Bai Ruixue knelt on the ground holding the bench.

Bai Lizheng looked at her in confusion.

"The husband was deceived by his classmate's friend. He used the pretext of writing poetry together to trick the husband into signing a paper contract. Unexpectedly, the paper contract turned out to be the money owed to the gambling house. The man had run away and the gambling house could not find him. We can only come to He's house to make trouble, saying that I want my husband to pay back three hundred taels of silver. Where can we get so much money? The people in the gambling shop are very vicious. They want to break my husband's legs and sell me to a brothel. Go, I can't help it, please help me and lend me some money. When your husband is admitted to the imperial examination, I will return the money to you."

These words were taught to her word by word by He Tian last night.

"Let me tell you, I had to marry him at all costs. How come I came back so well? It turned out that I was going back to my parents' house to ask for money, three hundred taels. You sold our family and you didn't even have three hundred taels. How dare you open your mouth? Come here, my white land has raised a daughter, I have raised a father! I owe you! It doesn’t cost me money, it costs me my life, take it.”

Bai Lizheng's originally softened heart hardened again.

He slammed the table.

The mother and daughter were so frightened that they trembled all over.

After he yelled, he went back into the house and lay down.

Stop talking to Bai Ruixue.

"Mom, look at Dad, I'm in such a miserable state and you still won't help me. Mom, can you help me? I don't want to be sold into a brothel, and the child can't live without a father. Please help me, help the child. , please mother, I really have no choice."

Bai Ruixue attacked her mother again.

She was crying, fussing, and complaining.

Bai Zhao's clear mind was confused by the noise.

"Xiaoxue, Mom doesn't know how to help you, so don't go back. If you don't go back, you won't be sold, okay? Just stay at home and don't go anywhere. Mom won't be able to see your mother, no. Let’s leave Xiaoxue, we won’t leave.”

Mrs. Bai Zhao held her hand and refused to let go.

"Mom, how could I not go back? I'm already married. Mom, please help me, okay? Mom, do you know where the deed of the house is?"

She lowered her voice.

"House deed? Land deed? What is it? Mom doesn't know. Mom doesn't know anything. I'm hungry. I want to eat, eat, eat." Mrs. Bai Zhao shook her head crazily, and she shook off Bai Ruixue's hand.

Talking to himself, he touched the wall and went to the kitchen.

"Mother, mother——"

No matter how Bai Ruixue called her, Bai Zhao would not look back.

All she wanted to do was eat.

"You still say you love me, and you scold me whenever I ask for money. What kind of parents are you?" Bai Ruixue stomped her feet angrily.

She gritted her teeth and said fiercely to her mother's back.

"Boom boom boom——"

Sudden.

There was a knock on the door.

"Who -" Bai Ruixue asked impatiently.

"Is this the lady just now? I'm a coachman. I'm going back to town. If you don't go back, just pay the fare. If you're later, you'll have to drive at night. It's dangerous. I have something to do at home. , I have to go back quickly."

Hearing the familiar voice, the coachman breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he found the wrong person.

He shouted back inside.

The driver waited at the entrance of the village for a long time, but Bai Ruixue didn't come out. He could only pull the ox cart into the village to look for her. He didn't know Bai Ruixue's name, let alone where her home was. He had no choice but to ask the villagers. He was lucky. It was quite good. I asked a random person, the villagers who had just watched the fun.

When the villagers heard from the driver that the young woman who had just returned from the village entrance guessed that it was Bai Ruixue, they gave him directions.

"Creak-" The door opened, and Bai Ruixue looked at the coachman with a slumped face.

"Why are you urging me? I asked you to wait for a while at the entrance of the village. How long have you become impatient now? How can you have customers like this in the future? No wonder you have been a little rickshaw driver all your life. Now, I'll give you the money. You Go back by yourself, I will never rent your car again."

Bai Ruixue didn't get the deed of the house, so naturally she wouldn't leave.

Anyway, the time will arrive the day after tomorrow.

She planned to take advantage of the night to rummage through her home.

In addition, she was angry just now, so she vented her anger on the coachman and scolded him severely.

When the coachman was scolded, he did not dare to retaliate. He was just a miserable man living outside the city gate.

If Bai Ruixue slanders him everywhere, how can he attract people in the future?

"That's not right, ma'am, where's the ten cents we agreed on?" The coachman looked at the copper in his hand and saw only three cents.

he asked doubtfully.

"Ten coins back and forth, am I going back?" Bai Ruixue didn't expect the driver to be so greedy, and her tone became even worse.

"However, the car was empty when I went back. It still counts as two round trips. If you had agreed to only make one trip before, I must have picked up someone else along the way. You can't do this. Even if you don't go back, you still have to pay ten cents. , how can I give you three coins? I’ve been waiting for you for so long.”

The coachman looked at Bai Ruixue's rogue face and his lower lip trembled with anger.

Bai Ruixue didn't want to talk to him anymore and was about to close the door.

The coachman quickly pressed against the door and refused to close it for her.

"What are you doing? You are trying to steal money in broad daylight. Whether you go back or not has nothing to do with me. I rent a bullock cart in the village. For this price, I will give you an extra penny. Don't be dissatisfied." Ruixue was furious.

"What does the bullock cart in your village have to do with me? The price of renting an bullock cart for two round trips in the town is this. You give me the remaining copper coins, otherwise I will stay at your house and never leave. What are you doing to bully us poor people?" Right? Believe it or not, I will go to the county government to sue you."

The driver also got angry.

The two started arguing.

The villagers who were watching the excitement have not dispersed yet.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw another play going on in front of Bai Lizheng's house. Everyone took out stools from nowhere and sat across from them, watching. More than a dozen people gathered around and pointed.

Bai Ruixue's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Shut up! What are you doing-" At this moment, Bai Lizheng came over.

He was wearing a coat, and it looked like he had just gotten out of bed.

"This man didn't pay me to ride in the bullock cart. He only gave me three cash for the ten cash he agreed to. Isn't this a clear way to bully us poor people?" The driver didn't care who Bai Lizheng was, so he complained.

But he sued the right person.

Hearing this, Bai Lizheng was so ashamed that he panicked.

"I'll give you two more coins. Go back quickly, otherwise it will be dark and the road will be difficult to walk. My little girl is not sensible. There is something wrong with her, she is sick! Don't be as knowledgeable as her." Bai Li was taking something from his coat pocket. He took out nine coins and stuffed them into the coachman's hand, then pointed at his brain and said to the coachman.

"Oh, so you are her father? Thank you for your money. Let's forget about it. I'm leaving. It's really strange how such a polite elder could teach such a thing." The coachman collected the coins and Got on the bullock cart.

As he left, he muttered something under his breath.

These words made Bai Lizheng's face darken.
