Chapter 156: Urgent News
While Zhao Zhan was busy, Yue Jiaojiao, who was on the other side, heard someone knocking on the door. She carried Chengfeng and walked over to open the door.
“Li Miao?”
Yue Jiaojiao looked at Li Miao and said with a smile, “Did Zhao Zhan trouble you to take care of me again? I’m so sorry.”
“You don’t have to be so polite with me.” Li Miao stepped into the yard and locked the door. She walked into the kitchen with great familiarity. “Are you hungry? I’ll cook something up for you.”
“There’s no need.”
The sky had already turned dark, and Yue Jiaojiao guessed that Zhao Zhan hadn’t been to the village for a few days and needed time to look around. He was busy teaching people and farming, so she went to town to buy some food after waking up.
“I’ve brought some food back. It’s still warm. If you don’t mind, we can eat together.”
“No wonder Zhao Zhan is so nice to you.” Li Miao patted Yue Jiaojiao’s hand and said, “A husband and wife should be like this. Good things must be shared. You must be worried about Zhao Zhan’s fatigue after a long day of work, right? ”
“Li Miao,” Yue Jiaojiao beckoned Li Miao to sit down, “Eat it while it’s hot. It must have been hard on you to come all the way here.
The two of them ate and talked. Before they finished their meal, someone knocked on the courtyard door.
The man banged on the door hard and anxiously, as if he was trying to force it open. Li Miao stood up and walked towards the gate in a hurry, asking loudly, “Who is it? It’s late.”
Li Xiangjun, who was knocking on the door, paused. She asked hesitantly, “Is this Zhao Zhan’s house? ”
“Li Miao, she should be here for me.”
It was already so late and Li Xiangjun had actually run over. This meant that something might’ve happened. Yue Jiaojiao walked over and opened the door. She asked in a puzzled tone, “Xiangjun? Is there something wrong?”
“Yes.” Li Xiangjun jogged over and was still panting when she spoke. “When Fang Tianliu and I were about to close the shop, someone came over and asked me to tell you that he had done what he asked.”
“Chen Xiaolang?”
“I don’t know if it’s him,” Li Xiangjun frowned and said anxiously, “He looked like he was seriously injured and was shoved by Fang Tianliu. If he didn’t say that he was coming to find you, that guy would probably have fought with him.”
“But I’ve already asked Fang Tianliu to find a doctor, so I came over to tell you first.”
“Li Miao,” Yue Jiaojiao turned to Li Miao and softly said, “I’ll have to trouble you to wait for me at home for a while. I have something to do and need to go out for a while. If Zhao Zhan comes back, you can just ask him to look for me at the shop.”
“You should go. Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Li Miao knew that it was an urgent matter, so she did not ask further.
When Yue Jiaojiao and Li Xiangjun rushed to the shop, the doctor that Fang Tianliu had hired had already finished bandaging Chen Xiaolang’s wound.
“Madam Zhao?” The moment Chen Xiaolang opened his mouth, he pulled the corner of his injured mouth and hissed twice, “Is it convenient to talk right now?”
“What do you want to do to her?” Fang Tianliu couldn’t stand the sight of him and was furious. “Her husband could kill you with one punch. Did you deliberately trick her to come here and take revenge?”
“Fang Tianliu.” Li Xiangjun walked over and pinched Fang Tianliu’s arm. “If you don’t know the situation, then don’t talk nonsense. Come out with me!”
After being lectured by Li Xiangjun, Fang Tianliu kept his mouth shut and did not dare to make a sound. As he walked out, he turned his head and gave Chen Xiaolang a warning glare.
“How are your injuries? Are they serious?”
“It’s fine. This injury is nothing compared to what I used to have.” Chen Xiaolang’s arm was bruised. When he spoke, he was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth. “Although, I did find out something about the person you asked for.”
