Bai Xin suddenly realized that it was Young Master Cheng who suddenly appeared outside, so he couldn't help but stop.

Ding from the outside saw Master Cheng's expressionless face, combined with what he said just now, his intestines were green with regret, and his face was blue and white, he wanted to explain a few words, "No...Master Cheng, I didn't mean you ..."

Originally eloquent, his tongue seemed to be numb at this moment, and he stuttered.

Master Cheng's starry eyes were slightly angry, and he was full of dignity. Ordinary ordinary people were naturally timid. Mrs. Ding was still regretting what she just said and wanted to make amends, but the more anxious she became, the more speechless she became.

Cao's knees were a little weak, but when he thought of Master Cheng's help to his family, he plucked up the courage to cross his hands and bowed forward, "Master Cheng, Wanfu, thank you for your help, Sanlang is young, and he made a fool of himself yesterday. Forgive me, we will pay back the money as soon as possible." Mrs. Cao heard from her son that he borrowed money from Master Cheng, and Master Cheng admitted it just now, so he does not suspect him.

When Master Cheng heard the words, doubts abounded in his heart. He was a little confused just now, and now he is even more confused. Yesterday, Bai Sanlang bought things with his own money. his money?But he didn't point it out on the face, and repeated: "I and Saburo are friends, this trivial matter is nothing to worry about."

Bai Xin was listening in the room, his heart felt like fifteen buckets were fetching water, and he was going up and down. He originally wanted to use Young Master Cheng as an excuse to be very convenient, and he could guard against other people's prying eyes. It took only a day for him to be able to communicate too much, and the person involved broke through. He was embarrassed and had to go out quickly, lest the lie would be exposed soon.

Bai Xin stepped forward and bowed, his expression was a little stiff, and he laughed a few times.

Ding Shi was ignored by others, so embarrassed, he didn't want to leave or stay, and he still held the pair of malachite earrings in his hand.

As soon as Young Master Cheng saw Bai Xin like this, he knew he was lying. He blinked his eyes and showed a narrow smile. Then, he coughed and leaned back, "I heard that your family moved to a new house, so I sent you a housewarming gift." Gift."

After finishing speaking, someone from behind came up with four ticking red boxes, and I don't know what was inside.

Before Bai Xin could speak, Mrs. Cao shook her head violently, and shouted, "I can't do it, I can't do it, I owe you a great kindness yesterday, I dare not accept any more gifts."

"Your gift is too heavy." Bai Xin nodded in agreement.

Fulin is shrewd and capable, and he inquired about the Bai family's affairs clearly yesterday. The only adult man in the Bai family's big family was seriously injured. It was clear at a glance that Young Master Cheng was a little worried about how Bai Sanlang would live his life, but he was also afraid that the other party would not want to give him some gold and silver things, so the gifts he bought were nothing more than some fashionable fruits, fat chicken and giant crucian carp. Looking at it, these things are really nothing. When he was in the capital, he spent more than that on occasional purchases.

"It's not something valuable, it's just some fruits." As he spoke, he blinked at Bai Xin again.

Bai Xin had no choice but to accept the gift, and bowed deeply in gratitude.

Ding's eyes darted to the boxes, the inside was full of greed, his heart was filled with envy and jealousy, almost sour, even if it was really just some fruits, the contents of these four big boxes were worth a lot of money, It's been a long time since their family had any fruit.

Seeing that Bai Sanlang had accepted the gift, Young Master Cheng grinned and said, "I want to play with you today."

Bai Xin just didn't want to get involved with him, and he had to talk about it, so he nodded.

When Bai Xin and Master Cheng walked away, Cao ordered her daughter to take the box into the house. Ding's eyes seemed to be glued to it, and she stretched her neck to look in. Seeing that she wouldn't leave, Cao couldn't open her mouth to chase her away. , had to accompany the smiling face, "Siblings, you..."

"I see that you are still in a mess, so I'll go in and get busy." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Cao's consent, she walked into the house, as if she was the owner.

As soon as he entered the room, Ding found four boxes without any mistakes. Seeing that they were intact, they were still put aside and had not been opened. It was like claws scratching one's heart. He was so anxious, "Why don't you open it and have a look."

The aunt looked at it warily, and said coldly: "Master Cheng sent this to the third brother. If he doesn't come back, don't open it."

Ding walked over on her own. When living together, it had long been a habit to disregard Da Fang's wishes, but now she ignored it and lifted one of the covers with her hand.

This box contained a big featherless chicken. According to Ding's visual inspection, it weighed two to three catties. She couldn't wait to open the box next to it, but the box was divided into several layers. The sugar pastry is golden in color, shiny and oily, exuding bursts of sweetness.

"What are you doing!" The aunt's voice was tense, she stepped in, protected the four boxes behind her, and stared at Ding Shi with hostility.

Ding shrugged her temples in embarrassment. Just looking at the contents of the two boxes, her eyes became hot. She kept scanning the two boxes with the lids open. Turning over, he said angrily at Cao Shi: "Sister-in-law, I just want to see what Young Master Cheng sent. What does your aunt mean?"

Cao was a little embarrassed, and half-heartedly scolded the aunt a few words, but Ding didn't move. Seeing what it meant, she couldn't see what was in the other two boxes, so she didn't give up.

The aunt was also unmoved, and firmly protected the boxes, "It's not for your family, why are you so anxious to see?"

Ding choked, her face flushed suddenly, she never thought that the aunt who was always silent could say such a thing, she was so ashamed that she couldn't speak, she pointed at the aunt and gritted her teeth, "You damn girl .”

After speaking, I also felt that it was meaningless to stay, so I left angrily.

When she left, Mrs. Cao sighed, walked over, and said to Auntie: "Why do you have to say that?"

Auntie is like a cat whose hair has exploded, her vigilance has not faded at all, "When elder brother is sick, they don't care, they don't even catch the medicine, now Master Cheng just sent something, if they think about it I want it from us, mother, will you give it too? Don't forget that we still owe Master Cheng money, and the third brother didn't say how much, but I saw those things yesterday, at least one tael of silver. Are you in debt and helping others?"

Cao was speechless, she was already soft-tempered, and she was not annoyed when her daughter said that, and sighed again.

The aunt turned her head and saw Wu Niang looking straight at Su Tang without blinking her eyes, she felt a little relieved, but she still said, "I'll talk about these things when the third brother comes back."

Bai Xin and Master Cheng walked unhurriedly, and they walked towards the outside of the village in unison until they could no longer see anyone. Young Master Cheng couldn't wait to ask, "What's the matter with your money?"

Bai Xinzheng didn't know how to explain it, so he saw Master Cheng frowned, and said a little seriously: "Your aunt is right, there are people who put interest money outside, but the interest rate starts at five cents, if you borrow one or two, it will be enough for a month." Fifty Wen, two months is one hundred Wen, if you add three plus four, it will become two taels of silver next year..." He paused, his face was more worried, "You are so young, you can't be Let people 'eight deductions'? How much money did you borrow?"

Hearing that he spoke very fast because of worry, Bai Xin felt a little weird in his heart. It was not easy for someone who had known him for a few days to treat him like this. He coughed and interrupted Master Cheng's nagging, "I didn't borrow money , I earned it myself."

"You made it yourself?" Young Master Cheng raised his voice sharply. His worry became more and more serious. He looked at Bai Xin suspiciously, "How did you make money?"

"I went to the mountain to pick incense aconite, sold it in the town, and saved some money myself." Bai Xin didn't know why, facing the whole story that his mother didn't want to tell, he said it to Master Cheng easily, without the slightest hint. Don't feel worried.

Young Master Cheng looked at him in surprise, after a while, he exhaled, and praised: "You are really smart."

Young Master Cheng didn't ask Bai Xin why he didn't tell his mother about saving money. After meeting Cao Shi today, he could roughly guess Cao Shi's character, and he couldn't help but sigh, Sanlang is a small person, but he has to support a big family , it is rare that he is not arrogant or impetuous, not cynical, nor has he become bad and sneaky, and he likes him more and more in his heart.

The two had a conversation, and they felt closer. Seeing that it was almost noon, they separated.

Bai Xin happily walked home. He used to bury things in his heart, but now that he has someone who can talk, he feels much more comfortable. However, his good mood disappeared immediately when he saw his grandma blocking his door.

"It's just asking you to give us half a chicken. That's not enough? It's a heartless thing." Grandma Bai put her hands on her hips and started yelling. Her yelling attracted more and more villagers to watch.

Bai Xin watched the meeting coldly, and then pushed aside the crowd. Seeing that it was Saburo Bai, they consciously made way.

When Grandma Bai saw that Sanlang had returned, she felt a little guilty for no reason, but at the same time, the evil fire was burning even more, and she didn't understand why the young master of the Cheng family had such a good relationship with such a thing?Isn't Erlang a hundred times better than him?

"What's going on?" Bai Xin stood in the yard, seeing the aunt firmly blocking the door, and he was relieved to see him come back.

Grandma Bai said sourly now: "Then Master Cheng gave you so many things and asked you to share half of them. Look at your eldest sister, it's as if you want to cut her flesh!"

Disgust flashed in Bai Xin's heart, and he stood beside the aunt, "Why give you half a chicken? What did you pay for the half chicken?"

"You!" Grandma Bai didn't expect his attitude to be so cold and hard, she trembled with anger, and then screamed, "Shameless thing, why don't you just talk to Master Cheng and think you've climbed a high branch? In the eyes of Young Master Cheng, he is just a dog who is stalking others! Do you really think you are great? You group of ungrateful things, disrespectful elders, disrespectful brothers, will be punished in the future!"

She moved Xiaoyi out, and many people started pointing at Bai Xin and saying some unpleasant things.

Bai Xin's eyes were cold, and he said unceremoniously: "I don't have such a brother. Who was it to get up to Cheng's house and beat up his younger brother just to make up for Young Master Cheng? And who made me sick?" My eldest brother threw it on the bed and ignored it? Who can eat eggs every now and then, but my brothers and sisters will be scolded for eating a few more pickles?"

Bai Xin's series of questions left Grandma Bai speechless, and the people around her cast their eyes on Grandma Bai again, with weird eyes. The old Bai family is famous for favoring Erlang, but the specifics are unknown to others. Hearing what Bai Sanlang said, even a random person should feel chilled.

"At the beginning, under the witness of Lizheng, our eldest house was separated, and we agreed to have nothing to do with each other in the future. It's only a day away, and grandma will go back on his word? Why don't you ask this house, how are we living? My elder brother is sick. Are you okay? Is there any food for our family?"

Everyone turned their attention to this dilapidated house, and saw that even the door panels inside had fallen off, the windows were only left with square frames, the thatch on the roof was almost rotten, it was worse than dilapidated temples, and there were many people around. A soft-hearted woman, her eyes will turn red, and she will scold Grandma Bai for being too partial.

At this time, someone began to speak well for Bai Xin, "Bai Po, don't push people too hard."

"Yeah, I heard that Sanlang borrowed money from Master Cheng. I guess these things today are intended to be sold for money?"

"How can people live in this house? Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, can the little one in his house survive? Repairing the house requires money, right?"

"I heard that Lao Zhang promised to repair the house for his family, and he owes the money first."

Everyone chattered so much that Grandma Bai couldn't hold her head up, especially Bai Xin was pointing the finger at Erlang, and Grandma Bai was afraid that Erlang would have some bad influence in the future, so she cursed and left.
