He saved money in ancient times to marry

The siblings soaked more soybeans and steamed the bean dregs with salt. This was considered a dinner, but in the past, Bai Qing would not be willing to eat so much in one meal.

Mrs. Liu came over just after dinner, and said a lot of vitriolic words, which meant that the Bai family siblings were nothing, and they didn't know how to send some to his family after cooking, and they just sold the money to spend on their own.

Thinking of the two pennies at home, Bai Qing hesitated for a while, Bai Li blocked her behind, closed and opened his eyes, tears fell, he cried aggrievedly: "Aunt Liu, it's not that we are stingy, It’s because our siblings really don’t earn money, and we don’t have money to honor you. We sell tofu for beans. How can we have money? If you don’t believe me, look at our house, there are only beans left, why don’t you get some Douzi go back? Don’t embarrass us anymore, we really have nothing left~”

As he spoke, he sobbed and cried miserably, wailing intermittently that a child without a father and mother was like a grass, and the villagers who passed by Liu's house came to take a look curiously. Forget about it, but at the end of the day, he did carry a jar of beans back.

Seeing Mrs. Liu gone, Bai Li immediately stopped crying, pulled Bai Qing back into the house and closed the door, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I have something to tell you."

Bai Qing was also very surprised to see her brother's sudden change of face, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Li said softly: "Did you just want to hand over the two Wen to Mrs. Liu?"

Bai Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Bai Li sighed softly and said, "Sister, that's our money, why should I give it to her?"

Bai Qing lowered her head and said, "We live in their house, we eat and drink for nothing, how dare we save money by ourselves."

Bai Li stared wide-eyed: "Why are you eating and drinking for free? Look at the calluses on your hands, aren't they all worn out by his family's work, my good sister!"

Bai Qing looked at her hands, feeling sad in her heart.Although the siblings of the Bai family are children exposed to the wind and sun in the village, they are all the best in appearance, as if the scorching sun and wind and sand are not enough to destroy their fair and juicy faces.

It's just that those hands, which should belong to a delicate girl, are now covered with calluses and the palms are yellow.

There was even a thimble on one of her fingers, Bai Li gently took off the thimble, and said distressedly: "Sis, starting tomorrow, I will get up early every day to make tofu and sell it in the town, in exchange for money and food to support my sister, you Don't do needlework day and night anymore, your eyes are tearful, isn't it because you are tired?"

Bai Qing folded her hands and said, "I know your kindness, but if you offend the Liu family, what if they don't let us live here?"

"Then I won't live."

Bai Qing was slightly taken aback.

Bai Li said: "We can't always live under the fence and be bullied by others. If we save more money, we can move out sooner."

Bai Qing looked at her younger brother who seemed to have grown up overnight, and nodded slightly after a while: "Okay."

The next morning, the siblings got up and took the beans soaked overnight to the mill to grind them into soy milk. After returning home, they boiled one bowl for breakfast, and made the rest into tofu.

Liu Daniu left early in the morning, and Bai Li hurried out after the tofu was ready. This Liu Daniu was not as bad-hearted as his mother. Even though he knew that Bai Li was selling tofu, he just told him not to break it on the way Don't do what he wants.

The road to the town is not far away, and they arrived in half an hour. It was just in time for people to go out, so the two found a place with a lot of traffic and sat down. Bai Li opened his voice to sell, and someone came over Look, his tofu is tenderer than other people's, and it sells faster. When his tofu is sold out, Liu Daniu's firewood is also sold out. Liu Daniu said: "Today is selling faster than in the past, probably because of your tofu." For the sake of recruiting people, let's stay together tomorrow."

Bai Li put away a small string of copper coins and replied, "Okay."

After a while he said again: "Brother Big Niu, I will help you go up the mountain to cut firewood every day from now on, and all the money you sell will belong to you. Can you do me a favor?"

Liu Daniu: "What's the matter?"

Bai Li smiled wryly: "Help me cover it up in front of Aunt Liu."

Liu Daniu was taken aback, shook his head apologetically and said: "My mother is like that, and she is indeed making things difficult for you. Well, I will help you cover it up. You save your money to buy some delicious food for your sister."

Bai Li didn't understand the meaning of these words for a while, and after returning home, he made tofu with Bai Qing and sold it in the village. The villagers' purchasing power is limited, but they all traded for beans. This is an important source of raw materials, so even if they make less One point, the Bai family sisters still insist on making some, but this time they remembered to leave a big piece for the Liu family. Liu wanted to say something, but it was probably said by Liu Daniu. At this moment, his lips moved, but he didn’t say anything. .

When the weather cools down, Bai Li follows Liu Daniu up the mountain. At this time, there are wild animals on the mountain, so he dare not go by himself.

Liu Daniu worked quickly and with great strength, and quickly chopped a large bundle of firewood. Bai Li looked at the small handful of firewood in his hand and was speechless for a long time.

With the craft of making tofu, the life of the Bai family siblings is like seeing light in the dark. In less than ten days, the two have earned 84 coins, and they are not willing to spend any of them, so they hide them.

After the autumn harvest, Liu Daniu stopped selling firewood, and Bai Li went to the town by himself. One day, Bai Li came back from selling tofu, and when he entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. He saw Bai Qing's eyes were red, as if he had cried, so he hurriedly asked What happened.

Bai Qing was startled and frightened, and said: "Today I handed over the mended clothes to Mrs. Liu. According to what you said before, I asked her to quit the mending job, but she refused and said many nasty things."

"Liu's mouth has always smelled bad."

"She doesn't speak well, and I'm used to it. I thought I'd get scolded to make it up, but I didn't expect old man Liu to come forward and say that to Mrs. Liu, and then comforted me not to be afraid, and let me come back."

Old man Liu is different from Mr. Liu in temperament, he is always kind. Whenever Mr. Liu makes things difficult for his siblings, Mr. Liu will usually help them out. Bai Li thought for a while and asked, "Then what?"

Bai Qing burst into tears: "Then I felt so sorry, I went to the corner to get a broom to sweep the yard, but I didn't expect to hear them talking inside the house."

Bai Qing sadly said: "It turns out that they had a plan long ago. The Liu family is vicious. They let me take over all the housework in their family with such a big fanfare. The reason is to let outsiders think that I am already a family with them. She asked me to wash the whole family." The clothes are just for the women who wash clothes by the river to know that I do laundry for Liu Daniu, and force me to marry into his family and change my name to make it more reasonable."

"Marry into his family?" Bai Li was startled suddenly.

"They have already made plans. They are kind to us by taking us in. If I marry Liu Daniu, I don't even need to give a dowry, which will save me a lot of money. From the very beginning, Liu planned to make me get used to doing this housework. Why did Mrs. Liu agree to let us keep our own money? It turns out that he made up his mind to wait for me to marry into their family, and the money will still be theirs..."

"It's so sinister!" Bai Li said angrily, "That's why that old man Liu treated us well just to show outsiders. Come here, we are embarrassed to refuse, and we have no choice but to marry you into the Liu family?"

Bai Qing nodded slightly.

Bai Li was stunned, isn't this an ancient PUA, this pair of old things still have such thoughts!

fuck it.

Bai Li walked around the house twice, and said: "The Liu family and his wife are vicious, we can't stay here for a day, sister, let's go?"

Bai Qing bit her lower lip, even though she had always been submissive, she couldn't bear it now, she nodded without any hesitation.

The reputation of ancient women is very important, Bai Li knows this very well, the two of them have less than a hundred coins, and they will not go too far, if rumors spread, saying that Bai Qing does not know how to behave, Bai Li will not be happy Care, but also consider how Bai Qing will gain a foothold in the future.

So he asked Bai Qing to pack up his things, while he ran to the field. At this time of autumn harvest, most of the villagers were working in the field.

Bai Li found the Liu family's land, and saw that the Liu family and his son were working, but the Liu family was not there. He waved his hands at the police and shouted: "Uncle Liu, Brother Big Niu!"

Liu's father and son raised their heads in the middle of the ground and shouted in surprise, "What's the matter, Brother Bai?"

Bai Li said loudly: "Isn't it that my sister and I are moving out today, so I have to give you the recipe for making tofu quickly. You have to make it yourself and learn it before I can rest assured!"

He said this as if he had made an agreement with the Liu family to leave today, and as if he had made a decision to give the Liu family the recipe for making tofu, causing the surrounding villagers to stretch their necks to watch the excitement.

The Liu family father and son were stunned for a moment, Liu Daniu was honest and honest, he didn't know why, the old man Liu was very thieves, his eyes were fixed on Bai Li, the young man was thin and innocent, he stood by the field with squinted smiles and looked at him, the old man on his chest He took a breath, cursed in his heart, and could only say: "Why are you in such a hurry, okay, I'll let Daniel go back and learn from you."

Bai Li laughed and said, "I won't change things that have been decided long ago, Brother Big Niu, let's go!"

Liu Daniu looked bewildered, and followed Bai Li home at a loss, only to realize that he pulled Bai Li suddenly and asked, "Are you leaving?" Bai Li smiled: "Yes, we will leave in a while." The soy milk is already cooked Yes, the step of almost physalis can be done in less than half an hour.

Liu Daniu swallowed his words again, he likes that Bai Qing, soft and good-looking, but he also knows how his parents—especially his mother usually make things difficult for Bai Qing, and he wants to keep her, but he can't open his mouth , can only feel sad, sigh and shake his head.

Mrs. Liu also got the news, and ran to the side room to scold her, but she didn't know where to start, so she could only rummage through the luggage of the Bai family siblings, muttering not to take his things, and wait for Bai Li to start ordering. When making tofu, she also came to watch eagerly.

The Bai family siblings had no luggage, only one or two sets of clothes for a change of clothes, and a suitcase. The old quilts borrowed by Mrs. Liu and them were neatly folded on the kang. The whole room was cleaned spotlessly, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Bai Li carried the empty package in one hand and his sister in the other, and left under the complicated gazes of the Liu family.

A piece of tofu recipe blocked Liu's mouth, Bai Qing took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Although I have no place to live, I always feel much lighter in my heart."

Bai Li smiled and said: "That's right, we are free, and the days to come are still long. Let's go to the county to find a place to continue making tofu, and we will be able to live on."

Bai Qing was very surprised: "To the county?"

"That's right!" Bai Li walked around after selling the tofu these days, and found that the consumption power of the people in the town was very limited, and various resources were not too rich, so he went to the county town twice.

The county town is more lively, and there are many more interesting and delicious things. More importantly, the living environment is good, the roads are flat, the greening is also good, there are many pharmacies and medical centers, there are schools and entertainment venues, and there are many business opportunities. The cost of living is slightly higher.

But Bai Li is confident about this, since the tofu shops in the city can keep their breakfast stalls open, he and his sister can find a way to make a living.
