Chapter 311 Fetching water from a bamboo basket is in vain

Bai Yihong endured it, but that didn't mean that the rest of the family could.

Lin Ping'er rushed over and pulled Bai Yihong behind her. She glared at the old man and asked, "Why do you beat him? After you gave birth to him, he worked as a cow and horse for your family for decades. After you gave birth to a child, you still had to be beaten." You continue to cause harm, and you favor your eldest son. He wants to kill the entire Bai family, but you still blame us for not saving him? You are also a scholar yourself, and your words don't even make sense. Where have you read all these books? ?”

Bai Ruozhu didn't want her mother to quarrel with the old man, and was afraid that her mother would be scolded, so she pulled her mother's sleeves, and then said to the old man: "Grandpa, it's not that we don't help uncle, the three adults who signed the letter have trusted me. The second brother’s moral character and literary talents also know that my second brother did not cheat. And the evidence is conclusive that the uncle committed a crime, so it is impossible for someone to confuse the law just to plead for him, right? "

Many onlookers nodded. They are speaking for you to prove your innocence, not to cover you up after you have committed a serious crime. That is unreasonable, and even the common people cannot stand it.

"You are such a sharp-tongued girl. Your uncle has already suffered a big disaster this time, and you are adding insult to injury to make his name in the clan. I, Bai Fu, don't have a granddaughter like you!" After that, he looked at Bai Yihong and said : "I don't have a son like you either!"

Bai Zepei walked to the front. He was a little dirty, but his temperament was different from ordinary people. He raised his hand and bowed to the old man, and said respectfully: "Grandpa, there is no need to blame my parents. They are also trying to save me and the entire Bai family. Grandpa, it's time for you to wake up. The Bai family is not from your family. There are so many young and promising disciples, should they all lose the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination and ruin Bai's future because of my uncle's fault?"

"Don't you speak so high-sounding, don't you mean that you don't care about your uncle's life and death for your own interests?" the old man yelled.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but sneer at the side, "Is it because the uncle cheated for his own benefit first, regardless of the life and death of his family and clan members?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the old man one after another, feeling more and more that the old man was being a little unreasonable.

At this moment, a woman suddenly took a cabbage and threw it at Bai Yibo, who was being executed. She also cursed: "It's all you who have killed a thousand people. You coaxed my son into buying your questions. You cheated me." Not only did you steal my family's money, but you also caused my son to be exiled from the country. I curse you to die miserably!"

It turned out that another group of candidates who had committed crimes were interrogated in the court, and each of them was sentenced to twenty scores, and then they were sent to the outside world and were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for life.

The woman who threw the cabbage at Bai Yibo was the mother of one of the Kaozi students. At this time, she had directed all her anger at Bai Yibo.

When the old man heard the noise, he felt sorry for Bai Yibo and hurriedly ordered the woman to stop. The woman was also a powerful woman. She pointed at the old man's nose and cursed, "You old fool, if you hadn't raised a good son, Come to harm us. Even if my son fails to pass the exam, he will not end up like this. It was Bai Yibo who came to my house and said that he would sell my son's exam questions. Otherwise, how could we ordinary people have access to them? My poor Son."

The woman started to cry as she spoke, because her son had already been taken out, and after beating Bai Yibo, she was about to beat her son.

Bai Ruozhu tugged on her mother's sleeves, "Mom, let's leave quickly, lest the old man find trouble again."

The whole family agreed, and quickly left the place where the matter was going wrong while the old man was not paying attention.

After walking to the outskirts of the crowd, Bai Ruozhu pulled her mother, pursed her lips in one direction, and asked, "That seems to be Widow Zhou, right?"

Lin Ping'er hurriedly looked over, nodded and said, "It's really Widow Zhou. Why didn't she rush over to see Bai Yibo? Didn't she say she was still pregnant with Bai Yibo's child?"

"Haha, she is in a terrible situation this time. All her efforts are in vain. She will definitely have to have a fight with the old house. Bai Yibo has brought harm to the legacy for thousands of years." Bai Ruozhu shrugged his shoulders and quietly concealed the helplessness in his heart. Go, the family is happy now, so don't say those unpleasant words.

In fact, she could already imagine that Widow Zhou would ask the old man for her one hundred taels of silver. She couldn't just draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing, right? But how can the old house have one hundred taels of silver now? At the end of the quarrel, you still can't go to her house?

No matter how much they hate the old man, if something breaks out in the village, as long as the old man is willing to wipe his face and beg them, they will have no choice but to help. Otherwise, the village chief and elders should come to persuade them.

They can sever ties with Bai Yibo, but the old man and the old lady are Bai Yihong's biological father and biological mother, and they cannot escape this blood relationship.

Bai Ruozhu sighed silently and followed his family to the west courtyard. As a result, after walking a few steps, the corners of her mouth raised slightly again. Maybe this method is not bad. Let's wait and see.

The family entered the west courtyard. Bai Zepei said a few words to his family, and said that he would go to the east courtyard to find Mr. Xie to express his gratitude. Mr. Xie was in the back hall when they were interrogated, and he should be home by now.

"Then you go quickly and be sure to thank sir properly. This time it is all thanks to sir and Mr. Li." Lin Ping'er said, suddenly she showed doubts, "Hey, didn't the Imperial Envoy say that the three adults jointly submitted a letter? Who else?"

Bai Zepei glanced at his sister quickly, and then said to his mother, "That's the man who saved Ruozhu."

"It turned out to be my benefactor. I didn't expect that he would help our family again. He is such a good person!" Lin Ping'er said excitedly, feeling very grateful to Jiang Yichun in her heart.

Bai Ruozhu's eyelids twitched. Why did she feel that the second brother's look at her had some unclear meaning? Could it be that the second brother had guessed something? Thinking about it like this, she felt uncomfortable, as if her second brother's cold eyes could see through everything.

"I'll go back to the house and feed Dengdeng." Bai Ruozhu returned to the room as if running away.

In a corner of the room, Fang Guizhi looked at Bai Zepei's leaving figure, smiled and shed tears.

It's great that he's okay!

After Bai Ruozhu finished feeding Dengdeng, she took the child to the main room and discussed business matters with her parents.

"Mom, Dad, I thought about it, let's make the eldest brother's wedding bigger." Bai Ruozhu said straight to the point.

"I just told your father not to postpone it. Isn't it just a short time? But your father is afraid that there is only two days left and there is no time to prepare." Lin Ping'er said.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "It's too rushed. Even the ingredients for the banquet are not ready. I just looked at the almanac. Seven days later is also a good day for getting married. Why don't we change it to seven days later? There is enough time. Some."

Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong nodded, these few days were enough for them to prepare.

"In addition, I also want to invite the whole village. Our family should thank the folks in the village." Bai Ruozhu said again.
