Chapter 85 The token is missing

It's a pity that Bai Yihong hasn't woken up yet, but Bai Ruozhu knows that although her father is honest, he is not a fool, and he will understand soon, but she doesn't know how he will feel when he understands.

Mr. Bai praised a few words, and seeing that Bai Yihong had always been very humble, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Don't be humble, you are indeed different now. After Erlang becomes a scholar, your status in the village will be even different. He still sounded serious and thoughtful, "In the future, if the two brothers help each other, life at home will definitely get better and better."

"They have a good relationship as brothers and will definitely help each other." Bai Yihong didn't react at all and fell into the trap quickly.

Bai Ruozhu wanted to remind her father, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything. Even if she reminded her, it would be useless. The old man would definitely not give up until he achieved his goal today.

Sure enough, the old man said it urgently, "Our family has always been brothers and sisters. You and your eldest brother have been on good terms for many years. I have no regrets even if I go. Your family situation is better now, I think. It's time for your brother to get down to business, so as not to delay things for too long."

A person in his forties is still a child. Now he feels that it has been delayed for a long time. The old man is really tolerant. Bai Ruozhu secretly cursed.

Bai Yihong now understood what the old man had said, and his expression became strange. Thinking of his father's previous compliments to him, bitterness suddenly filled his heart. After so many years, his father has never really looked at him. No matter what changes he has, the number one priority in his father's heart is still the boss.

Generally, parents will pay special attention to their eldest son, because there is an unwritten rule: the eldest son inherits the family business and goes to the countryside. The eldest son has the obligation to support the elderly. Even if the family is separated, the elderly will live with the eldest son. In addition, if there are many children, the youngest child is often favored. Therefore, the eldest son Bai Yibo is the most valued in the Bai family, and the youngest daughter Bai Zhi is the most favored. Bai Yihong, who is in the middle, is the one who is always ignored. of.

It’s just that you can’t be too partial, otherwise your children will be heartbroken.

When the old man saw that Bai Yihong didn't hum, he knew that it was difficult to talk about the matter. He sighed slightly, but he still spoke.

"Your eldest brother is a little unforgiving, but his knowledge is still good. Now you can talk to the school in the village. Just help your eldest brother and let him be the teacher. Anyway, your eldest brother is rooted here. , I am definitely more dedicated than other gentlemen, if it doesn’t work, won’t I still be there to watch?”

"Dad, it's not that I won't help. What can I say? The village likes Wu Xiucai, and it's not easy for him at his age." Bai Yihong said bravely.

The old man stared, but still suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Wu Mengwei is knowledgeable, but his fate is unlucky. Don't harm the children in the village."

Even Bai Ruozhu couldn't stand listening to these words. Wu Xiucai's wife died early, so it's hard to believe? In ancient times, medical treatment was underdeveloped, and sometimes a cold or a headache would kill someone. Do they think that their living relatives have a hard life?

Moreover, talking about people behind their backs and gossiping like this are really not the behavior of a gentleman. It is in vain that the Fei Bai family has been talking about family tradition and the pride of scholars. It is all bullshit!

"Dad, how can you talk about people like this? It's not like no one in the village mentions my eldest brother. How do the elders decide where I can talk?" Bai Yihong also changed his face and strongly disagreed with the old man talking about Wu Xiucai like this.

The old man was questioned by Bai Yihong and couldn't hold it in anymore. He said angrily: "I know that I have always cared more about your eldest brother. That's because he is the eldest son. Are you complaining about my partiality or jealousy of your eldest brother? Already?"

"Grandpa, my father didn't mean that. We are gentle people, so it's okay to help, but I'm not sure whether it will work." Bai Zehao is obviously more flexible than Bai Yihong, and his words temporarily suppressed the old man's anger. .

Bai Ruozhu knew that the old man would definitely not leave if her father refused, so she winked at her father. Bai Yihong was now very convinced of her daughter. Although she was reluctant, she followed her eldest son's lead and agreed.

The old man softened his tone and said, "Dad, I know you are in trouble. If your eldest brother can be a teacher in the school, it will be good for him and your family. In the future, will Ruozhu's children not be taught by her uncle?"

Bai Ruozhu pouted quietly, don't worry, if she can rest assured that she is not her biological mother!

Bai Yihong nodded slightly, but did not hum again. In fact, he could not accept the old man's statement in his heart.

Finally, when the old man saw that he had finished talking, he stood up and left. As soon as the old man left, Bai Yihong's whole body collapsed and he couldn't stand upright even when he was sitting on the stool.

He sighed heavily and said, "Do I really have to mention it in the meeting tomorrow? Otherwise, I won't go to the meeting because I'm sick, right?"

Bai Ruozhu shook his head, "Then I can't let you go. I'll accuse you of being unfilial and unfilial later."

Bai Yihong's eyebrows knitted together when he heard this, and he sighed again and said, "What should I do? I really don't want to do that unconscionable thing."

The old man was not easy to talk to Lin Ping'er. Now she snorted coldly and said: "You also know that you have no conscience. Look at what the old man said about Wu Xiucai. I really opened my eyes today. This person can't be selfish. Is this the case?"

Lin Ping'er spoke quickly. Although her words were disrespectful to her father-in-law, Bai Yihong couldn't find any reason to reprimand her. What his father just said about Wu Xiucai was too much.

"Dad, don't worry. When you go to the meeting tomorrow, you can just tell me that grandpa asked you to tell me that you want to ask your uncle to be a teacher in the school. You also said that he will keep an eye on your uncle." Bai Ruozhu said, "Things It’s not that complicated, you just help the old man pass on a message, and even a scholar can speak a word. As for whether the elders choose to choose the uncle, it’s none of your business.”

Bai Ruozhu said and laughed, "Elderly people are not living in vain, their eyes are bright."

After hearing this, Bai Yihong felt that this was the best, so he put the matter aside. However, when he thought of his father's previous attitude, his mood could not get better quickly.

Bai Ruozhu didn't persuade his father much. He couldn't persuade his father about this kind of thing. It was best for him to figure it out himself.

She went back to the house to sleep after a tiring day. When she walked in, she seemed to feel something was wrong with the quilt, but because she was so tired, she didn't think much about it and fell asleep.

After waking up early the next morning, Bai Ruozhu regained her energy and immediately realized that something was wrong. She hurriedly got up and checked the secret compartment where she hid her money. She was relieved when she found that her and Fang Guizhi's money was still there. tone.

But when she looked at the wooden box at the foot of the kang, her face suddenly became extremely ugly. The jade pendant, the engagement token left by Chang Sheng, was missing! ——
