Chapter 150 Unexpected
The poor little figure got up from the ground.
Spitting out the old vegetable leaves she had been fighting with the hen, she wiped her mouth vigorously with her little hand, her big, resentful eyes glaring angrily at the girl sitting on the recliner.
Not only did they hit people!
He even slapped him down!
My head is still buzzing!
"Xiao Wei?"
Bai Lu stared blankly as she reached out her finger and poked the little guy's puffed-up cheeks, which were swollen like a little pufferfish in anger. She couldn't believe that she had just slapped Xiao Wei away, mistaking him for Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Wei turned and left: "I was even thinking of telling you what Haozi said to me on the way back this afternoon, about what my brother said to him, and about you too. But I won't say anymore."
What did she say?
Bai Lu immediately got up and followed the small figure to the vegetable garden: "I didn't mean to just now, I must have seen wrong. What did your brother and Wang Hao say?"
Xiao Wei went into the vegetable garden and started pulling up radishes without saying a word; he was clearly still angry.
Bai Lu's mind raced, and she turned her attention to the large white radish in his hand: "Why are you pulling up a radish? I've already prepared the ingredients for dinner. I'll make your favorite spicy chicken. How about that? Pretty generous, right?"
Xiao Wei paused, then stuffed the large white radish, which he had already pulled halfway out of the mud, back into the mud.
Looking up at Bailu, not only were her bright eyes filled with resentment, but her entire face was also filled with anger and resentment.
"My brother is the one who likes spicy chicken the most."
"It wasn't me."
Bai Lu: "..."
How embarrassing!
"You like to eat it too, don't you? I remember you said spicy chicken was delicious before..."
“I did say that, but that’s because…” Never mind, Xiao Wei stopped talking: “I like spicy chicken.”
Bai Lu noticed a word was missing and suddenly realized, "Oh~ so your older brother is the one who likes spicy chicken the most. You just like spicy chicken, not that it's your favorite. I understand. So what do you like to eat the most?"
Xiao Wei: "Spicy chicken."
Bai Lu: "..."
You're really obsessed with spicy chicken, aren't you?
"Actually, you don't need to put the radish back in. I can make you pickled radish. Don't you like it?"
Xiao Weigang turned to leave the vegetable garden, but upon hearing this, he turned back and pulled the large white radish out of the hole.
I originally planned to leave it for a day and pull it out tomorrow, but now that I have the opportunity to pull it out, that would be even better.
Whether it's my favorite or not is no longer important.
Most importantly, the food Bailu makes is delicious; even if it's your favorite, you can finish it all without wasting any food.
Xiao Wei twisted off the radish leaves and threw them to the old hen and chicks, then carried the big white radish back to the front yard.
As they walked, he said, "My brother told Wang Hao that he misses you."
Bai Lu stumbled: "Lying isn't good for a child, and your older brother doesn't like it."
Xiao Cheng had already said on the phone that he hadn't been drinking, so it was impossible for him to have said something inappropriate while intoxicated.
Moreover, no matter how much she asked, he wouldn't admit to ever missing her. His pride and arrogance were ingrained in his bones. How could he possibly tell Wang Hao that he missed her? Absolutely not!
"I wasn't lying." The small figure walking ahead snorted. "Believe it or not."
Bai Lu casually walked around the pebbles on the ground and continued walking steadily, asking as if it were just a casual question: "What did your brother say to Wang Hao?"
Xiao Wei figured she wouldn't believe him anyway, so he simply stopped talking, picked up the big white radish, and went back to the front yard to wash it.
While I was washing, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, offering me a loofah ladle.
Using a loofah ladle to wash radish paste is more convenient.
Xiao Wei took the loofah ladle and said while washing, "Big Brother told Brother Hao when he would be back. Brother Hao found out that the original date had been moved up, so he casually asked Big Brother, and Big Brother said he missed you."
He wouldn't admit it no matter how I asked him on the phone, but it turns out he already told her? And he even told people other than her?
Bai Lu was truly shocked by Xiao Cheng's unpredictable thought process: "This..."
"But... that's really not like him."
Xiao Wei knew Bai Lu wouldn't believe it. Although he didn't believe it either, Wang Hao's regretful and guilty expression as he spoke made him realize that things weren't simple.
Although he didn't understand how complicated it was, he was certain it was related to the White Dew solar term.
"If you say that, Brother Hao will lock Chen Chunli up, right? Although you told Brother that you kicked Chen Chunli out, and Brother promised not to pursue the matter further, a warning is still necessary. Brother probably thinks Brother Hao doesn't know you're one of his men, so it needs to be made clear so that Brother Hao knows that if he doesn't lock Chen Chunli up, Brother will lock her up for him..."
Xiao Wei suddenly stopped talking.
As if realizing she had said something wrong, she lowered her head and quickly washed the radish, her little mouth tightly shut.
His complexion also looked a little off for a moment.
Bai Lu's curiosity was instantly piqued; she didn't recall Xiao Cheng ever locking anyone up in his memory.
Could it be that my memory is incomplete?
"Your brother...besides being able to use his hands, he can also handle locks? Where can he lock himself?"
Xiao Weicai wouldn't say that one time after school it was raining and he didn't bring an umbrella. He took a shortcut home and passed through a small alley he rarely used. In the distance, he heard his older brother's voice, instructing people to lock a bad guy in a tunnel under the city's outskirts, depriving him of food and water, and not letting him out for many days.
Bailu is so timid, she's even afraid of mice. What if she runs away in fear after finding out?
Let's not talk about it.
"I don't know, I've never seen it before." Xiao Wei washed the radish and carried it back to the kitchen. "It's getting dark."
It's almost dinnertime.
Bai Lu glanced at the sky, where the sun had just set and the red glow of the sunset hadn't yet faded, and thought, "Hmm... I can start cooking now."
By the time the meal is ready, night should have fallen.
As for Xiao Cheng touching the lock, that was probably just rumors that Xiao Wei overheard gossiping and making wild guesses. The little guy himself said he had never seen it.
Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing.
There are still a lot of chestnuts to roast tomorrow, so I have to get up early. After dinner, I took a shower, washed and hung up the clothes, and then Bailu read for a while before going to sleep.
Xiao Cheng had already called back during the day and wouldn't call again tonight; if he were to call, it would be tomorrow.
Finally, I can get a good night's sleep.
I slept well, and even though I rushed around, I finally managed to roast all the chestnuts before 11:30 a.m., supplying the goods to ten sales channels. After cleaning and tidying everything up, there was no time left to cook.
Bai Lu was about to take Xiao Wei out to eat when there was a knock on the door. Xiao Guofu and Li Hongying had arrived.
Standing outside the door was a young man with a straight posture, refined and elegant demeanor, and a gentle and jade-like face.
Upon seeing Lin Jinfan, Xiao Wei immediately tensed up and took the initiative to grab Bai Lu's sleeve.
Bai Lu had just finished greeting the others when she noticed her cuff being tugged. She lowered her eyes slightly to look at it.
To her surprise, Xiao Wei grabbed her sleeve for the first time, his dark, deep eyes fixed on Lin Jinfan. His small body stood straight and motionless, his back ramrod straight, as if he had entered a state of high alert, no, extremely high alert!
