Chapter 91: Eavesdropping

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

She’s seen this face almost every day, so how could she still be shocked by Yue Jiaojiao’s beauty?

“Jiaojiao, you are so good-looking. Your parents must be just as stunning, right? I’ve never heard of or seen a woman as pretty as you in the surrounding villages. I’m not even half as pretty as you.”

Li Miao blurted out the question subconsciously before realizing that she had never heard the other party mention her family. She looked at Yue Jiaojiao regretfully. “Did I say something wrong?”

“Huh?”

Yue Jiaojiao was impatient to tidy up her hair that had grown to her hips. She casually used a hairpin to tie it up behind her head, barely managing to hold everything together. A few strands of hair hung loosely from her temples, and her entire aura had a broken beauty to it.

Hearing Li Miao’s voice, she looked up in a daze, which was rare. “Li Miao, were you asking about my parents?”

“No, I was just saying how beautiful you looked.” Li Miao picked up the cloth and wrung it. She didn’t continue with the other question.

“Zhao Zhan brought a lot of soybeans over. I thought I’d be here all day, so I brought the jar for soybean sprouts as well.

“Anyway, it’s easy to grow the bean sprouts, so I might as bring it here.

Li Miao’s voice was filled with anger as if he had just thought of something. “I don’t know which b*stard destroyed the tofu. Dashan said that Zhao Zhan had told him a way to catch that thief in the village.”

“It was Zhao Zhan’s idea?” Yue Jiaojiao placed the breakfast that Zhao Zhan had left for her on the stone table in the courtyard. As she ate, she spoke, “Then there’s nothing to worry about, Li Miao.This thief will probably be caught today. Have you had breakfast? Do you want some? Zhao Zhan always leaves me a little more every time.”

Li Miao shook his head. “No, no, I’ve already eaten.”

After Yue Jiaojiao finished her meal, she was a little embarrassed to leave the bowl on the table because Li Miao was there. She had just stood up when Li Miao quickly walked over to clean up her dishes. “Zhao Zhan told me that you don’t have to do anything. Let me wash it. If you don’t let me do it, I’ll be too embarrassed to accept so many copper coins from you.” Li Miao really felt that she had done something wrong by taking the money. She was afraid that Yue Jiaojiao would not be aware of it and argue with Zhao Zhan, so she made it clear. “I cook at the construction site for a few copper coins a day, but now Zhao Zhan is giving me twenty copper coins a day. So please, let me do the extra work and earn the coins.”

Yue Jiaojiao didn’t force her to do any more work and simply went back to her room to get her book. She found a shady spot in the courtyard and sat down, her feet resting on a small stool and swaying back and forth in satisfaction.

The courtyard was very harmonious.

Outside however, the two of them did not notice half a head was peeking out from the top of the wall.

The courtyard walls of Lin Yunxu’s rented house and Yue Jiaojiao’s house were close to each other without any gaps.

The person stood on a stool and pressed their entire body against the wall. They perked up their ears to listen to the movements in the next room with pride. It would take a lot of effort to get the tofu recipe.

Now it seemed that as long as they paid attention to the movements of the women working in this courtyard, they would be able to get the recipe for the tofu.

At that time, they would bring Yue Jiaojiao along with them.

When they returned, they would definitely make Zhao Zhan pay for the humiliation they suffered yesterday!
