Village Chief Li refused. Although his second son left the village and couldn’t return every day. When he comes back, how can the two brothers live in harmony? They will fight, right?
When Village Chief Li refused, the first daughter-in-law began not to give the old couple a face. It didn’t take her a long time to find another house. And his eldest son and grandchildren moved to this new house. Except for eldest son and grandchildren occasional visit. This first daughter-in-law of him never came back again.
With the nature of this first daughter-in-law, if she learned that Awu and his family lived and eat in their house for free, then she might cause trouble.
Hu Changlin also understood the situation, he said: “Let’s not think about it first. Awu went to the construction site to help. When he came back, I will discuss this matter to him. If he agreed, he can also move today. With this, even if he can’t accompany his wife and daughter, he can have peace of mind.”
Bai Zhi took out 5 silver coins on her pouch and put it on Village Chief Li’s palm: “Li Bo, this is the money for Awu and his family’s food and rent. Please take care of them.”When Village Chief Li felt something on his palm, he looked at it and saw silver coins. Village Cheif Li quickly refused: “This is too much. Take it back quickly. I can’t take this.”
Bai Zhi pushed back Village Chief Li’s hand: “Li Bo, I know you are a good person and doesn’t care about worldly things outside. But, I don’t want you and Awu get into trouble just because of money. It’s not worth worrying.”
Village Chief Li understood her meaning, and so he could only sigh. Although this little girl was still young, she can understand things very well. She thinks meticulously, in a blink of an eye, she thought of the cause and effect.
Village Chief Li nodded his head: “Alright, then I will accept it. If that woman comes to our door and asks a question, I have a good reason to say.”
After things were settled. Awu learned about it as soon as he came back. The family of three hugged each other and cried.
“Miss Bai, you’ve been so kind to us, I, I really—”
Bai Zhi waved her hand and interrupted Awu’s words: “Awu, I help you because I’m expecting you to help me too, and not just remember and pay this saving grace with empty talk.”Awu wiped the tears on his face and smiled, then said: “Miss Bai, from now on, your business is my business too. Even if you want me to walk through the fire, I will not hesitate!”
Bai Zhi replied: “You, don’t speak like this in front of your wife and child. They might think that I will order you to murder someone or do arson.”
Awu laughed and scratched his head: “It’s just an analogy, just an analogy.”
Bai Zhi opened her mouth and said: “You stay and live in this village in the future. When I need a driver, you come over and give me a hand. When I go to the town, you also accompany me, then I will give you your salary. Anyway, you’ll earn more than what you can earn as carriage watcher in the town.”
Those words echoed inside Awu’s head. Such a good thing, he never dreams that he will live a stable life, have meals to eat and have a home to stay. He never expects such things. However, in a blink of an eye, those dreams came true.
