Chapter 347 This kind of life is just fine

When her sister-in-law mentioned it, Bai Ruozhu noticed that her lips were a little sore. She originally thought her lips were chapped due to fatigue yesterday, but her sister-in-law said they were swollen. She couldn't help but feel strange, so she reached out and touched it.

"Yes, Ruozhu's lips are cracked and red and swollen. You should drink more water today to avoid getting angry and getting sick." Jin also said.

Bai Ruozhu said oh, feeling a little weird in her heart. She ate her breakfast in a few bites, and then ran to get a basin of water. She cast a shadow in the water. Unfortunately, the water was not a mirror after all, so she couldn't see it clearly at all.

She touched her slightly swollen lips and felt that they were just dry and cracked because of the inflammation. How could they be swollen and a little painful?

Suddenly, she thought about how one night she was dragged by someone to "practice" together, and her mouth swelled up. She applied ointment to reduce the swelling, so her family didn't notice it the next day.

Did that guy sneak attack her last night? Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but widen her eyes, no, she must interrogate him properly next time.

Although Jin and Wang Caiyue asked Bai Ruozhu to rest, Bai Ruozhu was too embarrassed to do anything, and finally joined the work team despite their dissuasion. Lin Ping'er sent Zhou Deshun's wife away and helped with the work. The four of them quickly cleared away the dishes.

Bai Yihong and his son returned the borrowed tables and chairs early in the morning, and returned with dishes and dishes. With such busy work, it was almost noon.

Jin and Wang Caiyue rushed to the kitchen to cook. Bai Ruozhu watched with emotion. It seemed that she would not have a lot of leisure in the future, and it would be a good thing to have more sisters-in-law to love her.

Finally, Jin and Wang Caiyue cooked lunch together. Just when the meal was almost ready, the old lady came to the door.

"Second brother, what do you want to do by taking your father away?" The old lady ignored anyone when she came in. She found Bai Yihong and asked.

Bai Yihong was also a little worried about this matter. Now when he was asked by the old lady, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Why didn't you say anything? Didn't you do something bad that you didn't dare to tell my mother about?" The old lady stared, "And I heard about you buying land secretly. Now you My eldest brother is not at home, and our life is getting more and more difficult. If your life is getting better, why don't you care about your parents? "

After she finished speaking, she glared at Lin Ping'er fiercely and said, "You are the head of the family. Come and make an idea. From now on, the monthly filial piety money will be doubled. Do you agree or not?"

"Mom, this..." Bai Yihong's face turned red. On the first day after his new daughter-in-law came into the house, he had just drank her tea in the morning. Not long after, his mother came to embarrass him, and let his father-in-law Where should I put my face?

"Mom, someone just came into my house. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to come and tell me?" Lin Ping'er's temper suddenly rose when she saw Bai Yihong didn't speak. She glared at Bai Yihong. This man was so angry when he saw his parents. It made her so angry.

"Besides, since his uncle is no longer at home, won't the expenses be reduced? With one less mouth to eat, he also saves money on pens, ink, paper and inkstones. His uncle doesn't have much labor, so your life should be better now. On the contrary, my family seems to be making money. There is a lot of money, but it will cost a lot of money for Zepei to go back to Fucheng Academy. What if we don’t save some money? We only have Zepei as a scholar now, so we have to give him up." Lin Ping'er said with a smile on her face.

Bai Ruozhu secretly gave her mother a thumbs up. Her mother was getting better and better, and her answers were really accurate. She also said calmly, "Zepei is a scholar." Not only did she politely reject the old lady's request, It is also appropriate to remind the old lady not to be as stubborn as the old man.

Jin also said at the right time: "Auntie, if your Zepei becomes a high official in the future, you will be the old lady of the official family. That status is not ordinary, and you will definitely enjoy endless blessings."

The old lady was a little shaken, but she said firmly: "I can't count on them. It's better if none of them come to piss me off."

"Mom, even if we are nervous, we will not lose your and dad's filial piety money. Let's do this. As a family, we will be a little more nervous, and we will give you an extra 100 yuan every month from now on." Lin Ping'er also relaxed appropriately and said.

When the old lady heard this, she beamed and smiled. For the first time, she felt that Lin Ping'er was quite pleasing to her eyes. "Okay, I am being considerate of my grandson. I will chew less and use more so that he can read well."

Everyone secretly pouted, but no one exposed the old lady's lie.

Later, Lin Ping'er said that when the monthly payment was due in two days, she would send the extra 100 yuan along with her. The old lady happily ate her meal and did not find any further trouble. Anyway, she left with a full burp. , and didn’t even ask about the old man again.

By the time the old lady left, Bai Yihong's face was so heavy that he was almost dripping with water. Mrs. Jin saw the clues and winked at Bai Yizhong. The two said they were going to clean Mr. Wu's house and found an excuse to go out.

After all, Wang Caiyue was the new daughter-in-law. When she saw something was wrong, she said she was going to the kitchen to wash the dishes and avoided it.

Bai Yihong had a stern look on his face. When he could talk, he looked at Lin Ping'er and said, "What do we do to make money? Don't we just want our family to live a better life? It's not like you are just obsessed with money, and you are still plotting with the old man like this!"

Lin Ping'er was also a little annoyed. She glared at her and said, "What? Do you think I've treated your mother badly? Go out and tell people who can give you five hundred coins a month for your filial piety? Add one hundred to this." The text is only 600 yuan, which is enough to feed two elderly people in his family for three or four months. Why did I plot against your mother?"

The monthly filial piety money had been increased to 500 yuan before. If it was revealed, it would definitely be the first family in Houshan Village.

"Doubling what your mother said means giving them one tael of silver a month. Do you think our money comes from the strong wind? Aren't you afraid of showing off your tongue if you tell me?" Lin Ping'er's voice got louder and louder as she spoke. Emotions also rose.

Bai Ruozhu hurriedly grabbed her mother, and then said to her father: "Dad, our family really doesn't have any cash now. It seems like we have a lot of money coming in, but there are a lot of things at home, and we have to spend money on favors. We really don't have money." Use it. Especially this time when the uncle had an accident, we spent a lot of money, and inviting the whole village to dinner was also a huge expense. Although everyone who came to the banquet was given gifts, they were only small items. You also Can’t you exchange it for money?”

After hearing Bai Ruozhu's words, Bai Yihong didn't change his attitude as before, but his face became a little darker. He said with a cold face: "We have no money to make anymore, the old man is counting on us, we can sell hand cakes for a day How much is the income? Do you deserve to be so stingy to the old man?"

When Lin Ping'er heard this, she shouted again, "Do I have less food for your parents or less clothes for them? It's not like you don't know your mother's temperament. If I agree immediately today, she will be able to come to me in a few days." If you need two taels of silver or three taels of silver, if you don’t have peace every day, then this kind of life is just fine!”
