Chapter 249: Really Stingy

Chapter 249: Really Stingy

Ye Rufeng's indifferent words made Bai Zhi roll her eyes. "Seriously? So stingy?"

She shook Ye Rufeng's arm and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, my family is so stingy, they won't give me a single penny as dowry. I'll be looked down upon if I marry into their family."

After putting his things down, Lu Ye reached the door and hurriedly explained, "I wouldn't do that."

Bai Zhi saw the man standing innocently at the door and waved to him, "Go ahead and do your thing, go heat up your medicine and drink it."

Bai Zhi clung to Ye Rufeng, looking aggrieved and pleading, "Grandpa, you're so stingy with me! I've been with you at Derentang for so many days, seeing so many patients, and you haven't given me a single penny."

She muttered, "Who are you saving all that money for?"

Ye Rufeng said with a serious expression, "I'll take care of myself in my old age."

“Retirement doesn’t cost that much. Besides, you still have me and my uncle to take care of you.”

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words,

Ye Rufeng's usually calm and composed expression froze slightly.

“My uncle will definitely take care of you in the future, and I will also fulfill my filial duties.”

When Bai Zhi mentioned Ye Tiandong in front of Ye Rufeng, her tone was relaxed and natural, without any intention of avoiding the topic. After she finished speaking, she continued to pester Ye Rufeng, "So, you have to give to receive. You can't be so stingy and make me feel disheartened."

"Get lost."

"Grandpa, how about buying me a motorcycle? I can take you wherever you want to go, and we can go for a ride."

Ye Rufeng said unhappily, "If you have money, go buy it yourself."

"Where would I get money?"

To Bai Zhi's words, Ye Rufeng only gave her two words, "Hehe."

When money was mentioned, Bai Zhi felt a little guilty, so she changed her tune, saying, "You'll give me a dowry."

“If you don’t provide a dowry, I’ll have my uncle provide one. I believe that when my uncle hears that I’m getting married, he will definitely provide a grand dowry so that I can have a dignified wedding.”

"Go and rest, don't bother me."

Ye Rufeng didn't want to pay any attention to her, nor did he respond to the topic of dowry. He returned to his room in a very aloof manner.

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes and complained, "They get stingier the richer they are."

She complained, but planned to find some time tomorrow to ask Shen Qian to go sell motorcycles.

Having no means of transportation is so inconvenient.

She hummed a song as she went back to her room, intending to go to sleep.

When she entered the room and turned on the light, she was startled to see the man sitting in front of the bed. "Why are you looking like a ghost?"

This person secretly hid in her room without turning on the lights, which terrified her.

Without saying a word, the man pulled the person into his arms.

Bai Zhi was afraid to make a sound, so she huddled in his arms, not daring to utter a single sound.

The girl snuggled into his arms, and the man felt his heart melt.

He had an urge to meld her into his very bones.

He held her in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Xiaobai, I love you."

He suddenly confessed his feelings, and the woman in his arms felt a slight tremor in her heart. "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I love you."

He held her tighter, kissed her neck, and whispered, "Do you love me?"

"I........"

She paused, clearly sensing his growing tension as he held her tighter, making her feel breathless.

"like."

The man was greatly encouraged by her single word, and his emotions surged. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Bai Zhi reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, so he simply picked her up and she ended up clinging to him passively.

Bai Zhi struggled to get down and pushed him away, "Stop, my grandfather heard the noise."

Afraid that he would pounce on her again, she made a stopping gesture and put some distance between them. "Control yourself, or my grandfather will change his mind."

He stood there, not overstepping any boundaries, but just looking at her with a smile on his lips, "I have a wife now, I'm a little excited."

"Isn't that silly?" Bai Zhi chuckled.

He said in a serious tone, "Not stupid. How could a stupid person marry such a beautiful wife?"

"Lu Ye, I've discovered that you can be quite glib and witty when you're being sarcastic."

Where's the aloof and powerful demon king we were promised?

"How is that being glib-tongued?" He seemed reluctant to agree with this description.

"Is my tongue smooth?" He made a move to lean in and kiss me again. "Want to try?"

Bai Zhi hurriedly stepped back, making a gesture to protect her chest, saying, "Don't try that."

Lu Ye stopped teasing her and sat down on the bench. He looked at her seriously and said, "Wife, you don't need to bring any dowry. Your marriage to me is my greatest happiness and a blessing for our Lu family. We lack nothing and don't need any dowry."

"You don't need to worry about that."

Of course she knew that the Lu family didn't care about dowry.

She herself didn't necessarily need to use the size of her dowry to bolster her image.

I was just joking with her grandfather today.

Of course, they also wanted to rip off the old man.

They wanted the old man to bleed.

Only when he spends money on her will the old man truly feel the affection between them.

Otherwise, this kind of kinship that happens halfway through life feels like a dream.

Bai Zhi didn't mention the dowry again. Now that she had some free time, she thought of Ye Tiandong's matter. "I wonder if my uncle has completed the formalities yet."

Lu Ye said, "Let's call and ask tomorrow morning."

He got up, patted her head, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

She then left her room and went back to her own room to rest.

......

The next morning, after getting up, Lu Ye first went to the kitchen to boil some dough, and then started to light the honeycomb briquette stove, intending to brew medicine for himself.

Just as the stove was lit, someone knocked on the door.

The courtyard was filled with smoke from the stove he was burning. He put the clay pot on the stove and called out, "Wait a minute."

Then, he walked over in his slippers and opened the door.

Seeing the travel-worn man standing at the gate, Lu Yejun froze, "Why are you here so early in the morning?"

Ye Qingbai carried a camouflage luggage bag and looked exhausted. "I took the train last night, so of course I arrived early this morning."

"Come in."

As soon as Ye Qingbai entered the courtyard, he raised his hand to fan himself, "It's choking! Where did all this smoke come from?"

Has my second grandfather gotten up yet?

Lu Ye replied, "I should sleep for another half hour. My grandfather usually gets up at 7:15 in the morning."

“That means he hasn’t woken up yet.” Ye Qingbo couldn’t wait to say, “He’s divorced. My uncle has finally divorced that woman.”

"Have the formalities been completed?" Lu Ye's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing his words, and he asked eagerly.

Ye Qingbai nodded, "It's done."

"I staked out with Manager Cui all night, and sure enough, she was going to run away. Luckily, Brother Ye, you had the foresight, otherwise the divorce proceedings definitely wouldn't have gone so smoothly yesterday."

"It's good that they're divorced. Uncle should be free now."

Lu Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The first thing to do is to quickly share this good news with Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi's door was still closed, and Lu Ye planned to go and wake her up.

He said to Ye Qingbai, "Go to my room and rest for a while. I'll go wake Xiaobai up."

"good."

When Bai Zhi heard people talking in the courtyard, she quickly got up and put on her clothes.

Lu Ye pushed the door open and entered.

She had just put on her underwear, and was still holding her sweater in her hand.

Seeing the man swagger in through the door, she froze in her dressing, glaring at him with eyes blazing with fury.

"Don't you know how to knock?"

Lu Ye spread his hands innocently, "I thought it was locked, so I just knocked and it opened."

Bai Zhi, "!!!"
