Chapter 233 Heartbeat at close range

Bai Zepei looked sideways at Bai Zehao and asked, "Brother, didn't you say anything like asking people to find me?"

Bai Zehao laughed twice. It was obvious that he really said what he said. The whole family smiled helplessly. Bai Zehao was a kind-hearted person and couldn't help it.

"I didn't dare to make any random promises to others. I just said that you are studying with your husband now. I will go back and ask if you can help him or something." Bai Zehao explained, "But he refused as soon as he heard it and said he couldn't. He caused trouble to our family, and said that he was too weak to keep up, and that it would make things difficult for the second brother, so I didn’t say anything more."

The whole family nodded, feeling that Bai Zeji knew how to advance and retreat, and could understand himself more clearly. He was much better than Bai Yibo. Bai Yibo relied on his uncle's reputation to compete with Bai Zepei for the recommendation opportunity, and he didn't even look at it. See if you have the ability to test people.

"Brother is becoming more and more reliable in his work." Bai Zepei nodded and said, "I misunderstood you just now."

Bai Zehao smiled stupidly and scratched his head, saying, "You should make some progress if you learn from my little sister every day."

The whole family laughed. Bai Ruozhu looked at her eldest brother inexplicably. What did she learn from her? She is busy cooking every day, what is there to learn?

But she immediately thought of a way and said, "I can recommend a good place to cousin Zeji."

"Oh? Hurry up and tell everyone." Bai Yihong was quite anxious. He sincerely hoped that the Bai clan would have more talented people.

"Didn't Mr. Wu get sick before? He was supposed to be cured after the New Year, but now he's cured earlier than expected. But today I see that he doesn't look too good. He is alone and needs someone around him. Take care of him. So I think if cousin Zeji can become a disciple of Mr. Wu, on the one hand, he can learn from Mr. Wu, and on the other hand, he can take care of Mr. Wu’s daily life, which would be the best of both worlds." Bai Ruozhu said.

Bai Zehao slapped his thigh, "This is a good idea, why didn't I think of it?"

Bai Ruozhu pursed her lips and snickered, "How can you men be as careful as us women?"

Bai Zehao scratched his head and thought to himself, this is not because of being careful, but because, little sister, you are just smarter than others.

The whole family agreed with this method, and Bai Yihong said: "Second uncle said that he would come and sit at the stall in two days, and we will talk to him then."

Bai Zepei also nodded, "Given Brother Zeji's current situation, it is most suitable to study with Mr. Wu. I guess it won't be a problem to be admitted as a scholar. It just takes time to accumulate knowledge."

Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and said, "I don't know if there are any spare rooms over there in the school. If not, you can let cousin Zeji live in our yard, and he can also help us clean it. If dad goes back Taking care of the fields, the two of them can be companions.”

Bai Yihong was a generous man and had no objection at all. Lin Pinger listened to his daughter, so she naturally had no objection.

Bai Ruozhu smiled evilly in her heart. She was afraid that her father would change his mind one day and have to ask them to live in Houshan Village. If Bai Zeji lived in the yard, he would be embarrassed to drive them away. No, she would have to mobilize Bai Zeji to take his parents over to live there, which would be safer.

Bai Ruozhu's little abacus clicked, while Bai Zepei raised his eyebrows and glanced at her with a teasing look in his eyes, mocking her for playing tricks again. Bai Ruozhu wrinkled her nose at him. Did he want to go back to Houshan Village and be tortured by his old house every day?

The family returned to the west courtyard. Bai Ruozhu and Lin Ping'er ate some hand cakes and then set up a stall again.

As soon as they arrived at the stall, they found that the people around them looked at them strangely. Bai Ruozhu murmured in her heart, is there something wrong with them not setting up a stall all morning?

Mrs. Laifu came over quickly, pulled Bai Ruozhu and said, "Oh, why are you here to set up a stall today?"

Bai Ruozhu felt even more strange. There was business in the afternoon, so how could he delay making money?

"Oh, you don't know yet. A group of people came to make trouble this morning and wanted to destroy your stall. Fortunately, you guys had something to do and didn't leave the stall today. It seems that they are your aunt's natal family, but you didn't see your aunt in person." Mrs. Fu said with a worried look.

Bai Yihong became anxious when he heard this and asked: "People from the Wang family? How many are here?"

"Seven or eight men, and a woman who seems to be Wang's mother." Mrs. Laifu said, "When they saw that you were not here, they wanted to spread the table. I shouted to them, saying that the table was When they smashed my house, I went to the Yamen to file a complaint and asked them to pay me compensation. They finally stopped, but they kept yelling that they would come again."

The whole family frowned. Bai Ruozhu still had her child with her. What if they encountered each other and made trouble, pushing and pulling each other, even if they bumped into each other, what would they do?

"Otherwise, why don't we set up a stall today?" Lin Ping'er asked uncertainly.

Bai Yihong also nodded and said, "Let's go back first, especially Ruozhu still has Deng Deng with him."

But Bai Ruozhu shook his head and said, "No, let's continue to set up a stall. We can't escape the first day of the new year, but we can't escape the fifteenth. I hope they come again today, and we'll see who is unlucky then."

Bai Zehao also rolled up his sleeves and said, "In the worst case, I'll fight them."

"Father, mother, brother, you guys set up the stall first. I'll go and come back. If they come again, you hold them back for a while. But I guess they should come back tomorrow morning." Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and said.

When Lin Ping'er saw Bai Ruozhu hugging the child and leaving, she stretched out her hand and shouted, "Be careful, or else send the child home first."

"Okay, I'm going to send Deng Deng off right away." Bai Ruozhu hugged Deng Deng and left without looking back.

However, she did not go back to the west courtyard first, but went to the Yamen. She quickly found Wang Luji and Wang Minglu who were on duty, told them about the trouble the Wang family was about to make, and asked them to help take care of it.

Wang Luji's eyes widened, "The Wang family hasn't learned a lesson yet. They really don't know how to live or die. We happen to be assigned to patrol the market these days. This matter is really expensive for us to take care of. It doesn't matter if they want to cause trouble, we can just catch them and reveal them." More merit.”

Wang Minglu laughed when he heard this, "Yes, it saves us trouble. Ruozhu, don't worry, we will patrol near your stall now. If they dare to make trouble, we will arrest them and take them to the Yamen to punish you."

"Then thank you, Brother Wang and Brother Minglu." Bai Ruozhu thanked them and hugged Dengdeng and walked towards the west courtyard.

After taking a few steps, a voice sounded from behind, "I happen to be free and can help you look after the child."

"Ah?" Bai Ruozhu suddenly stopped at his feet and turned around hurriedly, but the person behind him didn't expect that she stopped suddenly and turned around. Fortunately, he had Qinggong and dodged, so he didn't expect the two of them to collide. But for just that moment, the two were very close, and Bai Ruozhu seemed to feel his chin brushing against her forehead.

There was a thud, and her heartstrings seemed to be plucked by something...
