Chapter 66 The murder caused by the thank-you gift

At this time, Bai Zepei suddenly stood up and said, "Mom, don't you still want to deliver food to grandpa? I just have some questions that I want to ask grandpa for, so I will deliver them to grandpa right now."

When the old lady heard that she had left some food for the old man, her eyes lit up and she said, "Don't worry, I'll just bring it with me when I go back later."

Bai Zepei's expression was indifferent, showing no emotion or anger, "Anyway, I have something to ask Grandpa, so I always have to go there." After he finished speaking, he ignored the old lady, but saluted the Zhang Liliang family and said politely: " I'm sorry for neglecting the three of you. I'll come back later to toast to Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Liliang originally thought that Bai Zepei didn't like to talk, and he guessed that some literati were aloof, but now it seems that he is quite polite, and he may soon be a scholar, and he is so polite to him. How can he be aloof? He obviously has a calm personality. .

He hurriedly said a polite word and saw Bai Zepei go to the kitchen to get the food and quickly left the Bai family.

Bai Zepei looks thin, but he is not weak, and he moves quite neatly.

Bai Zehao originally wanted to say that he would just go run errands, as his second brother was already working hard enough at school, but he soon guessed that Bai Zepei had other arrangements, so he didn't say anything to grab a job.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at the second brother's back, and then at the old lady who was unhappy with the second brother and left after picking up the food. She felt that something good had happened. Thinking of this, she felt better again and took care of herself. Eat the meat with chopsticks.

The old lady's eyes glanced at her body like gouge knives, as if she had snatched away the meat that the old lady had put to her mouth. She thought it was funny, could the old lady finish the table of food by herself?

This is her home, does she still have to look at other people's faces when eating food? Besides, she cooked all the dishes on the table. Does the old lady care if she eats whatever she likes?

The old lady finally couldn't help but spoke, "Ruozhu, you are quite old now. Don't just eat by yourself, but also greet the guests."

Ronger looked at the old lady with wide eyes and said, "Grandma Bai, my sister has been bringing me vegetables. I have enough to eat."

The old lady suddenly felt that she could no longer hold on to her face, but she couldn't argue with a child, so she had to swallow her breath.

Bai Yihong's face was very embarrassed. He respected his mother, but he also felt sorry for his daughter. Although her daughter had done nothing wrong, his mother called her "greedy" in front of the guests. Such remarks really affected the reputation of the woman's family.

If she is an unmarried girl, she is most afraid of being known as "lazy in food" and "not able to have children".

"Mom, the dishes on this table today are all made by Ruozhu." Bai Yihong thought for a while and couldn't help but say it.

The old lady looked at Bai Ruozhu with some surprise. She had always thought that the food was very fragrant, so she guessed that it was not made by Lin, so she directly guessed that it was made by the Zhang family's daughter-in-law, but she never thought that Bai Ruozhu's head would be cooked. .

Wang, who had been chewing bones for a long time, spat them out, "Hey, Ruozhu is really clever. If he hasn't left the court yet, he will definitely find a good family." As he said this, he laughed like a fool.

She was trying to find a way to poke Lin Ping'er's heart.

The Wang family's second daughter Bai Ruolan is a few months older than Bai Ruozhu, and they were also talking about getting married before, but Bai Ruolan's marriage has never been settled.

On the one hand, Bai Ruolan is not good-looking and is always outclassed by her cousin Bai Ruozhu. On the other hand, she feels that her grandfather is a scholar, her father is a child student, and her eldest sister married into a good family in the town. She must not be worse than her eldest sister. . Therefore, it has been delayed until now.

But Bai Ruolan didn't feel that she had any problems at all. She even felt that it was because Bai Ruozhu recruited a son-in-law and her husband-in-law disappeared, and the rumors caused affected her to find a good family.

Wang was not a reasonable person, otherwise she would not have been able to raise such a daughter, so she also blamed Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu knew Wang's thoughts and smiled sweetly at her and said, "Thank you for the compliment, auntie."

Wang's eyes were dazzled by Bai Ruozhu's smile. Bai Ruozhu was always sweet-looking, but now, although her body has become heavier and her face is rounder, she looks more charming. Even the woman Wang was stunned. Only to come back to his senses, only to be replaced by deep jealousy and anger.

Just when Mrs. Wang was about to say something else, the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open came from outside, followed by Erlang's cold voice: "Dad, Mom, my grandpa is here."

Bai Zepei accompanied the old man into the house. The old man walked very neatly and quickly, with a sullen face as if he was unhappy. However, when he saw Zhang Liliang, he immediately smiled and said, "Today I happened to read that Confucius said that a friend came from afar. I was very happy, so I came over to join in the fun."

Facing the old scholar in front of him, Zhang Liliang hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Junior has seen Mr. Bai, just call me Liliang."

Everyone saluted Mr. Bai and gave him a seat, and then he sat down. Lin Ping'er got up and went to buy the old man some dishes and chopsticks, and saw Erlang quietly giving her a "relaxing" look. She instantly put a smile on her lips and gave Erlang a look.

This kid is exhausted from studying, yet he still worries about these things.

By the time Lin Ping'er came back with the bowls and chopsticks, the old man had already started chatting with Zhang Liliang. The old lady and Wang were sitting very upright and no longer rushed to pick up the dishes. Unfortunately, most of the dishes were "spoiled" by them. Well, these two people not only picked up the meat as soon as they saw it, but also used chopsticks to turn it over on the plate very unruly. The good dishes were turned around in a mess, which made people lose their appetite.

Fortunately, the old man brought back the dishes that Bai Zepei had given him, and asked Bai Zepei to add them to the table to eat and drink with Zhang Liliang and Bai Yihong.

Most of the men were drinking in the back, so the women removed their bowls and chopsticks and left the table. The old lady didn't want to move her buttocks at first, but the old man glared at her and said in a low voice: "You two go help clean up, don't get in our eyes here."

No matter how reluctant the old lady was, she could only stand up, but her eyes were like gouging out knives and she greeted Erlang, but it was a pity that Erlang didn't even look at her.

After Bai Ruozhu left the main room, she couldn't go back to hide directly, so she had to move a stool and sit in the courtyard. She was really tired from cooking today, and she couldn't stand even if she kept standing.

As a result, she saw the old lady walking towards the cart of thank-you gifts. She probably wanted to see what the Zhang family had given her, so she could make some money.

Bai Ruozhu frowned. Before the guest left, he went to fiddle with the thank you gift. Isn't this too rude? She couldn't help shouting: "Grandma, what are you looking for?"

As a result, the old lady's hand suddenly trembled as she stretched out her hand, and then she shouted "Mom!" Bai Ruozhu took a closer look and saw that the old lady's hand was scratched by something and was bleeding!
