Chapter 193: Immediate difficulties
However, things were not as complicated as she thought . The words the two brothers said were exactly the same, there was no difference . It was a simple robbery . Bai Dazhu was beaten up to protect the silver coins . But in the end, the silver coins were still robbed… …
Old Lady Bai was dizzy, she felt like she could see stars . The 20 silver coins were robbed . The 20 silver coins were robbed, was the only thing kept repeating inside her head . She could no longer hear anything else .
When Bai Erzhu saw his aging mother like that, he hurriedly shouted: “Niang, don’t worry . There are still 10 silver coins left . ”
Old Lady Bai’s eyes brightly shined: “What did you say?”
Bai Erzhu explained: “Niang, the jade pendant was sold for 20 silver coins . Dage, let me carry the other 10 silver coins . The robbers had only taken away the 10 silver coins on him . At that time, I run away, naturally, the 10 silver coins with me were saved . ”
The old lady’s heart suddenly calmed down when she heard there were still 10 silver coins left . Fortunately, there were still 10!
Bai Dazhu quickly took out 10 silver coins and handed them to the old lady .
Old Lady Bai caught the silver coins tightly with her own two hands . She was afraid that the silver coins will grow legs and run away .
However, although she now has the silver coins in her hands, she was still sad . Those were 10 silver coins . She saved money for 10 years, but her savings didn’t even reach 10 silver coins . She felt like someone was cutting her heart with a knife into pieces .
Mrs . Liu was distressed because her husband was beaten like this . But what made her more distressed, was the fact that the 10 silver coins were robbed . In anger, she stood straight in the courtyard and yelled at him . She cursed at least 18th generations of their ancestors . But not only that, because she dragged Bai Dazhu inside the house .
Bai Dazhu pushed Mrs . Liu, who was acting crazy: “What are you doing?”
Mrs . Liu’s red eyes: “Husband, are you confused? You have been beaten like this, and you have been robbed of 10 silver coins . We have to hurry to report to the government officials . Maybe by then, we can catch those two robbers, and they will return our money?”
Bai Dazhu stared at his wife, and said with a bad tone: “This stupid woman, who do you think you are? In the middle of the night, you want to report I’ve been robbed . I don’t know those people, I didn’t see their face, but you want the government officials to search for them? Do you think that’s possible?”
Mrs . Zhang opened her mouth and said: “Last year, Uncle Zhong’s son was also robbed . Not only he was robbed but was also killed . The government officials just asked about the situation and then give up . They didn’t send any troops to look for the robbers . ”
Mrs . Liu stomped her feet: “What should we do? Just let it go?”
Bai Dazhu sighed: “If not, what else can we do? At least, those two didn’t kill me . If they did, what will you do?” At that time, he didn’t think of it . But now, after thinking about it, if those two pulled out a knife, will he still survive?
Bai Erzhuo said: “Sister-in-law, those robbers escaped, if we go out later we have to be careful . ”
Old Lady Bai was not listening at all to what they were saying . She was constantly calculating how she will spend the money inside her heart . After she gives the 6 silver coins to Doctor Lu, there are still 4 silver coins left . She doesn’t know the current price of rice now . And now, there were only 2 acres of paddy land they can harvest . How are they going to survive during winter? How is she going to pay Bai Xiaofeng’s tuition fee next year?
Not to mention, their family haven’t eaten the whole day . She was so hungry to the point that her limbs felt weak . The most important thing right now is to solve these immediate difficulties and eat something .
