Chapter 113 Bai Lie’s life experience (2)
However, times have changed.
The war is over, liberation has occurred, and the people have become the masters of their own country.
The hunters who used to protect the village with broadswords, bows and arrows have turned into little old men carrying hoes. Old Man Bai and Zhou Guilan were not begging for shelter at the beginning.
Perhaps in the first year or two, Old Man Bai and Zhou Guilan were still a little wary and remembered their duties. But after three or eight years, only they themselves know what they thought.
But, no matter what, what Third Grandpa said is right, Bai Lie does not owe this family anything.
The Bai family’s adoption of Bai Lie is an exchange in which each gets what he needs.
When Bai Lie was younger, several old men would regularly give him some subsidies. But when Bai Lie grew up, the subsidies became less.
However, Bai Lie worked in the fields, fished and caught rabbits in the mountains and rivers, and he could also make some extra money in other places, and there were certainly many who fell into Zhou Guilan's pocket.
Compared with saying that Bai Lie was raised by the Bai family, it is actually more reliable to say that Bai Lie was raised by the Bai family. -
The above is roughly summarized by Shu Yue from the conversation between her father and Uncle Bai.
Of course, some of what they said was not so straightforward, but the meaning was still quite clear.
Shu Yue was sitting on the edge of the kang, shaking her legs. Her expression was a little strange and her little brows were furrowed.
I can’t figure it out! Uncle Bai came over and talked about this for a long time and then told his father this?
Bai Hengyu was also puzzled.
He couldn't figure out that in his previous life, Bai Lie was forced to adopt Bai Jiaojiao through kindness. Why didn't the old men who appeared today come out to help Bai Lie clear his name?
He still couldn't figure it out. Bai Lie should be fearless as a bachelor, so how could he be forced to recognize Bai Jiaojiao!
Bai Lie closed the door and saw his daughter and little boy sitting side by side in a daze.
Bai Lie: “…”
Bai Lie still hasn't figured out what the little boy means, but he understands Shu Yue's expression.
Bai Lie put a handful of dried sweet potatoes in the small cloth bag, chewed them slowly, and asked Shu Yue, "I don't understand what you, uncle of the Bai family, mean by coming here?"
Shuyue nodded her head.
“Yes, yes, yes, I don’t understand.”
This is a bit like reminiscing about the past, but at this time, I always feel weird coming here to talk about this.
Bai Lie laughed.
“You uncle!
He is an interesting person.
He could tell that his father was impatient to stay at home. It didn’t matter what he said. He came here just to show his attitude and show his goodwill. "
Shu Yue was stunned, and Bai Hengyu also looked over curiously.
"Don't look at your uncle who seems to be honest and easy to bully. The old man and the old lady have been treating him like an old scalper. In fact, he is not honest at all, let alone easy to bully. I am afraid that he is the most intelligent person in this family. ”
Bai Lie had a strange smile on his face when he talked about this.
“The old couple had been living outside for a few years and were fascinated by the good life of a wealthy family.
They thought that if their daughter married well, she could change her family, so they raised Bai Xiaowan, who was pretty good-looking, as a young lady.
Your father and I, because they need the protection of your grandfathers to establish themselves in the village, they dare not treat me harshly.
As the only uncle left, you had to be a little tired at that time.
He may have been trained in his previous employer's house, and he is quite clever. He looks honest and honest in front of others, and no one thinks that he is capable of cheating or cheating, but when he turns around, he hides whenever he can.
Later on, relying on her pretty face, she hooked up with, ahem, fell in love with the fierce and shrewd daughter of the butcher's family.
Look at him now, he still looks honest, but he always hides behind his wife when something happens. What kind of disadvantage has he suffered? "
Shu Yue: “…”
