Chapter 26

"Saburo was right in not asking for the money."

When everyone heard Erlang's words, they all cast their gazes over in unison. Erlang raised his chin even higher, and shook his head pretendingly.

Originally, everyone wanted to hear him explain why, but seeing that he stopped talking after he finished that sentence, Grandma Bai asked impatiently, "Erlang, why did you say that it's right for Sanlang not to take money? If you have money, Grandma can make you a new hat and new shoes."

Erlang was really reluctant to part with the money, and when he heard about the new hat and shoes that Grandma Bai was talking about, his face showed a hint of yearning, but it was fleeting. It seems that everyone is thinking about how embarrassing it is to ask for money, "You can't patronize your eyes, then Master Cheng didn't hurt Saburo, if Saburo asks for his money, what will he think of our family?"

When he said the three words "Master Cheng", his tone was a bit sour, and there was some disdain mixed in. It turned out that the third wife and fourth mother described how handsome and charming Young Master Cheng was at home, and he was full of jewels. In those words, there was a faint hint He was no less than a hundred times better than Erlang. As a scholar, Erlang looked down on businessmen in his bones. Although the Cheng family was rich, he still felt that he was superior. That Young Master Cheng was just lucky enough to be reborn into a rich family.

Grandma Bai still couldn't understand, and couldn't help muttering: "How can I see it? It's not what we asked him for, but he offered it on his own initiative."

Erlang complained in his heart that grandma was pedantic, and his tone was unconsciously hardened, "Grandma wants me to get acquainted with Miss Cheng in the future. If this meeting asks for money from his family, I will be inferior unconsciously. What will his family think of me?"

The rest of the Bai family really couldn't understand Erlang's concerns. They all felt that Master Cheng gave the money on his own initiative, and it wasn't Sanlang who asked for it. But Grandma Bai and Mrs. Xu knew that Erlang was arrogant, so they didn't refute it. Mrs. Xu hastily boasted: "My son thinks everything, the money must not be right."

Erlang snorted, but gave his mother an admiring look of "children can be taught", which made Mrs. Xu laugh happily.

After breaking up the money, Grandma Bai remembered that the main problem had not been resolved. She raised her eyebrows and resumed her domineering attitude before, and yelled at Bai Xin: "I heard from Sanniang and Siniang that you and Master Cheng will be together today. There's a quarrel, what's going on? It's too late for the young master of the Cheng family to flatter, how can we quarrel?"

Erlang didn't want to hear the word flattery, his face was a little hot now, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only look at Grandma Bai in a dark and uncertain way, and hummed a few times in his nose.

Grandma Bai didn't understand why the well-behaved Erlang was angry again, she touched her nose unconsciously, and then vented her anger on Saburo, shouting louder, "You are dead, you are talking."

Saburo watched the good show for a long time, but he didn't show his face at all. He would speak slowly, "Young master from a rich family, who knows what he thinks? I had three sentences with him this morning, and he asked What's wrong with me, I said it's okay, and then he became upset, I said thank you for your concern, but he just walked away." After speaking, he looked at Sanniang and Siniang, "Am I right? Didn't I say a word? lie?"

San Niang and Si Niang used to add insult to injury in front of Grandma Bai before, but this time the two sides were confronting each other face to face, and it was hard for them to say anything, so they had to say yes, their faces flushed.

As soon as the two girls finished nodding, Mrs. Xu couldn't wait to say something nice for Bai Xin, "That's it. Then Young Master Cheng got angry and left. I asked others, and they all said so."

At this moment, Ding was so angry that his fingernails were digging into his flesh, cursing in his heart, but on the surface he was very embarrassed.

Grandma Bai hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do next, everyone chattered at each other for a while, but they couldn't say anything, so they had to converse and prepare to eat, but at the dinner table, they still started talking about the young master of the Cheng family.

While eating, Erlang's eyes flickered, showing a malicious expression, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

Although Bai Xin knew that the Bai family would not easily let go of this opportunity to get acquainted with the Cheng family, he didn't take it seriously. After all, he and the young master of the Cheng family had met at most, not even known each other. But he didn't expect that the Bai family would do everything they could.

Early the next morning, as soon as Bai Xin came out of the house, she saw Grandma Bai's smiling expression, her small triangular eyes narrowed into slits, which was almost flattering.

Bai Xin's heart tightened, and he put his whole body on guard. He had never seen Grandma Bai show such an expression to him. Even before she wanted to sell Wu Niang last time, she was only amiable.

"Sanlang, wake up." Grandma Bai let out a piercing laugh.

Bai Xin insisted on saying too much and making mistakes, so he gave a simple grace.

Grandma Bai didn't feel annoyed at all, she pointed to the kitchen and said, "It's been hard for you to go up the mountain to collect firewood these days, I asked your mother to boil an egg for you."

It was really the sun coming out from the west, Bai Xin almost couldn't help but look up at the sky, he was sure that something was wrong with Grandma Bai, but he couldn't figure out the reason, which made him very uneasy, he walked quickly to the kitchen, only to see Mrs. Mrs. Cao and her sister-in-law were making breakfast quickly, and Cao had a happy smile on her face. Seeing her son, her eyes were smiling and her eyebrows were flying, and she seemed to be refreshed, "Sanlang, your grandma said that today I will cook you an egg to make up Make up for it."

From her point of view, this seemed like a great thing.

Bai Xin sighed softly, it seems that his mother still doesn't know the inside story.

When eating in the morning, there were two soft-boiled eggs on the table, one was put in Erlang's bowl, and the other was put in front of Bai Xin. Straight, I can't help but look at the past.

Under normal circumstances, Bai Xin would definitely let Wu Niang eat, but there was a deep conspiracy behind the egg, and Bai Xin was afraid that something would scare Wu Niang later, so he had to put the egg aside, not touching it, and not letting it go. No one to speak to.

Grandma Bai was very surprised to see that Bai Xin didn't eat. She felt a little flustered and wondered if Saburo would agree to that method.

The atmosphere was embarrassing, and Mrs. Cao didn't know it, and she was still eating happily.

Erlang coughed suddenly, Grandma Bai suddenly put down her chopsticks, and smiled at Bai Xin: "Sanlang, eat the eggs soon, it will be cold later."

Bai Xin raised his head slowly and looked at Erlang, but Erlang turned a blind eye and ate with his head down. Bai Xin hummed in his heart, and he was sure that whatever was hiding behind it was Erlang's fault.

"Grandma, what do you want me to do, tell me now." Bai Xin really hates this kind of hanging mood, he can't get up and down.

Grandma Bai showed embarrassment, and suddenly realized that this was Sanlang, from Dafang's family, there was really no need to be so humble, "It's nothing, just thinking that you had a quarrel with Master Cheng's yesterday. Go and make amends to the Cheng family." She said it loudly on purpose, as if she would not feel guilty.

Bai Xin was not surprised when he heard this. It was indeed a good idea for the Bai family to take this opportunity to talk to the Cheng family.

But Bai Xin faintly felt that it was more than that simple, if it was really just to make amends, Grandma Bai would not go out of her way to please him.

Grandma Bai coughed again, "I have to wrong you for this matter."

Cao put down her chopsticks and looked at Grandma Bai nervously.

Bai Xin's eyes darkened, and he asked coldly, "What kind of grievance?"

Grandma Bai faltered a few times, then took a deep breath, "It doesn't show sincerity... I just want the Cheng family to see that you have been taught a lesson..."

Bai Xin's eyes widened suddenly, and he stood up suddenly, his voice was a little out of tune, "You want to hit me?"

Grandma Bai nodded, but she didn't dare to look into Bai Xin's eyes.

Dafang's family was taken aback, Cao's face was also shocked, and her eyes were red.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly made peace, "Sanlang, don't be afraid, it's just a show, not really hitting you hard."

"I won't do it!" Before Xu could finish speaking, Bai Xin interrupted abruptly, his body moved greatly, the bowl in front of him shook, and fell to the ground with a bang, spilling the porridge inside When it came out, the porcelain bowl shattered into two parts, and the white and tender egg that fell to the ground together, now rolled a few times, dusty and covered with a layer of soil.

Grandma Bai screamed, she jumped three feet high, her face flushed, she pointed at Bai Xin and shouted sharply: "Little bastard, it's against you, you dare to throw plates and bowls with me."

Bai Xin couldn't tell that Grandma Bai was making excuses. His hands were hanging heavily at his sides, as if a dagger had been inserted into his stomach, "I won't do it!"

"What are you doing? I don't care if you do it or not? I'm going to teach you a lesson today, you bastard!" After speaking, he walked up to Bai Xin in three steps at a time.

Bai Xin was nimble, and dodged with a light dodge. Grandma Bai was out of breath, and shouted at the others: "What are you still doing, catch him!"

Mrs. Cao started to cry, and stopped in front of Grandma Bai. Da Lang and Da Niang were at a loss, they blocked Bai Xin for a while, and then helped to block others.

Because of yesterday's incident, Ding hated the second room very much, but seeing Bai Xin's fate today, she was very relieved. She yelled and said to her two daughters: "Don't stop Sanlang, let him go to the house. A few beatings on him will do our family good."

The third and fourth mothers also hated Bai Xin, and when they heard what their mother said, they immediately went up to stop Bai Xin happily.

The second room and the third room worked together to finally stop the person in the big room. After a while, Bai Xin was caught by Mrs. Xu, who still wanted to be a good person, persuaded behind Bai Xin: "Sanlang, don't struggle!" Yes, just type a few times as a show, and then my aunt will buy you delicious food."

Bai Xin struggled violently, but he was a child's body after all. How could he struggle better than the burly Xu Shi? In the blink of an eye, his arm was twisted backwards, and he was twisted to Grandma Bai.

Although he said it was just a show, but if he didn't try hard, how could he leave any traces and let the Cheng family know?And if you put on a show, it must be a slap in the face.

Grandma Bai immediately swung her arms and slapped her out.

There were several clear and crisp slaps, and Bai Xin was slapped several times, and the yard immediately became quiet, only the intermittent sobbing of Dafang's family was heard.

After a while, Bai Xin's face swelled up, and the red finger prints were connected together.

Bai Xin seemed to have fallen into an ice hole, the shackles behind him seemed to be frozen on the ground, and his ears were buzzing, but he calmed down, blinked, and looked at the people in the yard seriously. The whole family was weeping cowardly and humblely. Ding and his daughters looked on gloatingly, without hiding the smile at the corner of their mouths. The second uncle was a little embarrassed, but Erlang crossed his arms and looked happy.

Bai Xin's eyes turned black, he bit his tongue hard until he tasted the rust, the sharp pain in his mouth was no worse than his face.

Grandma Bai saw that the "shape" was done, so she stopped her hands, and Mrs. Xu quickly let go of Bai Xin, leaving Bai Xin standing there dryly.

After the commotion just now, the yard was in a mess as if it had been robbed.

Cao rushed over, hugging Bai Xin tightly, crying miserably.

"Hey, hurry up and go to Cheng's house. When I get back, I'll cook another egg for him." Grandma Bai also knew she was wrong, so she comforted him half-heartedly, but in a tone of charity.

Grandma Bai took the lead, took Xu Shi, Erlang, Erniang, and escorted Bai Xin, intending to go out.

Mrs. Ding also wanted to take a pair of daughters with her, but Mrs. Xu knew that the third and fourth mothers were beautiful, and she was afraid that they would follow and nothing would happen to her own daughter. Sanniang and Siniang tidy up, the sister-in-law cooks for us all day, let her have a rest."

When Ding saw that Xu had become a good person, he even kept himself, his face was contorted in anger, and he gritted his teeth.Grandma Bai's heart was still beating so fast at this moment, she didn't know if it was because she just hit Saburo, or because she was going to Cheng's house soon, she didn't have time to care about the people who stayed at home, so she pushed Bai Xin out.

Bai Xin kept his head down all the time, didn't make trouble, didn't say a word, and let the villagers point and point around them.

When the group arrived at Cheng's house, Grandma Bai stepped forward to knock on the door, and someone inside responded. After informing the principal in the courtyard, the Bai family entered Cheng's house after they got the consent.

The Cheng Garden is planted with seasonal flowers and plants, tender white Yaohong, surrounded by pavilions, with ponds and curved banks, and a moon and rainbow bridge. In the eyes of the Bai family, it is like a fairyland.

After a while, everyone came to the hall. There were two rows of huanghuali screen-backed chairs, and there were five-legged incense tables with inner scrolls. Green-glazed melon-edge bottles were placed on them, and a strong fragrance wafted in the hall.

Young Master Cheng is wearing a light red Taoist robe, which is the same color as Erlang's clothes, but both the workmanship and the fabric are worlds different. With the jade pendant on the belt, Erlang immediately felt hot on his face, and the clothes on his body were very different. It turned into a thorny thorn, and I felt uncomfortable.

Grandma Bai looked at Mrs. Xu and immediately put on a flattering smile. Erniang was naturally dumbfounded when she saw Master Cheng for the first time.

As soon as Master Cheng came out, he frowned subconsciously. Grandma Bai didn't realize it, and expressed her intention first, "I heard that my Sanlang had a quarrel with the young master yesterday. After I came back, I immediately taught him a lesson, and today I will hold him Come to apologize to the young master, you don't remember the faults of villains, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

After finishing speaking, he secretly pushed Bai Xin.

Bai Xin raised his head slowly, revealing a red and purple miserable face, staring straight at the young man opposite him.

Young Master Cheng took a big step back, he felt attracted by those cold eyes, unable to move his eyes away, his heart seemed to be tightly pinched by an invisible big hand, a little painful, a little burning, and a little breathless Come.

Seeing this, even Fulin couldn't help but let out a heartbroken ouch.

The atmosphere in the hall was quiet and weird. Erlang cleared his throat and was about to say something benevolent and moral, but Bai Xin spoke up first, without any tone of voice, "Do you really think they arrested me to make amends? The apology is just An excuse, they have taken a fancy to your Cheng family and want to climb this high branch."

The Bai family was caught off guard, and Erlang was the first to react. He had a ferocious expression and screamed, "Shut up!"

The cold voice continued, and it was heard clearly in everyone's ears, "This Erlang of my family only wants to get acquainted with your little lady, and this second lady wants to marry you!"

After he finished speaking, the Bai family felt ashamed.

The author has something to say: Hey, I originally wanted to stop after Bai Xin was beaten, and the number of words and the timing were just right when I stopped there, but I was afraid of disturbing everyone, and I was afraid of being negatively scored

So I simply put Bai Xin's resistance in this chapter, which is somewhat comforting (Wang Tian)

Xiao Gong is officially in love with Xiao Shou

In the next chapter, there will be an opportunity to separate the family!

Believe me, this is the last time the Bai family abused Bai Xin!
