The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply
Chapter 21 The Decline of the Great Family
At that time, Cheng Jiayu wanted to go to the county school, so he instigated the original owner to ask Uncle Bai, who was an official in the prefecture, for help. But he was rejected. Aunt Bai also tried hard to persuade the original owner that Cheng Jiayu was unreliable and how could he easily make a marriage contract? The clan leader should help to make the decision!
The result was that the original owner felt that her uncle and aunt looked down on her, her self-esteem was hurt, and they ended up parting on bad terms.
In contrast, when the original owner returned to the village, he persuaded Cheng Jiayu to study hard, pass the examination to become a scholar, and then go to the county school. Cheng Jiayu not only agreed readily, but also said that it was he who had made the original owner embarrassed and he would never let him down in the future!
The original owner was so moved that she became even more displeased with her uncle and aunt. However, Cheng Jiayu privately complained to the system that the system was unwilling to help with even such a small favor, and that the original owner would definitely not be worthy of his immense wealth in the future!
This also led to Cheng Jiayu running away after stealing the spiritual object and never returning to the village. A year later, the original owner went to Jishidiang to be an apprentice, and no one mentioned this verbal engagement anymore.
Later, the original owner learned medical skills in Jishidiang and saved some money, but unfortunately she was noticed by a fifty-year-old old official, who framed her, saying that she had prescribed the wrong medicine and killed someone, and even took her to see the official!
Jishidiang helped the original owner contact Uncle Bai in the capital city. Uncle Bai helped her win the lawsuit and advised her to go back to the village and find someone to marry. However, she felt that she could wait until Cheng Jiayu came to find her, so she refused Uncle Bai.
Later, it was her third aunt who lent her money and allowed her to go to the county town, where she opened a small clinic and became a female doctor. By that time, Cheng Jiayu had already taken part in the autumn examination, passed it, and entered the provincial school!
The original novel describes that when the successful Cheng Jiayu found out that she was waiting for him so devotedly at that time, she even cried!
Now it seems that the original owner's plot has never mentioned the Bai family again. It should be that the third uncle and the third aunt don't want to take care of this orphan girl from the side branch anymore? I'm afraid that the third uncle Bai already knew that Cheng Jiayu would not go back to find the original owner, and he was also disappointed with the original owner's love-brained behavior.
"Silly child, what are you thinking about? Did something go wrong at the banquet?" Liu looked at her nervously. Bai Zhaozhao was now the darling of the family, and her father-in-law had written a letter specifically asking for good treatment.
Bai Zhaozhao came back to his senses and smiled generously: "Don't worry, Uncle and Aunt, the banquet went smoothly. Something happened and I was just about to tell you about it."
"Oh?" Uncle Bai told Xiaoya to cook and said to Bai Zhaozhao, "Let's talk while we eat! We don't have so many rules in the Bai family."
"Yes, Zhaozhao!" Liu also said, "I have prepared a room for you, stay a few more days before leaving!"
"That's right, sister!" Bai Hao also interrupted, "Brother has moved to the utility room now!"
"Go away!" Liu glared at him. "What kind of storage room is this? I've tidied it up for you. Even if Zhao Zhao doesn't come to live here in the future, it won't be your room anymore!"
Bai Zhaozhao smiled. There were not many rooms in this small courtyard, and it was already very good that one could be temporarily vacated for her.
At the dinner table, Bai Zhaozhao calmly recounted how the county princess lost her temper at the banquet, how Zhang Ruolan almost fell into the water, and how Fang Jingyao plotted against her. The family of three were stunned.
After a long while, Uncle Bai spoke up: "The Fang family is finished!"
Bai Zhaozhao: “Ah?”
Uncle Bai explained: "The prefect is a diligent and good official, but he is not easy to bully. Moreover, the prefect's wife is from the Duke's Mansion, how could she allow someone to plot against her son?
Originally, the prefect was quite tolerant of the Fang family because they controlled most of the medicinal materials in Linyang. Now that they are doing this, they are definitely destroying their own future. The prefect will definitely suppress the Fang family!"
Liu also said: "They are also seeking wealth and honor at the risk of their own lives, right? Unfortunately, our Zhao Zhao is too smart and has exposed them."
Bai Hao said proudly: "They didn't think it was risky. If the Miss Fang didn't step on my sister in the end, wouldn't it be a success?"
That’s right, if Bai Zhaozhao wasn’t involved, the chances of successfully making the ointment that cures eczema famous would still be very high.
Bai Zhaozhao asked: "Uncle San, do you think Jishitang can replace the Fang family?"
Uncle Bai's eyes flashed with admiration: "Whether it can be done or not depends on how the Zhang family seizes the opportunity! The prefect must suppress one family while promoting another. There must be one family that occupies the top position in Linyang's medicinal materials trade!"
Bai Hao's eyes lit up: "If Jishitang opens all over Linyang County, our Bai family will also benefit. Sister, do you think we should sign the contract for a few more years?"
"No, brother!" Bai Zhaozhao laughed, "We can't always pin our hopes on others. The core industry of the Zhang family is the restaurant, which is deeply rooted. What if they cross the river and demolish the bridge after Jishiditang rises? What if they can't take over our workshop after it expands? There are always accidents that may happen, so it's best for us to renew the contract with the Zhang family every three years!"
"Not bad!" Uncle Bai praised, "I didn't expect Zhao Zhao to be so knowledgeable at such a young age!"
"Hehe, this is what the clan leader said!" Bai Zhaozhao felt that the third uncle and third aunt in the original book were just tools, but in fact, their family was very loving.
Bai Zhaozhao added: "Uncle San, I have saved some money and want to buy a small house in the capital city!"
"Nonsense!" Third Aunt scolded her, "How can a girl like you live alone? This city is not like the village!"
"Yes, sister! There are so many houses in this area. Which one do you like? I'll ask someone to renovate it!"
Uncle Bai also agreed, "If you think our yard is too small, I can find someone to open up the yard next door!"
Bai Zhaozhao was shocked: "Could it be that all the houses in this alley belong to the Bai family?"
Bai Hao: "That's right! Sister, don't you know?"
Bai Zhaozhao: How would I know where to go?
Afterwards, with Bai Hao's explanation, Bai Zhaozhao finally understood what a declining clan was!
The grandfather of the Bai clan leader was the most glorious of the Bai clan. He was promoted to one of the cabinet ministers! Later, due to the struggle for succession, he was afraid of being implicated, so he retired and returned to Linyang County to buy the house in this alley and became a rich man.
He even asked his sons to resign from their official positions, and that neither his sons nor his grandsons were allowed to serve as officials in the future!
None of his brothers were officials, so in order to avoid disaster, he forcibly sent them back to their ancestral home in Hexi Village.
It was also he who established the ancestral precept that daughters of the Bai family could not be concubines. This rule was perfectly enforced for more than ten years thereafter, and all those who disobeyed were expelled from the family!
After he passed away, the house here was only divided among his two legitimate sons, one was the father of the Bai clan leader, and the other was the father of the third and fourth clan elders, who are now the three legitimate branches of the Bai clan.
Bai Zhaozhao understood. In this case, half of this large abandoned house belongs to Chief Bai! Oh my god, I didn't expect the chief to be so low-key. How much would such a large piece of house land sell for?
