Chapter 129 The bad guys finally got their comeuppance.

Bai Zilin was also hungry. He ate the pancake in big bites and the meat in the sauerkraut in big bites: "It's pork, this is wild boar meat, right?"

Liu Ye smiled and nodded, her mouth really picky: "I bought it from a hunter. He hunted a really big wild boar, and it sold out in town in no time. I bought 10 jin of it, and I froze it all in the vat outside. Sigh, it's snowing outside again. I'm really worried that the grain from the south won't come over. I don't know how many people will starve to death."

While eating, Bai Zilin said, "It's alright. As long as there are no bandits to rob us, the grain will still come when it snows. I have good news for you. Li Fugui is dead. It happened this afternoon. I heard that... well, everyone has different opinions. Some say Li Fugui was poisoned, some say he died suddenly from illness, and some say that since he's dead, no one will bother us anymore."

Liu Ye feigned surprise: "Really? Li Fugui is dead! Oh my, God has eyes! The bad guy finally got his comeuppance..."

Bai Zilin also said happily, "Who says otherwise? I wouldn't have come back if he hadn't died. This pancake is really delicious, and the pickled cabbage is also very tasty."

Liu Ye laughed and said, "If you like it, eat more. I've pickled a whole vat of sauerkraut and it's all sour. I also bought a whole jar of soybean oil. It's very expensive. It was sold by a merchant from the south. It cost two taels of silver per catty. It's like robbery."

Bai Zilin had no doubts after hearing this: "Everything related to food is expensive now, but it will be better after the New Year."

After Bai Zilin finished eating, he took the leftovers to the kitchen and went back to his room to sleep. That night, the snow fell heavier and heavier. When the two of them came out of the house the next morning, they found that the snow in the yard was knee-deep.

Liu Ye felt a headache coming on when she saw the thick snow: "Oh my god, it's snowing so heavily again. It seems like it's snowed three times already. There's still more than a month until the New Year. I hope it doesn't snow again."

"Liu Ye, go cook. I'll clean up the snow in the yard."

Bai Zilin took the shovel from the wall and started shoveling snow. Liu Ye came to the kitchen, heated up the leftover pancakes from yesterday, and there was only a little bit of sauerkraut left, which Bai Zilin had almost eaten up. She then scooped out another head of sauerkraut and made half a bowl of sauerkraut and Sichuan-style braised pork.

In just a short while, Bai Zilin had cleared out the passageway in the yard and was sweeping the front gate when Wang Dani came running over with a broom in hand, looking like she was asking for trouble: "Brother Bai, you're back! I heard you went to work in the south and made a lot of money, right?"

When Aunt Wang came out of the yard, she saw Wang Dani running off to get close to Bai Zilin again, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "That wretched girl, she's really infuriating!"

Bai Zilin glanced up at her, then continued shoveling snow, too lazy to pay her any attention. Wang Dani, thinking he didn't know his mother was dead, maliciously complained, "Brother Bai, did Liu Ye tell you? Your mother is dead. Liu Ye wouldn't let your mother into the house. Your mother froze to death at Wang Ergou's doorstep and was taken back to Sandaohe Village by Wang Ergou and his older brother. So pitiful."

Bai Zilin remained silent, and Wang Dani, oblivious to the situation, continued, "Brother Bai, you should be careful when you go hunting in the mountains in the future. There are animal traps on the mountain, and my brother's leg was broken. Now he only has one leg left. Otherwise, my brother would be so amazing. He could catch prey every time he went up the mountain, and I could eat meat every day. It's a pity that I can't eat meat now. Okay, okay, beep beep beep."

Wang Dani was talking non-stop, but Bai Zilin didn't reply at all. It wasn't until Bai Zilin finished shoveling the snow in front of the door, closed the gate, and went back to the yard that Wang Dani went home with a look of resentment.

Brother Bai is so heartless! She's been trying so hard to get close to him, but he still ignores her. He's so unique and manly. She likes him so much.

Aunt Wang took a broom and hit Wang Dani hard on the bottom. Wang Dani cried out in pain, clutching her bottom and jumping up and down, "Ouch, it hurts so much! Why did you hit me, Mom?"

Aunt Wang raised her broom, ready to hit her again: "You shameless girl, didn't I tell you to stay away from Bai Zilin? Is your face your ass? He doesn't even talk to you, but you still go for it. How can you be so shameless? You've completely disgraced me!"

Wang Dani ran into the house, clutching her bottom. Aunt Wang angrily threw the broom into the yard. Hearing the commotion, Wang Laopi ran over from the backyard with a shovel: "What's going on? What are you two arguing about again?"

Aunt Wang, hands on her hips, was furious: "It's all because of your good daughter! She's trying to curry favor with Bai Zilin again, she's driving me crazy!"

When Wang Laopi heard about this, he thought, "Is that all?" Now that Tie Niu was crippled, he also hoped that Da Ni could get Bai Zilin, so that he could have more meat to eat. "Don't worry about this. Da Ni likes Bai Zilin, so let her go after him. If she really succeeds, it will be a good thing. Tie Niu is like that. If we don't find a good son-in-law, how will we live in the future? Don't worry about it."

Aunt Wang snorted coldly, turned around and went back into the house in anger. She had already figured out that Liu Ye and Bai Zilin were not easy to deal with. If Dani didn't listen to her, she would suffer the consequences!

After Bai Zilin finished eating at home, he went to the noodle shop in town without letting Liu Ye go. When Bai Zilin arrived at the noodle shop, he went to the counter to take over from Walnut to collect money. Da Hu took a break and came over to say, "Boss, no one came to watch the shop last night. It was quite peaceful all night. Let's see if the officials come later."

Bai Zilin said softly, "I probably can't come."

"Give me three bowls of noodles." Here they come, Da Hu quickly went to serve the noodles to the customer.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Liu Ye went to the noodle shop once. She put 100 bags of flour in the kitchen, enough to last until the New Year. Then she came back. With Bai Zilin overseeing the noodle shop, the six men were quite busy.

The customers who ate noodles were a mixed bag. Because she was good-looking, there were always some lecherous men who would peek at her, and the bolder ones would even say dirty jokes. Bai Zilin would get angry and start hitting them, which would cause trouble, so she should probably avoid going there.

That day, Bai Zilin left home again to go to the noodle shop in town. But as soon as he arrived at the door of Village Chief Wu's house, he was stopped by Village Chief Wu driving an oxcart. On the cart was Wu Xincao, who was wrapped up tightly. As soon as she saw Bai Zilin, she immediately pulled off the cloth covering her face, revealing a bright red face, and stared straight at Bai Zilin.

"Bai Zilin, you go to town every day. What business do you do there? Why don't you ride in my oxcart? I'll give you a ride. It just so happens that my son and I are also going to the market in town."

Bai Zilin couldn't refuse, so he sat down next to Village Chief Wu on the oxcart and casually replied, "Nothing much, just going for a stroll in town."

Village Chief Wu curled his lip, thinking to himself, "He's still not telling the truth. I've already asked around. Bai Zilin opened a noodle shop in town, and business is booming. All the grain shops in town have closed down, but his noodle shop is still doing business. It must be that Young Master Zhao is supporting him behind the scenes and providing him with grain supplies. Otherwise, how could he have this ability? Humph, that dog, he's just robbing his son's benefits!"
