"It's not even dawn yet. Are you guys here to pick wild vegetables? Who would believe it? " Someone said.
"Dingchu's wife, please allow Captain to come over. Stealing an ox is not a small matter."
Bai Defu was afraid that Bai Xiao would actually send someone to get the money, so he anxiously called out: "Don't go."
Everyone looked at him.
"I mean, he's already old. It's not even dawn yet, so tell him to come over. What if he falls?"
"It's not even dawn yet? "Then let's wait until dawn to go look for Captain Li. The two of you have been involved in this, so you should stay here for a long time and explain everything before leaving."
Just as Bai Xiao finished speaking, she saw the faces of Bai Defu and Mrs. Bai both changed.
"Everyone, breakfast is ready. Let's go back and eat."
She already knew the purpose of Bai Defu and his wife's visit, and they had fallen into the river in winter, standing on the shore for so long, their frozen faces turning purple.
He had already taught her the lesson she should have, so Bai Xiao didn't really plan to show off.
After the workers left, Bai Xiao also left.
Bai Defu and Mrs. Bai stood stupidly in the cold wind.
Mrs. Bai's lips were trembling, "Head, are we really going to wait here?"
Not to mention how he would deal with them, even the taste of being in the middle of this cold wind wasn't pleasant.
If she waited any longer, she would be frozen into an ice cube.
Bai Defu was not that much better off. After thinking about it, he knew that he would be punished by his boss anyway. He might as well go back and change his clothes.
"If you want to stay here and cool down, then blow on your own. I'm going back." After Bai Defu finished speaking, he tidied up the clothes on his body and became even colder.
"Boss, wait for me."
Winter clothes, filled with cotton, soaked heavy as iron.
When they finally got home, Old Madame Bai was already cursing in the courtyard.
It was already dawn, and the kitchen was still cold.
Seeing Bai Defu and Mrs. Bai return, just as he was about to curse, the two of them ran into his house together and even closed the door.
"It can't be that you brought back some good stuff that I brought back behind my back, right?"
The Old Madame Bai walked to the window of the second room.
"What bad luck. I didn't manage to hide anything from you and almost froze to death." Mrs. Bai complained as she undressed herself.
"It's all your fault, you can't do anything good."
"You're talking about me? What did you do at that time?" Standing there as a door god? "
"Aren't I on guard?"
"Watchful? What did you see? When did Bai Xiao arrive? "
"Bai Xiao is truly strange, by right, we should be able to see him there, but we didn't hear anything at all."
The more than ten acres of land was plowed flat, there was no cover, and he could easily see the bridal chamber, so why did he not see Bai Xiao?
Bai Defu couldn't understand no matter how hard he tried.
"Regardless of whether she is evil or not, we definitely won't have another chance in the future."
Mrs. Bai was a little unwilling. Such a good cow, yet he obtained Yang Family so easily.
"Boss, tell me, how about we use our name to bring out the ox from the Yang Family and then directly bring it to the town to register? What do you think?"
"How is it? Why didn't you think of it earlier? "
"Didn't I just think of it?"
"Bai Xiao must have guessed our motive. Do you think that if you go and borrow from them, you'll be able to do it?"
The couple changed clothes and sat in one place, sighing.
Old Madame Bai gritted her teeth as she glared at the wall, and quickly returned to the main house.
Bai Dequan had already woken up and was waiting for the Old Madame Bai and the owner of the house to start eating.
Senior Bai saw Old Madame Bai coming in, "Where is the second brother and his wife? What were you doing in the morning? "I don't cook either."
"The two of them went to steal the cattle." Old Madame Bai whispered.
"What did you say?" These two idiots are so desperate, are they trying to steal our cattle? " Senior Bai said in shock.
"I can't steal anything else, but I don't know about Yang Family. You must not have gone to register it, and then you stole it and brought it back to the town to register. Then, it will belong to us. "
Old Madame Bai thought that if her own family had an ox, when they were busy farming, those people from the village would beg her to use the cow.
"I heard from Ol 'Two and the rest that Boss Ox is as big as four heads of a family."
"How can there be such a big cow like this?" Old Madame Bai did not dare believe it. Recently, he rarely went out and did not know about the incident at Yang Family.
But even if there was, it couldn't be as heavy as two to three thousand pounds, right?
"Did you hear that clearly?"
"Can't you tell? Don't know if the old couple will run off to steal an ox in the middle of the night? "
Bai Dequan said: There's a horse in Yang Family, and it's not a big deal to make a cow. Yang Dingchu often goes to the Yunshen Mountain to hunt, maybe there's a big herd of wild horses and cows in the mountains?
Senior Bai looked at Bai Dequan who had both of his hands crippled, and thought of Bai Defu's lazy, gluttonous person. If only their Bai Family could produce a person like Yang Dingchu.
There was meat to eat every day, and horses and cattle could be caught and brought back.
"Old man, haven't we dug up our land this year? Find Yang Family and borrow them for envoys. " Old Madame Bai thought of Mrs. Bai's idea.
Just because Old Two and the rest can't do it doesn't mean they can't either.
Bai Dequan said: "Second brother is a lazy person, and my hands are crippled. There are so many acres of land, can father keep busy by himself? No matter what, Bai Xiao is still our Bai Family's daughter, if you go and borrow from her, how can she not borrow it? "
"Besides, the reason why our family is in such a state is all because of him. If we were to lend her some money, she would definitely agree to let us use it."
"Alright, I'll take a trip to the Yang Family later."
On Yang Family's side, after breakfast, the workers started to work, and Bai Xiao went back up the mountain.
Qing'er, who had been caught red-handed, picked a dish with Madame Yang at the kitchen entrance. Seeing Bai Xiao bringing the old bull and flames into the mountain, she was extremely envious.
"Mom, aunty doesn't need to work, why should I?" Qing'er was slightly unwilling to be caught and put to work.
"It's not like your aunt doesn't work. All of the food we eat is earned back by your aunt. Don't speak nonsense like this in the future, do you understand?"
Madame Yang quickly taught her a lesson. It was all thanks to Bai Xiao's fortune that her family was able to lead such a peaceful life.
"I know, Mom. I want to go play in the mountains as well."
"You are just a child, what are you doing in the mountains? There are a lot of wild beasts in the mountain. Aren't you afraid of getting taken away by them? "
"Aunt is here. She will protect me." Qing'er really liked worshipping Bai Xiao.
It was delicious to cook. Every time he went out, he would bring her something delicious to eat and even bought her beautiful hair strings.
"Did you learn the five birds' play that your aunt asked you to practice?"
When Qing'er heard about training in the martial arts, she was speechless. Training was very tiring, she wouldn't be able to hold on for long before she stopped.
She felt that embroidery was the easiest thing to read, and she liked those things as well.
"Your aunt can go on the mountain because she knows kung fu, so you can't go."
"Just like father and uncle?"
"That's right, your father doesn't know any martial arts, so he works in the fields every day. Your uncle would go hunting on the mountain if he knew any martial arts."
Qing'er was very curious about Yunshen Mountain, but she was afraid of learning kung fu, so she looked conflicted.
