Chapter 457: What do you think of my uncle?
Thinking of this, Bai Weiwei's mood calmed down a little.
Yes, there was no deep-seated hatred between her and Bai Zhi.
However, they had a grudge against each other in their previous life because of a marriage swap.
Actually, upon closer reflection, in her previous life she had endured the monster Lu Ya for three years in the Lu family on behalf of Bai Zhi.
What is there to resent about Angelica dahurica?
Bai Weiwei lost all interest in roasting sweet potatoes and quickly packed up her stall to go home.
She's going to bring up the topic of divorce with Zhao Kai tonight.
She had mentioned it during a previous argument, which resulted in Zhao Kai losing control of his emotions and having an outburst.
He was convinced that she was leaving him because she disliked his sexual dysfunction.
Of course, this is also one of the most important reasons.
She's not some naive young girl; how could she possibly live with a man who's impotent? It would be fine if he were rich, but right now he has no hope for his career.
In her previous life, she lived as a widow in the Lu family for three years. After Lu Ye died, she dated several muscular men.
He received great satisfaction in that aspect.
After being reborn and getting together with Zhao Kai, their married life has never been harmonious.
At first, he lacked physical strength, which she attributed to the harsh conditions in the countryside and his poor nutrition.
After moving to the city, we each lived in our own dormitories, and we rarely had the chance to be together.
Then, Zhao Kai was seriously injured in the collision.
That Dr. Ye insisted that Zhao Kai was fine.
They believed it too.
As a result, it's now completely useless.
She's so young, she has nothing to offer, why not just stay and celebrate the New Year?
Ye Tiandong's mood was affected by his encounter with Bai Weiwei today, and his face looked very unpleasant the whole way.
He looked at Bai Zhi, his face dark. "Why is that woman still in Nancheng? What does she mean by this? Don't let her try to extort you."
Bai Zhi glanced at him, but her tone was relaxed. "Uncle, what can she extort from me? I have nothing to do with her. Not only her, but I've long since severed ties with the Bai family. They won't get anything from me."
She's already disowned her scumbag father, yet she's still being blackmailed by Bai Weiwei?
Bai Weiwei, that idiot, only wants to live a good life, but she doesn't even have the basic survival skills.
If her brain hadn't malfunctioned, Bai Weiwei should have been able to understand what she said today.
If that woman knew she had also been reborn, her expression would be priceless.
"Let's go home and make corn noodles." In a good mood, she took Cui Hua's hand and walked ahead.
Ye Tiandong paused for a few seconds, then followed.
Given his niece's mental state, he really doesn't need to worry about her being bullied.
After returning home, Bai Zhi and Cui Hua went into the kitchen.
She said, "Sister Cui, it's a bit cold in the kitchen, don't take off your coat."
She brought over an apron and tied it on Cui Hua.
Cui Hua smiled and said, "It's not very cold. Let's boil some water first."
"Okay, then I'll cook the vegetables, and you can make the noodles." Bai Zhi boiled water, washed all the pots and pans, and started washing the vegetables.
She hadn't made corn noodles in so long and was afraid she'd mess it up.
She remembered that making corn noodles was different from making wheat noodles; it was a skill.
Especially the ratio of cornmeal to wheat flour.
If there is too much cornmeal, it will not mix together properly.
If there's too little cornmeal, it won't taste right.
She had never cooked for her uncle before, and was really afraid of making a mistake and being laughed at by him.
Today, let's give Cui Hua a chance to showcase her culinary skills and win him over through his stomach.
Cui Hua was clearly a professional and skilled cook. She put on an apron and transformed into a professional and capable chef. She scooped half a bowl of cornmeal into a basin, then scalded the flour with boiling water, stirring vigorously with chopsticks as she did so.
Once the dough is well mixed, add the white flour and start kneading.
Scalding the dough with boiling water is a crucial step in making corn noodles.
Increase the stickiness of the cornmeal.
I stir-fried some angelica root with chili peppers and also pickled some chives.
With nothing to do, Ye Tiandong went in and out several times. Seeing the two women busy, he didn't sit idle either. After Bai Zhi finished cooking, he planned to help serve the dishes.
Cui Hua was surprised that Ye Tiandong would come to the kitchen to help.
She thought that her niece held a special place in his heart.
When Cui Hua saw Ye Tiandong about to carry the plates, she said, "Boss Ye, you leave them there, we'll carry them."
Ye Tiandong expressed his dissatisfaction with Cui Hua's way of addressing him, saying, "What do you mean by 'boss'? There's no need to be so polite during my break."
Cui Hua glanced at him with a strange expression.
He thought to himself that he had been calling him "boss" for so many years and had never raised any objections.
If she's not allowed to call him that now, what will she call him during her breaks?
Bai Zhi chimed in, "That's right, Sister Cui, you're not even at work yet, why are you calling the boss so distant? You've known each other for a long time."
"You can just call me Lao Ye or Dong Ge, that's fine too."
Cui Hua, "......"
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ye Tiandong's expression suddenly became uncomfortable. He coughed lightly, turned around, and left the kitchen.
Dong Ge...
As soon as Ye Tiandong left, Bai Zhi approached Cui Hua with a smile and asked,
"Sister Cui, what do you think of my uncle?"
Cui Hua had already rolled out the noodles and was now sprinkling dry flour on them, intending to spread it evenly before cutting the noodles.
She casually remarked, "A very good boss."
"I'm not referring to his work ability, I mean... what do you think of him as a person?" Bai Zhi looked at her with bright eyes, trying to see the expression she wanted to see on her face.
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Cui Hua paused slightly, and after a long while, she finally spoke, "It's fine."
Bai Zhi chimed in, "It's just that your eyesight wasn't very good before, and you couldn't judge people well, right?"
Cui Hua's lips twitched slightly upon hearing Bai Zhi's words.
I agree with it in my heart.
Bai Zhi spoke her mind, words she dared not utter.
It's not just that his eyesight is bad.
They're completely blinded by greed.
She laughed and said, "Miss Bai, only you would dare to say something like that."
“That’s the truth, what’s there to be afraid of saying?” Bai Zhi first complained about Ye Tiandong, then sighed, “Actually, you can’t blame my uncle. Being deceived by a woman just shows that he’s a blank slate when it comes to relationships, he has no experience. So when that woman uses a little trickery, he falls for it.”
Cui Hua declined to comment on this.
Bai Zhi continued, "As you know, my uncle didn't get along with my maternal grandfather, and my maternal grandmother and mother passed away early. Over the years, he probably had very little contact with women, and no one taught him how to understand women, so..."
As Bai Zhi spoke, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
My uncle is also someone who lacks love.
So when Li Li got close to him, she not only threw herself into his arms but also offered him warmth, and her uncle simply couldn't resist.
She lamented, "My uncle is quite pitiful too."
Cui Hua lowered her eyes, gave a bitter smile, and muttered, "I think he's just a looks-obsessed person, easily bewitched by pretty women."
“Li Li isn’t that pretty either,” Bai Zhi said with a chuckle as she looked at Cui Hua. “I think she’s not even as pretty as you.”
Bai Zhi's words made Cui Hua pause slightly.
She turned her face away uncomfortably, a dark red stain appearing on her neck. "Miss Bai, please don't joke with me. I'm already old."
