Chapter 179 Those who are clean will clean themselves up

Bai Yihong was called to the old house that night and was scolded by the old man. However, no matter how angry the old man was, he never called Bai Ruozhu to scold him, as if he didn't even bother to see Bai Ruozhu.

"Our Bai family is also a scholarly family, with three scholars in each family. It is quite famous from far and near, but look what your precious daughter has done?" The old man pointed in the direction of Bai Yihong's family, as if he could point to it this way. It's the same on Bai Ruozhu's nose.

Bai Yihong didn't say a word. Everyone in the second room knew the rumors in the village and knew that Mrs. Wang was spreading them everywhere. They also knew why Bai Ruozhu did this.

"Forget about her messy marriage, she still challenged me to start her own business. She really regarded herself as a person. In the end, she sold her little sister for money. Do you know how the people in the village scolded her?" The old man paused. , the look of disdain on his face became even stronger, "I scolded her for being evil because of money. She will be punished by God sooner or later."

Bai Yihong couldn't listen anymore and said loudly: "Dad, don't listen to Mrs. Wang's nonsense. Ruozhu is also trying to save Fang Guizhi. That girl's parents want to marry her to an old widower who beat his wife to death. It's not like she's being sold. Is it better than being beaten to death?"

Before going out, Bai Ruozhu repeatedly told Bai Yihong not to argue with the old man, let alone explain more, and not to expose her plan. It didn't matter what others thought of her.

Having said that, the whole family felt very sorry for Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu was saving people and shouldn't have a bad reputation.

"Have you not heard that a scholar cannot be killed or humiliated? Even if Fang Guizhi is beaten to death, it is still better than being a low-level slave." The old man looked righteous.

"That's what the Fang family came to ask for. Ruozhu can't help but save face." Bai Yihong said dullly. He knew clearly what was going on, but he couldn't say it. He could only watch Bai Ruozhu being misunderstood and wronged. This feeling made him sad. It feels like there is a bone spur stuck in the throat, which makes it very uncomfortable and cannot be swallowed easily.

In the end, the old man scolded Bai Yihong for a long time before letting Bai Yihong leave. However, Bai Ruozhu was very embarrassed about this and felt that he had harmed his family.

Of course, at the same time, the news that Guizhi Niang wanted to marry her daughter to an old widower and later sold her daughter to make more money also spread, and the rumors about Bai Ruozhu were quickly suppressed. After all, Guizhi Niang Things are a little more exciting.

That night, a family meeting was held in the second room of the Bai family. The initiator was Bai Ruozhu, and the content was about going to town to sell hand cakes. The family quickly divided the work and got busy together the next day.

Bai Ruozhu went to Xie's Mansion early the next morning. Yu Hongxiu was very considerate. After welcoming Bai Ruozhu into the courtyard, he was not in a hurry to let her take Mr. Xie's pulse. Instead, he asked her to meet Guizhi first, and also He walked away deliberately so that the two of them could have a good chat.

"Ruozhu, did Mrs. Wang say bad things about you everywhere?" Fang Guizhi often ran around the village and knew many people's personalities very well. In addition, he was careful and sensitive, so it was easy for him to think of Mrs. Wang's revenge.

Bai Ruozhu knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he said with a smile: "She talks so much about running a horse and carriage, who can really believe it? You don't have to take it to heart, the innocent will self-purify. Anyway, as time goes by, everyone will forget about it."

Fang Guizhi's eyes were red, "Don't hide it from me. Everyone knows that I was sold, and they will definitely arrange it for you. It's all my fault for getting you involved."

Bai Ruozhu hugged her shoulders, gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "It's been really hard on you these days. No matter what happens now, it's better if you are safe. Do you want me to watch you?" If you marry that kind of person, won’t you feel at ease for the rest of your life?”

After saying this, Guizhi cried even harder. Bai Ruozhu kept wiping her tears, but the tears were like beads with broken strings and could not be stopped.

Bai Ruozhu simply stopped wiping and said, "It's okay if you cry to vent. After you cry, don't think about anything else. There's still a long way to go. You have to work for me to repay the money, but you have to take good care of yourself quickly." ."

"Well, I heard what Mrs. Xie said. You paid for me and I will definitely pay it back to you in the future." Guizhi said with sobs.

Bai Ruozhu poked her head with his finger, "Who asked you to pay back the money? You said you would work for me. I will teach you accounting later. In the future, you will help me manage the business and be a female manager."

Fang Guizhi was stunned when he heard this, and forgot to cry. He just looked at Bai Ruozhu, and after a long while he asked with some uncertainty: "Can I learn it?"

"Why can't you learn? Famous teachers produce great disciples. How can I, the teacher, teach you?" Bai Ruozhu smiled proudly.

Fang Guizhi was amused by the appearance of her stinky fart, and seemed to see hope for the future. Her mood also changed, and she gradually got better.

"Are you used to being here?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Fang Guizhi nodded vigorously and said: "Mrs. Helper will give me wages every month.”

Guizhi said with an embarrassed smile, "How can I have the nerve to ask for other people's wages? I've already caused enough trouble for them."

"I have discussed these with Mrs. Xie in advance. If she wants to pay you, you can take it. You don't get paid for free if you do a good job. If you are embarrassed, just use your wages to buy a gift for her when you leave. "Bai Ruozhu suggested.

Guizhi thought about this and nodded in agreement.

Bai Ruozhu told Guizhi her next plan again, saying that when she left this area, she could pick up Guizhi and spend time together. Guizhi was happy to hear that and her mood suddenly improved a lot.

Because she still had to diagnose Mr. Xie's pulse, Bai Ruozhu couldn't chat with Fang Guizhi for too long, so he quickly took her to find Yu Hongxiu.

Yu Hongxiu saw that although Guizhi's eyes were red and swollen, she was in much better spirits. She knew that she had thought a lot, and she felt relieved. She also liked Guizhi, a simple and sincere girl.

"Sister Hongxiu, when are you and Mr. Xie free? How about I diagnose your pulse and decide on the next recipe?" Bai Ruozhu said with a smile as soon as he saw Yu Hongxiu.

Yu Hongxiu smiled and took her arm and said, "I have already agreed with my husband that it will be fine now. I will send someone to the study to call him over."

Soon the little maid brought Mr. Xie over, and Bai Zepei came with her. Bai Ruozhu smiled and called out when she saw her second brother. Bai Zepei glared at her and said, "You should be more diligent. If you order it for my husband, The recipe is inappropriate, so I won’t take care of you!”

Bai Ruozhu suppressed a smile. Although the second brother was fierce, he actually wanted to take the responsibility. If anything went wrong, it was his brother who didn't take good care of the girl. Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu felt warm in her heart. She was like this I really have a wonderful family throughout my life.
