As soon as Zhao Zhan entered the village, Yang Dashan approached him mysteriously, “I asked around. There were only three families who ate at in the village yesterday. One was my mother, one was Lizheng’s family, and the other was Zhao Wencai. However, he didn’t eat at at ho. Soone found him sneakily killing a chicken behind his house.”
“That chicken must have been secretly roasted and eaten by him and his wife. I bet his wife doesn’t know.”
As Yang Dashan said this, he was also a little embarrassed.
Out of the three, one had a grudge against him and the other against Zhao Zhan, so he ruled out Lizheng.
“Don’t tell anyone for now. I’ve thought of a way to rat them out.”
Zhao Zhan whispered to Yang Dashan. “You’re the smart one. You can even think of such a thod!” Yang Dashan nodded repeatedly with a look of admiration, “Leave this matter to . you can rest assured.”
“Dashan, you can give these vegetables to Li Miao first. I’ll go up the mountain to hunt so prey and bring them down. Then, I’ll let her decide how much she can use for each al.”
Zhao Zhan said as he handed over the basket full of vegetables.
“There are wolves on that mountain. You have to be careful!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”
Chengfeng was still in the treehouse. Zhao Zhan had seen a stall selling goat’s milk in town today. So h filled a bag with two copper coins. He had brought it up the mountain to feed Chengfeng first and then brought the cub to hunt.
On the other side, Yue Jiaojiao, who lived in town, heard soone knocking on her door not long after Zhao Zhan left.
She put the book back on the table and walked to the door to take a look through the crack.
It was not Zhao Zhan.
It was a strange girl.
Yue Jiaojiao cautiously opened the door to the courtyard with only a small gap. “you are?” She asked in a flat tone.
“I’m your neighbor. I heard that you’ve moved in today, so I ca to get to know you.” Shuqin held the pastry in her hands and said gently, “We’ll be seeing each other often in the future. It’s better to get to know each other in advance.”
Yue Jiaojiao didn’t reach out to take it. She did not like the woman in front of her.
The other party looked to be about 15 or 16 years old. The material of the dress she was wearing was not bad, but it was not expensive. Her actions were not like that of a master, but more like a servant girl.
Yue Jiaojiao was feeling impatient, but no one could read the true emotions on her face. She replied coldly, “Thank you for your kind intentions, but there’s no need for that. We probably won’t have much of a chance to et. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to close the door.”
“Wait a minute,” Shuqin shouted anxiously. As soon as she spoke, she knew that things were about to turn sour.
She was being too enthusiastic and too eager.
“I just can’t stay idle, so I wanted to get to know you and drop by,” she tried to make up for it and explained hurriedly, “Don’t misunderstand. You see, we’re about the sa age, we should have a lot to talk about.”
“It’s because I have a tender face. If you want to chat with , why don’t you ask your family’s adults to co forward?” Yue Jiaojiao deliberately stuck her head out to look to the side and said in a surprised tone, “You didn’t secretly take the pastries behind the elder’s back, did you? If that’s the case, I can’t accept it. If I eat the pastries and your family’s elder cos and asks for it from
again, what will I do then?”
“No, I don’t have any elders in my family.”
“No elders? You’re a young lady living alone?” Yue Jiaojiao deliberately sighed. “Then it’s not easy for you. Your days must be hard, right? Take the pastries back and reward yourself.”
Shuqin was dumbfounded.
What else could she say?
