Chapter 687: Lost Everything

Bai Laoer drove the ox cart and Zhao Yalang's mule cart, one after the other, and drove to the town.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the town government, they saw a fat old man standing at the gate. When he saw Zhao Yalang, he smiled and bowed to greet him.

Bai Yunxi was helped down the ox cart by his son, and Zhao Yalang introduced them to each other.

Squire Wang stared at Bai Yunxi and smiled and bowed,

"Mrs. Bai is polite. I received the news from Zhao Yalang yesterday and knew that he was a straightforward person. After seeing him today, my guess was true."

Knowing that the price was difficult to negotiate, he used a roundabout way to impress him. Such a mind is really smart.

I didn't expect that such a place in the countryside could raise such a person. It's really impressive.

"Squire Wang Liao Zan, please come here."

This fat squire, wearing a silk dress, looked like a land god.

After they met and greeted each other, they went into the town government office together, and Zhao Yalang led them to handle the transfer procedures.

To be honest, they were all acquaintances of the town government office, and the transfer went smoothly. According to the convention, they paid the money, got the white deed, and exchanged it for the red deed three days later.

After paying the commission, Bai Yunxi said goodbye to Zhao Yalang and Mr. Wang, and got on the ox cart to go home.

When passing by Baohe Hall, she saw a circle of people gathered at the door. The hall was bustling with people crying and roaring, making it like a vegetable market.

Even the streets were blocked for most of the time, and the ox carts could not pass.

Bai Yunxi frowned. Was this a medical dispute?

There were too many people watching the excitement, so Bai Yunxi told her son to drive carefully to avoid scratching people.

"Make way, be careful not to hit."

Bai Laoer held the reins and greeted the people around him while driving.

Bai Yunxi looked around Baohe Hall, which was full of people looking around, all of them were full of gossip, curious but not daring to get too close.

Bai Yunxi tilted his head and looked at the old lady near the ox cart,

"Sister-in-law, what happened to Baohe Hall?"

The old lady with the basket turned her head to look at Bai Yunxi, and whispered, "Baohe Hall is fine, but Zhao Bazi is in trouble. I heard that he has destroyed his offspring and asked Dr. Cheng for treatment."

Bai Yunxi: "..."

The old lady looked at Bai Yunxi's shocked expression and moved closer,

"If you say this is retribution, Zhao Bazi has done so many bad things in the town. He has eight concubines who were forced to marry him. I heard that he was preparing to marry a ninth concubine. He celebrated with a few friends at the restaurant in the evening, but he didn't expect something to happen."

"Ah? Was he beaten?" Bai Yunxi covered her mouth with a handkerchief, very curious.

"It's not that he was beaten, it should be considered that God couldn't bear it, and he was punished. Zhao Bazi fell into the ditch on his way back from drinking, and by chance he hit a stone and broke."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, another head came over and added mysteriously.

"Auntie, you are wrong. Hitting a stone is a small matter. The main thing is that he got stuck in a tree fork and got pierced."

Bai Yunxi listened to the excited tone of the two people, his eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Is Wenyou that girl so fierce?

Listening to the vivid whispers of several people, Bai Anyan, who was sitting in front, almost popped out of her eyes. She looked down and felt a chill in her crotch. She subconsciously clamped her legs together.

"Auntie, don't disbelieve me. I was close to Baohe Hall just now and heard a few words. The doctor said that the wound can only be bandaged, not the root of the offspring."

"Tsk tsk... The Zhao family has only one child, and this is considered to be extinct."

"It's not good. With so many concubines, it's estimated that a child born out of it would have been done a long time ago."

Bai Yunxi glanced at the noisy tone in Baohe Hall, shook her head, and urged the second son to drive home.

She would not join in this kind of excitement to avoid trouble.

It was not until they left the town that Bai Anyan put the reins on the cow's back and asked it to go home by itself.

Looking back at his mother's thoughtful expression, he asked the question in his heart,

"Mom, do you think Zhao Bazi will vent his anger on Chunhua?"

"Why do you ask this?"

Listening to the second son's tone, Bai Yunxi was stunned. Why would he care about Chunhua?

"Hey~, the Zhao family father and son are not good people at first glance. Zhao Bazi is disabled, and it happened the day before he married Chunhua. Whenever there is a similar situation, many people will think that the woman is unlucky for her husband."

Listening to the second son's explanation, Bai Yunxi was surprised, "The Zhao family father and son should not have time to think about this now. Seeking medical advice is what they should do."

As for whether they will think about it in the future, it is hard to say at the moment.

But the second son's thinking is not unreasonable. In this world, women are a vulnerable group and need to rely on men to live.

Once a man has bad luck and can't find a solution, even if it is to vent his anger, he will blame his bad luck on his partner.

Bai Anyan still felt uneasy after listening to his mother's explanation. The world is especially cruel to poor people. He has seen many cases of strong bullying.

"Mom, Chunhua is hiding in our house. If the Zhao family father and son know about it, will it implicate us?"

Listening to the second son's concerns, Bai Yunxi looked at him again and pondered for a moment,

"It's true that Zhao Li and his son are not good people. But if he wants to find someone to vent his anger, he has to see if the other party can afford to offend him... From the day Zhao Li brought people to our house to take over the house, the grudge between us was formed. "

In the past, that person might have dealt with them without hesitation, but now he really didn't dare.

Let alone Wenyou can go and greet their whole family, Xiaowu's title as a young scholar alone should make him wary. Now Xiaowu has also worshipped a famous teacher, and this matter has long been spread around.

No matter how domineering the Zhao family father and son are, they only rely on the power of Ma Xiangshen. They are just a hawk dog raised by the Ma family.

With Ma Xiangshen's snobbish eyes and his ability to change with the wind, how could he offend a risky person for a hawk dog?

At present, no matter from which angle, the Zhao family father and son dare not easily cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi looked at the second brother with a sad face and curled the corners of his lips.

"This is why I always want you to work hard. Only when you are strong, others will not dare to take action easily even if they hate you to the core."

Listening to his mother's reminder, Bai Anyan raised his head and nodded in agreement after a while.

"Mom is right. After my fifth brother passed the examination, our family is indeed more confident."

"Wait until Xiaowu passes the examination to become a juren, and we will be completely safe."

At the moment, they are just pretending to be powerful, and they are borrowing the light of the Zhang family. Only when Xiaowu passes the examination to become a juren can they completely suppress all the gentry and landlords around.

Juren belong to the reserve force and can wait for the appointment of officials. Under normal circumstances, no one is stupid enough to provoke the family of Juren.

Back then, Mr. Ma was willing to lend money to the old juren without interest, and he also wanted him to have more backers after he succeeded. Only when there is profit, will he throw a heavy bait.
