As a result, Mrs. Ma's eyes widened and she said fiercely: "Why did I talk nonsense? I can't tell the truth anymore? Is it appropriate for a big girl to accept a big boy as her apprentice? And the boy is tall and handsome.
, who would believe it if there’s nothing fishy about it?”
"That's not what you said. Doesn't that Xiao Chen from the city also want to be our disciple of Banxia? That's because Banxia has great medical skills." The neighbor defended Bai Banxia.
"Anyone else knows how to avoid suspicion, why doesn't she understand? She's already prepared for it. But I heard about her aunt's Jinyu and fell in love with Xiao Chen from the city. But Banxia didn't agree and even tried to get her to do it.
Her aunt's family took her away." The old lady of the Ma family is very good at telling right from wrong, and what she said is true.
The neighbor was a little unhappy, and said with a dark face: "No one knows what happened that time. Stop talking nonsense, otherwise don't blame me for not caring about the friendship of the neighbors!"
When Mrs. Ma saw that this man couldn't make sense, she ran away and went to find someone else to talk to.
So soon, the rumors spread in Baoshan Village and also reached the Bai family.
Mr. Bai started to get sick again. He felt that he had lost the face of the Bai family, so he threw a tea bowl and told Bai Banxia to get out.
"Dad, our families are separated. My daughter now lives in a house built in Qizhen, not yours. Why do you tell her to get lost?" Zhang Lingzhi was not happy for the first time.
Bai Banxia also had a dark face. People outside were gossiping that shouldn't the elders in the family support her? By driving her out now, wouldn't it mean that she admitted those gossips?
Yuan Jinyao couldn't sit still. He stood up hurriedly and said, "It's my fault. I didn't think of this when I became a disciple. I should have left."
"Yuan Jinyao, once you are a teacher, you will always be a teacher. Do I, the master, agree with you leaving?" Bai Banxia became angry and raised his voice several times.
Everyone who knew her well knew that she was really angry and hurriedly tried to persuade her.
Brother Erlang also pulled Yuan Jinyao to persuade him not to blame himself and just listen to the master's arrangements.
Du Hui, who was a guest at Bai's house, was also very embarrassed. At this time, it was not easy for an outsider to interrupt her, not even if she left, but not if she didn't leave.
"I don't need you to chase me away. We are going to Maple Tree Village. When it comes to being reasonable, my grandpa is much better than you." Bai Banxia said unceremoniously.
She could tolerate the old man once or twice, but after too many times, she really didn't want to endure it anymore.
The eldest uncle was also angry and said: "Dalang, Erlang, pack your things and accompany me to your grandpa's house to stay for a few days."
Bai Shan wanted to persuade him, but after thinking for a while he still didn't speak. Banxia had done nothing wrong and had been working hard for the family, but the old man only cared about his face.
"Okay, okay, you all rebelled against me! Leave all of you, and don't come back!" the old man yelled angrily.
When Bai Banxia said she was leaving, she really meant leaving. She originally wanted to take time to visit her grandma's family, but now she could stay for a while longer.
She went over and pulled Du Hui over and said, "You agreed to stay with me for a few days, so just come with me. Let's go to my grandma's house to eat hot pot."
"Okay." Du Hui agreed hastily.
Zhang Lingzhi absolutely agreed and quickly packed up his things. Bai Tian looked at me and his mother, sighed and left.
So, Bai Banxia's family soon left the village and went straight to Maple Tree Village.
After a while, the Baishan family was about to go out, and they saw many people rushing towards the Bai family.
"She just knew that someone was going to talk to her, so she ran away quickly." Mr. Bai scolded, "She has lost all the face of the family and now she's gone. She doesn't deserve the surname Bai!"
Brother Dalang really couldn't stand listening and said, "Grandpa, you have misunderstood Banxia. Let's see what everyone says first."
Brother Erlang also said: "Banxia has no need to hide from people, and she doesn't have the temperament to hide when things happen."
Mr. Bai was so angry that he almost didn't remember it. This family was in ruins, so everyone spoke up for Bai Banxia.
At this time, everyone arrived, and someone asked where Bai Banxia was?
"Banxia went to her grandma's house in Maple Tree Village." Brother Erlang replied.
Everyone felt a little sorry, and suddenly someone asked: "Isn't it someone in the village who made Banxia angry by gossiping?"
Without waiting for the Bai family to answer, the people who came started talking all over the place.
"We should ask the village chief to pull out those gossips and deal with them properly. Why do you have the nerve to scold Banxia? Your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"
"It's not Ma's mother-in-law who is the culprit. That woman's mouth is full of excrement. Her mouth should be smashed."
"Ban Xia works so hard for everyone, doesn't it make her heartbroken?"
"..."
Only then did the Bai family understand that the villagers came not to cause trouble for Banxia, but to support Banxia and persuade her not to be angry.
I don't know why it was mentioned about Qi Zhen, so everyone started complaining.
"It's not just that Qi Zhen left suddenly, giving outsiders a chance to gossip. Some people said that Qi Zhen won't come back. Is that true?"
Elder Ye grabbed Bai Shengming and asked, "Has Qi Zhen sent a message to your home?"
Bai Shengming didn't know how to answer for a while. He wanted to lie and claim that he had it, but he couldn't lie. After hesitating like this, everyone knew that he didn't have it.
"If Qi Zhen doesn't come back, we will choose a good husband for Banxia." Mr. Ye Qi patted his grandson Ye Li on the shoulder next to him. "If my Ye Li is good enough, let him marry Banxia."
Bai Shengming was dumbfounded. Elder Ye was not the most old-fashioned among the elders in the village, but he was also very strict about rules. If he could let his grandson marry someone else, he really valued Banxia.
But why did it come to the topic of marrying into the family?
He smiled dryly and didn't dare to answer. If he refused, it would be a bit ungrateful. If he didn't refuse, he was afraid that Banxia and Qi Zhen would beat him to death.
Ever since he passed the exam to become a scholar, he has always been talking to him about things at home. He is under so much pressure. Now he just wants to go in and study. Is it okay if he doesn't want to worry about anything?
"Mr. Ye Qi, you are so cunning. You recommended your Ye Li without even saying hello. My grandson is also pretty good, no worse than Ye Li!" someone else said.
"My youngest son is handsome and strong," someone else said.
"Your youngest son is two years younger than Banxia."
"How about two years old? The female junior is holding a gold brick."
"..."
Everyone was chattering, but it was the eldest uncle who spoke up and said: "We will definitely convey everyone's good intentions to Banxia, but Banxia's marriage has to be decided by herself. Let's wait until she comes back."
Only then did everyone realize that Pinellia ternata was not there, and then the neighbors of the Bai family reminded in a low voice that it was Mr. Bai who scolded Pinellia ternata and scolded it away.
In an instant, everyone was in a rage, and one by one they began to educate Mr. Bai.
"Why are you scolding such a good granddaughter? If you don't want to give me a family, my family will be short of a granddaughter!"
"Do you believe what others say? Don't you think they are worthy of talking about Pinellia ternata? Lao Bai, you are too confused."
"Look, you scolded Banxia away. It's inconvenient for us to say a few more words to her. What if Maple Tree Village snatches her away?"
Mr. Bai's face turned red and white after being said, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart: This village is over, everyone has to speak up for Bai Banxia!
