Chapter 445 Tough

"What about that thing?" Mrs. Bai asked. "Where did those things you bought go?"

Bai Erlang was speechless for a while.

Mrs. Bai continued: "How many things did you keep in your house? The rest are all for you to give away. It's not that I don't want you to play with the children in the village, but I didn't play that way either, so much money for the New Year, said It's gone, it's gone."

When the old lady Bai heard the words, she immediately said: "Erlang, you are still young, and let your mother take care of you. Don't worry, our family is not short of money, and your mother will not use your money."

Bai Erlang wiped his tears and said, "Grandmother, I want to give something to my friends, and they have given me something too. I just don't need to spend money indiscriminately in the future. You can ask my mother to return the money to me."

Master Bai also said: "Mother, Erlang has grown up, not as good as before, and he earned the money, not from the family, so let him take care of it."

"No," the old lady Bai's face sank, and she said firmly: "The money in the family is not blown by the wind. Erlang has no restraint in spending money, so let his mother take care of it. If he wants to use the money, he will usually give him a few taels. That's silver."

"A few taels of silver are enough for what," Bai Erlang said, "If Zhuangzi buys novel seeds, or does something, he doesn't know how much it will cost."

"Don't lie to me, look at me and don't know, the money that Zhuangzi spends now is all from the Shanbao family, what kind of money do you use?"

"Mother," Master Bai couldn't help but said, "You see that Shanbao manages his own money..."

"Is your son the same as Shanbao?" Mrs. Bai interrupted him and said, "Shanbao's money has been saved. Apart from buying some toys, the child spends most of the money on books and pen and ink. Look at Erlang. Where is his money spent?"

Master Bai persuaded for a long time, but the old lady did not agree. In the end, the old lady became angry and said simply: "I'm going to sleep, don't stand here, don't quarrel after you go out, let the money for the time being to his mother. Put it away and talk about it when he grows up."

Mr. Bai talked to Mr. Zhuang about his youngest son's education some time ago. He knew that this child can't just be beaten, and he has to praise him. Sometimes it's more effective to put a stone on him than to beat him with a fist.

In the end, I didn't expect that it was going well with my son, but I would be frustrated with my mother and wife. Master Bai was also a little angry, and he withdrew after bowing with a sullen face.

Of course, with his son.

Bai Erlang felt that there was no hope of getting the money back. Fortunately, he still left 29 yuan with Shanbao, otherwise he would have cried to death.

He swore that he would cry to death in front of his mother to show her.

Master Bai dragged his son away quickly. Seeing that her husband was angry, Mrs. Bai felt a little nervous in her heart, and hurriedly chased after her with her skirt.

When approaching the main courtyard, Master Bai stopped and asked his son to go back first. After Mrs. Bai caught up, she said solemnly, "Give the money back to Erlang."

Mrs. Bai obviously didn't expect him to say this, and she opened her mouth to defend. Master Bai suddenly said with a gloomy face: "Ms. Chen, even if you want to take money from Erlang, you should have asked him first, or told him. , I just remembered, why didn't you mention it to Erlang during the meal just now?"

Mrs. Bai's face turned pale, not because of Master Bai's questioning, but because Master Bai called her "Chen Shi". Since they got married, this is the second time he has called her that.

The first time was when he wanted to send Dalang to the county school.

"Master, you..." Mrs. Bai said after luck: "Don't you know how much Erlang spends?"

Master Bai said impatiently, "If the family gave this money, it would be fine, but he earned it."

"That's from you..."

"That's also earned," Master Bai knew what she was thinking, because the three children bought out the wheat seeds and sold them to him at a high price, the old lady and the Chen family were a little upset these past two days, he said: "Since I said that Let the three children do it by themselves, then we can't get involved too much. In business, since I am willing to do this business, I will not lose money. I didn't tell you, I will sell these wheat at a higher price. Are you going to sell it?"

"Then you say, do I count as cheating three children?"

"Of course not, you are an adult..."

"Just because I'm an adult?" Master Bai interrupted her and said, "Don't say I can make a lot of money from it, even if I can't, I'd be happy to see three children grow up like this if I lose money!"

"My mother is getting old, and I can't say something about her just now, but now you listen, let's not say anything about Shanbao, just say Manbao, you know, the little girl from the Zhou family is more than yours. My son is still two years younger, and he made so much money from me, and in the situation of their old Zhou family, so much money was given to the child!"

Master Bai asked her, "Is that a few hundred taels rare because of our family's wealth? Why can their Zhou family do it, but our Bai family can't."

"Man Bao is very sensible, she never spends money indiscriminately, how is it like Erlang..."

Master Bai was a little tired, his voice lowered, and he was a little weak, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Then let him learn! Don't you know that your son has changed a lot?"

Master Bai said word by word: "This time is different from the past, do you know that? A year ago, no, just ten days ago, Erlang told you that he could earn more than four hundred and ninety taels, do you believe it? ?"

"What? Four hundred and ninety taels? Isn't it only two hundred taels?" Mrs. Bai exclaimed, "I think there are only twenty silver ingots in the box."

Master Bai was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud, and after laughing, he asked Mrs. Bai, "Look, your son has been able to hide money separately, no, he has learned to use money to test you, do you think he is still you? Do you know your son?"

Mrs. Bai's face turned pale.

Master Bai waved his sleeves and said, "Give him the money back. You always think that he won't manage money and will spend a lot of money, then he won't manage money for the rest of his life, and will always be lavish!"

After all, turn around and go back to the house.

Mrs. Bai stood at the gate of the courtyard for a long time before she entered the room with red eyes.

Master Bai didn't sleep on the bed, but slept on the couch. After a long time, he said quietly, "Mr. Zhuang was drunk before and dragged me to cry for half the night. You and I both underestimate Mr. Zhuang, he is An excellent gentleman, but it's a pity that Dalang has no fate with him, otherwise I really want to bring Dalang back from the school to continue to teach Mr. Zhuang."

Mrs. Bai was startled.

"But Mr. Zhuang is such a good man. Qian'er took my hand and said that Man Bao is the most savvy child he has ever seen, whether it is a man or a study."

Mrs. Bai didn't quite understand the meaning of this.

"And Shanbao is also very good. He is better at reading than Ziqi. Now Erlang sits on the left with Manbao and on the right. He is taught by Mr. Zhuang when he enters the school, and he mostly plays with the two of them when he leaves the school. , you are pressing him at this time, not for his own good, but to harm him."

Mrs. Bai fell silent.
