Chapter 131 Wu Changgui Wants to See Bai Zilin

While eating dumplings, Bai Zilin said, "It's nothing, it's just that Village Chief Wu and her daughter came to the shop. Hahaha, Village Chief Wu is so funny. She actually asked to borrow some noodles from me, and then said she didn't have any money with her. She's such an old man, really..."

"But don't worry, I didn't give him any face. Those father and daughter didn't even get to eat any noodles. They were really angry with Da Hu. Hehehe, you didn't see it. Village Chief Wu's face turned black with anger."

Liu Ye sensed something was amiss, but she knew the fox would eventually show its tail: "You did the right thing. We can't tolerate people like Village Chief Wu. Otherwise, if he takes advantage of us, he'll keep doing it, and it'll never end. If everyone follows his example and comes to our noodle shop to borrow noodles and run up the tab, the noodle shop won't be able to stay in business."

Bai Zilin thought for a moment and said, "Although Village Chief Wu didn't show it, I could sense that he was hostile towards me."

Liu Ye was puzzled: "Why does Village Chief Wu have ill intentions towards you? His son was fired by Young Master Zhao, and you didn't cut his leg. Why would he hate you? Unless! Wu Changgui tried to pin the blame on you, making his father misunderstand that you harmed him."

Bai Zilin nodded and said, "That's possible. Sigh, what kind of fate do we have? We always run into bad people wherever we go. I think you shouldn't build that house in your yard. I'll build mine then. I asked Da Hu about it today, and houses in town are quite cheap now. I'm thinking of buying a house in town, and after the New Year, we can choose an auspicious day to get married. Is that okay?"

Bai Zilin looked at Liu Ye with expectant eyes, afraid that she would disagree. Liu Ye thought the same thing as him. She also liked Bai Zilin and was willing to marry him. She nodded shyly, "I'll listen to Brother Bai..."

When Bai Zilin saw that Liu Ye had agreed, he threw down his chopsticks, excitedly went to Liu Ye's side, and hugged her in his arms: "That's great, Liu Ye, you agreed to marry me, hahaha, I'm going to have a wife soon, and my wife is going to give birth to my child soon."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ye blushed and pushed Bai Zilin aside, saying, "Let's go eat. You're just talking nonsense. Who gives birth that fast? Do you think I'm a rabbit...?"

Bai Zilin hugged Liu Ye tightly again, rested his head on her shoulder, and said in a slightly choked voice, "When we have children in the future, I will definitely love them very much. I will buy them delicious food, clothes, and shoes. If it is a boy, I will teach him to hunt and practice martial arts. If it is a girl, I will protect her well and not let bad boys bully her. If it is a girl, I will also teach her to dance and send her to school, raising her to be like a well-bred lady from a wealthy family in the city. What do you say?"

Liu Ye nodded shyly: "Okay, whatever Brother Bai says is right."

Bai Zilin kissed Liu Ye on the cheek and whispered in her ear, "It's cold, and it's cold sleeping alone. I'll stay and warm the bed for you..."

Liu Ye bit her lip, her face full of black lines. Good heavens, he'd gone astray after his trip to the South with Young Master Zhao; he was actually trying to... you know... with her before they were even married... -_-||

She stuck her five fingers into Bai Zilin's face, pressed his face down and pushed him aside: "Go eat your food. Tell me, have you been corrupted by Young Master Zhao? What have you been doing in the South? Where have you been? Tell me the truth!"

Feeling guilty, Bai Zilin climbed to the other side of the table, picked up his chopsticks, and continued eating, muttering softly, "I...I didn't go anywhere. I was just joking with you, hehe, don't take it seriously..."

Seeing his guilty look and hearing his words, Liu Ye knew he must have done something bad with Young Master Zhao: "Are the girls at the brothel pretty?"

Bai Zilin hurriedly shook his head and said, "It doesn't look good..." (#Д) Realizing he'd let something slip, he quickly threw his chopsticks on the table and explained in a panic, "Liu Ye, listen to me! It was Young Master Zhao who took me to the brothel. I went with him, I didn't do anything, just ate some fruit, and I didn't even dare drink any wine. Young Master Zhao wanted to call me a girl, but I firmly refused. Liu Ye, you have to believe me, otherwise I'll really be wronged to death...!" (_)

Liu Ye rolled her eyes. She was right. She believed that Bai Zilin wouldn't do anything. It was Zhao Gongzi who would do something. But she still had to scare him. He didn't do anything this time. If she let it go, he might do something next time. Men's bad habits are all spoiled!

She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, coldly looking at Bai Zilin and said, "Hmph! As the old saying goes, a sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned, and a person won't grow up straight if they're not disciplined. Bai Zilin, listen to me, if you want to marry me, you have to be chaste. I won't allow you to touch any other woman besides me. If you marry me, you have to be good to me for the rest of your life. You can't take concubines or mistresses, and you can't go to brothels or anything like that. Those are just excuses men make for themselves when they go out and mess around. If you don't agree to that and you think you can't do it, then I won't marry you."

Without a moment's hesitation, Bai Zilin immediately knelt on the kang (a heated brick bed), raised three fingers above his head, and solemnly swore: "I, Bai Zilin, swear to heaven that I will only love Liu Ye for the rest of my life, and will only marry her as my legal wife. I will never take a concubine or have any other affairs with other women. If I break my promise today, I, Bai Zilin, am willing to be struck by lightning and suffer in the 18th level of hell after death."

Bai Zilin's performance pleased Liu Ye: "Alright, I believe you. Get up and eat now. Remember, don't go to those kinds of places in the future. The men and women there all have venereal diseases."

Bai Zilin wiped away his cold sweat and sat down to eat again: "I know even if you don't tell me, there are a few men in the caravan who really like to gossip. I heard them say that if you get infected with that disease, you will eventually rot away and your bones will turn black. It's terrifying to hear them say that."

Liu Ye smiled and nodded without saying a word. After Bai Zilin finished eating, he went back to his room to sleep, and she also covered herself with the blanket and went to sleep.

The next day, after Bai Zilin and Liu Ye finished eating, he was about to go to the noodle shop when there was a knock on the door: "I'll go open the door."

Liu Ye quickly said, "Ask who opened the door."

Bai Zilin arrived at the gate and called out, "Who is it?"

"It's me, I'm Village Chief Wu."

Upon hearing that it was Village Chief Wu, Bai Zilin opened the door with a puzzled look: "Oh, it's Village Chief Wu. Is there something you need?"

Village Chief Wu chuckled and said, "Hehe, it's nothing much, I just wanted to ask you for a small favor. Well, you know Changgui broke his leg. Ever since he came home, he's been lying on the kang (heated brick bed) without saying a word or eating much. This morning he suddenly said he wanted to talk to you and asked me to invite you over. I was thinking you could talk to him and help him think more positively. Zilin, it would be troublesome if you and your uncle came to my house for a while. I see you have so many employees at your noodle shop, you can come a little later."
