Chapter 300 Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors
When the two returned to Bai's house, their father and mother had already returned from closing the stall. Mother went to Aunt Fang's house to get eggs, and father also handed over the five taels of silver given by Bai Banxia to the old man.
The old man was calling Baishan and Baitian to discuss selling the land.
"Dad, the land can't be sold. What will we eat if it is sold?" Bai Shan objected, "My wife said she could borrow some more when she returns to her parents' home."
Bai Tian also disagreed, "Yes, let's think of a solution. You have accumulated this land all your life."
The old man's eyes were slightly red, and he sighed and said, "Do you think I am willing to give up? But I can't borrow money everywhere anymore. The Bai family can't afford to lose this person!"
The old lady said next to him: "Your father has always wanted to be proud. When he gets old, he wants to embarrass such a person. This tone will not be tolerated."
"The past few years have not been very good, and no one is rich, so don't make things difficult for relatives and friends." The old man was talking when he saw Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen coming back, and said, "Girl Banxia, don't go anywhere.
Go borrow money, there is no reason why you, a junior, should go around and rack up debts if something big happens at home."
He sighed again, looking particularly tired, "I am not a good master, so just sell the land you have saved over the years. You can buy land later when you have the ability."
From the very beginning, the old man of the Bai family fled to the northwest, digging weeds and boiling bark with his children, and then accumulated farmland little by little. He will never forget the hardships he went through step by step. Now he has to sell the farmland he worked so hard to save.
, the one who is most reluctant to leave is the old man himself.
"Dad!" Bai Shan couldn't bear it, but the old man had already made up his mind. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, the third child will find a middleman in the town to help contact him tomorrow. It doesn't matter if the price is lower. Hurry up and return the money to the Lu family.
.”
Bai Tian wanted to persuade him, but Bai Banxia winked at him, indicating that he should listen to the old man first.
After this incident, the old man felt a lot worse. After saying a few words, he became very tired and went back to his house to rest.
"You just listen to your father, otherwise he won't even be able to sleep well." The old lady said to them, "You two are also capable, and you will be able to build up a family fortune in the future."
Everyone had no choice but to agree.
After returning to the house, Bai Tian pulled Bai Banxia and asked, "Daughter, do you already have a plan? So you told me not to argue with your father?"
Bai Banxia nodded, "Grandpa's decision is difficult to change, but our land is good, so it would be a pity to sell it. We will have to wait for the harvest to collect grain, and we will suffer a lot of losses."
"Isn't that right? Besides, there is no land left. What will your uncle do? Rent land for farming?" Bai Tian said.
"So I plan to find an acquaintance to buy the land, and let grandpa think it is sold to someone else. In fact, the land deed registration contains my father's name. Then I will tell grandpa that the other party hired our family to continue farming, and the land will be the same as usual, grandpa.
There's an explanation over there too." She had already thought of the candidate.
Bai Tian's eyes lit up, "This method works. Who are you going to ask for help? It won't be the little fat guy, right?"
"Then grandpa won't believe it. I know an old doctor, just ask him." She was talking about Sun Ci. If Sun Ci comes forward, the old man won't think too much.
"Okay, but don't write my name on the land deed. You earned the money through hard work. You have to borrow money and write your own name." Bai Tian insisted.
Bai Banxia didn't argue with her father. It was good to write about her so that she could make excuses if she was exposed in the future. For example, she sold a set of acupuncture techniques taught secretly by her master to Sun Ci, and Sun Ci transferred the land to
She did.
At this time, Zhang Lingzhi came back from outside, entered the room and said to Bai Banxia and the others: "Your Aunt Fang called me just now and insisted on giving me a couple of silver coins. If you don't accept it, you won't sell me the eggs."
There were still tears on Zhang Lingzhi's face, obviously she had cried just now.
"Your Aunt Fang said that this is the money our family has used to buy eggs from her these days. She would not be able to earn it without us. She also said that she would like to thank us for helping her live a better life." She sniffed and continued, "
Your aunt is here on Saturday, and she also forced me to give me a tael of silver, and my mother-in-law, these three people have agreed upon it."
"They said that our family is in trouble now, and if they can help, they will definitely help us, and they know that we have the ability to repay, so they asked us not to refuse." Zhang Lingzhi couldn't help but cry after saying, "I feel so hot in my heart.
Wow, but my eyes are sore."
Bai Banxia's eyes became sore when she heard this, "They say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so just keep it, mother, and we will return it to them as soon as possible."
While they were talking, Ma Xiaoyu came and gave Bai Banxia 20 copper coins.
"Ban Xia, this is all my private money. I know it's too little, but if you keep it, you might be able to put it to some use," Ma Xiaoyu said.
Bai Banxia was really embarrassed to accept it because it was all Ma Xiaoyu's money, but when she saw her friend's worried eyes, she nodded and accepted it.
"I will calculate the interest for you when I pay you back. You are not allowed to refuse, otherwise I won't take it." She said deliberately fiercely.
Ma Xiaoyu was stunned, and complained with red eyes: "How much interest can you get from twenty cents? Don't you always think about taking care of me? Don't you even think about yourself? Look at how difficult your family is now.
"
Bai Banxia couldn't help but rub her head, "Don't worry, I have a solution."
At the same time, many people gathered in the courtyard of the village chief Zhang An, and everyone was chatting away.
"The village chief is responsible for registering and borrowing as much as we can. It would be great if you can help a little."
"Yes, Pinellia ternata has helped us a lot. Last time my mother-in-law was ill, she had to read a lot of books on weekdays."
"Banxia also gave our children insecticides, but she paid for them herself. Just dispensing the medicines costs a lot of money."
"Isn't that right? Later, the worms were eliminated and the babies grew better. For this reason, we must help the Bai family if they are in trouble!"
"..."
At this time, Doctor Xu also came and said to everyone: "Keep your voices down. Don't let Old Man Bai know about this. I just wanted to go to Bai's house. When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I heard him say that you can't go around looking for people to borrow money. He
I need face when I get old."
Everyone sighed after hearing this. Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable if such a bad thing happened to their family? It's no wonder that Mr. Bai felt embarrassed.
"Let's just give the money to Banxia secretly, and don't mention it in the village." Zhang An said.
"Yes, don't let Old Man Bai know. He has also been hurt by this incident. It's not easy." Dr. Xu is also old and can especially understand Old Man Bai's mood.
Everyone agreed one after another, and their voices became much lower, as if they were talking to underground workers.
While Zhang An was registering, he asked his wife to collect the money. At the end of the registration, everyone's total money was more than five taels.
"As the village chief, I can't help but express my gratitude. The Zhang family will also lend me a tael." Zhang An wrote the last stroke, and then looked at the bits and pieces that added up to more than 6 taels of silver, but he felt extremely proud in his heart.
No other village is as united as Baoshan Village. Of course, Banxia girl has done a lot of good things for everyone, and everyone wants to help her from the bottom of their hearts.
