Chapter 165: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 165: Because You Like It
Xiao Wei shook his head again, saying, "It's what Wang Cuihua herself said, not something I knew in advance."
Bai Lu's expression carried a hint of meaning as she said, "Oh~."
Sensing her disbelief, Xiao Wei explained, "Really, before you moved in, Wang Cuihua used to climb over our backyard wall at night. When I caught her, she was afraid I would report her to my brother, so she told me the truth."
Suddenly intrigued, Bai Lu asked, "What's the truth?"
"Wang Cuihua said she wanted to be my big brother's woman."
"Do you believe her?"
Xiao Wei honestly shook his head, "I don't believe it. Climbing over our wall at night, she must have been trying to steal from us. She only came up with that excuse after I caught her."
"The next day when my big brother came back, I told him about Wang Cuihua sneaking into our house to steal. He just ignored me."
Not wanting the little one to be upset, Bai Lu offered the perfect suggestion, "Next time something like this happens, just tell your brother the truth."
Xiao Wei, disbelieving, widened his eyes, "Tell my brother that Wang Cuihua wants to be his woman?"
Bai Lu nodded.
"That's impossible!" Xiao Wei firmly disagreed, "Wang Cuihua is talking nonsense. She's married to Biao Ge, my brother-in-law. How can she be my big brother's woman!"
"Do you know what it means for someone to be your big brother's woman?" Bai Lu suspected the child might not fully understand.
The child, with a serious expression, answered, "Wife."
Bai Lu rolled her eyes internally and said, "Exactly, she's a wife. So, I'm what?"
Xiao Wei, earnestly, "Wife."
Bai Lu, feeling puzzled by the child's seriousness, continued, "So, she wants to be your big brother's woman."
Xiao Wei, looking very understanding and serious, "That's why I said she can't. My big brother already has you as his wife; he won't want a second one."
Bai Lu: "..."
She found herself discussing these intricate and useless matters with a child from her homeland.
She should instill some correct and useful life principles, values, and worldview into the child from her homeland.
"In the future, if something like this happens again, tell me first, okay?"
Xiao Wei, shocked by Bai Lu's sudden change of attitude, nodded blankly, "Okay."
"Other than climbing over our wall, did Wang Cuihua do anything else extraordinary?"
"Does being scared of mice count?"
Xiao Wei remembered Bai Lu's fear of mice, jumping onto his big brother when they encountered one. He guessed Wang Cuihua might have had similar intentions.
Bai Lu, seeing the child's peculiar expression, squinted, "What happened?"
"When it happened last year, one night, there were mice in Wang Cuihua's house. She ran over crying, saying she was scared and wanted to stay at our place."
Bai Lu sarcastically commented, "Did your brother agree?"
"No," Xiao Wei shook his head, "Big brother wasn't at home."
"...Quite a coincidence."
"Really, the next morning when my big brother came back, Wang Cuihua ran over again, claiming there were mice in her house."
"How did your brother respond?"
"When Wang Cuihua came, my big brother had just gone to bed not long ago. I didn't want to wake him up, so I took a slipper and helped her kill the mouse."
Bai Lu gave a thumbs up, "Impressive!"
However, Xiao Wei didn't seem pleased with the praise because, "Wang Cuihua came again on the third day."
"And claimed there were mice again."
Bai Lu: "..."
Mice were becoming clever.
Like an immortal cockroach.
"So, did your brother help Wang Cuihua with the mice, or did he agree to let her temporarily move in?"
"Neither," Xiao Wei shook his head.
"Big brother took out a bag of mousetraps from the utility room and gave it to Wang Cuihua to take back for catching mice."
"Plus, a sack of mouse poison."
Bai Lu almost couldn't speak from laughter, "Could Wang Cuihua carry all that back? Did she ask your brother for help carrying the mouse poison and to teach her how to use the traps?"
"How did you know!"
Xiao Wei looked at Bai Lu with wonder.
Unexpectedly, she had guessed it right.
Not surprising, though; a delicate flower like her from the homeland couldn't carry, lift, or handle anything. She always needed someone else's help: "Did your brother help?"
Xiao Wei, an honest good child, truthfully said, "Big brother asked Xiao Zhuang to help her."
Bai Lu generously praised, "Your brother is really smart. Anything else?"
Xiao Wei had never seen Bai Lu so concerned about his big brother's matters. It was a good sign, so he had to spill everything.
"There is. Before you moved in, Li Li, who sells tofu pudding, didn't have a stall on the street. Instead, she carried tofu pudding around the streets every day, stopping at our doorstep and giving tofu pudding to my brother."
"Did your brother take it?"
"No, when Li Li came, big brother was often not at home or was sleeping at home because he often came back with injuries... I told Li Li that my big brother doesn't like eating tofu products. Li Li insisted on bringing them, even gave me a string of sugar-coated haws and asked me to pass the tofu pudding to my brother."
"Did you help?"
"No, if I brought something my big brother doesn't like, he would not only ignore me but would also go out for many days before coming back. He doesn't like others meddling in his affairs, so I won't help."
"Does your brother not like eating soy products?"
"He never liked them."
"Then why did your brother often buy soy milk when he went out to pack wontons?"
"That's because you like it."
"Uh... Anything else? Tell me more!"
"Of course, there is. Wang Daye's daughter really likes watching my brother lead people to collect debts. She says my brother looks especially cool and powerful when he steps on those debtors, claiming himself as the king. Every time she sees my brother taking Luo Shiliu and others to collect debts, she hides with her little sisters in the corner to watch..."
Bai Lu: "..."
Is the big brother so popular?
Xiao Wei: "And there's more..."
...
Outside Wang Hao's house.
Wang Hao reported the situation to Xiao Cheng as they walked towards the market. They were going to take a motorcycle to Pingcheng.
Compared to the past fear and avoidance, the people on the street now regarded them with ordinary gazes. Some even greeted them casually, just like getting along with neighbors. It was an unimaginable change.
Wang Hao knew very well who had brought about this earth-shattering transformation. When he heard that name mentioned with a sharp and sarcastic tone, he suddenly stopped.
The man beside him had also stopped earlier, his long-lost cold expression returning.
Not far away, three female students and a chubby figure got off two motorcycles, moving slowly.
"Did you really see Bai Lu studying for the exam?"
"What's our relationship? Can I still lie to you? That day, I saw Bai Lu sitting under the tree in the backyard, reading the books for the third year. What else could it be if not for the exam?"
