Chapter 234 - 223: Fear of Cows
Junior Ms. Qian gave an awkward smile, and whispered, "Manbao, you go and get in line, sister-in-law can handle it by myself."
Manbao shook her head, checked on the soup she was stewing, and Bai Shanbao also ran in, helping her carry the soup to the table.
Once Ms. Qian had laid out the dishes and rice, the fast-arriving students had already queued up amidst noise and chatter. Only then Ms. Qian began to serve the meals.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao took their bowls and joined the end of the line.
Bai Erlang rushed to the front, and quickly got his share. Seeing them standing at the end of the line, he expressed his surprise, "Why are you two lining up here?"
Bai Shanbao said, "Guess!"
Bai Erlang was too lazy to guess. Cast a glance at Manbao, he huffed twice and left with his head held high.
Turning to Manbao, Bai Shanbao said, "He’s still angry."
Manbao conveyed understanding.
Last time they made a bet, Bai Erlang lost, but he insisted he didn’t lose, convinced he didn’t get a suntan, and accused Bai Shanbao of bias for taking her side.
But when they asked Old Madam Bai, Mrs. Bai, Old Master Bai, Ms. Liu, and Ms. Zheng, to everyone’s surprise, they all said that Bai Erlang looked darker than the day before. Reluctantly, he handed over the two zodiac figures he lost to Manbao.
