Chapter 78: Requesting Foreign Aid
After leaving the Baijiayuan gate, Bai Yu did not go back to his own courtyard, but went directly to the village chief's house. It was winter and the New Year was approaching, so the village officials stopped going to the village committee and were all at home. The little guy pouted, his voice was muffled, "Sister, why didn't you let An An talk just now? They all bully you."
It turned out that the Bai family was scolding Bai Yu. The little guy couldn't stand Bai Yu being a little wronged and wanted to refute loudly, but was stopped by Bai Yu's eyes.
"I know you want to help me, but these people are elders. Although they are not very good, I still can't teach you to make you disrespect your elders when you can't completely distinguish between good and bad. Moreover, this is just a very small thing for me, and I don't care about it in my heart." Bai Yu looked at the little guy's innocent eyes and explained seriously.
The little guy slapped his mouth and fell back.
When she knocked on the gate of the village chief's courtyard, the village chief's wife asked, "Baiyu girl, what's wrong with coming today?" The village chief's wife was curious about Baiyu recently because Baiyu's packages were sent to the village committee first. From January to early February, Baiyu had received the packages for twenty years. She asked her how she knew, who said that she was the village chief, and she got the village committee to go around every day when she was fine. How could she not know about these? The village chief's wife's surname is Li, and she is from the same village as Baiyu's mother Li Lihua. Originally, Aunt Li thought that Baiyu would have lost her parents and life would be sad, but she didn't know what was going on. The days were getting wider and wider.
The countryside girls, little wives and old ladies like to chat about family and family without any problems, and everyone likes to talk about gossip. Aunt Li is not the exception. So, Bai Yu comes to the door, and she smiles, just wanting to gossip, either Bai Yu is thinking of something, or satisfying her curiosity to gossip.
"Auntie Li, is the village chief here? I'm asking him for something." Bai Yu saw her laughing enthusiastically and didn't ask, but just followed her into the yard.
"It's here, it's here. The head of the house, Bai Yu girl is here." He shouted to the central hall, then turned to Bai Yu and said, "Get into the house, it's cold outside."
As soon as he entered the central hall, Bai Yu put Bai Zi down. Now Bai Zian is 5 years old. Bai Yu is afraid of getting lost, so he usually doesn't hold him anymore, so as not to spoil him.
The kang in the village chief's house was hot and the room was warm. Village Chief Lin sat on a small stool with bamboo utensils in his hand. Seeing Bai Yu enter the house, he showed a kind smile, "Bai Yu girl is here, sit down, take Xiao Anan on the kang, the kang is warm." Village Chief Lin likes Bai Yu's siblings very much. As he thought, the two children had no father or mother, and the grandparents and uncles were not easy to meet, so the village had to take care of them. Unexpectedly, when the two children recovered from their sadness, they supported themselves, and became better and better, reducing the burden on the village. Because of this, and he liked the motivated children, Village Chief Lin welcomed them to the house very much.
Aunt Li also gave the two to the kang, poured a cup of hot water for each of them, and placed it on the kang table. When the four of them sat down, Village Chief Lin asked while circling the bamboo strips, "What's the matter with the Baiyu girl?"
"Uncle Village Chief, An An and I went to the old house today." Bai Yu said softly, holding the hot water, and her little face seemed to be blurred in the hot air. Village Chief Lin and Aunt Li knew the virtues of the people in the old house of Bai Family, and they couldn't help feeling sorry for the two children. Village Chief Lin asked angrily, "What's wrong with them? Let me tell me about Bai Yu girl."
"It's the pension money that my father promised to give every year when he was splitting up."
Before Bai Yu could finish her speech, Village Chief Lin interrupted angrily and stopped making up the dustpan. "This old man Bai, Old Man Bai is really shameless. He is not without a son. He can also care about his granddaughter's pension money, and he is not afraid of breaking his backbone. What exactly is said, Bai Yu girl, tell me carefully."
"As soon as I entered the door, my grandma took care of the things I wanted to buy in Kyoto, meat, New Year's gifts, and the prize money for the prize this time. I said that my parents were gone, I was not yet an adult, and my uncle and third uncle were all here, so it was not my turn to give the pension money. As a result, I came to the village chief. I would like to ask the village chief and several great masters in the village to help me mediate? If it doesn't matter whether the words are good or not, if one day my uncle and third uncle are gone, my grandparents will take care of my pension money, and I will definitely give it to you, and I will never say anything." Bai Yu told the matter without adding fuel to the oil and jealousy, and omitted the behavior of the whole family to beat and scold.
This is not because Bai Yu is kind enough to cover up the people in the old house of Bai's family, but because people's mentality is so strange. Sometimes the more miserable the victim says, the less trust the victim says. Instead, they can rely on the little things that the victim says, and only when they think about it makes them believe it.
"Whatever they give, it's not your turn to give it to them anymore. At that time, it was because your breasts almost starved you to death, and your father wanted to separate the family by leaving the house with nothing. He agreed to only pay for pension money and not care about anything else."
"Now your dad is gone, you two children, they don't give a bowl of rice or noodles. Why do you give them money for retirement? You go to the mountains to hunt and collect herbs before dawn. Is it easy to make some money? If it is easy, there are so many rough men in the village, why don't you go into the mountains? Who doesn't know the danger of entering the mountains? You are making money with your life, so you shouldn't give them a penny."
"The village chief will definitely handle this matter for you, don't worry." As he said that, Village Chief Lin stood up and patted the dust on his body, and said while walking out, "Baiyu girl will take her brother back. I will find a few great-grandfathers now, so I will guarantee to handle this matter. You don't have to go there anymore. Although you didn't say it, how can I not know? The family must have scolded you and beat you. Go back, don't worry if you don't go."
Sure enough, Village Chief Lin firmly believed that everyone in the Bai family must have beaten and scolded Bai Yu. Seeing that he was leaving quickly, Bai Yu led Bai Zi'an to chase him out, "Uncle Village Chief, then you and the great-grandfathers come to your house for dinner. I have nothing else to thank you, so I can only cook a meal."
"Depending on what you say, it's not easy for you to make money. Your great-grandfathers and I are not bad for you." As he said that, he waved his hand to signal Bai Yu to go home quickly, and he left in a hurry.
Having said that, although Uncle Bai San did not catch up with Bai Yu, he still watched Bai Yu go to the village chief's house. He hurried home and told everyone in the house. Old Mrs. Bai was always arrogant and curled her lips indifferently, "What are you afraid of? What's wrong with the village chief? Even if the King of Hell is here, I can't care about me asking my descendants to respect me. That little hoof, seeing that I don't look for an opportunity to teach her a lesson, I will live in vain to such a big age."
