Shui Qing frowned, and Fan Jin pulled her and shook his head, whispering, "He's just a relative of his; don't take what others say to heart."
Bai Ziqian knew that his aunt was always sharp-tongued and greedy, but his grandmother was a good person and always generous with money. He had to try to get more thanks for Uncle Fan and Aunt Shuiqing's family!
"Grandma, where are my father and mother? Why didn't they come with me?" My father is loose-willed, and my mother is even more straightforward. If they were here, they would definitely be more willing to let me go.
When Bai Ling heard that the question was about her elder brother and sister-in-law, she thought her nephew missed them. She pouted and interjected, "It's all because of your mother. She heard that your white horse appeared in Xingning Prefecture and insisted on going there."
Your father was worried, so he went with you. Xingning Prefecture is two days and one night's journey from Guangning Prefecture, and he won't be able to return in time.
She refused to say the rest.
However, fearing that her grandson might misunderstand her son, Madam Bai continued to explain: "My dear grandson, don't blame your parents. If they hadn't gone to Xingning Prefecture and caught that horse trader, how would they have known that you had this accident before?"
We've been searching for someone in the prefectural city for so long, wasting so much time! Your parents sent a message by carrier pigeon first, so they'll probably be waiting for you at home when we get there.”
Although she disliked her daughter-in-law who came from a martial arts school, her daughter-in-law had given birth to a wonderful grandson, and finding her grandson was indeed thanks to her daughter-in-law.
Hearing that his parents wouldn't be back for a while, and that only Old Madam Bai could make the decision, Bai Ziqian looked at Bai Ling with cold eyes, but his face had an impeccable smile: "Aunt, a gift is a gift, and gratitude is gratitude."
They saved their nephew, and their nephew is a member of the Bai family. That means they've done the Bai family a favor, hasn't it?
He emphasized in his words that he represented the Bai family.
His aunt used to look down on his mother because she came from a martial arts school, and she spoke very disdainfully of her, which led to her making things difficult for him.
He keeps saying that if it weren't for the Bai family, he wouldn't be living such a luxurious life now, and he should be grateful to the Bai family.
If he has ambition, he should rely on himself, not on the Bai family.
He was indeed provoked before, and thought he should earn money by his own strength.
But after what Aunt Shuiqing said yesterday, he realized that he was a descendant of the Bai family, so how could he lack ambition if he relied on his own family?!
Bai Ling was taken aback.
Old Madam Bai only gave birth to her and her eldest brother, and the Bai family has had only one son for four generations. Not to mention close relatives, there are very few relatives outside the fifth degree of kinship left.
Without Bai Ziqian, the Bai family's vast fortune would have belonged only to her sons, Wu Guangzong and Wu Yaozu.
"You silly child! If you say these things, these poor people will stick to you like leeches and suck your blood! And sucking your blood is the same as sucking the Bai family's blood."
"You're still too naive, Mother. Look how naive Qian'er is. How can we be at ease handing over the Bai family's vast business to him in the future?" Bai Ling first spoke to Bai Ziqian with concern, then looked at Old Madam Bai with a worried expression.
Madam Bai's expression was rather unpleasant, but not because of her grandson. Rather, it was because Bai Ling had been saying outside that the Bai family's descendants were not good enough to support the family business.
She gave Bai Ling a fierce look, then turned to her grandson and gave him a gentle instruction: "My dear grandson, your aunt and I heard from the servant who came back yesterday that we have a general understanding of the situation in Shanshui Village."
Your aunt and I have already discussed the thank-you gift, it's in the last carriage. Don't worry about it, we'll make sure you repay the favor cleanly and efficiently!
In fact, Bai Ling was in charge of arranging the thank-you gift. Although she disagreed with it somewhat, she thought that what her daughter said made a lot of sense.
If you give gold, silver, jade, or other valuable items to poor, remote villages where people are so poor they can't even afford cornbread, it will only make them lazy.
If they use it all up, they'll come to the Bai family for more, and then keep asking for more. This cycle of taking advantage of kindness will never end. Wouldn't that mean the Bai family is raising several bloodsucking leeches?
They had to get things done before their indecisive son and daughter-in-law returned.
Hearing that Madam Bai had a gift to thank him, Bai Ziqian felt a little relieved.
