Chapter 70

070 Joe's Nao

The fourth eldest Bai Dingfu on the side didn't say anything when he heard his mother say this about his daughter-in-law, and picked his teeth with a thin bamboo stick crossed up, looking like a fool, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

Qiao was very angry. If it wasn't for the old woman's harsh treatment, she would have lost a son. Now that there is no male in the fourth room, she was bullied like this!
Qiao Shi was angry and did not dare to talk back to old Meng Shi, so she angrily pinched her man Bai Dingfu and gave him winks frequently.

Unexpectedly, Bai Dingfu waved Qiao's hand away impatiently, and then said displeasedly: "What do you know, my second brother is famous, and the family's fields are counting on him to be tax-free.

Family affairs are naturally decided by parents, when is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks and wash the dishes. "

After being scolded by her man, Qiao was as angry as a toad, slapped her thigh and began to cry: "Oh, I can't live anymore, and I won't even let people say a word of justice.

Parents, you are too eccentric, everything is tight to the second bedroom, let's see how our family is doing! "

Although the Bai family has a large population, the things left by the ancestors are not small, but it is a pity that by Bai Dachuan's generation, they are almost corrupted.

But just like that, the Bai family still has 15 acres of fertile land and 3 acres of dry land. The dry land was purchased later with the money given by Bai Luoxia, otherwise the family would not have enough food alone.

The Northern Eagle Kingdom pays more attention to scholars. The status of scholars is very high. The 100 acres of fertile land of the scholars in this dynasty do not need to pay food tax, and the military service and labor service of relatives are all halved, and they still have a meager salary and grain.

The most important thing is that the reputation is good. Scholars don't kneel when they see officials, and they are exempted from hard labor. They can send posts to the yamen at any time, and no corporal punishment is allowed.

The reason why the Bai family sold Bai Luoxia was because they could pay for their military service with silver.

And because the family's fertile land is tax-free, the food can be provided by the family. Otherwise, the tax will be heavier, and the common people will have nothing left after paying that little ration.

The reason why Qiao's made a fuss was because the Bai family didn't have any money, but all the money had to support the second room, Bai Dingqing's family.

Bai Dingqing is a scholar. His two sons, one 16 and one 15, are not married. It is said that they are studying and preparing for this year's scientific examination.

Bai Dingqing's daughter-in-law Lan took her only daughter to the town to take care of the father and son's studies for many years, so the Bai family had to live frugally on weekdays, and sent all the saved money to the town to support Bai Dingqing's family.

As soon as the old Meng heard Qiao's disturbance, he immediately became angry, and cursed with his waist: "You lazy woman, if you ask you to do some work, you will call me. Tell me what you mean by 'how are you living'? My old lady Is the Bai family missing you for food, or for you to drink, or for you to go to the street to beg for food."

Listening to old Meng's swearing, Mrs. Qiao looked at a pot of cabbage stewed with potatoes, brown rice porridge cooked with steamed buns and wild vegetables on the table, and a plate of scrambled eggs on the table was prepared for the men who worked at home.

In winter, apart from pickles, cabbage, potatoes and sweet potatoes stored in winter, you can eat a few seasonal dishes in summer, which is considered a good thing.

The Bai family cooks meat once a year except for the New Year's Eve, and there is no meat in the year. Occasionally, Bai Dingqing will add vegetables when he comes home.

The key problem is not this, but that the Bai family has money but doesn't spend it on the family members, so Dun Dun just makes do with it.

Wowotou is also only available at night. In the morning, men can eat multigrain pancakes, and women can only drink porridge.

What was this called?This is not allowed to say? !
Qiao's face was crying and said: "Mother, eating these every day and still not being full, is this called living a good life?
Most of the produce in the family land has been sold, and our family has eaten new grains several times, all of which are brown rice and miscellaneous grains.

I don’t want to say that I didn’t see a little bit of meat all winter. The men in the family go out to work and get money to go home after the busy season, but my mother just feeds us this all day long. Look at my face, it’s all waxy and yellow. What a shame, besides eating badly, how can I give my fourth son a son in the future! "

"Go away if you don't want to eat. I didn't see you eat one less bite just now. If you dare to say that my mother is starving you, then my mother will starve you twice to let you know what it means to be hungry.

You can't give birth to a son by yourself, so you blame your mother for not giving you food?What else do you do besides eat?Other people's daughters-in-law won't have sons if they don't have enough to eat! "Old Meng touched the sweeping broom on the kang behind him, and threw it at Qiao.

There was a commotion in the room in an instant, Qiao Shi sat on the ground and rolled around, and the yard of Bai's house jumped up and down.

Bai Xue retracted her neck from behind the door, looked at the mother on the kang and said, "Mother, what shall we eat?"

Ye Wanshuang was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, only to realize that her children hadn't eaten yet, she had just got off the ground and put on her shoes, when Bai Luoxia stopped her and said, "I'll go and have a look" before leaving the room.

When Bai Luoxia went out, Ye Wanshuang covered her mouth and cried.

What crime did I do in my life, married to such a bastard family, what happened to their mother and children, and they should be assigned no matter how much work they do.

The mother-in-law is harsh, the sister-in-law bullies and plots, and the head of the family pretends not to see it. If it weren't for him having a daughter who can do things, the mother and child would not be able to survive long ago.

Even if she is a concubine, she has given birth to so many children for the Bai family, so why do she spoil her like this!
"Mother, don't cry, my sister is back, we will live a good life slowly." Bai Xue comforted her mother.

Bai Dongsheng couldn't bear it anymore, but Bai Luoxia told him to continue pretending until his mother left the Bai family safely, so he could only sit there and sulk.

Bai Luoxia went out for a walk, didn't need to look for food and knew that there was no food for them, so she took out a few cooked bird eggs from the space and came back.

"Biaodan, the second sister has entered the mountain?" Although Bai Xue was happy, she was also very worried. The reason why she was called the second sister Bai Luoxia was because the eldest sister Bai Lan had returned.

On the one hand, Ye Wanshuang blamed him a bit: "Why did you enter the mountain? I'm afraid you forgot if you haven't been home for so many years. The mountain is very dangerous. There are tigers, wolves, and many snakes and insects. Don't go to the mountain again in the future." .”

Bai Luoxia said: "What do I eat if I don't go up the mountain? This is because I'm back. If I don't come back, I'll be hungry? I've only been out for a while and you're going to be beaten? I'm not going to order something to eat. I'll wait until we all starve to death." ?”

Bai Luoxia was really speechless about her Baoziniang, she knew she was weak, but she didn't expect to be so weak.

Ye Wanshuang choked for an instant, and then burst into tears, "It's useless to be a mother."

Bai Xue couldn't bear her mother's sadness, so she whispered: "Sister, what are you talking about mother, mother is not worried about you, it's for your own good."

"Okay, hurry up and eat, as soon as they find out, there's nothing to eat, I baked it and hid it to prepare for this situation.

I'm not talking about mother, I have some status in the Qin family, so I'm used to speaking so aggressively. "

Bai Xue nodded quickly, and then found a rag to catch the eggshells. She was a smart girl, and she was going to hide the eggshells and throw them away.

While watching the door carefully, she peeled off an unknown bird's egg that was a little smaller than an egg, and then gave it to Ye Wanshuang and Bai Dongsheng first. She is really a sensible girl.

"Second sister, here it is."

"You and mother can eat it, I've already eaten it." Bai Luoxia pushed back the bird egg that Bai Xue handed over.

"Mother~" Bai Xue handed it over to Ye Wanshuang.

Ye Wanshuang touched his tears and said: "Mother is not hungry, you can eat, give it to your brother, he is tired from work."

"I don't eat it, mother eats it, my sister eats it." Bai Dongsheng hurriedly said in a low voice.

Bai Xue still gave it to Bai Dongsheng: "Brother, eat. If you eat, you will have strength to work and don't get tired. If you eat and have strength, grandma will beat us again. Brother will protect you."

Bai Luoxia laughed out of anger, Bai Xue often reported to her when she came back, Bai Dongsheng had been protecting his mother for so many years, so she was really beaten a lot.

For this, Bai Dongsheng tried his best to drag Ye Wanshuang and Bai Xue to the field, and stay at home less, otherwise no one would protect him if he was beaten.

But just after Bai Luoxia came back, Ye Wanshuang and Bai Xue didn't take the initiative to go to the field today. Bai Luoxia went to the back mountain to look around to see the environment and forgot to tell them that when she came back, she caught up with the old witch of the old Meng family and was acting as a demon again.

Really pissed him off!
