The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

When Li Mo woke up, she saw the pastries on the table and was very puzzled as her uncle had not gone to town today. Who brought these pastries?

"Uncle, Gao Gao?"

Looking at Li Mo's puzzled expression, Li Zhe said to him, "Mo Mo, come and eat some pastries. Your aunt bought these for you."

When Li Mo heard that the snacks were brought by Yin Baicai, her smile became even brighter. Her face, which had just woken up, was rosy, like a red apple.

These were bought by her mother for Momo. Li Mo was overjoyed as she looked at the pastries on the table.

Today, Mom even brought the little ball to Momo and bought herself some snacks. Mom is even better than Second Grandma and the others.

Second Grandma never buys cakes for Momo; she only buys them for Li Xiaobao. She doesn't allow herself to eat them either. I don't like them.

Looking at the happy Li Mo, Li Zhe was extremely glad that he had made that decision. He had only wanted to help that young man, but he had ended up being attracted to him step by step. He was also very good to Xiao Mo.

The next day, Yin Baicai got up early and prepared to go to Li Zhe to discuss it. He wanted to borrow Li Zhe's kitchen to cook for the workers, as it was close by. Coming from Li Zhe's house would be too far.

He planned to buy vegetables in the village and meat in town, but meat doesn't keep for long, so he needed to figure out how to make ice. It's hot now, and these things won't keep if they're not stored with ice.

After finishing breakfast, Yin Baicai went to Li Zhe's house.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhe was not at home; the gate to his house was locked, so he must have gone out.

I thought to myself: Forget it, I'll talk to him about it later.

Since we've already reached the edge of the village, we might as well check if there are any fish or other good catches in the river, and maybe we can have a nice meal.

As soon as Yin Baicai arrived at the riverbank, she saw Liu Xiaoqing, that unlucky fellow, who kept rolling his eyes at her as she walked over.

What is this jinx doing coming to the riverbank? Seeing him is really an eyesore.

Yin Baicai naturally wouldn't tolerate him, saying, "Is there something wrong with your eyes? You keep rolling them upwards, you might go into epilepsy."

Standing up, Liu Xiaoqing put her hands on her hips and pointed at Yin Baicai: "Who are you calling a jinx?"

"I didn't name names, why are you standing up? Do you think I'm talking about you?" Yin Baicai glanced at him.

Other villagers who were washing clothes also looked over to watch the commotion, including Tian Wenyan's mother. Liu Xiaoqing naturally wanted to leave a good impression on her, so she didn't dare to argue with Yin Baicai in front of her.

Wouldn't that make me look like a shrew? I heard that Aunt Jufen likes well-behaved and sensible people.

Tian Wenyan's mother, Chen Jufen, naturally disapproved of Yin Baicai's flamboyant personality and stood up, saying, "Cai-ge'er, what are you doing? You're being so aggressive towards Ren Qing-ge'er as soon as you arrive."

Yin Baicai naturally knew that this was Chen Jufen, the mother of Tian Wenyan, the scholar from their village.

Chen Jufen is a woman who likes to take sides and puts on airs.

Because he had a scholar in his family, he often complained about this and that, and sometimes, when no one was watching, he would even lecture the original owner of the body, taking advantage of his status as an elder.

I, Yin Baicai, can accept guidance, but I don't accept being pointed at. This pretentious woman, you've really messed with me.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Jufen finished speaking, the women and husbands who were squatting down washing clothes showed their dissatisfaction towards Yin Baicai.

They were muttering something to themselves.

Seeing that Chen Jufen was speaking up for her, Liu Xiaoqing stood affectionately next to her and said, "Aunt Jufen, I'm fine. Cai Ge'er was just saying it casually."

Yin Baicai thought with disdain: This Liu Xiaoqing must have drunk too much green tea, he smells like tea.

Chen Jufen realized that her words had caused everyone to dislike Yin Baicai, and she was about to give her another lecture.

Yin Baicai interrupted her in advance: "Auntie, who are you? Do you live by the sea? Why are you meddling in other people's business? I didn't name anyone. It wasn't Liu Xiaoqing who came forward herself."

Chen Jufen's expression changed. When did this mute boy, whom she often lectured, become so bold as to dare to speak to her like that?

They used to be so rude, they wouldn't dare utter a sound.

Hearing Yin Baicai say this, the others realized that Cai Ge'er hadn't specifically insulted anyone, yet Qing Ge'er had stepped forward. It was possible that Qing Ge'er had made a face at someone first.

Chen Jufen was very displeased to see that Yin Baicai had contradicted her in just a few words. "Brother Cai, you're wrong. It must have been you who scolded Brother Qing that made him stand up."

“Auntie, I’m just worried about that person whose eyes keep rolling upwards. He might have epilepsy, so I want him to go to the pharmacy to get checked out as soon as possible. Otherwise, he might really be sick. When did I ever scold anyone? I’m just concerned about him. I often go to town to get medicine for my mother. I heard all this from the doctor at the clinic.”

"My well-intentioned concern has been interpreted as insults in your eyes. It's truly a case of good intentions gone unrewarded."

At this moment, an auntie standing nearby stood up and said, "Yes, Brother Rencai meant well. It's best to take someone whose eyes are rolling back to the doctor. Jufen, you've misspoke. You're lecturing Brother Rencai right off the bat. He meant well."

"Alright, alright, we're all from the same village, let's keep quiet."

Yin Baicai ignored Chen Jufen and Liu Xiaoqing and went to look for fish by the river a little further away from them.

Chen Jufen watched Yin Baicai walk away, a dark look flashing in her eyes. This scoundrel made me lose face so much, I will definitely get my revenge later.

Everyone knows I'm the future scholar's wife. Once my son passes the imperial examination, all the poor bastards in the village will flock to me like flies.

Then no one will dare to contradict what I say. We'll see, you rascal.

Liu Xiaoqing saw Chen Jufen helping him and affectionately linking her arms with his, but Chen Jufen pulled his hand away, saying, "Qing-ge'er, you should go wash your clothes."

Liu Xiaoqing stared in astonishment at her hand being pulled away, a look of desolation flashing in her eyes.

Aunt Jufen is really going to be tough to get past. It seems I'll have to hold onto Wenyan's heart tightly from now on.

Chen Jufen had heard plenty of villagers say that this Qingge was pestering her son, and that no country bumpkin like him was good enough for her Wenyan.

That's like a toad trying to eat swan meat! My Wenyan is going to marry the young lady from a wealthy family in town.

I only stood up for Yin Baicai because I couldn't stand him, and there were several other people from the village there. I didn't expect to be humiliated like this.

It seems I'll have to keep Wenyan away from Liu Xiaoqing from now on. Look at herself, she's already an adult, and she's so short. I wouldn't even look at her!

There isn't a single person in Peach Blossom Village who is good enough for my son. But don't worry, once my son passes the imperial examination, matchmakers will be lining up to break down my door.

If Yin Baicai knew what Chen Jufen was thinking, she would definitely burst out laughing. Tian Wenyan is already nineteen years old, has studied for more than ten years, and still can't even pass the preliminary examination. She's still daydreaming!

Away from Chen Jufen, Liu Xiaoqing, and Yin Baicai, the air felt much fresher. Those two, one a green tea b*tch, the other an old white lotus, polluted the air.

The scenery along this river is so beautiful, it's best if I don't get too close to them.

The sound of a babbling brook fills the air, a gentle breeze caresses the face, and white clouds hang low in the sky—it's like a beautiful landscape painting.

Yin Baicai rolled up her trousers, took off her shoes, and walked into the river, searching for fish.
