章 138: Chapter 138: Bai Family ancestral home Part 1
When they enter a road at the outskirt of the city, Bai Yi Yang feels that this place is very similar to road at Qinfang village. So, there are also village like theirs in City Bei, well, no matter where all places actually are similar.
"This village still have many descendants of the Bai family, so they are the one who takes care of the ancestral house. We who live far can only comes once in a while because of the distance. The people who come here is mostly from City Bei, our big family branch. Our Bai family branch in City Bei is quite big." Bai Yu Jing explain.
When they arrived at the place that is called ancestral home of Bai family, there are 15-20 cars parked and there are more than 50 peoples gathered together, actually it's more than that, maybe almost 100 people. What they can see is only the people sitting under the canopy outside, inside the ancestral home, there are more people.
"So many people.." Bai Yi Ling said, her antisocial character came out.
"You siblings never been here?" Bai Yu Jing ask.
"The rest never been here. Only me and Yang Yang, but Yang Yang only come 2 times, I go every year." Bai Yi Chen said. Bai Yi Chen is one of the favourite, of course he will be brought here often.
"Ohh..I see…" Bai Yu Jing said. They find a parking space before getting off.
Bai Yu Jing often come even when it is not Qingming Festival so many of the villagers recognise her. When paired with the Bai siblings cannot be ignored presence, many more people noticed them coming.
"Cousin, who did you bring this time? People from your husband family?" An aunt ask. They know that the Nian family is quite well off, they live at the city, so everyone from Nian family must be rich. That's why she take a guess of these children identify.
"This is my eldest son, Nian Sheng, I bought him a few times before. Then these 5 people is my late father adopted sons and daughters, they are my younger siblings on paper." Bai Yu Jing said. The older women who came to listen look at the 5 fine looking siblings from head to toe.
"Really? Where are they from?" An elderly lady ask. They become much more interested. Bai Yu Jing feels awkward talking about the siblings in front of them.
"Da jiejie, I will go bring my younger siblings inside to pay respect." Bai Yi Chen said. Bai Yu Jing nod. Together with Nian Sheng, they enter the ancestral home and wait for their turn to burn incense. There is actually a line since there are quite a number of people.
"Quick, tell us." The same elderly lady urge Bai Yu Jing when the children is gone.
"From my late father's older brother branch, the branch that lose their son and daughter-in-law two years ago in a car accident. You know the story." Bai Yu Jing said. The people who heard this look at each other in understanding, of course they know ah. Such a big matter, it became a gossip topic every year when the family gather.
"So it's them. Didn't they move away to other city? That branch is too much, not enough with hitting the orphans, they were even send away.. How did they suddenly come to your branch?"p what happened? When did it happen?" The elderly lady said.
"It hasn't been long, about 1 month ago. The younger generations had an argument and the elder from their branch still try to oppress the 5 of them. So they can't stand it, both side agree to remove and be removed. Since they are still the descendants of Bai family, we bring them to our side. Just nice, my late father don't have a son, the children can continue to carry his name." Bai Yu Jing said, she didn't share the details.
"I don't understand that branch. These siblings look bright and beautiful, just looking at them we can see that they have bright future, they let go of such grandchildren..tsk..tsk.." Other people add. Other people treat the children in their family like treasure, but that certain branch dislike their orphans grandchildren and kick them away.
Maybe because they think that they are blessed with children, they become less appreciative of their own blood. That branch has 5 children in the second generation, the first 3 are all sons followed by 2 daughters. Their sons has many children too, the eldest son have 5 children, the 2nd son has 3 children, the deceased 3rd son has 5 children which they had removed from the register, the 4th daughter have 2 children and the youngest 5th daughter have 3 children. So that branch is really blessed with children, that's why they dare to neglect this group of siblings. If it were other people, who have the heart to throw away their flesh and blood?
"Raising children need money, maybe they don't want to spend a cent. You remember when they were almost reported 2 years ago, even after all that they still didn't return the children money." Bai Yu Jing said. The Bai siblings case 2 years ago, many of the Bai family have heard it, of course there are many versions, some believe that the branch elder don't have a heart and some believe that the siblings is the one who don't have manner to be beaten to that extent.
"You are right. The children are fine, they even greet us politely. It's certainly the grown up in that branch who have problems." Another woman add.
"So..you and your husband take them in?" Someone ask. Bai Yu Jing's husband is known to have some money, so taking the children in is possible.
"No. We wanted too, but the siblings have their own life in City Nan, as you can see, their life is really not bad. They only come here to pay respect." Bai Yu Jing said.
"I thought they were taken in by you. You see them, they smell of money. Did their parents leave a lot of money behind?"
"What money?! You didn't know but I know, that year, the funeral was paid by the siblings. And I heard half of the remaining money is also given to the same second uncle that beat them. Where else can they have money? But maybe the mother leave them with something in City Nan. When their mother married in, there is a rumour that their mother comes from a well off family. Who knows that she died early following her husband." The elderly lady said emotionally. Seems like, this lady has certain dislike against that branch, she is very enthusiastic when criticising that branch elders.
"So pitiful.." Some soft hearted ladies said with frown on their face.
While they were chatting, the certain branch in subject arrived. Who else if not the pretentious first branch. The ladies who heard the stories gave them a look, especially towards the elders of that branch who always act proud. The eldest son is a high school teacher, the second son also works for the government in a water department of City Bei, the deceased third son was also a teacher, the youngest daughter is also a teacher and the other daughter married to a man with money. Have to say, this branch is really quite capable.
The first branch brings two big cars with them, the head of the family, 1st son, 2nd son, 4th daughter and her husband and a few grandchildren. They wear smart attire and walk around as if they have money. If this is not showing off, then what? They meet people, shake hands as if they are important people, making the people who knows their real face feel nauseous. Bai Yu Jing is one of the people who is disgusted by them.
"I can't stand them. I will go inside and pay respect." Bai Yu Jing said to the ladies and enter the ancestral house to look for the children. That branch elder has always been like that, acting like their branch is one of the most successful in the Bai family. The Bai family of their branch come from the village, their elders are farmers so when someone set foot in the centre of the city, they can show off a bit.
Bai Yi Yang and the bunch who wait in line chat with the people behind and in front of them. Some remember Bai Yi Chen, but they barely recognise him from 2 years ago. Bai Yi Chen will then introduce her siblings to these people. So while waiting in line, the Bai siblings talk to quite a number of people from the big Bai family. Since they are nice people, what more they look good, people enjoy chatting with them. Nian Sheng is a quiet child, even Bai Yi Yang hadn't heard many words from him, he will only talk when necessary.
When it was their turn to burn incense, the kind people who talked with them help guid the smaller siblings who doesn't know what to do.
"Aiyoo..I have troubled you." Bai Yu Jing come from outside and said this to the people who help the Bai siblings.
"So they come with you. These children are clever, we just show them and they know what to do." The people praise. Bai Yu Jing smiled and continue to introduce them as the children of their branch. The people nod and immediately look at the siblings with new light, no wonder they are so polite and kind, they also looks well educated.
"We will go ahead and meet great grandmother.." Bai Yu Jing said to the people when they are done. The Bai siblings politely smile at the people. Even after they leave, people still can't get enough of them.
"I thought they were some kind of child celebrity, all look pretty and proper." The people comments.
"Same with me, I immediately noticed them when they enter. That branch is lucky to have children that look like that. Do you think our Bai family will have celebrity in the future?"
"If we are not closely related, I had wanted to pair up my son and daughter.."
The Bai siblings follow Bai Yu Jing outside to meet this grand grandmother, must be very old since she is called like this.
"The great grandmother is the family head's mother, she is already 97 years old." Bai Yu Jing said. They are heading to the canopy where the great grandmother is sitting with the other elders, she have talked with the great grandmother a few times when she come to pay respect to her father here, so she also wanted the Bai siblings to meet her.
But before they can meet this great grandmother, they were stopped by a familiar voice from someone amongst the people under the canopy.
"You! You dare to come here after acting rude to your own grandparents!?" A female voice said, directed at the Bai siblings. The people around immediately stopped chatting and look at the person who utter the words and also the group of children. It wasn't that loud compared to the bustling chatter under the canopy, but some people nearby still heard it.
Bai Yi Yang already noticed her unfriendly gaze even when they were a few steps away but she didn't say anything. Yes, throw more insults, today she will make the first branch totally lose face. If they were going to ignore them, she also won't say anything but if they insist to demean them siblings, then she also won't keep her mouth shut either.
Bai Yi Yang and her siblings look at each other and they immediately decided to ignore her. Bai Yi Yang don't know this face, but she can guess that she must be someone from their former branch. She pat her siblings shoulder and told them not to look at the person anymore.
"Rude! You even dare ignore your aunt now." The lady add. She is dressed differently than the rest of the woman, she wore makeup, more fashionable and her clothes are from the city, that's why her arrogance is intensified.
The people who is nearby turn their head again, feeling a bit uncomfortable that someone is using a tone like that while talking. People who come here is simple, they don't like to quarrel, what more they are all family. Does she think that she can act arrogant just because she has a bit money? They all look at the woman with discomfort.
"4th cousin, what do you mean with this. Me and my younger siblings only wanted to pay respect to grand grandmother. We are civilised people and a big family at that, can't you talk kindly?" Bai Yu Jing is someone who can't swallow an insult too. What more, she already dislike this branch after all the incidents with the Bai siblings.
"I am telling the truth. If not, why would my deceased third brother children got kicked out of the family and enter your branch then? Why, since they are in your family now, you are siding with these rude kids?" The woman arrogantly said, she is none other than the first branch daughter, ranked 4th or the children's fourth paternal aunt.
