The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Yin Baicai pushed open the door to the main room and saw that it was empty. Only then did she realize that she still had a lot of things to buy!

I ordered a large bed from a carpenter in town a couple of days ago, and today is the day to pay for it.

Yin Baicai took out her money box and saw that there wasn't much money left inside.

I paid Ge Tian and the others their wages yesterday, and after taking out the money I had spent on the bed reservation, I had very little left.

The money from Manager Zhang will not be settled for another two weeks.

I'm out of food in my house now, so I need to think of a way to make money.

Yin Baicai decided to go to town first to check out the market. If all else failed, he would try making and selling ice blocks!

It's the hottest time of the year now, and many wealthy families in town are buying ice to cool off. They're not worried about not making money!

Anyway, making ice isn't difficult. At worst, we can just take the low-profit, high-volume approach, lower the price of ice, and make it affordable for ordinary people.

Seeing that Yin Baicai's family had nothing, Li Zhe quickly went to his own house and carried over a bag of rice and a bag of flour.

He even brought over the spices that Yin Baicai bought to cook at his house.

Yin Baicai put the money in her pocket and then saw Li Zhe bringing her the grain.

"What are you doing, Li the bully! I have money, I can go to town and buy it myself."

Li Zhe had long known that Yin Baicai was short of money. The majority of her income had been spent on repaying her own twenty taels and settling the wages of Ge Tian and the others, leaving her with no money left to buy grain.

Li Zhe also had a secret worry: he was afraid that Yin Baicai would run out of money and secretly go to the gambling den behind his back.

He absolutely wouldn't allow this, so the last few times he went to Manager Zhang's place, Li Zhe went with Yin Baicai.

"This is a moving gift from me, please accept it!" Li Zhe said to Yin Baicai.

Yin Baicai chuckled: "Li the bully, you're such a good person!"

Li Zhe felt a little happy to be given the "friend zone" card, as no one had ever praised him as a good person before!

His soldiers were all afraid of his authority, and the opposing forces called him a cold-faced demon. Cai Ge'er was the first person to bring down a good person like himself.

Li Zhe's cold face softened, his eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Yin Baicai sensed Li Zhe's happiness, but he didn't understand. All he did was praise Li the bully as a good person. Why was he so happy? Did he like being praised?

That's easy! With my praise expert Yin Baicai online, I guarantee you'll be even happier.

Yin Baicai locked the courtyard gate. "I'm going to town for a stroll today. Do you want to come?"

Li Zhe nodded without hesitation: "Go."

The two of them didn't bring Li Mo this time. Yin Baicai had a lot to do today, and he was afraid that bringing Li Mo would exhaust him.

Before leaving, Li Zhe prepared lunch for Li Mo, so that he could just bring it out to eat when he got hungry at noon.

Yin Baicai chattered away the whole way, in a very cheerful mood.

The villagers who went to the town market with him couldn't stand Yin Baicai's behavior and mocked him, "Oh! Moving into a new house really makes a difference. You can't hide your smugness. I really don't know what's so great about you."

Seeing this man's sour grapes attitude, Yin Baicai deliberately said, "Oh, Brother Li, you know, my house is so big, it's really spacious for me to live in by myself. Why don't we add more furniture? It's too empty."

Li Zhe knew that Yin Baicai was saying this on purpose, and agreed with him: "Okay, we'll go to town later and pick out some carefully."

The woman who had mocked Yin Baicai was furious and pinched her husband's arm hard: "It's all because of you, you good-for-nothing man! After all these years of marriage, we're still living in this dilapidated thatched hut..."

The man who was being pinched became unhappy, and the two started arguing on the roadside.

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Yin Baicai became smug.

"Hilarious! This is their fighting strength? I haven't even said anything yet!"

He turned to Li Zhe beside him and praised, "Li the bully did a good job, just like that, it'll infuriate them."

an hour later

The two finally arrived in town. Yin Baicai was so tired that she could barely straighten her back and was panting heavily, leaning on Li Zhe's arm.

"This mountain path is really difficult to climb. I want to make a lot of money to buy a cow," Yin Baicai said, panting.

Li Zhe waited until Yin Baicai had rested enough before saying, "How about we buy one together?"

Yin Baicai looked up excitedly: "Really?" But then she thought about it and gave up. She had just paid off her debts. If they were to buy cattle together, wouldn't she have to lend him money first?

Li Zhe noticed Yin Baicai's hesitation. He remembered what the young man had said when he paid back the twenty taels last time.

Even though he said he didn't owe him anything, the thought of how eager Li Zhe was to settle things with him still made him feel resentful.

Moreover, I still have the IOU from last time, and it says that it's not as simple as just paying off the money.

“Of course it’s true. If I buy it, you can use it too, and you won’t have to cut grass. Next time you come to town, you won’t have to walk the mountain road.”

Yin Baicai became more and more interested as she listened, and immediately made a decision: "Buy it. After I get things done, we'll go to Livestock Lane to take a look."

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, a smile flashed in Li Zhe's eyes.

The two arrived at the carpenter's house, where Yin Baicai paid the money and asked the carpenter to deliver the bed to Peach Blossom Village.

The carpenter readily agreed; after all, Yin Baicai was one of his biggest customers!

The custom-made king-size bed earned him quite a bit of money!

Yin Baicai reluctantly handed the silver to the shopkeeper, then touched the one or two taels of silver left in her pocket and exclaimed that the money was far from enough.

But the thought of sleeping in a 1.8-meter-wide bed tonight cheered me up.

Even if I roll around on this bed, I won't fall off.

The two had just stepped out of the alley when they ran into Zhou Xiaosan.

Zhou Xiaosan, who had already lost a lot of money recently, had his eyes light up as soon as he saw Yin Baicai.

Without even noticing Li Zhe behind Yin Baicai, he quickly walked over and grabbed Yin Baicai's sleeve: "Little God of Wealth, I've finally found you! I've been looking for you for so long!"

Yin Baicai didn't immediately recognize Zhou Xiaosan and asked, "Who are you?"

When Li Zhe saw Zhou Xiaosan pulling on Yin Baicai's sleeve, his face darkened, and he forcefully threw Zhou Xiaosan to the ground.

He said in an unfriendly tone, "Don't you dare pull my people."

Yin Baicai turned her head: "What nonsense are you talking about... What, who's your person?"

Ignoring Yin Baicai's rebuttal, Li Zhe stared gloomily at Zhou Xiaosan on the ground.

Zhou Xiaosan, who had been tripped and thrown, only then noticed Li Zhe's presence. He chuckled as he got up, saying, "Little God of Wealth, your big brother is really strong... haha."

Yin Baicai then remembered that this person was the same gambler she had met on her first visit to the gambling den who had struck up a conversation with her. How could he have changed so much in just a few months?

No wonder Yin Baicai didn't recognize him; Zhou Xiaosan is now unshaven and looks incredibly thin.

Just like a drunkard on the street, he's completely different from how he looked back then.
