Chapter 144 Borrowing Rice
"What? Double it? Then, how much rice can you buy with that money?" Elder Bai was too anxious.
Bai Dazhu shook his head: "How do I know that, I didn't go to town."
Liu Shi hurriedly came up with an idea: "Mother, why don't we buy it first, and then go to someone's house to borrow some rice. After a while, the price of rice has dropped, and we can just buy it again."
Mrs. Zhang sneered, this Mrs. Liu usually looks very shrewd, but she is actually the most brainless. If she has no brains, she has no brains. She also likes to play some clever tricks to show her ability, and she also thinks that everyone else is a fool?
Bai Dazhu waved his hand, "Now that everyone in the village knows about this, who would lend us rice? I just met Aunt Liang, and she urged us to return a bucket of rice from their house as soon as possible."
Bai Dazhu thought of something again, and said hurriedly: "Oh, right, I just heard from the fourth child that Bai Zhi and Hu Feng went to the town today and brought back a truckload of rice noodles. I guess they also knew about the rise in rice prices, so they Bought more."
"A big car? How much does it cost?" The old lady Bai looked distressed, as if it was her money.
Bai Dazhu shook his head: "Then who knows, it must be a lot. Although she is rich now, she can't spend it like this. It must be that Hu Changlin instigated her to spend so much, so the Hu family can eat her. To eat and drink, it is enough not to buy rice for a year."
The more old lady Bai heard, the more distressed she felt. The one hundred taels of silver from Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan should have belonged to their Bai family.
Now she is taken by Bai Zhi to support those irrelevant people, how can she swallow this breath.
Seeing the hazy expression on the old lady's face, Bai Dazhu hurriedly asked, "Mother, what do you want to do?"
The old lady Bai looked down at the empty rice jar, and gritted her teeth: "Since she can support the Hu family, then our Bai family must also support her. Let's go and ask her for rice."
Bai Dazhu immediately thought of Hu Feng, and hurriedly shook his head: 'I'm not going, I'm going to go by yourself. ’
Mrs Zhang also said, "I'm not going either."
The old lady Bai glared at her, and then called to Er Zhu, who was lying in the room, "Er Zhu, rich and noble, go out and lie down with us."
Although Erzhu didn't come out in the room, he was very clear about the movement outside. The eldest brother and daughter-in-law said they wouldn't go, so naturally he couldn't go either.
"Mother, my butt still hurts, and the wealth is not good. Wherever you like to go, we can't go."
Mrs. Bai was very angry, but she didn't say anything. Mrs. Liu couldn't bear it. She said sharply, "Okay, you don't want to go to the second room, right? Well, we'll get the rice back later. Don't eat it."
Zhang Shi said coolly: "Okay, that's it." They still want to go to Baizhi's place to ask for rice? It's not bad for Angelica to let the dog bite them.
Bai Dazhu looked at Zhang Shi very dissatisfiedly: "I said brother and sister, I am inconvenient with these two hands, otherwise I will definitely go with them, and my brother and sister are not inconvenient, why not go?"
Mr. Zhang turned around, turned his back to Bai Dazhu and walked into his room, saying as he walked, "I just don't want to do useless things."
As soon as she entered the room, she slammed the door shut.
Erzhu got up, pulled Mrs Zhang aside, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think your mother and sister-in-law really want rice?"
Zhang Shi lightly snorted: "If only Zhao Lan was at home, maybe a little bit, but if Bai Zhi was also there, they would definitely not be able to get a grain of rice, and they would have to be humiliated by Bai Zhi, do you believe it?"
