Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 332
Bai Chuanbai was sitting on the stool in the east room, weeping at old man Bai, now when he heard Bai Shao's call, he was stunned, not knowing how to respond.

On the other hand, Mr. Bai coughed twice, then raised his voice and responded, "It's my fifth sister... This Bai family is also your home, no one will not welcome you, don't listen to your grandma, She's old and roundabout."

Roundabout, in the Shilipu dialect, it means that a person is old and his brain is not working well.

Originally, Bai Shao was really angry with Liu Shi's actions, and she really wanted to leave here.

But now, when she first heard Mr. Bai's weak voice and a series of coughs, she couldn't bear it anymore and turned her head away.

"You old man, whoever you say is being circuitous, you are the one who is being circuitous..." Mrs. Liu stood in the unrelenting courtyard and cursed at old man Bai.

Bai Shao and Wu Shi looked at each other, they avoided Liu Shi by coincidence, entered the main room, and turned into the east room.

In the memory of those years, the house of the Bai family was considered good in Shi Mile Pu, at least it was a house of blue bricks and tiles, especially the three rooms of the main house, which were quite grand and strong, and could be regarded as extraordinarily spacious.

Now, when Bai Shao returned to the Bai House after visiting the Bai Mansion in Xieyang County, the Gu Mansion in Yanjing, and the Duke of Zhen Guo, she suddenly felt that the east room in front of her was a little cramped, a little messy, and a bit messy. It's too dark.

Although the house is still made of blue bricks and large tiles, as people walked around, a thick layer of slime had already formed on the ground, which was uneven, and it was quite rough to walk on.

The boxes and cages placed in the corner of the room were not neat, and the lids were opened crookedly, revealing all kinds of clothes with patches inside, as well as some worn-out items.

Even the small bench that Bai Chuanbai was sitting on had rotted a corner due to too long a time, it was crooked and uneven, so he could only sit against the wall to avoid falling down.

This Bai family... Look at it, it seems that life is worse than before.

Bai Shao couldn't help sighing, helped Mrs. Wu walk to the bed, bowed to Mr. Bai who was lying on the bed, and said softly, "Bai Shao has seen Grandpa."

"Hey, good boy... good boy..." Mr. Bai smiled at Bai Shao, raised his thinned arm, and wanted to pat Bai Shao's hand, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Bai Shao's low-key but delicate body. The clothes, and her admirable aura, retracted her arms again, and smiled at the fifth granddaughter, "I'm back, it's good to be back, I can still look at you again in my lifetime, it's pretty cool." OK, pretty good."

"Grandpa..." Bai Shao's nose was a little sour, "What are you talking about, let's see if you are sick, and you can live to eighty."

"Cough cough." Old man Bai covered his mouth and coughed twice before raising his head, and said with a wry smile, "It's useless, it's useless, I know my body well, and the past two years can be regarded as ruined. It won’t be cured, and I don’t want to spend that much money, it’s fine like this.”

In the Shilipu dialect, relying on means leaning against each other abruptly, which means not curing a disease.

"Father, what's the use of it? Get treatment if you're sick." Bai Chuanbai burst into tears with distressed tears, "Didn't Da Chunniang give you money? At least a hundred taels of silver this year, why isn't it enough for you to eat and treat your illnesses?" It's gone."

"Yes...yes, I know, you guys are kind enough to ask Da Chun Niang to give me money every year, but ah, something happened to Da Chun's family, Da Chun Niang didn't know what happened, and she spread bad news to others. Good news, Father Dachun beat her up in a fit of anger, and the shop couldn't open anymore. After that, the family would have no money..." Panting, old man Bai told Bai Chuanbai what happened that year.

"My miserable father..." Bai Chuanbai covered his face guiltily and cried bitterly.

Unexpectedly, after thousands of calculations, they missed out on how the old couple should live after Shiweitian went bankrupt.

Bai Shao was also a little sad at the beginning, but now she came to her senses and realized something was wrong, so she asked, "Master, this is wrong, Shiweitian can at least give you and milk 100 taels of silver every year, this 100 taels Two taels of silver, even if you two live together, it's enough, how could you not have money to spare?"

"Ah... ah... that's because something happened to Dachun's family not long after you left." Old Master Bai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"Grandpa, what you said is wrong. I came back three years ago in person. Food for the Heaven is still booming. Even if something happens right after I leave, you and grandma will have at least 300 yuan in your hands." Two silver coins, how could it not be enough for you to spend, and even look down on the state of illness?" Seeing that old man Bai actually lied at this time, Bai Shao was angry from the heart, and opened his mouth to expose the lie of old man Bai.

"This..." A trace of sweat appeared on old man Bai's skinny face, "This...this..."

"What is this, Grandpa, if you have something to say, just tell us everything, so we can use the money to treat Grandpa's illness." Bai Shao said with a deliberate indifference.

The old man Bai glanced at her, murmured for a moment, but still couldn't speak.

At this moment, Mrs. Liu on the side smashed the teacup on the table with some displeasure, and said angrily, "Why, we use our money as we want, and the pension money you gave us, how can we use it?" When can we finish spending?"

What she said was a bit vexatious, but it was very in line with Liu's temperament, so Bai Shao didn't care, just smiled, and said indifferently, "Since grandma said so, then parents, let's go back. Grandpa and grandma can do whatever they want, since we as descendants have no right to know, then we have no obligation to treat grandpa and grandma, grandma should figure out a solution for grandpa's illness earlier."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Wu Shi to go out.

Mrs. Liu's face immediately elongated, and she pointed at Bai Shao and yelled, "What the hell? What are you talking about? You are so rich now, and a piece of clothing on your body costs hundreds of taels of silver. Now your grandfather is sick. I'm dying, you say I don't care? Why are you so cruel? A wolf-hearted bastard, if I knew I wouldn't have given you food back then, I would have starved you to death early, and I could have saved some rations for my family. You disgust me now, you piss me off, you black-hearted little bitch."

"Mother..." Mrs. Wu had been silent before, but now when she heard Bai Shao being scolded, she immediately stood in front of her, stretched out her hands to protect her, and argued with Mrs. Liu, "Mother's words don't make sense. , I saved all the food for Shao’er back then, and Mother didn’t give her anything.”

"You..." Mrs. Liu choked for a moment, "You don't eat my food, so if I don't feed you, how can you feed her?"

This is a bit of arguing, and it is meaningless to talk about it.

Bai Shao pressed Wu Shi's hand, pulled her behind him, and said to old master Bai very calmly, "Is the master really not going to say it? Is this money for my uncle or fourth uncle?" .”

"You... how do you know?" The old man Bai who had been hanging his head looked up at Bai Shao in surprise when he heard these words.

Bai Shao smiled and said nothing.

It was only then that old man Bai realized that he had been cheated, and immediately lowered his head helplessly, and sighed weakly, "Hey... fifth sister is still so smart..."

"Father..." Bai Chuanbai also came to his senses at this moment, he walked out of the heartache and recovered his ability to think, "Father, the money is for you and mother's pension, why did you give it away? ? Even if you give it away, the family has not been doing well in the past two years, and you have become so sick, so they didn't come to see you?"

"Ah... I just feel sorry for the child..." Old Master Bai smiled wryly, "Your eldest brother has had a hard time these years. He took a child with him and failed to find a wife. Later, he settled down with General Qian. The family is having a hard time. As a father, I see that the children are not doing well, can I not care? So I gave them a little of the money you gave me, but I didn't expect... Chang Shan, this child, actually I started to gamble, and the more I gambled, the more I gave them. All the money I gave them was used to fill the gambling hole. The boss came to me again and asked for... I had to give it, but in the end..."

As a result, after going back and forth like this, the old couple actually suffered from hunger.

It would be fine if Shi Weitian continues to operate, no matter how you say it, there will be a dividend every year, which is enough for Mr. Bai and Mrs. Liu to eat and wear warmly.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Mr. Bai and Mrs. Liu dared to give most of the money to the Bai Chuanqiang family, and they didn't save much.

However, who would have thought that food for the sky fell, the dividend money was gone, and Mr. Bai and Mrs. Liu fell into a difficult situation all of a sudden.

Immediately afterwards, old man Bai fell ill, and he wanted to ask his eldest son for some money for medical treatment, but Mrs. Qian didn't give him any money.

Not only that, because she hated the old man Bai's attempt to immerse her in a pig cage, she actually drove the two old men out alive without telling Bai Chuanqiang.

In this way, when he had no money for medical treatment and was furious, old man Bai couldn't afford to get sick.

Counting it now, he has been lying on the sick bed for more than a year.

The originally healthy old man, because he did not exercise often, his body muscles have almost atrophied, and now he can't even get up when he thinks about it.

Moreover, according to the observation of a little medical skill that Bai Shao learned from Linglong, although the old man Bai can still speak and breathe, if he dies, it really won't be very far away.

In other words, Mr. Bai is already dead, and his life is not long...
