Li Jianfeng only dared to protest for a second before Xiao Cheng gave him a cold look that froze his mouth.
If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me.
Why resort to such underhanded tactics?
At worst, he won't let his sister-in-law see it!
Bai Lu smiled and patted Li Jianfeng on the shoulder: "Ah Feng, would you like to have chopped chili fish head for dinner?"
Li Jianfeng: "..."
This is outrageous!
Even the eldest sister-in-law has started to abandon all martial ethics!
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I prefer fried yellow croaker." Li Jianfeng silently revealed the three cards he had been covering his chest and showed them to Bai Lu.
Bai Lu nodded with a smile: "I'll arrange it for you tonight, crispy fried yellow croaker!"
Li Jianfeng was satisfied.
Luo Shiliu disagreed: "Sister-in-law, you're causing trouble. Look at A-Feng's hand, he got fried croakers, but look at my hand, I have nothing!"
Xiao Cheng glanced at him indifferently: "What do you want?"
Luo Shiliu's lips curled into a smirk, and he made a boastful demand with an air of thuggery: "Look at one card, and you get a roasted chestnut."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wei, who was standing next to Bai Lu counting red envelopes, immediately reached his little hand out of his bulging coat pocket and ran to the storeroom without saying a word.
When she returned, she stretched her hands out directly in front of Luo Shiliu, with fine sand still falling between her fingers.
Here, the chestnuts you wanted.
Luo Shiliu's handsome face twitched: "Xiao Wei, I want roasted chestnuts, not raw chestnuts."
Yu Xiaoling pulled a handful of roasted chestnuts from the plastic bag: "Here, there are more if you need them."
Luo Shiliu's lips twitched slightly: "Girl, do you carry roasted chestnuts with you when you go out?"
No, that's not it.
Yu Xiaoling lifted the plastic bag in her hand: "I specially got this from my parents' fruit stand to eat as a snack because I'm going to see a puppet show with Lulu today. I usually eat it at home before going out."
Luo Shiliu had nothing to say.
Bai Lu took the roasted chestnuts from Yu Xiaoling and said as she cracked open the shells, "After we finish watching this round, we'll go to the street to see a puppet show."
"good."
Yu Xiaoling nodded, then took out a few roasted chestnuts from the bag and peeled and ate them herself.
Luo Shiliu received three unshelled roasted chestnuts from Bai Lu. Bai Lu had already given the one she had peeled to Xiao Wei under Xiao Cheng's cold and ruthless gaze.
Bai Lu also used her other hand to pat the little guy on the head, telling him to put the raw chestnuts back in the storeroom.
The final result was...
The big boss threw out a leopard hand, and Li Jianfeng, Luo Shiliu, and the others lost everything.
Xiao Dazhuang and Wang Hao were caught in the crossfire.
They exclaimed that the boss was too ruthless: "Brother Cheng, are you the legendary wife-protecting maniac?"
"Be confident, just remove it!"
"Brother Cheng is a wife-protecting maniac!"
Luo Shiliu, Li Jianfeng, Wang Hao, and Xiao Dazhuang ate the roasted chestnuts that Xiao Ling had given them, trying to comfort the wounded little girl who had lost the red envelope.
Bai Lu peeled two roasted chestnuts for Xiao Cheng, and then set off with Xiao Wei and Yu Xiaoling.
Xiao Cheng originally wanted to go with Bai Lu, but as soon as he got up, he was attacked by the four brothers who were the losers on the other side.
"Xiao Cheng, that's enough! You never talk about martial ethics, and now you've even abandoned morality!"
"Nobody just wins money and leaves!"
"Even a red envelope won't do!"
"You have to stay and lose the red envelope before you can leave! Sister-in-law is just going to see a puppet show, not to go to war, what are you worried about!"
Xiao Cheng slightly raised his cold eyes, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression: "Who said I was worried? Do I need to ask your permission to accompany my wife to see a puppet show?"
Good heavens!
No more hiding it!
A blatant and overt favoritism!
Bai Lu chuckled helplessly under the resentful stares of the four unfortunate brothers who had lost four games in a row.
He explained softly to Xiao Cheng, "Xiao Ling, Xiao Wei, and I will go out and take a look first. If it's a puppet show we've already seen, we'll come back and continue watching you play cards."
"If it's a piece of music you haven't seen before, stay and watch it for a while, then come back."
Finally, she whispered in his ear, "I promise I won't run around."
Xiao Cheng glanced at her, his eyes clearly saying, "You're lying to me." "When have your promises ever been valid?"
Bai Lu huffed angrily, grabbed Xiao Wei with one hand and Yu Xiaoling with the other, and turned to leave.
"I'll show you this time that it works."
Xiao Cheng: "..."
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Makoto got dumped!"
"Your sister-in-law doesn't want you anymore, she left on her own! And she took Xiaowei and the adorable Xiaoling with her!"
"Stop talking, Brother Cheng is getting angry." Xiao Dazhuang chivalrously pulled Luo Shiliu aside.
He couldn't care less about Li Jianfeng; that guy was being slashed with a knife, and he wasn't going to help.
After playing both the good cop and the bad cop, the four brothers, who had been through thick and thin together, finally received special treatment from the big boss after successfully keeping him around.
Losing four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten in a row...
"Brother Cheng, please calm down!"
“If you keep killing, we’ll only give you 50-cent red envelopes. Then your sister-in-law will open them and find only 50 cents each time. Let’s see how she tries to take them from you…”
...
Bai Lu and Yu Xiaoling walked and ate roasted chestnuts while chatting.
Xiao Wei followed behind, counting the red envelopes in his pocket one by one. He had received a lot of red envelopes today.
This year was the happiest New Year he had ever had.
"Lulu..."
As Yu Xiaoling chatted, she seemed hesitant to speak. Bai Lu noticed her slightly embarrassed expression and was quite surprised. Yu Xiaoling was usually very lively and cheerful, so it was interesting that she could be so shy and timid.
"What's wrong?" Bai Lu chuckled. "Just say what's on your mind. We're not strangers."
