165 Help
“Since you’ve prepared everything, let’s go quickly. The earlier we go, the better we can see if they need any help.”
Zhao Zhan’s expression was nervous. He wanted to show her the decorations of their house today and he wondered if she would like the things he had prepared recently.
In Willow Village, Zhao Zhan’s former residence was a shabby thatched house, but it had changed greatly ever since Jiaojiao arrived.
Li Miao was wearing an apron and standing in front of her house. When she saw the carriage, she waved excitedly, “Jiaojiao, Zhao Zhan!”
“Hello.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZhao Zhan got down from the carriage first and reached out to hold Yue Jiaojiao’s hand. When she came out, he carried her with both hands and steadily placed her on the ground.
“Congratulations on moving in.”
Yue Jiaojiao smiled brightly and followed Li Miao into the courtyard, leaving Zhao Zhan and Yang Dashan outside to talk.
“The house is very clean.”
In order to save money, Li Miao’s courtyard was still made of solid mud. Even so, she still cleaned the courtyard without any traces of dirt.
“Zhao Zhan!”
“Oh?”
Zhao Zhan, who was talking to Yang Dashan at the door, subconsciously glanced at Yue Jiaojiao, who was standing in the courtyard. Then, he looked at the person who had come in with a puzzled look. “You’re here too?”
Zhao Zhan’s feelings for his uncle were complicated.
Back when his father was still alive, he had often lamented that his brother was too soft-hearted. He was so obedient that he could not differentiate between good and bad. In the years that he had been raised by them, although his uncle had never taken the initiative to criticize Zhao Zhan, he had never criticized Zhao Kuazi’s actions either.
At most, Zhao Zhan could only pretend to ignore his existence.
“Zhao Zhan…” His uncle’s expression was sorrowful, and the sadness on his face did not seem to be fake. “Can you please talk to me? I don’t know what to do anymore…”
“If you need anything, you can go to Lizheng.” Zhao Zhan did not want to have too much contact with him, but he felt conflicted. “Yang Lizheng has always been a fair person. He will help you.”
The expression on his uncle’s face froze for a moment, then he lowered his head and continued, “Dirty laundry shouldn’t be aired in public. We shouldn’t let others meddle in our internal affairs. I know that you’re a capable man now. Kuazi is not afraid of anyone but your wife. Can you bring your wife to my house? Please do me a favor this once, yeah? Otherwise, I’ll be bullied to death in this family in the future.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhao Zhan’s expression faltered, but when he heard him mention Yue Jiaojiao, he became alert. “Uncle, your family’s matter is not considered a family scandal. Everyone in the entire village knows about it. Jiaojiao is timid. If she goes to your house, I’m afraid she’ll be frightened.”
His uncle felt like he was about to die from anger.
Yue Jiaojiao was timid?
That was not what he heard at all!
In the entire Willow Village, the last person who could control Zhao Kuazi was Jiaojiao!
Other than his mother, only Yue Jiaojiao had made Zhao Kuazi suffer that many times. Otherwise, why would she hate Yue Jiaojiao to this extent?
“Zhao Zhan, I’m begging you! I’m still your elder. Do you really want me to speak to you in a humble manner?”
Yue Jiaojiao, who was standing in the courtyard, could hear everything clearly.
The moment his uncle appeared, she had a bad feeling that something was going to happen.
Instead of hiding, it was better to take the initiative to see what the other party was up to.
“Zhao Zhan,” Yue Jiaojiao slowly walked to Zhao Zhan’s side and said with a smile, “It seems like you’re having a hard time, wouldn’t it be inappropriate if we don’t go? He’s right about one thing though… this matter needs Lizheng to be present too,” Yue Jiaojiao said as she looked at Li Miao. “Li Miao, can I trouble you to help invite Lizheng to his house? When Zhao Zhan and I are done helping, we’ll come and eat at your place.”
