A knife in love

Chapter 2391
While speaking, the woman in white secretly glanced at Wu Xiucai.Just at this time, Wu Xiucai also looked at the woman in white. The two eyes met and turned their heads away hastily.Wu Xiucai's chest was thumping, his mouth was dry, his eyes were swollen, and he felt extremely embarrassed.In a panic, without any regard for restraint, he reached out to grab the wine glass in front of Bai Wei, and drank it in a flustered gulp.

Bai Wei just took away Wu Xiucai's wine glass and drank it, but he didn't drink the glass that Qing Mei filled for him.After Wu Xiucai entered the house, he was submissive and timid all the time, so Baiwei didn't take him seriously at all.Later, when the woman in white appeared, Bai Wei was horrified, his thoughts changed sharply, and he ignored Wu Xiucai even more.Unexpectedly, Wu Xiucai took his wine glass away suddenly, Bai Wei was startled and was at a loss for a moment, when he wanted to snatch the wine glass back, Wu Xiucai had already drank the wine in the glass.Bai Wei's face was livid, his eyes were fixed on Wu Xiucai, as if he was about to spew fire.Mother Li clapped her hands and laughed loudly, and said, "God's will! God's will! Mr. Bai, what else do you have to say?!"

Bai Wei gave Wu Xiucai a hard look, then slowly leaned his back on the back of the chair with a dull expression, staring at the steaming copper hot pot, and didn't say another word.Seeing Bai Wei's depressed appearance, Li's mother was ecstatic, she covered her mouth with her hand, and then covered her smile.After a while, she put her hands down, coughed dryly twice, then turned to the woman in white and said, "Le Niang, why don't you sit down and have a few drinks with the distinguished guest?"

The woman in white bowed to Wu Xiucai and Bai Wei, and then sat down on the chair next to Mother Li.Mother Li smiled at Wu Xiucai: "Mr. Wu, this girl is the goddaughter of the old woman, named Li Leniang. Although Le Niang is not the meat that fell out of the old woman's stomach, she is closer to the old woman than her own mother. In recent years The old lady had a headache, and it was Le Niang who came to take care of her. The old lady must have done a lot of good deeds in her previous life to get such a caring goddaughter out of thin air."

Mother Li looked at Li Leniang while talking.Li Leniang blushed, and said angrily: "Mother, you have gone too far. Back then, my daughter was murdered by a traitor and almost died. It was the mother who saw that her daughter was pitiful, so she hid her at home and escaped the thieves. Afterwards, I chose a good family for my daughter to marry, so that my daughter will be able to rely on her for life, this kind of great kindness, even the daughter's own parents will never be able to do it."

Wu Xiucai was very interested in hearing it at first, but when Li Leniang said that she was married, he was very disappointed and his expression immediately became gloomy.Bai Wei sat on the chair with a blank face, completely ignoring what Li's mother and Li Leniang said.Li's mother and Li Leniang saw Wu Xiucai's dejected expression, they couldn't help but looked at each other, and nodded slightly.Mother Li sighed, and said: "Le Niang, when you say this, the old lady feels more and more uneasy. Although Mr. Cheng's family treats you very well, it's a pity that he is a short-lived ghost. After only half a year of marriage, he will die. You got a sudden illness and died, which made you a widow at a young age. If it wasn't for the old woman who asked you to marry the Cheng family as a daughter-in-law, how could you have suffered like this?"

When Li's mother said this, she sighed, with a sad expression on her face.When Wu Xiucai heard Mama Li's words, she felt relieved, and couldn't help but glance at Le Niang.Seeing that she was dressed in plain clothes, thinking that she was still paying filial piety for her dead husband, she felt pity, and thought to herself that such a beautiful and charming lady, but only in her twenties, would be widowed, how pitiful she is.

Mama Li's voice just finished, Li Leniang shook her head, and said: "Mother, what you said is not right. The Cheng family is a big family, if it wasn't for the fact that the mother regarded her daughter as the eldest lady of the Li family, the Cheng family How could he accept his daughter? After his daughter married Mr. Cheng, although he died of a sudden illness only half a year later, the husband and wife loved each other and were very happy. They passed away within a year. The Cheng family's wealth is all owned by the daughter. Although the daughter has no husband, she lives a good life. I don't know how many women in the world are envious. The daughter is very grateful to her mother. How can there be any resentment?"

When Li Leniang said this, she paused for a while, turned her head to look at Bai Wei, and said, "Mr. Bai lived in seclusion in Xishan, and he is most familiar with Le Niang's life experience. You said that mother's great kindness to Le Niang, right? Rare in the world?"

Bai Wei listened to Li Leniang's words, so he bowed his body and said, "Le Niang is right. Mama Li, you have a warm heart, so don't be humble. Le Niang has no worries about food and clothing, life is very good, Mama Li There is no need to mention those sad things. Bai lives next to the two, which is really a blessing in a previous life. Now that Bai is old, she needs to take care of Li Mama and Le Niang."

Wu Xiucai was stunned when he heard Bai Wei's words, thinking to himself that this Mr. Bai is only 40 or [-] years old, how could he claim to be old, and still need Li Mama and Li Leniang to take care of him, it's too strange.Just now he was still arguing with Li's mother, why did he seem to be a different person after Li Leniang arrived, he was no longer as arrogant as before?

When Wu Xiucai was thinking about it, Li Leniang said with a smile: "Mr. Bai's words are exaggerated. There are many strange people and strangers hidden in the Western Mountains, but there are nine peaks and eighteen valleys in the Western Mountains. Who doesn't know Mr. Bai's name? Our mother and daughter I'm lonely and helpless, and I need to thank Mr. Bai for taking care of me."

Hearing what Li Leniang said, Bai Wei forced a smile, and said, "It's the best way. We need to take care of each other, so that we can get out of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible. If someone deliberately obstructs this, we will die together."

Wu Xiucai listened to Bai Wei's words, the more he listened, the more puzzled he became, thinking that Mr. Bai is also a scholar, why is he so unscrupulous at this time, and he has to take care of each other with Li's mother and Le Niang, and what he said "get out of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible", Is this sentence too outrageous?
Bai Wei finished speaking, only to hear Li's mother say with a smile: "Okay, okay, Mr. Bai would have said that earlier! Come on, let's have a drink together, so that we can settle our suspicions."

Mother Li raised her wine glass while speaking.Qing Mei quietly walked to the table, filled the glasses of Bai Wei, Wu Xiucai and Li Leniang with wine, and quietly stepped aside.Only then did the four of them raise their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

After Mama Li put down her wine glass, she picked up her chopsticks and said to Wu Xiucai and Bai Wei: "The food in the mountains is poor, so we can only serve guests with hot pot. Please don't blame the two gentlemen. The old lady doesn't pay much attention to hospitality. The two of you can do whatever you want."

After Li's mother finished speaking, Li Leniang also said a few words in agreement.The four picked up chopsticks and put sliced ​​meat, tofu, etc. into the hot pot.Wu Xiucai has been on the road desperately for the past few days, and only eats some dry food that he brings with him every day. At this time, he is already very hungry.So when he saw the sliced ​​meat rolling up and down in the hot pot, he moved his index finger, and without hesitation, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a few slices of meat, put them in his mouth, and started chewing.Seeing Wu Xiucai's appearance like this, Li Mama and Li Leniang were busy serving food and wine for him, the scene was very lively.
