After pointing her finger on Bai Erzhu, Old Lady Bai cursed him: “You have no conscience, you white-eyed wolf. Your mother raised you this big, but you didn’t even send a fish at home. You would rather give the outsiders than us, can’t you see what you’re doing?”
Bai Erzhu immediately retorted: “I can see. Before I went out this morning, I came to you to discuss things. We divided the house, but we didn’t divide the foods. You said you will not share food with us because I was the one who proposed to separate. I accepted it, so I said I will borrow some food this morning for a few days. But what did you said to me? Do you remember? You said, if you don’t have food, then go starve to death.”
Bai Erzhu pointed to the rice bag in the basket and said, “I went to my brother-in-law’s house to borrow rice, people didn’t say a word or two, he just gave me rice. I gave him fishes in exchange, he didn’t accept it at once, it took me a long time to convince him. But what about you? Because you’re very scared to eat less, you can’t wait to throw us, the second branch and just decided to support the first branch. I was so silly in the past. When Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi were still here, our family still live a better life, so I didn’t think too much about it. But now that Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi are gone, I realized we don’t live life any better than them.”
Because Bai Dabao was the first grandson, he always drank Bai Fugui and Bai Zhenzhu’s rice soup. He was not someone prestigious, but he didn’t put them, his second uncle and second aunt in his eyes.
Bai Xiaofeng was even worse. Because he was the favorite grandson of the old lady, he treats everyone like his slaves. His head grows bigger and bigger each year. He never called him second uncle, so what more when he becomes a big official?
In that case, why should he sacrifice the interests of his family to support a white-eyed wolf who doesn’t put him in his eyes at all?
Bai Erzhu’s words made the old lady and Mrs. Liu speechless. This injustice was indeed caused by them. They separated yesterday, but they didn’t even give a single grain to Bai Erzhu. Bai Erzhu came this morning and discussed things with them. He wanted to borrow some foods for a few days, but they were not willing so they sent him away. And then, he went out to find his brother-in-law.
Mrs. Zhang coldly looked at the old lady and Mrs. Liu, then she took the basket and went to the kitchen, while Bai Erzhu went into the room to change his wet trousers and shoes.
“What are you still doing? Aren’t you still going to look for a doctor to treat me? Do you want to see die?” The pain made Bai Dazhu felt dizzy, coupled with the quarrel just now, he felt like his head will explode.
Mrs. Liu panicked, she looked at the old lady and wait for her to decide.
Old Lady Bai gritted her teeth and said to Bai Dabao: “Dabao go with us to the Hu Family. When we meet them, you should tell everyone that it was Awu who break your father’s arms, so that we can get money to cure your father.”
Bai Dabao hurriedly waved his hand: “No, no, no, I won’t go, Awu is so scary. I don’t want to see him, I will not go.”
Seeing his son like this, Mrs. Liu busily said, “Niang, he doesn’t even have to go. Awu really looks scary, even I get scared of him.”
Old Lady Bai put her hand on her waist and cursed in anger: “He doesn’t want to go, so he will not go? And because you point your finger to this old lady, I will come and support you? Can’t you see what’s going on here? Your husband was supposed to sell the wheat, so why did he provoke people? And now he’s asking to spend money on his treatment? Do we have spare money to spend?”
Bai Dazhu was also angry so he shouted: “You don’t have spare money so you will not let a doctor treat me? Could it be you want me to die like my father?”
