Chapter 2: Go, go, jump into the fire pit!
Just as Bai Weiwei was about to speak, Bai Zhicheng's unfriendly voice came from the doorway.
"Bai Zhi, come out quickly, the comrades from Nancheng are here."
Bai Zhicheng has been in a very bad mood these past few days. His family has become the laughing stock of the whole village, and he is too ashamed to even leave his house.
Fortunately, Bai Zhi was obedient and let them make arrangements.
At least the marriage with the Lu family was saved.
Bai Zhi carefully placed the half of the jade pendant left by her mother into her underwear. It was what Bai Zhicheng returned to her last night when she agreed to marry into the Lu family.
They used this half of the jade pendant to threaten her into marrying Zhao Kai.
Now, the jade pendant is finally back in her hands.
She picked up her cloth bag and walked straight out of the north room.
Zhao Kai was chopping wood in the yard when he saw Bai Zhi come out carrying a cloth bag. She didn't even glance at him. As Bai Zhi's ex-boyfriend, he felt a little defeated.
To be honest, Bai Zhi is much prettier than Bai Weiwei.
She has a tall and slender figure, a slim waist and full hips, and her face is the most beautiful in the surrounding area.
only.......
She wasn't Yang Guihua's biological daughter, so she wasn't well-liked at home.
Bai Zhicheng and Yang Guihua love Bai Weiwei dearly and will definitely help them with their lives in the future.
Unlike Bai Zhi, whose stepmother wished she could kick her out and sever all ties.
This is also why he decided to play along after sensing Bai Weiwei's feelings that night.
Bai Zhicheng instructed, "When you get to the Lu family, be more sensible and diligent, and cultivate good relationships with them. Once the wedding date is set, write a letter back, and we'll attend."
"Mm." Bai Zhi just wanted to leave this house as soon as possible and didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she responded indifferently.
When Yang Guihua saw the large truck parked outside and the two comrades in military uniforms getting out of it, and then looked at the thin, disheveled Zhao Kai, her heart bled.
She felt like tearing Bai Weiwei apart.
Since she wasn't marrying her own daughter, she was very indifferent to the two comrades. Although Bai Zhicheng gave her several meaningful glances, she still kept a sullen face and showed no intention of inviting them into the house.
A man with a buzz cut, wearing military trousers and a white shirt, stepped forward and introduced himself to Bai Zhicheng, "Uncle Bai, hello, my name is Zhang Lei, I am Chief Lu's bodyguard, and this is Officer Li. We were sent by Chief Lu to pick up Miss Bai Zhi. You should have already received the letter."
Bai Zhicheng nodded eagerly, "Received, received."
Bai Zhicheng invited them inside to rest for a while, but when Zhang Lei saw Bai Zhi come out, he smiled and politely declined, saying he had to hurry.
Bai Weiwei followed Bai Zhi out of the house. When she saw the crew-cut man talking to her father in the yard, a look of disgust appeared on her face.
This Zhang Lei is a fierce and menacing man; he must have terrified her quite a bit in the Lu family in her past life.
Bai Zhi is so timid, I hope she won't be scared to death by this person on the way back to Nancheng.
“Miss Baizhi, if you are ready, let’s get in the car. It takes five hours to get to Nancheng from here. If we leave now, we will arrive this afternoon.”
Bai Zhi politely replied to Zhang Lei, "Okay, thank you both for your hard work."
Bai Zhi was poised and confident, neither arrogant nor humble. Although she wore faded old clothes, she was bright and pretty, with a calm and gentle demeanor. Her Mandarin was even more standard than that of the bodyguard, and she gave people a very comfortable feeling.
Zhang Lei had previously wondered why his superior wanted to find a partner for his younger brother from the countryside.
At this moment, he had to admire the old commander's foresight.
Bai Zhi turned around gracefully and left the Bai family's wooden gate without any hesitation.
Zhao Kai stopped chopping wood and looked at her straight back, feeling uncomfortable.
Bai Weiwei noticed Zhao Kai's gaze, and she subtly blocked his view.
Her face was contorted, she gritted her teeth, and stared at Bai Zhi's retreating figure, roaring inwardly.
Go ahead, go ahead, jump into the fire pit!
Once Bai Zhi was on the jeep, Yang Guihua, whose heart was bleeding, finally couldn't control her inner rage and scratched Bai Weiwei's face.
She glared at the listless man who couldn't even split a single piece of firewood, and roared, "Idiot, what's wrong with you? Why would you turn down such a good marriage opportunity and insist on marrying this spineless coward Zhao Kai?"
Zhao Kai felt rejected; his hand holding the axe trembled slightly, and his gaze turned cold.
Bai Weiwei dodged Yang Guihua's clutches and impatiently explained again, "Mom, I've already told you, Lu Ye was shot in the chest and injected with poison. He won't live much longer. Am I supposed to marry him and become a widow?"
"Who told you that? You've never even left the village, where did you get this information from?" Yang Guihua didn't believe Bai Weiwei's words at all.
This girl has been acting strangely for the past two weeks.
It's like being possessed by an evil spirit.
Bai Weiwei used to look down on Zhao Kai's family, but starting half a month ago, she went to the Zhao family eight times a day. She not only helped Zhao Kai's mother, who was sick, with her laundry and cooking, but also gave her two best clothes to the lame girl in the Zhao family.
They finally managed to use Bai Zhi's biological mother's belongings as leverage to force Bai Zhi to agree to the marriage with the Zhao family and get engaged, so that Bai Weiwei could also marry into the military compound and enjoy a life of luxury.
It's all ruined now.
She can't be the mother-in-law of an officer, and she can't be related to the military compound through marriage.
Bai Weiwei made up a reason: "Didn't you guys ask me to impersonate Bai Zhi and write a letter to that person before? That's what he said in his reply."
Yang Guihua was frustrated and angry. Even if, as she said, Lu Ye was seriously injured and could not marry, there were still more than two men in the world. Why did she have to marry Zhao Kai, this poor and stingy man?
"Don't ask anymore. Anyway, Brother Kai will definitely be successful in the future. Just wait and enjoy the good life."
Yang Guihua looked utterly dejected, but Bai Weiwei's tone was so confident and certain that her eyes darted around frantically as she began to speculate.
Could it be that her daughter is close to the Zhao family and knows some of their secrets?
For example, there might be antiques buried under the yard?
Last year, when Zhang Dazui's family in the village was demolishing their old house, they dug up a jar of silver dollars.
Just as Yang Guihua was thinking, Zhao Kai, who was chopping wood, gave Bai Weiwei a wink. Bai Weiwei understood, took Yang Guihua's hand, and cautiously began to speak.
"Mom, don't be angry. I'll make sure you, Dad, and my brother all benefit from this in the future."
Now, Yang Guihua can only console herself that perhaps Zhao Kai will really become rich in the future.
Just as she was daydreaming, Bai Weiwei spoke up again in a coquettish tone, "Mom, could you lend us a bag of flour? We've used up all the flour because of the wedding in the family."
Yang Guihua's relaxed expression instantly tightened, and she roared at the top of her lungs, "Get out! Get out of here! If you can't live anymore, go hang yourself! I have no face to lend you!"
Bai Zhi had already gotten into the car, and Bai Zhicheng kept holding the car window and giving Bai Zhi all sorts of instructions, so the driver couldn't drive.
Hearing Yang Guihua's shrewish roar coming from the courtyard, she couldn't help but chuckle.
She came to her parents' house to borrow noodles right after getting married?
Ah, these "good days" have only just begun.
