Chapter 197 Borrowing Rice

Xiaofeng is the future of their Bai family. He will be a high-ranking official in the future. How can he starve him?

Mrs. Zhang, who was following behind Mrs. Liu, immediately rolled her eyes, thinking that your family Xiaofeng knew that he was hungry, but my family, Pearl and Fugui, didn't know they were hungry?

Mrs. Zhang didn't make a sound. It's not a good time to make a sound at this time. There is no rice at home, and the old lady has money in her hand. The old lady will always find a way to do this.

When she walked to a dilapidated old house, the old lady Bai suddenly stopped and turned to look at the faint lights in the house.

"It's rare that the uncle's family is willing to light a lamp." Mrs. Liu glanced at the yard following the eyes of old lady Bai.

Mrs. Bai said: "I heard that Bai Tie Niu went into the city to buy rice today, and I don't know how much. If I ask them to borrow some, I should be able to borrow it, right?"

Liu Shi smiled dryly: "Yes, it should be. Bai Tie Niu has to call you Second Aunt no matter what. If you ask him to borrow some rice, you will definitely be able to borrow it."

Zhang Shi said: "The eldest son of Bai Tie Niu fell and was injured last year. He asked you to borrow money to treat his injury, but you didn't borrow a word. Later, when their harvest was not good, they asked you to borrow rice, but you didn't seem to have borrowed it."

Mrs Zhang sighed and said again, "It's all over now, and I'm still thinking about borrowing rice. Who doesn't know that the price of rice in the city has doubled, and who would borrow rice at this time?"

Mrs. Liu glared at Mrs. Zhang and said displeasedly: "How do you know that it won't? Maybe the white iron ox is willing to borrow it for our mother's sake? You don't need to pour cold water here."

Mrs. Zhang didn't bother to say to them, "Whatever, I'll go back first. If you can borrow it, it's best. If you can't borrow it, buy it. Didn't you bring money?" After speaking, Mrs. Zhang turned around and left. After being hungry for a day, she really didn't have the strength to argue with them here. If there is no whereabouts of rice grains tomorrow, she has no choice but to take the two children back to her parents' home and pass this test first.

After Mrs Zhang left, Mrs Liu went to call the door.

It was Bai Tie Niu who opened the door. When he saw Liu Shi and Mrs. Bai, he immediately called an elder: "You? Is there something wrong?" This old woman has always looked down on their family. There is no contact anymore, even if they meet on the road, they never say hello. Those who know know that they are relatives, and those who don't know are still strangers.

The old lady forced a smile and said warmly to the white iron cow: "Iron cow, I heard that you went to the city to buy rice today?"

Bai Tie Niu nodded: "Yes, I can't open the pot at home. I went to the city to buy some and deal with it first. What are you asking about?"

The old lady laughed dryly, "That's right, today Dazhu also went into the city to buy rice, but on the way back, he met a robber who robbed the rice and silver, and even beat him to death, and now he's still lying on the bed and can't get off the ground. "

Bai Tie Niu raised his eyebrows: "So? What does this have to do with me?"

The old lady Bai smiled more and more embarrassedly: "It really has nothing to do with you, and we really have nothing to do, so we have the cheek to come to you to see if we can lend us some rice, and then we will harvest it after a while. I'll give you back the money with interest."

Bai Tie Niu suddenly laughed, and it made his back feel cold: "I said, Second Aunt, your problem of treating others as a fool has not changed until now? Do you think I am Bai Tie Niu and my parents? Do you know what the price of rice in the rice shop is today? I borrow the rice now, and I will pay it back in the fall? Do you think my white iron ox looks like a big head?"
