Just as Mrs. Xu finished speaking, the sound of wheels came from far and near.
Who is coming? While listening to the excitement at Grandma Xu's house, the young sentries in Erdaohe did not forget to abide by their duties and give orders.
This excitement is not for nothing, the half-grown Taobao boys have learned a lot of curse words.
Several children suddenly jumped out from the trees, startling the Bai family who were about to enter the village.
Seeing that it was the Bai family who came, many villagers in Erdaohe Village became confused.
The Bai family is a rich peasant family famous for its talents in eight villages in ten miles and far away.
I heard that the family members are very united and have a total of more than 200 acres of good farmland, as well as several businesses such as an oil mill and a kiln. Even though he lives in a village, he still has a reputation in the town.
It's also the Bai family who gave Liu Laozhu a lot of stone pots, vats and jars on credit some time ago.
Basically every house in Erdaohe Village buys at least the same thing on credit.
So the villagers thought: It’s over, are they here to ask for an account?
Bai Guitang, the head of the Bai family, saw so many villagers watching and several women wiping tears at the entrance of the village. One of the women had her hair so scratched that it looked like a cockscomb. He understood that there was a quarrel.
Bai Guitang took his fifth brother and his fifth younger brother and sister out of the oxcart.
Just when the villagers thought that the Bai family was looking for Liu Lizheng, Bai Guitang asked: "Excuse me, fellow villager, may I ask which family is named Hao? Hao Xianghua's family?"
Mrs. Xu turned her head and looked over, thinking:
Is she already so famous for her debts?
Also, her family owed the most money to Lao Bai's family.
"I am."
As Mrs. Xu agreed, Bai Guitang's fifth younger brother and sister stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Xu's hand: "What's going on? Do you need help?"
Mrs. Xu looked at the woman in her early forties in front of her and said calmly: "No, it's nothing serious, just break off the relationship. Who are you?"
Break off the relationship?
"..."
Bai Lao's fifth daughter-in-law smiled for a moment, then hurriedly adjusted her expression and said, "I'm younger than you, so I'll call you sister. Sister Hua, have you finished the engagement? After that, let's go into the house and talk."
His intimate gesture puzzled the villagers.
What shocked everyone even more was that after Bai Guitang asked which yard was Hao Xianghua's house, he started unloading the cattle cart.
What I saw was a basket full of eggs, half a piece of pulled pork, a jar that everyone guessed was oil, and two bundles of fine cloth being carried into Xu's courtyard, which made the women in the village widen their eyes and envy them.
Is this for free? That designation is yes.
You won’t just take it into the courtyard and show it, and then take it away after you finish it.
And Bai Guitang also asked Xianghua: "Which ones are your sons?"
Mrs. Xu pointed at the grain, warehouses and silver. Bai Guitang followed Mrs. Xu's pointing and looked back. He patted the shoulders one by one and said with a smile: "Good boy!"
Before closing the door, Mrs. Xu specially smiled and said hello to her fourth uncle and the villagers, saying that there was a visitor at home, which meant that everyone had dispersed, and there was no time to argue or lively.
That’s it for today.
It can be seen that she has become reserved, and she has to be more tactful when speaking to the villagers who helped her family before, instead of just waving her hands to criticize them.
Before closing the door, Mrs. Xu made a point of looking at her old woman and her sister-in-law.
Although Mrs. Xu still doesn't know why the Bai family brought gifts to her door, it doesn't make her angry.
"If this was all right, I would bring you some eggs, cut pieces of meat, and tear pieces of cloth. It's a pity that you have to take the single-plank bridge and let me take the Yangguan Road. You also said that no one should borrow from others. Our family is Something good is coming, you think it’s a coincidence, tsk tsk.”
With a bang, the door closed, and there was no time to care about what was going on outside.
The old lady almost fell over and fainted from the anger.
The old lady wanted to faint at the door of her second son's house.
I thought: Let’s see what Hao can do to her.
If she didn't like it then, she would have to be carried and served in the house. The doctor would have to invite her and feed her. If she didn't believe it, she would dare to drug her to death. If the drug didn't kill her, she would lie on the kang and continue to scold Mr. Hao. But before she could pretend to be faint, she He was interrupted by the Bai family who suddenly appeared.
I'm so shocked. That's the Bai family that every village in the world wants to be friends with. Even if we don't get any benefits, meeting the Bai family and talking to us is still a face-saving thing, not to mention there are so many good things.
When she finally recovered from the shock, she was about to introduce herself to the Bai family as Hao's mother-in-law and the grandmother of the three boys. She also wanted to ask why she came to deliver gifts, but Hao actually closed the door for her. Besides, he also talks nonsense in a weird manner.
The old lady shook her body twice and almost fell down this time.
Seeing that the old woman was about to faint, Gu Sufen not only did not step forward to help her, but she kept thinking in her mind: If she is about to fall down, it would be best if she is completely confused by being so angry that she can turn around and knock on the door. The mother-in-law is angry with the second wife, so her private money always has to be given to her first wife, and she still needs the second wife to take care of her.
And from now on, the second house will have a reputation of being unfilial. No matter why the Bai family came, it will also make the old Bai family have a bad impression of the second house.
When Gu Sufen thought of all the meat, eggs, and delicious clothing materials, her heart was scratching like a cat's claws, and she wanted to go into the house and mess with it. Her man can't even talk to the head of the family named Bai, so why should he know that bitch Hao?
It's a pity that the old lady only shook her body and stood firm: "Let's go, what are you doing? I won't care about them anymore."
"mother?"
"Are you leaving or not!"
It can be seen that the old lady is not confused at all.
The old lady really wanted to tease her second daughter-in-law. She wanted to pay back the words that Mr. Hao scolded her today a hundred times a thousand times. She even slapped her with a loud mouth and taught Mr. Hao what a mother-in-law is and what a daughter-in-law is, because she was a daughter-in-law.
But that doesn't mean she will ignore her three grandchildren.
Isn't there such a saying? There are many ways to get to know more people. It is good for the three grandsons to make friends with the Bai family.
The old lady thought to herself: The Bai family has more than 200 acres of high-quality farmland. If they are hired to work in the autumn harvest, they can make money. On weekdays, if they can help escort trucks to transport oil and the like, they can still get paid. Even though she felt very cold towards her three grandchildren at the moment, she was still thinking about this in her heart.
Mrs. Hao closed the door, but none of the three grandchildren opened the door to ask her how she was doing after she returned. It must have been instigated by the conscienceless Hao.
So no matter how angry you are, you can't miss the good things of the three eldest grandsons. They are the legitimate grandsons, so we can make trouble later.
Meanwhile, inside the house.
Bai Guitang and his fifth brother were thanking the three of you for saving their niece. They said that their skills were really good and they were asking who they had learned from.
Bai Laowu's daughter-in-law held onto Mrs. Xu's hand and wiped away her tears. She told how her daughter was robbed and almost had a miscarriage. Thanks to the help of the three sons of the Xu family that day, she didn't lose a penny and the bullock cart was fine. And he came back in time to save the baby in his belly.
"Sister Hua, you don't know how scared I am. If it weren't for your three boys, let's not even mention whether I could have saved the money, jewelry, and oxcart. If my daughter had a bad thing, would I still be alive?
The child came back anxiously to visit her mother. She broke her leg a few days ago. Somehow she got the idea, so she acted meanly and insisted on going back to her parents' house despite the rain. As a result, she almost got robbed and suffered a miscarriage. Our old lady was even more frightened and couldn't get up.
Today my old lady specially asked my eldest brother to take us to our house to express our gratitude.
Our old lady also said that when her legs are healed, she will come back to thank her again, and she also asked you to come and sit at home when you are free. "
As the Bai family narrated, Mrs. Xu looked at "Three You" who were shrinking their heads.
Along the way, I also encountered someone from Jie Dao, and fought with the man with the knife.
Mrs. Xu was also extremely frightened. These three sons picked up for nothing were really lucky.
Bai Guitang saw that the fifth younger brother and sister were talking about the same thing, so he told Mrs. Xu:
“Our family didn’t report it to the official, and we were worried that we couldn’t explain it in terms of money.”
The Bai family said that their most sincere gratitude to the Xu family is that we are afraid that the evildoers will complain first, so our two families should let things go first.
If one day some government officials come to ask if they have robbed money, one of them will bite her to death and say no, while the other will say... Bai Lao Wu's wife tightened her grip on Mrs. Xu's hand: "We don't know anything."
Mrs. Xu glanced at her sons who shrank even more.
What a deception. Thanks to the Bai family's fastidiousness and lack of desire to do good things for others, once the official report is full of pigtails, why don't you leave my name?
You were waiting for the guests to leave!
