"cough!"
Bai Ying coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed, and turned her head slightly.
The family of three gets along well.
Bai Meicui, sitting alone at the same table, couldn't stand it any longer. She sneered, "Second sister-in-law, you've finally been caught by your son-in-law today. Being a prisoner in a labor camp doesn't mean you can't even eat meat, right? So when you heard someone was treating you, you rushed over to ask for some free food."
Chen Ao was not angry, he just raised his eyelids and glanced at Bai Meicui.
A pair of black eyes were calm and gloomy, like a silent threat.
Bai Meicui's body froze instantly. She felt like she was being stared at by a wild beast. For a moment, she forgot what she was going to say.
"That's right! We are here to ask for money. Since Fourth Aunt has spoken, I won't be polite."
Bai Ying couldn't stand seeing others bullying the boss like this, so she stood up and brought the whole plate of braised pork in the middle of the table to Shen Ao, looking at him with a smile: "Eat quickly."
In an instant, the ice and snow melted.
A hint of smile flashed across Shen Ao's brows, "Okay."
He picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Although his movements were fast, he did not seem rude, and he did not look like a prisoner who had been mistreated for a long time.
“…”
Bai Meicui was so angry that she almost overturned the table.
It was her daughter who treated the guests, but these people didn't take her seriously at all!
Main table.
Seeing Bai Ying and Chen Ao living so comfortably, Yang Mingwu felt a surge of resentment.
Qiao Xiaoling noticed this accurately, her eyes turned, and she quickly came up with an idea.
“Ahem!”
Qiao Xiaoling coughed lightly a few times, attracting the attention of everyone in the courtyard.
"Thanks to Brother Yang's taking me in, I didn't get into trouble recently. Brother Yang is like my own brother. Today, Brother Yang and I are treating everyone to a meal. It's not just to introduce Brother Yang to you, but there's actually something else I want to tell you."
Qiao Xiaoling paused for a moment and kept the question in suspense.
Bai Ying felt nauseous upon hearing this. "Come on, please!" she thought. She had just caught Qiao Xiaoling and Yang Mingwu doing something outside, and her relationship with them was obvious.
As a result, when they came back, they started to act like brothers and sisters again, and they didn't feel bored at all.
Bai Ying felt her eyes were burning just by looking at it. She was just about to ask in a low voice whether Chen Ao had eaten enough. If he had, they would hurry up and leave.
But who knew that Qiao Xiaoling suddenly said:
"Thanks to everyone's help catching seafood, we've made some money from the seafood business. Although I don't have much left, I've discussed it with Brother Yang and decided to give one hundred yuan to our Bai family to repair the ancestral hall."
Wow!
The crowd suddenly became agitated.
"Is this true?"
"Xiaoling said she had discussed this with Captain Yang. How could this be false?"
"Okay, okay! Although Xiaoling's last name isn't Bai, we've watched her grow up, so why shouldn't she be considered a member of the Bai family? Good boy, your grandma didn't raise you in vain!"
…
Because most of the people present were Bai family members within the five generations of mourning, Qiao Xiaoling's behavior immediately received a lot of praise, and she was instantly treated like a star.
Bai Ying frowned, her intuition telling her that Qiao Xiaoling was not doing a good job.
Suddenly, Qiao Xiaoling's gaze passed through the crowd and fixed on Bai Ying. The corners of her mouth curled up with interest. "But... I seem to remember that cousin Bai Ying also did seafood business. She even sold seafood at a higher price than me and worked there for longer. She must have made a lot of money. Why haven't I heard that cousin has made any contribution to our Bai family?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd's gazes were focused on Bai Ying, and in addition to envy, there was also more dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Yes, Bai Ying has been in the seafood business for so long, he must have made more money!
Why not give them anything? They are real relatives!
The key point is that Bai Ying's surname is Bai, but he treats them so unfamiliarly, he is even worse than Qiao Xiaoling, who has a different surname!
“…”
Bai Ying, who was being stared at by everyone, suddenly became gloomy.
It feels like this is a Hongmen Banquet.
It seems that Qiao Xiaoling invited her to be a guest for this purpose.
Not to mention that all the money she has now been invested in the salt factory, even if she really has money, she will not just take it out and spend it like that.
She's not a big spender.
Of course she cares about the development of the brigade, but she cannot accept being forced to donate money.
She has her own way of leading the members to become rich...
Chen Ao also noticed the malicious looks in the eyes of the crowd who wanted to skin Bai Ying and drink her blood. He frowned and stood up decisively to block everyone's view of Bai Ying.
Bai Ying quickly gathered her emotions and shook her head at Chen Ao, "Don't worry."
Then, she glanced at everyone and asked, "So what do you want? Let me build the ancestral hall too?"
"We don't need the ancestral hall anymore, just lend us some money!"
"Yes, yes. My youngest son is going to school in the commune. Bai Ying, as his older sister, can you pay for the tuition?"
"I'm out of rice at home. My dear niece Bai Ying, please buy some rice for my family! I haven't tasted fine grains for many years."
…
Everyone in the yard started to make a fuss.
Seeing her planned scene unfold, Qiao Xiaoling was very satisfied, a confident smile on her lips. "Cousin, why don't you say anything? Don't you want to? Don't be stingy, cousin. I can earn a hundred yuan and use it to repair the ancestral hall. You earn much more than me, so you should at least give a few hundred yuan to improve the lives of your relatives, right?"
