Chapter 200 The Boss's Protective Umbrella
When everyone suggested buying an electric stir-fry machine yesterday, Xiao Cheng's face turned ashen.
Bai Lu admired Wang Cuihua's courage for coming to buy today, but when it came to not selling, she simply said, "I won't sell."
"If you won't sell it to me, are you planning to sell it to someone else? Bai Lu, how can you be so biased?"
Wang Cuihua looked heartbroken and sad: "My brother Abiao and Brother Xiao Cheng are brothers. Logically speaking, you and I are the closest. How could you sell the electric chestnut roasting machine to someone else? What you did was wrong..."
In order to buy an electric chestnut roasting machine, Wang Cuihua tried every possible means and even used her connections with her siblings.
In the end, Bai Lu rejected him.
I was so angry I almost cried.
The moment she saw Xiao Cheng come out, she finally couldn't hold back anymore: "Brother Xiao Cheng..."
Wang Cuihua's face, painted with rouge and blush, shed two tears, her tear-streaked face a pitiful sight.
"Xiaowei went to school. Can you give me a ride this time? I'm not fat, I can sit with you guys."
Bai Lu and Xiao Wei truly sympathized with Wang Cuihua's courage. Xiao Cheng's impatience was so obvious, yet she couldn't see it and still had the audacity to go over and cry.
The small tricycles had limited cargo capacity and were clearly not the best choice of vehicle. Yu Fugui and others, relying on Xiao Cheng's influence, rented brick trucks from the brick factory owner, but they didn't know how to drive them.
After everyone greeted Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu, they began to assign tasks, deciding who would share a brick cart with whom.
Of course, the chestnuts that Chen Dafu bought in the countryside would be put in the car, and Xiao Cheng would drive them back.
They kept arguing as soon as they went out.
Bai Lu locked the door, stepped onto the brick cart that Xiao Cheng had driven to the door, and was about to close the door when a hand grabbed her.
"Brother Xiao Cheng, roasting chestnuts is so difficult! I practiced for ages last night, and my hands are all red from the effort..."
The boss's impatience had piled up to a mountain, and it looked like he was about to unleash a ton of cold knives.
"Bai Lu, I'd like to ride in the same car with you."
"A person who has gone mad cries and howls like a ghost early in the morning."
Chen Dafu and Wang Cuihua rushed out the door in a flash, bumping into each other at the entrance.
But a surprised voice from outside the door beat her to it: "Wang Cuihua, what's gotten into you so early in the morning?"
"You're the one who's crazy!"
Asking her from such a distance, are you waiting for her to walk over by herself? Of course you are.
As he spoke, he reached out to close the door.
He decisively hid behind and joined forces with Bailu, tilting his head slightly to watch the fierce battle ahead.
Bai Lu was just wondering what excuse to use when she heard this. She pulled the blanket around herself tighter, covered her mouth, and yawned sleepily. "I'm so sleepy. I need to take a nap. If I fall asleep, my legs will kick around. If I accidentally kick you off the bus, it will be dangerous. You should go sit in another bus."
When Wang Cuihua saw Bai Lu get into Xiao Cheng's car, she lost all interest in arguing and rushed over to share a ride.
Bai Lu finally opened the door. If she hadn't, the neighbors passing by would have thought she was bullying them.
Wang Cuihua felt that it must be because she didn't shed enough tears that Xiao Cheng didn't see her crying, which is why he was so heartless, forgetting to even offer comfort and directly asking about the matter.
In an instant, tears streamed down her face like a fountain. Wang Cuihua cried as she stretched out her red, swollen hand, looking pitiful.
If Wang Cuihua hadn't been the last to speak, she wouldn't have believed that Xiao Cheng was talking to her.
They blinked in perfect unison, then looked up at the cold-faced boss.
"I'm here to see which crazy person is buying an electric chestnut roasting machine."
Wang Cuihua bought all the chestnuts left over from before the White Dew solar term. She wouldn't need to buy any more for a while; she could just place an order.
Bai Lu knocked on the door with her key, but the two people inside either didn't hear her or were too engrossed in their argument to respond.
Initially annoyed by the noise and wanting to speak up to drive it away, he stopped himself amidst the suppressed laughter and breathing behind him.
Chen Dafu and Wang Cuihua, who were arguing, were not invited.
Bai Lu and Xiao Wei simultaneously smelled the smoke of gunpowder.
"A beggar's chicken that's gone mad."
Bai Lu is a very kind person. She would never laugh at others early in the morning; instead, she would hide behind Xiao Cheng to cover her face.
Of the entire ten sales teams, only Lu Shi's partners on those three sales routes knew how to drive brick trucks; the rest didn't, so they had to hire drivers to haul goods as well.
"I'm going to lock the door."
It's not laughter if you don't make a sound.
Such a novel way of greeting instantly forced Wang Cuihua's tears back; who else but Chen Dafu could do that?
To everyone's surprise, as soon as the door opened, Xiao Cheng, who was walking out, immediately stopped in his tracks.
Everyone is about to set off for Xiao Family Village.
"You're the one who's crazy!" Wang Cuihua's tears suddenly stopped flowing, and she angrily roared at Chen Dafu.
Before leaving yesterday, Xiao Cheng asked Yu Fugui and others to rent a truck from the brick factory owner to transport chestnuts.
Wang Cuihua, enraged and embarrassed, her chest heaving violently, retorted, "You came all this way just to buy an electric chestnut roasting machine, what right do you have to talk to me like that!"
Wang Cuihua selectively ignored Xiao Cheng's address of "sister-in-law" and looked at Bai Lu with concern: "The mountain road to the countryside is so bumpy, you'll bump into the car door if you fall asleep. Why don't I get in the car and help you?"
“I have to roast so many chestnuts to sell every day, and my hands will definitely get blisters from constantly stirring them. How am I supposed to cook and do laundry then… Brother Xiao Cheng, you don’t sell chestnuts anymore, so the electric chestnut roasting machine is just a waste. Why don’t you give it to me…”
Wang Cuihua and Chen Dafu were sworn enemies, natural nemesis, always arguing whenever they met.
Xiao Wei was being unkind; he laughed out loud but immediately covered his mouth, afraid of being stabbed by his older brother.
Chen Dafu took a big step back to avoid being sprayed with Wang Cuihua's spittle before speaking with reason and evidence: "Only a madman would come here early in the morning dressed up and wailing. Bailu said yesterday that she wouldn't sell them. Madmen don't have ears, and they insist on coming here early in the morning to madly buy an electric chestnut roasting machine."
Goodness, they're not even buying it anymore, they're just going to take it.
Bai Lu and Xiao Wei exchanged a glance, and simultaneously saw the words "shameless" in each other's eyes.
After the people and vehicles were assigned, Wang Cuihua and Chen Dafu were still arguing, seemingly determined not to stop until they had decided who was right.
Xiao Wei has already gone to school.
Without saying a word, she took elegant and quick steps and walked to Xiao Cheng's side to watch the show.
Chen Dafu rented the brick truck for Xiao Cheng to drive. Xiao Cheng only gave Bai Lu a ride, so he asked her to share the ride with others.
Sure enough, before he even got close to the three-meter danger zone, he was impatiently and coldly stopped by the big boss: "Get to the point."
She also wanted to ride in Brother Xiao Cheng's car.
The impatience in Xiao Cheng's eyes gradually disappeared.
Xiao Cheng took a white blanket and covered Bai Lu with it: "Your sister-in-law didn't sleep well last night, she needs to sleep today."
Xiao Cheng became a protector.
"Ugly Duckling, you've gone too far!"
Even after Yu Fugui and the others arrived, they still hadn't stopped.
He didn't even come over; instead, he asked from a distance, "What is it?"
"No."
Bai Lu smiled and politely declined: "I like to sleep with my head against A-Cheng's shoulder; it makes me feel very safe."
Xiao Cheng tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel without rhythm, a slight smile playing on his lips.
It wasn't very obvious, but it was enough for Wang Cuihua to see it clearly.
