Chapter 65 The traitor is watching
While Zhao Ya and others were trudging through the mountains and forests, in Wuxiang City, Zui'er, who had just finished her homework for the day, was doing female prostitutes under the lamp.
What she made was a pair of cloth shoes.
I saw that she used fine stitches to sew the uppers and soles together little by little, which can be said to be extremely attentive.
Finally, this pair of cloth shoes is finished.
Zui'er looked at it under the lamp, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he carefully put the shoes away and prepared to give them to Zhao Ya when he came back.
Then Zui'er stared blankly at the almanac hanging on the wall.
"I've been gone for almost ten days. I don't know where Brother Xiaoya is now. He should be home soon!" Zui'er muttered in a low voice.
Zui'er has been looking forward to it these past few days, looking forward to Zhao Ya's early return every day.
While he was in a daze, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
Zui'er was stunned.
Who could it be at this late hour?
Could it be that Brother Xiaoya is back?
In confusion, Zui'er picked up the long knife that Zhao Ya left for her and came to the courtyard.
"Xiaozui, are you at home? I'm your Aunt Liu!"
A woman's cry came from outside the door.
Zui'er was stunned.
There is indeed a woman named Liu among the neighbors, but they don't usually interact with each other, and why is she here so late?
Zui'er quietly placed the long knife where he could easily reach it by the door, and then opened the door a crack.
As expected, the person standing outside the door was Aunt Liu, with a smile on her face and a bamboo basket covered with red cloth in her hand.
"Aunt Liu, what's the matter?" Zui'er asked.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that my daughter-in-law just gave birth to a big fat boy during the day. Why don't we send wedding eggs door to door? Come on, eat them while they're hot!"
As she said this, Aunt Liu lifted up the red cloth, and the basket was filled with eggs dyed red with red yeast rice powder.
She reached out and picked up a few and stuffed them into Zui'er's hand.
Zui'er breathed a sigh of relief.
There is indeed this custom in Wuxiang City. After giving birth to a child, if the mother and child are safe, they will send some wedding eggs to the surrounding neighbors as a blessing.
"Yes, congratulations to Aunt Liu!"
Zui'er didn't refuse, stretched out his hand to take it, then took out a handful of copper coins and handed it over.
"This is a little thought. Let's buy a pair of shoes for the child."
Aunt Liu declined, took it with a smile, but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she glanced towards the courtyard, and then asked in a rather awe-inspiring tone.
"Isn't Escort Zhao back yet?"
Ever since Zhao Ya broke through the second level and became the bodyguard of Changlong Escort Agency, his neighbors also called him Zhao Yarong.
Zui'er nodded, "Well, I'm a little far away this time, but I'll be back soon!"
Aunt Liu still didn't leave. Instead, she glanced at Zui'er's slender waist with a smile, and then lowered her voice and said, "You've been with escort Zhao for so long, why haven't you gotten pregnant yet? Is there something wrong?"
Zui'er's face suddenly turned red, and at the same time, a sense of shame and annoyance arose in her heart.
These women are really nosy, no wonder they are called women with long tongues.
Even the usually good-tempered Zui'er was a little angry. Her pretty face darkened and she said in a stiff tone: "We haven't planned to have children yet. If nothing happens, Aunt Liu, please come back. I want to rest!"
After saying that, Zui'er immediately closed the courtyard door, bolted it, picked up the knife and returned to the house.
Aunt Liu who was standing outside the door was rejected and her face was very ugly. She spat fiercely and cursed in a low voice.
"He's just a little prodigal who followed someone else without even having a status. He just climbed onto a high branch. Why are you pretending? Besides, your man may not be able to come back this time."
After saying that, she carried the bamboo basket and went down the steps. Instead of going to another house, she looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she turned and entered a deserted alley.
At the same time, Zui'er was sitting in the room, thinking about what the woman had just said, feeling a little bored.
In fact, she had really considered having a child. After all, for her, whose heart was already tied to Zhao Ya, giving Zhao Ya another boy and a half girl would be considered complete.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya firmly disagreed.
In Zhao Ya's words, the world is becoming increasingly difficult, and no one knows what tomorrow will be like.
It would be extremely irresponsible to have a child rashly without sufficient ability to protect yourself.
Since then, Zui'er has never mentioned it again.
But what Aunt Liu said today aroused her concerns again.
Zui'er was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and at this time, Aunt Liu came to an abandoned courtyard and saw a man with oily hair, pink face, and blue eyes.
"How is it?" the man asked impatiently.
"Sir, I just took the opportunity to inquire. The person named Zhao hasn't come back yet, and this little lady is the only one in the family." Aunt Liu said with fear.
After all, in her opinion, this man who could fly over roofs and walls, and walk through houses and courtyards as if he were in a deserted place, was a peerless master.
So naturally I didn't dare to show any hesitation when speaking.
After hearing this, the man's eyes lit up.
"Okay, it would be easier if you were alone at home. You didn't arouse this little lady's suspicion!"
"Don't worry, sir. Didn't my daughter-in-law just give birth to a big fat boy for you? I took the opportunity of sending eggs to find out, and I can't be wrong." Aunt Liu said very solemnly.
"Hehe, speaking of which, your daughter-in-law is not bad, but it's a pity that she can't compare with this Miss Tang." The man said with a smile, then took out a piece of broken silver and threw it away.
"Go back and buy some delicious food for your daughter-in-law. The rest is yours."
"Thank you sir, thank you sir!" Aunt Liu, who had always been greedy for money, her eyes lit up when she saw the money, and she kept thanking her with the money.
The man waved his hand impatiently, "Go ahead, go ahead, remember not to talk nonsense everywhere, got it?"
Aunt Liu trembled all over and said quickly: "Look what you said, I wouldn't even dare say something like this to death. But sir, that person named Zhao is quite capable. If you treat this little lady Tang When you start, you have to pay attention to this person named Zhao."
The man laughed and said nonchalantly.
"I know that this person named Zhao has been around for a while, but isn't he not in the city now? What's more, Master, I never stay in one place for too long. This time I finish the case and enjoy it before leaving. Even if he comes back, where will he come from? Come to me?"
"Yes, yes, that's good, I'll resign then!"
Aunt Liu left happily.
Jiang Junyan looked at the woman's back, as fat as a pig, with a look of disdain on his face.
If it weren't for the beauty of her daughter-in-law, how could she deal with such a vulgar woman?
Fortunately, it was because of this that I was able to meet Miss Tang by chance.
Thinking of that beautiful face, Jiang Junyan felt his heart heat up.
Jiang Junyan is an out-and-out flower picker.
As a young boy, he was obsessed with sex and joined one of the five lower sects by mistake, specializing in the art of lightening one's body and the preparation of incense and sweat medicine.
