Under One: The Dragon's Wife

Chapter 411 Shameless

When we returned to Brother Baishuang's house, we didn't see Jiu'er. Baishuang was on the phone with his mobile phone, as if it was something about the store, and Bai Qingning was listening to music with headphones on.

I pulled Bai Qingning aside and asked, "Did you see a little black snake with horns on its head?"

Bai Qingning gave me a strange look: "What? How come there are horns on the snake's head? I didn't see it!"

Chang Chong and I looked at each other, and Chang Chong turned into a small white snake with the thickness of a thumb to look for Jiuer when there was no one outside. Bai Qingning looked outside: "Huh...? Where are they?"

I patted her on the shoulder: "Listen to your song carefully."

While waiting, there was a sudden movement in the attic. The movement was a bit loud, as if something had been knocked over.Bai Shuang's sister-in-law glanced upstairs and sat still. I asked, "What's going on upstairs? Why don't you go and see?"

I thought that if Bai Shuang's sister-in-law went up to see it, I would take the opportunity to go up with her, but she said, "Mice, otherwise what else would there be? Anyway, the family is poor and there is nothing they can ruin .”

I couldn't stand anymore, something must have happened to Jiu'er and Changchong, I said: "I saw a black snake running up the stairs just now, I'll go and have a look!" After finishing speaking, I climbed up the wooden stairs directly Going up, the stairs of Mrs. Baishuang’s house are the kind of wooden stairs used for repairing things in the countryside. The general structure is the kind with a long log on each side and a short log in the middle. Stepping on the air, even though it was fixed, I almost fell off.

Seeing that I was about to go upstairs, Bai Shuang's sister-in-law got up and shouted: "It's not spring yet, where did the snake come from? Are you blind? What do you want to do, little girl?"

At first she didn't keep up, but after thinking about it, she felt something was wrong, and then she followed up.

I followed the smell of incense and found a small room, which was in a mess, with incense ash scattered all over the floor, and a black earthen bowl for incense was also broken. "Earth bowl" is what we call it in my hometown. The bowls fired in the kiln in the past are dull in color and not good-looking. Now some retro restaurants also use this kind of bowls.

I saw a statue in the mess, it was golden, a mouse, wearing human clothes, a human body, a mouse head, and a tail, holding a gold ingot in its hand, what is the situation with this statue?I haven't seen it, and it's hard to make a conclusion. Chang Chong and Jiu'er are not here, and there is nothing in the statue, it's just a statue.But what is certain is that something must have happened here before I came up, otherwise it would not be like this.

Bai Shuang's sister-in-law saw the mess and screamed and rushed over to put the statue back in place, cursing, "You're a sinner...why didn't those damn rats knock off the roof of my house?!"

I went downstairs and said to Bai Shuang: "Their house has a statue of a mouse holding a gold ingot in its hand. I don't know what's going on now, so keep quiet and wait until my people come back to find out."

Bai Shuang nodded: "Where did they go?"

I paused and said, "They went upstairs just now, and the commotion upstairs must have something to do with them. There might be a fight. Don't panic, it's okay."

Bai Shuang was a little nervous. She didn't ask Chang Chong and Jiu'er how and when they went upstairs. She was very smart and knew what to ask and what not to ask, so she just knew what to do.

Bai Qingning is different from her mother, she asked me: "When did they go upstairs? I've been sitting here, why didn't I see it?"

Bai Shuang patted Bai Qingning: "Don't talk too much!"

After a while, Bai Shuang's sister-in-law came down: "What are you doing here today?!"

It is unlucky for the things offered at home to be 'ruined', and it is certain that Bai Shuang's sister-in-law will be angry. Even if she doesn't know that we did it, she will blame us.

In desperation, Bai Shuang lied: "Didn't I hear that Xiaojie is going to marry a wife? I want to ask if there are any shortcomings in your family."

Bai Shuang's sister-in-law looked a little better: "I don't need anything, I just need money. How much do you plan to give? You are a little strange today. I asked you for money before and you didn't give it, but now I deliver it to my door..."

Bai Shuang smiled and said: "Give what should be given, and of course not give what should not be given."

Her sister-in-law snorted coldly and said, "When should I give and when should I not? Your two older brothers, my own brother, are so upset at home that you are reluctant to give a penny! Now you have found out your conscience. Let me tell you, You just gave birth to a girl, and when she gets married in the future, all your money will be taken away by outsiders. Wouldn’t it be better to give it to your brother? Wouldn’t it be better to give it to your nephew? Don’t forget that your surname is Bai, From now on, your son-in-law will not have the surname Bai! Once your daughter gets married, she will belong to someone else's family!"

I'm convinced of this theory, no wonder they think it's justifiable to ask Bai Shuang for money. Their thinking is still at the time when men are superior to women, and they think that even if a woman is married, she still has to take care of her mother's family. Looking at my nephew, I really can't bear it...

Bai Qingning's temper was not as good as her mother's, and she immediately said: "Why should the money my mother earns be used to support your two families? Have you done anything for my mother? Has she relied on you all these years? What happened to giving birth to my daughter? Does it have anything to do with you? Shameless!"

Bai Shuang has been eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha all these years, and she has a very good heart, so she didn't get angry: "Xiao Ning, you can't talk to your aunt like this."

Bai Qingning was so angry that she ran out directly, and it started to rain lightly outside again, I was a little worried: "Is it okay for her to just go out like this?"

Bai Shuang said: "It's okay, she will come back later by herself, she is timid, and dare not go too far."

Bai Shuang's sister-in-law also sneered: "People who grew up in the city are different, they have a very bad temper, and dare to call me an elder, it's really uneducated!"

I sat down and asked, "Auntie, what is that offering in your family? I haven't seen it before. There is a mouse holding a gold ingot. What kind of god is that?"

Bai Shuang's sister-in-law's eyes were erratic: "Young people haven't seen many of them, and they are recruiting money. If the family is poor, why should I pay for this?"

She was obviously lying, and she was basically sure that it was their family who made the trouble.

About half an hour later, Baishuang's eldest brother came back, wearing a raincoat and muddy rain boots. He looked much older than Baishuang, but he was tall and strong.

When seeing us, Bai Shuang's eldest brother also had a cold face: "What kind of wind is blowing today?"

Bai Shuang's sister-in-law said with a smile: "Bai Shuang heard that our Xiaojie is going to marry a wife and came to give money, so don't make a bad face."
