"I heard Third Brother's classmate Li Jin speaking ill of Third Brother and Fourth Brother under the wall?" Bai Zhaomei said.
Xiao Fuyuan raised his face and looked at the white wooden board and the old lady Bai. Look, Fifth Brother is not the kind of person who causes trouble for no reason.
"What did he say?" Zhen asked.
"It's said that the third brother was always in trouble with Shopkeeper Xu's daughter and finally abandoned him, and failed the Xu family's upbringing; that the fourth brother was opportunistic and didn't rely on his own ability to go to Huaishui Academy..." Bai Zhaomei was still angry when she thought of this.
Dalang said from the side: "I heard it too, and there are even worse words."
Sanlang clenched his fists and said, "The fifth uncle came to argue with him. He scolded the third uncle and the fourth uncle in harsher words, so the fifth uncle beat him."
Old Mrs. Bai's face darkened. She could imagine how disgusting those curse words were.
"It deserves a beating," said the old lady Bai.
Bai Banban asked: "Did Lao Wu hurt him?"
Bai Zhaomei's strength is obvious to all. She can lift tigers and big rocks. Isn't it easy to lift a scholar?
Bai Zhaomei shook her head and grinned: "It's not hurt, but it will make him scream when he walks in pain. This is the first time I've used the moves my master taught me on someone."
Thinking that Li Jin's skin and flesh were intact but he was screaming in pain, Bai Zhaomei felt very good.
"Just hit, as long as you're not hurt. We can't suffer losses in anything. We'll take action when it's time to take action." Bai Banban said.
Bai Zhaomei, uncle and nephew nodded.
Bai Dazhuang asked Dalang: "What were you doing when your fifth uncle beat him?"
Dalang said: "We are having a fight. My third brother and I started a side fight, naturally so that it would be easier for our fifth uncle to hit him."
Bai Dazhuang nodded and said: "That's right. We don't bully others outside, and we are not afraid of others bullying us."
Mrs. Bai and Bai Ban said that Da Zhuang was right.
Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook her head slightly.
After thinking about it, he said to Bai Zhaomei: "Don't blame your second brother for punishing you. He is a master in school. When students fight, he naturally won't take sides. He punishes you for your own good."
Bai Zhaomei nodded and said: "I don't blame the second brother. The second brother cares about me. He asked me privately if I was injured and gave me a few big bucks to buy meat buns to eat."
Xiao Fuyuan clapped her hands and said, "Second brother is right, fifth brother is right, and so is fifth brother. They are all right."
Xie Chuntao said from the side: "We are not afraid of Li Jin, and don't provoke him. Fifth brother, if you bear with me, in a few days the private school in the village will be opened, and you won't need to go to the town."
"Really?" Bai Zhaomei, uncle and nephew asked.
"It's true." Zhen smiled.
"Very good."
The three uncles and nephews cheered. They went to the town to study for a few days, and the usual freshness faded away. They felt that it was very hard to get up early and come home late. It would be great to be able to study at home.
"Then I will have more time to learn kung fu from my master." Bai Zhaomei said.
"I still want to learn how to tilt the spoon from Uncle Liu." Sanlang shouted excitedly.
Eugene Gui happened to come in with a pair of chopsticks. Hearing Saburo's words, he felt the urge to strangle him to death.
After meal.
As soon as the sky darkened and the heat dissipated, Mrs. Zhen gave little Fuyuan a bath and took her to visit the village chief's house with Mrs. Bai.
Xie Chuntao and Qiuniang were washing pots and dishes, while Chuntao was still immersed in the excitement of Erlang's legs being able to stand up.
Eugene Gui sneaked into his room on the pretext that he wanted to sew clothes for Saburo.
At this time, Wu Langzhong called Xie Chuntao across the yard.
"Sister-in-law, go ahead. I can do this job myself." Qiuniang pushed Xie Chuntao out.
Xie Chuntao came to the door of the yard and saw Wu Langzhong holding a piece of cloth in his hand. He said to Xie Chuntao uncomfortably: "Sister-in-law, I have something to ask you for help."
Xie Chuntao thought Wu Langzhong was looking for her to explain Erlang's affairs, but she didn't expect it was something else, so she smiled and said, "If you want to help or not, just ask."
Wu Langzhong wiped the sweat from his head and said: "My son goes to school every day these days, and both pairs of shoes are worn out. I want to prepare two pairs of shoes for him with thick soles that are not easy to wear out. You know that my mother's workmanship is too rough. I don’t want to go to the next village to trouble his aunt for this matter. People in the village say that your craftsmanship is good, so I want to ask you for a favor. "
Wu Langzhong raised the cloth in his hand.
Xie Chuntao thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter.
Making shoes couldn't be easier for her. Wu Langzhong put so much effort into Erlang's legs. She had made clothes for the Wu boys before.
Now that Erlang's legs are healed, she is willing to make more shoes for the Wu boy, let alone two pairs of shoes.
Poor Wu Chaojing lost his mother when he was born. Doctor Wu treated so many patients, but he could not save his wife.
"That's troublesome, sister-in-law." Lieutenant Wu handed the cloth to Xie Chuntao.
Xie Chuntao took it and said, "What other cloth do you bring? I have it here."
He reasoned in his mind that the breathability of this cloth was not very good, and a grown man like Mr. Wu probably wouldn't pay attention to such minutiae.
She planned to cut a few feet of her own cotton to make two pairs of shoes for Wu Chaojing.
Eugene Gui guessed that Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen had already gone out, so she took Saburo's unsewed clothes and came out of the room to get some air.
She was not good at needlework, so going to her room to do it was an excuse.
Seeing Xie Chuntao and Wu Langzhong standing at the door talking, my heart moved slightly.
Step by step to the kitchen.
Qiuniang was arranging the washed dishes neatly when she saw someone standing at the door and raised her head to meet Eugene Gui's face.
"Second sister-in-law." Qiuniang shouted.
She knew that Yu Jingui was not easy to get along with, and there was Bai Erzhuang in the middle. Ruoyouruowu was hostile to her, so she usually avoided Yu Jingui as much as possible.
"Qiuniang, you are really capable." You Jingui looked Qiuniang up and down.
Qiuniang smiled, wondering what Eugene Gui's compliment meant.
"It's just washing pots, washing dishes, and cooking. It's nothing." Qiuniang said.
That's because there is no man in Lao Bai's family who needs your pleasing skills. Eugene Gui thought disdainfully.
"Qiuniang, I see that you are good at needlework, but I am not good at it. Please help me sew some clothes for Sanlang. He wears them in school." Eugene Gui said.
It turned out that this was the reason why I was looking for her.
"Second sister-in-law, please put the materials in my and sister Yuanbao's room. I'll go sew for him after cleaning the kitchen." Qiuniang said with a sigh of relief.
But Eugene Gui stood still and continued to find something to talk about.
"Qiuniang, what are your plans for the future?" Yu Jingui looked concerned.
Who is Qiuniang? She has been trained to be obedient and obedient. She immediately became alert when she heard what Eugene Gui said.
"I am an orphan girl, and I can be taken care of by the Bai family. All I want is to take care of the whole family and serve little Yuanbao in the Bai family from now on, and I will be satisfied." Qiuniang said.
Eugene Gui was surprised and said: "Do you want to die in Lao Bai's house? Look at your appearance. Except for my sister-in-law, no one in Hecun is as good-looking as you. You can cook, wash and sew. You Don’t you want to marry someone?”
Qiuniang raised her eyes and said nothing.
The abacus in Eugene Gui's heart crackled.
Bai Erzhuang immediately returned to his private school in the village. He and Qiuniang were old friends. Even if the two of them don't have feelings for each other now, there's no guarantee they won't in the future. She can't help it.
She was disliked by Bai Erzhuang and was still in the inspection period of Heli.
The unstable factor of Qiuniang must be eliminated so that she can have a daughter with peace of mind.
These days, she has been thinking about who to mate Qiuniang to.
If Wu Langzhong hadn't come to see Xie Chuntao, she wouldn't have remembered it.
Wu Langzhong's wife died and he left behind such an eldest son. Which young lady would be willing to be his second wife? It just happened to be Qiuniang's turn.
According to Wu Langzhong's character, as long as Qiuniang is willing, Mrs. Bai will definitely be happy to see it happen.
"I don't have such thoughts." Qiuniang said coldly.
