Help
Bai Wenli knew that his sister's life was not easy, but it wasn't so simple to intervene in her family affairs. Not to mention the power of her husband's family, just the fact that she couldn't bear children made people gossip.
This is also the reason why he didn't intervene, he also hopes his older sister can be happy, at least now this brother-in-law is really good to his sister, according to his vision, his sister's conditions among the women in the compound are considered very good, the family background is good, and his sister doesn't have to suffer like other women.
"After a moment of contemplation, he said, 'Old Three, take Little Four over to take a look. Don't say anything else, you two just take a good look at how they treat Big Sister. If it's really unbearable for her, don't worry about Big Sister either, she still has brothers. As long as we have food, we can't lack her share. You guys remember what Mom said about taking good care of Big Sister, right?'"
The two brothers nodded vigorously, mentioning their deceased mother. Both of them looked gloomy. If their elderly lady was still around, it's likely that the sister's family wouldn't have dared to be so excessive.
"Big brother, don't worry, no matter how we pass by in the future, we will definitely take care of big sister."
While eating rice with a spoon, she listened to the conversation of several brothers. Although she didn't know what would happen in the future, at least their words today were quite admirable, and they were better than her uncle in her previous life who not only refused to help but also framed them father and daughter.
We've moved into a new home, the house was provided by the company, but to make life more comfortable, we still have to rely on ourselves to decorate it. There are only two laborers in our household, my wife and I. Some physically demanding tasks cannot be completed at once.
Bai Wengui went out for a walk and suddenly ten or so people arrived at home, all of whom were friends and childhood acquaintances he had made outside.
Now their home is lively, digging wells, helping to open vegetable fields, planting fruit trees, digging cellars, anyway a group of people are not idle, Yu Lin and his brother are young, but they can still do something, that is, help Geng Mei send boiled water to guests to drink.
"Wen Li, you should build another small house in this yard. On rainy days, it would be more convenient to burn coal or firewood. You can't put all these things at home, can you?"
"Go ahead, Brother Chui. Once we've finished with all this, we'll start building the house. In the future, when you're free, just come over and sit for a bit. Now that you know our address, it's more convenient for you to come and go."
At home, Ke Ren came to help, so Geng Mei had to prepare meals. Yu Tong sat on a small stool and helped peel onions and garlic, doing it quite skillfully.
The people who came to help couldn't help but rush to praise and flatter Bai Wenli.
"That's my biological daughter, how can she not understand? Look at her, I rarely see her cry. When she was young, unless she had wet herself, she would only cry out twice. It's good to have a daughter, it's less trouble..."
Bai Wengui was lavish with his affection for his own daughter, and others who heard this burst out laughing. "Bai Wengui, Bai Wengui, I didn't know you had a soft spot! Who would have thought that the fierce warrior of years past would be so doting on his daughter? It's really not easy!"
These people all met while Bai Wensheng was fighting and after a long time they all developed feelings for each other, so when speaking there aren't many taboos.
Bai Wengui also acknowledged this, "Yeah, I didn't think so either. When the little girl was first born, she was just a small, wrinkled ball of flesh. To be honest, I didn't have much feeling at the time. After all, we had already had a son before. But when I saw the child again after a year, she was a soft and delicate little ball of flesh. When she called me 'Dad', that feeling was really unbearable. I always felt like I owed this child something."
Everyone has discussed the matter of the White family before, and they all know that the mother was sent away by this good friend for a year. When everyone sympathized with the child, they could also understand the situation of this friend at that time.
"Ah, never mind, don't feel guilty about it. As long as you treat the child well from now on, that's what matters. Every family has some troubles. By the way, Wenli, what are your plans for next step? You've moved here, but this land hasn't been cultivated yet. You need to think of a way to make some money, don't you? Your sister-in-law doesn't have a job yet, and your second brother is getting married, that's quite a heavy burden on you."
"Ah, yeah. After my mom passed away, my dad almost never managed the household chores. I had to think of everything. Even for my second brother's marriage, I had to worry about it. I was thinking that I should go out and find some work to do while I'm not busy."
These people's families are not very wealthy either, so they can't help with other busy things. However, they still agree with Bai Wengong's idea of going out to work. I won't starve here, but there isn't much money either. The Bai family has three younger brothers to support and getting married is not a small expense.
Yu Sai watched Geng Mei stir-frying on the stove and was still a bit puzzled, why not use a kang? However, after turning around for a while, she finally figured it out. It turned out that the houses here were different from those in Northeast China. Although both had kangs, this side used stoves to heat the kang, which also drove the fire wall. In Northeast China, they simply used a single pot stove to heat the kang. If you consider the utilization of heat, this design is more reasonable. After all, it's quite cool here at night, not to mention how cold it gets in winter.
At noon, Geng Mei slaughtered one of the chickens brought from home and made a big plate of chicken and other dishes. Although simple, it was delicious enough that the old men eating it all praised it repeatedly. In Yu Tai's view, usually, every household raises chickens, but they rarely eat them themselves. They only get to eat chicken when guests come over, and the rest is left for the hens to lay eggs to sell for money. Nobody dares to eat them, so at this time of scarcity, being able to eat a meal of chicken was already a very good life.
Fortunately, their home was close to the river, and on the second day, the well began to produce water. After draining the well water, everyone built a well platform, and only then did they start building the house.
The house was very simple, just standing a few wooden pillars and building a room could be done, busy for two days, more than ten people finally helped Bai Wenli to get the house ready.
"Ah, this is what it's like to live a leisurely life at home. Once the fruit trees bear fruit, we can come over and enjoy them too."
After finishing their busy work, the crowd teased each other and Bai Wenli rushed to everyone with a bow "Brothers, let's have a good drink tonight. You've all been busy helping our family for two days, no need to say more, this friendship is remembered in my heart."
After moving to a new place, the situation at home seemed to have not changed much. The house next door had a new family move in, with a man named Jin De Cai, who was also from somewhere else. However, Rain looked at him and thought he seemed like the type of person who would be a gang leader, with a face full of scars, looking quite intimidating.
