However, since Bai Jinyao said this, the onlookers felt that if they didn’t say a few words for Bai Jinyao, they would be letting Bai Jinyao down when she said that they were good people.

Therefore, everyone stared at Old Madam Bai and Aunt Bai, waiting to hear what they were going to say next.

As long as they said something unpleasant, they would help Bai Jinyao to criticize them.

Aunt Bai heard Bai Jinyao’s words, and her expression turned ugly.

“What are you saying, Yaoyao? I’m doing this for your good.”

“Aunt Bai, you keep saying that it’s for my good. Why don’t you lend us some silver? I just married a live-in husband and spent a sum of silver. My husband is sick, and I have to buy medicine for him every day.

“We can’t even feed ourselves at home. Grandma, Aunt Bai, since you are here and have said that you’re good to me, can you lend me some silver? I don’t need much, just one tael.

“After all, in the past few years, I’ve given you at least five taels of silver, if not ten. If it’s only one tael of silver, I think you will be able to come up with it, Grandma, Aunt Bai.”

Bai Jinyao raised her voice as she spoke, and her eyes fixed on the face of Aunt Bai.

As she listened to Bai Jinyao’s words, the smile on Aunt Bai’s sallow face slowly froze.

As for Old Madam Bai, her face was drooped, as if Bai Jinyao owed them silver.

“Yaoyao, you know that our family just built a house a few days ago. Where would we find any extra money?

“And didn’t you say you would give us a sum of silver every month? It’s just that our family is almost out of food, so we came to ask you if you could help us with the cash flow.

“Why are you bringing up the past now, Yaoyao? You were the one who brought up the matter of giving us the silver!”

Although Aunt Bai did not look too good, she tried her best not to fall out with Bai Jinyao directly.

Old Madam Bai’s face was gloomy. She moved her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Aunt Bai pulled her sleeve, so she didn’t say anything.

Bai Jinyao observed their actions and spoke indifferently.

“Grandma, Aunt Bai, did you write my words down when I said I wanted to be filial to Grandma?”

Old Madam Bai and Aunt Bai looked at each other. They seemed to feel Bai Jinyao’s words were a little off today.

“Although I didn’t write it down, many people heard it when you said it,” Aunt Bai quickly said.

She was just short of telling Bai Jinyao that she better not try to go back on her words.

“Then did I clearly say that I’m showing my filial piety to Grandma with silver?”

After Bai Jinyao said this, her eyes and tone turned cold, and her attitude also changed.

“Without a contract, without a clear method of how to show filial piety, I can just deny what I said back then.

“But have you counted how much silver I’ve given you all these years? My family can’t even afford to eat. You didn’t think of sending us some food but instead wanted to ask me for silver.

“You didn’t ask about me marrying a live-in husband, nor did you give any blessings! You keep asking me for silver!

“I’m telling you! Back then, your Bai family had already driven my mother, my brother, and me out of your Bai family.

“Then you people from the Bai family can’t come and ask me for silver! Otherwise…”
