Chapter 20 In-laws come to the door
Bai Naoer's voice was stunned by the son-in-law. But then he realized that Bai Naoer had given up. He called out the son-in-law first. Li Mu would not be too merciless when he saw Bai Qiaoqiao's face. Li Mu was actually willing to give Bai Naoer a chance, but seeing how he was like this, he felt boring, so he saved this step and said expressionlessly: "Okay, you'll lose enough embarrassment, let's go!"
Bai Naoer didn't dare to say anything, and silently lowered her head and followed him out. However, Bai Gensheng saw that Li Mu was not at all, patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said, "Li Dalang, I know that you will become my brother-in-law sooner or later!"
Li Mu glanced at him without saying a word. The memory retained in his mind told him that the original Li Mu had a good relationship with Bai Gensheng, and although he was not very close, Bai Gensheng helped when Li Mu was bullied. Although he was for Bai Qiaoqiao's sake, he was one of the few people in the Bai family who had expressed their affection for Li Mu.
Bai Gensheng has some problems with his head. He is too straightforward and has a very simple mind. He never thinks about things in a complicated way. He is not very careful. This is completely contrary to Bai Naoer. Although Bai Naoer wanted to marry Bai Qiaoqiao out to marry him to marry his wife, Bai Gensheng opposed Bai Naoer doing this more than once. But he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and could not affect Bai Naoer's decision.
Li Mu came out of the yamen with two people, helped the Bai family and son to get their ox carts back at the door, rode on the horse, walked in front of him, and didn't even greet them. Seeing this, Bai Gensheng was about to shout, but Bai Naoer pulled him away and whispered: "Just keep up, this is the gate of the yamen, why are you calling? You're going to catch up again! Let me tell you, Li Dalang is no longer the original Li Dalang. He is now the county magistrate and an official, so he dare not do whatever he wants!"
Bai Gensheng nodded in a daze, as if he had understood it, but he seemed to have not understood it. Anyway, he would listen to whatever Bai Naoer had, and he had been like this since he was a child. He helped Bai Naoer climb onto the ox cart, sat on the shaft of the cart, whipped his whip to drive the cart, and stood behind Li Mu not far or near. He followed him to Nan Street and arrived at the door of Li Mu's house. The father and the father got out of the cart and followed Li Mu into the yard together.
The shop in Li Mu's house is one of the best in the entire South Street. After returning from the construction site these days, it was early, and Li Mu repaired and strengthened it. Not to mention the new look, it was not much different. Compared with Bai Naoer's shop in Mayi County, it was several times larger. When Bai Naoer entered the door, his little eyes looked around and silently estimated the price of the shop in his heart. He didn't know the land price in Dingxiang City, but if measured by the land price in Mayi County, it would be absolutely impossible to buy the two courtyards in front and behind the shop without twenty cents of money.
It seems that Li Mu is really developed, otherwise he would not have made the money!
While he was ignoring, Bai Naoer smelled the smell of meat. He was just anxious and didn't eat a steamed bun. His stomach was already roaring. When he smelled the meat, his saliva couldn't stop rushing out and swallowing. Bai Gensheng couldn't resist. Although he had gnawed several steamed buns, after smelling the meat, the steamed bun seemed to be eating. Bai Naoer also forgot his warning and shouted in a loud voice: "Sister, are you stewed meat? Give me a bowl of it, I'm hungry!"
Bai Qiaoqiao was serving dishes on the stove. When she heard the sound, her hand trembled and almost poured the meat on the ground. Sun saw it from the side, reached out to help her and said, "It's not an outsider, why are you nervous? With today's things, your father will also restrain himself and will not treat you like before."
Bai Qiaoqiao nodded gently and came out of the kitchen with a full pot of stewed meat. Bai Gensheng reached out and wanted to take it, but Bai Naoer grabbed his arm. When the father and daughter met, Bai Naoer was a little embarrassed. He also knew that as a father, he had many wrong things to treat his daughter over the years, but he didn't think he was wrong.
Bai Qiaoqiao is a daughter. She will sooner or later pour water from her daughter. She has to rely on her son for retirement. He feels that there is nothing wrong with favoring her son, and others do the same. Besides, Bai Qiaoqiao's mother is gone, and now she lives with him is Bai Gensheng's mother. In Bai Naoer's heart, the three of them are a family. Bai Qiaoqiao is just a redundant person at this price. If she can marry her to a good family and a rich family, it will be a good home for her. She can also exchange more money and find a good wife for her son. This is the best of both worlds in Bai Naoer's opinion.
He never thought that one day he would expect his daughter, especially like today, to fall into the hands of the stupid boy from the Li family he looked down upon the most, and to expect him to come out of the yamen. Now when he saw Bai Qiaoqiao, Bai Naoer felt mixed feelings, and the taste was hard to explain.
But he knew one thing, that is, he must not let Li Mu go, and must hold him tightly. He is now an official, a county magistrate, except for the county magistrate, he is the greatest. Although he doesn't know how powerful the county magistrate in Dingxiang has, he has seen the county magistrate in Mayi, and his temperament and glory are so envious. He can't even talk to others, so he can only look at the carriage from a distance. If he gets closer, he will be scolded by the yamen runners. Not to mention that Li Mu has already taken the thigh of General Li Jing's son, which is much more important than his identity as a county magistrate. Therefore, although he feels embarrassed and can't put it down, Bai Naoer still grits his teeth and admits it and speaks to Bai Qiaoqiao first.
"Father, daughter, are you doing well?"
"I'm living a good life, better than when I was at home." Bai Qiaoqiao put down the basin and turned back to the kitchen. Her eyes were slightly red, and she couldn't say anything. She was relaxed and felt lost, and she inexplicably remembered her mother.
Bai Naoer was left aside by her daughter, very embarrassed. He didn't dare to talk to Li Mu, so he had to bite the bullet and talk to Sun, saying, "My mother-in-law, how are you doing in the near future?"
Sun couldn't stand Bai Naoer the most, but for Bai Qiaoqiao's sake, he still held back and didn't show his face, saying, "My son has become an official, and his life is naturally better than before. But you are willing to call him in-laws?"
"Oh..." Bai Naoer felt extremely embarrassed when he heard this, and raised his hand to slap himself in the face, begging for forgiveness: "Don't mention these words again. I am an old bastard. I have no eyes and can't tell you the son-in-law and a talented man. I have a lot of mother-in-law. I forgive you for a while. If I have any dispatch in the future, I will never say anything. I am a cow and a horse."
