Chapter 27 No reward for no merit

"Thank you Mr. Bai for the reward." Zhou Fu said happily.

Bai Zehao glanced at the little sister secretly. What the little sister said was indeed right. He could hear happiness and even a sense of intimacy in Zhou Fu's tone. It was just like what the little sister said: it's easy to do things if you have money.

"Brother, don't be sorry for that little copper coin. If you want to have more contact with Mr. Du in the future, he will definitely not be able to come here in person every time. It is more likely to ask the young man next to him to deliver the letter. Let's get along well with the young man. Relationships are very necessary." Bai Ruozhu said before going out.

Bai Zehao is also a steady and attentive person. He has studied with his scholar grandfather for several years since he was a child. However, he grew up in a farm family and has not had much contact with the outside world. I really don’t understand the rules.

Fortunately, my little sister is smart enough, Bai Zehao thought happily.

There was no further delay this time. The group of people rushed to the Chamber of Commerce in a carriage. Du Zhongshu took the drafted contract and showed it to Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu quickly read it over and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she handed it to her elder brother and asked him to read it again.

Bai Zehao didn't expect that his little sister would ask him what he meant. He felt a little excited and looked at it very seriously, almost picking out every word. After reading it, he nodded to Bai Ruozhu, indicating that it was okay.

Bai Ruozhu readily signed the contract with Eucommia ulmoides, wrote her name, and stamped her fingerprints with red mud.

Only then did Du Zhongshu know Bai Ruozhu's maiden name. Ruozhu, is it as tough as bamboo? He thought of Zhou Fu's words, and Bai Ruozhu asked for a son-in-law. Unfortunately, her husband disappeared in an accident not long after the wedding. However, she withstood the rumors in the village with her big belly and survived strongly.

And instead of feeling sorry for herself, she worked hard for the children in her belly and for her family and brothers. In comparison, what did he, a young master who grew up in fine clothes and fine food, do?

If he could work harder, his parents might have a better life in the Du family, right? If he was promising, maybe his mother would have to face a few less aunts and sigh less? Or maybe if he is more promising, his sister will have better choices when she gets married in the future?

"Okay, thank you Mr. Du." Bai Ruozhu handed over the contract.

Du Zhongshu came to his senses and quickly wrote his name and pressed his fingerprints.

The contract is made in two copies, with each party keeping one copy. The Chamber of Commerce will record it on behalf of both parties, pay the file preservation fee every year, and then protect the contract.

Bai Ruozhu carefully dried the contract and put it away, and then the group walked out of the chamber of commerce.

"Mr. Du, this is my early idea. I've written it down for you to check. If you see anything that's not written clearly, just ask me." Bai Ruozhu handed a folded piece of paper to Du Zhongshu.

Du Zhongshu didn't expect that Bai Ruozhu had already thought about it, and there was a look of surprise on his face. He quickly opened it and read it again, and the surprise on his face turned into ecstasy.

"These, these ideas were all your own?" Du Zhongshu asked excitedly.

"No, I discussed it with my family." She didn't lie. She really told her family and asked her family for their opinions. Everyone agreed. This can be considered a discussion.

Eucommia ulmoides nodded slyly, "The Bai family is worthy of being a scholarly family. You guys are really underestimating your talents by staying in Houshan Village."

Bai Zehao's mood was a little complicated. He knew what his sister meant by "discussing". His sister's idea was considered good by the whole family, but just because they thought it was good didn't mean that others thought it was good as well. Nowadays, the young master from a wealthy family also thinks it's good, and Bai Zehao is the only one who thinks so. Knowing that his sister is more powerful than he thought.

It's a pity that he didn't do much, so he felt very complicated. He only regretted that he didn't study more so that he could help his sister. But it's not too late now, as long as he works hard, everything can be done in time.

"Master Du is serious, but my father still attaches great importance to farming." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile. They are a farming family and farming is indispensable.

"Yes, yes, I was too ignorant." Du Zhongshu smiled sheepishly, looking a bit cute as a young man. After all, he was a boy of seventeen or eighteen.

Although Du Zhongshu wanted to invite them to a restaurant for a meal, Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Du, for your kindness. I am getting sicker and sicker, and my energy is not as good as before. I just want to go home and rest."

After hearing Bai Ruozhu's words, Du Zhongshu could no longer force himself and asked a carriage to take the two of them back to Houshan Village.

Bai Ruozhu stopped the carriage near the entrance of the village, and did not let the carriage drive directly to their door. She didn't want to be too conspicuous, just once or twice. If there was a carriage this time, the villagers didn't know how they would gossip.

Bai Zehao must have listened to his sister's wishes, but he felt a little sorry for Bai Ruozhu, fearing that she would be tired when she got home. Bai Ruozhu stuck out his tongue at his elder brother, "Brother, how come you were fooled by me too? I'm in good spirits, but I just don't want to take advantage of others." Eat that meal cheap.”

"So it's like this. It really made me worry in vain." Although Bai Zehao's tone was a bit complaining, there was a smile on his face. He was really relieved that his sister was fine.

"It is said that no merit will be rewarded without reward. Once our toothpaste has made money and received dividends, it will not be too late to ask Mr. Du to treat us to dinner. It is only natural that we will eat at that time." Bai Ruozhu said and touched his belly. She didn't know how entangled she was. She was a foodie and a pregnant foodie. For her to refuse the delicious food in the restaurant was like killing her.

Fortunately, principle defeated greed in the end, and she said goodbye and came back.

Before the two of them reached home, they saw her mother at the door with her head raised, looking toward the village. She was relieved to see them. Lin Ping'er almost ran over and took Bai Ruozhu's arm.

"Daughter, are you tired?" Lin Ping'er asked worriedly.

"Mom, how can I be so delicate anymore? Don't worry." Bai Ruozhu took her mother's arm and shook it, with a coquettish tone in her tone. As a result, she turned around and saw her mother's white hair on her temples, as if A few more.

Bai Ruozhu's heart twitched. Has her mother been worrying more recently? Why is my gray hair getting worse? After all, it is impossible for her parents not to worry about her current situation.

The three of them entered the house and saw that their father and second brother were waiting at home. Her mother was sitting on a table full of dishes. Bai Ruozhu sniffed. She was right not to go to the restaurant. How could a restaurant have her mother's favorite dishes? delicious?

Although her mother's craftsmanship...

Well, the Bai family's food has been much lighter recently, otherwise Bai Ruozhu would be prone to edema, and Bai Ruozhu also made some fresh soup ingredients. With the fresh soup ingredients, the dishes will also have a fresh flavor, how can it be worse?

The family was preparing to have dinner when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, and a high-pitched female voice rang: "Has Ruozhu come back? Have you had dinner?"

======

Dear friends, I'm sorry. I don't know why the update was not posted last night. I was in a bad mood and didn't notice it. I would like to say sorry to everyone. Alas, yesterday the child was so naughty that I had to deal with him in various ways. He cried for two hours and then he went to sleep. However, after the spanking, I felt uncomfortable all night. It was really confusing...
