Walking with the Villain, Lou Xiao'e's Alternative Love

The east room was bustling with activity, but the door to the west room was always tightly closed.

A symphony of pots and bowls gradually began to sound from the outer room.

Everyone who drank this old black tea felt their stomachs growling.

Just as I was about to go out and exercise, I heard children's voices in the yard.

"My second sister is back."

A short-haired woman came into the house, surrounded by several children.

"Hey! I'm home. Big sister, you asked for leave, right? Why didn't you bring my nephew back? Is my brother-in-law back from his business trip?"

He outputs so much without even taking a breath.

"Second sister, come here and let me introduce you."

After Sister Zhao introduced them and they greeted each other, they found out that Xiao Sanzi's family had ten people in total.

The third child's father is Zhao Hongxiang, 50 years old, and his mother is Zhao Chen, 44 years old.

The couple's marriage was arranged and they only met on their wedding day.

Aunt Zhao got married at the age of 14 and gave birth to four sons and four daughters.

Xiao Sanzi is the third oldest among his brothers and the sixth among his brothers and sisters.

Elder sister Zhao and second sister are already married, eldest brother is planning to get married at the end of the year, and even second brother has a fiancée.

This big family is considered a wealthy family no matter where they go.

At first glance, Zhao Erjie is a hot-tempered person who is good at talking and chatting.

"You guys sit here, I'll go help my mother." After saying that, the second sister took off her coat and went out.

Even though there are many children, they all have their own responsibilities.

Sweeping the yard, feeding pigs and chickens, chopping wood and fetching water, the scene is very harmonious.

"Set the table when you finish your work." Zhao Erjie shouted to the children in the yard.

Soon, a large kang table on the kang and a large round table on the ground were set up.

The dishes and chopsticks are also fully laid out.

Maybe it was because Zhao Erjie had a loud voice, the door to the west room finally opened.

Three men and one woman left with many thanks.

"Why are you back again?" A deep male voice sounded from the outer room.

"I don't want to argue with you when there are outsiders around." Zhao Erjie replied.

"You bastard, I don't know who you took after, you act like a firecracker every day."

"You said I was picked up, so why do you care who I take after? Maybe I take after that crazy Wang."

"roll roll roll……"

"Dad, please stop arguing with my second sister. You won't get any advantage, and you'll just make yourself angry. Why bother?"

Hearing Sister Zhao shouting from inside the house, the head of the family finally came in.

He is about 1.75 meters tall, with a square face. He doesn't look like a farmer digging for food in the soil, but more like a cadre.

Several people quickly got off the kang and greeted Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao enthusiastically asked everyone to continue sitting down and not to feel restrained.

Lu Bin quickly lit a cigarette for Uncle Zhao: "Uncle, we are here to ask you for help."

"It's not worth a single word of begging. Since you're here, there's no need to rush. We can talk after dinner."

"Okay, we'll listen to uncle."

"Second girl, serve us some dishes first and we'll drink first. The wine bug in my stomach is getting impatient."

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's already cooked."

"Look at you, boss. You can't even say a nice word."

"Dad, don't bother with her. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

A big bowl of pork stewed with vermicelli, a big bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork skin fried with bean sprouts, fried leek with tofu, stir-fried mushroom with meat, deep-fried small yellow croaker, deep-fried peanuts, and shredded potatoes with celery. A bowl of soybean paste, a few pickled vegetables, and a plate of pickled vegetables.

Wow! I am jealous just looking at it.

Lou Xiao'e and a few others sat at the kang table with Uncle Zhao and Sister Zhao, while Aunt Zhao and Second Sister Zhao sat at the floor table with their children.

Uncle Zhao took out the ginseng wine he made to entertain them.

At the table on the kang, except for Lou Xiao'e who didn't drink at all, the others all poured themselves a full glass of wine.

It was really a delicious meal, with a sip of wine and a bite of food. The authentic Northeastern cuisine made everyone eat to their heart's content.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Erjie took the lead in clearing the table.

Uncle Zhao then let Lu Bin speak.

Lu Bin told the whole story in detail, and Sister Zhao also added to it.

"I understand what you mean. You want me to treat the mine manager's mother so that I can pave the way for you to buy coal?"

"Well! The connections our leader has can't help us, and the factory is in urgent need of this batch of coal. If we rely on ourselves alone, I'm afraid we really won't be able to go back." Lu Bin said.

"I can do this, but I have one condition."

"You say."

"If one day in the future, anyone in my family comes to you for help, I will ask you to do a favor. It can be big or small, and it can be necessary or not. But I must make a promise from you. Think about it carefully and then answer me."

When they heard Uncle Zhao's conditions, several people lowered their heads in embarrassment.

If it was just a matter of money, it would be easy to talk about, but who can say for sure about this unknown thing? After all, they are just employees of the steel mill, not some big shots with connections everywhere.

Lu Bin thought for a while and said, "How about this, uncle? I will go to the town early tomorrow morning and call our leader to ask for instructions. If the leader agrees, that's great. If the leader disagrees, we can't just give you a perfunctory answer."

"Yes. But I will be going on a long trip the day after tomorrow, and I don't know when I will be back. If the matter is not done before I leave, you can only wait until I come back. Or you can find a master who is more capable than me, and then we, the Zhao family, also welcome you to be our guests."

What else can I say? Uncle Zhao has already made it so clear. I can only make a decision after I go to town and make a phone call tomorrow morning.

The group of four who were arranged to stay in the east wing did not hesitate and just had a good sleep.

After breakfast the next day, Brother Zhao drove the donkey cart and took Lu Bin, Liu Dalong and Sister Zhao to the town.

It was Lou Xiao'e who suggested that Sister Zhao go. If things go well, Sister Zhao can call people directly from the town to save her the trouble of going back and forth.

After packing up, Zhao Erjie went straight back to her home. She was anxious to get the mountain products she had picked for her eldest sister.

Xu Damao wanted to ask Uncle Zhao to see when he would have a child, but a group of fortune tellers came to his house. Before Uncle Zhao went to the west room, he said to him, "You should not have a good end, but your wife is blessed."

It was just such a simple sentence, and the couple was stunned for a long time.

"Is he really that crazy? This is not just some shaman dance! This is a living god." Xu Damao muttered to his wife.

Lou Xiao'e was also surprised. She was a person who believed in both science and metaphysics.

But even though she believed it, it was the first time she had seen it.

Aunt Zhao was holding her little son, who was not even one year old, and she looked at the couple's identical expressions and said with a smile, "This stuff! You have to believe it, but you can't believe it completely. As the saying goes, great fortune is destiny, small fortune has to be earned. Even if a person has great luck, he can't just wait for a pie to fall from his wife's womb, right?"

Yes! Such a simple and easy to understand philosophy...
