Chapter 16 Envy Xiao Cheng

Li Shuixian looked forward to the stars and the moon. She had been looking forward to the white dew all day, but she didn't dare to go to Xiao Cheng's house.

 Knowing that Bai Lu would come to the vegetable market to buy vegetables every day, he came early to wait, and finally he was blocked.

 “Lulu, I finally see you.”

Bai Lu was not surprised at all that he would meet her here and deliberately asked: "Are you here to buy groceries too?"

The plastic bags that were first introduced in the small town were too expensive and had not yet spread to the vegetable market. At this time, people still carried a vegetable basket from home and bought the vegetables and took them home.

Li Shuixian had nothing in her hands, and it was obviously unconvincing to buy groceries, but she still nodded and said nonsensically: "Yeah, what groceries are you going to buy tonight?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's take a look first." Bai Lu said and walked towards the vegetable stall, wandering left and right.

Li Shuixian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

There were people coming and going in the vegetable market, and occasionally she would meet acquaintances and relatives, so it was not easy for her to directly ask Bai Lu for money.

“Lulu, do you want to come and sit at my place? Anyway, you haven’t decided what to buy yet, so it’s not too late to come over later.” Li Shuixian reached out to hold Bai Lu’s arm.

Bai Lu inadvertently gave way to the passer-by, staggered her hand, and moved the vegetable basket to another hand, which happened to be in the direction where Li Shuixian was.

 Prevent her from doing anything again.

 Unmoved, he continued to visit the vegetable market: “The food you order later will not be fresh anymore, so it’s better to buy it now.”

Walking to a fish stall, Bai Lu stopped and the fish boss gave him a long-handled fish bag with a wink.

Li Shuixian looked disgusted: "If this fish doesn't move, it must be dead."

The fish boss immediately paddled the water with his hand, and the pond fish that had just calmed down in the fish pond immediately fled in all directions.

 It is self-evident whether he is dead or alive.

Being slapped in the face on the spot, Li Shuixian turned his attention to another fish pond and said, "Lulu, the fish here are not fresh at first sight. You will turn white when you look at them."

The fish boss’s face darkened, but since peace is the most important thing in business, he didn’t say anything and paddled into the water with his hand.

The grass carp with a white belly immediately turned over and swam around in the pool as if it had woken up.

One of them even slapped Li Shuixian in the water.

Li Shuixian became furious on the spot: "Did you do this on purpose? Didn't I just tell you that your fish is not fresh, so you chased the fish and gave me the water? Do you do this kind of business?"

It only took three things. Boss Yu knew that she was here to cause trouble, so he immediately stopped being indifferent to her.

 “Would you like to buy it or not?”

“You have a bad character, you talk nonsense, you’ve been scolded by a fish, and you still falsely accuse others. I don’t think you’re a good person! If you can’t afford it, don’t come here to get crazy!”

Li Shuixian has been a boss lady for several months. She likes to take advantage of small things and has a few small coins in her hands.

How can she bear to be told that she is poor?

His temper quickly came to the fore: "Whoever you say is crazy can't afford it! I, a proprietress of a grocery store, can't afford your half-dead smelly fish!"

“If you open a grocery store and you are so venomous, you must have no business.” The fish boss knows best what businessmen are afraid of.

Li Shuixian was completely ignited. Regardless of the increasing number of people watching around him, he quarreled with Boss Yu on the spot. Boss Yu refused to show weakness and rebutted every word.

Bai Lu leisurely exited the battlefield.

 Before exiting, he also used the long-handled fish bag to poke the snakehead nest in the water.

 The black fish with a powerful tail immediately caused a fishy rain on the scene, and it even rained down on Li Shuixian.

  Add fuel to her anger.

As expected, Li Shuixian got even more quarrelsome and even wanted to fight with Boss Yu.

The onlookers watched it with great interest.    —

While eating dinner in the evening, there was a knock on the door outside. Just as Bai Lu was about to get up, Xiao Cheng had already been one step ahead of her, put down the bowl and chopsticks and went out to open the door.

Xiao Wei silently sat back on the stool he had just left his buttocks on.

Wang Hao outside the door was dusty and his face was angry and angry: "Brother Cheng, the battlefield doesn't sell sand to us. I asked an acquaintance and found out that Li Chengbin was behind it."

Wang Hao was angry, but also felt guilty. It was all because he mentioned the debt repayment when he met Li Chengbin, and this series of bad things happened.

He didn't dig the foundation in the afternoon. He originally wanted to complete the tasks assigned by Xiao Cheng and bring the salad back early.

 Hands on the price by the way to make up for the mistake.

Unexpectedly, I stumbled again and nothing was done.

Xiao Cheng thought for a moment. Li Chengbin's revenge this time was probably more than just compensation.

“Have you asked all the battlefields in the city?”

Wang Hao nodded: "We have asked, but no one is willing to sell sand for us. If we go to Nanshi to buy it, the gas money spent on the road will be enough to buy several times the sand."

The town is close to the city center, and Nanshi is the nearest neighboring city, but the gains outweigh the losses.

Wang Hao was so angry that he punched the wall: "Damn it, I didn't expect Li Chengbin to be so shady. He lost all his money and was still doing these dirty tricks behind his back."

Violent thoughts began to arise in Xiao Cheng's mind, but the next second, he was dismissed by the sudden sound of a girl's voice.

"Is it Wang Hao? Have you eaten? We are eating. If you haven't eaten, just eat and then go back."

Bai Lu walked out slowly and stood next to Xiao Cheng, saying hello with a smile.

 She had eaten all the food for every meal before, but today she deliberately cooked more. An extra pair of bowls and chopsticks would be enough.

Wang Hao didn't know that Xiao Cheng was eating. In the past, Xiao Cheng would just eat something outside to cope with the trouble. Even if he went home to eat, he would just fry rice or cook noodles. At this time, he was across the yard. The hot food smells so delicious that I can't stop it. You don't need to think about it, it must be made by Bai Lu.

 What a virtuous person, but he came at the wrong time.

“Thank you, sister-in-law. Chunli has already cooked and is waiting for me at home. I just came over to talk to Brother Cheng about something.”

 In this case, Xiao Cheng didn't keep him, "I'll check it out later."

Wang Hao knew that his words meant that he would inform them if he had an idea, so he said hello and did not linger.

 Just after turning around, his smiling face turned bitter and lonely.

There was no ready meal waiting for him at home. From the first day she was confirmed to be pregnant, Chen Chunli became the empress dowager. She did nothing but sat and lay down waiting for food every day.

His mother has an eye disease and cannot use her eyes well. Not only does she have to take care of her father, but she also has to cook and wash clothes every day.

Today, my mother had a bad cold and couldn't get up to cook. Chen Chunli didn't do it either. He did it after he got back from work.

 Otherwise, where would there be food to eat...

Wang Hao never thought that he, who had both parents, would one day envy Xiao Cheng.

 The laundry work in the evening was taken over by Xiao Cheng again. He even washed the pots and pans after dinner.

  It was really an unexpected surprise and a horror to see how Bai Lu and Xiao Wei knew him, breaking the record again.

Before going to bed, Bai Lu saw Xiao Cheng frowning several times and couldn't help but ask: "Did Wang Hao come to you, did he encounter any trouble?"

Xiao Cheng was leaning on the head of the bed, his brows furrowed, his left leg uncovered by the quilt lying flat, his right leg bent, his hand casually resting on his knee, playing with an unlit cigarette with his slender fingertips, looking sideways when he heard the sound Blinded.
