“Yes, yes, I trust you, Uncle Four. But please be more cautious. After all, there are still 600 taels to pay back.”

“It’s not about the silver!” Qiao Changkang emphasized again. “I came here to ask for your forgiveness. The clues are secondary.”

“I trust you, Uncle Four. It’s late. You should go home.” Qiao Xiaomai raised her arm and pointed to the entrance of the courtyard.

“Air, I’ll go back now. But these coming days, don’t reveal anything. Wait until we find concrete evidence, then we’ll catch the thief red-handed.” Qiao Changkang stood up.

“Alright.” Qiao Xiaomai said politely, seeing Qiao Changkang out. Gét latest 𝒏ovel ch𝒂pters on n𝒐v(e)lbj/n(.)c/𝒐m

After relocking the courtyard door and turning around, Tong Sanlang emerged from the storage shed.

She said, “I intend on letting them fight each other.”

It would be best if they ended up hurting each other. She treated the silver she’d thrown into this mess as the price of admission to a show.

“I know.” Tong Sanlang nodded. He hesitated for a moment, then suggested, “How about 1 eavesdrop on Qiao Chang’an from now on?”

“No need. Just let them squabble among themselves. There’s 600 taels at stake here, Qiao Changkang will certainly bring the evidence voluntarily.” Qiao Xiaomai sighed, a bitter, mocking smile appearing on her face, “I never imagined it would lead to this.”

“Silver, it really can bring about surprising effects.”

Tong Sanlang fell silent for a moment, “Does this remind you of the past?”

“It does, but it doesn’t make me sad. I am just mocking the situation.” She clicked her tongue, “Maybe because I’ve never lacked money since i was little, I value other things more. I used to not understand why that scumbag would do such an unconscionable thing for money, but I understand now.”

“Coming here made me realize how even securing food can become a problem. This deepened my understanding.”

“Survival is, after all, the principle concern. Doing wrong things so that one can enjoy some good food and nicer clothes, that’s not hard to understand. It’s not unusual for tough conditions to breed dishonest people.”

Tong Sanlang hesitated for a moment, then patted her shoulder, “I’m glad even after experiencing bad things, you still have a kind heart.”

Qiao Xiaomai chuckled, rubbing her arm, “You’re going to give me goosebumps. Just because I’ve suffered doesn’t mean I’ve become a different person.”

She didn’t suffer material hardships when she was young. The pain she went through was all emotional.

It’s strange to think that because of emotional hurt, one would become unkind.”

“Also, is this how you comfort your girlfriend? By patting her on the shoulder?” Qiao Xiaomai raised an eyebrow.

“I lack dating experience. 1 don’t do things smoothly and my words aren’t precise.” Tong Sanlang was sincere. “Please, Miss Xiaomai, teach me. What should I do? What should I say?”

Even though they have been secretly meeting each other almost every night these days, they have only chatted without even holding hands. He had hesitated before patting her shoulder.

“Young man, learn for yourself.” Qiao Xiaomai patted Tong Sanlang’s shoulder in return and took a step towards the small table.

Tong Sanlang watched her delicate figure, and followed her. When he reached her, he held Qiao Xiaomai’s left hand with his free right hand.

Her hand was soft, warm, and smooth. The touch was so pleasant that his heart skipped several beats.

Qiao Xiaomai looked at him with a bit of surprise. Seeing the anxiety on his handsome face, she couldn’t help but laugh. She placed her right hand over his, warm though slightly rough.

Feeling something in his palm, she asked, “Huh?”

Tong Sanlang stiffened, holding his breath, “What is it?”

“Young man, your hands don’t match your face. 1 think you might need some hand cream.” Qiao Xiaomai said, feeling his hand again..
