Chapter 139 Moving to a New House, the Neighbors are Acquaintances
Bai Zilin frowned and looked at Granny Wu: "Is this what you asked me to do?"
Grandma Wu nodded: "Yes, do you agree? If you agree, you will marry Xincao in three days. Auntie will decorate your new house right away. You don't need to pay anything. Auntie will take care of all the expenses. At that time, Auntie will also bring people to welcome you home in a lively atmosphere. You can make any requests you have, and Auntie will agree to them."
Bai Zilin's face turned cold, and he refused without any politeness: "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but in this life, I, Bai Zilin, will only marry Liu Ye. If there's nothing else, Auntie, I'll take my leave!"
Just as Bai stood up, Wu Xincao remembered jumping off the kang (a heated brick bed) and reaching out to block the doorway: "Brother Bai, don't go yet! I... I'm willing to be your concubine. As long as you marry me, I'm willing to be your concubine. Please marry me! I love you. If you marry me, everything in my house will be yours. I'm also willing to serve Liu Ye and you. Please agree to this marriage, just out of pity for me..."
As Wu Xincao spoke, tears streamed down her face. She looked pitifully at Bai Zilin with her eyes half-closed. Bai Zilin slowly reached out his hand to Wu Xincao. Upon seeing this, Wu Xincao was overjoyed and shyly extended her small hand as well. Bai Zilin grabbed Wu Xincao's arm and threw her onto the kang (a heated brick bed): "Hmph, ugly people always cause trouble!"
Bai Zilin strode out of the Wu family's courtyard. Wu Xincao got up from the kang (a heated brick bed) and chased after him out of the house, shouting loudly at Bai Zilin, "Brother Bai, Brother Bai, sob sob sob."
Bai Zilin continued walking forward without turning his head. Zhao Hanzi heard the noise at home and quickly came out. He saw Wu Xincao standing at the door crying with tears streaming down her face. He was heartbroken and asked, "Xincao, what's wrong?"
Wu Xincao wiped away her tears sadly, turned around and went back into the courtyard. Zhao Hanzi was about to follow her in when Wu Xincao slammed the gate shut behind her, almost causing him to bump into it.
Zhao Hanzi rubbed his nose: "Damn it, they're both orphans and widows and they're still so arrogant!"
He looked towards Bai Zilin's house at the end of the village: "Hmph! So what if you've got your eye on Bai Zilin? His fiancée is so beautiful, only I would be interested in an ugly girl like you..." ╮(￣▽￣)╭
When Bai Zilin returned home, he didn't hide anything from Liu Ye. He recounted what had happened: "I almost burst out laughing when Granny Wu finished telling me. She really dares to think of such things!"
Liu Ye rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "There are all kinds of birds in a big forest, but I really didn't expect that Granny Wu would agree to you taking a concubine. It seems that Wu Xincao really has her eye on you. Brother Bai, you are really lucky in love."
Bai Zilin didn't want that kind of head; he only needed Liu Ye: "I only want you, my peach blossom. Let's move to town tomorrow. It's almost New Year's, and I want some peace and quiet for the holidays."
Liu Ye thought so too: "Okay, let's move tomorrow. Anyway, there's not much to take from the house, just the quilts. Oh, and the meat in the vat under the window, Brother Bai, please remember that tomorrow. We also need to take a cartload of hay and the sauerkraut vat."
Bai Zilin looked at Liu Ye's little mouth and felt a little itchy. His throat tightened. He slowly moved closer to Liu Ye, put his arm around her waist and pressed her down on the kang. He opened his mouth and kissed her cherry lips passionately. His big hands were also restless, moving up and down. His silly girl was getting bigger again. (10,000 words omitted here...)
Bai Zilin ran back to his room with a flushed face. Liu Ye also blushed and shyly got up from the kang (a heated brick bed), her hands trembling as she put on her open clothes. Brother Bai was really something, he kissed her so hard it hurt. She rubbed the two lumps of flesh on her chest, her nipples hurting so much, they must be broken...
After Liu Ye finished cooking lunch, Bai Zilin shyly came out of the house and awkwardly went to the kitchen: "I...I'll help you start the fire."
Liu Ye shoved the rice bowl into his hands: "Why light a fire? I've already cooked the rice. Come eat in the house, and we'll pack up this afternoon."
Bai Zilin nodded with a flushed face, carried the rice bowl to Liu Ye's room, placed it on the kang table, and then went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks. Liu Ye put the dishes on the table, and then she and Bai Zilin sat on the kang to eat. The meal was very quiet. Unlike usual, Bai Zilin did not talk while eating. Today he was very quiet, and his face remained flushed.
Liu Ye tried to make conversation, but things had gotten a bit too intimate between the two of them this morning. It seemed like Brother Bai had run back to his room and was probably doing something...
"After the two finished eating, they started packing. Bai Zilin loaded half a cart of hay, moved the meat jar onto the cart, put the roe he had hunted yesterday on the cart, and that was about it. The bedding and sauerkraut jar could be put away tomorrow, otherwise they would freeze tonight if put away now."
Bai Zilin had finished his work all afternoon and was able to speak normally with Liu Ye: "Liu Ye, you don't need to get up so early tomorrow. We don't have much to do in town. The houses in town are all cleaned up. After we move, I'll go to the yamen to see General Wang and give him the roe deer."
Liu Ye dusted herself off and said, "Okay."
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. Bai Zilin loaded the remaining things onto the cattle farm and drove to the gate. Liu Ye locked the gate, sat down by the oxcart, and went with Bai Zilin to the newly purchased house. After unloading the oxcart and tying it to the side, Bai Zilin carried the deer to the county government office.
Liu Ye carried Bai Zilin's bedding to the large room with four rooms on the east side, lit the stove for him, and then took a broom to the front door to sweep away the dirt and weeds.
Just then, the door across the hall suddenly opened, and a master and servant couple walked out. Liu Ye casually glanced up and was immediately stunned. What a small world! Wasn't this Miss Qin, whom they had met on the road? Could the house across the hall be theirs?
Qin Qiaoyun was also stunned when she saw the pretty willow leaf. What a beautiful girl! She then looked at the willow leaf's chest and thought, "Wow, it's so big!" She looked down at her own chest and saw that it was flat and empty, which made her very envious.
Qin Qiaoyun didn't recognize Liu Ye. At that time, Liu Ye was dressed in tattered clothes and her hair was always disheveled; no one could recognize her.
Suppressing her jealousy, Qin Qiaoyun smiled sweetly at Liu Ye and asked, "Did you move in recently?"
Liu Ye nodded lightly, her tone indifferent and detached: "Oh, I just bought it today."
Qin Qiaoyun heard Liu Ye's voice and suddenly felt that it sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a moment: "Oh, my name is Qin Qiaoyun, what's your name? You can come to my house to play if you don't have time."
Liu Ye thought to herself, "I'm not going." She replied, "My name is Liu Ye. I'll come visit you when I have time."
Upon hearing her name, Liu Ye, Qin Qiaoyun immediately recalled the wretched girl she had encountered on the road, who also seemed to be named Liu Ye. She immediately scrutinized Liu Ye with sharp eyes. Impossible, that wretched girl couldn't possibly be so beautiful. It must be someone with the same name. There are many people with similar voices, so they definitely aren't the same person.
"Willow Leaf, that's a nice name. Come visit me sometime. I have to go out today, so I'll be going now."
