Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

More than an hour had passed when Bai Zepei returned home. His expression remained the same, and he couldn't tell whether things went smoothly.

"Ruozhu, Sanlang was beaten twenty times. Grandpa did it himself." Erlang looked at Bai Ruozhu who came out with the child in his arms and said.

Bai Ruozhu laughed, "Grandpa must be exhausted."

"I'm tired." Bai Zepei shook his head helplessly, which made the whole family laugh.

Even if the old man is tired, he deserves it. When Saburo stole things, he should have taught him a lesson. Or to put it further, when Saburo was not doing his job in the early years, the old man should have disciplined and disciplined him, otherwise Saburo would not have grown crooked. This is it.

Of course, Bai Ruozhu felt that the old man's problem did not lie with Sanlang, but with Bai Yibo. If he wanted to raise his eldest son, he should have strict requirements, instead of pampering Bai Yibo who was not good at studying and did not do farm work, so the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked, and Sanlang became like that.

"Second brother, I've heard about the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. If you still have the strength, why not go to the town again." Bai Ruozhu winked at him and told him this and that.

Bai Zepei looked up at Bai Ruozhu, with a smile in his eyes. He always thought that the younger sister was smart, but he didn't think that the younger sister really deserved to be called Zhuge among girls.

"Okay, I'm going to go right now. Brother, please rest at home first and don't be busy going to the Yamen." After Erlang said that, he walked out quickly.

Lin Ping'er asked Bai Ruozhu worriedly, "Is this really okay?"

"The results of the provincial examination will be out in a few days. The final result of this matter depends on the results of the second brother's provincial examination. I think the second brother is full of confidence. I think the results will definitely not be bad." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile. .

By the time Bai Zepei returned home again, it was already time to light the lamp.

He sat down and drank a large cup of tea before he said, "I have already reported the crime to the Yamen. Mr. Li will give me justice."

As he spoke, he laughed and said, "The shopkeeper of the Chaodong Inn is also a shrewd man. I followed your words and he understood. He mainly helped me testify. He also said that he would help the government catch the villain who harmed us."

Bai Ruozhu also laughed. She had asked Bai Zepei to go to the inn before and told the shopkeeper that this matter might be caused by the opponent's competitor. Wouldn't it be a pity not to get to the bottom of it? Even if not, it is still a good thing to punish rape and eliminate evil, so that those who dare to come to their inn to harm others should give up their thoughts as soon as possible.

The shopkeeper is a smart man. How could he easily miss an opportunity that might bring him down? Even if it wasn't done by your opponent, you can still beat those who have evil intentions and tell them that they just want to harm people and have chosen a good place. Don't think that Men Chaodong is easy to bully.

Master Li was very angry when he learned about this. He immediately sent an official to look for the "guy" who delivered the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. However, it was impossible to find the person immediately, so he asked Bai Zepei to go home and have a good rest first, so that he could have enough energy to wait for the results of the provincial examination. come out.

After listening to Erlang's story, Bai Yihong felt a little worried and couldn't help but ask: "If your uncle really did this, would he be put in jail and stripped of his honors?"

Before Bai Zepei could answer, Lin Ping'er jumped up first, pointed at the bridge of his nose and cursed: "You are still worried about your elder brother's life and death. When he and his son harmed my daughter, why didn't you think about my daughter and grandson? His safety? When he harmed my son, why didn’t he think about my son’s future?”

Bai Yihong was scolded by his wife in front of the children. His face was a bit unbearable, and his ears turned red. He hesitated and said: "I, I'm not worried about him. If he really does evil, he should be punished." Being punished, I, I am just afraid, afraid that our father and mother will not be able to bear the stimulation."

"That's your parents, don't blame me. What have you done if you can't stand such excitement? Look at what your father said. Saburo stole things and asked for them to be joked with his cousin. Ruozhu made a fuss out of a molehill and became partial. If that's the case, what else do you have to worry about? If they weren't so partial, how could your eldest brother's family be so crooked?" Lin Ping'er had been holding back for a while, and she couldn't help scolding her.

Finally, Bai Ruozhu pulled her arm, and she stopped because of Bai Ruozhu's face.

Speaking of which, Bai Yihong is quite pitiful. He is not stupid and filial, but he is somewhat worried about the old man. However, the old man is completely unreasonable and it is useless for him to worry.

"Okay, okay, Dad doesn't want this either. Who can choose parents? Mom, let's eat, otherwise Dengdeng will be hungry later." Bai Ruozhu hurriedly smoothed things over and dropped the topic.

Dengdeng stretched out his little hands and grabbed them randomly. His hands were still not flexible. When he heard Bai Ruozhu calling his name, he seemed to realize that she was talking about him, and the corners of his mouth raised.

If Deng Deng was hungry, Bai Ruozhu would have to carry him back to the house to feed him, and he wouldn't be able to eat with everyone, so Lin Ping'er rolled her eyes at Bai Yihong and hurriedly went to prepare the food.

During dinner, no one mentioned those bad things again, but talked about the contents of Erlang’s provincial examination papers. Erlang talked about some questions and how he answered them. Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but nod. Although she was not an ancient person, she had figured out the basic content. She could tell that her second brother answered very well and passed the exam. Scholarship is basically a certainty.

Bai Zehao has also been studying for several years. He couldn't help but cheer and said loudly: "My second brother will definitely pass the scholar examination this time. He is so many times better than my uncle!"

Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong became happy after hearing what he said. It would be great if Erlang really got admitted as a scholar!

Of course, what they want is not to honor their ancestors, but that Erlang's official career will be smoother and his future will be bright.

Because it would take time for Mr. Li to investigate the case, he said that he would send people to Houshan Village to notify Bai Zepei as soon as there was news. So Bai Zepei did not go out for the next two days. Instead, he sorted out the books that Saburo had ruined and restored the room. As is.

And Bai Zehao started building the house again, and it would be completed in another two or three days.

People coming and going would smile and ask how Bai Zepei did in the exams. Bai Zepei would help with the work when he had free time. He would also smile and answer questions from his uncles, appearing to be both humble and polite, and won praises from those people.

However, someone told Bai Zepei in private that there were some bad rumors in the village, which were aimed at Bai Ruozhu, and told him to be aware of them and be more prepared.

Those who can say this know Bai Ruozhu's character, but unfortunately not everyone in the village knows it. Those rumors are not good for Bai Ruozhu and the Bai family, and may even affect Bai Ruozhu's children.

Bai Zepei was a little surprised. Bai Ruozhu had given birth to a baby and was still at home during the confinement period. How could there be bad rumors? When I asked him carefully, his expression changed. Do these people dare to be more shameless?
