Chapter 2863 Destined
No one took Zhou Man's words seriously, and they all started discussing among themselves, wondering if it was really impossible to have a boy?
Seeing this, Bai Shan knocked the gavel and asked them to disperse. "The sentence will take effect from today. I hope you will remember today's punishment. In the future, you will be friendly and friendly to your neighbors. Don't spread rumors or act impulsively."
The onlookers responded "yes" in unison. Today they finally saw the world.
Generally speaking, if such matters are not too serious, they will be handled by the village head, and rarely will they be brought to the government office.
After this incident, not to mention those far away, the neighbors around this alley will be more cautious. If they are really taken to the government office because of a conflict, it will be embarrassing at best, but it will be a huge loss if they lose a lot of money like the Guo family; the Wu family will also be miserable.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they thought about the fact that Wu's daughter-in-law could not have children because of this incident.
The crowd dispersed, and Bai Shan was about to go back holding Zhou Man's hand when Da Fu Niang suddenly called him over and held out her hand to Guo Dacai in front of them, "Yesterday's medicine money and today's medicine money, the total is... two eighty-six coins."
Manbao couldn't help but laugh and calculated it for her, "One hundred and seventy-two coins."
"Yes, you can buy tomorrow's medicine early in the morning, but you also have to pay us for today's and yesterday's medicine."
Bai Shan also stopped and looked at the Guo family. He didn't ask them to give it, but he didn't say they didn't need to give it either.
Guo Dacai couldn't help but look at Guo's father.
Village Chief Guo couldn't help but secretly glare at Guo Lai. Guo Lai gritted his teeth, went back to the house to get two strings of money, handed them to Dafu Niang, and forced a smile, saying, "It was my daughter-in-law who was too rough with her the other day. This is the money for the medicine for the past two days. The extra money will be used to buy some chicken for my niece-in-law to nourish her."
Although Dafu Niang didn't know how much more two strings of money were than one hundred and seventy-two coins, she knew two hundred coins was definitely more, so she quickly took it.
Manbao smiled faintly and said, "With twenty-eight coins, you can't buy a chicken, but you can buy two or three pounds of meat. Auntie, why don't you use the money to buy two pounds of meat? Dahua and Dafu have been frightened these past two days, so it's a good time to replenish their energy."
Bai Shan also said, "That's right. It's the busy farming season now. The fields at home should be plowed and sown, right? It's all heavy work, so we need to catch up first."
If it was about giving Dahua some nourishment, Dafu Niang would definitely not be willing, but for her own son...
Dafu Niang hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Bai Shan then had the tables and chairs moved away. He put the gavel in his pocket and left hand in hand with Zhou Man. Before leaving, he said to Dahua, "You must take good care of yourself and try to survive. Otherwise, if you die, the compensation the Guo family gave you will be gone."
When Wu Dafu heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and the Guo family members couldn't help but look up.
Bai Shan smiled at them and said to Dahua, "If you die, the Guo family will be truly implicated in a murder case. Then it will be difficult for this county to show leniency."
The newborn baby died because of premature birth, falls, malnutrition, and other factors. Therefore, Bai Shanding charged Diao with assault, not murder. But if Dahua died...
Not to mention Diao, even Guo Dacai trembled and did not dare to provoke the Wu family at this time.
The rich lady's face turned pale at first glance, and she looked like she would not live long. What if I said something that upset her and she got excited and had a hemorrhage?
The Guo family quickly turned around and left.
Wu Dafu also turned around and helped Dahua back to the house.
The two children were sitting on the bed playing. When they saw the adults come in, they immediately climbed down from the bed using their hands and feet.
They had already changed into clean clothes, which Dahua had changed for them last night. Seeing them crawling down, she said, "What are you doing down here? You were playing on the bed and you've soiled your clothes again."
Wu Dafu looked down at the two children, picked them up and put them on the bed, saying, "If they get dirty, let mother wash them."
After all, they are his own daughters, so Wu Dafu certainly likes them. It’s just that he was too busy to make a living in the past.
They were asleep when he went out, and too tired to even talk when he came back, so he rarely spent time with them.
But if nothing unexpected happened, he might have only these two children in his life.
Thinking of this, Wu Dafu became a little more patient with them. He carried the two of them to the bed and put them down, then helped Dahua sit down.
He said, "Just lie down first. I'll ask Mom to buy some meat."
He turned and went to find his mother.
As he was leaving, he saw the county magistrate and his wife leading some people out. His mother was standing at the door seeing them off. He couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Mother, what did the adults say to you?"
The wealthy woman said angrily, "What else can I say? Just tell your wife to take good care of her health, otherwise it will be harmful to her lifespan. She also said that if she takes good care of herself, she might be able to have children in the future. In my opinion, why spend so much money? It would be better to just take the 50,000 yuan and make a promise. We won't treat her badly with the money. We will buy her the medicine and meat she needs. If she doesn't use it all, we can prepare dowries for her two children in the future..."
"My Lord has already said that this is the Guo family's job to choose. Can you be the one who decides for them?" Wu Dafu was a little irritated. He had been in jail for two days, not only hungry but also frightened. He was very hungry now, so he held out his hand and said, "Give me some money. I'll go buy some meat and you can cook the meal."
Dafu Niang asked, "Why are we eating meat when it's not a festival?"
She still didn't give up, lowering her voice and said, "Do you really intend to stay with her forever? We can't really have no descendants in our Wu family, right?"
She said, "Save the money. She's not in good health. If she gets sick in a few years... you'll have enough money to marry a wife."
Wu Dafu said irritably, "How can we marry her? Our family is so poor, and I have two daughters. Even if it's a widow, marrying a daughter-in-law costs four or five hundred taels of silver. How much money do we have now? We don't even have two hundred taels of silver."
"Besides, you can't give up your life just to get married, right?" Wu Dafu said, "It's not like I don't have a wife. Stop talking and give me the money quickly."
Wu Dafu managed to squeeze out twenty cents from Dafu's mother and went to buy meat with his arms swung.
He already has two daughters. Even if he marries another wife, he might still have daughters.
Didn’t the county magistrate’s wife say that having a son is a man’s decision? She thought it must be because their family has always had more yin than yang, so he always had daughters.
In a few years?
Humph, in a few years when his two daughters grow up, the feng shui of the house will become even gloomier, and it will be even more impossible to have a son. In this case, he might as well buy meat to eat now. Why bother to marry another wife and have so many daughters?
Bai Shan led Zhou Man out of the alley and couldn't help but ask her, "Is it really the man who decides whether to have a boy?"
"That's fake!" Man Bao said, "Men can't control the fusion of bloodlines. The next one will definitely be colored. So this is destined by heaven. It's not something a woman can decide, and naturally, it's not something a man can decide either."
"It's just that whether it's a boy or a girl is determined by the man's bloodline."
