Bai Dazhu found the inn where Pei Qinghan was staying without much effort. Pei Qinghan was planning to go for a walk and happened to meet Bai Dazhu. When he saw him, he heard that he would like to borrow money to buy medicine. Pei Qinghan’s heart was like a mirror: It seemed that they had made up their mind.
From Pei Qinghan’s point of view, this kind of thing was not unusual. In the capital, he had seen a lot of things. The more a person wants to be superior and achieve something, the more they will make such means, which was far more normal.
Without asking much, he asked the servant next to him to give Bai Dazhu 10 silver coins.
When Bai Dazhu got the money, Pei Qinghan turned around to leave. Bai Dazhu was also about to leave, but he remembered something: “Pei Daren, this small one has another request.”
Pei Qinghan stopped and turned to look at Bai Dazhu with a stern face: “Let me hear it.”
Bai Dazhu boldly said: “Daren, this small one’s family can’t live here anymore. Since Daren wants to take Zhenzhu back in the capital, it’s better to take this small one’s family altogether. This small one’s family can do anything, as long as we have enough to eat in the capital.”
As long as they have enough to eat in the capital? He was willing to kill his brother just to eat?
Pei Qinghan was really sick of this kind of person, but thinking about it, these people know the inside of the story. Keeping them in a loose may bring him a future disaster. It’s better to bring them under his wings, he can control and watch them.
“As long as you can deal with things cleanly, why won’t I take you with me?”
Bai Dazhu was overjoyed and thanked Pei Qinghan a lot. When Pei Qinghan left, he went away to buy rat poison.
Bai Dazhu, who was holding 10 silver coins in his hand, was in a good mood. He bought rat poisons, rice noodles, and 3-kilo grams of pork belly, then he returned to the village happily.
Mrs. Liu cooked a large plate of pork belly and chopped the remaining meat to put it as filling of meat buns. After their family had eaten enough, Mrs. Liu looked at Bai Dazhu meaningfully.
Bai Dazhu understood what she means and went to the kitchen. He then took a plate of meat buns and brought it directly to Bai Erzhu’s room. Bai Erzhu’s family was eating porridge. Bai Zhenzhu was sitting in the corner and eating silently.
Bai Dazhu said to Bai Zhenzhu: “Zhenzhu, your aunt is calling you, she said that she want to embroider something, but she can’t see the needle hole clearly, so she can’t insert the thread.”
When Bai Zhenzhu looked up, she saw Bai Dazhu winked at her. Although she didn’t understand what he means, she still got up and walked out obediently.
Bai Dazhu put the meat buns on the only small table in the room and smiled: “We made some meat buns and stuffed a lot of meat inside. I brought you a few pieces to taste. We took a lot of advantage of your family before, we will never do it again in the future.”
Bai Erzhu and Mrs. Zhang’s eyes were full of questions if the person in front of them was Bai Dazhu. Why he was completely different today? How could he suddenly say such words?
Bai Dazhu put down the meat buns and left. He knew that they would eat them. For poor people like them, this kind of meat buns can only be eaten during Chinese New Year.
“Did the sun came out from the west today? Or my ears have problems?” Mrs. Zhang asked Bai Erzhu.
Bai Erzhu laughed: “Don’t mind him too much. Let’s eat it.” He said and grabbed two meat buns. He gave the other one to Bai Fugui and bite the other one.
“Hmm, fragrant, it’s really fragrant. How long has it been since we ate such buns?” Bai Erzhu asked Mrs. Zhang with a mouthful of meat.
Mrs. Zhang also took a meat bun and took a bite, then said with a smile: “God knows how long it been. It’s really been a long time.”
