Chapter 236 Ring Ring
A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; she is no longer part of her maternal family and cannot be buried back in her maternal home after her death.
This is the most obvious customary characteristic of this era.
Even in later generations, in the new society of the 21st century, there are still some regions where customs have not changed.
Actually, this kind of thing mainly depends on the individual and what the parents think. If you can't change the overall environment, then stay away.
In later generations, it's easy to distance oneself, but in this native traditional mindset, it's far from easy.
Bai Lu sympathized with Wang Cuihua for three seconds, but still had to say what needed to be said: "Xiao Cheng is a person, not an object. He can't be given up by anyone. Xiao Cheng has the right to make his own choice."
Wang Cuihua thought she had won over Bai Lu, and her face was full of excitement: "Brother Xiao Cheng has no objections, as long as you agree to let me move in."
Bai Lu couldn't understand where her confidence came from: "When did you ask Xiao Cheng, and when did he agree?"
“If you agree, then he agrees.” Wang Cuihua pleaded, “Bai Lu, please let me move in.”
Bai Lu refused, saying, "Go ask Xiao Cheng."
The house belongs to Xiao Cheng; Bai Lu is currently just renting it and has no say in the decision-making process.
Wang Cuihua insisted on asking Bai Lu, "If you agree, then Brother Xiao Cheng will definitely listen to you."
Bai Lu refused: "He has his own ideas."
Wang Cuihua said, "He listens to you."
Bai Lu: "Can't you find someone else?"
"No way!" Wang Cuihua insisted firmly, "No one can compare to Brother Xiao Cheng. As long as I'm with Brother Xiao Cheng, no one will dare to bully me in the future."
"No one bullies you now, everyone knows you are Xiao Cheng's wife, Abiao."
"This is only temporary. After Brother Xiao Cheng gets married, everyone will only know Brother Xiao Cheng's wife and won't remember me. I'm sure someone will bully me again."
Wang Cuihua looked helpless and pitiful, her eyes red, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
"Bai Lu, please agree to let me move in."
Bai Lu coldly refused: "I disagree."
Wang Cuihua wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, shamelessly declaring, "I'll take that as your agreement."
"What unrealistic dreams are you having?"
Bai Lu tore the green beans into pieces and threw them into the vegetable basket in front of Wang Cuihua.
His sudden serious expression and cold voice startled Wang Cuihua, but she dared not cry.
She could only pout and say, "Bai Lu, please don't be like this. You're so kind, can't you give me a chance?"
Just as Bai Lu uttered the word "no," the telephone on the high table suddenly rang—"Ring ring!"
"Ring ring—"
Wang Cuihua's family didn't have a telephone. She had come to Xiao Cheng's house to get chestnuts a while ago and was extremely envious when she saw the new telephone.
I've been wanting to hear what a phone call sounds like for a long time.
“If we fight back now, it will definitely be Brother Xiao Cheng.” Wang Cuihua lunged at the high table.
I mimicked the way Li Shuixian had made a phone call in her shop when I saw her on the street, and reached out to pick up the phone.
She called out in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Brother Xiao Cheng~"
White Dew makes my skin crawl.
The phone call paused for a while, so long that Wang Cuihua thought she was using the wrong hand position and tried several different positions.
Just as he was about to ask Bai Lu, a cold voice suddenly came through the phone: "Where's Bai Lu?"
Wang Cuihua glanced back and saw Bai Lu still tearing green beans, her cool gaze sweeping over her.
"Bai Lu is washing vegetables in the yard." Wang Cuihua covered the telephone receiver like Li Shuixian and said softly, "Brother Xiao Cheng, I'll stay and have dinner with you tonight."
The voice on the other end of the line was devoid of any emotion, and even colder and deeper: "Ask your sister-in-law."
Wang Cuihua's hand trembled, she covered the phone, and whispered to Bai Lu with her back to her, "Bai Lu has agreed."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a clear, loud female voice rang out from behind him: "I did not agree."
Wang Cuihua: "..."
A low chuckle came from the other end of the phone, which quickly disappeared: "Give the phone to Bai Lu."
Wang Cuihua didn't want to give it, so she held the phone for a long time without moving, and only spoke after a while.
“Xiao Chengda…”
*Snap*—"Beep beep beep!"
When Wang Cuihua heard this sound for the first time, she was a little confused and turned to look at Bai Lu in a daze.
Why isn't Brother Xiao Cheng saying anything?
The dial tone was so loud that Bai Lu could hear it even across the table. She regretfully informed him, "He hung up."
Wang Cuihua was still unclear about what it meant to be hung up on; she simply assumed that Xiao Cheng was busy with something.
Reluctantly, he put the telephone receiver back on the landline.
Less than three seconds after I put it down, the phone rang again, vibrating in my eardrums.
"Ring ring!"
Wang Cuihua, who had just turned around, immediately returned, picked up the phone, and called out, "Brother Xiao Cheng!"
"Give the phone to Bai Lu," Xiao Cheng said directly.
Wang Cuihua didn't want to give it, but then she thought that Xiao Cheng might have something important to tell Bai Lu.
The only option is to give the phone receiver to Bailu.
Meanwhile, they stood aside and eavesdropped.
Bai Lu ignored her, greeted Xiao Cheng, and then fell silent.
It wasn't that there was no sound; Xiao Cheng was speaking and Bai Lu was listening, as if they were talking about a purchase order.
Wang Cuihua didn't dare to get too close, and Bai Lu covered the telephone receiver, so she couldn't hear very clearly.
All I heard was Bailu mention a location.
Brother Xiao Cheng's electronics store opened yesterday; this must be somewhere in the store.
After Bai Lu finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and it seemed that the person on the other end of the phone was instructing someone to go and search.
Soon, a man's voice said, "Found it!" and then Xiao Cheng's voice rang out.
What do you want to eat tonight?
Wang Cuihua suddenly approached and clearly heard this sentence; Bai Lu no longer tried to hide it.
