Chapter 138 The toad wants to eat swan meat
Bai Taotao raised her head and said with a smile: "I thought I had nothing to do at home, so I came over to see if there are any wild vegetables to eat in the mountains."

Mrs. Chen Wang: "Next time, just tell your aunt what you want to eat, and it will be the same thing if she picks some for you."

Bai Taotao: "It's okay. I won't go into the mountains. I'll just find something at the foot of the mountain. My aunt digs wild vegetables and brings them home to make buns. How can I let you dig them home for me to eat?" "

Mrs. Chen Wang laughed: "What's wrong? Why can't you eat it?"

Afterwards, the two mothers picked wild vegetables together in the mountains, talking and laughing.

When Chen Wang stood up, she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking down the mountain.

"Why do I seem to see talent?"

When Bai Taotao heard this, she looked in the direction Wang Chen was looking at, "If it doesn't look like that, then it's him."

Mrs. Chen looked puzzled: "What is he doing here in the mountains? I just heard that he has just been able to get out of bed in the past two days, so he can't stop going up to the mountains to mess around."

Bai Taotao: "Isn't it just messing around? If he is like that, what can he achieve? I have no choice but to go down the mountain."

Mrs. Chen thought about it and said: "No, if he is like that, how can Mrs. Liu be willing to let him go up the mountain? Could it be that he is here for you?"

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen Wang gritted her teeth and clapped her hands and cursed: "Ah, what the hell? I don't even urinate on anything to look at myself, the toad wants to eat swan meat. Ah, damn. As soon as I can get out of bed, I want to do something bad again, Why don't God just accept this kind of person?"

Bai Taotao looked at Chen Wang's jumping and cursing in a funny way and said, "Okay, auntie, if you don't know what you are yelling and scolding, you think I am really being bullied."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen Wang stopped the urge to continue scolding, and then said to Bai Taotao: "Next time when you go out, don't be alone, you know? Otherwise, you can come to your aunt to accompany you. This Chen Youcai There must be nothing good in your stomach, you have to be more careful about him. "

Bai Taotao nodded: "Well, don't worry, uncle. I know what I know. I originally wanted Aunt Jin to go up the mountain with me today, but it happened that several caravans came to pick up goods in the afternoon, and Aunt Tan was not free. Aunt Jin I had to help look after the small bowl, so I thought I would just go to the mountains and dig some wild vegetables and then go back."

Mrs. Chen Wang: "Fortunately, you met me today. Otherwise, something bad would have happened. Even if you won't suffer a loss, you can't explain such a thing clearly to a man who is alone and wants to go down the mountain to spread rumors."

Bai Taotao nodded: "Yes. Auntie, have you finished digging? It's getting late after digging, so let's go down the mountain early."

"I've dug it, let's go, let's go down the mountain early. Remember, you can't go out alone next time." Chen Wang said, worried, and warned again.

Bai Taotao nodded.

Then the two of them carried their backpacks and continued walking down the mountain talking and laughing.

When they arrived at the entrance of the workshop, Bai Taotao and Chen Wang saw Chen Defu wandering in the wasteland below the workshop, and they walked over together again. "Uncle, why are you hanging around here?" Bai Taotao asked.

Chen Defu looked up at Bai Taotao and said with a smile: "Last time, didn't you suggest that we buy this wasteland and build a small shop? Then we can sell steamed buns or fast food in this shop, your auntie?" I have been selling steamed buns for just over a month now, and the business is okay, but the workers get tired of selling only steamed buns every day, so I thought it was time to buy this place and come here for a walk. Look. Wife-in-law Youyi, are you digging wild vegetables in the mountains?"

Bai Taotao: "I went around for a while when I had nothing to do at home. It's time to take action long ago, otherwise when others find out about this business opportunity and buy the land, you won't be able to buy this piece of wasteland if you want to buy it again."

Chen Defu nodded, but didn't know how to speak.

Bai Taotao saw that there was nothing she didn't understand, so she smiled and said, "If you have any difficulties here, uncle, just tell me, as a family, I will definitely help if I can."

Seeing Chen Defu's hesitant look, Chen Wang was anxious, so she had to speak herself: "That's it. You also know what happened before. Your uncle was not clear-headed and lent the money to the second house. Later, the money was I couldn’t ask for it back. After Yousheng started studying in Fucheng, I emptied all the money at home and only gave Yousheng 40 taels to take with him.”

"Now, in this family, it would be a bit tight to buy land to build this shop. So, we were thinking to see if we could borrow twenty taels of silver from you. Don't worry, the aunt is making money here. I'll pay you back the money as soon as possible. I won't be like that person who borrows it and doesn't pay it back."

When saying the latter sentence, Chen Wang specially glared at Chen Defu.

Fortunately, Chen Defu is sober now and has cut off all contact with him. Since he went back to ask for money but failed to get the money back, the two families have not said a word to each other until now.

Chen Defu no longer cared about the life and death there, and Chen Defu didn't care about the business there no matter whether Chen Deyi was seriously ill or not.

"Originally, I was thinking of waiting until I had money in my hands before buying the land, but as you just said, if someone else takes the lead, then our... don't worry, uncle has figured it out now. I have completely broken up with them, and whatever they do in the future will no longer have anything to do with me. Uncle, he is old and can no longer take care of himself. Now he just wants to take good care of his own affairs. When I am born and have a family, I will have the honor to go down to see my ancestors. As for them, just wait until I get there before I go to apologize to my ancestors."

Looking at her uncle, Bai Taotao didn't know what to say, so she said: "Is twenty taels enough? When Yousheng comes back from his study tour, he will have to pay the repair fee here again, and the auntie's little money from selling steamed buns You have to keep it in hand for turnover, and it doesn’t have much money. Auntie, come back with me later, and I’ll give you thirty taels for you to use first. If you don’t have enough, come and tell me.”

Bai Taotao originally thought that Chen Yousheng was just talking about it casually, but later when Bai Taotao heard the county magistrate talking about his son, he happened to say casually that the incident about Chen Yousheng's study tour was actually true. Chen Yousheng didn't want his family to raise money for it. He was asked to study abroad and was in debt, so he didn't sign up.

After Bai Taotao knew about this matter, how could he let him waste every opportunity to study abroad like this?

It has been said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Only by going out to see more, listen more, and learn more can we gain more knowledge.

It was a good idea to have this child. Even if his family couldn't afford so much money at the moment, she had thought that she would definitely help if she could.

However, Chen Defu did not ask her to borrow money later. Instead, he took out all his family's wealth and gave it to Chen Yousheng forty taels.

Chen Deyi's incident must have taught him a bloody lesson.
