Lucky husband

Naturally, the spectators didn't think it was a big deal, and they were so numerous that a single sentence from one person was enough to overwhelm Bai Chen's parents and grandma, who were speechless and looked at everyone with livid faces.

At this time, the instigator Bai Chen lowered his head, his shoulders were still trembling slightly, as if he was crying.

People sympathize with the weak. Seeing how pitiful Bai Chen was, the older women and daughters-in-law all spoke up for Bai Chen.

"I'm talking about Bai Wu's daughter-in-law. I'm afraid your mind is becoming more and more confused. There is nothing to be picky about such a good child. Bai Wu has been dead for so many years. What's the point of remembering a child's grudge."

"Bai Dashan, your Bai people are a big clan, and the family laws of your ancestors are kept there. In the past, no one cared about it. If your clan seriously pursues it, if you treat your eldest son like this, the rules of your ancestors will not let you go. .”

"Daughter-in-law Dashan, don't think that it will be a big deal if you give birth to two boys for the Bai family. If you are in our house, just because you treat the eldest son like this, even if you are divorced, no one can say anything! "

……

In addition to helping Bai Chen talk, they also taught Bai Chen not to foolishly give up what should belong to him.

"Stupid child, you are the eldest son. It is the eldest son's job to sacrifice ancestors and take care of your parents. You should inherit the family property after doing so much. You can't just don't want these things just because your parents like your younger brother."

"You're still young, and it's time to marry a wife in two years. If you were poor and had nothing at that time, wouldn't your wife want to suffer with you when she gets married?"

"I said young daughters-in-law just go through hardships. After all, marrying a chicken is like a chicken, and marrying a dog is like a dog. But think about the children after the two of you. Will you continue to live a hard life when you have children?"

……

The words of these mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law moved Bai Chen's heart, and a firm look flashed in his half-closed eyes. This time, he must insist, leave this home that made him feel uncomfortable to breathe, and not let Li Mingchun get along with her. The same is true of their future children.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Chen pinched his thigh fiercely again. With red eyes, he raised his head and looked at the group of people behind him: "Thank you grandmas, uncles and aunts for your concern. My parents gave birth to me and raised me like this." For many years, I should be full of gratitude to them, there is no need to compare them to me, I will definitely be filial to them."

Everyone couldn't help feeling injustice for him after listening to this silly boy's words. What is it that his parents don't need to compare with him?

To compare, it must mean that Bai Chen and his younger brother Bai Wu are both boys in the fifth house of the Bai family. One is the eldest son and the other is the second son. Normally speaking, the elder brother is the eldest son in the family, so he must be more valued by the elders.

But the two children in the fifth room of the Bai family, Bai Wu is white and tender, with a chubby face, they are very cute, while Bai Chen is black and thin, and only one tooth is white. It must be because of Bai Chen eats less and has to help with the housework, but Bai Wu eats well and doesn't have to help with work.

In addition to looks, the clothes worn by the two children are also different. The children grow up fast and change their clothes quickly. One piece of clothing is often worn by the eldest child and worn by the second child, and worn by the second child by the third child until the clothes are patched. There are so many that it doesn't look good, so they are dismantled and used as rags.

But Bai Chen's clothes in the fifth room of the Bai family were tattered and tattered. It looked like they were mended with his father's clothes and then worn for him, but his younger brother Bai Wu could have one or two new sets of clothes every year.

If the big guy didn't know that Bai Chen was born by his mother, maybe many people would have guessed that Bai Chen was a wild child that Bai Dashan and his wife picked up somewhere.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Bai Chen's life is not easy. He grows up in such a family and is so filial. It's okay for Bai Dashan and his wife to have such a child, but they still have resentment towards Bai Chen. They are both out of their heads It's flooded!

Bai Chen's father and mother were criticized by the villagers onlookers, and both of them were furious. Seeing the eldest son, who usually can't beat a fart, behave miserably and pretend to be good in front of everyone, he hated his teeth.

Anyway, he already made his parents and grandma angry, so Bai Chen simply stopped being scruples, interjected a few words from time to time when everyone was talking lively, and talked about how he was treated at home in a retreat, so that everyone would treat him more sympathy.

Such excitement naturally attracted Village Chief Bai's attention. He looked at the group of outraged villagers outside the fifth room of Bai's house with a headache, and realized that he had underestimated the determination and ability of this child, Bai Chen.

"Okay, okay, what are you all doing around other people's doors? You've all gone back. Don't stick around here. People's housework, don't interrupt if you don't know the situation!" Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Village Chief Bai, He kept shouting at the top of his voice.

Usually when there is nothing to do, Village Chief Bai's yelling like this can certainly stop the villagers. This time he yelling like this not only failed to make everyone leave, but made those women who sympathized with Bai Chen insist on pulling him and making him He made the decision for Bai Chen.

To be honest, these women don't really sympathize with Bai Chen that much, and it's not that they didn't see Bai Chen's intentions, but they looked at Bai Chen really pitifully, and there was nothing to gossip about recently. , It’s nothing too big a deal to watch the excitement one by one.

Village head Bai was so confused that he moved the clan out: "Fellow folks, this matter is a matter for our Bai people. Since everyone thinks that Bai Chen is treated unfairly by his parents, I will wait for you." In a short while, we will call the people of our Bai people to open the ancestral hall for a meeting to discuss how to deal with this matter of Bai Chen!"

Once the clan is mentioned, it means that it is serious. Since Village Chief Bai said that he wants to discuss with the clan members in the ancestral hall how to deal with Bai Chen, people with other surnames are naturally embarrassed to talk too much.

In Shanghe Village, apart from the Bai people, families with other surnames have not yet built ancestral halls due to insufficient population or other reasons. If the Bai family unites, they will not be able to get along

Bai Chen's goal was achieved, his heart was pounding, he knew that as long as the clan made a decision, let alone his parents, even if his grandma objected, he could still go outside as an apprentice to learn crafts.

Bai Chen's parents and grandma were shocked. They never expected that such a trivial matter would lead to the opening of an ancestral hall. Could it be that they did not agree with Bai Chen's going outside as an apprentice?

Village Chief Bai glanced at Bai Chen who was still kneeling on the ground: "Okay, everyone is gone, I'm going back now to gather the clansmen to open the ancestral hall, Bai Chen, can you still stand up?"

"I can!" Bai Chen gritted his teeth and raised his legs. Even if he was in a cold sweat from the pain, he would resist to stand up and knelt for more than ten days, just to be able to leave this house.

Bai Chennai was the first to react. She looked at Village Chief Bai's serious face, panicked, and sat down on the ground: "Old man, why did you die so early, leaving behind us orphans and widows? The neighbors bully... Your grandson is clamoring to go out to be an apprentice. How can an apprentice be easy to do? Raising such a big grandson to work as a cow or a horse in someone else's house is my heart... Take a look, it's just for this One thing, they want to open the ancestral hall..."

Bai Chen's father was frightened. Apart from opening an ancestral hall once a year to register the population changes in the clan, he has never seen an ancestral hall at other times since he grew up. How did he come to this point.

Hearing his mother's cry, Bai Chen's father swallowed his saliva: "Brother, village chief, patriarch, this is a trivial matter, there is no need to open an ancestral hall to talk about it..."

Village Chief Bai said with a straight face: "The matter itself is not a big deal. The problem is that this matter has attracted the attention of everyone in Shanghe Village. We Bai people can gain a foothold in Shanghe Village because of our good reputation, but you treat Boy Chen like this. , has a great impact on the reputation of our clan, we must open an ancestral hall to illustrate the importance of this matter."

Village head Bai is the head of Shanghe Village and the current head of the Bai people. At the beginning, he offered to let Bai Chen go to his wife's natal village to learn carpentry skills. The elders of Bai Chen's family disagreed. Never mind.

But when Bai Chen made a big fuss about this matter, causing rumors all over the village, that had a different meaning, and had a big impact on the Bai people.

Originally, Shanghe Village was a village with mixed surnames. Bai Chen didn't want to listen to his parents' advice and farm the land honestly at home. His parents also never agreed with him going out to be a carpenter's apprentice. This matter has not been resolved, and Bai Chen has been making troubles. Going down, people with other surnames are waiting to see the jokes of the Bai people.

The people of the Bai people have always been united. Recently, because of Bai Chen’s incident, there are actually several views within the Bai people. If something happens at this time, for example, some people provoke a few times so that the Bai people will no longer be united. It is uncertain whether the Bai family can continue to control the right to speak in Shanghe Village if the Niu family's surnames unite again.

In fact, there is another very important reason - Bai Chen's fiancée is a girl from the Li family.

In Shanghe Village, although the Li family has a small population, their weight is not low. One is an official working in the county government, and two students who passed the Tongsheng examination.

Needless to say, Li Chengshi, how much convenience he has brought to the people of Shanghe Village after working in the county government, Village Chief Bai has the deepest understanding.

As for the little guy Li Mingde, in the eyes of Village Chief Bai, Li Mingde is quick-witted and calm. After going to the school in the county seat, he looks more and more like Bai Zhiwen from his own clan. He thinks Li Mingde is very likely to be a scholar .

Although Li Mingchun is the girl of the second room of the Li family, and Li Qian, the daughter-in-law of the second room, is confused, but according to Village Chief Bai's understanding, both the first room and the third room of the Li family are very good to the two girls of the second room of the Li family.

Bai Chen wants to go out to be an apprentice because he wants to make his future daughter-in-law live a good life. If the Bai people don't let Bai Chen go out, they just don't want Li Mingchun to live a good life after getting married. In case the Li family misunderstands, Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to go to the county government to find Li Chengshi for work in the future?

Instead of letting the villagers keep talking about going out as an apprentice, and causing the Li family to misunderstand the Bai family, it is better to simply let Bai Chen go out as an apprentice. With him in the middle, Bai Chen's apprenticeship will not be special. difficult.
