Old Lady Bai had thought about it many times. But, she couldn’t think of a better way. Her two daughter-in-law’s maternal family were not rich, she couldn’t count on them. Her own maternal family was also broke, she couldn’t ask for help. Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi have money, but she couldn’t control them. She couldn’t even borrow a single silver.

In the end, Old Lady Bai gritted her teeth and took the jade pendant on her neck. She was about to hand it over to Mrs. Liu, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhang: “Mother-in-law, I think it’s still better if a man will go. I’m afraid a woman going is not a good choice. Most of the time, if the pawnshop owner saw a female customer, he usually offer a lower price.”

Old Lady Bai replied: “Yes, we should let a man go, let Dazhu go.”

Mrs. Zhang secretly cursed Old Lady Bai. As long as it is about the good stuff, she will only think about Bai Dazhu. But, if it’s about work, she will think about Bai Erzhu. In the old lady’s eyes, is there a difference between Bai Erzhu and Bai Sanzhu? If she got money in her hand, she will think of a way how to kick out this family.

Mrs. Zhang swallowed her anger and smiled, then said: “Mother-in-law, two people going together is good than a single person. At least, they will look intimidating. If the pawnshop owner sees them, he might increase the offer by three points.”

Old Lady Bai thinks Mrs. Zhang’s opinion was reasonable, so she nodded her head: That’s reasonable, you let Dazhu and Erzhu go together. Those two brothers can take care of each other.”

Mrs. Liu was not happy. Well, originally, she was feeling happy inside her heart. Who can’t see how expensive that jade pendant is? If Bai Daizhu will go alone, he can hide a dozen or more silver coins. And then, he just needs to say he “lost” the money. Who will know how much exactly the jade pendant was sold?

If Bai Erzhu comes along, can he hide some money?

“Niang, we don’t need to send two people, it’s only a piece of jade. This jade pendant looks exquisite, but I don’t think the color looks good. It can be estimated that it only cost a few money. Also, do you really have to send two big men outside? We need a man to stay at home. What if  Lu Dafu came back with some people, what a few women like us can do?”

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: “Sister-in-law, you speak as if Lu Dafu is some kind of bandit or rogue. When did Lu Dafu cause people trouble? He only brought two officers, and those two officers didn’t hurt us. Besides, there is no treasure at home that can be rob.”

Old Lady Bai was the person who understands most of Mrs. Liu’s character. So, how can her small calculation didn’t come across her mind? Old Lady Bai squinted her eyes at Mrs. Liu and said: “You better not make calculations with me. Don’t speak another word, let Dazhu and Erzhu go together. Those two brothers can take care of themselves.”

Yes, she was biased to her first son’s family, but it is still up to her how they will divide their family’s property. And she prepares them relying on her than the other way around. Those two situations are completely different.

Mrs. Zhang stretched out her arm and took the jade pendant in the hands of the old lady. She smiled and said: “I am going to call First brother-in-law and Erzhu.”

When Mrs. Zhang turned and left, Mrs. Liu recovered her mind, then asked: “Niang, what do you mean by that? What am I calculating?”

Old Lady Bai coldly snorted: “Do you still need to ask? I only turned a blind to it, because I still want you to have some face. But, don’t try to fool this old woman again.”

Old Lady Bai has long been married. She also lived with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to the former house of the Bai Family. So, what else her eyes didn’t see?

As far as Mrs. Liu’s idea is concerned, she has already used them all in this life.

If she didn’t have a bit ability before, how can she take over the largest part of the land in the Bai Family when they separated?
