The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Seeing the figure rushing towards him, Li Zhe took a big step back.

Tang Xiaoyan missed her target and fell to the ground with both hands.

Li Zhe said coldly, "Go to the outer perimeter. This is not a place for you."

After Li Zhe finished speaking, he turned and left. Tang Xiaoyan looked up with tears in her eyes, her face full of disbelief. Her brother Li Zhe hadn't caught her.

Impossible. Has he forgotten himself?

He saved my life when I was a child, but now he's so cold to me. Is it because I didn't visit him when he came back to the village?

But ever since the news spread in the village that he was engaged to the jinx, he dared not disturb him.

The more Tang Xiaoyan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and her jealousy towards Yin Baicai gradually deepened.

She still remembered that the last time they met at the village entrance, her brother Li Zhe had taken the initiative to talk to Yin Baicai.

Li Zhe didn't care what Tang Xiaoyan thought; all he wanted to do was finish chopping the firewood as soon as possible. Cai Ge'er and Xiao Mo were waiting for him to come back for lunch!

Tang Xiaoyan was startled by the snake and felt the coldness from Li Zhe. Without even cutting the grass, she hurriedly walked down the mountain with her basket on her back.

The further he walked, the deeper the resentment grew in his heart. It must be that the jinx had spoken ill of him to his brother Li Zhe.

After all, he had led the villagers to cause trouble for him by the river last time.

That's why Brother Li Zhe ignored me.

When I was little, Brother Li Zhe saved me twice, and he saved me once today. As long as I show myself well in the future, I'm not afraid that Brother Li Zhe will look down on me!

After all, my mother said that quite a few people have started asking her about me. I, Tang Xiaoyan, am the prettiest girl in the village.

Seeing that Li Zhe hadn't returned by noon, Yin Baicai left him a dish and let Ge Tian and the others eat first.

Huang Yuanyuan has fallen in love with Yin Baicai's cooking skills ever since she had a meal at Yin Baicai's house yesterday.

With her little face flushed, she kept praising Yin Baicai: "Brother Baicai's cooking is so delicious, even better than Grandma's!"

Yin Baicai happily rubbed Huang Yuanyuan's little head. Li Mo saw this and felt a little unhappy. His mother was his own, so why was she so close to Yuanyuan after only one day?

Eager to prove herself, Li Mo retorted, "Mom's cooking is delicious, so fragrant!"

Ge Tian and the others were already used to Li Mo calling Yin Baicai "mother," and they all thought it was just a child missing his mother.

Huang Yuanyuan pointed at Yin Baicai and said to Li Mo, "Little brother should call Xiaobai brother."

Li Mo pouted and said, "This is my mother." Then she hugged Yin Baicai's hand tightly as she picked up some food.

Yin Baicai smiled and said, "Yes, yes, let's eat quickly, and then go back to sleep."

Huang Yuanyuan's little head was filled with great confusion: Why did Xiao Mo call Xiao Bai "Mom"?

After dinner, Yin Baicai saw that the two little ones were sleepy, so after sending Huang Yuanyuan home, she carried Li Mo back to the room.

With nothing to do, Yin Baicai sat at the table waiting for Li Zhe to return. Overcome with drowsiness, she fell asleep on the table.

an hour later

Startled awake by the sound of Li Zhe pushing the door open, Yin Baicai rubbed her eyes as she saw him dragging a large bundle of firewood back. "You're back. I'll go to the kitchen and heat up some food for you."

He left without waiting for Li Zhe's reply.

Li Zhe dragged the firewood into the yard, put down the wood-chopping knife in his hand, walked to the water vat and washed his face to dispel the heat.

After Yin Baicai finished cooking, there were still embers left. He threw in some firewood, and it ignited in no time.

As I was heating up the food and preparing to serve it, I turned around and saw Li Zhe's tall figure blocking the kitchen doorway.

"Li the bully, hurry up and get the bowl, I've heated it up."

Li Zhe nodded: "Go and rest! I'll take care of it."

Yin Baicai yawned: "Okay, I'm going back to Grandma Wu's house. I still need to pack my things! I can move over tomorrow."

When Yin Baicai returned, she lay down on the bed and took a nap, thinking: I'll deal with other things when I wake up.

Yin Baicai slept until sunset, and when she woke up, she saw Grandma Wu washing vegetables.

"Grandma, you rest. I'll cook. Let's have a good meal tonight. I'll move in tomorrow."

Grandma Wu chuckled and said, "Alright, I really can't bear to part with you, Cai-ge'er. If you leave, it'll be all alone for me, and it'll be so lonely!"

Wenying looked at Tang Xiaoyan, who had said she was going to the mountain to cut grass but returned with an empty basket.

He asked her, "Xiao Yan, didn't you say you were going up the mountain to cut grass? Why didn't you bring any?"

Tang Xiaoyan said weakly, "Mother, I saw a snake on the mountain, and I was scared, so I came back."

“There are a lot of snakes around this time of year, so don’t go next time. Just wait a while and I’ll go cut them off myself. Look at you, you’re so scared, your face is deathly pale.”

Tang Xiaoyan nodded, took off her basket, and turned to go back into the house.

She sat on the bed for a long time, thinking. Her appearance hadn't changed much. How could Brother Li Zhe not remember her? And why was he so cold when he spoke to her?

But this is good too. He saved me today, so now I have a chance to pester him, right?

With a quick glance, Tang Xiaoyan had an idea.

next day

Yin Baicai got up very early; he was moving house today!

He didn't have much stuff; most of it had been burned by Tian Xiaoqiang last time.

Yin Baicai quickly gathered a couple of pieces of clothing and a washbasin, prepared breakfast, and Wu A'nai fed the chickens. The two of them ate breakfast together.

Grandma Wu asked, "Does Cai-ge'er want me to take it over for you?"

"Grandma, you can rest now. I can carry these things myself. I'm sorry to have bothered you these past few days. I'll call you over for dinner once I've finished tidying up!"

After saying goodbye to Grandma Wu, we had only gone halfway when we saw Li Zhe rushing over.

Li Zhe clearly noticed Yin Baicai as well, and strode over to take the things from her hands: "Let me take them for you!"

Yin Baicai naturally handed the things to Li Zhe, without even realizing that he had developed a dependence on Li Zhe.

When the two arrived, Yin Baicai looked at the newly built house and felt deeply moved, realizing that she had finally settled down in Peach Blossom Village.

It no longer felt empty like before. Yin Baicai pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside. She used to come and see it every day before it was repaired.

The feeling of everything being completed is truly different.

Yin Baicai extended her hand and joked, "We'll be new neighbors from now on, let's shake hands."

Li Zhe was puzzled, but he still reached out and held Yin Baicai's hand. He could feel that Yin Baicai's hand still had a lot of calluses.

However, Cai Ge'er's hands are really small; I can completely hold his two hands with just one hand.

Li Zhe smiled and said, "Yes, a new neighbor."

"Hehe, it really feels like moving into a new house and greeting the neighbors." As she spoke, Yin Baicai pulled her hand away.

Seeing the reluctance in Li Zhe's eyes, she wished she could hold on like this forever and never let go!
