Chapter 8 Literary men are proud and never afraid

Mr. Bai didn't expect that Bai Yihong wouldn't evade at all. When he saw the stubbornness in his son's eyes, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart, "Okay, okay, are you determined to protect that girl? You don't even recognize me as your father." ?”

"Son, I don't dare. It's just that Ruozhu girl is indeed right. Please don't listen to the rumors outside." Bai Yihong straightened his body and couldn't move. No matter how hard Lin Pinger could not pull him, it was as if he wanted to talk to the old man. The look of confrontation.

Bai Yibo and his wife Bai Wang rushed out. He shouted at Bai Yihong: "Second brother, what do you mean? Do you know that you are being unfilial? How dare you disobey your father!"

Mr. Bai was furious, but he also knew that it was not good for Bai Yibo to shout at the top of his lungs like this, so he coughed twice and said, "Everyone, come in, don't make any noise!"

Bai Ruozhu followed her parents into the house. She took a closer look at Bai Yihong's injuries and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. It was obvious that her father could avoid it. If he didn't hide, he just wanted to help her take such a beating so that the old man could calm down. .

"Second brother, why don't you try to dissuade me? How could you talk to your father like this? Besides, it was your Ruozhu who did such a shameful thing, and it made us too embarrassed to go out and see people." Wang said in a strange tone. Lin Pinger said.

Bai Ruozhu didn't like hearing this. She was giving the old man face for her father's sake, and who was the Wang family in front of her?

Bai Ruozhu knew what the old man would care about. She immediately looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "What did the aunt say? I didn't hear clearly. Do you dare to say it again?"

Ms. Wang was usually very powerful. She put her hands on her hips and said, "If you didn't hear me clearly, I'll say it again. You did something embarrassing and it hurt us!" Her voice was so loud that it almost caught up with the loudspeaker.

Mr. Bai swung his stick at Mrs. Wang, "Shut up! Who asked you to speak? Get out of here!"

Wang's reaction was relatively quick, but she was brought a little further by the stick. The blow on her leg was painful, and she burst into tears.

"Father, what are you doing? You can't be so biased. After all, Yibo is just a boy. He's too embarrassed to go out now. A while ago, a family in town wanted to invite him to a restaurant but they declined. I can't say anything. Finished?" Wang said while howling, but her voice didn't weaken by half.

Mr. Bai was so angry that he wanted to sew her mouth shut. He didn't understand the principle that family scandals should not be made public. What a prodigal woman!

Bai Ruozhu snickered on the side, this Wang's rank is not very good, no wonder he couldn't beat her mother before the family was separated.

"What does the sister-in-law mean by saying this? Our head has made it clear to the village chief that there are witnesses to the marriage and tokens. If you are talking nonsense now, I know that you have heard lies, but if you don't know, you think you are deliberately discrediting your niece. ." Mrs. Lin is a fierce character and a sharp talker, so she fought back without showing any weakness.

"Which library did the uncle just talk about? I'll go to the town and explain it to them in person, so as not to delay the uncle's future." Bai Ruozhu deliberately looked worried.

Wang didn't expect Bai Ruozhu to ask this, and she didn't know what to say for a while. Bai Ruozhu snickered, and she didn't brag about drafting. Only a boy like her uncle who had been born for ten thousand years would be invited to sit in a restaurant. Isn't it misleading?

Wang opened her mouth to scold Bai Ruozhu, but was interrupted by the sound of the old man tapping the cane on the ground, "Old man, can't you hear me? Go help your mother cook. I'm just trying to be lazy here." ?"

Bai Yibo hurriedly winked at Wang to signal her not to anger the old man. Wang glared at Bai Ruozhu and left the main room angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense to me. What's going on in your family that I don't know about? You really want to worship me, and you didn't even notify me?" Mr. Bai is a face-saving person, even if he is very angry at this time, He also said it in a lowered voice. He was afraid that the words would be spread out, so he just held his breath, and his old face turned a little red.

The matter had reached this stage. Bai Yihong said bravely: "Dad, this is true, otherwise you should ask Zhou Deshun. At that time, Changsheng was marrying into a wife. I know you don't like marrying into a wife. I'm not afraid that you will be angry."

Bai Fu pulled out the cane in his hand, but this time he didn't rush towards anyone, but instead pulled it to the ground, "Okay, you are protecting that shameless girl and you don't even care about me as a father." ?”

It's not easy for Bai Ruozhu to interrupt when the elders are talking, especially the Bai family has always been headed by Bai Fu. Bai Fu is also a scholar, and he pays attention to farming and studying the world. In the memory of his predecessor, before Bai Yihong separated his family, no one was allowed to eat in the Bai family. Speaking, the old man should learn from the literati's values ​​of eating without talking or sleeping without talking.

Bai Ruozhu felt unhappy, but she still lowered her head and listened to the lecture. Little did she know that Mr. Bai was not frightened at all when he saw her, nor did he kneel down. He jumped up and raised the cane to hit her.

Bai Ruozhu lowered her head and didn't pay attention. When she reacted, she heard the sound of the cane hitting the flesh, but the hit was not on her, but on her eldest brother Bai Zehao.

Bai Zehao is about 1.8 meters tall, and he is considered a tall and strong young man in Houshan Village. He is strong and quick in reaction. He suddenly blocked Bai Ruozhu, and then glared at Mr. Bai angrily. He actually bluffed Mr. Bai.

"Brother, are you okay?" Bai Ruozhu was startled. The voice just now was really loud. The old man was very strong. She hurriedly pulled Bai Zehao's shoulder to see. Bai Zehao grinned. It was probably too painful. But he endured it, forced out a somewhat ugly smile, and said to Bai Ruozhu: "It doesn't matter, be careful not to get hurt."

Bai Ruozhu felt her nose was a little sore, and she sniffed hard. Her father and her eldest brother were both injured because of her. Although the incident could not be attributed to her, she still felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Okay, everyone has rebelled. Since you want to protect her, you have nothing to do with my old Bai family from now on!" Bai Fu threw away the cane and shouted.

Bai Ruozhu originally didn't want to have a conflict with the old man, fearing that things would get worse, but at this time she couldn't help it.

She walked out from behind Bai Zehao, faced the old man directly, and said, "Grandpa keeps saying that my father won't listen to you, but are you willing to listen to us? Would you rather listen to outsiders' gossip than believe the words of your own son or granddaughter? Just Are you going to kill your great-grandson because outsiders are talking nonsense? Don’t forget that Changsheng married into my family, and the child in my belly will be named Bai!"

The old man didn't expect Bai Ruozhu to say that. He stared at Bai Ruozhu, his eyes flashing, looking at Bai Ruozhu and then at her belly, not knowing what he was thinking.

No one dared to say anything for fear of offending the old man at this time. Bai Zehao stared at the cane in the old man's hand closely, for fear of hurting his little sister by swinging it again.

And Bai Ruozhu looked at the old man without fear. She was right, why should she avoid him?
