Chapter 7 Mr. Bai invites you

The Bai family is indeed short of money now, and Bai Ruozhu's words moved Bai Yihong. He thought for a while, and finally rewrapped the fresh soup noodles, stood up and said, "I'll go find Dr. Li and take a look. If there's no problem, we'll talk about it."

Bai Ruozhu stretched her neck and looked at her father's back, and couldn't help shouting: "Dad, don't spill it, it's worth something."

Not long after Bai Yihong came back, Bai Ruozhu asked expectantly: "Dad, how are you?" God knows how anxious she was, that Doctor Li didn't know his stuff!

Bai Yihong said with a smile on his face: "Doctor Li said there is no problem. They are all dried and ground aquatic products. Judging from the color and luster, they are all newly made, so they should be very fresh."

Bai Ruozhu became happy, "How about we make some soup tonight and try it?"

Lin Ping'er didn't object this time. It seemed that Doctor Li's words were very effective in Houshan Village.

Later, the soup was made by Lin Ping'er, and she added a little fresh soup powder. It tasted very good as expected. The whole family drank the whole pot of vegetable leaf soup without any oily smell.

Bai Ruozhu saw that it was almost done and said to her mother: "Mom, I will go to the market with you in a few days. Let's find a way to sell this fresh soup noodle."

"Isn't this fresh soup noodle very tasty? Let's keep it for you to appetize." Lin Ping'er said hesitantly. She could tell that her daughter's appetite was not very good recently.

Bai Ruozhu shook his head, "It's better to sell it. I need money to have a baby, and I can taste what's in it. We can make some ourselves in the future."

In the end, Lin Ping'er didn't object anymore. She felt that Bai Ruozhu got the things, and Bai Ruozhu could arrange whatever he wanted.

Two days later, the busy farming season was almost over. The wound on Bai Ruozhu's head also scabbed and gradually improved, but there was some itchiness around the scab. She resisted not letting herself scratch it, lest it cause an ugly scar.

Just the night before Bai Ruozhu and Lin Ping'er agreed to go to the market, someone suddenly came to the Bai family's old house.

The old house is where Bai Yihong's parents live. Bai Yihong's family split up a few years ago. The old man follows his eldest brother, and he gives the old man two hundred cash in support money every month.

Today is Bai Yihong's eldest brother Bai Yibo. As soon as he appeared, Bai Ruozhu felt that he was different from other villagers. After taking a closer look, he realized that most country people wear shorts, especially on such hot days, and Bai Yibo Bo was wearing a used green trousers, which logically wouldn't be very respectable in this rural place, but Bai Ruozhu felt that it was so tightly covered in summer that it was incompatible with the surrounding environment.

In the memory of her predecessor, her uncle was a boy student, but unfortunately he was only a boy student and did not even pass the exam to become a scholar. Bai Ruozhu's grandfather was named Bai Fu. Back then, her great-grandfather went out to run a business and made some money. When he returned to his hometown, he wanted to train his son to study. The eldest son Bai Fu was also promising. After studying for several years, he became a scholar, although he later failed. The method goes a step further, but in remote rural areas, scholars are already very impressive.

Bai Fu's biggest regret in his life was that he did not become an official, so he wanted to continue to train his son to study. However, his family's financial resources were limited, so he could only send his eldest son Bai Yibo to study. As a result, Bai Yibo was not as good as his father, who was even a scholar at his age. He didn't even pass the exam, but he still learned some sour smells, refused to work in the fields, and couldn't help with family matters. It can be said that he was not good at literature and martial arts.

Bai Yibo raised his chin with a goatee, looked at Bai Yihong almost through his nostrils, and said in a disdainful tone: "Second brother, dad asked you to come over."

Bai Yihong seemed to be used to him being like this, and did not show any displeasure, "Brother, what's the matter with dad?"

"You'll know when you go there. By the way, dad asked you to take that girl Ruozhu with you." When Bai Yibo mentioned Ruozhu, his tone became even more disdainful.

Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er exchanged quick glances, and both of them could see the other's worry.

Bai Ruozhu heard that today's incident was probably directed at her. She sighed silently in her heart. How long will this mess in her predecessor be resolved?

"Okay, let's pack up and go right away." Bai Yihong thought for a moment and replied.

"Second brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. Things in your family are making a big fuss. Don't make dad angry anymore. Dad is getting older and his body is not as good as before." Bai Yibo said with a serious look. If he hadn't With his nostrils pointing upward, Bai Ruozhu almost thought he was a good brother who cared about his younger brother.

"Okay, I understand." Bai Yihong's voice was a little muffled.

Bai Yibo patted his butt and left. Bai Ruozhu felt more and more that his blue shirt was not pleasing to the eye. Her second brother was also a scholar, so he didn't have that kind of virtue, right?

Lin Ping'er couldn't help but spit and muttered: "Why are you so proud? My son is also a Tongsheng, and his status is no worse than his."

"Forget it, eldest brother has always been like that, just ignore him." Bai Yihong sighed, then looked at Bai Ruozhu and said, "Daughter, don't worry about what your father says when I go over later. He is old, and some things may not be certain. Think clearly.”

Bai Ruozhu snickered in her heart, isn't this just a roundabout way of saying that Bai Fu is an "old fool"?

"Don't worry, Dad, I won't care if it goes in one ear and out the other." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile. She didn't regard those people as relatives, so why would she care about what they said?

Bai Yihong felt relieved and rushed towards the Bai family's old house with his family, but he never expected that the old man's anger would be greater than he imagined.

The old man of the Bai family took a cane and stood in the middle of the courtyard. His two already somewhat dim eyes stared at the Bai Yihong family who came in. Because he often frowned, the traces of the word "Sichuan" left between his eyebrows were even more obvious, showing the dissatisfaction in his heart. Joy. Of course, none of these could express his anger. As soon as he saw Bai Ruozhu's family, he waved the cane in his hand.

"Girl Ruozhu, come here, I have to teach you a lesson in family law today!" Mr. Bai, despite his age, is quite powerful. If he wasn't afraid that the neighbors would hear him, he would probably roar at the top of his lungs.

Bai Ruozhu guessed that Bai Fu would target her, but she didn't expect to use family methods. She was not beaten for nothing. Besides, she still had an innocent baby in her belly. What if something happened if the beating was not in the right position?

"Dad, what are you doing? Ruozhu didn't make any mistakes, why did you hit her?" Bai Yihong stopped him and tried to keep his tone gentle, for fear of irritating the old man even more.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Bai was not merciful at all. He swung the cane directly at Bai Yihong, and Bai Yihong did not dodge. The cane hit him on the forehead, and a bright red mark appeared on the side of Bai Yihong's face.

"Ah, dad, why don't you hide!" Lin Ping'er rushed forward and grabbed Bai Yihong, tears of distress almost flowing out.
