Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Underhanded Move

Lu Yichen watched Luo Qiao as her expressions changed, then glanced at the rabbits and pheasants on the ground and asked, "How are we planning to eat these?"

Luo Qiao gathered her thoughts and thought for a moment before saying, "Let’s get them ready. We can stew chicken soup tonight. Clean up the rabbit later and cut it into cubes. After dinner, I’ll make some meat sauce, and you can take it with you tomorrow."

When Stone returned, he saw Lu Yichen processing the chicken: "Brother Lu, where did these come from?"

Lu Yichen looked up at Stone, who suddenly remembered something, "Big Brother, I didn’t mean to... Just got so excited seeing the meat that I spilled the beans."

After saying this, he even snickered at Lu Yichen with a silly grin.

Lu Yichen’s expression remained unchanged: "Then you better control your excitement in the future, blabbering like this won’t do."

Stone laughed and said, "Not anymore, I’ll remember it tightly in the future, Brother."

Luo Qiao yelled towards the two in the courtyard, "Are you done yet? I’m going to start cooking."

Lu Yichen washed the chicken in the yard before heading into the kitchen, "Give me the knife, I’ll chop it into pieces to save you the trouble."

Luo Qiao stepped aside upon hearing this, watching Lu Yichen skillfully chop a chicken into evenly sized pieces and clean them before putting them into a bowl and handing it to her.

Luo Qiao thought to herself that he was indeed meticulous, becoming more and more considerate.

Gao Suhua had been acting strange since last night, and Zhao Pulin even asked her at noon, "You’ve been restless all morning, what’s happened?"

Fearing Zhao Pulin would grow suspicious, Gao Suhua said, "What could have happened? It’s just the matter of land distribution after the harvest. The officials have started preparing these past few days, and it’s uncertain if we’ll get some of the better plots."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pulin’s focus shifted for indeed villagers had been discussing the distribution of land, wondering how much farmland each household would receive and whether they would get any good plots.

Thus, Zhao Pulin said, "Didn’t the village officials say that good and bad lands will be allocated together? Why worry so much?"

Among the girls in the yard, only Zhao Xiaomei knew that her mother must have made arrangements today, or else she wouldn’t be so distracted.

After Luo Qiao and the others finished eating, Lu Yichen cleaned up the dishes while Luo Qiao started to make the sauce, adding quite a lot of chili because Stone and Lu Yichen could eat spicy food.

The main ingredients being mushrooms, diced rabbit meat, and chilli peppers, the fragrance soon spread, and even the people resting by the bridge could smell it. Someone commented, "Whose house is frying meat? It smells so good."

The person beside joked, "You’ve got a nose like a dog."

"I’m not talking nonsense. If you don’t believe me, take a good whiff. Someone is really frying meat, and it’s to die for."

Luo Qiao let the cooked meat sauce cool off before filling it into the sterilized jars that Lu Yichen had prepared earlier, filling as many as five jars.

Originally, Luo Qiao wanted them to take all of it with them, but Lu Yichen and Stone insisted on leaving two jars for her. They agreed to take the shuttle bus to the city together the next morning, and then they left.

Luo Qiao locked the front door, tidied up a bit, and went into the kitchen to put the two jars of mushroom meat sauce back into space before locking the house door and entering her own space.

As night fell, two shadows entered the village entrance, spoke to someone they were meeting, and then headed towards Luo Qiao’s courtyard via a small path.

The contact watched the two find the right place, then left the same way to wait for them below.

After Luo Qiao finished her boxing and yoga in her space and indulged in a warm bath, she went up to the study on the second floor to continue reading, letting her hair dry naturally.

But halfway through, she sensed something outside. She packed up, changed her clothes, and left her space. Her senses, such as hearing, sight, and smell were sharper than others due to her special ability.

Tiptoeing, she opened the door of the house and stepped out into the yard. She heard someone outside saying, "How do we get inside with such high courtyard walls?"

Another voice replied, "How about you stand on me? Once you’re in, open the main door first, and then I can follow."

"Damn, that woman didn’t even give us a heads-up about the setup of this courtyard and ran off so quickly."

"Let’s circle around first and see if there’s an easier way in. We can’t afford to make a noise and alert the people inside."
