The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Sitting in the room, Tang Xiaoyan grew angrier the more she thought about it. How could Yin Baicai be so shameless as to flirt with other people?

In a flash of inspiration, a dark idea came to her mind.

You rascal, don't you like flirting with people? Well, you can't blame me for that. If Brother Li finds out you're living under the same roof as another man, do you think he'll break off your engagement in a fit of anger?

Tang Xiaoyan's eyes were filled with malice, something that shouldn't be present in a teenage girl.

next day

Yin Baicai was touched to learn that Li Zhe had come back specifically to pick her up and take her to town.

Thankfully, Li Zhe returned in time; otherwise, he would have had to walk to town, and his legs would have been ruined.

I didn't feel it yesterday, just my arms were sore, but when I woke up today, my thighs were sore and swollen.

Li Zhe arrived at Yin Baicai's house early in the morning. Knowing that Yin Baicai's arm was not easy to move, he hurriedly made breakfast.

Li Zhe didn't know how to make anything fancy, so he simply made a few pancakes, boiled some eggs, and cooked a pot of white porridge.

When Shen Jin got up, she saw that Li Zhe had already put the food on the table.

He slept on a makeshift bed on the floor in Yin Baicai's room yesterday. He had been sleeping in the same bed with Yin Baicai and Li Mo for the past two days.

Yesterday, when Li Zhe went upstairs to apply medicine to Yin Baicai, he found two quilts on the bed and immediately understood what was going on.

She was filled with jealousy. She hadn't even slept with A-Yin yet, and Shen Jin had already climbed into A-Yin's bed before her.

He originally suggested that Shen Jin come to his house to sleep, since there were guest rooms available and Shen Jin was too lazy to move.

The two argued for a long time.

Finally, the story ends with Shen Jin sleeping on the floor in Yin Baicai's bedroom.

Shen Jin chewed on the biscuit in her mouth with dissatisfaction. This scarred-face man is so petty. Besides, what can I do to Xiaobaicai?

He and I are the same.

At the table, Shen Jin learned that Yin Baicai was going to town today to hand over the recipes to Manager Zhang. Thinking that he had been hiding for several days, and that the guards from his home might have already left, he decided to sneak back and take a look.

There's really nothing to do in the countryside. I'm exhausted from working these past few days. I need to find a place to relax and stretch my muscles.

Shen Jin: "If you're going to town, take me with you. I'm going back to check on Shen Li and the others."

Li Zhe and Yin Baicai naturally knew this was an excuse Shen Jin was using, and they didn't expose him. After all, they both owed Shen Jin a favor! But they were certain he was hiding from someone.

Otherwise, how could they have run to a village so far from the town?

Tang Xiaoyan went to the field with her mother to pick corn early in the morning. Her family had a lot of land, and her father was not at home, so she and her mother had to work together.

When she saw Ma Qiao'e coming over to the village loudspeaker, she greeted her warmly, as the two families' land was already close to each other.

You can't hit someone who's smiling, so Ma Qiao'e was happy to chat with Tang Xiaoyan, who had come to talk to her.

As they talked, Tang Xiaoyan deliberately steered the conversation toward Yin Baicai.

"Aunt Ma, do you know who that handsome man with Brother Yin is?" She lowered her head, feigning shyness.

Ma Qiao'e immediately understood. It turned out that this young girl was in love and wanted to ask her about it!

Ma Qiao'e covered her mouth and laughed, "How would I know? You know I'm at odds with that shrew from the Yin family! Xiao Yan, let me tell you, that shrew is no good. He's keeping Li the bully on one hand, and he's also having a passionate affair with another man."

As she spoke, Ma Qiao'e looked around and whispered in Tang Xiaoyan's ear, "Don't even think about that man. He might already be in bed with that bastard."

Tang Xiaoyan's face turned pale. "Auntie... you can't say things like that. I don't think Brother Yin is that kind of person."

Ma Qiao'e spoke with great conviction, "It's true, I even saw that person come out of Yin Baicai's inner room."

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Tang Xiaoyan hastily ended the conversation and went back to work.

She deliberately brought up Shen Jin and then had Ma Qiao'e say it. Anyway, it wouldn't be Ma Qiao'e who said it, so what did it have to do with her?

She knew that when Yin Baicai's family was building their house, Ma Qiao'e had made a lot of fuss about Yin Baicai because Yin Baicai wouldn't accept her vegetables, and in the end, she was even scolded by Brother Li.

She was furious. What did Yin Baicai do to deserve Brother Li doing these things for her? He didn't deserve it at all.

Ma Qiao'e was a gossip, and soon the rumors about Yin Baicai and Shen Jin spread throughout the entire village.

At this moment, the person in question, who was riding in an oxcart towards the town, was still lying there contentedly, looking at the clouds floating in the sky.

After the oxcart arrived in town, Shen Jin parted ways with Yin Baicai and the others. He still had to sneak up to the entrance of the gambling den to see if anyone had left.

Finally, Yin Baicai rode in an oxcart driven by Li Zhe to Hongxilou.

As soon as Yin Baicai arrived at the entrance of Hongxilou, she saw a long queue of customers waiting at Fumanlou across the street.

It's only been half a month, how come Fu Man Lou's business is getting better and better? These "spices" from other regions really have such a great attraction!

Yin Baicai tugged at Li Zhe's sleeve, "Li the bully, something seems off about these exotic spices of yours?"

Li Zhe was startled. Could it be that A Yin had seen through something?

He bent down and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yin Baicai pointed to the people waiting at the entrance of Fumanlou Restaurant, "Look at those people, they look listless, their eyes are fixed on the food on the table, and they look so eager that they wish they could rush up there."

"Also, it always seems strange that people who are eating their food look so satisfied after they finish."

He didn't voice his thoughts, which is just like what drug addicts do in modern times.

Could this "spice" also be a kind of drug?

Li Zhe said, "This stuff is dangerous. These spices are just a cover; there's more to it than meets the eye."

Yin Baicai understood immediately. It seemed that Li Zhe had come to town these past few days to investigate these foreign "spices".

And if he wasn't mistaken, the people sitting in the teahouse diagonally opposite Fumanlou were He Qi and Jiang Su!

Yin Baicai looked up at Jiang Su and the other man, and the two nodded to her in a friendly manner.

After handing the recipe to Manager Zhang and settling the payment, Yin Baicai prepared to take Li Mo out for a stroll.

We're almost out of supplies at home, so we need to buy some to take back with us.

Li Zhe followed behind the two of them, acting as their porter.

Looking at Li Mo, who had grown quite a bit taller, Yin Baicai decided to take him to get two new outfits made, as the weather was getting colder and it was time to prepare winter clothes.

As soon as I stepped into the clothing store, an arrogant voice came from inside.

Yin Baicai looked up and glanced at him. Coincidentally, it was indeed an old acquaintance.

Indeed, the one yelling at the shopkeeper in the clothing store was Wang Yao, who had a grudge against Yin Baicai at the ice cream shop.

However, next to Wang Yao, he also saw an old acquaintance. If it weren't for those eyes, Yin Baicai would hardly have recognized him.

The gaunt man bowing and scraping before the burly man beside Wang Yao was none other than Tian Wenyan, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.
