Read Novel Full Chapter 75
Old Lady Bai had a shortness in breath, but she still hurriedly slapped Bai Erzhu’s arm and said: “You’re blaming your uselessness on me? Didn’t you think of it, Zhao Lan is a widow, Sanzhu has long been dead. She will not stay here forever. Who can tell how long she will stay in the family? Our family will have to rely on you to work in the field sooner or later. So, how can you still rely on Zhao Lan?”
Bai Erzhu didn’t show any care, he only smiled and said: “You don’t have to worry about that. Third Brother has been dead for ten years. But, Zhao Lan still stayed with us for ten years. Why? Isn’t it because of that bitch, Zhi’er. As long as that bitch is here, it’s impossible for Zhao Lan to leave. Don’t you still understand that?”
Old Lady Bai realized Bai Erzhu’s analysis makes sense. Zhao Lan stayed in the Bai Family was really because of Bai Zhi. But, if Bai Zhi left the Bai Family, or to be more precise if they sent her to the Baiyang Village, will Zhao Lan continue to stay?
Old Lady Bai looked at Bai Erzhu and said: “Bai Zhi is already 12 years old, she will be 13 in a few more months. She will reach the age of marriage soon. So, she will leave this house sooner or later.”
Bai Erzhu replied: “Isn’t that marriage thing is decided by you? If you let her get married, she can get married. But if you don’t let her marry, she can’t get married. Isn’t that simple?”
Old Lady Bai remembered the marriage price for Bai Zhi, so she simply said: “I already found a marriage candidate for that dead girl. After three days, she will leave the family. Bai Zhi could only stay in our Bai Family for three more days.”
Bai Erzhu's eyes widen in horror: "Niang, are you that old so you are confused? If you sent away that bitch, Zhao Lan will not work. Then, who will plant in our field?”
“Who will plant? Do you want this old lady to plant in the field?” Old Lady Bai angrily said.
Bai Erzhu suddenly remembered the scene earlier. Her mother asked Mrs. Liu to buy meat. His heart clearly understood that the other party might have promised a lot of money. His mother was so happy and willing to buy meat, so there must definitely a lot of money.
“Niang, is that person from Baiyang Village? Everyone knows that old bachelors in Baiyang Village want to marry a wife and that they pay a lot of money. How much did you sell that bitch?”
Old Lady Bai gave him a cold sneer: “What sell? We are merely acting their matchmaker. People are willing to give 20 silver coins. So, what are you saying?”
When Bai Erzhu heard that the price was 20 silver coins. The unpleasant feelings in his hear disappeared without a trace. He rushed to the old lady and said: “Niang, can you give me half the price of 20 silver coins?”
Old Lady Bai hurriedly waved her hand: “That can’t be done. These 20 silver coins have already used. So, how can I give you the half?”
Bai Erzhu immediately had a long face: “Then, tell me, what’s the use of these 20 silver coins?”
“Dabao is already 18 years old. We should find him a wife. So naturally, we will use it on his marriage.”
Bai Erzhu knitted his eyebrows: “But, even if you want to let him marry, you don’t need to spend all the 20 silver coins. We are not in Baiyang Village, there is no need to pay a high price.”
Old Lady Bai opened her mouth again: “Naturally, we shouldn’t spend much. The rest will be used to Xiaofeng’s tuition fee next year. We need a lot of money for his school. And again, Dabao needs to buy new clothes. I don’t want to spend a lot of money, but I think this is not enough.”
To put it bluntly, all those money has nothing to do with his family. They will all be used to his elder brother’s family. Their family was not much worthy than his elder brother’s family. And now that his elder brother’s hands were injured, all his work fell on his head. Doesn’t it seem all the good benefits fell on his elder brother, but he has nothing at all?
