Yue Jiaojiao took a step back to avoid her. Her eyes were cold as ice. “If you move again, I’ll throw you up the mountain to feed the wolves.”
“You think I’m afraid of you? Your man has already gone up the mountain and can’t meddle in the affairs here. You’re just talking trash now.” Wencai’s wife’s mouth was filthy as she glared at Yue Jiaojiao with her hands on her hips. “What an unlucky girl.”
Yue Jiaojiao casually picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it over.
She had always been very accurate.
When the stone was thrown, it looked menacing, but in fact, it was deliberately thrown in the direction of Wen Cai’s wife.
“You…!”
Yue Jiaojiao picked up another rock and weighed it in her hand. She looked at the other party coldly and said, “Oh you can keep going. But I can’t guarantee that this rock won’t hit you.
“Anyway, even if I smash a hole in your head today, it’s just a matter of compensating you with silver. My Zhao Zhan loves me so much, he won’t care at all.
“After all, the silver was given to me by your mother-in-law as compensation. If there’s a hole in your head, it won’t be more than thirty silver as compensation, right?”
Wencai’s wife instantly turned her head and widened her eyes in disbelief, “Mother! When did you compensate this little… little hussy with the money from our funds?”
She knew that if she provoked Jiaojiao, she would be the unlucky one.
She felt extremely guilty, but she still puffed out her chest in annoyance.
“What are you shouting for? When did you have the right to ask about the funds? I don’t know how Wencai is doing on the mountain. Do you only have money in your heartless mind?
“Mother! You already said that you don’t know how Wencai is now. I don’t care, no matter how serious Wen Cai’s injuries are, you must take out money from the funds to treat his illness!”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to argue with each other. Yue Jiaojiao casually threw the small stone in her hand to the ground and wanted to use a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
The rough man who could hand her a hot handkerchief in time wasn’t around, so Yue Jiaojiao paused and went to dry the handkerchief herself.
Such a habit was a scary thing.
She had been spoiled by this rough man.
She didn’t know when Zhao Zhan would return, but the helper who came to build the house in the afternoon would need to take care of a meal. Yue Jiaojiao thought for a moment and walked to the shed that was temporarily set up for cooking. She used a cloth to tie up her wide sleeves tightly, looked at the ingredients, and prepared to make two dishes.
Her cooking skills were actually not bad, but whether it was in the past or now, she rarely had a place to cook.
However, at this moment, Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t bring herself to do something like wait at the foot of the mountain for Zhao Zhan to come back and cook while he went to the mountains to look for her.
There were a few slaughtered chickens caught in the shed, probably caught by Zhao Zhan after killing them yesterday.
Yue Jiaojiao was planning to make a large plate of fried chicken and a large plate of vegetable tofu.
‘It would be great if there were potatoes too…’ She thought to herself.
She was a little greedy.
The chicken bones were very hard, and the knife that Zhao Zhan usually used to cook felt heavy in her hand. Yue Jiaojiao had not even finished chopping a chicken, and her palms were already blistered from the grinding.
She lowered her head and blew on it. She missed Zhao Zhan a little.
“Jiaojiao, ” Zhao Zhan, who had just come down from the mountain, saw Xinjian’s pitiful appearance. He threw the unconscious Zhao Wencai at the feet of his second aunt and ran over to hold her soft little hand. His eyes were full of heartache. “Let’s go back to town and find the best doctor for you.”
“What took you so long?” Yue Jiaojiao wrinkled her nose and her eyes reddened. “That vegetable knife was so heavy.”
