449 Bottomless Pit

Liu Shi was anxious: "Mother, you are in charge of our family. How can I have any money? I don't even have a single coin."

Mrs. Bai snorted coldly: "You don't have it, do I have it? Do you have any money left in my box?"

Of course, Mrs. Liu knew it. The little silver left in the box had already been taken out to treat Da Zhu's injuries. Now they were poor, and there was only the last string of copper coins left.

But Xiaofeng's tuition is five coins, and that string of copper coins is not a big deal.

"Mother, then you have to think of a way, but you can't let Xiaofeng come back like this. If he does come back, aren't all the books he read in the past for nothing?"

The old lady Bai finally opened her eyes and stared at Liu Shi's face coldly: "I want to do something? What do I want to do? You are his mother, shouldn't you think of this way? Now remember that I am the boss. People? When you stole the rice from your second child to make porridge, do you remember that my old woman is the family member and you have to give me the first bowl? Do you remember? When you ask for money, you remember my old woman? What is it to be my old woman? ?"

She always remembers this matter, never forgets it for a moment, the more she thinks about it, the more angry she becomes. No conscience at all.

Liu Shi knew that this matter was not authentic, but it was useless to say anything now, it was already like this.

"Mother, it was our fault that day. Don't be angry. In the future, I promise that if we have any good things in the future, we will stick to you first."

Seeing that Mrs. Bai was silent, Mrs. Liu said again, "Actually, Xiaofeng said that day that Xiaofeng wanted to bring you a bowl first, but when you were about to go out, Pearl came knocking on the door. We were afraid that she would steal the porridge, so we just ate it first. It's better to be strong than to be taken away by her, that's why—"

She peeked at the old lady Bai, and seeing that her face was already loosened, she hurriedly continued: "Xiaofeng loves you the most, and he also said that in order to let him study, you have been frugal for so many years and suffered a lot. If you become a high-ranking official, I will definitely honor you well.”

The old lady Bai sat up from the bed and asked Liu, "Does he really say that?"

Liu Shi hurriedly nodded: "Of course, can I still lie about this? Go ask him if you don't believe me."

The old lady Bai, whose face was gloomy for several days, finally showed a little smile: "It's still Xiaofeng who is sensible, so I didn't hurt him in vain."

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "Mother, what about Xiaofeng's study?"

Mrs. Bai's brows wrinkled again: "What can I do? You know, my parents and I broke up with me more than ten years ago, and there is no way to borrow it if I want to go out. Otherwise, you can go to your parents' house. Ask and see if we can borrow some money first, and we will pay them back next year after we harvest."

Liu Shi immediately shook his head: "Mother, don't you know about my mother's family? If I go, let alone borrowing money from them, they will turn around and ask me to borrow money." A lazy elder brother, a gambler's second elder brother, A sick little brother, that family is a bottomless pit, and there is not enough money to fill it, can she borrow money? That is simply a fantasy!

Liu shi rolled her eyes and said to the old lady Bai: "Mother, I heard that Erzhu and the others have been working for Baizhi these two days. That girl has always been generous to the helpers. Erzhu's work can't be done for nothing, it's better to wait for them. Come back at night, let's ask them to borrow it?"
