Chapter 385 Beating your wife or loving your wife?

Early the next morning, Bai Ruozhu and her father set out for Linjiang Village. Xiaosi originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by Bai Ruozhu. She left Deng Deng in the care of Fang Guizhi and planned to leave as soon as possible, so It's not convenient to take Xiaosi with me.

Bai Ruozhu hid two packets of medicinal powder in her sleeves and had already secretly made up her mind.

"Dad, let's take a look at the damage to the crops and pay them some money as required by the Zhou family. They won't be allowed to plant the land anymore." Bai Ruozhu said after the two got into the carriage.

Bai Yihong nodded, "That's what I mean. I'm afraid Yang Laosan can't persuade him well. Even if we lose a season's worth of food, the Zhou family may not be able to survive."

Bai Ruozhu made this decision not because she sympathized with the Zhou family, but because she was afraid of trouble.

The two went to the Zhou family, and then went to the fields to see the situation. It was indeed as the Zhou family said, the crops were badly damaged. So the two families discussed it, and finally the Bai family compensated the Zhou family with some money, and the land lease was cancelled, and the Zhou family no longer needed to cultivate the land.

The Zhou family thanked Bai Ruozhu and the others profusely. They looked so honest and honest that people were worried. Bai Ruozhu couldn't help complaining about how her second brother found such a family in the first place. Being honest was too honest, but it was too much.

After the Zhou family left, Bai Yihong looked at the damaged fields with distress and muttered about how to better manage them. Bai Ruozhu was spinning leisurely in the field, her sleeves gently drooped down, and fine powder floated out of the sleeves.

These powders can cause allergies, but will not have any impact on the crops, and the powders can only last for three days. If no one touches the crops within three days, the powders will naturally lose their efficacy.

After she learned what Yang Laosan had done, she started making this powder. If Yang Laosan came again in the next three days to cause trouble, she guaranteed that Yang Laosan's whole body would be itchy, red, swollen and pus.

"Dad, let's go back." After the powder was sprinkled, Bai Ruozhu turned to her father and said.

Bai Yihong was still worried, so he looked at Bai Ruozhu and asked, "What should we do with this land? Are we really going to waste it like this?"

Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, "We will wait a few days. Then we will hire someone to help farm the land and we will pay him wages. Whether the property is productive or not is our responsibility, we will be responsible for our own profits and losses. Even if Yang Laosan makes trouble, we can't blame him." On the head, there must be someone willing to do this, right?"

"This is a good idea. Someone must be willing to do it. But if Yang Laosan always makes trouble, it's not an option. It would be such a waste." Bai Yihong sighed heavily as he spoke.

Bai Ruozhu laughed, thinking that he wouldn't be able to do it in a few days.

The two walked towards the entrance of Linjiang Village, intending to find a donkey cart to return to the town. Not long after walking, Bai Ruozhu suddenly saw a familiar figure from behind. She couldn't help but paused and stared at the woman in the distance carefully. stand up.

"Hey, isn't that Xiya?" Bai Ruozhu muttered.

When Xi Ya came to Bai's house to meet Yu Hongxiu, Bai Yihong was not there. He had only heard of this person but didn't know what he looked like, so Bai Yihong looked over and asked, "Is this the distant relative of Mrs. Wang's family?"

Bai Ruozhu nodded, thinking that Xiya was not from Linjiang Village, so why did she appear here? Judging from the hairstyle, she is already married. Could it be that she is married to Linjiang Village? An idea suddenly came to her mind: Xi Ya is marrying Yang Laosan!

After the two found the donkey cart in the village, Bai Ruozhu asked the middle-aged man who drove the cart, "Uncle, I just saw a distant relative of an elder in our village here from a distance. I wonder if he is married to Is the Yang family in your village?"

The man who was driving the carriage laughed and said, "The third son of the Yang family just got married. I guess it's the one you mentioned."

Bai Ruozhu and Bai Yihong glanced at each other, both thinking that Yang Laosan had already married a wife, shouldn't this be a newlywed? Why are you still staring at their fields and causing damage?

"I remember that girl's family conditions were not good and she was a poor person." Bai Ruozhu said tentatively.

The coachman echoed: "Yes, if the family is not very poor, who would marry Yang Laosan? Let me tell you secretly, Yang Laosan said a while ago that he would rather sell himself as a slave than marry. give him."

The coachman had a gossipy look on his face, and he spoke with great enthusiasm, "It's because he has a bad temper, loves to drink, and beats his wife so loudly that no one in the village knows about it. But strangely enough, he doesn't dare to beat her now. ”

Bai Ruozhu looked puzzled and asked, "Why? Did his conscience find out?"

"Who knows, anyway, I heard that he was happy and drank again just two days after getting married. He beat his little wife in the yard. As a result, the little wife became epileptic and lay on the ground frothing. He drank too much. My wife was frightened and woke up. She was probably afraid that she would not be able to get a wife if she was beaten to death again, so she restrained herself." The coachman said and shook his head, probably feeling sympathy for Xi Ya who was beaten to the point of foaming at the mouth.

Bai Ruozhu also sympathized with Xi Ya. It was really unfortunate that her family was poor and had a relative like Mrs. Wang. He didn't know how much money Mrs. Wang made from her marriage to Yang Laosan.

"It's strange to say that Yang Laosan is an unreasonable man. He said before that the Zhou family in our village influenced him to marry a wife. He went to the land rented by the Zhou family to make trouble, but the village chief didn't treat him. As a result, he married Now my daughter-in-law has suddenly stopped. A few days ago, she even accompanied her to her father-in-law’s house, as if she had changed her gender.”

The coachman spoke very enthusiastically, but Bai Ruozhu and her father looked at each other. The coachman didn't know them and there was no need to lie to them. Could it be that the Zhou family was lying?

Bai Yihong saw that the driver was talking enthusiastically, so he didn't rush to speak. After getting off the car, he asked Bai Ruozhu: "Daughter, do you think the Zhou family is up to something?"

Bai Ruozhu sneered, "We'll know in a few days whether there's something uproar or not. Let's go to Linjiang Village again in three days."

Bai Yihong didn't know that Bai Ruozhu had sprinkled the powder, and thought she was going to have the two parties confront each other, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just muttered in his heart, why three days?

As a result, within three days, Yang Laosan went to the Bai family stall again. It was Bai Zehao who rushed back to the west courtyard and asked Bai Ruozhu to come and have a look, saying that Yang Laosan wanted to see Bai Ruozhu by name.

When Bai Ruozhu rushed over, Yang Laosan was sitting at the stall eating hand cakes. Next to him sat Xiya, who was wearing brand new clothes. She also had a hand cake in her hand, with a shy expression on her face. smile.

When Lin Ping'er saw Bai Ruozhu coming, she winked at her. She looked over, and sure enough, Yang Laosan didn't notice her at all. His eyes were fixed on Xi Ya, which looked a little cautious and flattering.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. It was beyond her expectation that someone like Yang Laosan would show such an expression!

At this time, Yang Laosan saw her, his face suddenly turned upside down, he put the cake in his hand on the table, stood up and said fiercely: "If you help my wife see a doctor again, the debt your family owes me will be written off." .”
