Chapter 10 The first pot of gold!

Xie Yuzhuo asked someone to ask questions at the entrance of the village, and under the strange eyes of his neighbors, he found Bai Wei's house.

The courtyard door was open, and the wooden tables in the main hall were facing the courtyard door. Xie Yuzhuo saw Bai Wei at a glance.

Before he could enter the yard, Bai Wei spoke to Bai's father and mother, got up and came out, blocking the person at the entrance of the yard.

"How is the situation?"

Seeing that he looked serious and was carrying a paper bag in his hand, Bai Wei felt increasingly unsure.

"The situation is not very good." Xie Yuzhuo looked at Bai Wei apologetically.

Bai Wei moved the corners of her mouth, wanting to ask if it was a problem with the carving, or if her connections were limited and she could not let her go.

Her sculptures will never be wrong, that is the aesthetic issue?

The rice jar at home was at its bottom, and she urgently needed money. She wanted to say that the price was lower, but it was fine as long as she took it off.

"That grandson, relying on how much money he has, he bullied people too much!" Xie Yuzhuo was very excited, his face turned red, and he seemed to be angry. "Often the younger brother shouted, he would not talk about any kindness at the critical moment! Your carving piece is a bit bad and the carving is pretty good. Why should he say he only gives twenty taels? Unless you carve a two-foot-high Guanyin for him within a month and give it to his mother as a birthday gift, he can double the price and give you forty taels of silver! Is that a problem of silver? That's because the time he gave is too short and he can't carve it at all!"

Xie Yuzhuo is still indignant, "He... he is so humiliating. Am I the kind of person who bows for five dou of rice? He immediately agreed to him!"

Bai Wei kicked her up.

"Ao—"

Bai Wei looked at Xie Yuzhuo jumping on the spot with one foot coldly. She felt that she was a fool and she really believed in Xie Yuzhuo.

I even heard his bold words before and wanted to tell him that twenty taels did not matter, the price was pretty good.

After all, for her current situation, it is a huge sum of money and can solve the urgent problem.

"Give me fourteen taels."

"I'm planning for you. If you need money in urgent need of money, I'll take over the work for you. Although the jade carving piece is a bit difficult for a month, I... can help you with it." Xie Yuzhuo realized that something was wrong, so he quickly gave Bai Wei the money bag, with a smile on his face and said with a plea: "There are thirty-five taels of silver here, so I'll take five taels of hard work."

Bai Wei raised her thin eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, think about me like this."

"No, no, no, this is what I should do." Xie Yuzhuo waved his hand, not daring to take credit.

Bai Wei took the purse, counted fourteen taels of silver, and stuffed the rest to Xie Yuzhuo, "This is what you deserve. Whoever takes the jade carving will do it."

Xie Yuzhuo was about to cry, but he didn't expect that he would have to bear the weight of life that he could not bear, and almost shed tears of regret.

He was fascinated by money for a moment and was praised by others, so he took over the job. He woke up as soon as he took over it, and Bai Wei might not agree!

That's where the beginning scene came about.

"My sister Wei, you are kind and beautiful. You are so pitiful to me, an orphan without fathers or mother!" Xie Yuzhuo begged Bai Wei pitifully, and he almost knelt down for her.

Bai Wei will not take on work easily. Jade carving is a fine job. If you work hard for money, the carvings will be rough and smashing your own sign is not cost-effective.

Seeing that Bai Wei was indifferent, Xie Yuzhuo directly poked her weakness: "What can you do with 14 taels of silver? It's not enough to marry your brother's wife. Your sister-in-law's family wants twenty taels of betrothal gifts, and she also asks to build a new house. The jade Guanyin carved it out. You can not only marry Bai Meng, but also build a new house for him. A few days ago, Liu Juan asked your elder brother to tell her another marriage, begging your brother to save money to marry her. These days your brother dragged his injured leg to someone to carry sacks at the dock. How long will he take to marry a wife?"

He also learned a remarkable news that Bai Wei was Chen Yu’s wife, no wonder she took care of her so much!

I couldn't help but look at Bai Wei a few more times and found that her facial features were delicate and beautiful, but she was not white enough.

Xie Yuzhuo tskated. Chen Yu was very lucky. Why couldn't he find such a beautiful and capable wife?

When Bai Meng mentioned, Bai Wei was silent.

Xie Yuzhuo almost suffocated in this silence, his conscience was whipped, and he gave her the roast duck in his hand. "How about... we won't take this job?"

Bai Wei knew that the whole family was worried about Bai Meng's marriage. Liu Juan was seventeen years old and couldn't wait for Bai Meng for long.

The original body refused to leave the marriage, not only because Gu Shi'an was betrayal, but would make his neighbors laugh at him.

Because she waited for Gu Shi'an to pass the imperial examination, she was delayed and was considered a big girl in the village. She also had the reputation of being retired, so it was difficult to get married.

"Where is the jade material?"

"Ah?" Xie Yuzhuo was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously: "He pointed out that he wanted Xiuyan jade, and I still have to go and visit. Where is the best Xiuyan jade raw stone?"

Bai Wei clenched her fists and almost blew his dog's head!

The time to carve Jade Guanyin in one month is too short and a lot of time is required to be invested every day.

Now Xie Yuzhuo told her that Yuli had to be found temporarily!

"roll!"

"Hey..." Xie Yuzhuo stared at the roast duck in Bai Wei's hand, wanting to divide a duck leg.

Bai Wei tightened her face and did not give him a chance to explain, "You can't find jade materials tomorrow, whoever wants to take this job!"

Bang!

She threw the door up.

The depression that was wrapped in the chest was then exhaled.

"Click!"

A purse was thrown on the ground.

Bai Wei looked up and saw Xie Yuzhuo hanging on the earthen wall. She waved at her, "I feel at ease if you accept the money. The day after tomorrow...Oh!"

There was a dull "bang".

Bai Wei picked up a stone and smashed Xie Yuzhuo to the ground.

I clapped my hands and the breath that blocked my throat was completely unblocked.

Jiang kept paying attention to the movement outside. Seeing Bai Wei slamming the door and hitting someone with a stone, she couldn't sit still, so she hurried over and asked.

"Who is the young man who came just now?"

"He is Brother Shen's friend."

"Why don't you invite someone to sit at home?" Jiang attaches great importance to Chen Yu. She has always believed that Chen Yu saved Bai Wei Chongxi and was particularly grateful. "You offended someone, and it's not good for A Yu to have a gap with his friends."

Bai Wei thought of Xie Yuzhuo's style and walked into the room with Jiang's hand, "Mom, don't worry, he is a careless person and will not take it to heart."

If Xie Yuzhuo is not cured today, he might cause trouble for her next time.

Chen Yu has not been at home these days, so I am afraid he is doing things for Xie Yuzhuo.

Bai Wei frowned, his injuries were not healed yet!

Thinking about this, I feel that it was too light to start just now.

Jiang didn't ask any more questions.

Bai Wei put the roast duck on the table, divided it into five parts, and ate a little one for each person to taste the taste.

Bai Meng and Bai Li kept it, and they came back to eat tomorrow.

Jiang looked at the roast duck in the bowl, his eyelids twitched, and he became more and more worried.

No matter how crispy the duck meat is, it will be tasteless when eaten in your mouth.

After using dinner, Jiang cleaned up and went into the house and said to Bai's father: "Viwei said that the young man who came today is Ayu's friend. He brought us duck meat and gave us silver money. He is really a friend, how could she drive people away?"

Bai Qifu touched the carving knife in his hand and said nothing.

He knew that Jiang was worried that Bai Wei was doing things outside for money.

I couldn't help but remember the humiliation of Bai Qilu in the town a few days ago. The corners of my mouth were pressed down and the fog in my eyes was heavy.

People are poor and do not deserve to live.

But you can't die.

When he died, the house really collapsed.

In order to make the family live a good life, the children worked hard together.

He should live well and watch the day his family gets better.

"Girl is a sensible person. Don't be too careful, just sleep."

Bai Qifu put down the carving knife, took off his coat, and lay on the kang.

Jiang had something to do and couldn't sleep, so he simply took the rags he collected to do needlework. He took them to the town to sell them when he was in the market, and he could buy some food.

——

Bai Wei sat cross-legged on the bed and counted it carefully, and there were thirty-five taels of silver in total.

She planned to give him twenty taels of silver when Bai Meng came back tomorrow, let him go to the job and settle the life.

For the remaining fifteen taels, she left five taels of silver and bought some jade carving tools to work at home. The remaining ten taels were given to Jiang's family, so that she could improve the food at home.

When she carved the jade Guanyin, the silver she received was just enough to hold a banquet.

If there is any surplus, build a new house for Bai Meng.

Thinking of this, Bai Wei smiled on her face, as if she saw a beautiful life waving to them!

That night, even my dreams were sweet.

I woke up early in the morning and felt refreshed.

Bai Wei hummed a little song and opened the door and ran into Bai Meng head-on. In just a few days, he became darker and thinner. He was thinner, with a layer of green beard emerging from his chin. He was haggard and exhausted all over.

"Big Brother."

Bai Wei looked at Bai Meng's eyes covered with blood, suppressing her deep anger, and exuding helplessness to fight fate.

Bai Meng nodded, trying to squeeze out a smile on Bai Wei, but his cheek muscles were stiff and could not squeeze out at all.

He took out a handful of copper plates from his sleeves and gave them to Bai Wei, touched her head, and entered the room.

Bai Li rushed in from outside, watching Bai Wei holding a handful of copper plates, staring at Bai Meng's house in a daze.

He rushed up angrily, slapped her palm, and the copper plate rolled to the ground.
