Hunter's Little Sweet Wife

In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of March. It was also the day when the Bai Clan's four concubines would be handed over to the public.

In an ordinary village, as long as there were no branch houses, they would have to give the money they earned from each room to their parents for safekeeping at the end of the month or at the beginning.

On this day, the Bai Clan's fourth branch family gathered in the main house. Old Man Bai and Lady Wang sat in the center of the room and watched. A happy smile appeared on their gloomy faces.

The fourth branch of the Bai Family sat according to their seniority, with Bai Gaowen and the Zhang Family sitting to the left. Next to them were Bai Gaowu and the Feng Family, and in the middle sat Bai Gaozhong and the Shen Family.

"Ahem, all of you children have worked hard this month. You've all been busy with your own things in the past, especially Second Brother's family. They left for ten days to half a month. Father and Mother miss you guys very much, and they're worried about you as well."

Old Man Bai's words were full of sincerity. The children had grown up and now had their own families and children. All the houses were busy making money, so Old Man Bai, as their father, felt some heartache.

The fourth branch of the Bai Clan was somewhat moved when they heard the words of the old man.

"Boss, as the eldest brother, you have been helping the fellow in the field all day. You've worked hard." Old Man Bai looked at Bai Gaowen and said benevolently.

Bai Gaowen chuckled and said, "Dad, what's so hard about farming your own family?"

"Exactly, speaking of hard work, father and mother are the ones who have the hard work to do. Their hearts are filled with worry for our fourth child." Mrs Zhang was speaking kindly.

Old Man Bai and Lady Wang loved to listen to what Mrs. Zhang said. These words were meant for the listeners.

The old man looked at Bai Gaowu again, and his eyebrows twitched. He smiled and said, "Second brother, our house is a hard place for your family, and you have earned a lot of money …"

"Dad, look at what you're saying. We're just subservient people. We're only earning small amounts of money. We've only just had enough to live on, so how could we have that much money?" When Madam Feng heard the old man's voice change, she immediately cut him off and taunted him.

She glanced at Bai Ming, who was sitting next to Lady Wang, and said, "Speaking of which, besides Fourth Brother, who makes a lot of money from his business, our Third House is just a farmer, big brother, big sister-in-law, third brother, third sister, don't you think so?"

Even though Madam Feng was a shrewd person, she still knew about etiquette. Knowing that her elders speak, this junior cannot interrupt them. Now that she was able to say such words, she was obviously forced into a corner by Old Man Bai and Lady Wang.

Old Man Bai and Lady Wang's faces suddenly became unsightly. The main house laughed awkwardly and didn't say anything. On the side of the third house, Lady Shen wanted to say something, but her sleeve was pulled, but Bai Gaozhong stopped her.

Mistress Shen took a deep breath and lowered her head, not saying anything.

The others didn't say anything, while Madam Feng sat calmly.

Old Man Bai's face twitched. He wanted to say something, but he suppressed the anger in his heart and slowly said, "Second branch wife, you can't say that. As the saying goes, how can this business be so easy? There are quite a few people who lost money."

Feng Shi smiled mockingly but didn't say anything.

The old man looked at Bai Gaozhong's room and coughed, "San-er has a good skill at making vinegar. It's hard work going to the town to sell vinegar every day."

Old Man Bai seldom cared about Bai Gaozhong. Immediately, Bai Gaozhong's mood surged as he hurriedly shook his head, "Dad, I didn't work hard."

"Tonight, our family will have a good meal. Mother, go prepare some good food to properly reward our children." Old Man Bai changed the topic and directly ignored Bai Grandmaster as he said with a smile.

Mrs Wang quickly nodded. "Ai, alright, alright."

"Cough, in a while, we will go and buy vegetables for you. You two can hand over your money for this month."

As Bai Gaowen was the first wife to pay, he was naturally the first to pay. He paid more than two taels of silver and paid two taels of silver to Bai Gaowu in his turn.

Old Man Bai and Lady Wang looked at the two taels of silver. Dissatisfaction flashed in their eyes, but they did not say anything.

Bai Gaozhong was the most sincere. He had also paid two taels of silver, but that was most of the third branch's income this month.

The old man looked down at the seven taels of silver on the small square table. If he were to leave these in the other houses in the village, he would earn six taels of silver a month.

However, when he thought about the accounts owed to him by Bai Shang in the outside world, what could he do with six taels now?

Old Man Bai and Lady Wang didn't keep the money on the small square table as usual. Instead, they lit up a dry cigarette and started puffing.

Madam Feng opened her eyes. Looking at the expression of the old man, a "as expected" taunt flashed across her eyes.

Madam Shen is not a fool. Normally, the four of them have to pay every month. When had that old man and Lady Wang ever talked so much, even saying that all the kids worked hard and had a good meal together?

Usually, other than when Bai Grandmaster came back, old man Bai would give him some food to eat. When had a few rooms like theirs ever received such treatment?

On the other hand, Bai Gaozhong was too honest. He didn't notice these twists and turns and only thought that Old Man Bai and Lady Wang truly cared for him with a happy expression.

"Dad, mom, we'll pay this month's money as well. We still have other things to do in the room, so we'll be leaving first." The Feng Clan was the first to stand up, and was about to leave after saying this.

Bai Gaowu also stood up and was about to leave. Who knew that the old man would put down his pipe and say in a low voice, "Second room, sit down. Dad still has something to say."

Madam Feng curled her lips, gave a mocking smile, and sat down.

Smoke from the dry smoke shrouded the old man's face. He had been smoking ferociously and there was too much smoke that covered his face. No one knew what kind of expression he had.

He said, "Boss, Second Bro, Third Bro, you are both my parents' children, my parents have the same feelings for you, and Fourth Bro is also your biological younger brother. Now, you should all know that Fourth Bro has been tricked into doing business outside the clan, and has ended up owing an account. You are both my eldest brothers, so please do me a favor."

The first one whose expression changed was the Feng Family. She raised her eyes and glared at the white haired old man, mocking, "Father, what do you mean by this? "It can't be that he wants us to return the account that fourth brother owes, right?"

Mrs Wang quickly said, "Second branch wife, you are Fourth Sister's second sister-in-law. We are family."

"Oh, now we're in the same family. When Fourth Brother was making money doing business outside, why haven't I seen him giving out points to his brothers?"

Lady Wang's face trembled, gritting her teeth. "Fourth'er came back from the town. When has he not brought anything for you?"

Madam Feng sneered: "I forgot, every time Fourth Brother comes home, he always brings back some pastries. Unfortunately, no one in our Second House has ever had such a great time."

"Second brother's wife!" What are you saying? Are there any rules? " Old Man Bai knocked the table furiously with the stick of dry smoke.

"Boss, you're the eldest brother. Why don't you first show off?" The old man didn't wait for Lady Feng to speak and directly looked at Bai Gaowen.
