Bai Wenjing frowned at Xue Xiaohua's words. Why is this little girl so busy?
So he said, "if you don't go, you have to go. Your uncle has an accident. We have to go and see what's going on."
Then he stretched out his hand and wanted to pull Xue Xiaohua's hand. I didn't know that the little girl threw her hand away and took a step back.
"I'm not going."
Xue Xiaohua continued to pout and looked at her with strange eyes.
Bai Wenjing is burning with anxiety. At this time, how can you let the little ancestor play his temper?
It happened that Bai Wenjing's hand touched the lipstick that had been put in his sleeve and immediately took it out and shook it. "Xiaohua, listen to my mother. If you go to grandma's house with me, this thing will belong to you."
"It's the lipstick I like!"
Xue Xiaohua's eyes suddenly lit up. She heard that this fat was the most popular color in the capital. She didn't spend less time to get this thing.
But at the thought of facing the dead old woman, Xue Xiaohua hesitated in her eyes. She hesitated and said, "Mom, do you have to go?"
Bai Wenjing nodded and said, "you have to go."
"All right."
Xue Xiaohua said reluctantly, holding the lipstick in her mother's hand and forcing out a smile.
A family of five locked the door and set off.
Because there were only two liang silver, they were not willing to buy anything delicious on the road.
Xue Changan hesitated for a long time along the way. He didn't know whether to tell Bai Wenjing about his visit to Xing's house that day.
He wanted to say it. Bai Wenjing didn't ask him or even mention a word.
In fact, he went to find Xing shanwa that day, but he didn't even meet Xing shanwa.
Speaking of this, Xing shanwa's brother and sister are also poor people. Their parents went early, and they depend on each other.
Five years ago, he went out to do business with Xing shanwa, leaving Xing Qiaozhen, 13.
Xing Qiaozhen is a clever and honest girl. However, Bai Wenjing made trouble for others everywhere. At that time, she was just a 13-year-old girl. Just because she said a word to him, Bai Wenjing shouted that the little girl seduced him and directly went to the door to smoke more than a dozen big mouths.
He was angry about it for a long time, so he swallowed it this morning after Xing Qiaozhen confided that the silver had been embezzled by Xing shanwa.
Xing shanwa did the work of swallowing the silver. The grievance has its head and the debt has its owner. Xing Qiaozhen gave more than half a bag of grain and two Chinese cabbage. Naturally, he couldn't say anything.
Looking at the four women walking in front, Xue Chang'an felt unspeakable guilt.
Because they were carrying three small, the journey was a little slower than usual. Several people arrived at their mother's house the next evening.
Her mother's village is no better than buffalo Bay. It is in the mountains and surrounded by mountains on three sides.
There is a small river in front of the door. Even the residents are almost a mile away. They look sparse on weekdays.
Her mother's house is very dilapidated. The wooden door outside the fence is rotten. It seems that you can knock a hole with a gentle knock. When Bai Wenjing looked in from outside the fence, Niu Xueqin was sitting in the shade of the tree in the yard, looking very leisurely.
Since she came, Bai Wenjing called out, "Mom."
Niu Xueqin stood up and saw Bai Wenjing who pushed the door in. She quickly stretched out her hand and wiped tears.
Just as she glanced up, Niu Xueqin saw her son-in-law who had been away for nearly five years.
It's just... Didn't the son-in-law say that he has been out doing business for nearly five years? Why come to the door so empty handed?
Niu Xueqin, who had planned to greet each other with a smile, immediately pulled down her face and said, "you know, come on, I thought you wouldn't come. Let your brother go with me."
Niu Xueqin said, ignoring Xue Chang'an, opened the door directly and entered the house.
Bai Wenjing knows that her mother has got a bargain. I'm afraid she's not happy to see them come empty handed this time.
Bai Wenjing didn't take it seriously. Anyway, Niu Xueqin used to be like a vampire. Now her body has changed its core. She's not used to the old lady.
When I looked back, I saw Xue Chang'an's embarrassed look.
I'm despised by my mother-in-law. It's time.
Bai Wenjing feels comfortable inexplicably.
"Mother, where's my brother? What's the matter? I'm confused when I hear people say it."
"Hey ~" Niu Xueqin sighed heavily, lifted up her sleeve to wipe her tears, and said with a stem: "Gangzi went up the mountain to cut firewood, but he fell down from the mountain. No, his legs were broken. You know what our family is like. There is no money at home. If we don't have money to hire a doctor, we have to find some herbs to apply."
Bai Wenjing hears that Niu Xueqin is really crying. It can be said that her brother Bai Zhenggang has just gone up the mountain to cut firewood, but Bai Wenjing doesn't believe it.
What virtue does her brother Bai Zhenggang have? Can she not know? A master who can lie down and never sit down. If he goes up the mountain to cut firewood, the sun will come out in the West.
So Bai Wenjing said, "Yo, yeah, I'll have a look."
When she entered the room, she saw her sister-in-law lotus hurriedly cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. Bai Wenjing glanced and saw some egg flowers stuck on the edge of the bowl, so she casually said, "eat?"
Lotus stood up to block the bowl and said, "I haven't eaten yet. I just boiled some medicine for him to drink. I can't even see a grain of rice in this family. What else to eat..."
Bai Wenjing raised her eyebrows. It was clear that the air was filled with the smell of sugar water and eggs, but the lotus said she was drinking medicine. It seemed that not only her mother would cry poor, but her brother-in-law and daughter-in-law also learned.
"Sister, you are here. Sister, ouch... Sister, my leg is broken. Will I have to lie in bed for the rest of my life?"
Bai Wenjing glanced. Bai Zhenggang was ruddy and covered with a quilt. He didn't look like a person who broke his leg, so he came forward and lifted the quilt.
When the quilt was opened, the lie was broken. Bai Wenjing threw away the quilt horn in her hand and said coldly, "what's going on? I'll give you one last chance."
Bai Zhenggang looked at the people in the crowded room, his face turned blue and white, and finally clenched his teeth and said, "OK, I said, just like you saw, I didn't go up the mountain to cut firewood, and I didn't fall. There was no grain or silver at home."
Bai Zhenggang said don't look at Bai Wenjing. His face is full of unhappiness.
The lotus sniffed at the speech, holding her belly like a pot, and choked at her: "sister, I know you are a good man, and I know you help a lot at home, but... But there's really no way at home. I'll have a baby soon. If I don't have some money, the midwife can't ask..."
Bai Wenjing understands. After all, he wants silver.
When you say that you need money to have a baby, it's like having her seed.
Niu Xueqin no longer pretended at this time, but said with a straight face: "Lotus always needs silver to have children. If you are a sister, you should always help me. I don't care what method you use, you must give me ten liang of silver today."
