Wei Maisui, completely bewildered, said:
"Master, what kind of riddle are you and Xia Zhiqing playing? What do you mean by 'answered correctly'? I don't understand!"
Zhong Wanwan explained to her simple-minded apprentice:
"Bai Yueyao tricked Xia Zhiqing into thinking that she was going into the mountains. Later, she would bring Tang Zixuan, and the three of them would form a team so they could go hunting in the mountains on their own. Xia Zhiqing would be lucky to get the game, and the three of them would share it. How much more would she get?"
Wei Maisui's mouth dropped open. Bai Zhiqing's shamelessness had once again refreshed the bottom line of her understanding!
It's amazing that Bai, the educated youth, could come up with such a plan. He tricked Xia, the educated youth, into going hunting, and then he had to bring someone along to share Xia's spoils. This is truly a shameless scheme!
Wei Maisui sighed:
"It's amazing that Bai Zhiqing came up with this idea. She's really going all out, having to get a homemade gun and prepare her own food before going into the mountains..."
The hunting party went into the mountains to hunt, and the food they brought, besides warm clothes, came from the farm.
After all, even though the hunting team got a bigger share, they were still working hard for the whole farm.
Zhong Wanwan glanced at Xia Ning's sullen face and instantly guessed what Bai Yueyao had said. She suppressed a laugh and said:
"Prepare dry rations and get homemade guns. Guess if, besides asking about going into the mountains, Xia Zhiqing also asked about homemade guns and dry rations!"
Xia Ning glared at Zhong Wanwan, annoyed, and said:
"No wonder you're like a mind reader to Bai Yueyao; you can guess everything she's thinking!"
Zhong Wanwan teased Xia Ning:
"You don't actually believe that, do you? Are you planning to carry a homemade gun and bring dry rations to work for Bai Yueyao for free?"
"No, no, let me guess, she wouldn't have made you pay for her share of rations too, would she?"
Xia Ning gritted her teeth and said:
"She said she was preparing half a month's worth of dry rations, just in case we couldn't get out for half a month, so we wouldn't run out of food!"
Wei Maisui's understanding of the situation plummeted once again, and she stared in disbelief, saying:
"That educated youth Bai is really daring! She's practically getting something for nothing!"
Zhong Wanwan sneered:
"Trying to get something for nothing? She's planning to drag Xia Zhiqing back onto her pirate ship! She wants Xia Zhiqing to do the work, provide the food, and take the smallest share! There's no woman more wicked than her!"
Zhong Wanwan underestimated Bai Yueyao. She only guessed the first two things: that Xia Ning should contribute labor, food, and even the smallest share.
But she didn't expect that Bai Yueyao still had her eye on Xia Ning!
Although her own man couldn't be sacrificed, Tang Zihao could still be paired with Xia Ning!
They were even planning to create an opportunity for Tang Zihao and Xia Ning to fall in love in the mountains!
Even if they don't commit to each other, it's fine. She'll just tell Zhong Songbai about Xia Ning and Tang Zihao going into the mountains, and she doesn't believe he'll be willing to be a cuckold!
Wei Maisui gritted her teeth and said:
"This is too much! Can't we fight back and help Xia Zhiqing get revenge?"
Zhong Wanwan thought for a moment, then shook her head and said:
"There are priorities. If this matter gets out of hand and those two are really taken into the mountains, it could mean two lives lost!"
"Even if Bai Yueyao and Tang Zixuan deserve to die, their lives cannot be tainted by us!"
"If Xia Ning refuses later, their hopes will be dashed, and they'll be furious with themselves!"
Wei Maisui said somewhat dejectedly:
"Master is right. We can't get involved in this kind of thing. If we're not careful, we might get ourselves into trouble, and that would be a huge loss!"
Zhong Wanwan comforted Wei Maisui, saying:
"It's alright. When your master and Xia Zhiqing come back with the hunting team, we'll definitely get a lot of wild game. We still have so many fish at home. We'll stew fish and meat every day and make Bai Yueyao and Tang Zixuan drool!"
Wei Maisui burst into laughter, and she said gloatingly:
"That's a good idea. We'll have Youliang take Xiaobaiyang to eat in front of Bai and Tang's houses. It'll make them see the food but not be able to eat it, and that will make them suffer!"
Zhong Wanwan gave Wei Maisui an approving look and said:
"That's a good idea! Let's fry some meatballs and put them in Youliang and Xiaobaiyang's pockets so they can eat with Baiyueyao and Tang Zixuan!"
This is really going all out! They even fried meatballs just to tempt those two!
