Chapter 121: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 121: It's All About Intentions
Bai Lu immediately let go of the explanation: "Just a bit of sweet seasoning, nothing strange."
Suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside.
The sun was leaning westward, its warmth not as intense as noon, but still not sunset cooking time.
They had arrived.
As usual, carrying big gifts, ready to be rejected and climb over the wall again.
Luo Shiliu held half a rack of pork ribs in his left hand, grabbing a large wing of a chicken with his right. Xiao Dazhuang held a duck wing in his right hand and a string of fish in his left.
Hanging on the banana vine, there was a five-six kilogram black fish, a six-seven kilogram big grass carp, and an additional string of six palm-sized crucian carp, tails swinging and bumping into the grass carp and black fish, yet not falling off the banana vine.
"Cheng Ge, sister-in-law."
Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang greeted: "We brought some side dishes, let's have dinner together tonight."
Common tone, casually mentioning side dishes, but the intention was hidden in the rare chicken, duck, and fish that ordinary families seldom see.
Bai Lu quickly pulled Xiao Cheng aside from the doorway: "Come in quickly, why did you buy so much, we have vegetables at home, no need to spend so much."
"Sister-in-law, you're being too polite. These are all small things we raised ourselves, didn't cost much. Let's just enjoy the meal together."
"Our cooking is not that good, just boiling things is enough. Every year, Cheng Ge criticizes us and doesn't let us in. I heard that sister-in-law is good at cooking, so this year, let's trouble sister-in-law, let us all enjoy a good meal. We've been envious of Cheng Ge for a long time..."
With Bai Lu opening the way, Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang smoothly entered without having to climb over the wall as in previous years.
Indeed, the timing was good this year, perfect timing.
Having a hostess at home makes a difference.
Finally, this year they can sit back and enjoy the meal!
"Go to the kitchen, boil water, slaughter the chicken, duck, and fish." Xiao Cheng shattered the illusion with one sentence.
Luo Shiliu: "..."
Xiao Dazhuang: "..."
The fleeting thought of luck was extinguished.
Good!
No problem, these are things they've done in previous years. Slaughtering chickens and ducks is the same, chop off the head, scald in hot water, pluck all the feathers, simple tasks.
Fish is not difficult either, a hit with a stick, scrape off all the scales, scoop out the insides, that's it.
Bai Lu's hands are for frying chestnuts, making delicious dishes, not for these trivial tasks, they understand.
Bai Lu wanted to help but was taken by Xiao Cheng to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. He told her that Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang liked doing these heavy tasks, so she shouldn't compete with them.
Otherwise, they would get angry.
Luo Shiliu: "..."
Xiao Dazhuang: "..."
Thank you so much!
You're truly an exceptional big brother!
Xiao Wei could stay and help.
Help with boiling water, supervise the slaughter of chickens and ducks, and plucking feathers.
Before Wang Hao went to the police station, the ransom Chen Chunli didn't provide enough. Over three hundred yuan was pooled by Xiao Cheng, Luo Shiliu, and Xiao Dazhuang. Xiao Cheng owed the most, two hundred yuan.
After Wu Xiuyun's house was completed, the wages were paid. Wang Hao wanted to return two hundred yuan to Xiao Cheng today.
Chen Chunli disagreed when she found out and got angry: "Why return anything! Are you rich? After building a house for someone for a month, you think you're a big shot with only six hundred yuan? Buying rice, vegetables, and oil at home doesn't cost money? I gave birth and had postpartum recovery without spending money!"
"The two hundred yuan was Xiao Cheng's own contribution, not something I borrowed from him. Why return it! Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang are the same, it's their own money, not something I borrowed. No one needs to repay!"
"If Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu's roasted chestnut business is doing so well, earning so much money, why don't they give you a chance to cooperate? Don't give us any opportunities to work together, what kind of brothers are they!"
"Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu are so good to Wang Cuihua. After Xiao Zhongbiao died, the compensation from the big boss, it's definitely more than three thousand yuan! "
No matter what was said before or today, no matter how harsh Chen Chunli's words were, or even physical violence, Wang Hao still followed her, never hitting back or talking back.
When she indirectly accused Xiao Cheng of embezzling compensation money, his face instantly turned dark, and his tone became cold: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"You don't know who the big boss is. It's not what you think. The big boss could give three thousand yuan in compensation to A Biao because of Cheng Ge's face. If it weren't for Cheng Ge, the big boss wouldn't give a single penny."
Each time Xiao Zhongbiao was mentioned, Wang Hao's expression wasn't good, but the reaction wasn't as intense as this time.
Chen Chunli had been used to getting her way, how could she accept Wang Hao no longer passively accepting everything? She had a bigger temper than him: "Everything is because of Cheng Ge's face! Why doesn't anyone care about your face? After so many years of fighting and killing, everyone else has gained something, but you're the most useless, you have nothing!"
"If you want to repay the money, do it yourself. I don't have money. Don't come back asking me for it even if you steal or rob! If you want to get a penny from me, don't bother coming back!"
Wang Hao turned and left.
Chen Chunli's anger overwhelmed her. She kicked the chair at her feet, overturned the water kettle and cups on the table, and cursed loudly.
The cursing voice was isolated by the closed door.
The sun set.
The sky was filled with red glow, and smoke rose gently.
Xiao Cheng was cooking in the kitchen, and Bai Lu was stir-frying river snails. After putting all the seasonings in the pan, she covered it with a lid.
She went to the broken water tank in the front yard to pick some mint.
Xiao Cheng would be away for a long time tomorrow, so he asked Xiao Dazhuang to return the ladder. At this moment, Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang were in the utility room, one passing tiles, the other patching holes.
Xiao Wei was also working as a tile transporter.
After picking enough mint, Bai Lu washed it and was about to return to the kitchen.
Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out.
