty taels of silver for you. This is called not caring about you."
?We have already filled the coffin, what do you think of us? Do you want to chop off our old bones and give them to you?"
"No one is forcing you to pay back the money. Aren't there a lot of capable people in your family? You know the county magistrate and you are a coach, so you don't have the ability to prevent the Lu family from forcing you to pay back the money?" Baishui said shamelessly.
Mrs. Xu cried and went to pull Sanlang away, "I have pity on our mother and son, we can just jump into the river now."
People watching the fun pointed at each other and said, "Why do the Baishui family have the nerve to cause trouble?"
"We should just give him as much money as he needs to pay off his debts, and it's not enough to send him into exile without knowing what he's good for."
"It's really not a thing. Our farmers have never ruined their family property like this. The fields have been sold because of him, and the roots are gone. He still doesn't think it's enough."
"You have to have a good talk with your children and grandchildren when you go back. You must not get involved in gambling. No amount of family property can withstand the torment."
"Look at Baishui's intentions. He still wants to take on the Lu family's debt. You are really shameless."
"I feel sorry for Ban Xia's family. With only fifty taels of silver, I can't wait to sell pancakes and fruit for a long time."
"..."
Mrs. Xu didn't care what others said, she still pulled Sanlang hard, pretending to pull Sanlang to jump into the river together.
"That's enough!" Saburo yelled, "Mom and dad, please stop making trouble and go to my grandpa's house first. After I recover from my injury in a few days, I will go do odd jobs to earn money. I won't let you go hungry."
His voice shocked everyone. Mrs. Xu was stunned and angrily hit him. While beating him, she scolded: "Are you stupid? What nonsense are you talking about? Who can you afford to support?"
?”
After being beaten several times, Sanlang finally pushed her hand away impatiently, "If you make trouble again, don't blame me for disowning you. I won't be able to stay in the village anymore."
"Okay, you see that your parents are in despair, so you don't recognize us? You white-eyed wolf, you are just looking at the good life of the third child's family, do you want to be someone else's son? You don't want to see if someone can like you.
." Baishui said harshly.
Saburo's expression fell instantly, and his shoulders slumped down weakly, as if he was extremely tired and weak.
Bai Banxia suddenly sympathized with him. She was really speechless when seeing such a father and mother. Although her father and mother had their own shortcomings, their love for her was not false at all. But look at Sanlang's father and mother.
I feel sorry for him, and what I said is simply heartbreaking.
"The village chief, Brother Ye, and Dr. Xu have all told me that there is nothing wrong with my division, right?" Mr. Bai was also very tired and looked at the few people who had come to testify and asked.
The old village chief nodded, "Nothing wrong. At most, Baishui will be allowed to take away the things in their own house, and the rest cannot be divided."
Mr. Ye glanced at Sanlang with a soft heart and said, "Can Bai Shengcai recover from his injuries at your home?"
Unexpectedly, Saburo spoke on his own, "I'll go with my parents so that I can keep an eye on them."
"It's hard for you." Mr. Ye understood that he had made up his mind and didn't say anything more. It would be a good thing if Baishui would listen to his son and stop messing around.
"There's nothing wrong, I'm just wronging you and me, brother." Dr. Xu also spoke.
According to rural rules, it is generally the elderly who do not separate the family. If the family really needs to be separated, the elderly will follow the eldest son.
Seeing his parents like this, Bai Tian felt very uncomfortable and said, "From now on, I will have to worry more about my elder brother and sister-in-law to take care of my parents, but we will also stay with them. In addition, we will give the old man two taels of money to support him every month."
He didn't specifically discuss it with his wife and daughter, because he knew that his wife and daughter would definitely not object.
The people watching the excitement all started to praise, saying that two taels of silver was really a lot in the countryside, and the Bai family could save more coffins, so that they would not be too miserable.
Bai Banxia nodded and said to the old lady: "Grandma, don't be sad, I will still buy you candy money every day."
The old lady wiped her tears and said, "Don't persuade me, please advise your father, don't make him angry."
Bai Banxia went to massage the old man's acupuncture points and said softly: "Grandpa, there is no need to get angry for unfilial people. You should take care of yourself and watch Erlang brother take the scholar examination and marry a wife. Maybe you can also watch him grow up."
Where is the officer?"
"Yes, grandpa, you are the backbone of the family. You must take care of yourself." Bai Shengming also said. At the same time, he also silently made up his mind, not only for him and He Yunlan, but also for the elderly in the family, he must pass the examination and become a scholar.
The old man was frustrated at first, but when he looked at Erlang, he suddenly remembered that if an elder in the family dies, his descendants will have to observe filial piety for three years and not be able to take the scientific examination.
No, he must hold on and not delay Erlang's future because of a prodigal like Baishui.
Thinking of this, the old man's frown relaxed and he tried to calm himself down a little.
"You are still a scholar, and you don't even check whether you are the right one. Everyone just likes to dream about spring and autumn." Baishui said angrily.
Now even Mr. Nan was angry. He looked at him and said, "You are a frog in the well, a short-sighted villain. I, Nan, know better than you whether you can pass the examination or not."
