When Wen Qingwan saw two grown men kneeling on the ground, she flipped down and, striking a fighting pose, said: “Come at me if you dare!
Xiao Jin looked at the stern, murderous air flashing across her bright face, and a trace of excitement flickered in his eyes. His little girl was like a wild kitten.
Leng Yan really wanted to step forward and pull their madam away, but their master glared at them and said: “Who let you in? Get out at once.”
The second-floor door closed.
Wen Li lowered his head, thinking about information related to North City. Jiang Yunhao had appeared here for no apparent reason.
If it was purely for cooperating with the Fu family, this would be making a fuss over nothing.
From the woman’s disappearance in North City, to Wanta’s location, and the tension between the Li and Mo families—none of it happens without a reason.
From time to time, gunshots rang out in the quiet mountains, disturbing the originally peaceful forest.
Icicles that had clung to the trees for two months now tumbled to the ground. From above, the dense white frost-covered forest revealed fleeting glimpses of black-clad figures weaving through the trees.
Two cars stopped in the middle of the main road.
As night falls, the most famous sight in the north is the starry sky beneath the snow-capped peaks.
Because of the relatively high elevation, the night sky here is the most beautiful—stars fill the sky, and constellations like Orion and the Big Dipper can all be seen clearly.
Beneath the breathtaking stars, sitting here brings a sense of calm—it can quiet even the most restless of hearts.
Zhao, fuming and speaking sharply, snapped: “So, Third Sister-in-law buys a chicken, but instead of eating it at her own place, she goes off to someone else’s house? What’s the meaning of that? Do you look down on us, afraid we might get a share?”
Zeng Xiaoyan snapped, “It’s my money — I’ll spend it however I want! If you’re so upset, go buy your own chicken and slaughter it at someone else’s house. I won’t say a word!”
Xu Zhichun said to the other two, “People say husband and wife are one, and by rights, we shouldn’t be hiding this money-making method from our men. But think about it — if he knows, and his parents, brothers, or relatives start asking, what’s he supposed to do? If he tells them, everyone will know, and our business won’t be worth much. If he doesn’t, they’ll blame him for keeping secrets. So better we don’t tell them at all. If anyone asks, we just say it’s the three of us women earning a bit of pocket money, nothing serious. That way, no one feels entitled to poke their nose in, right?”
That will be a no.
Logically, had she prepared it before, it’s unlikely she would’ve consumed it alone. Her brother-in-law would have sampled it as well.
If she slip up in front of her brother-in-law, there’s no way to cover it up.
Xu Zhichun shook her head with a quiet sigh. “I’d been busy with the work, just focused on tending the fields while waiting for Minglang to return. But now things have turned out differently. If I don’t find a way to earn money, the days ahead will be hard. So I thought I’d give it a try.”
