“It’s fine. since you’re not willing, I won’t rush to make people dislike me.” Lin Yunxu tidied up his collar, which had been wrinkled from being pulled. “Those of different paths can not make plans together. You can go back and explain to your wife without worry. I will not come to disturb you again.”

As he spoke, he cupped his hands in a salute, and then returned to the next room with Dingli.

Zhao Zhan watched them close the courtyard door before turning around to go home. He then told his sweetheart that he was going to the kitchen.

Yue Jiaojiao saw that he was not in a good mood, so she followed him and leaned against the door. She called out in a sweet voice, “Zhao Zhan, did the bad guy next door bully you?”

“I was just thinking that I’ll ask Li Miao to come over to accompany you during the day. I can also do the building and cooking myself.” Zhao Zhan cut the vegetables as he spoke, his brows furrowed. “If she’s here, you won’t have to open the door to deal with other people’s business anymore.”

“Why don’t I bring Chengfeng over?” Zhao Zhan was deep in thought. He paused for a moment and looked at his lover. “I went to the treehouse today to bring some goat’s milk for Chengfeng. He doesn’t have enough strength to hunt now, but he should be able to guard the house for two days.”

“After this period of time, I’ll bring him back to the mountains, teach him how to hunt, and then let him return to the deep mountains. Otherwise, if other wild beasts smell its scent now, he will definitely not be able to fight back.”

Zhao Zhan’s voice was filled with worry. Yue Jiaojiao, who was at the door, heard a few words and leaned over to sit in front of him. She looked at him with one hand supporting her chin.

“Jiaojiao, I…”

“I know.” Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes were shining as she slowly shook her head. “You don’t have to blame yourself. You can’t split yourself into two, so there’s not way you can be everywhere all at once, right?

“Building a house is our family’s top priority. If you have the time to worry about me, why don’t you urge everyone to work harder every day? The sooner our house is completed, the sooner I return to the village, the less I will have to worry about these things.”

As Yue Jiaojiao spoke, she reached out and touched the space between Zhao Zhan’s brows. Her warm fingertips gently smoothed his brows. “Let’s do as you say and let Li Miao come by. It just so happens that my heart aches that you still have to make tofu at night. Let Li Miao come over and we’ll give her a higher salary so that she can relax a little.”

“I can handle the brine problem, so don’t worry about it.”

This was the best solution she could think of at the moment.

Zhao Zhan only felt that his sweetheart was extremely considerate, and his heart was sour and full of guilt.

The next day was the day Lizheng’s ox-cart would arrive in town. Zhao Zhan went to the city gate early in the morning to stand guard. He asked Lizheng to stand guard not far from the house while he drove the carriage back to the village to pick up Li Miao.

Yue Jiaojiao was still in her sleep and had no idea what Zhao Zhan was up to.

When she woke up and walked lazily to the courtyard, she saw Li Miao gently washing and brushing a cloth. Seeing that she was awake, Li Miao laughed and put down the cloth in her hand. “Did I wake you up? When Zhao Zhan left, he told me to be careful, but I can’t stay idle.”

“You’re offering me such a high salary, so how can I just sit around in your courtyard? So I washed the long cloth that was used to press the tofu.”

Yue Jiaojiao let out a lazy yawn.

It was not yet noon when the sun was at its strongest.

She was wearing a white dress, and her skin was clear and white under the sun.

Li Miao’s eyes widened at her innocent and naive appearance.
