Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 6 Tell the truth
Bai Shao suddenly fell silent.

Indeed, in the situation just now, Bai Shao had so many uncles around, but Wu Shi was the only one who kowtowed blood for her.

Xiao Baishao's uncle Qian, who was very close to her before, didn't even show her face.

"Okay, Wei'er, stop talking." Seeing Bai Shao's depression, Wu quickly interrupted Bai Wei, "Shao'er, don't think too much, your sister just has a bad temper, I turned around and said to her, don't take it to heart, in fact, your mother and uncle love you...they...they also have difficulties..."

Having said that, Wu Shi sighed again.

Bai Wei stood aside, gritted his teeth a little resentfully, "Yes, yes, they are all good people, they have never bullied you, my grandma has never scolded you, my aunt has never run on you... they are all good people !"

After finishing speaking, without looking at Wu Shi and Bai Shao, she turned her head and walked out.

"Wei'er, what are you doing?" Wu Shi stood up anxiously.

"Go and wash the shepherd's purse." Bai Wei dropped the four words without looking back, and took his younger brother Bai Yunshi to leave.

Mrs. Wu sighed, and said in a low voice, "Your sister has such a temper, she is a bit hot-tempered, and she usually suffers from being scolded by you, but now she is actually much better than before."

After finishing speaking, he touched Bai Shao's face affectionately, "Actually, mother wants you to get close to your aunt. Your aunt is smart and deserves your milk. You can also enjoy more light and suffer less." ..."

At first, Bai Shao didn't understand what the so-called suffering meant.

After waiting for a while, around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Shao understood after Liu's energetic call came from the main room.

"The third daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, it's time to cook."

Seeing Mrs. Wu busy with the big pot in the yard with the gauze on her forehead, cleaning the pot and chopping vegetables, Bai Shao frowned, "Why are you cooking alone?"

In general, when a peasant family cooks, several sisters-in-law help each other. How can there be a person like Wu, who cooks pots and cooks, and almost takes care of all the work.

"Your uncle's health is not good, and your second uncle's leg is broken. Your second uncle has to take care of your second uncle. If mother doesn't cook, whoever cooks..." Wu said with a good-tempered smile.

"But, where is my fourth aunt?" Bai Shao's eyes widened in confusion, "My fourth uncle is alive and kicking."

"Sixth Sister is too young and needs someone to take care of her." While talking to Bai Shao, Mrs. Wu quickly lifted the lid of the pot and poured the vegetables she had cut into the pot, "Besides, your fourth aunt I have been spoiled since I was a child, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do these jobs."

One by one is either in poor health or takes care of others, or is too delicate to work.

All the work of the emotional family is on Wu's body.

Bai Shao's eyes fell on Wu Shi's slightly thin body, and finally understood why Bai Wei's anger came from.

"Mother, let me help you." Bai Shao glanced at the main room, then at the white gauze wrapped around Wu's head, finally chose to squat down, and took the fire stick from Wu's hand.

When she was still Gu Wanqing, she was not loved by her family.

Because she was a superborn, most of the time, Gu Wanqing always lived with her grandparents.

She is used to the old-fashioned yard, the quaint ground pot, and these pot-burning jobs.

Even if she was taken to the city later, she earned enough money to go to college and worked for several years, she still firmly remembered the knowledge of burning fire.

After Bai Wei washed the shepherd's purse, she came back to see that she was actually helping the Wu family to light a fire, obviously she was a little surprised.

But soon, she passed the shepherd's purse to Mrs. Wu as if nothing had happened, and then silently cleaned the bowl aside.

The simple-minded Bai Yunshi scratched his head, and chose to help Bai Shao get the firewood.

For a dinner, the four mothers cooked it together, and finally made it.

And old man Bai and Bai Chuanbai finally stepped into the house at the moment of dinner.

The old man of the Bai family is called Bai Jingsheng. He is about 54 or 40 years old. He is not tall, but his back is straight and he is full of energy. He is not like an old man in his fifties, but rather a middle-aged man in his [-]s.

Speaking of which, this old man of the Bai family is one of the best in Shilipu.

It's not that the Bai family is so rich and rich, but because Mr. Bai knows how to take medicine.

It is said that there was a series of wars in Anyang County, and many crops were destroyed. Farmers could not grow the land, could not harvest food, and many people died of starvation.

This Bai Jingsheng escaped from Shilipu with his brother after his parents died of starvation. It is said that he went to the county town to beg for a living.

During this period, Bai Jingsheng accidentally lost his brother.But because of his cleverness, he was selected by a drugstore and made a boy who fetched medicine.

The so-called, you will naturally understand after watching too much.

Although Bai Jingsheng didn't become the doctor who sits in the court, but he took medicine for a long time, and he always caught some minor illnesses with ease.

Later, Bai Jingsheng missed his lost brother, so he resigned from his job as a medicine man, took the money he had saved, and returned to Shilipu to settle down.

Most of the country people are poor, and those who suffer from headaches and brain fever are not willing to spend money to hire a doctor.

Old man Bai knows how to see a doctor, and he doesn't charge a fee for the consultation, as long as he brings some gifts to the door, everyone loves to come to see him.

Over time, Mr. Bai's prestige in Shilipu has accumulated, and the Bai family's life is not bad. Generally speaking, he is considered a high-class family in Shilipu.

But now, this upper-class family is going to sell her little granddaughter to be a maid.

What's more, the one with sinister thoughts simply sold her to a brothel.

Bai Shao held the freshly served rice, lowered her head, concealed the displeasure in her eyes, and called out together with Wu Shi and Bai Wei, "Father (father)."

"Hey, hey." Maybe it's because he's used to being a clerk, old man Bai's voice is loud and sonorous, and he's full of energy, and he's pretty strong and healthy.

"Are you back?" Upon hearing Wu's and the others calling, Liu quickly lifted the curtain of the main room, and strode up to old man Bai, "How is it? Yujin and the others are doing well?"

While talking, intentionally or unintentionally, she stood in front of Bai Shao.

"Okay, it's good." Old Master Bai handed the basket behind him to Bai Chuanbai and asked him to put it behind the door, while he followed Mrs. Liu into the main room.

During this period, Liu always stood in front of Bai Shao, never allowing Bai Shao and old man Bai to face each other.

After entering the main room, he even sent his fourth aunt Xu to take the food from Bai Shao's hands, and then drew down the curtain with a defensive look.

Bai Shao understands that she deliberately prevents old man Bai from seeing the bruises on her face.

In other words, Mr. Bai probably didn't know that the fifth granddaughter of the Bai family was sold.

Thinking of this, Bai Shao's eyes lit up instantly.

However, in an instant, she thought again that she was always going to eat in the main room, and Mr. Bai would always see her face in the end, so what's the point of Liu's temporary cover?

Bai Shao closed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then came to her senses.

Mrs. Liu is going to strike first!

First "explain" the matter from her point of view to Mr. Bai, and then Mr. Bai will not have too much emotional ups and downs when he sees her bruised face.

Unexpectedly, this old lady is quite resourceful!

Naturally, Bai Shao didn't want to stay where she was and wait to suffer, so she raised her hand and lifted the curtain to enter the main room.

In the end, he only took two steps before he was blocked by Mrs. Xu with a smile on his face.

"Fifth sister, your grandma asked you to get the wooden chopsticks." The fourth aunt Xu is only in her early twenties this year, her limbs are slender and her appearance is fair, and she speaks in a soft voice, rejecting the woman's arrogance. Don't look at the bun, the whole looks like a little girl who hasn't left the pavilion.

"That's it, okay..." Bai Shao knew that Xu Shi came to block her deliberately, first she stood obediently, and waited for Xu Shi to think that she was obedient and was about to turn around and leave, then suddenly bent down and held her hand. With a skinny figure, she bent directly under Xu's arm, "It's just that, fourth aunt, my sister has already gone to get it, so I won't go."

Bai Shao turned her head and gave Xu a sweet smile.

Then, they went straight to Mr. Bai and Mrs. Liu.

"...The little girl from the third family has been acting like a moth recently..." Mrs. Liu is suing Mr. Bai.

"Grandma, what's wrong with me." Bai Shao ran to old man Bai and stood still, and said with a smile, "Is grandma going to discipline Shao'er? Then Shao'er has to listen carefully and remember, so I can change it later."

I heard from Mrs. Wu that Mrs. Liu's daily manners are full of everyone's demeanor, and she even requires everyone to advance and retreat appropriately, etc., one of which includes the requirement that "the elders should not interrupt when the elders are talking".

Therefore, Bai Shao deliberately said those words to show that she came to listen to the teachings, so that Liu could not pursue her fault of "interrupting the conversation of the elders".

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Fifth Sister has become well-behaved." The old man Bai was drinking with his head down, when he heard Bai Shao's words, he raised his head in relief, and just about to praise Bai Shao, he was stopped by her bruised nose and swollen face.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Mr. Bai asked in a low voice.
