Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 818 Can’t agree

 The next few days were also busy with New Year greetings and visiting relatives.

As in previous years, there were no relatives to leave at home. Bai Shitang and Su Mulan only went to the Lu family to pay New Year greetings to Wan Pengyun and others.

As for the children, in addition to visiting the homes of the elders in the village to pay New Year greetings, they also need to visit the homes of their teachers and classmates and friends.

Especially this year, Bai Mi Dou went to the homes of several gentlemen to pay a visit.

Bai Zhuye also went to Grandma Qin’s home specifically.

Bai Lixia went to the Gu family to pay New Year's greetings to Gu Xiuwen and Gu Yunxi.

Only Bai Zhuye couldn't go to pay New Year's greetings because Fucheng was really far away, so he could only ask shopkeeper Liao in Fucheng to walk around first, and wait until he returned to Hongyun Tower after the New Year, and then give them to his master and senior brothers and sisters one by one. Have a good old age.

 The rest of the time, several children either gathered together to see who had fun this year, or they ran around and played wildly in the village with the boys who they didn't often meet and who had played well in the past.

Bai Shitang and Su Mulan saw it and their eyes narrowed with smiles.

 When you are studying, study in a down-to-earth manner, and when you are playing, play happily.

Especially since it is the New Year, it is best to let the children forget about their responsibilities and make progress first, and go have a good time.

 In a blink of an eye, it’s the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

 Pan Liangjin arrived just after breakfast.

 When I came, I brought a box with me.

 It’s not a big box, it’s about one foot square, but it’s heavy.

 Open it and take a look. There are some gold ingots and silver ingots inside. It seems that they are all newly minted. They are very dazzling under the sun.

In addition, there are several pieces of jade that look to be of very high quality and are not carved, as well as a few thin pieces of paper.

“These are two houses with two entrances and two shops in the county. The houses are as big as two at home, and the shops are no smaller than Linglong Pavilion.”

“There are also these two, each of which is one hundred acres of dry land and paddy field. They are both fertile fields, and the annual income is not small.”

After Pan Liangjin counted all the things in the wooden box, he pushed the wooden box in front of Bai Shitang. "These things, in total, are worth some money. Fourth brother, please accept them."

 Bai Shitang didn't look at the box, but looked at Pan Liangjin, raising his eyebrows slightly, "They say no reward will be given for no merit. I wonder why my second brother suddenly gave me these things?"

“Since my fourth brother joined the Chamber of Commerce, he has devoted himself to the Chamber of Commerce and made many contributions. Naturally, he deserves these.”

Seeing Pan Liangjin say this, Bai Shitang smiled slightly, "Second brother, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

“My fourth brother has always been an upright person. Since my fourth brother asks this question, I won’t beat around the bush.”

Pan Liangjin chuckled, "I originally organized this chamber of commerce with my eldest brother and third brother. The fourth brother is also a latecomer after all. Although the eldest brother has always praised the fourth brother for his outstanding ability, in the end, the fourth brother is just the icing on the cake. "

“Now that the fourth brother has resigned from the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, he is willing to stay at home with his wife and children. I also hope that the fourth brother can maintain his original intention in the future and not go back on his word and lose his face.”

"The fourth brother has also worked hard for the Chamber of Commerce and has achieved many achievements. The Chamber of Commerce will naturally not treat the fourth brother lightly. These things can be regarded as a reward for the fourth brother's contribution in the past few years. The fourth brother has collected them and will keep them for his children in the future. Or it would be good to do more business of your own. ”

 Bai Shitang took a sip of tea.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when he and Su Mulan went to the Lu family to pay New Year's greetings to Wan Pengyun and others, Wan Pengyun didn't say much, but she kept patting him on the shoulder and sighing, and said, "It would be nice if the fourth brother was here." ", and "The fourth brother really plans to stay at home all the time." From the looks of it, Pan Liangjin came here to use these things to block his mouth so that he would not agree to Wan Pengyun's request for him to return to the Chamber of Commerce.

“I understand what second brother means, but...”

 Bai Shitang pushed the box back and looked at Pan Liangjin with bright eyes, "It's just that I can't accept this thing. I'm afraid I can't agree to this matter, second brother."

"Oh?" Pan Liangjin's face darkened visibly, "It seems that the fourth brother has a lot of ideas about the Chamber of Commerce."

“So the so-called resignation before was just for others to see. Now you just want to take back the water that was thrown out and slap yourself in the face?”

“If that’s true, it would be an eye-opener for me.”

"I don't accept this thing because when I resigned and left the Chamber of Commerce, my eldest brother gave me a sum of money, which is enough for me to support my family. There is no reason to accept anything from my second brother at this time."

Bai Shitang's face was as dark as water, "In addition, I am resigning from all positions in the Chamber of Commerce at this time, but the eldest brother and the third brother are kind to me. If there is any need for my help in the future, I will never refuse. If you should As for the second brother, if the eldest brother and the third brother have something to do in the future, if I can only stand by and watch, it will be heartless and unjust. "

“Oh, what the fourth brother said is really nice. The so-called not being able to refuse is just leaving a way out for myself..."

“If second brother thinks so, then I won’t say more.”

 Bai Shitang interrupted Pan Liangjin, "As the saying goes, there is no need to speculate. Since everything I do has ulterior motives in the eyes of the second brother, then I don't need to say anything more to the second brother."

“Second brother, if you have nothing else to do, please come back.”

 After saying that, Bai Shitang picked up the teacup on the table.

 Serving tea to see guests off means driving them away.

Pan Liangjin gritted his teeth and said angrily, "No matter how well you hide yourself, the fox will eventually reveal its tail. Let's just wait and see. One day I will be able to catch you."

 Let everyone know your true face and drive you out of the Chamber of Commerce completely!

"Then I'll wait and see." Bai Shitang glanced at Pan Liangjin, who was furious, jumped up from his stool, and paced back and forth a little irritably, and said slowly.

"Okay." Pan Liangjin almost squeezed out the word through his teeth, then his face became gloomy, his hands were clasped behind his back, and he walked out.

When he reached the door, he turned back, picked up the wooden box he had brought, and left quickly.

When the neighing of horses and the clatter of distant horse hooves came from outside the door, Bai Shitang put down the tea cup in his hand.

Su Mulan came to clean up the tea on the table that Pan Liangjin had not touched until now. The tea had already cooled down and he also added some new tea to Baishitang.

Looking at Bai Shitang's slightly unnatural expression, he sighed slightly.

She could imagine that the years when Bai Shitang lost his memory and left home must have been very difficult, but she never expected that it would be so difficult.

Comparing the two people, Su Mulan felt that she was more physically tired because she had to make money to support her family.

 Here at Shiraishi Hall, the mental fatigue is a bit more severe.
