Chapter 78

Bai Jinli didn't seem to know that she just bought a teapot for Mr. Bai and it became his capital to show off.

And because of this teapot, old man Bai was having fun for several days in a row. When he had nothing to do, he went out for a walk on the street, and even brought the teapot to continue showing off.

At this moment, when she came out of Mrs. Li's house and passed the kitchen, Mrs. Zhang was still washing the dishes.

"Sister-in-law, come to my room after washing the dishes in a while, I have something to see you."

"Hey, okay." Mrs. Zhang quickly responded.

When she knocked on the door and came in, Bai Jinli handed over the money for selling embroidered handkerchiefs today.

"Sister-in-law, the shopkeeper of that embroidery shop said that your work is very good. If you have finished embroidery in the future, feel free to send it over. The price is 130 ren for a handkerchief."

"This...so many?" Mrs. Zhang obviously didn't expect this result, and was a little frightened.

"It's okay, after all, your embroidery is really outstanding, and it's worth the price."

"Thank you." Mrs. Zhang thanked in a muffled voice, blushing a little.

Afterwards, she took out half and handed it to Bai Jinli.

"Lizi, it's really hard work for you, you can take the money."

"Well, that's fine, then I'll take it first."

Bai Jinli had almost understood Zhang's temperament, and knew that if she didn't take the money, Zhang would definitely be embarrassed to trouble her in the future, so she simply took it.

Sure enough, the next moment I saw Mrs. Zhang let out a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is so good, you can definitely teach Baimeng."

"Well, I did have this plan, but I've been busy all the time, and I really don't have time. I'll wait and see for a while."

"Yes, nothing else."

"Then Lizi, you rest, I'll go back first." Mrs. Zhang hastily bid farewell.

In the afternoon, Bai Jinli asked Bai Mo to find out where Er Fatty and the others lived.

Coincidentally, the place where Er Fatty and the others live now is in the same place as their old house, and not far away.

There used to be several families on that street, including the Wang family.

The Wang family also moved out because of the addition of people in the family. The previous house was small and dilapidated, and it was not enough to live in.

Now that the family is separated, Er Fatty and the others have returned to their old house instead.

After finding out the address, Bai Jinli took the things specially bought for the old house, and by the way, the two pieces of medicine and walked towards the old house.

One side of their old house is a vacant place, and the other side is Li Manman's house.

The fifth house from Li Manman's house is where Er Fatty lives now.

Bai Jinli originally wanted to knock on the door, but when she saw the dilapidated wooden door that couldn't be closed, she yelled straight away.

"Er Fatty, are you home?"

"Boss, why are you here? What do you need from me?" Er Fatty ran out with a puzzled look on his face.

"Well, you don't know yet, do you? Our old house is now my site. I'm going to go to work for a while and come over to see you. Why, don't you invite me in for a while?"

"Boss, come in quickly." Er Pang led her in.

Bai Jinli looked back and forth in this room a few times, seeing the dilapidated furnishings than their previous home, she didn't say much.

In the room, Mrs. Tu was lying on the bed coaxing the child. Wang Tiezhu probably went to work in the field and was not at home.

Seeing Bai Jinli appearing, Mrs. Tu greeted Bai Jinli enthusiastically and kept saying thank you.

"Auntie, you can lie down, I'll just take a look, it's okay."

"Er Fatty, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and pour some water." Mrs. Tu greeted.

"Boss, don't mind, we just moved back, and we don't have all the things." When he handed over a chipped bowl, Er Fatty's face was obviously embarrassing.

"Well, come out with me later, I have something to tell you." Bai Jinli took the bowl and drank some water, then walked out.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Standing outside, Er Fatty asked her.

"Er Fatty, you said that you have worshiped me as the boss for so long, why didn't you know to come and help me? Do you think I accepted you as the younger brother for display?"

Bai Jinli's sudden scolding startled Erpang and Tu Shi in the room.

"What are you looking at? Do you really think that I, Bai Jinli, are such an easy person?"

"I..." Er Fatty lowered his head slightly, unable to express his feelings.

"Let me tell you, starting today, you go fetch water, sweep the floor and water vegetables for me, and do whatever I ask you to do. If you don't obey, don't blame me for hitting you!"

Mrs. Tu in the room became more and more worried as she listened, and couldn't help but want to get out of bed to have a look.

"Understood." Er Fatty nodded.

"Hmm, these are the rewards I paid you in advance. Let me tell you, if you take these things, don't ask me for wages or anything. There is nothing."

With a cold snort, Bai Jinli handed over the two medicines.

"Why are you in a daze, don't take it!"

"Thank you." At this moment, Er Pang bit his lip and said softly.

What else did he not understand?

Bai Jinli was deliberately being so aggressive with him, just to make him not feel burdened to accept the medicinal materials she gave her.

They had just separated, and the family was poor and had no money.

Although the doctor said, let his mother rest well, otherwise there will be danger at any time, but they have no money, and they really have no money to buy medicine.

He and his father were so worried that he even wanted to sell himself to the county to work as a long-term worker in order to exchange some money for his mother to see a doctor.

While discussing this matter with his mother, Bai Jinli came.

It is impossible to say that you are not moved.

Bai Jinli saved his mother's life twice in a row, and now it's even more timely. This friendship is something he will never forget.

"Hmph, when you're done working these two days, remember to come find me to work. The address is next door to Li Manman's house. I'll go back first."

Er Pang watched Bai Jinli's back go away, his eyes were a little red.

He carried the medicine into the house, and Tu Shi asked him worriedly what happened and why Bai Jinli was upset.

Er Fatty opened his mouth to explain something, and Tu Shi felt a little guilty at once, and then he opened his mouth apologetically.

"Er Fatty, Bai Jinli is a good person. From now on, whatever she asks you to do, you should be obedient."

"Well, I know."

Er Fatty nodded solemnly, opened the medicine, and there was a note on it, which said the method and time of how to decoct the medicine.

He decocted a batch of medicine according to the above method and time, waited for it to cool down a little, and fed it to Tu Shi to drink.

After a while, Rice also ran over to look for him.

He didn't say anything, just stuffed a few steamed buns into his hand, turned around and ran away.

Er Pang stood holding those steamed buns for a long time, then turned and went back to the house.

Bai Jinli came to the old house alone this time, and immediately closed the door after entering.

She bought a lot of things, kitchen utensils, essentials needed in the house, and a small dustpan and so on.

While putting things away, there was a knock on the door.

Bai Jinli opened the door, and the person standing at the door was Er Fatty.

"Boss, I'm here to work to pay for the medicine."

"Doesn't your mother need to take care of her? Didn't I tell you to come back to me in a few days?"

"It's okay, my mother insisted on letting me come here."

"Okay then, go get me some water." Bai Jinli was not polite either.

"Okay." Erpang nodded happily, and went out with a shoulder pole and two buckets.

Taking advantage of this time, Bai Jinli washed the large water tank that had been left in the yard with the remaining water at home.

When Er Fatty returned from carrying water, Bai Jinli said directly.

"Your task today is to help me fill the water tank, and then help me put those things in the kitchen later."

"Okay, no problem." Er Fatty nodded, turned around and continued to fetch water.

During the process of carrying water, several households saw his figure and couldn't help looking at him for a while.

When those people found out that Er Fatty was actually working for Bai Jinli again, they started talking back and forth.

"Hey, did you see, isn't that man Erpang? Why did he fetch water for Bai Jinli? Could it be that Bai Jinli forced him?"

"Very likely. Who doesn't know that Er Fatty's family just broke up, Er Fatty's mother is in poor health, and the family is in great distress. This Bai Jinli will take advantage of the fire, but it's too much to bully people at this point." .”

"Hey, it's not easy to think about this Er Fatty. He is being bullied by Bai Jinli now, and he has no one to help him. What a pitiful little boy."

"How about you go and help her?"

"Don't dare, that's Bai Jinli's house. I'll help Erpang. What if Bai Jinli doesn't like it and comes over and tears my hands off?"

"Hey, this Bai Jinli is really scary. Do you know that, I heard from the wife of the Wang family that Bai Jinli made a big fuss at their house a few days ago."

"what happened?"

"..."

Several people quickly discussed other matters.

There will never be a shortage of gossips in this world.

On the surface, they pretend to see through everything, and they speak good things for the weak in various ways to show their bodhisattva hearts.

But as soon as they got down to business, they backed down and found all kinds of excuses to excuse themselves.

If they really had that kindness, it would be more than just lip service.

Even if he was afraid that Bai Jinli would not dare to tease her face to face, he could secretly ask Er Pang to ask about the situation.

Or if you really want to help, go directly to deliver food and drinks to Er Fatty's house.

These are what Er Fatty needs most now, okay?

I don't understand anything, just guess based on what I saw, and then accuse others with righteous words on my face, it's really out of character.

This kind of person can only be a gossip for the rest of his life.

Bai Jinli didn't know about this, and even if she knew, she didn't want to make excuses.

Because at this moment, she is cooking noodles in the old house.

The water tank in the yard was huge, and Er Pang took a dozen trips to fill it up.

Sweating all over, Er Pang was standing under the big tree in Bai Jinli's house to rest, when he heard her shout.

"Er Fatty, come over and help light the fire."

"Here we come, boss."

Hearing this, Er Fatty hurried over.

"Here is some cold boiled water, take a sip first." Bai Jinli said as he handed over a ladle of water.

"En." Er Fatty took it and drank it in one gulp, feeling that the water seemed to be extraordinarily clear, and his fatigue was also reduced a lot.

Gaining strength, he began to help light the fire.

"Boss, what are you doing?"
