Chapter 369: Joining the Army
To be more specific, the two acres of wheat that they collected, were almost done by him and Bai Fugui. But what was the result? When Mrs. Liu cooked the meal in the afternoon, she hides two bowls. She gave it to her two sons to eat at night. He and Bai Fugui were hungry at night because they didn’t have much to eat.
Why should he continue to live like this? There is no reason to continue.
Mrs. Liu became very anxious. She hurriedly pulled the old lady’s sleeve and winked. They shouldn’t separate from them. If they separate, who will do all the work inside and outside the house?
Mrs. Zhang was so happy that she almost jumped. She had been waiting for this moment for so long. She’s been waiting for the day that her husband completely opens his eyes. She’s been waiting for the day to be separated from the first branch of the family. And now, this day has come.
Old Lady Bai coldly snorted and said: “You want to separate? Wait until I die.”
Bai Erzhu also coldly snorted: “I will not do any work outside the house that isn’t our responsibility. My wife and daughter will also do the same.”
Mrs. Liu’s immediately said: “If you don’t work, then you don’t have the right to eat.”
Bai Erzhu coldly snorted: “You and your family didn’t do any work outside, but you have the right to eat? What? Are you saying that you are nobler than us?”
Bai Dazhu’s face was filled with anger. He glared at Bai Erzhu and said: “Erzhu, do you still have a conscience, why are you saying our family didn’t work? Didn’t Dabao help you harvest the wheat? Isn’t he part of our family?”
Bai Erzhu coldly sneer: “Dabao? Don’t you know your son very clear? Dabao help to work? Our family already cut 10 rows of wheat, but he hasn’t even cut half a row. Can you call that working?”
“If you don’t believe what I said, you can ask him yourself. I didn’t say a thing because we are family. But today, I understand everything, I have to make things clear. I take you as my family, but you don’t take me as a family.”
When the old lady saw that her second son was very angry, she tried to soften her voice: “Erzhu, how can you say this thing? Aren’t we getting alone just fine? How can you become like this so suddenly? Is there someone asking you to do this?” When she finished, Old Lady Bai looked at Mrs. Zhang. Her meaning was very obvious.
Old Lady Bai felt very strange, her second son was not the same as before. He no longer listens to her.
Bai Erzhu said: “Niang, you don’t need to stare at my wife. She didn’t say anything. I am not stupid. I also have a brain. Who is sincere, who is fake, I can tell them apart.”
He then stared at Bai Dazhu and coldly said: “If I am a family to you, how can you ask me to join the army? And not only me, but you’re also asking my son to go. If something went wrong, our family will be finished. Older brother, your family consist of three men, how come not a single of you will go? Fugui is the only son in our family. Not only that, my Fugui is not old enough, yet you wanted to cheat his age so that he could go? Your son’s life is important, but my son is not?”
Old Lady Bai busily said: “Past is past, stop talking about this. If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. No one is forcing you to go. We were just discussing it.” She had to press down first her anger to Bai Erzhu. Otherwise, he will separate from them and their family will scatter. Won’t the villagers laugh at her if that happened?
