Xiao Wei was pacing around outside.
He only went inside after seeing smoke coming from the chimney of his house and checked the door crack to make sure no one was in the main house before pushing the door open.
They didn't dare to say much during meals.
The dining table was just as quiet as when we ate wontons in the morning, but the atmosphere was different; it had become strange.
Although it wasn't bad, on the contrary, it was quite good. Despite being very quiet, Xiao Wei quickly finished eating and went back to his room to do his homework.
If I don't go back soon, my older brother will keep a close eye on me.
After the meal.
Xiao Cheng went to an electronics store in the city.
After reading for a while, Bai Lu went to the vegetable garden in the backyard to pull weeds. No matter how important studying is, it is important to balance work and rest.
The weeds in the vegetable garden have been pulled bare.
The fish in the stream were well-fed, their white bellies turned upwards as they swam back and forth on the surface.
A pair of butterflies flew over the rapeseed field, crossed the stream, and landed on the beautiful rose bushes.
They dance gracefully amidst the blooming flowers, and as the breeze rises, wisps of floral fragrance drift on the wind.
It drifted across the river, stood against the wind, and seemed to be gazing thoughtfully at the flowers in Bai Lu's eyes.
"Knock knock knock—"
"White Dew! White Dew! White Dew!" Wang Cuihua came to keep her promise to meet her that afternoon.
When Bai Lu returned to the front yard, Xiao Wei had just opened the door when a figure clinging to the door almost fell in.
After stumbling and wobbling for several steps, he finally managed to reach Bailu and stand still.
"Bai Lu, that person didn't manage to buy your electric chestnut roasting machine this morning, right? I want to buy it, sell it to me, I'll pay any price!"
Xiao Wei was speechless: "..."
How can you all be so deaf? My older brother and sister-in-law have said it so many times: we don't sell electric chestnut machines.
They would come over every day to ask questions, from one person to another, and then to Wang Cuihua.
Isn't Wang Cuihua afraid of being punched away by her older brother?
Clearly, Wang Cuihua, who didn't see Xiao Cheng at home, wasn't afraid: "Bai Lu, just sell me the electric stir-fry machine."
"Do you have money?" Bai Lu casually asked, then slowly walked back to the main house to prepare vegetables.
I just picked some green beans from the garden. The tough fibers around the green beans are tough and need to be removed before stir-frying.
Wang Cuihua, very outgoing, followed Bai Lu inside, pulled up a chair, and helped her peel green beans.
While tearing the paper, she said pitifully, "Since Abiao passed away, we haven't had any money at home. I worked with you to sell roasted chestnuts, and we finally managed to save up a little money. I even paid you back the tuition fee for learning how to make roasted chestnuts from you."
"Right now, I don't have that much money to buy an electric chestnut roasting machine, but don't worry, as long as you sell me the electric chestnut roasting machine, I'll make sugar-roasted chestnuts and sell them, and I'll pay you back immediately."
Bai Lu smiled, touched by Wang Cuihua's persistence, and said coolly, "We don't offer credit."
Wang Cuihua's eyes lit up: "How much money do you need? I'll go borrow it from Brother Dazhuang and the others."
Bai Lu: "..."
I thought I could find out about her family background, but it turns out her family's wealth is with someone else, which is quite impressive.
"One hundred thousand yuan." Now you should back down, right?
Wang Cuihua stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Ten thousand yuan! Why don't you just rob someone!"
Bai Lu glanced at her, said nothing, and continued to slowly peel the tendrils off the green beans.
Wang Cuihua felt like a lamb being slaughtered: "Bai Lu, are you lying to me? How could an electric chestnut roasting machine be so expensive? You're kidding me, aren't you?"
Bai Lu explained seriously, "Our electric chestnut roasting machine was made by A-Cheng himself. Don't you think it's worth 100,000 yuan?"
Wang Cuihua wanted to say it wasn't worth it, but after thinking about it, she felt it was worth it, but she didn't have that much money, so she couldn't say it was worth it.
He could only plead his case to Bailu: "I don't have that much money. We're all so familiar with each other, can I pay you back on credit? I'll pay you back after I sell the roasted chestnuts."
Bai Lu smiled and shook her head: "No."
Wang Cuihua choked with anger: "You don't want to sell me the electric stir-fry machine, that's why you're asking such a high price, right?"
White Dew remains silent.
Wang Cuihua felt she had found the truth, and in a fit of anger, she snapped the string beans in half: "Bai Lu, how could you do this? We are neighbors, after all. My Abiao is even brothers with Brother Xiao Cheng. We have such a good relationship, how could you treat me like this? You have gone too far."
Xiao Wei felt that Wang Cuihua was going too far: "Your brother and sister-in-law both said they wouldn't sell it anymore, but you insist on buying it. Aren't you being unreasonable? The electric chestnut roasting machine was a gift from your brother to your sister-in-law. They won't sell it to you. Forget about it!"
Wang Cuihua finally understood why so many people wanted to buy electric chestnut roasting machines, and why they weren't even selling them during the White Dew season.
It turns out that the electric chestnut roasting machine was a gift that Brother Xiao Cheng made by hand and gave to Bai Lu.
Wang Cuihua finally gave up on the electric chestnut roasting machine and said to Bai Lu, "Give me Brother Xiao Cheng."
The delicate, innocent girl suddenly stopped beating around the bush and trying every means to infiltrate the organization; instead, she openly demanded people.
Not only was Bai Lu stunned, but even Xiao Wei, who had already put on his schoolbag and was ready to go to school, was dumbfounded.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Wang Cuihua ignored Xiao Wei and only repeated to Bai Lu, "Give me Brother Xiao Cheng."
"Have him make you an electric chestnut roasting machine?" Bai Lu seemed to have discovered the truth behind Wang Cuihua's change of strategy.
Wang Cuihua firmly denied it: "Of course not, I want to be with Brother Xiao Cheng."
Bai Lu was completely speechless.
Wang Cuihua's answer was too straightforward; it was both expected and unexpected, as she revealed herself so quickly.
Why don't you ask Xiao Cheng to expose you? Ask her to expose you instead.
Did they anticipate that she would agree?
"Big brother belongs to sister-in-law!" Xiao Wei roared angrily, determined to make Wang Cuihua realize a fact.
"My elder brother and sister-in-law are the rightful husband and wife. It's right for them to be together. You can't be with my elder brother. He won't be with you!"
Wang Cuihua retorted instinctively, "Bai Lu and Brother Xiao Cheng haven't registered their marriage, so why can't I be with Brother Xiao Cheng?"
Xiao Wei's face turned pale, as if he had heard some terrible news. He was stunned, his small body stiffened like a little zombie, and his eyes turned blankly to Bai Lu.
"Sister-in-law..." Her small voice trembled.
Bai Lu was surprised by the little guy's strong reaction. She paused for half a second, then quickly hugged him and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, don't listen to her nonsense."
"I'm not lying, you..." "Shut up!"
Before Wang Cuihua could finish speaking, Bai Lu interrupted her coldly, and Wang Cuihua was too frightened to speak.
Bai Lu withdrew her cold expression, smiled, patted Xiao Wei's head, and led him out the door: "Alright, good boy, it's alright now. Go to school, or you'll be late."
Xiao Wei obediently allowed himself to be led to the door, but he didn't go any further. He looked up at Bai Lu and refused to let go of her hand.
"Did my sister-in-law and brother really not get a marriage certificate?" The teacher said that only those who have a marriage certificate are legally married.
My older brother and sister-in-law haven't registered their marriage, so they're not husband and wife. Will they separate in the future?
Will I disappear like my parents...?
