Chapter 43: Unclear relationship
Bai Dazhu busily said: “Niang, what you said is wrong . There was really such a good thing in this world . The other compet.i.tor really won a bag of flour . It’s just, that man’s appet.i.te was bigger than us . Even if the two of us, added what we eat, we can’t defeat that man . So tell me, how are we gonna win if we met such a person?”
Old Lady Bai stared at Bai Dazhu: “How many buns did you eat today?”
Bai Dazhu stretched out his four fingers: “Four . ”
Then, Old Lady Bai looked at Bai Erzhu and asked the same question: “What about you?”
Bai Erzhu sticks out his two fingers: “Two… …”
Old Lady Bai felt her brain began to hurt again: “I bought six buns for 100 copper coins?”
Bai Erzhu busily explain:ed “You should blame the owner . He had a black heart . The buns were too dry to eat, but he didn’t give us water . How are we going to catch up? I’m too thirsty, so how can I eat more?”
Bai Dazhu and Bai Erzhu were confused . But, Bai Dazhu took the initiative to speak: “Niang, she hurt her hand . Now, she can’t work in the field . Just let her live in Hu Changlin’s house for a few more days . Let her return when she’s cured . We can save a few more ration by then . ”.
On the side, Mrs . Liu opened her mouth: “You might not know, but we went to Hu Changlin’s house today . And guess what? This Zhao Lan actually went outside with Hu Changlin to work in their field . She didn’t work in our family’s field but work for the others . Since she can work with one hand, why she must stay in Hu Changlin’s house?” .
When Bai Dazhu and Bai Erzhu heard this, they immediately jumped up with their feet: “What? What did you say? She went and work in Hu Changlin’s field? She can be that shameless? A widow and a coward working together, their relationship is unclear . She can shame herself, but she shouldn’t let the Bai Family lose a face!”.
