Chapter 12
I’ll Pay
Lizheng didn’t believe that it would rain. He was just tired from standing and wanted to sit under the shed for a while, so he agreed.
Zhao Kuazi planned to play dead to the end.
Would Zhao Zhan really let her continue lying on the ground?
No matter what, she had raised Zhao Zhan for several years. With his character of only knowing how to work like an ox, the few words he said today must have been taught by the little devil.
If he really had to watch her lie on the ground for the rest of his life, Zhao Kuazi reckoned that he wouldn’t be able to do it.
Zhao Kuazi was a little angry when she thought about this. Zhao Zhan was obviously very good at hunting, but he didn’t show it at all when he was living at her house. If she had known that a few pieces of leather could be sold for so much money, she wouldn’t have driven Zhao Zhan away.
“Jiaojiao, are you hungry?” Zhao Zhan couldn’t stay idle under the shed. He took out the last remaining wild chicken eggs and boiled some water, planning to make an egg custard for Yue Jiaojiao.
“I’ll make some for you to fill your stomach first, then I’ll continue cooking.
“And Lizheng, you can have lunch here today. Otherwise, you’ll have to come over again in the next half of the day.”
Lizheng nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll have a meal with you today. Oh my, was that lightning?”
A strong light flashed, and Lizheng subconsciously looked at the sky.
Originally, the sky was cloudless, but now, the distance was completely covered by large dark clouds, and they were getting closer and closer.
“It’s really going to rain.” Lizheng looked at Yue Jiaojiao in surprise.”How did you know?”
Yue Jiaojiao naturally wouldn’t say that she did it based on her feelings. Ever since she was young, it was as if she was born with the ability to seek fortune and avoid disaster. Her sixth sense was incredible.
Before she said those things, she thought of the weather and her intuition told her that it was going to rain.
“I’ve got good vision. I saw the dark clouds on the other side of the mountain just now.” Yue Jiaojiao sat in Zhao Zhan’s arms, her broken leg resting on the stool. “Listen, the rain is dropping down soon.”
Heavy rain poured down.
Zhao Kuazi, who was lying on the ground, felt the cold pain in her face from the rain.
However, she still gritted her teeth and endured it, thinking that if she held on a little longer, Zhao Zhan would definitely soften his heart.
The muddy ground in the courtyard was soon filled with potholes and a pile of muddy water. The husband was the first to give in and wanted to leave in a sorry state, but he saw that the courtyard door was locked again. “Zhao Zhan, are you going to drench your own uncle and aunt to death?”
Zhao Zhan was busy cooking and didn’t make a sound even when Yue Jiaojiao pinched him.
Yue Jiaojiao yawned lazily and waved her hand nonchalantly. “This rain is going to last for three days and three nights. Uncle, aren’t you going to think of a way to get the hairpin out of the water? It’ll hurt your bones if you keep soaking in the water like this. If something happens to you, you won’t be able to see or touch your grandson if you really have one in the future.”
“How can you be so vicious!”
Zhao Kuazi suddenly jumped up and wiped the muddy water from her face.”You cursed me to die early!”
This little goblin’s mouth was very poisonous.
If she said it would rain, who knew if anything else would work?
The two of them stood in the rain like two drenched chickens. Their clothes were wet and stuck to their bodies. They were so cold that they kept shivering. “Let’s go home. I’ll get you money. I’ll pay you.”
Her heart ached as she hugged the pile of leather and clothes. She shouted at her husband, “Hurry up and put these things away with me then. Don’t waste these things for no reason. Didn’t you hear just now?! We can get eighteen silver if we sell this leather!”
