Down-and-out Old Whitey

  "Alright, then I'll mention it to your uncle later. If he goes, bring your brother and sister along to play with you."

  Having received a satisfactory reply, Ji Junxi happily went to tell Yu Tong and his sister.

  Dai Mingquan and Bai Wenli walked out slowly after walking the dog, and Dai Junyi rushed into his arms.

  "Dad, Auntie promised that after this, Uncle would bring Brother and Sister to our home to play."

  Dai Mingquan smiled and hugged his son's head, the little guy had a bit of a guilty conscience, he was clear about it in his heart.

  "Okay, after we get home, wait for your brother and sister to come find you to play."

  Geng Mei picked some vegetables and fruits for her grandfather to take back.

  Bai Wengui's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing about Lao Lu and his family losing their fruit.

  "Ordinarily, the orchard is surrounded by a fence, and it's not easy to get in. It shouldn't be the work of a child. You go home and cook first, after you've eaten, I'll come back home to eat. We can't leave this place unattended."

  Several households in Baoguo Garden also sent more people, so the days were relatively stable, and there was no longer such a loss.

  Yu Saihe and Bai Haoran later let Bai Wenli take him to play at Di Mingquan's house once.

  Unexpectedly, when they returned, they saw Bai Wenyi waiting for the bus at the station with his luggage, looking haggard and disheveled. His original elegant and refined demeanor had disappeared, replaced by a stubbly beard and a face full of despair.

  "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

  Bai Wenyi slowly raised his head to look at Bai Wenli, his voice a bit hoarse as he shouted "Big brother..."

  Afterwards, he couldn't say a word and was plunged into a sorrowful mood.

  Bai Wenyi took a look at his emotions and felt that something was wrong, so he quickly got off the bus and pulled Bai Wenyi to ask him clearly.

  "Big brother, I..."

  The words of apology hadn't been spoken yet, but tears had already fallen.

  The situation that made his brother cry, Bai Wenguang analyzed in his mind for half a day, except for the child, it was Li Qian this woman, but his nephew was playing well with his grandfather. The problem lies with Li Qian.

  Some people's eyes turned red with anxiety, "Second brother, you'd better say it quickly, are you trying to scare our big brother to death? What's going on?"

  Bai Wenyi glanced at Bai Wenli and lowered his head, "Big brother, she's run away again."

  This sentence alone is enough to drive Bai Wengui and his siblings in the car crazy.

  It was just a guess before the rain, but she really didn't expect Li Qian to do such a thing. Her mother is still a person, taking their second uncle as an example, who came over that year and made trouble for them.

  Bai Wengui hugged his younger brother who was lowering his head and shedding tears, feeling a little heartache.

  "Second brother, what's up? Let's talk on the bus."

  This place isn't a good spot for talking either, so Bai Wenguang pulled his brother onto the car.

  "Alright, tell me slowly what happened after she left?"

  Bai Wengui didn't think that just because Li Qian walked away, his younger brother would become like this.

  "Sister, she opened the safe in our unit and took all the money inside..."

  As soon as he heard this, not only Bai Wengui but also Yu Ting got angry.

  "Second uncle, didn't I tell you that there shouldn't be too much cash in the safe? Have you reported to the police?"

  Yu Sai's words were like a string of firecrackers, one after another. Bai Wenyi lowered his head and didn't say a word.

  Bai Wengu sighed and asked, "Old Two, tell me, how much money did we lose? What does the unit say?"

  Bai Wenyi wiped away her tears, "Brother, I will pay back this money slowly in the future, yeah. I have already left my job."

  This sentence undoubtedly detonated the bomb and exploded the anger that Bai Wensheng had been suppressing all along.

  "You're stupid. You come back with the money, but what about Li Qian? Are you just going to let this smelly girl off so easily? It's too easy for her..."

  Bai Wengui was furious, no matter what kind of dirty words or other things he said, as long as it relieved his anger, he spouted them all out.

  Yu Ting is also angry, she's mad at Er Shu for not fighting back. They had clearly discussed it beforehand, so how could things have turned out like this?

  "Second uncle, how much money did she actually lose? I know she's your brother's mother, you can't bear to send her to prison."

  But have you thought about what to do afterwards? If the amount is huge, I'm afraid Haocen will really go with you to beg for food."

  Bai Wenyi let out a deep sigh, these past few days he himself didn't know how he had gotten through them, that kind of torment was even more intense and cruel than the first time.

  He almost wanted to die, but thinking of the young children at home who were still underage, he couldn't bear to let them face this world alone, so he barely managed to hold on.

  "Yu Sai, it's not my uncle's fault. The money was all deposited in the bank beforehand, but that day some customers came to buy goods and I didn't have time to deposit the money into the bank. Who would have thought it would turn out like this? However, our unit leader has a good relationship with me and gave me some leeway. I've already paid back the money with an IOU, and when I have more money, I'll slowly pay him back, so he won't report to the police."

  This speech can be considered as a general account of things.

  Bai Wengou furrowed his brow, feeling heartache for his brother at the same time, leaving only hatred for Li Qian this woman.

  Three times two times putting his brother in this situation, such a woman is to blame, if Li Qian were really in front of him, he would hate to take a knife and slaughter her.

  The silent car started, taking them back and forth.

  Bai Wenyi knew this was a sign that his brother was getting angry, at this time he had to say no regrets, some fake, but it's already like this, he can't choose again.

  "Sister, no matter what she says, she is still Haocen's biological mother. If the child finds out in the future that I sent his own mother to prison, I'm afraid he'll be heartbroken. Besides, I don't even know where she ran off to, and reporting her to the police won't have much effect either."

  Bai Haoran grasped Bai Wenyi's hand, "Second Uncle, don't worry, we're here for you. Wait till I grow up and earn money to help you pay it back, we've got time."

  Her nephew's words made her eyes suddenly warm, and tears slipped out again.

  Bai Wengui spoke up, "Second brother, don't think too much about this matter. With big brother around, you won't starve to death. But today, I have to say this: if you still have any dealings with that woman in the future, we are no longer brothers. Remember that."

  "Big brother, I've never done anything so humiliating in my life. Does she think the men of our White family are easy to bully?"

  Bai Wengong couldn't help but start scolding people again as he spoke.

  Yu Sai also saw Bai Wenli scold someone so bluntly for the first time, and it's likely that she was driven mad by Li Qian.

  But thinking about it, this second uncle really got what he deserved. He had said so much before, but didn't take any precautions and ended up suffering a loss. Only then did he realize that people's hearts are not as they used to be. She even felt that Bai Wenyi was too naive and romantic. That woman wasn't worth pitying even if she were cut into pieces.

  "Second uncle, what are you planning to do in the future? How will you pay back that money?"

  This white-clad figure hadn't thought it through either, and shook his head with a somewhat dull gaze.

  "I haven't figured out what to do next, these past few days I haven't had time to think about that, just wanting to quickly finish the aftermath..."

  Bai Wen had a hint of anger in his heart, so he drove faster than usual and soon arrived home.

  This time he didn't dare to take his brother back to the old man's place, if the old man knew about the second brother's affair, he would be so angry that he would get an internal injury, for the sake of his father's health, Bai Wenli took everyone back home.

  Geng Mei saw the car coming back and walked out with a smile to pick up the kids.

  Who would have thought that when I opened the car door, I saw my little uncle who was almost becoming an old man.

  "Second brother, what's wrong with you? You've been robbed!"

  Geng Mei never thought it would be Li Qian who did such a thing, even in her dreams.

  Bai Wenyi just smiled wryly and said, "Sister-in-law..."

  Then she choked back a sob, and seeing this scene, Geng Mei didn't dare to ask any more questions, fearing that she would bring out her younger uncle's tears.

  Bai Wenyi came over with a gloomy face to help Bai Wenxiang take down his luggage.

  Geng Mei got off the car with Yu Tong, her heart feeling a bit uneasy. Taking the child out for a spin and coming back in such a big rage, and how did Er Ge become like this? She didn't dare ask, but asking her daughter was always right.

  Yu Sai quietly approached Geng Mei's ear and briefly told her what had happened, "Mom, hurry up and make some light food, I think Second Uncle has indigestion and can't eat anything else. My brother and I will go to the water channel to see if we can catch some fish to make a soup for Second Uncle to drink, seeing him like this makes me feel heartbroken."

  Geng Mei sighed and said, "What's the point of all this? This little uncle always runs into trouble. I told you, nothing good ever comes from meeting Li Qian, that unlucky woman."

  "Go, Haoran, take your sister out and see if there are any fish. Catch two for mom to make a soup."

  Bai Haoran glanced at Bai Wenli and nodded understandingly, "You two be careful, brother will take care of sister."

  Geng Mei was uneasy and reminded her again from behind.

  Out of the house, Bai Haoran was a little emotional. "Sister, what should brother do in the future? This damn woman cheated on Second Uncle again."

  Yu Tong sighed, "Liang Bàn, brother, from now on, remember this: the person who falls down twice in the same place is a fool. Don't learn from your Second Uncle's example, for the sake of someone not worth it, he ended up like this. Who can you blame? From the root cause, it's his own fault. In the future, be smart for me, and discuss things with me before doing anything, don't act rashly."

  Bai Haoran still had some dissatisfaction, "I'm not like Second Uncle at all, I want to learn from Dad, and besides, I'm the big brother, you're the little sister, you have to listen to me."

  Yu Xi gave him a cold glance, "You've done wrong and I'm still listening to you. Let me tell you, so far, you haven't seen me do anything unreliable, so you should listen to me. When you're right, I'll listen to you, but that's up to you. If you want me to obey you, you have to show some credibility, otherwise, just listen to me."

  Yu Sai wrapped it around once, and Bai Haoran was wrapped silent. The two of them came to this side of the water ditch, there were fish in the ditch, but not many. Fortunately, Bai Haoran is a capable child, with him here, don't worry about not having fish soup to drink.
