Chapter 49: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 49: What Are You Up To?
Wang Cuihua is a woman. The girls don't mind her joining, but if she does, the boys will follow. It's better for none of them to board.
"You guys go to other cars. Cheng Ge's car is full. Waiting here will only delay us."
"Yeah, we're about to start driving. Go to the village head's car or Uncle Liu's car..."
The front brick truck indeed started its engine.
Bai Lu glanced out and pulled back, saying to Xiao Cheng, "Why don't you go down and check?"
Xiao Cheng's mind was still echoing her words to Wang Cuihua. It hit him like a gunshot, making his blood boil uncontrollably.
Regaining his senses, he looked in the rearview mirror, throwing out casually, "You guys go to the front."
With just a casual sentence, the group of youngsters at the rear of the car scattered immediately.
Orderly, they lined up to board the front truck.
Bai Lu found it incredible. In psychology, there's a concept of admiring the strong, but it doesn't usually go to this extent.
Look at how well-behaved the kids are. They don't listen to their parents, but one sentence from "Cheng Ge" disperses them.
Impressive!
Bai Lu gave a thumbs-up to Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Wei felt it was a strange sight. In school, older kids often bullied younger ones. The only reason he wasn't a target was because of his big brother.
Who dared not to listen to big brother? That's just asking for trouble!
Well, except for Bai Lu...
Xiao Cheng raised an eyebrow, his gaze holding the lingering sweetness of the girls at the back. With a faint smile in his eyes, he pointed at the steering wheel and started the engine.
Over a hundred members of the Xiao family, six large brick trucks.
Majestically, they drove out of Nan Street, heading to their hometown for ancestral worship.
The first brick truck led the way, making a grand entrance with the rhythmic beating of drums and gongs, the ancient and solemn sounds echoing through the sky.
The words "Xiao Family Ancestral Worship" were pasted on the front of the truck, exuding a majestic aura. Pedestrians, seeing it, quickly stepped aside.
In the rear compartment, the girls were excitedly chatting.
Bai Lu leaned against the car window, enjoying the passing scenery.
Under the blue sky, white clouds floated, and the fresh air greeted them. Fruit trees along the road were lush green, and the bird songs and fragrant flowers created a serene atmosphere. Even the ordinary stone road seemed to lead to a dawn-filled Kangyang Avenue.
Once out of town, Bai Lu truly saw the grandeur of the river that crossed the small town, traversed Pingcheng, bordered Nan City, and extended to other provinces.
The emerald-green river flowed downstream, with bamboo and tree groves on both riverbanks. A gentle breeze blew, causing green bamboo and tree leaves to swirl and fall onto the river.
The width of the river was substantial, several hundred meters across.
Occasionally, sand-carrying cargo ships passed by, creating layers of green waves that splashed towards the riverbanks.
Women squatting on the shallow pebble beach, washing clothes, were well-prepared. As soon as the waves reached halfway, they swiftly picked up the buckets containing their clothes, climbed onto tall rocks, and returned once the waves had fully hit the shore.
Their expressions were rich and varied – a mix of anger, amusement, speechlessness, and familiarity. Amid their banter, washing clothes became a bridge to build relationships.
Everything was so beautiful.
Bai Lu smiled, her eyes capturing the scenery.
After driving for a while, the car suddenly stopped.
From the front, there came arrogant and provocative shouts.
In a short while, Xiao Dazhuang ran over to report, "Cheng Ge, there's trouble ahead."
Xiao Cheng grabbed the wrench beside him, ready to open the door.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Lu looked at him with a smile, her turning movement very standard, her voice gentle but slightly cold.
Xiao Wei felt a chill on his head, and the temperature dropped. His posture unconsciously straightened, hands resting on his knees, not daring to move.
Xiao Cheng, meeting White Dew's cool gaze, paused, put down the wrench, and cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly.
Nonchalantly, he said, "I'll go down and check. Stay in the car, don't run around."
"Sure, you take care of yourself and come back soon." Bai Lu smiled brightly, like a blooming flower.
Xiao Cheng, for the first time, understood the feeling of scalp tingling. He responded with a casual "okay" and opened the door to get out.
The car door closed gently.
Bai Lu turned her smile to Xiao Wei. "Do you want to go down and see?"
Xiao Wei shivered all over. "No, it seems to be drizzling outside, quite cold."
White Dew said, "Don't you want to see your brother's imposing manner? He scares off the enemy as soon as he appears."
Xiao Wei wanted to watch, but he shook his head. "Big brother told us to stay in the car and wait for him."
"After you go down, if you can't come back up, I can ask him to help carry you up." Bai Lu threw out a temptation.
Xiao Wei's eyes lit up. He moved his legs, hesitated, and then stopped, seemingly indecisive.
"Don't worry. It's just going down to take a look. You won't be running around. He won't blame you." Bai Lu's tone was exceptionally friendly and earnest.
Xiao Wei slowly turned his head. She said, "With me here, you can go down. If you can't come back up, I'll ask him to carry you."
Xiao Wei jumped down from the car.
Bai Lu smiled and leaned back, finding it cold outside, and the wind was blowing drizzle. She wasn't going down! Since Xiao Wei, the little informant, was here, if Xiao Cheng did anything, he would surely come back to report.
She'd just sit comfortably in the car and wait.
A worried voice came from the rear compartment, "What happened up front? Should we go down and take a look?"
Wang Cuihua finally squeezed onto Xiao Cheng's car.
The girl beside her, who was watching the wind, looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Why should we go down?"
"We can't help when men are fighting. Going down will only be a hindrance. Are we supposed to drag Cheng Ge's hind legs?" Another girl agreed, "Staying in the car, we can still see everything. Even Bai Lu hasn't come down. Why should we add chaos? Just wait quietly in the car."
Wang Cuihua's suggestion was criticized as useless.
She received sympathetic glances, both implicit and explicit, mocking her lack of intelligence.
They laughed at her for being ten thousand miles behind Bai Lu.
It was hard being the target of everyone's ridicule.
Not to mention the pitying looks, both implicit and explicit, making fun of her lack of intelligence.
Someone expressed concern from the back, "What's happening up front? Should we go down and see?"
The brick trucks in the rear, seeing the front one stop, also stopped and approached to check.
The road ahead was too narrow, only allowing single-file traffic. If there were cars on both ends, one side had to reverse to an open area to let the other pass.
The Chen family's ancestral worship convoy had just arrived from the opposite direction and demanded that the Xiao family make way.
"You're from the Xiao family, right? Be sensible and reverse to give way. Don't force us to take action."
"When we start, it's not something you old folks can endure. Your Xiao family youngsters are trash, one hit and they'll collapse like soft bones. If you don't want to repeat last year's beaten ending, scram!"
