Chapter 72: Taking Advantage of the Situation



As soon as Yang Bai got home, he smelled a strong fragrance. He threw down his schoolbag and ran to the kitchen, saying happily, "Sister, it smells so good. What delicious food did you make?"

"Piggy quilt."

Yang Liu lifted the lid of the pot, and the fragrance became even stronger. They were both almost intoxicated by it.

The little guy took a deep breath, then raised his head and asked in surprise: "Sister, what is the piglet blanket?"

"You'll find out in a moment."

After they had set the table, Yang Guoqing and Li Qiuhuo also came back from the fields. Chu Yue would be back late today, so his portion was left out for them to eat first.

Yang Liu filled a large bowl with pork ribs. Seeing that her parents were reluctant to eat the spareribs and only ate the potatoes and beans, she couldn't bear to see it. She used a spoon to pour a bowl for each of them and said, "Dad, Mom, you guys can eat as much as you want. Our family's life will get better and better in the future. I will make sure you can eat spareribs every day."

"Yes, Mom and Dad, hurry up and eat. This piggy blanket made by my second sister is delicious."

The ribs were stewed until they were so soft and boneless that they fell apart in one sip. The little guy's cheeks were bulging from eating so much. He looked at Yang Liu with admiration and said, "Second sister, you are amazing. This is really delicious."

He had never eaten anything so delicious in his life.

Yang Liu rubbed his head and said, "If it tastes good, eat more. Second sister can make a lot of delicious food. I will definitely make it for you in the future."

"Yeah." Yang Bai nodded heavily, then started to eat again.

The noodles I usually eat taste ordinary, but now with the aroma of pork ribs, they suddenly turn from pheasant into phoenix.

The four of them finished the whole pot straight away. Yang Liu thought it would not taste good if it got cold, so she put it in a lunch box and prepared to take it to school for Chu Yue to eat.

On the way, she met Liu Fang and Zhao Xiaoqiu. After all, the two of them had come to her house for dinner last time, so the three of them greeted each other.

Zhao Xiaoqiu knew that Qin Meixia had taken sick leave recently in order to keep an eye on Yang Liu. She was the kind of person who loved to watch the fun and not mind getting involved.

She guessed that Yang Liu didn't know she was being targeted, so she pretended not to know and asked casually, "I heard that Meixia and Chu Yue were childhood friends. She's sick, and I wonder if Chu Yue went to see her?"

Yang Liu looked up at her and thought that Qin Meixia was sick, what did it have to do with Chu Yue? It seemed that this person was not as harmless as he seemed on the surface.

"Look at what you said. Chu Yue just lived in the same yard with her before. He is not her relative. Why should he go to see her? Besides, he is so busy every day that he doesn't even have time to eat. He even needs me to send him meals. How can he have time to take care of these messy things?"

Zhao Xiaoqiu didn't expect her to answer so directly. He felt like he was punching cotton and was asking for trouble.

But she hadn't achieved her goal yet, so how could she give up so easily? So she said nonchalantly, "I saw Meixia running to the back mountain for the past few days. I think she got up early and stayed up late, so she caught a cold. She'll just need to drink some hot water to sweat it out. It shouldn't be serious."

Yang Liu didn't respond to her. She was going to school, and the two of them were going back to the educated youth point. This section of the road was on their way, and when they reached the fork in the road, they separated.

When she arrived at school, the whole school was empty because class had ended long ago. She went straight to the office and saw that Chu Yue was the only one in the huge room.

She wanted to tease him, so she went in without knocking and covered the man's eyes with her hands. "Guess who I am?"

In order not to be recognized by him, she deliberately lowered her voice when she spoke.

Chu Yue was not so easily fooled. He took his hands off his eyes and said with a smile, "I noticed it as soon as you came in."

Yang Liu curled her lips, indicating that it was not fun at all.

Seeing a thick stack of information in front of him, she glanced at it and asked, "Why are there so many?"

They were all foreign materials. She could understand only English, but she couldn't understand the others. Moreover, they were written in professional language, which made them even more obscure and difficult to understand.

It was rare for Chu Yue to see his wife coming over and seeing him buried in his work, so he quickly played the victim in front of her and said seriously, "Liu Liu, I'm taking on more work this time just so you can buy whatever you want."

She knew that this man was deliberately playing the victim, but she couldn't refute him. After all, he did confiscate all the royalties sent by others without keeping a single cent.

"I know you've worked hard, so I specially stewed some ribs to reward you."

As she said that, she opened the food box and handed over the chopsticks.

"Liu Liu, you are so nice to me." The dog man looked at her lovingly, his eyes full of love, which gave her goose bumps all over her body.

"Eat quickly, you can't stop eating such delicious food." Yang Liu said to him in a teasing tone.

Thinking of what Zhao Xiaoqiu had just told her, she glanced at the man buried in his meal and pretended to ask casually, "Oh, when I came here just now, I ran into the two female educated youth who went to the countryside with you. They told me that your childhood friend Qin Meixia is sick. Do you want to take some things to see her? You can save her from feeling lonely and cold in this unfamiliar place."

Chu Yue knew that his wife was deliberately setting a trap for him. She was afraid that if he went to see her, she would close the door and not let him in.

He put down the dishes in his hands, took her hand, and smiled helplessly: "Liu Liu, there is nothing between me and her. It's just that our family used to live in the same family compound."

"Really? But they say you grew up together and were childhood sweethearts, and they also say you're going to marry her when you return to the city?"

"That was just a joke the adults at home told me when I was a kid. Ever since I had you, I haven't had any contact with her. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Wei Donglai."

"Humph, you think I'm stupid? It's pointless to ask him. Everyone knows that you two are birds of a feather."

"But I just discovered something interesting. If I accidentally offend your childhood sweetheart, don't blame me for not showing mercy."

"Liu Liu, do whatever you want. I will definitely stand on your side." Chu Yue almost raised his finger to swear.

The next day, Yang Liu went to the back mountain again. She scattered a lot of wood ash on the place where she walked. If someone followed her path, they would definitely leave footprints. When she went to check again in the afternoon, she really found footprints, and they were almost the same size as hers. She could tell from the footprints that they were the kind of Liberation shoes worn.

So she was 100% sure that Qin Meixia had been targeting her recently.

Since she was so eager to catch her weakness, she would just take advantage of her and give her a ride, so that she wouldn't have to stay up early and stay up late to watch over her every day.

You know what, he looked quite pitiful.
