By the time Bai Lu hurriedly finished getting ready and came downstairs, Xiao Cheng, under Grandpa Hu's guidance, had already prepared everything he needed to.
I can head straight back to my parents' home now.
It's lunchtime.
"Eat something first."
Xiao Cheng got Bai Lu her favorite soy milk and peeled egg whites, then went to the garage to get his car.
Bai Lu ate as she walked with him.
"Goodbye, elder brother and sister-in-law." Xiao Wei and Grandpa Hu saw the two to the door.
Xiao Cheng nodded slightly and started the car.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Bai Lu swallowed the last mouthful of egg white, waved goodbye, and said, "You and Grandpa should go back and eat. We're just going to eat too, we'll be back soon."
It really won't be long.
Li Xuelan's family and Xiao Cheng's family both live in the town, separated by three streets and five alleys, at the beginning and end of the town, respectively.
It takes less than ten minutes by car.
Knowing that Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng were coming back today, Bai Lu's family had already prepared a meal.
Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu can eat as soon as they arrive.
When returning the household registration book as a gift, Bai Lu and Li Xuelan interacted like a normal married woman with her parents, exchanging pleasantries and chatting about everyday matters. After dinner, they went home with Xiao Cheng.
Bai Chaojie stared intently at the disappearing taillights: "Why did you let them leave so quickly!"
"Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng are so rich now, how can they give us ordinary gifts like ordinary families? Bai Lu should give us money and show our respect!"
Li Xuelan was laid off and finally found a relatively easy job at a fruit factory. She dared not offend Xiao Cheng, whose temper was not as good as Bai Lu's.
If you anger him, you'll be fired in a heartbeat.
"Times have changed. The money from Bailu is no longer something we can even dream of."
No matter how unwilling Li Xuelan was, she could only tell Bai Chaojie: "When you go out and see Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng in the future, keep your mouth shut. Say whatever you want to say when you get home. Otherwise, you will suffer again like last time, getting beaten up by Xiao Cheng and taking from the beginning of the year to the end to recover. You will be the one who suffers."
Bai Chaojie felt that Li Xuelan had become timid and cowardly, so he went to his father, Bai Xiong, for help.
Bai Xiong said, "If you want to buy good things, you'd better watch your mouth and stop bothering Bai Lu. Otherwise, even if you save up enough money, you won't be able to buy what you want."
Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu are now big bosses; everyone in town and city wants to curry favor with them.
In short, if no one sells their goods, they can expect to be isolated and starve!
Bai Chaojie was repeatedly frustrated, so he went back to his room, slammed the door shut, and threw things to vent his anger.
...
The evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Bai Lu received a phone call.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Feng is drunk. Are you and Brother Cheng free to come out and pick him up?"
