Chapter 402: Bai Shi is risking his life again
Bai stared at her with a gloomy look in her eyes: "Don't talk nonsense outside. If you dare to say this to others, don't come to our house anymore."
Bai Lan choked. Her sister-in-law's eyes and attitude made her feel a little uneasy.
"Hey, sister, tell me, what happened?"
How could Bai say that?
She lowered her eyes and snorted softly, "Anyway, that family isn't a good family. Stop staring at them and trying to get any favors. Have you ever done them any favors?"
Bai Lan choked again.
Bai sneered: "If you don't have it, why should they give you the benefits?"
Bai Lan felt a little guilty. The news of Liang Minglang's death soon reached their village, and of course their family knew about it.
They were joking at the time, saying that Xu was living alone with her brother-in-law, and she might not be able to make ends meet and would go around asking for money, or even rob their family, right?
After all, their families are related, right?
This person, when he is extremely poor, what can't he do?
At that time, they felt disgusted just thinking about this possibility, and said that if such a day really came, they would definitely ignore them.
It’s not easy to earn some money for the family by working at home, so how can I give it to others for free?
They are not real relatives.
Even if they are real relatives, it depends on the situation.
But fortunately, Xu Zhichun never came to their house, so they forgot about it.
Hearing what Bai said, Bai Lan thought of this.
Bai Lan could do it herself, but she felt uncomfortable thinking about others. She muttered, "We're all relatives. What's wrong with them helping us when they get rich? I don't want anything for nothing. I'm hardworking, but I just lack an opportunity to make a fortune. Why don't they take me with them if they do something? I heard they have a lot of businesses. People from your village who have nothing to do with them have become their managers, and I heard they earn a lot. Then you—you should earn more, right?"
"Okay, stop talking!"
Bai was irritable.
Bai Lan looked at her sister-in-law and began to understand.
So, although Xu Shi didn't ask for money from their family, she actually asked for money from her sister-in-law's family, right? Her sister-in-law must have refused, so now she's being targeted.
Bai Lan sighed: "Didn't you help them back then?"
Bai sneered and looked directly at Bai Lan, as if she could see into her heart. She asked, "If it were you, would you help?"
"I--"
"You won't."
“.”
Bai Lan was a little embarrassed.
Bai closed her eyes and thought, okay, the fig leaf has been torn off even if she doesn't want to.
Okay.
"Anyway, you shouldn't have come today!"
Bai Lan curled her lips. Why shouldn't I come? I want to come again in the future. If you don't take advantage of the benefits, you are a bastard.
"Don't think anything of it. I'll say it again, that family is not easy to deal with."
Bai Lan was puzzled. "Is it that serious? It's not a big grudge! What can't be resolved with a few soft words?"
Bai roared in her heart, "I just can't! What a huge hatred!"
Xu almost died at her hands, and later she and Miss Zeng tried to harm Xu. This hatred is simply unresolved!
"Anyway, you listen to me, otherwise don't blame me for not giving you face!"
Bai threatened fiercely.
She had had enough. Did one or two of them treat her like this?
She was afraid of the third wife, and if her sister-in-law started to make trouble again, she would really turn against her.
Bai Lan was startled and stared at Bai in a daze.
"Did you hear that?"
“.”
Blanc understood, "Oh"
The sister-in-law refused to say, but it was probably true. Their second branch must have severely offended the third branch, right? No wonder, the sister-in-law's aunt didn't go there, and no one came to invite her.
Otherwise, even if she was not feeling well, couldn't she go over there and sit and chat with her friends and have some fun?
If even my sister-in-law's family can't benefit from it, then my family certainly can't.
Bai Lan was very depressed.
I thought that if I didn't have this relationship, there might be some hope if I prayed myself, so what's the point of having such a hindering relative?
Bai Lan sighed with envy, "It's such a lively place at their house today. The county magistrate and his family are here too, but I only saw them from afar. We didn't dare approach them, nor are we worthy. Look at Liang Mingxuan, he's so glorious! The county magistrate and the teachers in their county school are all praising him. That kid will be twelve this year, right? He should be getting married in two or three years. I'm afraid there will be so many people proposing marriages at the door right now. I wonder who he'll marry into. He'll definitely have to be from a wealthy family. Oh my, isn't this getting more prosperous?"
Unfortunately, this development has nothing to do with our family.
The sister-in-law had been so blunt, and even if Bai Lan was tempted, she didn't have much time left. At most, she could find an opportunity to tentatively mention it with a smile. If it worked out, that would be great. If not, there was nothing she could do. She had no say in the matter.
But envy is still envy.
The listener was interested, and Bai's heart moved. The more he thought about it, the more his heart beat.
What if her thirteen-year-old niece Bai Yunxian from her mother's side gets together with Liang Mingxuan?
If Liang Mingxuan married her niece, then of course the relationship with her family would be even closer. Would Liang Minglang and the Xu family still hold onto the past? For her, this would be an extra layer of security.
As long as Yun Xian married into her family, she would have plenty of ways to coax her into listening to her, and she would certainly listen to her aunt even more.
Then I don’t have to live in fear anymore, right?
Liang Mingxuan is still young and has a bright future. The couple will definitely not consider his marriage now. They will definitely wait for him to obtain higher academic achievements so that he can have the capital to marry a daughter from a higher-class family with better background.
Besides, even if he wanted to propose marriage now, they would not look down on Yun Xian.
But it doesn't matter.
Scholars have to have dignity, don't they? If Liang Mingxuan were to be branded as a man of bad behavior and bad character, his path to fame and fortune would be over before he even started.
As long as they can prove that he has ruined Yun Xian's innocence, their family will have to accept it no matter how unwilling they are.
My sister-in-law can't keep things secret, so I can't tell her about this.
She needs to think carefully and plan carefully.
Take advantage of the fact that there are many people here today.
With so many people, it is easy to find opportunities, and there are many people who can bear witness.
"Go and call Yunxian back."
"ah?"
"I have something to do with Yun Xian, go quickly!"
"this--"
"Go!"
Bai Lan was angry, but still left with a cold face.
Bai clenched her palms, her heart beating wildly with excitement.
At noon, the banquet officially began. Two tables were set up in the living room of the house, and they were for Magistrate Lu, his legal advisor, the county magistrate, the president of the county academy, and other gentlemen. Eight tables were set up in the yard and under the corridor, and they were for entertaining students, gentry, and other prestigious local families.
There was a large area outside the yard all the way to Aunt Zhu'er's yard, with dozens of tables set up in a row, and people sitting there were from the village and relatives and friends.
Everyone sat down in a lively atmosphere, and delicious dishes were served one after another, pushing the lively atmosphere to its climax.
