Both Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu’s face dramatically changed. They rushed forward and encircled Bai Dazhu and Bai Erzhu. The two men returned empty-handed and only half living.
“What happened? Why do you look like this? Where is the bag of flour?” Old Lady Bai asked urgently.
Bai Dazhu murmured and then pushed Bai Erzhu’s arm: “You say it.”
Bai Erzhu laughed: “You are the big brother, so you say it.”
Old Lady Bai returned to her senses and stared at her two sons. Not only she didn’t get the white flour, but she also loses a hundred copper coins. They even went back full of injuries.
She swept her eyes outside their courtyard curiously and sneered. Then, she said with a cold face: “Get inside the house and speak.”
Old Lady Bai beat her two sons, who were pushing and pinching each other to enter the house.
After entering the house, Old Lady Bai turned to Mrs. Liu: “Close the door.”
Whenever the old lady teaching Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi a lesson. She never avoided the villager’s eyes. Instead, she was, even more, showing off her status and ability in the family.
She was also teaching her sons a lesson, but she rarely does it in front of other people. Because for her, her son’s face was the face of the Bai Family.
“Tell me, what is going on?” Old Lady Bai sat down at the table and stared at Bai Dazhu and Bai Erzhu.
Bai Erzhu hurriedly pointed his finger at Bai Dazhu: “It’s all big brother’s fault. If it weren’t for him, I will not lose.”
When Bai Dazhu heard his words, he immediate frown his eyebrows and stood up, then said: “I didn’t blame you, but you’re blaming me? I ate two more pieces than you! So, why are you blaming me?”
As the two brothers continued yelling at each other. Old Lady Bai’s face was getting more and more ugly.
“You all shut up! Did you bring back the bag of flour? What about the other things?” Old Lady Bai asked.
Bai Erzhu shrunk his neck, his eyes didn’t dare to fall on his mother’s face. He said with a small tone: “I, we also wanted to take back the bag of flour, but we lose. So, naturally, we also couldn’t take the other things, so, so—”
Old Lady Bai felt a stabbing pain in her brain. She tried hard to suppressed her anger and asked: “Since you didn’t get the bag of flour, then what happened to the 100 copper coins I gave you? Did you get it back?”
The two brothers looked at each other and hurriedly lowered their heads. No one could utter a word.
Old Lady Bai roar in anger: “I am talking to you two, are you all dumb? Where is the money? Did you get back the 100 copper coins?”
Bai Dazhu saw that his second brother always refused to speak. So, he couldn’t help but opened his mouth: “Niang, don’t mention it. For this 100 copper coins, I and Erzhu fight with the owner. We wanted to take back the money, so we got into a fight and get injured.”
They were not seriously injured, it was only skin trauma. It will heal after a few days. They just looked like this because they tore apart their clothes. They wanted to looked more miserable. Hoping that if their mother sees them like this, she will only give them a slap in the face and then forget the 100 copper coins… …
Old Lady Bai was so angry. She wanted to beat these two disappointing guys. But, seeing them injured, she can no longer pursue the matter. After all, it was her two sons, not Zhao Lan or Bai Zhi.
“Forget it, I shouldn’t have believed you yesterday. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Giving a free bag of flour, isn’t the owner himself asking for death?” As the saying goes, there will be no free pie falling in the sky.
