Chapter 338: Bai Family wants to harvest wheat
“Now take Ru’er and go back home, I’m afraid sister-in-law has long been waiting for you . ” Bai Zhi said to Awu .
After Awu responded with a hum, he took Ru’er to go outside .
Ru’er doesn’t know why her father was happy, but when she saw him happy, she was happy too . Since her father and mother brought her here, they became more and more happy .
In the Bai Family .
Bai Erzhu came back from the town with a bag of rice in his hand .
Mrs . Liu and Old Lady Bai were gossiping in the yard, while Mrs . Zhang and Bai Zhenzhu were sitting on the side, picking up the good wild vegetables .
When Mrs . Liu saw Bai Erzhu from the outside into the yard, she quickly got up to welcome him: “Second Brother-in-law you’re back . You must be tired, let me take it . ”
Mrs . Liu stretched out her arms and took the rice bag in Bai Erzhu’s hand . When she noticed it’s weight, her eyebrows frowned: “Is this a bucket of rice? I don’t think its even half a bucket . ” She remembered the old lady took out 200 copper coins to let Bai Erzhu buy a bucket of rice . If there was any money left, she should take it back .
Bai Erzhu looked at Mrs . Liu and said with a bad tone: “I’ll give you 200 copper coins tomorrow, let’s see if you can buy a bucket of rice with it . ”
Old Lady Bai stood up and took the rice bag in Mrs . Liu’s hand, then weight it on her hand: “This is not even a half bucket, what is going on? Didn’t I ask you to buy a bucket of rice? Where is the rest of the money?”
Bai Erzhu replied: “The price of rice has increased again . The price is not the same as before . You only give me 200 copper coins, naturally, I can only buy 2 stone meter of rice . ” ”
He didn’t think much about it before, but now, he was really bothered by the faces of these two women . They looked at him as if he was a thief .
“What? The price has increased again? How come the price increased when all the refugees left?” Mrs . Liu didn’t believe it at all, her pair of eyes looked at Bai Erzhu suspiciously .
Bai Erzhu was too lazy to explained things again and again . He walked straight to the chair and sat down, then said: “I don’t know . If you can’t believe it, you go to town tomorrow to find out if I have cheated you . ”
Seeing Bai Erzhu unhappy, Old Lady Bai gave Mrs . Liu a meaningful look, indicating that she shouldn’t say another word . This matter was unclear . But today, not only Bai Erzhu went to the town to buy rice, but also the second son of Li Family . She can go there to find out the truth .
Old Lady Bai put the rice bag back to Mrs . Liu’s hand and walked over to Bai Erzhu . She sat down next to him and said with a smile: “We don’t mean that, don’t think too much about it . ”
Bai Erzhu didn’t make a sound, he turned his head and looked at his wife and daughter . They were sitting not far away and separating the wild vegetables, but Mrs . Liu and the old lady were only chatting as if this thing has nothing to do with them .
The more he thought about it, the more he felt bad .
Old Lady Bai opened her mouth again and said: “I talk with Old Sun today . Their field was next to ours . He said that their wheat is ready to be harvested, so they will start harvesting . ”
Bai Erzhu flattens his eyebrows: “Then, let’s also start harvesting tomorrow . ”
Old Lady Bai nodded her head: “Yes, yes, I think so too . Tomorrow, you and Fugui go there early in the morning . I’ll ask your wife to send you food so that you can save time going back and forth . ”
Bai Erzhu asked: “I’ll take Fugui? Just the two of us?”
Mrs . Liu busily said: “Originally, Dabao is also going, but he doesn’t feel comfortable these days . I’m afraid he can’t go, so we can only let Fugui go with you . But rest assured, if Dabao felt better, I will immediately ask him to help you . ”
“Help us? Sister-in-law, you talk as if this thing is originally our family’s job, and Dabao will just come to help? Are those wheat only belong to our family?”
