Chapter 188 - 188 Yang Baoshan
188 Yang Baoshan
Zhao Zhan looked up and recognized that it was Yang Baoshan, who was very close to Zhao Wencai. His eyes turned cold. “I only collect dried soybeans. As for the things in your field, you can only start after everyone has finished collecting theirs.”
He had heard from his lover about this person and Zhao Wencai’s secret plan. Now that the other party couldn’t help but take the initiative to find him, Zhao Zhan couldn’t let them succeed.
“Maozhong, has your wife been busy recently? If she’s free, can you ask her to help find a few more people to skewer the chili? They can hang these chilies under the eaves to dry for easy storage.”
Although he was closer to Yang Dashan and his wife, compared to Li Miao, Gu Xiaoyu was more popular in the village. It would be better for her to manage people.
Yang Maozhong racked his brains, but he never thought that there would be such a good thing as a free lunch.
He could tell that Zhao Zhan was an honest man. He had helped him for two days, and he had given him a money-making job.
He had thought that if something good happened, Zhao Zhan would think of Yang Dashan and his wife first.
“Don’t worry. She can take care of this matter.” Yang Maozhong patted his chest and promised Zhao Zhan. Then, he glanced at Yang Dashan who was next to him, and said, “We’ll make sure that everything goes smoothly. You can leave it up to us!”
“Maozhong, your family can finally fix that broken house during the New Year.”
Although Yang Maozhong and Gu Xiaoyu were more capable than the other, they had too many children at home. Therefore, the amount of food and silver they collected all year round could only barely fill their stomachs.
Who knew that with Zhao Zhan’s honesty, they’d be able to earn some quick bucks? When he spoke, he was genuinely envious.
Of course, Yang Baoshan was the only exception.
She glared at Zhao Zhan with a face full of resentment, then quietly left without saying anything.
Zhao Wencai had been waiting for a long time behind Li Miao’s house’s bean straw pile. When she saw Yang Baoshan coming out, she approached him with a shifty look. “Baoshan, how long will Zhao Zhan be staying there?”
“He’s got a long way to go.” Yang Baoshan sneaked up to her and put on a wretched face. “Weren’t you thinking about that vixen from Zhao Zhan’s family the last time? Although the walls of their house are high, I have already thought of a way of getting in.”
Yang Baoshan’s eyes were filled with hatred.
Both he and Zhao Zhan were the biggest problems in Willow Village. They had many twisted ways to make money.
It just so happened that they bumped into each other once, and the two of them hit it off.
“There are broken pieces of porcelain stuck in the wall of Zhao Zhan’s house.” Zhao Wencai thought of how she had secretly climbed over the wall when Zhao Zhan and the other two were not at home, and she felt a little pain in her palm when she climbed over.
“They’re cunning little devils that are fooling everyone in the village.”
“It’s fine. I found a place with fewer broken pieces of porcelain. We can sneak in and scare the vixen while Zhao Zhan isn’t home. She’ll cry and scream for help, but no one will come to save her!”
“Then you can go first, I’ll stay downstairs to keep watch for you.”
Zhao Wencai was still a little scared, but he wanted to see Zhao Zhan in trouble more than anyone else. If it wasn’t for Zhao Zhan, he would still be lying at home and waiting for his mother to earn money. It wouldn’t be like now, where he had to be watched by Lizheng every month on parole.
Yang Baoshan wished he could go in alone.
He ran to the place where the ladder was hidden and gestured.
“Zhao Zhan, I will climb up the tree next to their courtyard wall in a bit. You can hand me the ladder from the bottom.
“I’ve measured this ladder. One end should be on the tree and the other end will reach the courtyard wall. It’ll be the perfect height to climb up. This way, we won’t get injured.”
The more they talked, the more excited they became. Chengfeng, who had been lying by Yue Jiaojiao’s feet in the room, stood up with a grunt. He used his two claws to tug at the hem of Yue Jiaojiao’s dress, while turning his head to look outside and making a whining sound.
Chengfeng had made a few howls when he first saw Li Miao, but now, judging from his movements, it was obvious that there was a stranger outside.
It couldn’t be that someone wanted to steal something while Zhao Zhan was busy in the fields, right?
Yue Jiaojiao held Chengfeng in her arms and gently rubbed his back.
Chengfeng immediately quieted down and looked at her with his round, golden eyes.
Yue Jiaojiao stood by the door and swept her gaze across the area. There was clearly no wind, but the branches of the large tree on the west side of the courtyard wall swayed inexplicably.
She was afraid that she would be discovered if she went out at this time. If she got caught, the other party might do something desperate and capture her. Therefore, Yue Jiaojiao returned to her room and locked the door from the inside.
