After finishing everything, Jiang Nuan lay on the bed with Xiao Wu in her arms, feeling like she had forgotten something.

"Strange, what have I forgotten?"

After pondering for a moment and still not being able to recall it, Jiang Nuan had no choice but to put it down. "Never mind, it shouldn't be anything important."

In the middle of the night, the Huang brothers crouched down and quietly pushed open the door.

"Big brother, is Brother Lai really home?" Huang Lao Er asked uncertainly.

“Yes, he is,” Boss Huang nodded. “I saw him this afternoon.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Huang Xiaosi's voice rang out, "He's either at home or at Widow Qian's place. I've seen him there several times."

Upon hearing this, the eldest brother immediately slapped his younger brother, saying, "If you do such a vulgar thing again, I'll tie you to a tree and whip you."

“Fatty’s here too, why don’t you hit him?” Huang Xiaosi said with a face full of dissatisfaction. “Big brother, you’re getting more and more biased.”

“They’re both going to get a beating,” said the eldest Huang, slapping Huang Yi across the face. “Neither of them is easy to deal with.”

"Big brother, I was wrong," Huang Yi admitted obediently. "Next time Xiao Si tries to drag me along, I will definitely refuse."

"Pah!" Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaosi turned his head in disbelief. "Fatty, can't you have any shame? We decided this together."

"Alright," Old Huang gave Xiao Si another flick on the forehead, "If you keep yelling, you'll wake your mother up. Do you want to go out or not?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaosi immediately glared at the fat man, then tiptoed behind his older brothers.

It was late at night, the moonlight was bright, the shadows of the trees were dappled, and occasionally a gust of wind brushed past my ears, making a rustling sound.

The village was quiet and peaceful, and the narrow roads seemed long in the night. Occasionally, a few lazy dog ​​barks could be heard, adding a touch of liveliness to the night.

A moment later, the group stopped in front of a messy little courtyard.

"Brother, come knock on the door," Huang Xiaosi felt awkward. "I'm embarrassed."

Looking back on his actions, Huang Xiaosi felt utterly heartless.

Lai Zige treated him so well, yet he looked down on him, cursing him in his heart, smashing things with his hands, and even thinking of driving him out of Huangjiakou...

Seriously, that's going too far!

Old Huang's face turned bright red. He nervously swallowed, raised his hand several times, and then helplessly lowered it again. "I'm embarrassed too."

The guilt in his heart was almost suffocating him.

She had played with Lai Zi since she was a child, but unfortunately, she had distanced herself from him because of his reputation.

Mingming also felt that Lai Zige wasn't as bad as he seemed.

How could I have been so bewitched?

"Brother, if you keep dawdling, it'll be dawn soon," Huang Lao Er urged impatiently.

"If you're so capable, then you do it," Old Huang roared angrily, "I'll let you do it."

"Never mind," Huang Lao Er said, touching his nose and awkwardly backing away, his voice becoming much softer.

The noise at the door woke Lai Zi up inside the house.

Hearing the sound, he cautiously looked towards the door, then casually pulled out a wooden stick from beside the bed and crouched down behind the door.

They planned to ambush the visitors by surprise.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Brother Lai, are you asleep? Open the door."

"Xiao Chuan?" Lai Zi froze, put down the wooden stick, and walked out of the room in a daze. "Why is he here?"

Upon reaching the courtyard, I looked up and saw the crescent moon hanging high in the sky. My heart skipped a beat. "Could I be dreaming?"

After muttering to himself, he walked slowly toward the door.

Even if I'm not sure if it's true or not, I still have some hope!
