Chapter 18

Old Mrs. Bai was calculating very quickly in her mind.

Zhu Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Neither, it's Bai Ying."

Old Lady Bai exploded instantly, "What?! How come I didn't know that!"

Although she looked down on Bai Ying, she had to admit that Bai Ying was the prettiest of her four granddaughters.

She was planning to use Bai Ying to exchange for the betrothal money to spend on her most precious grandson!

Of course she has to be the one to arrange Bai Ying's marriage. How could he get married without telling her?

Old Mrs. Bai was so angry that her body began to shake. "Who is Bai Ying going to marry? I won't agree!"

Zhu Xiaoxiao realized she had said something outrageous and quickly covered her mouth, whispering even more quietly, "Oh, Grandma Bai, don't you know? The person Bai Ying is dating is Shen Ao from Rising Sun Farm."

"What are Shen Ao and Shen Bian?" Old Mrs. Bai was completely confused.

"Shen Ao, he's a reformed person who was sent down here from a big city. He's been on the farm for a year. Bai Ying went to the farm to treat his illness, and after a while they ended up dating."

"What! A prisoner?!"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Bai could no longer hold on. She collapsed onto the ground, slapping her thigh and cursing, "Oh my! My second granddaughter, Bai Ying, is so unfilial. She didn't even tell me she was getting married. Does she even have me, her grandmother, in her eyes?"

Seeing that her provocation was successful, Zhu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with a hint of success, but she said, "Grandma Bai, don't be angry, just pretend I didn't say anything."

After saying that, he quickly slipped away and went back to work as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Li, who was standing next to him, naturally saw all of this. She forced a smile on her chubby face, as if she was thinking about something.

"My husband passed away early, so I worked hard to raise five children, and helped them all get married and have children!"

"I raised five grandsons, three granddaughters, and one granddaughter-in-law, but in the end, they no longer need me and just want to kick me out. What's the point of living?"

"Dad, please come and take me away! I don't want to live anymore!"

Old Mrs. Bai has a strong love for acting, and she sings one sentence after another, without repeating herself.

In short, among shrews, Old Lady Bai is a grandmother-level shrew. The members next to her don't dare to go up and persuade her at all. They can only watch Old Lady Bai talk nonsense without doing anything.

From Old Lady Bai's chatter, I also understood the reason of the matter. It turned out that Old Lady Bai was throwing a tantrum because Bai Ying had secretly got engaged without telling her.

After all, it was the Bai family's business, so no one could say anything. They could only watch Old Mrs. Bai rolling on the ground.

Old Mrs. Bai was really sad.

However, the reason why she was sad was not that her granddaughter was going to marry a prisoner, but that when the prisoner was released, all the money he had on him was looted by the Red Guards, and he definitely could not afford the bride price!

If this really happens, where will she go to collect the betrothal gift?

Suddenly, Old Lady Bai remembered the idiot mother from the neighboring brigade who was looking for a wife for her idiot son everywhere and even said that she was willing to pay a 100 yuan betrothal gift. She was originally hesitant, so why was she still hesitating now?

If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever!

Now Old Mrs. Bai stopped crying, got up from the ground quickly, and left work early.

That evening.

Zhou Li came to the brigade clinic as soon as she got off work and explained to Bai Ying in detail the good things Zhu Xiaoxiao had done that day.

"Bai Ying, what are you going to do?"

Even Zhou Li, an outsider who initially wanted to be a bystander, couldn't help but worry.

It would be fine if Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't take action, but once she did, she was too cruel!

Having been in the countryside for two years, Zhou Li is well aware that in the countryside, the word "filial piety" can stump all kinds of heroes.

Old Mrs. Bai is the most senior elder in the Bai family. Bai Ying, her granddaughter, didn't even tell her about such a big thing as her marriage. This is unacceptable both morally and logically. If Old Mrs. Bai really makes a fuss, Bai Ying's reputation will undoubtedly be ruined.

Everyone will think that Bai Ying is unfilial and has bad character, and will be nailed to the village's pillar of shame for the rest of her life.

Unlike Zhou Li who was extremely anxious, Bai Ying was quite calm. The two of them were one quiet and one active, which gave off a beautiful feeling of the emperor being calm while the eunuchs were anxious.

Zhou Li said angrily, "This concerns your reputation in the village, why aren't you anxious?"

Bai Ying was still preparing the medicine slowly and without looking up, she asked, "Who said I'm not in a hurry?"
