Jiang Jialin's eyes widened, he pointed outside, and silently said, "They're here."

Jiang Wanwan nodded, held her breath and listened intently for a while. Sure enough, she heard furtive voices coming from outside the courtyard wall.

She sneered. Sure enough, it was Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong!

Hmph, since they've come, the Jiang family will definitely treat them well.

The cold smile on Jiang Wanwan's lips slowly faded. She parted her lips slightly, raised her chin a little, and lightly pinched her throat with her slender fingers. Then, a lifelike rooster crowed from her mouth, "Cluck cluck cluck~"

Upon hearing Jiang Wanwan's rooster crow, the Jiang family members immediately perked up. They gripped their sticks warily, waiting for the bad guys to enter.

Outside the courtyard wall, Jiang Dali, Jiang Dayong, and Jiang Daniu were startled by the sudden crowing of the rooster.

Their faces drained of color, and they were so frightened that they quickly withdrew their hands and feet from the wall.

After waiting for a while, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they found that apart from the rooster crowing earlier, there was no other unusual activity in the courtyard.

"Ugh, that scared the hell out of me! These damn roosters never crow earlier or later, of all times they had to crow now, they're really something else!"

"Hey, Brother Dayong, it's already past midnight. That's when roosters crow."

"Yeah, Dayong, look at you, so pathetic. A rooster's crow scared you like this. Stop talking nonsense and keep climbing."

After saying that, the three of them found a foothold and prepared to climb upwards with all their might.

Just then, a conversation suddenly came from inside the courtyard.

"Dad, I have to go out tomorrow, so I'll leave the task of preparing the ingredients for the mosquito coils to you."

The sudden voice startled the three of them, causing them to go weak in the knees and fall to the ground with a loud thud.

"Ouch~~" The three of them clutched their sore bottoms and groaned softly.

"Hey, what's going on outside? Why is there such a loud noise? Should we go out and check?" Jiang Wanwan asked, feigning alertness as she looked out the courtyard wall.

A smirk played on her lips, and her eyes were filled with schadenfreude.

Upon hearing this, the three people outside the courtyard wall swallowed their cries of pain, quickly got up from the ground, and prepared to make their escape.

Just then, Jiang Jialin said with a smile, "Perhaps someone's dog slipped and fell."

Jiang Dali and his two companions had dark faces. Who's the dog? Your whole Jiang family are dogs!

However, upon hearing that Jiang Jialin did not intend to come out to check, the three of them breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The three exchanged a glance, and Jiang Dali lowered his voice and asked uncertainly, "What did they say just now? Did they mention the secret recipe for mosquito coils?"

"Okay, it seems so." Jiang Daniu rubbed his sore bottom and said uncertainly.

"I think I've heard about it too," Jiang Dayong said softly.

The three of them stared at each other, wondering whether to continue climbing the wall or leave first.

In the courtyard, both Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Jialin had smiles on their faces.

After walking the dog for a while, Jiang Wanwan gestured to her adoptive father to continue reciting the lines they had rehearsed earlier.

Jiang Jialin said, "Ah? Going out so suddenly? But I haven't memorized the weight of each ingredient in mosquito coils, so I'm afraid I can't do this job."

Jiang Wanwan chuckled and said, "Dad, don't worry, I wrote down the mosquito coil recipe a long time ago and put it on the third shelf of the dresser in the nursery..."
