Man Bao had a puzzled look on his face. Bai Erlang couldn't wait for Bai Shan to add some mystery to the atmosphere, and directly told Man Bao excitedly, "My cousin said it's not good for our two families to have a quarrel with my family, but my family just takes advantage of the situation."

The rudder makes people very unhappy, but my family is okay, after all, it has branched out, and we are far apart, so we can less miss the old friendship, Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, and interact with them."

"But Bai Shan can't do it." Bai Erlang glanced at Bai Shan, "The family tree of theirs is still in the hands of the family. The quarrel is too tense and it will harm Bai Shan's reputation, so it is better for my cousin to have a darker face.

Let Brother Zhou deal with it, we can vent our anger and it won't be so uncomfortable."

Man Bao said "Ah" blankly, "They're just pretending, but what can we get from them?"

"Then you will get a lot," Bai Shan glanced at Bai Erlang and said to Man Bao, "Brother Zhou wants to do business on the grassland, doesn't he? The medicinal materials, furs, cattle and sheep on the grassland are not so easy to harvest.

Yes, most of them have regular business trips. There are also places where they are sold. When the goods are small, it is nothing. When there is a lot of goods, not only the places where they are sold, but also the places where they are passed by may encounter trouble."

He said: "My family hardly does medicine or fur business, but my family is different. They have a wide range of interests and have many connections in this field."

In fact, to put it bluntly, our family wants to re-establish a good relationship with Bai Shan's group, but Mrs. Liu is not happy at the same time and cannot refuse forcefully.

After all, unlike Master Bai, Bai Shan's branch has been separated into a separate family tree. He is still under the control of the family.

And he hasn't grown up enough to compete with the family or leave the family directly.

The world attaches great importance to family. If his character in the family is not good, it will also affect his career in the future.

Therefore, Mrs. Liu was very cold towards people coming from her family. She always softened her words once she refused.

But this is not an option in the long run, especially if they come to visit so frequently, outsiders may think they are very close.

The ill will that was suppressed by the family and the family back then was still accumulated in her heart. Mrs. Liu didn't want to just let it go, so she thought about it and simply gave advice to Zhou Lang to contact them.

If her attitude here is even worse, the other party will naturally come to Zhou Lang to deal with her. Once they go back and forth, they will become familiar with each other, and some things will become easier to discuss.

Bai Shandao: "Grandma said, we can't stop them from taking advantage of us anyway. In this case, it's better to let Brother Zhou go. My family is of the same race as theirs, and some benefits are difficult to negotiate, but Brother Thursday is an outsider.

, if both parties cooperate, there will naturally be competition between them."

When Man Bao heard this, he immediately understood, "It turns out it was a plan."

Bai Erlang clapped his hands happily and said: "Well, I said it was a ploy, but you said it wasn't. I overheard this morning that my fifth uncle was speaking ill of you calmly. This

If it’s not a divorce plan, what is it?”

Bai Shandao: "This matter was planned by us. What kind of alienation plan is it?"

He turned to Man Bao and asked, "Are you going to get the red envelope or not?"

"Of course I'm going," Man Bao turned around and ran towards the west courtyard, shouting, "Wait a minute."

After a while, Man Bao brought Batou over and asked him, "What will your father's name be when I see you soon?"

"father!"

Man Bao nodded with satisfaction, feeling that he was a bit heavy, so he simply put it on the ground and held his little hand, "Let's go, let's walk. Remember to tell your dad that you miss him and are crying to find him, you know?"

?”

Batou, who was just over a year old, didn't know if he understood it. Anyway, he nodded his little head in agreement, then took his sister-in-law's hand and walked towards the front yard with his short legs.

Seeing that he was not walking very steadily, Bai Shan said, "Looking at how excited he is, it doesn't look like he is crying for his father at all."

Man Bao said nonchalantly: "My child, if you cry for a while, it's just an excuse. Otherwise, I'd be so old and still running to get red envelopes from others, how embarrassing it would be."

Bai Hengzheng and Zhou Lang were serving cups to Mingxue and others. When they looked up, they saw Bai Shan, Bai Cheng and a little girl coming in with a child.

Because he came for the red envelope, Man Bao first smiled sheepishly, then pushed Batou to Zhou Lang's feet and said: "Fourth brother, Batou is crying to find you."

Batou immediately hugged his father's thigh, raised his head and looked at his father happily, and shouted happily, "Dad——"

Zhou Lang said "Hey", put his son on his lap, and asked: "Where is your fourth sister-in-law?"

"Fourth sister-in-law is busy."

Bai Heng had come to his senses with an excitement. Who else in the Zhou family would call Zhou Lang the fourth brother?

Bai Heng immediately looked at Zhou Man with bright eyes, thought for a moment, stood up, saluted, and said with a smile: "Is this Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Lang then remembered that the three uncles and nephews of Bai Heng had not met Man Bao yet. He immediately introduced Bai Heng with a smile, "Yes, this is my little sister, Man Bao. This is Bai Shan's uncle.

Wu, you call him Uncle Bai Wu."

Man Bao quickly took a step back, bowed and saluted, and shouted: "Happy New Year to Uncle Bai Wu."

Bai Heng quickly stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to accept it, I don't dare to accept it. How dare I, a white man, accept the courtesy of Mr. Zhou?"

Man Bao said seriously: "Uncle Bai is too polite."

Zhou Lang's heart moved slightly, he thought of something, and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? You are Bai Shan's fifth uncle, that is, Man Bao's elder. An official is an official, and an elder is an elder. You must receive the gifts you deserve."

When Bai Heng heard this, he couldn't help but praise in his heart. Even though the Zhou family came from a poor family, they had a good tutor. This alone was better than many other families.

Man Bao saw that he was full of joy, so he smiled and saluted again. This time Bai Heng no longer stopped him, he touched his body...

Because I am coming to Zhou's house to pay New Year's greetings, there are three families living here, with many children, especially the children of the Zhou family, who have two generations of children.

So he prepared a lot of red envelopes.

But it's thicker...

Bai Heng touched it, took out a purse and gave it to Zhou Man, then pulled off a jade pendant from his waist and gave it to her. He said with a smile on his face: "This is the first time I met my niece-in-law. The meeting gift is a bit thin. Wait.

I’ll make it up for you later.”

Man Bao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Bai Shan and Zhou Lang.

Bai Shan nodded slightly at her, and Zhou Lang also said happily: "Why are you ashamed? You two are engaged, so you are not far behind from the same family. If Uncle Bai gives it to you, just keep it."

However, after thinking about it for a while, Zhou Lang felt that it was a pity that he could no longer call Bai Heng Brother Bai when he was drinking.

Man Bao then took it with both hands and said blessing to Bai Heng with a smile before leaving with Bai Shan and Baicheng.

Bai Heng persuaded him to stay and said, "Shanbao, don't Erlang and Mrs. Zhou stay and have a drink together?"

Manbao paused, glanced at Bai Shanhou and agreed with a smile, then sat down next to Xiang Mingxue. The servants immediately stepped forward to add bowls and chopsticks to them.

Man Bao asked: "Didn't you say there are two clan brothers? They are not here?"

Bai Heng smiled and said: "Erlang Sanlang is discussing homework with Dalang. I will ask Shanbao to introduce Mrs. Zhou later."
