Upon hearing this, the old lady’s hair immediately blew up, as she pointed her finger to Mrs. Liu: “The day before yesterday, the remaining rice in the house was gone. You said that Erzhu must have taken it because you stole their rice last time, but originally, you took it to give to your Liu Family?”
Mrs. Liu busily waved her hands: “No, niang. Don’t listen to her nonsense. When did I take something for my family?”
Mrs. Zhang said: “No? Then, do you want me to let Erzhu call your brother and ask about it? Let’s discuss it face to face and see who is lying.”
When Mrs. Liu heard those words, she panicked even more: “I said there is no such thing, so why do you still need to ask? You’re deliberately humiliating me.”
Village Chief Li’s head hurt, he couldn’t help but shout in anger: “Okay, it’s not a big deal. Why do you keep jumping like chickens and dogs all day long? Look around you, have you seen people act like you in Huangtou Village?”
Old Lady Bai said with a bitter face: “Village Chief, we can’t live any longer, so we are noisy all day long. If we can survive, what is there to quarrel about?”
Village Chief Li snorted: “Others can live, so why can’t you? Is your field less than others? Or is it because your Bai Family still not thriving?”
Old Lady Bai waved her hand: “Let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about Erzhu. He earned money, but instead of being to filial to this old lady, he gave that money to the Zhang Family. You say, is his action acceptable in this world?”
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu quickly b.u.t.ted in: “That’s right? How can he do such a thing? He earned money but instead giving it to his family, he gave it to others?”
Bai Erzhu couldn’t listen anymore, he came forward and argued: “Village Chief, don’t listen to their nonsense. We work for Bai Zhi these past few days, so yes, we earned a few silvers. It’s just, Zhang Sanhui’s wife got sick, all the money we earned was spent on her treatment. We are a family. When we were in difficulties, they helped our family. Now that they are in trouble, should we just close our eyes? This is not Shumei’s idea alone, I also mean to help.”
When Village Chief Li heard of this, he nodded his head. Since Bai Erzhu separated from his family, he was like a different person, which was good.
Old Lady Bai shouted: “Zhang Sanshui’s wife got sick, so you gave them money? This old lady is sick, why aren’t you giving me money? Who is your mother?”
Village Chief Li said: “I think you are more energetic than anyone else here. Besides, you and their family have separated. You have written a separation letter. You have nothing to do with each other. So what are you doing now?”
This was the biggest reason why Old Lady Bai causing trouble. She regretted separating from the second branch. Now, Bai Dazhu’s legs were not good. Even if it’s good, nothing will change. She didn’t expect that Bai Erzhu will have a big change. He became more diligent. It didn’t take long for him to earn so much money. Looking at the first branch, their future is gloomy. Bai Xiaofeng has no money to continue his studies. They have no money to buy food. They can’t borrow money to live. Her eldest grandson was a coward and lazy. Her second grandson doesn’t do anything since he was a kid, he only studied. She can’t count on them.
“They forced us to separate from them. I don’t recognize it.” Old Lady Bai sat down on the ground wailed: “I am his mother. I gave birth to him. Up until now, I haven’t eaten a mouthful of food, but he gave his money to others, what’s up with him?”
Seeing the old lady playing a drama, Village Chief Li was feeling quite helpless. This old lady has no ability other than playing a drama depends on the situation.
