Chapter 65 The ugly behavior at the dinner table

When Bai Ruozhu heard this, her face darkened. This Wang really knew how to seize the opportunity to step on the second wife and call her father illiterate in front of the guests. How could Bai Ruozhu, a protective person like him, endure this?

"Look at what the aunt said, my brothers and the others are indeed grateful to my grandfather for their enlightenment, but on weekdays, my father teaches us the principles of life. Otherwise, how can we behave uprightly now? These are not related to whether we have read or not. Guan Guan, there are many uneducated families in this village, but there are also many good families." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile on her face and a soft voice, as if she was not refuting the eldest uncle, but just saying something as simple as that.

At this time, after all, some respect for elders and younger ones has to be paid attention to. It is not easy for Bai Ruozhu to talk back to Wang directly in front of the guests.

"Of course, my father was also taught by my grandfather. Although he is not as capable as his uncle to pass the Tongsheng Examination, he still hasn't read any books. When my father talks to us, he always says that it was my grandfather who taught us." Bai Ruozhu added with a smile.

Wang was a little clever. She moved the old man of the Bai family out and stepped on Bai Yihong. If Bai Ruozhu and the others were anxious to defend Bai Yihong, they might have refuted the old man's teaching of Erlang.

It's a pity that Bai Ruozhu didn't take the bait at all. She worked hard to protect her father and promote the old man. It can be said that there is no leakage.

At this time, Bai Zehao happened to call Erlang over for dinner. Both of them heard Bai Ruozhu's words clearly and couldn't help but nodded secretly. Even Erlang, who was so thoughtful, looked at Bai Ruozhu with more appreciation.

Mrs. Wang heard Bai Ruozhu bite the word "tongsheng" a little harder, and she gritted her teeth in anger. However, it was hindered by the presence of guests, especially the guest who gave a cart of gifts. , she endured it.

Zhang Liliang quickly followed suit and said, "Just look at your children and you will know that Brother Bai is the more knowledgeable. I have never studied at all. I will have to learn more from Brother Bai in the future."

Bai Zepei took a quick look at Zhang Liliang. He was studying in the room and not entertaining guests. It didn't mean that he didn't know what was going on. At this moment, he had a better impression of Zhang Liliang.

He entered the room and saluted Mrs. Bai, then greeted the guests before sitting down in his seat.

Mrs. Wang was still sulking at this moment. Seeing Erlang's calm expression and refusing to call her, she said sourly: "Erlang doesn't even recognize people like you who are studying, and even your uncle doesn't care." ? Can you really become a scholar by studying like this? "

Lin Ping'er couldn't bear it any longer. She originally thought that the guests would be here and didn't want to meet the Wang family, but she didn't expect that she would talk about her son like this.

"As my sister-in-law said, won't it be clear after the provincial examination whether you can pass the exam?"

When Wang wanted to say something else, the old lady next to her quietly nudged her with her elbow. Only then did Wang remember the main purpose of today and swallowed the rest of her words.

Bai Yihong smiled apologetically at Zhang Liliang and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's start eating. Brother Zhang, you're welcome. Just treat it as your own."

After saying that, he directly gave Zhang Liliang a chopstick of pickled pork with pickled vegetables. This meat was brought by Zhang Liliang.

On one side, the old lady saw that two large pieces of meat had been taken away, and her face felt painful. There were only so many pieces of such good meat on the plate, and they were all counted. She had just combed them, and there were only twelve pieces.

When she thought of this, the old lady became unhappy, thinking that her second son was raised in vain. If she didn't come, she wouldn't be able to eat anything, and she wouldn't know how to get some meat for her.

Everyone started to move. Mrs. Bai's eyes showed a fierce look. She tried her best to forget about the meat in her bowl. She picked up three large pieces of pork with pickles and vegetables in one chopstick, and then she put the meat into her mouth desperately, without even caring about the rice. Eat, for fear that if you eat slowly, the meat will be gone.

The people who were still picking up the food couldn't help but be shocked by her actions. The most important thing was that she ate too quickly and made a squeaking sound from her mouth, which was really, really unsightly.

The corner of Bai Ruozhu's mouth twitched. She, a grandmother, has been married to the old man, a scholar who likes to talk about rules, for decades. Why hasn't she learned some manners?

With her attitude, the Zhang family did not dare to eat, for fear of making her unhappy if they ate too much. Zhang Liliang simply finished the food in the bowl and started drinking with Bai Yihong.

Rong'er sat next to Bai Ruozhu, her big eyes secretly glanced at the pork belly with pickled vegetables, but she didn't stretch out her chopsticks. Although the Zhang family loves their daughter, such meaty dishes are rare, and Bai Ruozhu's cooking is extraordinarily delicious, so it's no wonder Rong'er isn't hungry.

But my children are well-educated, and they don’t even hold out their chopsticks when they see their parents. Even if they want to eat, they don’t dare to move.

Bai Ruozhu sighed quietly, and wanted to use her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat for Ronger, but as soon as she did so, the old lady caught her with her chopsticks.

"Ruozhu, you're about to give birth. Don't eat these greasy things. Be careful not to cure them." The old lady said with a smile. There was a mouthful of oil and sauce on her mouth. She hadn't finished chewing the food in her mouth, and her words were a bit awkward. It was vague and allowed people to see the food in their mouths.

Bai Ruozhu loosened her chopsticks with some nausea and said, "Grandma, please eat."

The old lady thought that Bai Ruozhu didn't want to eat, so she happily picked up the piece of meat, but she didn't want Bai Ruozhu to pick up another piece of meat. She was unhappy in her heart, and wanted to say something to Bai Ruozhu, but she didn't want Bai Ruozhu to pick up another piece of meat. He put the meat into Ronger's bowl.

How could Bai Ruozhu have the nerve to give Rong'er another piece of meat that Old Madam Du had touched with her chopsticks? That's why she let it go so quickly and didn't care about the old lady.

"Sister, I, I don't want to eat." Ronger quickly glanced at Mrs. Bai and said timidly.

Bai Ruozhu touched Ronger's head and said, "You are still growing. You need to eat something good. Eat it quickly. Don't disobey your sister."

After saying that, she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the sausage from another dish and put it into Ronger's bowl.

Ronger sniffed and naturally felt Bai Ruozhu's kindness towards her. She nodded and started eating.

But the old lady was extremely unhappy. Even after people told her not to eat, she still went up to the pole to pick up vegetables. Wasn't it just because her parents were rich and she was anxious to curry favor with her?

Bai Ruozhu didn't know what her grandma was thinking, and even if she did, she would just sneer. She winked at her mother, who also greeted her and brought some vegetables to Rong'er's mother. In short, it's okay for the old lady to be embarrassed. Their family can't neglect their guests.

Ms. Wang also didn't care about customers eating their own meat. She just liked to dress up and paid attention to her appearance. She was not as scary as the old lady's eating appearance, but she had a look of displeasure on her face, as if she was in debt to the table. She costs the same amount of money and makes others feel uncomfortable when they look at her.

Bai Ruozhu sighed, thinking that a good meal was ruined by these two people.
