Chapter 68 The Zhang family’s kindness

After all the Zhang family members left, the Bai family members entered the main room, feeling a little depressed.

"If we provoke someone, we will get a reputation of being unfilial." Lin Ping'er muttered in her mouth.

Bai Ruozhu suddenly became excited, "No, her family can never afford this name!" The old man is also old and confused. He doesn't think about anything else just to save face. The old lady was fooling around and made outsiders think that the second wife of the Bai family was unfilial. What if someone used this as an excuse in the future and missed her second brother's future?

She didn't know much about the Danliang Kingdom that appeared out of thin air, but she learned from her second brother that the Danliang Emperor Wu Ning had just ascended the throne and was very young. He paid special attention to filial piety, and all the officials also learned from it.

She quietly looked at her second brother and saw that he had a calm expression, as if he didn't seem to care.

He has the arrogance of a scholar and thinks that it is enough to walk and stand upright, but Bai Ruozhu will never allow anyone in the family to be wronged. The second brother has studied hard for more than ten years and cannot ruin his future because of such things.

"Originally this was a good thing, but my grandma was a little too eager." Bai Ruozhu said and sighed, and then said to her parents: "Give half of the thank-you gift from the Zhang family to my grandpa and grandma. .”

The whole family looked at Bai Ruozhu with surprised expressions. It wasn't that the Bai family were stingy and were reluctant to give things to the old man. It was just that the old lady had made such a fuss just now, and no one was willing to give it out anymore.

Even Bai Yihong frowned and asked with some uncertainty: "Even if we send it there now, I'm afraid we won't miss it, right?"

Her father is actually a smart man, but he can only be a little confused when it comes to close relatives.

"Originally, I didn't plan not to give some to my grandpa and grandma. To put it bluntly, it's one thing whether I like them or not, but it's another thing to be filial to the elderly. Even if I don't like them, I should do whatever I want. Our filial piety must also be fulfilled. It’s just that we have to use our brains when giving this thank you gift, and we can’t give it away in vain.”

In her previous life, Bai Ruozhu had a college classmate who got married early. She had nothing to do to chat with her about how to get along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She told Bai Ruozhu that she really didn't like her mother-in-law and couldn't get close to her, but she should pay for the things she needed to buy. She would still give it as usual, she would not be short of anything during the holidays. She said she didn’t care about the money, she just wanted to have a clear conscience.

The same goes for treating the old house. Bai Ruozhu will not be so stupid as to tack on all the family's wealth, but she will still show filial piety to those who should be filial, just as repaying her father's gift of childbirth and upbringing, so as not to make the family feel guilty for this little thing. Ashamed, it makes people use this matter to find fault.

"Your nurse's hand was bleeding when she left. No matter what we give you, it will be an apology." Lin Ping'er felt panicked and gave Bai Yihong a hard look while speaking.

Just as the family was discussing what to do, the courtyard door was knocked again, and Fang Guizhi's voice came from outside: "Ruozhu, let me see you."

Bai Ruozhu stood up in a hurry and opened the door. As soon as Fang Guizhi entered the yard, he lowered his voice and said, "I just left your house when my family left, so I bought a piece of tofu, two fish and a jar of wine, and headed towards your grandfather's house."

"Ah?" Bai Ruozhu was stunned. The Zhang family didn't mention anything when they left, for fear that they would help them solve their trouble.

Outside the old house of the Bai family in Houshan Village, Zhang Liliang, his wife and daughter knocked on the door, and then shouted in a loud voice: "Mrs. Bai, I'm here to apologize to you."

The old man was sulking in the main room and did not react immediately, but Wang saw Zhang Liliang carrying something through the crack in the door, and immediately ran to open the door in a hurry.

"Hey, why are you so polite? Please come to the room and invite me." Wang's attitude became extremely enthusiastic when she saw Zhang Liliang carrying something.

Zhang Liliang waved his big hand and said, "I'm here to apologize to Mrs. Bai. I have to go back quickly if I have something to do at home, so I won't enter the house."

He deliberately spoke in a loud voice, which indeed attracted the attention of the people nearby.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Bai came to the door and said with a smile: "Why are you apologizing? Please don't offend me." After saying this, her eyes shone when she looked at the thing in the other person's hand.

Zhang Liliang handed the things over and said loudly: "This is my apology to you. It's all because of the hook on my cart. You scratched your hand when you touched the cart. I'm really sorry."

Old Mrs. Bai's finger had been wrapped up at this time and the bleeding had stopped for a long time. She hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's just a small injury. You guys can go in and sit down and have a meal at home?"

Her last sentence was in a questioning tone, not like a truly enthusiastic person who would bring a guest into the house and make sure to stay for dinner.

Zhang Liliang bowed to Mrs. Bai and said, "Thank you very much, Mrs. Bai. It's just that I still have business to do at home. I can't miss the time, so I'll leave now and come back to apologize another day."

After that, Zhang Liliang pushed the cart and left with his wife and daughter. When Mr. Bai arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw that the people had gone away, and the old lady was carrying a lot of things.

The old man's face was so grim that his chin almost dropped from his chest. He said coldly, "Get everyone in the house." Then he returned to the main room angrily.

No one saw the old lady of the Bai family going out that day, but the neighbors began to speculate. Many people in the village knew that Bai Ruozhu saved the Zhang family's baby girl. The Zhang family pushed a cart of gifts to thank her, but what happened to the old lady Bai? Why did you scratch your hand just by touching someone's cart? You don't want to touch the things in someone's car before they leave, right?

After the Bai Ruozhu family learned about the Zhang family's actions, they were very grateful. Bai Yihong said that he must go to the town to thank Zhang Liliang if he finds an opportunity.

In the evening of that day, brothers Bai Zehao and Bai Zepei carried a lot of things to their old house. People enjoying the cool weather on the road saw them and asked about them. Bai Zehao said with a smile: "My family has got some things, so naturally I have to honor my grandparents. That's what I did before." The guests are still there, but my mother hurt her hand again, so we had to send them off later."

Bai Zepei didn't like to talk, but he would occasionally add something. Adding in the previous conversation between the Zhang family when they went to the Bai family's old house to apologize, and some people's understanding of old Mrs. Bai, he roughly figured out the whole story, but no one said anything about the second wife of the Bai family. It was unfilial, but he praised the children of the Bai family for becoming more and more outstanding.

A few days later, Lin Ping'er discussed with Bai Yihong and decided to build a room in the yard. The eldest brother is also married, and the house is completely insufficient for living. The room where my daughter needs to be given birth and confinement will definitely not be available. The eldest brother and the second child live together. If the house is turned into a new house, where will the second child go to study?

Therefore, adding a room became an urgent matter.

In the end, the couple discussed it, because it would not take much time to add a room, and the backyard space was left open, so they would add it behind the main house. After it was built, they would build a new house for the eldest son, so that the Wang family's daughter could live more comfortably.

Just when the family was discussing the house, Mrs. Wang suddenly came to the door and brought news.

Wang Laidi was released from prison!
