Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

"My dear fourth grandson has been snatched away by you. You still have the nerve to come and eat and drink from me. You are so shameless and impatient that you know how to bury others!" The old lady was still worried about the guests outside. Although her words were unpleasant, The voice was deliberately lowered.

But the kitchen was not only occupied by the Bai family, but the cook was also there. The cook was a middle-aged man. He couldn't help but frown when he heard the old lady's words, but pretended not to hear anything and continued busy with what he was doing. .

Originally, Bai Ruozhu didn't want to be on the same level as the old lady, but when she heard her mentioning Xiaosi and using the term "dear fourth grandson", Bai Ruozhu became angry.

"Xiao Si is no longer a child. If he is willing to stay, no one can take him away. Don't forget that it was the county magistrate who asked him who he wanted to live with. No matter what our family does, we can take care of his food and clothing, let alone Beat and scold him, he will know who is sincerely treating him well, so he will naturally be willing to let us go." Bai Ruozhu also lowered his voice and retorted.

The old lady snorted and said: "He is a fool. He can't tell the difference between good and bad. He was just cheated by you for giving him three melons and two dates."

When Bai Ruozhu heard this, he became even more angry. He glared at her and said, "Grandma, what qualifications do you have to call Xiaosi stupid? Don't forget how you hit the good child on the head with a spatula and got sick! He's just a little boy." If the child eats a few more mouthfuls when he's not full, you can beat him half to death. Now, don't you think it's hypocritical to talk about your own grandson?"

The cook next to her curled her lips. This old lady was so stingy, it was really possible for her to do such a thing.

"When did I hit him? When did I hit him?" The old lady seemed to be hit in a vital point, and her voice couldn't help but become louder.

Lin Ping'er felt tired of the taste, so she pulled Bai Ruozhu and said, "We don't want to eat anything from you. We are just afraid of embarrassing you by standing outside. In this case, we will go out." After that, she pulled Bai Ruozhu away. Got out.

When Bai Yihong saw Lin Ping'er and Bai Ruozhu coming out of the kitchen so quickly, he sighed silently in his heart, and thought about having an early meal and going back to his yard to get some food for them, so as not to starve themselves.

When Bai Lu saw it, he waved to Bai Ruozhu and said, "Girl Ruozhu, haven't you eaten yet? You're still breastfeeding the child. You can't be hungry even for the sake of the child."

Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, "Grandpa Patriarch, I've already eaten."

Bai Lu knew that she hadn't eaten, so he waved and said, "Come here, don't be afraid to eat more. Second Grandpa will bring you a pancake." As he said this, he grabbed two pancakes and gave them to Bai Ruozhu, and then said, "You and your mother Let’s eat together, I’ve noticed your children, if my parents don’t eat, I won’t eat either.”

Bai Ruozhu smiled gratefully at Bai Lu, took the pancake and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Patriarch."

Bai Fu, who was at the table over there, snorted coldly, and finally couldn't help but said: "What do you worry about her doing? She has big ideas now. She said she wants to withdraw from our Bai clan, so why should she eat our Bai family's food?" ?”

Bai Lu looked at Bai Ruozhu in surprise and asked, "Why did you really say such a thing?"

Bai Ruozhu smiled bitterly, "Doesn't this mean that my family will not be included in the family tree? My husband-in-law came into the family by marriage, and the children all have the surname Bai after me. If they can't be included in the family tree, I can only follow my children and find another way. What I do Mother, you can’t just leave your son outside alone, right?”

Bai Lu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Who said you won't be included in the family tree? I, the clan leader, have the final say on this matter, right?"

Bai Ruozhu snickered in her heart, hehe, I knew the patriarch would say this.

"Second brother, do you have to go against me? Can't I, the head of the family, have the final say?" Bai Fu stood up suddenly and said loudly to Bai Lu.

Bai Lu looked surprised, "Huh? So it turns out you didn't include your great-grandson in the family tree? How could I have thought it was you who did it? How can I be right with you?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the people nearby hurriedly tried to persuade Bai Fu. Bai Yibo rolled his eyes and leaned into the old man's ear and said, "Dad, let's talk about this later. It will make them happy to have a quarrel now." "

Bai Fu took a deep breath, yes, this was the banquet he had arranged, and it was embarrassing for him to make a scene that was not good-looking. Bai Lu and the others were eager to see the joke.

Finally, he snorted and sat back in his seat, continuing to talk and laugh with the others, but he didn't look at Bai Lu again.

Bai Ruozhu took the pancakes and shared them with her mother. The two of them ate some pancakes to satisfy their stomachs, but Lin Ping'er felt that the taste was far different from her own hand pancakes, and the taste was tasteless.

When Bai Ruozhu saw her mother's appearance, she secretly laughed at herself for making her mother so naughty. She didn't know how popular this fried cake was on the table, and her family would not think it tasted good.

Bai Lu took advantage of the time when the cook was serving soup and quietly said to Bai Yihong: "I heard that you have set up a stall in the town? I will go and sit there someday."

"Okay, it's settled, uncle, you must come." The two exchanged glances quickly, and they both understood that the other had something to say.

The banquet ended safely. Bai Lu took Bai Zeji away with him on the pretext that he had something to do at home. He was the first to leave, so everyone could understand his attitude.

Bai Ruozhu's family also followed the guests to say goodbye, so as not to be late and unable to leave.

After leaving the old house, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Yihong felt sorry for his wife and daughter, so he said, "How about we go back to the yard to cook something to eat? You can go back to town after you finish eating?"

Lin Ping'er looked at Bai Ruozhu. She was not hungry, but she was afraid that Bai Ruozhu would not be able to get enough milk if she was hungry.

Bai Ruozhu hugged Deng Deng, who was already asleep, shook her head and said, "Let's go back to town quickly. We can set up the stall in the afternoon. I'll just go back to the west courtyard and eat some hand cakes."

"That's right, let's leave quickly to avoid being called by grandpa to lecture him later." Bai Zehao shrank his neck and muttered: "It was so uncomfortable when I sat next to him just now. I looked at him and was holding back a lot of breath. I’m sure it’s going to happen to us.”

The whole family thought it made sense, and hurried to the entrance of the village to stop the donkey cart and drove back to the town.

On the way, Bai Zehao mentioned Bai Zeji and was very optimistic about Bai Zeji.

"Ze Ji is very diligent in studying, but it's a pity that he can't find a good husband." Bai Zehao said with emotion, "The patriarch of the family has suffered a lot in the past, so the children in the family have nothing but a bowl of water. Whoever wants to study is allowed to do so. It's a pity that the conditions are limited after all, and the villagers can't find a good teacher, and several cousins ​​​​can't read the results, so they didn't want to live a good life farming."

"Zeji is the best-educated person in his generation. Even so, the clan leader did not favor him. On the contrary, several cousins ​​​​took the initiative to support him, saying that there was no way their family could produce a scholar. Zeji I am very grateful for this, and I studied very hard, but I just couldn’t find a good way.”

Everyone nodded as they listened. If Bai Zepei had not met Mr. Xie, it would be difficult for him to be admitted as a scholar now.
