Zhang Xiaosan counted out 20 sticks and carefully placed them in his handbag, which instantly became deformed from the weight.
Zhang Xiaosan hopped on his bicycle and sped off towards Hongxing Farm.
Master Jin said he could discuss this matter with Pockmarked Face and handle it together, but Zhang Xiaosan didn't want to share the credit with Pockmarked Face.
He desperately needs credit to offset the trouble he's caused, so why would he let Pockmarked Face help him?
It was just a simple matter of putting something away at night, and we even discussed it together.
Back when Zhang Xiaosan was a pickpocket, he was still urinating and playing in the mud with his pockmarked face!
Putting things down is much easier than taking things out, isn't it? Fifth Master, you're overthinking it!
This hit Zhang Xiaosan right on the back of his hand, so Zhang Xiaosan was quite confident.
The wind was biting cold all the way, and by the time Zhang Xiaosan arrived at Zhong Wanwan's house, his ears were almost frozen off!
Fearing being discovered, Zhang Xiaosan didn't even dare to light a fire. He just hid at the entrance to the mountain, where he could see the Zhong family's location, until it got completely dark.
Zhong Wanwan was unaware that she was being watched. The three siblings, along with Xia Ning who was freeloading on their meals, were excitedly recounting the day's events.
Zhong Wanwan was filled with regret. Why did she have to ask someone to fix something today and then go into her space to drive her precious old car?
That thing is just sitting there; it can be turned on any day it wants!
Such a huge and exciting piece of gossip, everyone else got to experience it live, but she's only getting this kind of stale, rehashed news!
Zhong Wanwan inquired about everything in great detail:
"Grandma Bai and Xiao Pan went to An County? They haven't returned yet?"
Xia Ning nodded and said:
"No, when Director Wei came back, I asked him and he said that Grandma Bai and Xiao Pangui both felt that they had caught a chill and had a fever, so they need to go to the hospital for two days!"
“I asked Mai Sui privately, and Mai Sui secretly asked Brother Wei. Brother Wei said that Grandma Bai and Xiao Pan Gui were both fine. They were wrapped up tightly in such a big quilt and didn’t catch any wind.”
"The reason I said that is because Minister Li reminded me. Minister Li was afraid that those red armbands might do something desperate and come up with a stupid plan that could harm Grandma Bai and Xiao Pangui again."
"Let them stay in the hospital. Minister Li will send people to watch over them, so he can rest assured!"
Zhong Wanwan thought for a moment and said:
"Minister Li is quite thoughtful; that's how he ensured Grandma Bai's safety!"
"What about you? Is it okay for you to stay at Grandma Bai's place? Or would you like to squeeze in with me for the next few days?"
"In case they try to do something in your yard, don't let them get any bad ideas!"
Xia Ning shook her head and said:
"Then I must stay at Grandma Bai's house even more. I can't let the family of the martyr be smeared because of our situation!"
"Besides, you know I've practiced martial arts since I was a child, but Li Jing and Yang Xiaohong haven't. If I'm with them, I can protect them a bit!"
Zhong Wanwan thought Xia Ning's words made sense. "Then why don't I go stay at Grandma Bai's house with you? I'm good at fighting, and if I bring a big wrench, anyone who comes here will never come back!"
Xia Ning looked at Zhong Wanwan's thin arms and legs. Although she felt her friend meant well, her skills were simply...
Seeing Xia Ning's suspicious and disdainful look, Zhong Wanwan clenched her fist and threatened:
"I advise you to think carefully before you speak, otherwise my fists are not to be trifled with!"
Xia Ning suppressed a laugh and comforted her:
"I can tell you're not going to take this lying down. I just think, well, for such a small matter, we don't need someone as powerful as you to show up. My little minions are enough!"
"Besides, look at all these car repair tools in your yard. What if someone gets greedy and steals a couple to sell as scrap metal? How much would the country lose? Several dollars!"
"To prevent the country from losing several pieces of money, our skilled Master Zhong should stay home and stay put!"
