The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

As darkness fell, Yin Baicai got out of bed and glanced outside: "Oh no, I overslept. I was even saying I was going to eat at Li the bully's house."

Putting on the cloth shoes under the bed and draping an outer garment over her shoulders, Yin Baicai walked outside, smoothing her messy hair as she went.

He muttered to himself, "The long hair of the ancients is such a hassle. They can't cut it, and it's so hot in this weather."

They arrived at Li Zhe's house, panting heavily. The sun had already set, but Ge Tian and the others were still working.

Yin Baicai walked over and said, "Brother Ge, why aren't you finishing work yet? It's getting dark. Why don't you continue tomorrow?"

"It's cool here now, let's finish this and leave."

"Okay, there aren't many rules in my family. You can stop working when it's time! Don't work this late tomorrow."

Ge Tian and the others were thinking that Yin Baicai was paying a high price, so they had to hurry up and finish the work for him.

People trust them so much, they naturally won't cheat or slack off. Although the wages are paid daily, Yin Baicai is honest, so they can't cheat him.

Yin Baicai pushed open the door and went in, only to see Li Zhe and Li Mo already sitting at the table waiting for him.

"Hehe, well, I overslept. You guys don't have to wait for me next time, you eat first!"

Li Mo raised her little face: "No, we have to wait for Mom to eat together."

Yin Baicai pinched Li Mo's little face: "My big son is still the most well-behaved!"

Li Zhe raised his eyebrows without showing any emotion. Cai Ge'er said that Xiao Mo was his good son. Did that mean that he was slowly accepting their relationship?

If Yin Baicai knew Li Zhe's true feelings, she would definitely shout: "I'm straight!"

Li Zhe happily served food to Yin Baicai and Li Mo, and Yin Baicai held the bowl and showed it off.

After finishing his meal, he let out a loud burp: "Ugh—"

Looking at Yin Baicai's swollen belly, Li Mo poked it with his finger: "Does Mother have a little brother?"

Yin Baicai and Li Zhe were both stunned. Yin Baicai was so frightened by Li Mo's words that she almost fell to the ground: "Little brat Mo, what nonsense are you talking about! I'm a grown man... how could I..."

Suddenly, Yin Baicai remembered the absurd setting of this era. Men really know how to do this!

When Li Zhe heard Li Mo say this, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. If Cai Ge'er were to...

Then he told himself: No, this has to wait until after the wedding. It seems that Xiao Mo is too lonely and has no friends to play with.

"Little Mo, no, I'm just stuffed."

Li Mo sighed with a hint of regret: "Mo Mo also wants a younger brother."

Yin Baicai, flustered, fled: "Well, it's getting late, I'll head back now."

They fled Li Zhe's house in a hurry.

As Yin Baicai walked home, she became increasingly frightened. If she didn't quickly find a girl that Li the bully liked, she feared that a child might be born from her belly in the future.

Yin Baicai looked down at her bloated stomach and felt relieved: Thank goodness, it's not too late.

Starting tomorrow, I'll go around the village and see if anyone is secretly watching Li the bully. If so, I'll just go with the flow.

As the saying goes, isn't it good to help others achieve their goals?

The next day, Yin Baicai's life continued as usual. The only difference was that he got up early in the morning to check if the ice he had made the day before had been successfully made.

Standing in front of the jar, I first bowed to it and said, "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, my ice-making skills, Yin Baicai, are sure to be effective."

Slowly lift the lid and feel the cool air coming out.

A surge of joy welled up within me: It's done! Hahaha, I've finally succeeded! I actually managed to make ice! Now what's there to fear about the heat!

Clutching her prized possessions, Yin Baicai hurriedly headed to the Li family's house.

Knowing that Yin Baicai was coming, Li Zhe opened the courtyard gate early in the morning.

Ge Tian and the others went to work as usual.

Yin Baicai kicked open the door and shouted excitedly, "Li the bully, come and see my magic has worked!"

Seeing Yin Baicai's joy, Li Zhe was also intrigued. What could possibly make this person so happy?

Li Zhe brought the cooked porridge over and placed it on the table, while Yin Baicai placed the jar she was carrying on the table as well.

Gently lifting the lid, he said smugly to Li Zhe, "Li the bully, don't blink, the time to witness a miracle has come."

Li Zhe looked down and saw that the jar contained ice cubes, which were still emitting a cold air.

"Did you make this with yesterday's saltpeter?"

Yin Baicai grinned smugly: "That's right, it was made by me, Yin Baicai, who combines wisdom and good looks."

"You know this stuff is expensive in the hot summer, Cai-ge, you're really something," Li Zhe praised him.

As far as I know, ice is expensive and generally only wealthy people can afford it.

Yin Baicai asked Li Zhe to find a clean wooden basin and break the ice.

"Li the bully, I'll make a pot of mung bean soup at noon and add these ice cubes, it'll be absolutely amazing."

"I might not be able to drink anymore. I need to go to town. Could you keep an eye on Xiao Mo for me?"

Li Zhe received a message from his subordinates that the matter he had been investigating was now showing some promise.

He decided to go and see for himself; after hiding for so long, they had finally revealed their true colors again.

Yin Baicai didn't pry into Li Zhe's private affairs. Even though the two were engaged, it wasn't proper to inquire about other people's private matters.

Besides, this bully Li looks very serious, so it must be something I can't know. Curiosity killed the cat, so the less I know, the longer I can live, right?

Having inexplicably transmigrated to this ancient era, preserving my life is the most important thing.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things for you."

Li Zhe added again, "If I don't come back, don't worry, you can stay here!"

Yin Baicai verbally agreed, but in her heart she was thinking: Could it be that this bully Li is going to do something dangerous? He might not even be able to come back from the village. It seems that things are not simple!

Could it be that this bully Li's identity is not simple? Otherwise, how could someone who hasn't returned for ten years suddenly come back?

But this is none of my business. He has his secrets, and so do I. It's best not to ask.

If it weren't for the marriage contract between the original owner and him, the two of them probably would never have crossed paths in this lifetime!

After finishing his meal, Li Zhe left with a small black cloth bag on his back.

While Li Mo was still asleep, Yin Baicai went to Grandma Wu's and Zhang Cui's houses to buy the vegetables needed for the day.

When Li Mo woke up, she saw that no one was home and the door was open.

After getting dressed, finish the breakfast that Li Zhe left on the table.

He muttered to himself, "Why hasn't Mom come yet? She came when Momo woke up yesterday."

Yin Baicai quickly returned with vegetables and appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Putting down her bowl, Li Mo ran over and said, "Mom, you're here! I thought you weren't coming."

"Haha, how could that be! Little Mo, I'll be coming over to cook for the workers during this time."
