“What? Double? Then, how much money do you need to buy a stone meter now?” Old Lady Bai asked anxiously.
Bai Dazhu shook his head: “I don’t know, I didn’t go to the town.”
Mrs. Liu immediately thinks of a plan: “Niang, don’t buy grains for now. Let’s go and borrow some grains first. Once the price has dropped, we will go and buy to the town.”
Mrs. Zhang sneered, this Mrs. Liu usually looked very smart. But in fact, she was the most brainless of them all. She also likes to act clever, so people will think she has abilities, but are all people stupid?
Bai Dazhu waved his hand. “Now that everyone in the village knows the price increased. Who will still lend us grains? I just met Aunt Liang, she’s urging us to quickly returned a bucket of grains that we borrowed.”
Bai Dazhu remembered another thing and said: “Oh right, just a moment ago, Old Si said that Bai Zhi and Hu Feng went to town and came back with cart pull of grains. They must have learned that the price of grain increased, so they bought a lot.”
“Cart pull of grains? How much is that?” Old Lady Bai looked distressed as if she was the one who spent the money.
Bai Dazhu shook his head: “I don’t know, but I’m sure they spent quite a lot. Although she has money now, she mustn’t spend so much. I bet Hu Changlin instigated her to buy a lot so that they could eat for a whole year round. His only problem now is to eat and drink.”
The more Old Lady Bai listened, the more she gets distressed. Those 100 silver coins that Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan received should have been their Bai Family’s money.
But now, those two, mother and child raising irrelevant people. How can she accept this?
Seeing the old lady’s face darken, Bai Dazhu busily asked: “Niang, what do you want to do?”
Old Lady Bai looked at their family’s empty cylinder and gritted her teeth: “Since she can raise the Hu Family, then she could also raise the Bai Family. Let’s go, let’s find her and ask for grains.”
Bai Dazhu immediately thought of Hu Feng, and quickly shook his head: “I don’t want to go, you go by yourself.”
Mrs. Zhang also said: “I will also not go.”
Old Lady Bai glared at Mrs. Zhang and shouted immediately to Bai Erzhu, who was lying in their room: “Erzhu, come and go with us.”
Although Bai Erzhu didn’t come out in the room, he heard the conversation outside. He clearly heard that his elder brother and wife said that they will not go. So naturally, he will also not go.
“Niang, my butt still hurt, and I don’t feel so good. Just go where you want to go, we can’t go with you.”
Old Lady Bai was not angry, she also didn’t say anything. However, Mrs. Liu took a deep breath and shouted: “Alright, you don’t want to go? Well, once we get back with grains, don’t even try eating with us.”
Mrs. Zhang calmly replied: “Ok, so it’s decided.” They want to go to Bai Zhi to get some grains? Bai Zhi will not let dogs bite them back.
Bai Dazhu was very dissatisfied and looked at Mrs. Zhang: “Second Sister-in-law, it’s very inconvenient for me to go because of my hands, but my brother doesn’t have problems, why don’t you two go with them?”
Mrs. Zhang turned and walked towards their room. But while walking, she said: “We don’t want to do useless stuff.”
As soon as Mrs. Zhang entered the room, she slammed the door shut.

Bai Erzhu got up and pulled Mrs. Zhang to the side, then whispered: “Do you think Niang and sister-in-law can get grains?”
Mrs. Zhang said with contempt: “If Zhao Lan is alone at home, maybe they can get at some point. But if Bai Zhi is also there, they absolutely will not get any. Believe it or not, they will be humiliated instead, okay?”
“What? Double? Then, how much money do you need to buy a stone meter now?” Old Lady Bai asked anxiously.
