Chapter 284: A little jealous

Bai Ruozhu wanted to laugh that Bai Yibo deserved it, but she couldn't be happy. Bai Yibo was still using her second brother to scare people. What if she thought it was OK?

While they were worrying, a guest came, and the family had to put things aside and get busy again.

While Bai Ruozhu was making hand cakes, she looked at Bai Yihong who was carrying a pole to fetch water. Her father's eyebrows were so furrowed that he was the most difficult one to do in the old house.

After a while, Wang Minglu, wearing casual clothes, trotted over from a distance and said in a loud voice: "Auntie, my mother's list has left out a relative. Let me come and see for you. Can we add another table?"

Bai Ruozhu was attracted by his voice and looked up. Wang Minglu looked more friendly without wearing official uniform, just like the big brother next door.

"It's fine as long as your mother decides on this matter. I'm asking you to make a trip to do whatever you want. Is it possible that your aunt will be embarrassed if you have a day off today?" When Lin Ping'er returned to Houshan Village in the morning, Wang Minglu was also at Wang's house. He said today was his holiday.

Wang Minglu walked over with a silly smile and said, "I can't wait any longer, so I just came here to eat some cakes."

"Brother Wang, I'm going to make a cake for you now. You go and sit down and have a rest first." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile, just pulling back the address.

She didn't hate Wang Minglu, and even admired his honesty and enthusiasm, but she really couldn't tolerate him in her heart, so she couldn't delay such a good big brother.

The smile on Wang Minglu's face obviously stiffened, but he still went over to show Lin Ping'er the list, and then sat down at the table.

Bai Zehao had a good relationship with Wang Minglu, so he went over to chat with him.

"By the way, the matter at your old house has been resolved." Wang Minglu still had a sneer on his face.

"Ah?" Lin Ping'er couldn't react, "When I just left the village, his uncle was injured and in a mess. How can this be solved?"

"That Widow Zhou is here, saying that she helped Bai Yibo pay the 100 taels of silver to compensate the Wang family, so that the Wang family can reconcile and stop entangled." When Widow Zhou was mentioned, Wang Minglu's face flashed with disgust. Looks like she also knows about her "romance".

Bai Ruozhu was a little surprised. She heard that Widow Zhou had several acres of land and was living a good life, but she didn't expect her to be so generous and give out 100 taels of silver at once.But what is the difference between this and buying a husband?What she bought was a useless man like Bai Yibo who had no great potential in his life and was more than ten years older than her.

If this is not true love, it can only mean that Widow Zhou has taken a fancy to Bai Yibo's future, or the future of the Bai family's old house, and is taking a long-term view to catch big fish.

"That week, the widow was quite talkative. She said that she and Bai Yibo were in love. It was rare to meet such a person in her life. For him, she would not hesitate to put her wealth and life into it. Many women in the village were said by her. I was very moved and wiped a few tears. Later, they found a middleman to testify and the bond was drawn. Widow Zhou gave the Wang family a 100-tael banknote, and now they went to the town to complete the divorce procedures." Wang Minglu said.

Bai Ruozhu had already prepared the hot hand cakes. She called her brother twice. Unfortunately, Bai Zehao was so excited that he didn't notice her call at all. The stall was not busy at the moment, and Bai Ruozhu couldn't call her. The words were too loud, which made it seem like she was on guard against Wang Minglu and didn't even dare to give him a cake.

In the end, she had no other choice, so she took a bowl of soup, grabbed the cake in one hand, and carried the soup to Wang Minglu with the other.

She had just taken two steps when a dark figure flashed over and snatched the cake and soup from her hands for some unknown reason. He said in a cold voice: "I'll come, you go make me hand cakes."

In front of him was Jiang Yichun who had put on his mask again. Bai Ruozhu's eyes couldn't help but twitch, why is this guy here?And no matter how I looked at it, I felt that his tone and eyes were very unhappy, and even... Bai Ruozhu suddenly frowned. Would he be kind enough to serve Wang Minglu food?He obviously didn't want her to send it over, this guy was jealous!

Jiang Yichun took the hand cakes and bone soup and put them in front of Wang Minglu. Wang Minglu was surrounded by Lin Ping'er and the others. Only now did he notice Jiang Yichun. He was so frightened that he stood up and saluted him in a hurry, "Why trouble you so much, sir? The little one deserves to die." .”

Jiang Yichun stood with a cold face, and your eyes that seemed to see through everything fell on Wang Minglu, but you didn't answer for a long time.Wang Minglu was still bowing, but it was difficult to stand up straight, so he just bowed like this, and soon cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The Bai family also looked at Jiang Yichun in surprise. Lin Ping'er was grateful and liked her benefactor, but at the moment she didn't understand what was wrong with her benefactor. She seemed a little unhappy. Could it be that this boy Minglu had offended her? ?

Bai Ruozhu secretly stamped his feet on the side, should this guy show it so obviously? Wang Minglu and she will be considered relatives in the future. It won't look good like this. Although others may not know that it is because of her, but what if they guessed it? ?

She thought for a moment, then hurriedly took a large bowl of bone broth and walked towards the table with it.

"My dear friend, please drink the soup first, and I will prepare the pancakes for you right away." Bai Ruozhu put the soup on the table in front of Jiang Yichun with a smile, and glanced at him with a quick glare, signaling him Stop messing around.

Jiang Yichun was even more unhappy now. Was Bai Ruozhu protecting that boy?He snorted softly, tossed the hem of his clothes, and sat on the stool.

Wang Minglu felt that the pressure on him was finally gone. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sat back down nervously.

"Aren't you going to make cakes? Do you usually fool the guests like this?" Jiang Yichun looked at Bai Ruozhu, his tone was very cold, and he instantly turned back into the hated man with a poisonous tongue.

Bai Ruozhu glared at him quietly again and quickly returned to the iron pot.

"My dear friend, I'm really sorry. My eldest brother is going to have a happy event, so we are all dizzy, but we don't want to neglect you." Lin Ping'er said with a smile.

"It's okay." Jiang Yichun's tone softened a lot, and he looked at Bai Zehao and said, "Congratulations."

Bai Zehao didn't expect that the adult in front of him would congratulate him. He frowned happily, and even said enthusiastically: "If you don't mind it, come and have a wedding drink when I get married."

In fact, Bai Zehao didn't expect Jiang Yichun to agree. A big man like him must have heavy official duties. How could he have time to attend the wedding of a commoner like him?He just said it politely.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yichun nodded and said, "Okay, what day?"

At this moment, the Bai family, including Wang Minglu, were stunned. Bai Ruozhu's hands shaking when making hand cakes, and the cake was slightly punctured by the shovel. She hurriedly turned the hand cakes over and added the meat and eggs.

She looked calm on the outside, but her heart was turbulent. What was he going to do?Could it be that she wants to have more contact with her family?But doesn't he think it's weird that he wore that ghost mask to attend someone else's wedding?
