Chapter 23 Fifth Brother is the best when he admits his mistakes and corrects them
Bai Ruian took the ginseng and entered Qinxin Garden, where he saw Bai Shian and Li Suining were both there.
He stepped forward with a smile, "Fourth Brother, how is it? Did you get the money?"
"No." Bai Shian said coldly.
Bai Ruian was so proud that he didn't notice that the fourth brother had a very bad look on his face. He shook the box in his hand and said, "Fourth brother, guess what's here?"
"Not interested." Bai Shi'an almost squeezed out these three words from between his teeth.
Bai Ruian finally realized that something was wrong and scratched his head, "What are you doing, Fourth Brother? I bought ginseng for Mother. Aren't you happy?"
"Bai Ruian, kneel down!" Bai Shian's face looked very scary.
He was originally the most like Bai Yunfeng, and now that he was angry, he frightened Bai Ruian so much that he trembled. "Fourth brother, what are you doing? I..."
Li Suining whispered beside him, "Fifth brother, you made a mistake."
"Made a mistake?" Bai Ruian looked at Li Suining, then at Bai Shian, and guessed that the little guy had betrayed him.
But he didn't think he had done anything wrong. Facts proved that he had indeed made money and bought ginseng. "What did I do wrong? I did ask my sister for the numbers and bought one ticket. So what? I didn't steal or rob..."
"Nothing was stolen or robbed?" Bai Shian sneered, "Did you know that the person who was going to buy that number jumped into the river today?"
It turned out that the person who jumped into Jinjiang to commit suicide today was the scholar whose number was snatched away by Bai Ruian at that time.
Bai Ruian's body swayed, "How...how is this possible?"
Li Suining nodded, "Fifth brother, it's true, we all saw it."
In an instant, Bai Ruian's face turned pale, his legs became weak, and he could hardly stand. "How could this happen? That scholar... looks a little down and out, but... but I didn't expect him to..."
He couldn't help crying, "Fourth Brother, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, I just... I just wanted to buy ginseng for Mom quickly, I didn't think too much, and I didn't think..."
He finally couldn't hold on any longer and sat down on the ground. "I killed that scholar. I am a sinner. I should..."
Bai Shian looked down at him and said, "Old Five, let me ask you, if God gave you another chance, would you still go for that number?"
"No, it definitely won't happen again." Bai Ruian shook his head frantically, tears streaming down his face, his face full of regret.
Li Suining couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw this, and whispered to Bai Shian, "Fourth brother, let's...don't scare fifth brother. He will definitely know his mistake."
Bai Ruian was stunned. He looked at Li Suining and then at Bai Shian. "Fourth brother, what's going on? Tell me quickly. I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
Bai Shian ignored him and gave Xiaotuanzi a look, obviously asking Xiaotuanzi to tell Lao Wu what had happened.
"Fifth brother, Uncle Zaiwen did jump into the river," Li Suining wiped Bai Ruian's tears with his sleeve. "Fourth brother and I happened to pass by there at the time, and it was fourth brother who jumped in to save him. Fourth brother also..."
She pouted a little proudly, "Actually, my fourth brother and I borrowed a thousand taels from the prince, but we knew Uncle Zaiwen needed the money more, so we gave it to Uncle Zaiwen."
"Sister!" After being frightened, Bai Ruian hugged Li Suining and burst into tears. He cried and admitted his mistake, "I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I will never steal other people's things again."
In fact, at this moment, the uneasiness that had always lingered in his heart finally disappeared completely.
When he snatched the number from the scholar, he knew in his heart that he had done something wrong, but he didn't want to face it and didn't want to miss this easy opportunity to make money.
But now, he really understood that he was wrong.
"Okay, Fifth Brother, don't cry, don't cry," Little Tuanzi patted Bai Ruian's back gently like a little adult, "Let's go together to give the ginseng to mother. She will definitely be very happy."
"Okay, okay." Bai Ruian quickly wiped his tears and stood up. He looked at Bai Shian with guilt, "This ginseng was bought by my fourth brother, but when the time comes, I will go with you to pay back Master Lin's money. You...don't ignore me."
"Don't worry, you must have a share in the repayment." Bai Shi'an finally smiled and continued, "However, this ginseng was actually bought by my sister. If it weren't for my sister's reminder, I wouldn't have been able to save Master Lin that day. The rest of the matter..."
"Yes, it belongs to my sister." Bai Ruian nodded in agreement. He looked at Li Suining seriously and said, "Sister, I want to apologize to you. Last night... Fifth Brother shouldn't have lied to you. Can you forgive Fifth Brother?"
"Hehe..." Li Suining grinned, "It's okay, Fifth Brother admits his mistakes and corrects them, that's the best!"
"However, you still owe someone an apology," Bai Shi'an said with a serious expression, "Tomorrow is a day off, I'll take you there."
Bai Ruian understood instantly and nodded, "Okay!"
The three brothers and sisters smiled at each other and went to see Wei Ranzhu together.
"Where did you get it?" Wei Ranzhu saw the thick and long ginseng in the box, which was obviously old and not cheap.
On the way, they had already discussed it, so Bai Shian took the initiative to say, "Mom, this is from Prince Lin."
"The son of Marquis Ding'an?" Wei Ranzhu's heart, which had been hanging in the air for a moment, finally relaxed a little.
Bai Shian nodded, "Yes, I saved him during the last horse riding incident. He wanted to thank me for saving his life, and knowing that his mother was about to give birth, he gave him this ginseng."
Wei Ranzhu smiled and said, "This child is thoughtful, but this gift is too valuable. We can't just accept it casually. Fourth Brother, you have to return it to the Ding'an Marquis Mansion tomorrow."
"Mom, please accept it." Bai Ruian stepped forward and looked at Wei Ranzhu distressedly, "You look bad recently and you've lost weight. You need some nourishment."
Bai Shian also tried to persuade him, "Yes, if you think this gift is valuable, I will find a way to return it to Prince Lin with something else. The Marquis of Ginseng has plenty, and they don't need it, so you can use it."
Wei Ranzhu was struggling. A few days ago, Wen Yuanzhang did suggest that she take a ginseng in the near future, but the mansion didn't have that much spare money. The ginseng came just in time, but... she didn't want the fourth child to owe Master Lin such a big favor.
"Mom, just stay here," Li Suining snuggled up to Wei Ranzhu's legs, tilted her chubby face up, and said in a baby voice, "Eat it, and the little brother in your belly will be healthy too."
These words finally convinced Wei Ranzhu.
"Okay, mother will stay." Wei Ranzhu looked at Bai Shi'an with a smile, "Thank Master Lin on my behalf. When it's convenient in the future, invite Master Lin to visit your house."
She really needed the ginseng now, so she decided to keep it first and then find a way to collect 1,200 taels of silver to send to the Ding'an Marquis Mansion.
She touched the children's heads lovingly and let them go play.
