Chapter 61: Green Tea Possession
Xie Yun rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Wang Tingting didn't treat her like an outsider at all. The other party was Wang Shufen's niece, and they couldn't afford to give her a hard time.
Xie Yun, wanting to avoid the sight and sound, went straight back to her room.
The senior high school class she taught has finished its exams and is on vacation for more than a month.
This afternoon, I had a cotton quilt made for Baizhi's bed and bought her a blanket. The room hadn't been lived in before, so it smelled a bit musty. I ventilated it overnight, and I'll have Baizhi move there tomorrow.
When Bai Zhi gets off work, they need to tell the old man about this.
Everyone went back to their rooms. Grandpa Lu was resting in his bedroom, while Wang Shufen sat alone in the living room, eating sunflower seeds and watching TV.
......
When Bai Zhi came home from get off work, the food was already on the table.
Plump, yellow crabs, bright red shrimp, milky white fish soup with tofu, and cold dishes—the table was laden with food, quite a feast.
Old Master Lu had already gotten up. When he saw Bai Zhi return, his stern face immediately broke into a smile.
"Is Xiaozhi off work?"
Aunt Zhang greeted him with a loving expression.
"Xiao Zhi, you look so hot, go wash your face."
Because Bai Zhi was about the same age as Zhang Ma's daughter, Zhang Ma felt sorry for her every time she saw her struggling to make a living.
Wang Shufen and Wang Tingting went to cause trouble for Bai Zhi in the afternoon. In order to avoid Lu Lao and the others noticing anything amiss, Wang Shufen tried her best to act normal towards Bai Zhi.
Lu Shaoan glanced at Bai Zhi, then at Wang Tingting, who was carrying a rice bowl and swaying her hips as she came out of the kitchen.
He glared at Wang Shufen, who, feeling guilty, quickly avoided Lu Shaoan's gaze and pretended to greet Bai Zhi as if nothing had happened.
"Xiao Zhi, are you feeling hot? Go wash your hands and eat. My niece cooked seafood today, you should try it."
Wang Shufen was full of enthusiasm, while Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly.
That's how fast he changes his expression...
Why would someone be considered a wealthy woman?
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. You're so kind to me."
She looked at Wang Shufen, her face full of flattery and surprise, her voice trembling with tears, "Auntie, you were so fierce at Jishengtang this afternoon, I thought you didn't like me, boohoo..."
Wang Shufen, "!!!"
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lu Shaoan shot her a sharp glare and demanded, "You went to Jishengtang again?"
Old Master Lu's face was also very unpleasant.
Wang Shufen was cursing inwardly, but she still had to smile on her face.
“I didn’t mean to target Xiaozhi. I just wanted to remind Dr. Zhou not to prescribe medicine indiscriminately, otherwise Xiaozhi would be implicated if something went wrong. I meant well and was afraid that Xiaozhi would get hurt.”
Wang Shufen is good at acting, and Bai Zhi is also playing the green tea card. "I know you're threatening me, Aunt, and trying to get me to go back to Bincheng. It's all out of good intentions. But I'm just a pharmacist. If anything happens, my boss will take responsibility and won't involve me. Don't worry about me. I won't be going back to Bincheng for the time being."
Bai Zhi's words clearly expressed Wang Shufen's purpose in going to Jishengtang today.
Wang Shufen was deliberately threatening her to scare her away.
Lu Shaoan gritted his teeth; if everyone hadn't been there, he would have wanted to beat up Wang Shufen.
Old Master Lu's face also darkened.
Xie Yun did not expect that Wang Shufen would persist in trying to get Bai Zhi to leave Nancheng.
A surge of anger also rose within her.
They knew perfectly well what Wang Shufen's intentions were.
What will happen to Lu Ye in Bai Zhiruo's family after Wang Shufen drives her away?
In order to keep her family from finding out about Lu Ye's affair and to avoid angering the old man, she had no choice but to endure it.
After the old man rested, she spoke with Wang Shufen alone.
Xie Yun took a deep breath and said, "Zheng'an isn't coming home for dinner today, let's eat."
Lu Shan went downstairs and helped Old Master Lu to his seat.
The atmosphere at the Lu family was tense, and Wang Tingting, who had been busy all afternoon, was also neglected.
Wang Tingting felt indignant; her aunt truly had no status in the Lu family.
Bai Zhi, this country girl, was able to stir everyone's emotions with just a few words.
She was so fierce when she was at the pharmacy, but now she's pretending to be weak!
She concealed the coldness in her eyes, smiled as she arranged the dishes, and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandpa Lu, Uncle, please sit down and try my cooking. I've been busy all afternoon."
"Thanks for your hard work."
After they sat down, Grandpa Lu first put a large crab on Bai Zhi's plate, saying, "Little Zhi, come and have a crab."
Bai Zhi took the bowl, said thank you, and said, "Grandpa Lu, I can get it myself."
Wang Tingting had worked hard all afternoon, but as soon as Grandpa Lu came up, he put crabs on Bai Zhi's plate, while treating her so coldly. A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
"Everyone eat."
Old Lu said to Wang Tingting, "Tingting, you've worked hard today. Go to work hard in the future. Xiao Zhang will take care of the cooking here. You young people can go do your own things and don't need to bother us anymore."
Wang Tingting, however, appeared understanding, obedient, and filial. "Grandpa Lu, it's no trouble at all. I felt so bad when I heard you were sick. I really feel sorry for you. I will come over every day to make you some nourishing soup."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu looked terrified and hurriedly refused, "No need, no need for you to come every day."
I come over every day to make him soup...
Wouldn't his future granddaughter-in-law misunderstand?
Lu Shaoan said in an unhappy tone, "Tingting, eat quickly and go back early after you finish eating."
"oh."
Wang Tingting's eyes were filled with disappointment.
She took a deep breath, a slight smile playing on her lips, and enthusiastically placed a shrimp on Baizhi's plate. "Baizhi, you're eating shrimp. You probably haven't had much opportunity to eat seafood before. You know how to peel shrimp, right?"
She asked with concern, "Would you like me to peel it for you?"
Bai Zhi: "Okay, peel it."
Wang Tingting, "..."
She originally intended to embarrass Bai Zhi, but she didn't expect this country girl to be so honest.
With everyone watching, Wang Tingting had no choice but to pick up a shrimp, peel it, and put it into Bai Zhi's bowl.
Bai Zhi didn't stand on ceremony and picked up a piece to eat.
After finishing his meal, he picked up another one, peeled it skillfully in a few quick movements, and placed it in Old Lu's bowl.
"Grandpa Lu, please have some."
Judging from how skillfully she peeled the shrimp, she didn't seem like someone who had never seen shrimp before.
Wang Tingting realized she had been tricked, and she was so angry that her makeup almost came off.
Wang Tingting continued to take deep breaths, trying not to lose her composure.
At this moment, you must hold back!
She gave a sweet smile and asked Grandpa Lu in a coquettish tone, "Grandpa Lu, did the shrimp I made taste good?"
What good is it for Bai Zhi to peel shrimp for the old man and curry favor? She's the one who cooked the shrimp.
"Yes, it's good."
Old Master Lu's affirmation instantly restored Wang Tingting's confidence. She then looked at Bai Zhi and asked arrogantly, "Can you cook? I heard that people in your hometown eat potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?"
Bai Zhi focused on cooking, "You know quite a lot."
She ate another crab, and I must say, it was incredibly delicious. The prawns were also very flavorful.
Wang Tingting's cooking skills are indeed quite good.
She can win a man's heart through his stomach.
Bai Zhi noticed that Wang Shufen was happily eating a large crab that weighed at least five ounces, and her expression turned slightly serious.
For Wang Shufen's illness, eating seafood is the worst thing she can do.
When Wang Shufen met Bai Zhi's gaze, she assumed that Bai Zhi wanted to eat the crab in her hand, so she generously tore off a crab leg for her and pretended to be concerned, "Xiao Zhi, I know you rarely get to eat these, so you can have them all."
Bai Zhi, "..."
