Bai Ruozhu snickered in her heart, the old man thought this was a village and wanted to show off, but who knew you were a scholar? Besides, the town is not like the village, and a scholar is not that rare. If you want to show off, it depends on whether the business people around you are willing to give you face.

If the old man knew that coming to the stall not only did not cause trouble for the second house, but also made them embarrassed, he would definitely not make such a trip.

This time, she really didn't say anything, it was none of her business!

"Mom, how many days are left until the first day of next month?" Bai Ruozhu suddenly asked Lin Ping'er next to her. In ancient times, there were no watches or calendars, so she couldn't remember the days clearly.

Lin Ping'er suddenly smiled and said, "There are still six days left. Do you think your grandpa's banquet can still be held?"

Bai Ruozhu felt that her mother had really been taught bad things by her, but she felt a little excited in her heart, "It must be possible. The notices have been sent out. My father is such a face-saving person. Besides, it was Wang who made the mistake. To him, It’s not a shame to say that you are an outsider.”

Lin Ping'er looked a little sad, "Your father definitely doesn't care about Xiaosi. Maybe he wishes that Xiaosi was an outsider, just like what your grandma just said."

Bai Ruozhu also felt sad and said angrily: "Xiaosi is smart, but they have a problem with their eyes and can't see it!"

"Yes, Xiaosi is a very clever kid, but he was tortured by them so much that he doesn't like to talk anymore." Lin Ping'er said angrily.

Bai Ruozhu suddenly remembered that when the old man and the others left, Xiao Si seemed not to be following him. She looked around hurriedly, but Xiao Si was nowhere to be seen.

"Brother, have you seen where Xiaosi went?" Bai Ruozhu asked Bai Zehao who was standing at the stall.

"No, it seems that he didn't leave with grandpa and the others." Bai Zehao looked worried. He was so young that he didn't know where he had gone. It was really hard to find.

Just when Bai Ruozhu's family was getting worried, the old man making dough over there shouted: "Here, the kid is making dough here!"

Bai Ruozhu looked over and found Xiao Si squatting in front of the dough maker's stall. Because he was small and squatting, he was not very conspicuous.

Bai Ruozhu walked over quickly, thanked the old man who made the dough, then squatted next to Xiaosi and asked softly: "Which one do you like? My sister gave it to you."

Xiaosi shook his head and said, "If you don't like it, I'll just take a look."

Bai Ruozhu felt a dull pain in her heart. He obviously liked her very much. He looked curious, but he said he didn't like it because he was afraid that she would spend money.

"A person with a face is worth a lot of money, and I have to give it to you!" Bai Ruozhu sniffed to prevent her voice from getting choked up. She followed Xiaosi's line of sight, chose Sun Wukong, and paid the money to him. The old man who made the face man put the vivid Sun Wukong into Xiaosi's hand.

"I don't want it." Xiao Si turned away a little stubbornly.

Bai Ruozhu waved the dough in front of his eyes, and while waving it back, she said, "What should I do? I've paid and can't return it. I don't like playing with it either, so I have to throw it away."

The old man who made the dough laughed lowly. Of course he knew that Bai Ruozhu was teasing his younger brother, otherwise he would not be willing to refund the money.

Xiao Si followed the movement of the man with his eyes. When Bai Ruozhu said he wanted to throw it away, he hurriedly grabbed it and said, "It can't be wasted."

Bai Ruozhu laughed, ruffled his hair, led him back to the stall, and made him another hand cake. It was estimated that the child might not have heard of it.

Sure enough, Xiao Si was eating very anxiously, as if he had been hungry for a long time.

Mrs. Laifu came over and asked Bai Ruozhu in a low voice: "What did your grandma say just now? Are the children stupid or not? What's going on?"

Everyone likes to hear gossip, not to mention Mrs. Laifu, even people at other stalls are secretly guessing. Bai Ruozhu frowned slightly. She didn't want this matter to spread to the streets, so she only let the county magistrate judge the matter in the court. She didn't want to gossip with other people, but she didn't know that the old lady just started yelling regardless of the occasion. .

In fact, there was something she didn't know. The old lady of the Bai family was just shouting in the town. As soon as she returned to Houshan Village, the old lady shouted to Mr. Wang, so the neighbors heard it. Soon the news came to Houshan Village. Word spread.

The old lady seems to be eager for others to know about this, so that people know that the Bai family will not give birth to a stupid child, and that stupid child is not from the Bai family at all. The old man didn't seem to do much to stop her. He probably had the same purpose in mind.

Later, the old lady and Mr. Wang were having a huge quarrel, so someone came to (kan) to persuade (xiao) and (hua), and the whole story became clearer.

…

Bai Ruozhu couldn't say much to Laifu's sister-in-law, so she lowered her voice and said, "This child is the most pitiable. I don't want too many people to know, so sister-in-law, please don't ask."

Mrs. Laifu understood, and she said a little embarrassedly: "I was reckless, just pretend I didn't ask."

"Sister-in-law, please don't be too polite to me. It makes me feel quite embarrassed." Bai Ruozhu felt that Laifu's sister-in-law always helped her family and she kept it from others, so she felt a little bit guilty.

Mrs. Laifu smiled and quickly moved on to other topics.

In the afternoon, Bai Ruozhu said that Xiaosi should not go back to the old house today. She was afraid that Mrs. Wang or someone would be angry and didn't know how to abuse the child. Lin Ping'er asked a little worriedly: "What if they can't find anyone and come to make trouble with us?"

Bai Ruozhu curled her lips and said: "I dare say they haven't noticed that Xiaosi is not here yet, and they don't even care whether he has gone back or not. They didn't care before, but now they know he is not his own flesh and blood, and they don't want to care anymore."

Lin Ping'er thought about it, and felt even more sorry for Xiaosi, and said, "That night, Xiaosi will sleep in our room."

Unexpectedly, Xiaosi heard it and said with a straight face: "I'm with Third Sister."

Lin Ping'er couldn't help laughing and said to Bai Yihong: "Look, we are still disliked."

After all, Xiao Si has a withdrawn personality and is not used to joking with others. He said with a dull expression: "I don't dislike you."

Bai Ruozhu was already laughing so hard, it was so funny for this kid to explain with a straight face.

The family was enjoying themselves when Wang Minglu rushed over. Bai Ruozhu hurriedly invited him to sit down and have a bowl of soup, and made him a hand cake.

"Brother Wang, I have troubled you to run around today. This is for you to eat. If you give us more money, you will look down on us." Bai Ruozhu deliberately made a serious face, otherwise Wang Minglu would definitely be polite to them. .

Wang Minglu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with some embarrassment: "Then I'm welcome." He took the hand cake but didn't eat it in a hurry. Instead, he lowered his voice and said: "We found Doctor Fu, but he If you deny this to your life or death, I'm afraid he will say the same thing in court tomorrow."
