Won't!
At this moment, Madam Bai wished the ground would crack open so she could crawl into it.
"If Mother were here today, she would never have put me in such a humiliating situation," Bai Ziqian added coldly.
Old Madam Bai looked at the culprit, Bai Ling, who was blaming the villagers for being ungrateful.
"Shut up! It was all your idea, you money-grubbing wretch! You haven't embarrassed yourself enough already!"
Bai Ling, who had been scolded by Old Madam Bai, shut her mouth, lowered her head, and dared not utter a sound.
She had been married into Guangning Prefecture for over ten years, and while she didn't know everything about the village, she certainly knew a good deal. She never imagined that she would capsize in such a small, picturesque village.
Especially in front of my mother!
The Bai family is now run by the mother, and she is hoping that her mother will give her more of the family's wealth.
She has been in charge of the Wu family for over ten years, and her husband's family is getting worse and worse. Even the huge dowry she brought has been reduced by it. If she offends her mother, given how much her eldest brother hates her, he will definitely not give her a single penny!
After scolding Bai Ling, Madam Bai walked up to the old village chief and Fan Jinshuiqing, bowed slightly and said, "This matter was not well thought out by me, please forgive me."
Fan Jin stood up and returned the greeting, saying in his usual gentle voice, "We didn't ask for anything in return. Madam, please take this rice back with you."
The old village chief sat on the bamboo bed without getting up, and only said: "Yes, other families in the village are not well-off, so they would never take in a strange child to eat and drink at home for so long."
Your grandson is lucky to have met such kind people. But even without this rice, they won't try to take advantage of you, so please rest assured.
Old Madam Bai was extremely agitated.
For the first time in my life, I didn't know whether to stand or sit, and I felt like my face was being rubbed on the ground.
Bai Ziqian's face turned red, and he stammered, "Uncle Fan, Aunt Fan, this time it was my grandmother and aunt who made the decision. When my parents come back, they will definitely come to thank me in person!"
The implication is that his grandmother and aunt are not his parents and don't care about his affairs; his parents will prepare a new thank-you gift.
Old Madam Bai felt she had lost face, and today's events had chilled her grandson's heart, but she couldn't say anything. This was such an unethical thing to do!
Shui Qing was really looking forward to the thank-you gift before the incense stick was lit.
These days, we've made money building houses, but who would complain about having too much money? Especially since next year might be a year of disaster.
But now she has come to realize that relying on herself is worse than relying on anyone else!
Money, you still have to earn it yourself.
She politely declined, saying, "No, no need for thanks. You should go home with your grandma."
You know I'm about to build a house, and it'll be a mess of bricks, tiles, and mud. Well, see you later.
Shui Qing couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh to the boy who had become tanned and thinner after spending more than a month with him and was now on the verge of tears, but the meaning behind her words was quite clear.
Bai Ziqian bit his lip and said softly, "I am different from them."
He has lost face today, but that's because he lacks the ability; he's not the one in charge.
"Grandma, let's go home." Anything she says sounds like an excuse; we'll only have to wait and see what she does next.
Led by ornate double-row carriages, one after another sped away.
The villagers who had come to watch the spectacle dispersed quickly.
Sun Jinhua was in a particularly good mood. She spat and said gloatingly, "I thought your second uncle's family would get a lot of gold and silver, but they got nothing. They even fed them for more than a month and wasted food for nothing. Isn't that stupid?"
"Our family must not do anything foolish in the future."
"My second uncle's family is a joke."
"That's hilarious."
