When he got home, Xiao Cheng boiled hot water, scooped it into the bucket as usual, and brought it to the bathroom.

I washed some cold water and probed the temperature that Bai Lu usually used before asking Bai Lu to take a bath.

Bai Lu finished taking a bath, and Xiao Cheng took a bath.

After going to the hospital, the child's matter was already obvious, and Bai Lu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Xiao Cheng washing clothes again, he didn't need to do this for the child again.

"I'll wash it." Bai Lu walked to the well, in front of the laundry tub, and wanted to take over the laundry.

Xiao Cheng didn't raise his head, continued to rub his clothes, and said lightly: "You go back to sleep."

The voice is flat and there is no emotion.

In the broken vat where ginger, onions and garlic are planted, the cheerful cries of small crickets sound, and fireflies flutter their wings and fly around the yard, as if to break the peace of the night with joy.

The vanishing moon, I don't know when it came out again, the silver-white light sprinkled the man's tall and lonely back, he sat on the small bench, his movements skillfully rubbed his clothes, and his voice was as cold as a machine, and the interval was regular.

Bai Lu squatted down and reached for the laundry tub, wanting to wash his clothes, but was brushed away by the man.

Said in a cold voice: "I said go back to sleep."

Xiao Cheng took people to collect accounts, and he was used to giving orders, and he didn't like people to disobey him.

Again and again, he is looking for death.

Bai Lu knew, didn't cling anymore, silently withdrew his hand, got up, and walked back to the main house through the courtyard.

Go back to the room, open the drawer on the far right of the wooden table, and take out all the money you have earned during this time.

Count them and set them on the table.

The original body was not favored in the original family, and he wore old clothes, and he didn't bring much with him.

After Bai Lu came over, he was only busy making money, and he didn't have the heart to buy new clothes, so he only had a cloth bag to pack up.

Then put on the books and scrolls given by Lin Jinfan, the cloth bag was slightly bulging, but nothing leaked out.

The bag is neither big nor small, with a long coarse cloth shoulder strap sewn at both ends, which can only be carried on one shoulder.

The record book of the purchase and sale of sugar-fried chestnuts, Bai Lu also sorted it out and put it on the table to press the money.

After packing up all the things, Bai Lu took the cloth bag to the wooden chair next to the bed and sat down, and the cloth bag was placed at her feet.

Things must always be made clear, without saying goodbye, not in the family rules and etiquette engraved in Bai Lu's bones.

I didn't say anything all the way back, and I was in the yard just now...... Bai Lu could sense that Xiao Cheng was angry, she was angry that she and Li Xuelan used a fake pregnancy to deceive him of 30,000 yuan, angry that she knew the facts, but she never confessed.

In the end, she is at a loss, and whoever lets her take this body, whether the cause and effect is good or bad, has to be borne.

How Xiao Cheng wants to retaliate, or let it go, the best and worst outcome, Bai Lu is mentally prepared.

Bai Lu sat on the wooden chair, naturally returning to her usual upright sitting posture, her upper body was straight, her shoulders were straight, her knees were together, her calves were perpendicular to the ground, her arms were naturally bent, and her hands were folded in the middle of her legs.

Wait in silence.

Xiao Cheng did his laundry tonight, and it took a long time later than usual to come back, a long time, a long time.

When he came back, he saw Bai Lu smiling, sitting on a wooden chair next to the bed, which was a sitting posture he had never seen whether he went to the city or the rich and noble families in the city to collect debts.

Her smile was standard, not sweet.

Her sitting posture is dignified and elegant, which has never been seen in the past, not even once.

She got up and walked to the wooden table, her gait was generous and decent, and her movements with a notebook and money in her hand were relaxed.

Came to him and looked at him, his eyes were clean and clear, without the slightest timidity.

Even the voice that speaks is not as lively as before, with ups and downs.

Instead, calmly: "The money from selling sugar and fried chestnuts during this period is here, a total of 6,080 yuan." On the first day of selling fried chestnuts with sugar, the hundred dollars you put on the table were also inside, the top one. ”

"Wang Cuihua, Yu Fugui and Wen Xiuyun are now selling sugar-fried chestnuts for three days to settle accounts. The last time was the day before yesterday, and the accounts of yesterday and today were not settled, and the numbers were already recorded in the book. It is clear who took how many catties of chestnuts and how much they could sell them. ”

"The chestnuts you went to Xiaojia Village to buy yesterday totaled 9,350 catties and cost 1,870 yuan. The value of the unmade chestnuts is 1,870 yuan, plus the net profit of the sugar-fried chestnuts that have been sold is 6,080 yuan in cash, with a total value of 7,950. ”

The book and money were sent to the front by slender and white hands, but Xiao Cheng didn't take it, and he didn't even look at it.

His dark eyes looked at Bai Lu fixedly.

Bai Lu's heart was as calm as water, her face was as usual, and she continued: "I went to the hospital for an examination just now, and the words that the female doctor said to you, I think you can already think that pregnancy will not have menstruation, and I am indeed not pregnant."

Xiao Cheng's face did not change in the slightest, he was calm and indifferent, and his deep eyes looked directly at Bai Lu, as if he was waiting for her to continue.

The memory of the drunken night, in the original mind, is very well preserved, the whole process has passed, Bai Lu has seen it, and the truth of the matter is clear and clear in his heart.

Unhurriedly spoke: "That night, I was drunk and my brain was groggy, I was going to go to the bathroom, I entered the wrong room for you, I went to the bathroom and came out, and saw a bed in the room, so I went to sleep."

Her tone was natural, frank and open, as if she was talking about her own business, and she had experienced it herself.

Xiao Cheng's deep eyes narrowed slightly.

Fragments flashed through my mind.

That night, he and Luo Sixteen, Xiao Dazhuang, and Wang Hao went to a song and dance hall in the city to collect the bills.

The cabaret couldn't turn over the funds, and the boss Hong Wanfu asked him for a week's grace, and he agreed.

Hong Wanfu invited them to eat, sing, and drink in the dance hall...... They also opened a box to sleep in.

White wine, red wine, foreign wine, whiskey...... There was a little high-grade wine in the dance hall, and Hong Wanfu went to one round after another, and drank round after round...... He was drunk.

was helped to the room by Luo Sixteen and Xiao Dazhuang, took off his shoes, lay on the bed, and covered himself with a quilt.

Luo Sixteen and Xiao Dazhuang went back to their respective rooms.

It wasn't long before the door opened the room, the lights didn't come on, and there was the sound of stumbling footsteps coming in.

He thought it was Luo Sixteen, Xiao Dazhuang, and forgot to take something back to get it, so he didn't care.

The drunken mind was full of messy drinks, which made him unable to think, and the heavy hands and feet that were paralyzed on the bed did not listen to the call, and he couldn't get up when he thought about it.

In a trance, the sound of slightly dragging messy footsteps stumbled towards the bed.

Then, a dark shadow fell from the bed.

He forced the last remaining bit of consciousness and shouted Luo Sixteen, and the black shadow moved.

But he didn't respond, he shouted Xiao Dazhuang again, and the black shadow moved again, still without a response.

He tried to open his eyes, but his heavy eyelids couldn't hold them up, and there was a strong smell of alcohol in his nose, whether it was on his side or on the other side of the bed.

Doesn't smell any familiar smells.
