Chapter 27 The Bai family's life is getting better and better
The group continued on their journey, but later on Bai Li no longer gave money to the yamen runners casually. At most, he would sometimes take some of their food when he bought it.
However, since she had income from hunting, which gave her a source of money in the space, Bai Li went hunting almost every night. The prey she hunted could not be sold at a good price in the small county town, so she simply kept it for use as dried meat, smoked meat, and bacon.
Therefore, the Bai family started out with nothing, but when they were halfway there they had earned thousands of taels of silver, and their carriage was filled with various meat products.
As he had more and more things, when he was in a small county town, Bai Li bought an ordinary horse-drawn carriage with a canopy, mainly to carry clothes, food and other things.
Seeing that the Bai family's life in exile was getting better and better, Ma Dehai became jealous.
But Bai Li earned her money from hunting, and the yamen runner took advantage of her family, so he had no place to complain.
The scene at the post station where Bai Li beat those people so badly that they couldn't get out of bed for ten days or half a month was still fresh in his mind. He didn't want to try her iron fist.
His family only had one flatbed cart, which usually housed his old mother, concubine, and son, with a large family's spare clothes piled next to it. Even he often had to walk to the cart, allowing others to ride slowly.
When he was walking so hard that his eyes were full of smoke and his legs had lost all feeling, he was told to speed up and make up for the distance he had lost.
Was that his delay?
Now you want him to rush back with his legs moving forward?
He said lightly that he wanted to hurry up, and just waved the whip a few more times to increase his speed.
The horses are the ones who work hard. They are only concerned with enjoying the scenery in the car and complaining that the car is running too fast and the wind is too strong.
But they were so anxious that their faces turned pale and they were panting as they tried their best to catch up, but they gradually widened the distance between them.
At this time, the yamen runners who stayed behind to escort them would whip them mercilessly. Most of the members of his Ma family were whipped, and some even had whip marks and bloodstains on their bodies.
The treatment of his Ma family is like comparing them to that of the Bai family. The Ma family is in heaven and they are on earth. There is really no comparison.
But even though Ma Dehai is jealous, he doesn't dare to do anything wrong at the moment.
I thought to myself, let her be proud for now, and see if she can still live so comfortably in the place of exile?
The place of exile is vast, with an army stationed there and so many people. Let's see how many of them she can bribe!
He would just wait and see how the Bai family, who hadn't suffered much, would adapt to the heavy and tiring labor!
Bai Yue never got whipped again, and she felt relieved when she heard the Ma family members being beaten.
Thinking back to when she was being beaten, even the slightest whip would hurt her to the bone. Now, when she sees others being beaten, she has no sympathy at all, and instead blames the yamen runners for not using enough force.
She eats well and doesn't have to walk, all thanks to Bai Li.
But she didn't want to admit it and didn't want to accept her kindness.
I never said thank you, and I never felt grateful in my heart.
Because in her and her mother's minds, her family suffered all because of Bai Li's father.
Her family was innocently implicated and fell from being a noble official master to an exiled prisoner.
So no matter how much Bai Li does, it can't make up for her previous life of luxury. Why should she be grateful to her?
Bai Yue thought bitterly: If only she had used a little more strength that day, she would have fallen on the ground with a sharp stone, and even if she didn't die, her beautiful face would have been scratched.
No one will want a disfigured woman. Let's see how she will be favored by her parents in the future!
Unfortunately, she just stumbled a little, was stunned for a while and then was fine.
However, the scene was a bit chaotic at the time, and no one noticed that it was her who did it. In addition, she took advantage of the chaos to kick the sharp stone she had deliberately placed into the grass, and there was no evidence.
She only resented the disaster that Bai Li's father had brought to her family, but she had forgotten, or simply didn't want to remember, that the good days her family had enjoyed before were given by Bai Li's father.
To be precise, if her uncle had not supported her father Bai Zongshen, her parents would still be digging for food in the mud in the remote mountainous area. She might have married a peasant by now and become the vulgar village woman she despised the most.
Some people are like this, they eat with the bowl in their hands and curse when they put the bowl down.
When you get benefits, you think you deserve it, but what you get is far from enough. But once the benefits are gone, you will hold a grudge.
These words are absolutely true when applied to Bai Yue's family.
But Bai Li and Bai Yue had no deep hatred, so why did she push her so cruelly?
No one noticed this problem, and Bai Li didn't intend to say it out.
But even if she told it, her family might not believe it.
When she calmed down, she thought about it carefully and tried to find the cause, but she could not find the answer.
She is not good at dealing with people. How could she, a top-level boss from the apocalypse who fights zombies all day, have imagined that Bai Yue spoiled her to the point of lawlessness simply because she was jealous of her grandmother, parents and love since she was a child, her two brothers treated her like a treasure, and several uncles, nephews and nieces also depended on her for their lives.
Is it because of this that you have this narrow-minded mentality of competing with her in everything and taking her things for yourself?
The top and bottom streams are two completely different worlds, and their thinking is also very different. Even if Bai Li guessed her little thoughts, he would sneer and would not take it to heart at all.
She is now working hard to store goods and save money, so that when the time comes, her family will be well-fed and well-fed and will not bother with their family.
Li Dong was quite satisfied with this mission. Although the prisoner had become the master, the benefits he gained were greater than any previous mission.
At this moment, he had received several hundred taels of silver from Bai Li, and with the previous money, the total amount was more than a thousand taels.
He is forty years old and has two sons and one daughter with his wife, Ms. Wu.
His three children have all started their own families and have children, so he can be said to be surrounded by grandchildren.
He had already made up his mind that he would quit his job after completing this mission.
Bring your wife, children and family back to your hometown village, buy a few acres of land, build a big brick and tile house, farm the land and do some small business, and live a happy life. This is definitely better than being exposed to the wind and sun and having your life tied to your belt.
He served as a police officer for twenty years and as an escort for ten years.
If he had not known how to advance and retreat and how to adapt to the times over the past ten years, he would not have come this far.
A lot of things have happened in the past ten years. If his brothers hadn't fought to the death to protect him, he would have lost his life long ago.
So he was good to his brothers and was willing to share the money he earned with them. Of course, he always took the biggest share.
He would share the small change he earned with his brothers, and they were all grateful and loyal to him.
In addition, he would not be too harsh on the prisoners. He would stop his brother from beating people too hard and would usually turn a blind eye.
With his brother playing the good cop and him playing the bad cop, the criminals will be willing to drain themselves dry just to save their lives.
Very few of the prisoners he escorted died or were injured on the way.
Therefore, he can usually complete his tasks smoothly and return safely.
