Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 176 Who is acting with whom?

Following Liu's questioning words, all the eyes of the Bai family fell on Bai Chuanbai, making him very uncomfortable, and subconsciously shrank his shoulders.

At this time, Bai Shao's small hand was suddenly placed on his arm, Bai Chuanbai suddenly remembered what he said last night when the family came to Shilipu to give boxing gifts, secretly gritted his teeth, and straightened his waist again.

At that time, Bai Shao's children all suggested that this Mid-Autumn Festival, it is enough to send the gift, and people should not go.

But Bai Chuanbai thought that this was the first festival after the family separation, fearing that Mr. Bai would be disappointed, he gritted his teeth and asked the whole family to come over.

Then Bai Shao made an appointment with Bai Chuanbai for three chapters.

First, no matter what Mr. Liu and Mr. Bai said, the money belongs to the whole family and cannot be given.

Second, no matter what time it is, he has to stand at the front, resist the wind and rain from Liu, and protect his wife and children.

Third, don't stay after lunch, so as not to cause trouble, leave as soon as possible.

At that time, Bai Chuanbai readily agreed.

Now, when faced with Liu's aggressive words, no matter what, he can't back down.

Can't shrink back, can't let his wife and children down.

"Mother, what you said is heresy, right? These are my nieces. As an uncle, how can I not add makeup to the children." Bai Chuanbai smiled reluctantly with the corners of his mouth raised.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Shi was taken aback, Bai Shao and Bai Wei looked at each other, and secretly applauded Bai Chuanbai.

Well said, avoiding the topic of dowry, and only talking about the makeup that an uncle should give. It seems that he is talking about the same topic as Liu Shi, but in fact the meaning is completely different, which makes Liu Shi's calculation come to nothing.

"That's right, as uncles and aunts, we will definitely add makeup." Wu Shi glanced at Bai Chuanbai, not willing to let him face Liu Shi's anger alone, so he also stood up and said something in a low voice.

"You...you..." Liu's eyes widened angrily, "Third son, you've learned to be cunning too. Say, did you learn it from your daughter-in-law? When you brought her back back then, I felt that Not a good thing..."

"Mother, Xiaohui is fine." Bai Chuanbai summoned up his courage and interrupted Liu Shi for the first time, "Xiaohui was a good girl back then, and now she is a good lady, and even a good mother. Who, we've always been like this, always have been."

"You..." Liu's eyes widened even wider, the eyeballs almost fell off, and his breathing became even more rapid as if he was about to suffocate, but he couldn't speak a word.

For the first time, this good son interrupted himself like this.

For the first time, this good son didn't speak according to himself.

Liu Shi felt that she was going to pass out, she stared at Bai Chuanbai and his wife fiercely, and was about to lose her temper as soon as she slapped the table.

Bai Chuanqiong on the side coughed twice, took her arm with his hand, and begged in a low voice, "Mother, let's have a good meal, the third brother and the third sister-in-law promised to add makeup to the nieces, and it's already too late." Alright."

"Why are you dragging me? Well, good ass. He lives so comfortably. Our whole family doesn't even have a hundred taels of silver. How is your brother going to do business? Not even enough capital, and now the whole family As long as he has money, if he doesn't support the two of us, we will never be able to turn over in this life." Liu cursed at Bai Chuanqiong anxiously.

Bai Chuanbai and Wu shi on the side looked at each other, both of them lowered their heads, with some doubts in their hearts, but they both chose to remain silent.

But Bai Wei felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and asked, "Master, didn't you say you didn't do business when you sold lotus root last time?"

"Ah, I won't do it." The old man Bai who was suddenly stunned came back to his senses, and replied Bai Wei, "I said before, I won't do it, I won't do it, and I will save money to buy some land in a safe and sound manner, or cultivate land Reliable."

"Why did the grandma say that uncle has no money to do business, and asked my father to order some for uncle." Bai Wei glanced at Mrs. Liu, and said a little aggrieved.

"Ah, I can't, I can't, how can I ask the third child for money, each family makes money according to their ability, if the boss doesn't have the ability to make money, then they have to admit it, the third child has the ability to make money, it belongs to the third child, they are all separated. "Grandpa Bai seemed to see it off, and waved his hand at Mrs. Liu, "Old lady, don't even think about it, let's forget about the business."

"...Even if the business is not done, the children in the family are all old, Chang Shan is 17 years old, we should say we are married, and the eldest sister, second sister, and Erlang, these children are all here. You are old, go and use your old face as money to marry your grandson-in-law." Mrs. Liu yelled at Mr. Bai unceremoniously.

There was a look of embarrassment on Mr. Bai's face, and he begged Liu Shi in a low voice, "It's a big festival, can you stop talking about these things? Can't you just spend the festival quietly?"

Liu snorted coldly, and closed her mouth in an unexpected compromise, but her attitude was still obvious - she would not let it go.

Seeing this, old man Bai frowned, with a distressed expression on his face, but he couldn't speak, so he sighed, choked down the liquor in the bowl, and then asked Bai Shao to scoop him another bowl.

"Father, drink less, too much alcohol will hurt your health." Bai Chuanbai felt sorry for Mr. Bai, and couldn't help but persuade him a few words.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's a big festival, it's okay to drink something." Old Master Bai waved his hand at him, took the wine that Bai Shao handed over, raised his neck, and poured down another bowl.

Liu squinted and snorted coldly beside him, "I know how to drink, and you also know how difficult it is. What's the use of drinking, it's as if money can fall from the wine."

Old man Bai ignored her, raised his neck, and poured down another bowl.

"Mother, please don't say a few words." Bai Chuanbai was grateful to old man Bai for protecting him just now, so he couldn't help but stand up and say a few words for old man Bai.

"Well, it's so rare that it's not you, why should I say a few words less, you don't need two daughters and one son, we have six or seven children waiting in our family, we are poor, you are rich, you are a rich man , naturally they don't understand our difficulties." Liu said in a strange way.

Bai Chuanbai lowered his head in embarrassment.

Wu Shi on the side tugged at his arm, not allowing him to say anything more.

The whole family lowered their heads and began to eat sullenly. They said it was a meal, but in fact, Bai Shao's family rarely moved their chopsticks, so they just pretended that they couldn't eat anything at all.

When the meal gradually came to an end, Bai Chuanbai said to the old man who was already a little drunk, "Father, well, there is still something to clean up in the shop, we'll go back first, and come to see you later when we have time, okay? "

"What, let's go now?" Old Man Bai suddenly raised his head, looked at Bai Chuanbai sadly, as if he wanted to say something, his lips twitched for a moment, and finally lowered his head again, and waved at him, "Go Come on, let's go... let's go."

Looking at his father like this, Bai Chuanbai felt sore in his heart, and couldn't help but whisper, "Father, in fact, you don't need to worry about these things, when the time comes..."

Before he could say anything else, Bai Shao behind him suddenly stepped on the air and fell down. Bai Chuanbai heard the cry of the little girl, and was so frightened that he wanted to forget everything, so he quickly went back and hugged the little girl. Distressed, "Where did you fall? Does it hurt? Where did you fall? Why are you so careless? Let me see, is your skin broken?"

Bai Shao didn't speak, but curled up in Bai Chuanbai's arms and sobbed softly.

"Come on, let me see if you sprained your ankle." Seeing this, old man Bai also stretched out his hand to help Bai Shao take a look at her ankle.

But just when his hand was about to touch Bai Shao's ankle, Bai Shao suddenly moved his foot away, as if he refused to let old man Bai approach.

"What's the matter, your master can't recruit you anymore." Mrs. Liu snorted coldly beside her.

In the dialect of Shilipu, Zhao means Tongpeng.

"Father, it may be that you smell too much of alcohol. Shao'er must have been frightened, so she refused to let anyone touch her." Seeing that old man Bai's face was also a little displeased, Bai Chuanbai hurriedly excused his daughter.

At this moment, Bai Shao started to cry again, tears rolled down her tender white face one after another, seeing Bai Chuanbai feeling distressed and not knowing what to do.

"Father, I think my sister wants to go home." Bai Wei reminded in a cold voice beside her.

"Come back, come back right away, father, mother, let's go first." Bai Chuanbai immediately walked out with Bai Shao in his arms.

"Hey, hey, the third son..." Mr. Bai stood at the door of the main room, wanting to keep the third son, but Bai Chuanbai was so heartbroken by the crying of the little girl, he didn't notice what was going on here, and hugged Bai Shao In three steps and two steps, he left the gate of Bai's house and got on the mule cart.

The family went back just like that.

Just go back...
