Chapter 64 Backyard on Fire



"The way she looked at Er Gouzi was strange!"

Er Gouzi has made something of himself now, but even if he doesn't go after those shady characters, there's no guarantee he won't get involved with some unsavory characters.

She sniffed it and came right up to me... No way, I have to keep watch for Er Gouzi, I can't let him fall for her charms!

While the village chief's wife was still stunned, the old village chief had already walked behind the door, picked up the carrying pole he had used for many years, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and stormed out.

"Honey, where are you going?"

"I'll go guard the door for Er Gouzi!"

"ah?"

The old village chief put on a felt hat, carried a shoulder pole, and with a dark, grimy face, headed straight for the mud house near Zhang Cheng's home.

At the same time, Er Ya, with three pieces of fruit candy in her pocket, feeling very happy, slowly made her way back to the main house, leaning on her cane and carrying her big pregnant belly.

As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Zhang An, who had been lying on the bed like a corpse, sit up abruptly and stare at her with shining eyes.

"What about food?"

Upon seeing that Er Ya's hands were empty, Zhang An's face immediately fell, looking extremely ugly. "You spendthrift woman, didn't you know your man is still hungry?"

Er Ya pouted, feeling very unhappy. "You're hungry, it's not like I'm not going to feed you. There are still pancakes in the pot."

"What are you holding in your hand?" Zhang An, with his sharp eyes, immediately got off the bed, slipped on his cotton shoes, and ran towards Er Ya.

Er Ya quickly put her hands behind her back: "This was given to me by my second uncle. He said it's good for the baby in my belly."

"Let me see what this good stuff is!"

"Fruit candy!"

"You spendthrift woman! How can you eat candy while pregnant? Huh? Are you stupid?! Eating too much candy will make your baby stupid! Give it to me right now, I'm going to throw it away!"

Zhang An stamped his feet, looking heartbroken.

"ah?"

Er Ya was completely bewildered and a little dizzy. Could she eat candy while pregnant?

She wondered, surely Zhang An wouldn't lie to her?

But then again, my second uncle wouldn't deliberately harm me, would he?

"for you!"

Er Ya still believed her husband, pouting as she tossed the three candies in her hand to Zhang An.

Zhang An chuckled, bent down to pick up the candy that had fallen to the ground, and deftly peeled off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Tsk, so sweet.

"Anzi, were you lying to me just now?" Er Ya asked belatedly, seeing Zhang An's blissful expression.

"You're my wife, would I lie to you?"

That seems to be true!

Er Ya nodded, agreeing with Zhang An, and then spat out the piece of candy she had just put in her mouth onto the ground.

Zhang An's face twitched, and he cursed inwardly: What a spendthrift woman.

On the other end.

Li Yuanyuan wrapped her face with a headscarf and walked out of the village committee.

"I refuse to believe that a peasant from humble beginnings like him can escape my grasp!"

Li Yuanyuan is quite confident in her face.

To be honest, in this whole area, is there a girl more beautiful than her? Probably not!

Even Shi Yangyang, who used to be about the same level of fame as her, is now far inferior to her.

With her hands tucked into her sleeves, she carefully walked along the village path, her feet sinking into the snow.

She wasn't worried at all about Shi Yangyang finding out about her affair with Zhang Cheng.

Shi Yangyang has gone mad, what does he know?

During this time, she had asked a lot of questions about Zhang Cheng from the gossipy women in the village. She learned that he had gotten close to the director of the supply and marketing cooperative in the county and had even bought a lot of goods on credit so that he could open a consignment store in the village.

The matter concerning Li Yuanyuan's family has dragged on for seven or eight years, and it seems there's no hope of her being exonerated.

So, she, who originally wanted to return to the big city, also started thinking about getting married.

If I don't get married soon, I'll really become an old maid.

The problem is, there isn't a single man around here who catches her eye.

Now that Zhang Cheng has suddenly become "successful," it's no wonder she's having other ideas.

"What man would turn down a perfectly good woman like Shi Yangyang and choose that crazy woman?"

"Once this is done, I'll make Zhang Cheng divorce Shi Yangyang..."

Li Yuanyuan kept muttering to herself, partly to bolster her courage, and partly because it was so dark and there was no one on the road, making her feel uneasy, and she could only dispel her fear by talking.

They hadn't walked far when they arrived at Zhang Cheng's courtyard.

Looking at the tightly closed courtyard gate, Li Yuanyuan was a little troubled. She knew that Zhang Cheng had separated from his brother and was living independently.

If you just shout "Door open!", that would be too low-class.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yuanyuan walked around the courtyard wall and headed back, intending to slip into the bamboo grove behind the courtyard.

Outside the bamboo grove, the old village chief was crouching in the shadows, his body hunched over, tightly clutching his carrying pole.

I rushed over in a moment of impulse.

Now, with the cold wind blowing, he felt incredibly stupid.

In this freezing weather, even if Li Yuanyuan is completely brainless, she wouldn't come here at this hour, would she?

Just as the old village chief was pondering whether he should go home and snuggle into his warm bed, his eyes widened suddenly as he heard the rustling sound of footsteps in the distant snow.

They actually came?

This vixen has no shame whatsoever!

The old village chief immediately gripped the carrying pole tightly, staring intently at the figure in the distance that was slowly becoming clearer.

Li Yuanyuan's heart was pounding like a drum as she walked forward, inching along the wall.

Looking at the dark bamboo forest in front of her, she felt a little hesitant.

"For a better future... I'm not afraid!!!"

Giving herself a pep talk, Li Yuanyuan walked to the bamboo grove, looked up at the earthen wall that was a head taller than her, took a deep breath, bent her knees, and jumped up suddenly.
