169 Baggage

A bunch of black-hearted people who found him a burden… Would they be willing to take care of their father who knew nothing at all?

It was impossible.

Zhao Jianji’s bitter days were still ahead.

“Alright, I’ll be here to look after things. Zhao Zhan, you should take your wife back. I’m sure she’s been scared by what happened today.”

Who would’ve thought that Zhao Kuazi would really dare to find a priest to splash blood on Yue Jiaojiao!

Zhao Zhan quickly thanked him. “Lizheng, sorry to trouble you again.”

Lizheng waved his hand to tell them to leave quickly and not get involved in this troublesome matter.

Li Miao and Yang Dashan had been waiting in the courtyard, listening to the movements of anyone entering. The constant noise made them very worried. Now, seeing the two people come back in one piece, Li Miao opened the courtyard door happily to welcome them in.

“How is it? Did you get bullied?”

Yue Jiaojiao shook her head and briefly explained what had happened earlier.

Li Miao was stunned. In the end, she couldn’t help but sigh.

“Zhao Kuazi is such a pitiful person. She has raised so many ingrates that even the people around her are cold-hearted.

“That’s why I say, there’s nothing good about that family! Jiaojiao, what you said before was right. A woman can’t spend her entire life on a man. She must always guarantee that if a man can’t do it, we’ll divorce him and go live our own life!”

Zhao Zhan and Yang Dashan looked at each other, and the string in their hearts was raised high.

The former was immediately reflecting on whether he had done something wrong recently to make his sweetheart say such things.

The latter only felt that his wife had learned something from Zhao Zhan’s wife all day long, and now she was starting to dislike him.

“Li Miao, don’t talk nonsense. How can a woman divorce a man?” Yang Dashan hurriedly made up for it. “Besides, what did I do wrong? You’ve lectured me a lot since we got married. How can you divorce me just like that?”

“J-Jiaojiao…”

Just as Zhao Zhan was about to speak, Yue Jiaojiao raised her hand and covered his mouth. She looked down at the other party with a dazed expression.

“I know what you want to say. You don’t have to say it, I know everything.”

At least up until now, Zhao Zhan had not done anything that had disappointed her. As for the future, she believed more in what had already happened.

“Alright, let’s eat.”

The wine-drinking session had been delayed until now. Li Miao hurriedly got up and poured them each a glass. Yang Dashan excitedly drank a few more glasses with Zhao Zhan. As soon as they finished eating, Li Miao helped him into the house and lay down.

Seeing them like this, Yue Jiaojiao and Zhao Zhan didn’t bother her any further. After the meal, they sat down for a while to rest before leaving.

Zhao Kuazi was waiting in the alley between Li Miao and Zhao Zhan’s houses.

Seeing the two of them come out, Zhao Kuazi did not say anything. She just stuffed the bag in her hand into Zhao Zhan’s arms and then left with a hunched back.

Zhao Zhan lowered his head and looked at the package in his hand. He exchanged a look with Yue Jiaojiao with a puzzled look.

“If you’re curious, open it and take a look.”

The bundle looked quite old, and it gave off a moldy smell that had not been dried.

“Forget it, I’ll take a look when we get back to town.” Zhao Zhan held the bag in his hand and stood at the door of his courtyard. He took a deep breath nervously. “Jiaojiao, how about I take you to see our house? The main rooms have been completely tidied up, go and see if you like them.”

Yue Jiaojiao suddenly thought of the bamboo that Li Miao had mentioned. She nodded gently and said in a soft and tender voice, “Sure, let’s go in and take a look.”
