Chapter 59 Bai Zilin chased Wang Dani away with his words.
Wang Dani hugged her mother's arm and shook it, saying, "Mom, I like Brother Bai. Since Brother Bai has connections, why don't you go and talk to his mother about it? What's so good about that Liu Ye? I heard it all clearly. Brother Bai's sister calls her a big fool, and Brother Bai's mother treats Liu Ye with the cold shoulder. Mom, think about it, if the Bai family really accepted her as their daughter-in-law, why would they treat her like this? They definitely don't like Liu Ye either."
Aunt Wang nodded, agreeing with her daughter: "Alright, when Bai Zilin's parents arrive, I'll propose marriage for you again. Daughter, you also need to be ambitious and spend more time with Bai Zilin. He'll be able to tell who's good and who's bad. Men all like good-looking women."
Wang Dani nodded shyly, "Okay, Mom, I'll go out and take a look now."
Wang Dani left her own house and jogged all the way to Bai Zilin's house. She craned her neck to look into the yard, searching for Bai Zilin.
She saw Bai Zilin standing in the garden and ran over excitedly: "Brother Bai, I have good news for you! I ran into your mother and sister. They live in Sandao Gou Village. Your parents and sister are still alive. They're coming to find you soon. I told your mother that your family is building a new house, and you hunted a wild deer and sold it for a lot of money. Your mother and sister are so happy. Are you happy, Brother Bai?"
Bai Zilin thought to himself, "I'm so happy, you son of a bitch! You idiot, you big bastard, you're acting like a troublemaker!"
Bai Zilin turned and left with a dark face. Wang Dani blinked in confusion, her small, mouse-like eyes wide open. What was going on? Why did Brother Bai seem unhappy knowing that his parents were alive?
She quickly chased after Bai Zilin: "Brother Bai, wait for me! I haven't finished talking to you yet. Your mother and the others are coming soon. I'm telling you the truth..." (ω) Hey
Bai Zilin walked to Liu Ye's door, his face dark, and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Shut up! How dare you call me Brother Bai? I don't know you, and I don't know your family either. Please stay away from me in the future. Ugly people always cause trouble!"
Wang Dani looked aggrieved after being scolded, tears streaming down her face: "Brother Bai, how could you say that to me? I only call you Brother Bai because I like you. What did I do wrong? Waaah, I don't want to live anymore! Bai Zilin, you're bullying me too much! I'm going to tell my parents that you're bullying me. You just wait...!"
Wang Dani stomped her foot and ran home crying. Bai Zilin snorted and turned to go to Liu Ye's house. Liu Ye came back from the fields and found Bai Zilin lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) as soon as she entered the house. He was radiating a low pressure and was obviously angry. Strange, who had offended him? Could it be that the Bai family had already come?
"Brother Bai, what's wrong? Did Bai Shuisheng and the others come by?"
Bai Zilin sat up from the kang (a heated brick bed), sighed, and said, "No, I was angered by Wang Dani. She came over to talk to me earlier, but I scolded her and she ran away!"
Liu Ye laughed as soon as she heard this: "You chased her away, why are you still angry? Don't be angry, I'll make dumplings for you tonight, Brother Bai. What kind of filling do you want? We have chives at home. I just went to check our land and picked some wild vegetables. They're so tender, perfect for fillings."
Bai Zilin grasped Liu Ye's small, dark hand tightly, looking at her with eyes full of affection, and said, "I'll eat anything, as long as it's made by you..."
Liu Ye shyly withdrew her little black hand: "Then I'll make chive and egg filling, with some smoked chicken inside, it'll definitely taste delicious..."
Bai Zilin felt a tingling sensation run through his body as he listened to Liu Ye's soft, sweet voice. He really wanted to press her down on the bed and kiss her hard a few times...
"Okay, then I'll look forward to having dumplings tonight."
Liu Ye suddenly remembered the matter of the mountain land: "Brother Bai, our land is so barren, it's full of trees and weeds. The two of us definitely can't finish it. We need to hire workers. Why don't you ask Liu the bricklayer? If they don't have any work in the winter, let them help us clear the land. What do you think?"
Bai Zilin immediately thought, "Why not? I think it's fine. I'll go ask Liu the bricklayer in a bit. They usually don't have much work in winter, so they should be able to take the job."
Bai Zilin looked out the window with a worried expression, and Liu Ye asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Bai Zilin curled his lips and said, "Wang Dani went home to complain, and I'm afraid the Wang couple will come looking for me to fight."
Liu Ye thought, "What's there to be afraid of? Let them come. It's not like everyone can't fight. In her previous life, she was known as the God of War, and she never lost a verbal battle." She replied, "It's okay. Let them come. You didn't do anything to Wang Dani. By the way, the cow is out of grass. Brother Bai, why don't you go up the mountain to gather some?"
Bai Zilin said with a worried look, "If the Wang couple can't find me, they'll come looking for you to fight. I'll go later."
Liu Ye took Bai Zilin's hand and walked outside, saying, "You can go cut grass without worry. I'm not afraid of them. I'm not someone to be trifled with. We have plenty of grass in our field. Go and cut some."
Bai Zilin nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll go cut the grass. If the Wang couple attacks you, don't hold back. Use whatever's around you to fight them. Just make sure you don't suffer any losses."
Liu Ye smiled and nodded. Was she the type to suffer a loss? "I understand. You should go now."
Bai Zilin took his machete and drove the oxcart up the hillside, leaving Liu Ye at home. She sat waiting for the Wang couple, but they didn't come. She waited and waited until the sun had set, and Liu the bricklayer and his workers had all left. Bai Zilin returned from the mountain with a cartload of grass, but the Wang couple still hadn't come.
Bai Zilin unloaded the hay into the backyard, washed up by the well, and then came to the kitchen. He saw Liu Ye cooking dumplings, and she seemed to be in a good mood, without any injuries. "Liu Ye, have the Wang couple arrived?"
Liu Ye scooped the dumplings onto a plate: "No, I've been waiting all afternoon and they haven't come. I was even thinking of having a big fight with them. Brother Bai, you take the dumplings, and I'll get the chopsticks and bowl."
Bai Zilin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Wang couple had some sense of shame; they knew what kind of person their daughter was, and it would be embarrassing for them to fight with him.
Bai Zilin brought the dumplings to Liu Ye's room and placed them on the table on the kang (a heated brick bed). Liu Ye then brought over bowls and chopsticks, and the two sat down on the kang to eat.
White flour was expensive, so Liu Ye didn't dare make too many dumplings, just two large plates. The dumplings she made weren't small either, each one resembling a little piglet. At Diliuyuan, she ate three or four bites of each dumpling.
Bai Zilin ate them one after another with great relish, but suddenly a wave of sadness washed over him, and his eyes reddened: "Liu Ye, do you believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever eaten dumplings, the first time I've ever eaten white flour dumplings..."
Liu Ye swallowed the dumpling in her mouth and looked at Bai Zilin with heartache. She could feel the sadness on his face, and her heart ached as well. "I believe that we are the same. I have never eaten dumplings or white flour in the Liu family. I learned to make dumplings by secretly watching others. Brother Bai, I will make dumplings for you often in the future, and our lives will get better and better."
