Chapter 95 The Truth Revealed...

Back home, Xiao Cheng boiled hot water, scooped it into a bucket as usual, and carried it to the bathroom.

After flushing some cold water, and checking the temperature that Bai Lu usually used, he asked Bai Lu to take a bath.

After Bai Lu took a shower, Xiao Cheng took a shower.

After going to the hospital, it was obvious what happened to the child. Bai Lu felt a little uncomfortable seeing Xiao Cheng washing clothes again. He didn't need to do this again for the sake of the child.

"Let me do the washing." Bai Lu walked to the well and in front of the laundry tub, intending to take over the laundry.

Xiao Cheng didn't raise his head, he continued to rub his clothes, and said lightly: "Go back to sleep."

The voice is flat, without any emotion.

In the broken vat where ginger, onion, and garlic were grown, small crickets chirped cheerfully, and fireflies flapped their wings and flew around the yard, as if they wanted to break the calm of the night with joy.

The disappearing moon came out again at some unknown time, and the silver-white light cast down the tall and lonely back of the man. He was sitting on a small bench, skillfully rubbing his clothes, and his voice was cold and regular like a machine.

Bai Lu knelt down and reached for the laundry tub, trying to wash her own clothes, but the man brushed her away.

He said in a cold voice, "Tell me to go back to sleep."

Xiao Cheng took people to collect the bills, he was used to giving orders, and he didn't like people disobeying him.

Again and again, it is courting death.

Bai Lu knew it, she didn't hold on anymore, silently withdrew her hand, got up, walked across the yard and walked back to the main house.

Go back to the room, open the rightmost drawer of the wooden table, and take out all the money earned during this period.

Count them clearly and put them on the table.

Yuanshen was not favored in his original family, and only wore old clothes, and he didn't bring many with him.

After Bai Lu came here, she was only busy making money, and didn't bother to buy new clothes. After packing up, she only had a cloth bag.

Then put the books and papers given by Lin Jinfan, the cloth bag bulged slightly, but nothing leaked out.

The cloth bag is neither too big nor too small, with a long coarse cloth shoulder strap sewn at both ends, which can only be carried on one shoulder.

Bai Lu also sorted out the record book for the purchase and sale of fried chestnuts, and put the money on the table.

After packing up everything, Bai Lu took the cloth bag to the wooden chair beside the bed and sat down, placing the cloth bag at her feet.

Things must always be made clear, leaving without saying goodbye is not in Bai Lu's deep-rooted family rules and etiquette.

The whole journey back was silent, and, just now in the yard... Bai Lu could sense that Xiao Cheng was angry, probably because she and Li Xuelan cheated him of 3 yuan with a fake pregnancy, or because she knew the truth but never confessed it.

In the end, it was her fault. Whoever asked her to take over this body, whether the cause and effect were good or bad, had to be borne.

No matter how Xiao Cheng wants to retaliate, or let it go, Bai Lu is already mentally prepared for the best and worst outcome.

Sitting on the wooden chair, Bai Lu naturally returned to the upright sitting posture she was accustomed to. Her upper body was straight, her shoulders were straight, her knees were close together, her calves were perpendicular to the ground, her arms were naturally bent, and her hands were folded in the middle of her legs.

Wait in silence.

Xiao Cheng did his laundry tonight, and it took a long, long, long time before he came back.

When he came back, he saw Bai Lu with a smile on his face, sitting on the wooden chair beside the bed. It was a sitting posture that he had never seen before, whether he went to the city or collected debts from wealthy people in the city. The coarse linen clothes could not block the difference For ordinary people, the distinctive temperament has never been seen in others.

Her smile is standard, not sweet.

Her sitting posture is dignified and elegant, which Bai Lu never had before, not even once.

She got up and walked towards the wooden table with a graceful and decent gait, holding the book and money in a relaxed manner.

Come to him, and look at him, clean and clear eyes, without the slightest cowardice.

Even the voice of speaking is no longer the same as before, with ups and downs of agile intonation.

Instead, calmly: "All the money for selling sugar-fried chestnuts during this period is here, a total of 6080 yuan. When selling sugar-fried chestnuts on the first day, the 100 yuan you put on the table is also inside. The top one."

"Wang Cuihua, Yu Fugui, and Wen Xiuyun are all selling sugar-fried chestnuts for three days to settle the bill. The last time was the day before yesterday. The bills for yesterday and today were not settled, and the amount has been recorded in the book. Whoever took how many catties of chestnuts, It’s all clear how much it can sell for.”

"The chestnuts you bought in Xiaojia Village yesterday totaled 350 catties and cost 1870 yuan. The value of the uncooked chestnuts was 1870 yuan plus the net profit of 6080 yuan from the sold sugar-fried chestnuts, and the total value was 7950 yuan."

The notebook and money were handed to him by his slender and white hands, but Xiao Cheng didn't pick them up and didn't even glance at them.

His deep and dark eyes were fixed on Bai Lu.

Bai Lu's heart was as calm as water, her face was as usual, and she continued: "Just now when I went to the hospital for an examination, what the female doctor said to you, you must have imagined that you will not have menstruation when you are pregnant. I am indeed not pregnant."

Xiao Cheng's expression didn't change at all, he was calm and indifferent, looking directly at Bai Lu with deep eyes, as if he was waiting for her to continue.

The memory of the drunken night was completely preserved in Yuanshen's mind. Bai Lu had seen the whole process, and she knew the truth of the matter clearly.

Unhurriedly said: "That night, I was drunk and my mind was dizzy. I was going to the bathroom, but I entered the wrong room of yours. I went to the bathroom and came out, and I saw a bed in the room, so I went to sleep. .”

Her tone was natural and frank, as if she was talking about her own affairs, as if she had experienced it herself.

Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Fragments flashed through my mind.

That night, he, Luo Shiliu, Xiao Dazhuang, and Wang Hao went to a dance hall in the city to collect the bill.

The singing and dancing hall's capital turnover is not enough, the owner Hong Wanfu asked him to give him a grace period of one week, and he agreed.

Hong Wanfu invited them to eat, sing and drink in the dance hall... and even opened a private room for them to sleep.

Liquor, red wine, foreign wine, whiskey... Hong Wanfu drank all the slightly higher-grade wines in the dance hall, and after drinking one round after another...he was drunk.

Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang helped him to the room, took off his shoes, lay on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang went back to their respective rooms.

Not long after, there was the sound of the door opening in the room, the lights were not on, and the sound of stumbling footsteps came in.

He thought it was Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang, and he forgot to bring something back, so he ignored it.

The drunken mind was full of messy drinks, which made him unable to think, and the heavy hands and feet paralyzed on the bed couldn't be controlled, and he couldn't even get up when he thought about it.

In a trance, there were slightly procrastinated and messy footsteps, stumbling towards the bed.

Then, a black shadow fell down on the bed.

Holding on to the last bit of consciousness he had left, he called Luo Shiliu, and the black shadow moved.

But there was no response, he called Xiao Dazhuang again, the shadow moved again, but there was still no response.

He wanted to open his eyes, but the heavy eyelids couldn't be lifted no matter what, the strong smell of alcohol filled his nose, no matter it was on his side or the other side of the bed, it was the same.

No familiar smells.
