Lucky husband

Mrs. Li's words were particularly sonorous and powerful, and she made a final decision, and then she turned and left angrily, no longer caring about what the Bai family and the villagers wanted.

As for the Saibai family, after Mrs. Li also left, they looked at each other and left one after another amidst the lively eyes of the villagers.

After returning to Bai's house, Bai Chen's father, who had been quiet all the way, directly asked Bai Chen to kneel in the yard: "Bai Chen, you should reflect on yourself, why such a thing happened today."

"Father, mother, grandma, I didn't do those things." Bai Chen couldn't help but argue, just now his father didn't let him explain a word outside the village, and when he came to the center of the village, his mother and grandma came over, and they didn't do the same. Give him a chance to speak.

"Who cares if you do it or not, you've embarrassed the family, should you kneel?" Bai Chenniang pinched Bai Chen.

"Look at what Li Qian and Mrs. Li mean, they want our family to marry that girl from Li's family back. What a joke, a little girl with no breasts and no buttocks, what do you do when you marry her back?" Bai Chen sat angrily. on the threshold.

"That's right, it's like bean sprouts. At the age of 12, I ate a lot and did a lot of work. I wanted to marry such a daughter-in-law when I was full." Bai Chenniang agreed.

……

Listening to his mother and grandma discussing this matter, Bai Chen opened his mouth to say a few words, but he recalled his previous experience, every time he said anything about family matters, he would be reprimanded by the elders in the family, so he just shut up and said nothing. Did not say.

Bai Chen is the eldest grandson of this line of the Bai family. His birth was originally expected by the whole family, but a series of accidents happened that day, making Bai Chen a thorn in the hearts of the Bai family.

Bai Chenniang started it in the morning. As soon as she showed signs of giving birth, Grandma Baicheng asked a nearby family to notify Lord Baichen and Father Baichen who were working in the field.

I don't know if it's because the neighbors didn't understand clearly. Master Bai Chen and Father Bai Chen were in a panic when they came back. Master Bai Chen was walking on the ridge of the field and fell straight upright in the paddy field. He lost his breath on the spot. That's the first thing.

Originally, Bai Chenniang's fetal position was seen by the midwife and said it was very correct, but when Bai Chenniang gave birth to him, she almost had a dystocia. She had a seizure in the morning until she gave birth to the baby the next afternoon. The pain caused Bai Chenniang to die. This is the second thing .

And the third thing, the night when Bai Chenniang almost gave birth, Father Baicheng accidentally fell asleep while sitting in the yard. In his dream, he dreamed that he was entangled by a monster with a human face and a snake body, unable to breathe.

The combination of these three things made Bai Chen's family think that Bai Chen was born to restrain them, and they were very displeased with Bai Chen, whether it was Bai Chennai who died of her husband-in-law, Bai Chenniang who had a difficult delivery all day and night, and Bai Chen who had nightmares. Father Bai Chen.

But Bai Chen was a boy, the eldest grandson of their lineage, so he couldn't just throw it away or do something else, so he had to continue to raise Bai Chen.

He has been subjected to cold violence from his family since he was a child, and no one would take the initiative to talk to him at home, because he was poorly dressed and thin. The habit of thinking things over in your mind.

After the separation of the Li family last year, Bai Chennai and Bai Chenniang once talked about the Li family in the house, and joked that the Li Qian family did not treat their daughters as human beings. , Said that they felt that the two girls of the Li family were very pitiful.

These words were heard by Bai Chen, and he thought of himself, he was a boy, but it was inappropriate to say that his third younger sister had a better life than him, and although he had to do things, at least Nai and Niang would not beat and scold her at every turn .

Inexplicably, Bai Chen has a feeling of sympathy for Li Mingchun and Li Mingxia, both of whom are disliked by their families.

In fact, Bai Chen did not understand the situation and misunderstood. Qian Xinghua was the only one in the Li family who was always dissatisfied with the two girls all day long. The other Li family members were quite good towards Li Mingchun and Li Mingxia.

Therefore, when the village gathered everyone to catch fish in the shallow river, Li Mingchun almost fell down. It happened that Bai Chen was nearby, so he quietly reached out to help her, but there were so many people at that time that no one noticed. that scene.

Later, when he was cleaning the canal, he happened to be not far from Li Mingchun. At that time, seeing Li Mingchun about to fall into the canal, he stretched out his hand in full view of everyone.

But this time, Bai Chen didn't notice Li Mingchun, because when he was hunting the wild boar, the pole was arched by the little wild boar, and his wrist felt uncomfortable, so he was rubbing his wrist.

Kneeling on the ground, Bai Chen carefully recalled the whole incident in his mind.

He still clearly remembered Li Mingchun's surprised expression when he caught him, which showed that she didn't fall on him on purpose.

That's strange, he walked on the road well, Li Mingchun stood there without moving, how could she fall down?

Bai Chen didn't see Li Mingchun many times, but the few times he saw Li Mingchun, he felt that Li Mingchun's temperament should be restrained, not ostentatious, lively, thinking of the words that Li's aunt said at the beginning , Bai Chen made a bold guess——

It was Li's aunt who pushed Li Mingchun to him.

When everyone was arguing, Bai Chen noticed Li Mingchun's expression and also saw Li's aunt's movements. At that time, he was a little puzzled. After making this bold guess, he understood the joint.

Thinking of what Li's grandma said when she left, that he had to marry Li Mingchun, Bai Chen recalled Li Mingchun's way of doing things quietly with his head down, and suddenly felt that marrying her was not a bad thing.

Because he has always been neglected at home, at this age, Bai Chen has never privately fantasized about what kind of wife he will marry in the future. He only hopes that his parents and grandma will not marry him a girl with problems. Girls with problems don't need to pay a bride price when they propose, which can save a lot of money for the family.

If his future daughter-in-law is Li Mingchun, Bai Chen thinks she is pretty good for her quiet work.

A boy, 15 years old, no matter how precocious and sensible he is, he only thinks about his future daughter-in-law and never thinks about the family behind her. will not be calm.

Kneeling in the yard of her own house, the scorching sun was shining on Bai Chen's back, and her back was burning hot, sweat was streaming down her temples, but Bai Chen lowered her head and smiled softly.

At this time, Village Chief Bai was taking the strong men of the village and four wild boars to the county seat.

Along the way, many people saw them transporting four wild boars that were occasionally bleeding. All kinds of sticks, knives, and some thoughts were suppressed.

Village head Bai had no experience in selling prey. Before he set off, he asked Zheng Liehu a few words. Zheng Liehu told him the name of a restaurant, and he took the villagers directly to that restaurant.

Coincidentally, this restaurant was the one where Li Chengzhi had sold two live chickens before, and the waiter of the restaurant was still the same as last time, looking at the street in a daze at the entrance of the restaurant.

However, it is estimated that the movement of their group was relatively large. This time, the waiter in the shop did not wait for Village Chief Bai to come forward to ask. He saw them first.

Even though he guessed that they were coming to sell prey, the waiter still raised a standard smile and asked enthusiastically: "Brothers, are you going to the top or staying in the shop?"

"No, no, no, we're here to ask if your store accepts wild boars. These wild boars just died and are very fresh." Village Chief Bai showed the wild boars on the two carts.

"Received, please wait a moment, I will invite the shopkeeper to come over." The waiter in the shop is very attentive, and in this special period, if someone comes to sell prey, they can't wait for the restaurant.

The four wild boars, one big and three small, are all wild boars that were killed normally, no problem.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant came over to take a look, looked at the obvious arrow hole on the wild boar, and asked quite satisfied: "Guys, do you keep the blood of this wild boar?"

"No, the stream ran out when the pig was slaughtered, and there was no more." Village Chief Bai replied.

"Unfortunately, wild boar blood is a good thing. If you encounter wild boars next time, you can keep the pig blood." The shopkeeper sighed, "The appearance of wild boars is good. How about it, the big wild boars cost me 85 renminbi a catty." The whole pig is collected, and the small wild boar is collected as a whole pig with 91 catties, do you think it is okay for this brother?"

At this time, the price of domestic pigs was sold at 65 to [-] yuan a catty on the black market. The price of a whole pig would be cheaper, about [-] yuan, but wild boars are more expensive, not to mention that a pair of pig stomachs is worth a lot of money. The shopkeeper The price is fair.

The meat quality of the big wild boar is slightly inferior, while the meat of the small wild boar is much better. It is made by the chef of the restaurant, and it is fat but not greasy. As long as the news of the restaurant’s acceptance of the small wild boar is sent out, many old people from the county will definitely come to snatch it. Meat, no matter how expensive it is, wants to eat one.

The whole big wild boar weighed 230 catties, and the three small wild boars weighed 110 catties, 48 three catties and [-] catties. Add eight hundred copper plates.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant took four large silver ingots of ten taels, one silver ingot of five taels, and two small silver ingots of two taels: "Your wild boar is very fresh, and it is worth 48 taels of silver and eight hundred copper plates. , a total of 49 taels, in the future you will send your prey to our restaurant, it will definitely be enough taels, and the price is fair."

Village head Bai looked at the 49 taels of silver and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, but he was still clear-headed when he was happy, and quickly proposed: "Shopkeeper, I want to take this silver back and share it with the whole village. Ten taels of silver ingots are too It’s too big, can I trouble you to replace it with small silver ingots or broken silver coins?”

There are tens of hundreds of households in the village, and basically every household contributed to the hunting of wild boars. When he went back, he had to divide the silver according to the number of people who came out of each household, so there was no way to divide the complete silver ingots.

Hearing Village Chief Bai's request, the shopkeeper nodded in understanding, and when he took it out again, it was replaced with five small silver ingots of two taels, twenty silver dimes of one tael and thirty-eight half taels of silver beans.

Putting the money into his bosom, Village Chief Bai led the young men in the village back to the village to distribute the money.
