 Chapter 39: He's Watching Her

If today were really Li Xuelan's birthday, Bai Lu giving him two ribs to take back wouldn't be impossible. After all, despite Li Xuelan's frequent harsh scolding and favoritism towards her son, she was indeed the one who gave birth to the original owner and raised her, deserving some gratitude. In the bustling market, with neighbors passing by occasionally, Bai Lu didn't want to risk gaining a reputation for being unfaithful or unfilial. However, from the memories of the original owner, she knew that today was not Li Xuelan's birthday; it was yesterday. Every year on Li Xuelan's birthday, she would slaughter a chicken, giving both chicken legs to Bai Chaojie and even the chicken wings. The memory was deeply etched in the original owner's mind, especially the time when she accidentally grabbed the wrong chicken wing and was scolded by Li Xuelan, making it even more memorable. Bai Lu looked at the pork boss and spoke earnestly, "I don't know him." It was evident that she had been entangled by a troublemaker! Seeing the pitiful expression of the young girl and the small boy who dared not speak, hiding behind her with puffed cheeks, the pork boss, with a butcher's knife in hand, couldn't help but show anger. He slammed the butcher's knife onto the cutting board with a loud "bang." "No money, don't think about leaving the vegetable market today!" "A 14 or 15-year-old brat dares to act like a ruffian, robbing in broad daylight. Whose child are you? If you want to buy ribs, take me to your house to collect the money!" The pork boss, being a butcher, holding a cleaver, became furious. He looked menacing with his beefy face, revealing a ferocious appearance that swept through the entire street. Bai Chaojie, who was used to being arrogant at home, had never seen such a scene. He was frightened on the spot, dropping the ribs. Wanting to run but afraid of being chased by the pork boss, he hurriedly picked up the ribs from the ground, wiped them clean with his sleeve, and nervously placed them back on the cutting board. Looking at Bai Lu, he left a harsh remark before running away without looking back, "If you dare to go home, see what happens!" He ran away so fast, as if there were ghosts chasing him. The pork boss rinsed the ribs with water, cut two new ribs for Bai Lu, diced them, and packed them in a newly arrived, high-quality plastic bag. He placed them in her basket. Finally, he asked if she lived far away and offered to escort her home, as the troublemaker from before might follow her. Bai Lu repeatedly thanked him, declining the pork boss's kind offer by explaining that her home wasn't far away. After completing a round in the market, Xiao Wei, carrying bags of groceries, trailed behind Bai Lu. Exhausted, he couldn't help but complain, "Have you finished shopping?" A resentful voice came from behind, and Bai Lu realized that she wasn't alone in her shopping endeavor. There was a little companion with her. She stopped and turned around, offering to share the load, "Do you want me to help you carry something?" However, when he saw chili peppers, Xiao Wei turned his head away.
