The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Yin Baicai got up early the next morning, ate a simple breakfast, and prepared to go to the homes of those who could repair houses to talk to them.

As soon as the door opened, he saw Li Zhe coming this way: "Li bully, are you going hunting in the mountains today?"

"No, I'll go with you to find the people who are repairing the house."

"That's great. I was worried that I wouldn't know many of the people here, so it would be nice to have you give me directions."

The two arrived at Ge Tian's house first. "Is Brother Ge home?"

Just as Ge Tian was about to go up the mountain to chop firewood, he heard someone calling outside the house and said to his younger brother Ge Wen, "Little brother, go open the door and see who it is."

Ge Wen got up to open the door, and was taken aback when he saw Li Zhe and Yin Baicai outside: "Brother Cai, what's the matter?"

Yin Baicai said with a smile, "Brother Ge Wen, let's go inside and talk!"

"Okay, come in."

Ge Tian, ​​who was sharpening his wood-chopping knife in the yard, looked at the visitors and asked, "Li Zhe, what brings you to my house?"

Yin Baicai replied, "Brother Ge Tian, ​​have you guys been free lately? I want to repair a house. If you're available, I'll pay you 25 coins a day, plus lunch."

Ge Tian and his younger brother exchanged a glance and were about to agree. The pay was high; the town only offered twenty coins, but meals weren't included.

The two brothers often repaired houses for people in town, so they knew the ropes very well.

Ge Tian said with delight, "Brother Cai, you're paying me a lot! And you even include meals. You're losing out!"

"No problem at all. Just fix the house properly for me, and the food is plentiful."

"Just because you said that, we'll take the job, you two brothers. Do you want us to call a few people for you? Don't worry, they're all quick and efficient, and they won't try to cut corners."

"Thank you so much, Brother Ge. If you have any suggestions, it will save me the trouble of coming all the way here." Yin Baicai laughed and asked for the names of the people again. They were pretty much the same as the village chief's recommendations, so she agreed.

These people often worked with the Ge brothers. They were all poor families in Peach Blossom Village. It was good that they could earn some money without having to go to town.

There's been a lack of work in town lately, so everyone's come back to the village to rest.

Yin Baicai and her companion bid farewell to the Ge brothers, saying they would inform them once the start date for construction was set.

Within half a day, the news that Yin Baicai was going to repair her house spread throughout the village.

Some people were amused, while others were envious and jealous.

The worst offender was Wang Huanhua. Upon hearing this, she curled her lip and sneered, "That jinx can afford to build a house? The sun must have risen in the west. With his poor family's appearance, they probably can't even afford to eat."

Liu Xiaolian chimed in, "Mother, this is probably true. I heard that Zhu Laosan's land was bought by him for twelve taels of silver, and he paid in cash."

Wang Huanhua exclaimed, "Isn't that the piece of land next to the White-Eyed Wolf's house?!"

Liu Xiaolian nodded: "That's the place."

"Where did this shrew get so much money? The old man was planning to buy it back when he had enough money so he could repair the house. He never expected that this little slut would buy it."

Wang Huanhua's eyes nearly popped out of her head. This land was the best in the village, close to the village entrance, convenient for fetching water, and near the river. How could this cunning person have bought it?

When Li Jiang returned that evening, Wang Huanhua told him about it, which made him so angry that he slammed his chopsticks on the table.

I had my eye on this land first, and this shrewish guy actually bought it! It's infuriating!

It's obvious without asking that the money for this cunning person must have come from Li Zhe, that ungrateful wretch.

He's so disrespectful to his own uncle, giving money to that worthless son to build a house. What an unfilial descendant! Why didn't he die on the battlefield?

The heavens actually allowed him to come back alive. Wouldn't it have been better if he had died sooner and reunited with his father and family?

Why did you have to come back alive to annoy yourself and make your life miserable?

If he hadn't kicked him out, that kid Li Qian's house would have been his from the start.

How could I endure this suffering? So I went back to live in this dilapidated house.

Li Jiang felt increasingly upset and was so angry that he barely ate anything before sulking and returning to his room alone.

Wang Huanhua and the others only dared to start eating after he left.

Liu Xiaoqing had just carried the chicken feed back when his father told him about Yin Baicai's plan to repair the house.

She wanted to grind her teeth to pieces, her heart burning with jealousy.

This money must have come from Brother Li, otherwise how could a poor guy like him, who makes a living by digging for wild vegetables in the mountains every day, afford to build a house?

It really infuriates me! If it weren't for this jinx who's engaged to Brother Li, why would Brother Li give him money?

This unlucky person who brings misfortune to his parents deserves his own house, but I have to share a room with my younger brother. Why is that?

What exactly is it about me, Liu Xiaoqing, that makes me inferior to Yin Baicai? Besides, the birth mark on my hand is so faint; it's hard to say whether I can carry on the Li family line.

Suddenly, Liu Xiaoqing's eyes flashed: as long as the two of them haven't gotten married yet, she still has a chance. She must use her skills to seduce Brother Li, and then make him break off the engagement with the jinx and marry her.

At that time, all the money in the Li family will be under my control. This troublemaker will be too ashamed to live in Peach Blossom Village after his engagement is broken off. Who knows, he might even jump off a cliff and die.

Liu Xiaoqing's father, Zhang Fulang, saw him standing motionless in the yard for a long time and called out to him, "Qing-ge'er, are you stupid? Why don't you put down that basket?"

Liu Xiaoqing then put down the basket and threw the chicken feed inside into the chicken coop.

Yesterday it rained heavily, and a lot of the thatch on his roof was blown away, leaving a big hole in the roof!

He could only share a room with his younger brother for the time being, and the repairs would only be completed when his father returned from town.

Neither he nor his father dared to climb onto the roof to fix it.

Suddenly, Liu Xiaoqing thought: I can go to Brother Li to fix it. This is a great opportunity to get closer to him.

As long as I find opportunities to get to know him better, he'll discover how wonderful I, Liu Xiaoqing, am. I'm not afraid he'll break off the engagement with the jinx.

Just think about it and be happy.

Liu Xiaoqing told his father, Zhang Ke, about his plan, and Zhang Ke agreed. He thought that as long as his son married the bully Li, the family would have no worries about not having enough to eat.

He knew that Li Zhe often went hunting in the mountains, so his family must be quite wealthy.

Otherwise, how could they have the money to renovate the house and buy land for that guy at the end of the village?

Once my brother and he get together, I won't have to keep running to town every few days.

Having a capable son-in-law saves a lot of trouble.

The father and son were getting more and more shrewd with their calculations, as if they had already envisioned the scene of Li Zhe and Liu Xiaoqing becoming a family.

They didn't even consider whether Li Zhe would even look at their family.

At first, Liu Xiaoqing and his son talked badly about others behind their backs, but they changed their attitude after seeing that the other party had money.

He's nothing but a clown.
