Chapter 107 - Tear Down

“Zhao Zhan!”

The jealousy in Liu Xiaowan’s eyes was about to materialize as she looked at the two of them.

She then turned to look at her neighbors who were busy working.

Just by looking at the outline of the foundation, she knew that the house Zhao Zhan was going to build was not the three-room standard house that most people in the village lived in. Such a large piece of land was made of bricks and tiles, and there were also pieces of neatly arranged bluestone slabs. She would never know what it feels like to have a courtyard covered with bluestone slabs in her life.

Why was Yue Jiaojiao’s luck so good that she could meet Zhao Zhan when he had money?

Otherwise, this big house might have been hers!

“Zhao Zhan, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Why are you hiding here and not helping out inside today?” Liu Xiaowan was holding a basket and walked up to him as if she couldn’t see the intimate actions of the two people opposite her.

“Oh? Jiaojiao is here today too?

“I don’t want to criticize you, but honestly you’re really cruel. How could you hide in town when your family is building a house?

“Spending so much silver a month to build a house outside… Only Zhao Zhan can do it. But that’s also because he has to work hard to hunt for it.

As she spoke, she placed the basket on the stove. “I used the wildflowers I picked from the roadside this year to boil a drink. Zhao Zhan, are you thirsty? Jiaojiao, you can try it if you want. I can teach you if you want to learn.

“As women, how can we not properly serve a man who is working hard to earn money outside?”

Yue Jiaojiao looked up at Liu Xiaowan with a smile that was definitely fake. Then, she calmly pulled her wrist back and put down her sleeve.

“As a woman, do you want to serve a man who has been working hard outside?” Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes narrowed slightly as she lazily adjusted her posture and leaned against Zhao Zhan’s body. “I think you’re doing quite well in terms of that. Instead of serving your husband, you’re sticking close to someone else’s man.”

After Yue Jiaojiao finished speaking, she looked dispirited and didn’t want to say anything.

Her hand was still burning and she really didn’t have the patience to argue with Liu Xiaowan.

“Zhao Zhan, aren’t you going to take care of your wife?” Liu Xiaowan stomped her feet. “You should know that I just wanted to ask for your help and get Dalei to come over to help you.

“You know, it’s hard for the family when there’s a shortage of money. Zhao Zhan, let Dalei come. He can earn a few copper coins every day to add more food to the family’s stomach.”

“I have enough people on my side. I don’t need anyone else,” Zhao Zhan said as he moved his body to make her feel more comfortable; away from Xiaowan. His eyes were only for the delicate person in his arms. He didn’t even look up when he spoke.

Liu Xiaowan’s face was full of shame and anger.

Today, she deliberately wore the best clothes she had. The pink dress had some flowers on it, which was the dowry she bought when she married Yang Dalei.

However, how could Zhao Zhan be so blind as to not even spare her a glance?

If Yue Jiaojiao knew what she was thinking, she would definitely not be able to help but speak sarcastically,

“How old are you now?”

“Zhao Zhan, why are there so many people in the village allowed to come and go as they please? Why can’t Dalei do the same? When he came to you to sign up, it was obvious that the recruitment wasn’t full yet. “Liu Xiaowan looked at Zhao Zhan angrily. “Is it because Yue Jiaojiao is jealous of me, so she asked you not to recruit Dalei?

“Jiaojiao didn’t say anything. It’s because I don’t want my wife to see anyone she doesn’t like,” Zhao Zhan said coldly. “It just so happens that she doesn’t like you.”

Liu Xiaowan was so angry that tears fell from her eyes.
