Chapter 6: The dog bites Lu Dongbin, who doesn’t know the kindness of others!
The person at the door lifted his foot, stepped over the threshold, and walked towards her in small steps.
It's autumn now, and while the daytime temperatures are scorching, the night breeze can still bring a chill. Shi Huai wore a mint green, hazy, halter-neck dress that revealed her slender, snow-white arms. A soft glow fell over her, a gentle warmth and tranquility.
Zhou Jibai's gaze fell on her still-still-rising belly. Without stopping, he immediately looked away, his tone slightly teasing: "It seems like the punishment for stealing the tribute has arrived today. What evil wind could have brought you here?"
Shi Huai didn't understand the meaning of the first half of Zhou Jibai's sentence at first, until he heard the second half.
Her temples were throbbing with anger. She leaned forward slightly and placed the food box in front of Zhou Jibai with a gentle touch. She let out a small tantrum: "He's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, he doesn't know how kind a person is!"
White smoke was coming out of the cigarette in Zhou Jibai's hand. When he saw his wife in front of him, he quickly threw the cigarette butt under his feet and stepped on it, then reached out to disperse the smoke that was drifting towards Shi Huai.
Shi Huai smelled the smoke and immediately took a few steps back, frowning slightly: "Are you annoying?"
Zhou Jibai knew that he was wrong and shouldn't have smoked, and let Shi Huai smell the smoke. He lowered his eyelashes and didn't say anything.
He casually glanced at the food box at his feet: "Why are you here?"
When the smell of smoke dissipated, Shi Huai slowly approached him and said, "Can't you come and see my son's father?"
Zhou Jibai raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he heard Shi Huai say this, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Ancestors, please show yourselves quickly. It seems that your Zhou family's second grandson's wife is possessed by a demon."
Shi Huai's face flushed red, and he couldn't help but reach out and slap Zhou Jibai's arm: "You are the one who is possessed by the monster!"
Zhou Jibai took a deep breath, looked at his angry wife in front of him, and weighed the food box.
Finally, he concluded: "Did you poison the food?"
Shi Huai: ...
She was angered by Zhou Jibai's venomous look and turned around, leaving him with a graceful and slender back.
Zhou Jibai looked at Shi Huai with her back to him in anger, but ignored her and sat on the futon to open the lunch box.
Looking at the steaming food inside, Zhou Jibai couldn't help but curl his lips, "Have you eaten?"
When Shi Huai heard Zhou Jibai asking him, he turned slightly to look at him. Seeing that Zhou Jibai had already started eating, he curled his lips and said, "I poisoned the food, don't eat it."
Zhou Jibai groaned, "I know you want to be a widow, so I just want to fulfill your wish as soon as possible."
Shi Huai: ...
When she was a shrew before, she didn't realize that Zhou Jibai's mouth was so poisonous.
She walked slowly to Zhou Jibai's side, and Zhou Jibai pushed a cushion towards her.
Shi Huai sat down and looked around the ancestral hall.
In fact, from the moment she entered, she noticed that the ancestral hall was a bit cold, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at her, making her feel a little uncomfortable. She was also reborn, and now she still believed in those ghosts and gods.
When you get close to Zhou Jibai, you will gradually feel warmth on your body.
She couldn't help but move closer to Zhou Jibai and asked in a low voice, "It's against the rules for me to bring you food. Will your ancestors be angry with me?"
Zhou Jibai paused while picking up the food and chuckled softly.
Seeing Zhou Jibai's shoulders and head shaking with laughter, Shi Huai frowned and puffed up his cheeks, "I'm serious, otherwise you'd better not eat it."
Who would have thought that the next moment, Zhou Jibai stuffed a piece of Dongpo pork held by his chopsticks into Shi Huai's mouth, his eyes smiling, "The ancestor of the Zhou family is not as unkind as you think."
"If they really wanted to take care of the Zhou family, they would be heartbroken to see their eldest grandson hungry. They would wish I could have two more bowls of rice."
That seems to be the case...
Shi Huai chewed the meat that Zhou Jibai had forced into his mouth without saying a word.
It's strange to say, in her previous life, she had severe morning sickness, and the smell of food would make her vomit violently. Others would gain weight during pregnancy, but she not only didn't gain weight, she actually lost ten pounds, and only gained a little weight in the late stages of pregnancy.
In this life, she didn't react at all, and everything she ate was delicious. Thinking of this, Shi Huai couldn't help but touch her belly.
Seeing Shi Huai's actions, Zhou Jibai threw his coat to Shi Huai and continued to eat.
Shi Huai subconsciously sniffed Zhou Jibai's coat, confirming that there was no smell of smoke but only a faint woody scent, and then he put the coat on with peace of mind.
After finishing the meal, Shi Huai was so sleepy that his eyelids were drooping.
Seeing that Zhou Jibai had finished his meal and packed up the lunch box, Shi Huai yawned, took the lunch box and stood up from the futon.
"Then I'll leave. You continue to guard our ancestors."
Shi Huai was still wearing his coat, which was loose and made her look particularly petite.
Zhou Jibai stood up and said, "Let's go back together."
Shi Huai: "Is it okay if you don't stay in the ancestral hall?"
"It's okay. I'll get up early tomorrow and sneak over here to kneel down."
Shi Huai was amused by Zhou Jibai's crooked ideas.
The couple walked out of the ancestral hall together.
The two bodyguards did not dare to stop them when they saw this. The Second Young Madam was called over by the old lady herself. What if taking the Second Master back was one of the orders?
The two of them didn't sleep in the same room tonight.
Shi Huai didn't say it on his own initiative, so Zhou Jibai naturally wouldn't be so shameless as to ask again. He didn't want to be so eager to please her and upset her.
Shi Huai watched Zhou Jibai walk naturally to the next guest room to sleep, pursed his lips, and didn't know how to start for a moment.
By the time she wanted to say something, Zhou Jibai had already closed the bedroom door.
The next day, the servant woke me up and asked me to go to the restaurant for breakfast.
She asked where Zhou Jibai was, and the servant said that Zhou Jibai had gotten up before daybreak.
He must have gone to the ancestral hall to kneel down to appease his grandmother.
As soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I saw Old Mrs. Zhou frowning and scolding Zhou Jibai. Zhou Jibai listened with a smile and retorted a few words.
"Zhou Jibai, if I catch you stealing tribute again, I'll beat you to death!"
Today, when the servant was cleaning the ancestral hall, he saw an apple core thrown under the altar.
Zhou Jibai: "Yesterday, I was so hungry that my eyes were dizzy and I was not thinking straight. My great grandfather came to me in a dream, crying and saying, Jibai, eat something. Don't starve yourself."
He spoke with earnestness and learned in an effective manner.
Old Madam Zhou was so angry that her temples jumped twice, and she gritted her teeth and wanted to slap Zhou Jibai, the playboy.
Shi Huai couldn't hold back his laughter, and the sound was heard by several people at the table.
Everyone turned around and looked at Shi Huai.
Shi Huai was stared at by everyone and smiled, "Grandma, good morning."
Seeing her granddaughter-in-law coming, Old Mrs. Zhou withdrew her hand.
Zhou Jibai glanced at Shi Huai and said nothing.
"Strange, why haven't Boss and Ayu come yet?"
The dishes were served, but there was no sign of the two people.
This couple always abides by the rules and has never been late. Today is the first time.
As soon as the old lady finished her doubtful words, she heard noises coming from outside the restaurant.
Zhou Xu walked in holding Huanyu, with Ruoyu beside him.
Shi Huai had sharp eyes and noticed at first glance that Ruoyu's walking posture was a little unspirited.
