Without waiting for Bai Liqiang to speak, Bai Ruoyun said again, "Mom, big brother must have said that he gave it to him. Big sister gave big brother ten dollars as a hush money." Thinking of this, Bai Ruoyun glanced at her big sister. If the amount of money given at that time was the same, she would definitely not complain. Humph, she made you reluctant to give up five dollars and made you biased. She is the most petty one, and you must remember this.
Li Qiulan glanced at Bai Liqiang and asked, "Is that so?"
Bai Liqiang hung his head in silence. Li Qiulan was confused. Her expression suddenly turned cold. "Give me the money."
Bai Ruoxin wanted to struggle a bit, but her eyes met Bai Jiansheng's cold eyes. She immediately remembered the kick she received in the afternoon. She was too scared to hide and hurriedly took out some money from her pocket and stuffed it into Li Qiulan's hand. "Except for Dadi's ten dollars and Ruoyun's five dollars, it's all here."
Li Qiulan glanced at her and counted the money, then picked it up and said to Bai Ruozhen, "Zhenzhen, it's your elder sister who's wronged you in this matter, but things have come to this, so don't blame me. I'll give you this money first and give it to you when we leave, okay?"
"Okay." Bai Ruozhen nodded and smiled. It was much safer to leave the money with her mother than with her. Otherwise, those people with bad intentions in the family would ask her for some today and some tomorrow, and there would be nothing left when she left.
Li Qiulan looked at her sensible smile and felt even worse. She didn't even eat her dinner properly and just lay down on the bed to sleep.
Seeing that her parents had gone to bed, Bai Ruoyun hurried over to Bai Ruozhen and said flatteringly, "Second sister, you see, I'm still on your side."
"Well, I have to thank my sister." Bai Ruozhen smiled gently.
Bai Ruoyun didn't feel embarrassed at all, and rubbed her hands together, "Actually, if I hadn't betrayed my eldest sister, I could have gotten five dollars. But now I don't even have five dollars left because of helping my second sister."
"Oh, dear sister." Bai Ruozhen held her little hand with heartache and said pitifully, "I would like to give you some, but the money is all with mom. Mom said that she would give it to me when I go to the countryside. Sister, thank you very much for what you did today. I will definitely remember your kindness when I go to the countryside in the future." Don't think that you will forget that it was you who took out the money. She, Bai Ruozhen, is the most petty person. She will take revenge if she has a grudge. It's good that she didn't beat you because you are young.
"Second sister..." Bai Ruoyun was stunned. She didn't expect you to be such a second sister. She helped her second sister get back so much money, but her second sister was reluctant to give her ten yuan. She didn't believe that her second sister didn't even have ten yuan in her hand. It was obvious that she didn't want to give it to her. It was so hateful.
Bai Ruoyun suddenly regretted it, and then thought about what had happened since her second sister hit her head. Could it be that her second sister's brain was really damaged? She wouldn't give her porridge, eggs, or steamed buns, and now she wouldn't give her money. It was so annoying. How could she be so stupid? If she hadn't exposed it, she could have gotten five yuan.
"Heh, you deserve to lose even five dollars." Bai Ruoxin looked at Bai Ruoyun with a look that could have been embroidered with needles. Bai Ruoyun rolled her eyes and snorted stubbornly, "It's better than losing two hundred dollars."
"Are you looking for a beating?" Bai Ruoxin was so angry that she raised her hand to hit her.
Bai Ruoyun immediately shouted, "Mom, my elder sister is going to hit me."
Then Li Qiulan's voice came, "Bai Ruoxin, I think you're itching for trouble, aren't you?"
"Mom, you are biased." Bai Ruoxin stomped her feet in anger, glared at Bai Ruoyun and went to clean the table.
Bai Ruoyun made a face at her and rolled her eyes at Bai Ruozhen, then pulled Bai Lishan to play nearby.
Bai Ruozhen of course didn't work either. She stood up and was about to go to the inner room. Bai Ruoxin looked at her and asked, "Second sister, don't you want to help clean up?"
Bai Ruozhen glanced at Bai Jiansheng and said, "No." He had just been wronged, so he had to recuperate.
"Are you blaming me, second sister?" Bai Ruoxin looked at her and suddenly wanted to cry again. "Second sister, I know this isn't right, but I have my own reasons."
Bai Ruozhen was too lazy to pretend with her, so he ignored her and stood up and went into the inner room.
When she got to the inner room, Bai Ruozhen simply folded the cotton coat, cotton pants and bedding that Bai Ruoxin had given her during the day, found a big bag to put them in, and then placed them on the cabinet.
At this time, Bai Liqiang came in from outside, hesitantly came to Bai Ruozhen, and said embarrassedly, "Second sister, please don't be angry with the eldest sister..."
Bai Ruozhen smiled softly, "I'm not angry. After all, she is our eldest sister."
The more she acted like this, the more embarrassed Bai Liqiang felt. He had a good relationship with his eldest sister and wanted her to stay, but when he and his eldest sister really plotted against his second sister, he felt uncomfortable. Maybe it was because they were twin brothers.
Bai Ruozhen noticed his expression and suddenly pulled out a cloth bag from her pillow. She opened it and found a few coins inside. She found two two-yuan notes and one one-yuan note, rolled them up and stuffed them into Bai Liqiang's hand. "Brother, this money is given to you by your second sister. Your second sister isn't as rich as your eldest sister, but don't think it's too little. After all, we don't have many opportunities to be rich."
"Then...thank you, Second Sister." Bai Liqiang wanted to refuse, but the ten yuan he earned today was gone, and these five yuan seemed particularly important. He took it, put it in his pocket, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Second Sister."
His second sister is not bad either.
Bai Ruozhen smiled and sighed, "Our eldest sister is really amazing. She actually managed to save twenty yuan." She glanced at the money in her hand and said, "I have only eight or nine yuan left, which is the New Year's money I saved since I was a child and I haven't been willing to spend it yet."
Bai Liqiang was stunned.
Yes, they had received very little New Year's money since they were little. If they were given fifty cents, it was because their parents loved them. The rest of the money was just five or ten cents from their mother for everyday purchases. Her second sister, who didn't spend money, was lucky enough to save eight or nine yuan. It was normal for him, who could spend money, not to save any. But his eldest sister was also quite generous, buying hairpins and oil one moment and then some. How could she still save twenty yuan?
