The Bully General's Spiritual Husband
Chapter 19 Cooking at Your Door
It took the two of them a lot of effort to find the old wooden bed and cabinet buried in the ground at Yin Baicai's house.
Li Zhe helped him clean the wooden bed and cabinet and moved them into his kitchen. Looking at the cramped house, he once again had the idea of inviting the man to stay at his house.
"Why don't you come and stay at my place?"
Yin Baicai shook her head: "Forget it, I won't go." If she went to stay at Li the bully's house, how could she carry out her plan?
Moreover, the original owner was engaged to him, so she always felt uncomfortable living in his house.
The two spent some more time piling up the mud from the collapsed house, and used the stones that had rolled down from the mountain to surround the mud, thus creating a garden.
Yin Baicai thought: In this way, I can use this place to grow vegetables in the future. However, if I want to rebuild my house, it will be a bit far to come here.
Time flew by, and it was soon noon. Yin Baicai invited Li Zhe to stay for lunch, but Li Zhe, seeing the messy and crowded state of Yin Baicai's kitchen, invited her to his own home for lunch instead.
"Xiao Mo must be awake by now, come to my place for a meal."
Yin Baicai grinned: "Alright, then I'll cook my specialty dishes for you two, uncle and nephew."
The two returned to Li Zhe's house together.
When Li Mo woke up early in the morning, he didn't see anyone, so he knew they were busy again. After eating the breakfast his uncle made for him, he sat alone in the yard and obediently studied his own characters.
Hearing the door open, he knew his uncle was back. Looking up, he was pleasantly surprised to find Yin Baicai there too. He put down the book he was holding, ran over, hugged Yin Baicai's leg, and looked up at her, asking, "Mom's back and staying with Momo too!"
Yin Baicai picked him up and pinched his nose: "No, I came to cook for you."
Li Mo was a little unhappy, but now that he knew where his mother lived, he would ask his uncle to take him to his mother's house when he had free time.
Li Mo pouted and said, "Mom, I want to eat the chicken cake we had last time."
"Sure, but Xiao Mo has to call me Brother Xiao Bai." Yin Baicai coaxed him, but Li Mo didn't fall for it, burying his head in his neck and saying nothing more.
Yin Baicai sighed helplessly. "Calling someone 'Mom' is so embarrassing! I'm a grown man!" But maybe the little rascal just misses his mother too much. Sigh! I miss my headmistress so much too.
Yin Baicai agreed and carried Li Mo into Li Zhe's kitchen to start cooking for the uncle and nephew.
Li Zhe consciously squatted by the stove to watch the fire for Yin Baicai, while Li Mo kept praising Yin Baicai.
Before long, the delicious and colorful dishes were served. Ever since Li Zhe had eaten the river snails made by Yin Baicai, he knew that this young man was a good cook, even no worse than the chefs in the town's restaurants.
I casually asked, "Have you ever thought about opening a restaurant in town?"
Yin Baicai shook her head: "No, running a restaurant is too tiring. I'd rather sell recipes instead. That way, I can relax a bit."
Li Zhe thought about it and agreed. Making a living was indeed quite tiring. After they got married, he would hunt more and let the young man stay at home to take care of the children.
Seeing Li Zhe staring blankly, Yin Baicai waved her hand in front of his face and said, "Li bully, what are you daydreaming about? Doesn't this food suit your taste?"
Coming to his senses, Li Zhe said, "No, I was just thinking that after we get married, you can stay home and take care of Xiao Mo, and I'll earn the money."
Yin Baicai was startled. This was the start of her being a kept woman. Although I, Yin Baicai, like to be lazy, I still don't want to be a pretty vase at home.
It seems we need to get this engagement annulment done quickly, otherwise I'll be the one being pressured.
Seeing Yin Baicai's eyes darting around, Li Zhe knew that this young man was definitely up to something mischievous again.
The two ate their meal, each lost in their own thoughts. Li Mo looked left and right, wondering what her uncle and mother were doing.
When Li Jiang's family returned, they found that much of the thatch on their house had been blown away by the strong winds of the previous night, and a corner of the kitchen had been washed away by the heavy rain.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She was living in such a dilapidated place, while that ungrateful wretch Li Zhe was living in a big brick house. Why was that?
Since my elder brother and sister-in-law passed away, I have done my best to take care of them, but they are both like ungrateful wretches.
Looking at the destroyed kitchen, Wang Huanhua cursed angrily, "God, are you blind? My family's life is already hard enough, are you trying to kill us all?"
Liu Xiaolian and Li Lin also looked unwell; a large section of the thatched roof of the house where they slept had collapsed.
Li Xiaobao started crying and making a fuss: "Mom~ I want to live in a big house, I don't want to live here, I want to go to the big house of the bully Li."
Li Jiang roared, "What are you all standing there for? Get the house ready! Are you even going to sleep tonight?"
The group quickly got to work, and no one in the family dared to disobey Li Jiang, for fear of being scolded if they were slow.
The family, starving, began to tidy up their belongings and shoveled away all the mud in the house.
The yellow mud on his feet made Li Jiang feel even more gloomy. "I, Li Jiang, will live in a big house sooner or later. Do you think you can surpass me for a lifetime? Don't worry, I will send Li Zhe and Li Mo down to reunite with your family when the time comes."
Seeing Li Jiang's increasingly gloomy face, Wang Huanhua was terrified. Her husband was capable of anything if things didn't go his way.
The three of them were completely satisfied after finishing their meal. Li Mo and Yin Baicai slumped in their chairs, rubbing their stomachs.
Yin Baicai looked at Li Mo's round belly with amusement: "Little Mo, why does your belly look like a little ball?"
Li Mo wasn't angry: "Mom, what's this little ball?"
"It's a ball that you can kick," Yin Baicai explained after thinking for a moment.
Li Mo looked at Yin Baicai longingly: "Mo Mo wants a little ball."
Yin Baicai thought for a moment, but there were no materials for making rubber in ancient times. Even if they found rubber, they couldn't make rubber sheet without formic acid.
"Little Mo, how about I make you a ball made of bamboo?"
Li Mo nodded happily.
Li Zhe sat beside the two of them, wondering if this was the feeling of home that Brother Chen and the others had talked about. It didn't seem too bad. He had initially just wanted to find someone to take care of Xiao Mo, but then Matchmaker Li came to his door and mentioned it to him.
He didn't have anyone he liked, but he thought marrying Yin Baicai wouldn't be bad. This young man had given him pancakes when he was a child.
Even though he was also very hungry, he still handed the half-eaten pancake he had left to himself, who was almost fainting from hunger. The figure of the young man was becoming more and more like the person in front of him, but it also seemed a little different.
Yin Baicai felt a strong sense of being watched by a vicious wolf from behind, and a chill ran down her spine.
In this sweltering heat, why do I feel a chill down my back?
"Little Mo, don't you feel a little cold?"
"Mommy's stupid." She pointed at the sun in the sky with her little finger, as if to say: Are you stupid for feeling cold when the sun is shining so brightly?
Yin Baicai grabbed Li Mo and tickled his skin, making Li Mo giggle. "You little rascal, you dare to make fun of me?"
