Chapter 70: Second Uncle's Family is a Real Joke

The place was so quiet that you could hear the sound of the wind blowing.

Mrs. Bai patted her grandson's hand, looked at three sacks of sacks and asked, "How is it? Grandson, grandma, did you do well?"

Bai Ling faced the people around her and announced confidently: "Did you see it? Three sacks of rice!

The white rice is not adulterated at all! Are you sincere enough? "

Shui Qing: Damn it, rice is very good, but when it’s used as a thank you gift for saving someone’s life, who does it look like giving it to?

Sun Jinhua burst out laughing.

How should I put it, although she couldn't eat rice yet, she always felt that using rice as a thank you gift, she suddenly found that she was not so jealous anymore.

The onlookers were stunned for a while and asked in disbelief: "Is it gone?"

"No way? There should be more, right? Isn't this just the beginning of the move?"

"Rice is indeed very sincere when used as a gift of thanks for a life-saving grace in a family like ours, but I never expected that rich people would also use it as a gift of thanks for a life-saving favor."

“The rice is really solid, but it always feels like something is missing.

Even if poor people don't have three bags, they will at least put together a piece of bacon. I originally thought that rich people would dress up with gold, silver and jewelry, but I didn't expect that they would be more simple than us peasants. "

"It turns out that rich people and poor people are the same..."

Hearing the discussion around her, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

She looked at Bai Ling with a face as dark as water.

Bai Ling's face was even more ugly. She pointed her finger directly at the people around her and asked: "Don't think that I don't know. My boy came over last night and asked me. Most of the food in your village is still black dough, even corn and other whole grains. Reluctant to part with it.

Now that we have brought three sacks of rice at once, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?

Don't like it? Oh, it’s true that poor people come out of poverty! "

Everyone in the village couldn't bear it when someone pointed their nose at him and scolded him.

"Who do you think is a troublemaker?"

“Our Shanshui Village has beautiful green mountains and green waters, but why is it so poor and poor?”

"It's not because of your loudness and grandeur that we thought it was something valuable and rare! If we knew it was only rice, we wouldn't be so excited to come and see it."

"Hmph, I can exchange one pound of mushrooms for four pounds of rice. When our family was diligent, we would exchange one sack of rice in one day! We earned it in three days, how can we show it to anyone!"

After talking about it, the scene was already chaotic and harsh.

Mrs. Bai's face turned red and white when she heard what the villagers said about exchanging rice. She quickly asked her grandson: "Is what they said true?"

Bai Ziqian's lips curved into a disappointed smile: "Grandma, I always thought my life was very important, but I never thought it was only worth three bags of rice."

Mrs. Bai hurriedly defended: "How is that possible? Your aunt said that. The villagers in Shanshui Village are very poor. Rice is already a valuable commodity. Let's prepare three sacks, which are worth several dollars. These villagers will be grateful to death. "

"Does grandma know what I have been eating for more than a month?"

"Are you not full?"

"It's rice and white flour, three meals a day, either meat or eggs. Do you think three bags of rice are enough for your grandson these days?"

Mrs. Bai's face turned pale, then turned red with embarrassment. She stumbled and said, "Your aunt said"

"Grandma only listened to what my aunt said? Then do you know why even the villagers don't like three bags of rice?"

"Why?"

"Because they used to exchange one pound of mushrooms for four pounds of rice! A whole day's worth of food for a big family can be exchanged for one sack of rice;

And the person who exchanged rice for them was the person who saved me. Grandma thought that someone who could exchange four pounds of rice for one pound of mushrooms would care about these three bags of rice?

Do you think that the food you eat every day is valuable? Will you be extremely grateful to our family? "

Won't!

At this moment, Mrs. Bai wished that there was a crack in the ground so that she could get in.

"If my mother-in-law had come today, she would not have put me in such an embarrassing situation." Bai Ziqian said coldly.

Mrs. Bai looked at the culprit, Bai Ling, who was accusing the villagers of being ungrateful.

"Shut up! This is all the idea of ​​a money-minded evildoer like you. It's not embarrassing enough!"

Bai Ling, who was scolded sternly by Mrs. Bai, closed her mouth, lowered her head, and did not dare to say a word.

She had been married to Guang Ninh Mansion for more than ten years. She knew about the situation in the village not only 10% of the time, but also in 89 years. She never thought that she would capsize in a small landscape village.

Especially in front of my mother!

The Bai family is now headed by her mother, and she also expects her mother to give her more of the family's money.

She has been in charge of the Wu family for more than ten years. Her husband's family is getting worse and worse, and the huge dowry she brought has also made up for it. If she offends her mother, given how much her eldest brother hates her, he will definitely not be able to give her a penny anymore. !

After Mrs. Bai finished scolding Bai Ling, she walked up to the old village chief and Fan Jinshuiqing, bowed slightly and said, "I didn't think well about this matter. I hope you can forgive me."

Fan Jin stood up and returned the gift, and said in a gentle voice as always: "We didn't ask for anything in return. Madam, I'd better take this rice back."

The old village chief sat on the cool bed and did not get up. He only said: "Yes, other families in the village are not well off, and they will definitely not take in a strange child to eat and drink at home for such a long time;

Your grandson is also lucky and has met kind-hearted people, but even if there is no rice, they will not cling to your house, so please don't worry. "

Mrs. Bai was in a panic.

For the first time in his life, he was neither standing nor sitting, and felt that his face was being rubbed on the ground.

Bai Ziqian's face flushed, and he said hesitantly: "Uncle Fan, Auntie, this time it was my grandma and aunt who made the decision. When my parents come back, they will definitely come to thank me in person for my affairs!"

The implication is that grandma and aunt are not his parents, and they don't care about his affairs. His parents will prepare a new thank-you gift.

Old Lady Bai felt that her face was gone. Today's incident chilled her grandson's heart, but she couldn't say that this matter was too unkind!

Shuiqing was still looking forward to the thank-you gift before a stick of incense.

These days, the money for building the house has been earned, but who would complain about too much money? Especially next year may be a disaster year.

But now she has deeply realized that it is better to rely on herself than on anyone else!

Money, you still have to earn it yourself.

She declined: "No, no need to thank me, go home with your grandma.

You also know that I am going to build a house, and the bricks, tiles and soil will be very dirty and messy. Uh, see you later."

Facing the boy who was getting darker and thinner after more than a month and was about to cry, Shuiqing couldn't say cruel words, but the meaning of the words was very clear.

Bai Ziqian bit his lip and said softly: "I am different from them."

The people today were embarrassed, but it was because he had no ability. He was not the one who could be the master of the house.

"Grandma, let's go home." Whatever he said was like a quibble, it all depended on what he did later.

The gorgeous double-row carriages led the way, and one after another left quickly.

The people watching the excitement in the village also dispersed quickly.

Sun Jinhua was in a very good mood, and said with a gloating voice: "I thought your second uncle's family would get a large amount of gold and silver, but in the end, they got nothing, and they kept him for more than a month, wasting food in vain. Don't you think it's stupid?"

"Our family must not do stupid things in the future."

"The second uncle's family is such a joke."

"It's so funny."
