The school continued to operate as usual.
In just two days, it was ti for Yang Xiaocui and Yang Daniu’s appointnt.
Yang Xiaocui felt it was like heaven was helping her, because there were two big events in the village these days.
That was the Yang Family starting to harvest cabbages and soybeans.
The villagers had long been looking forward to harvesting cabbages. Every household planted quite a lot, just waiting to sell them for a good price.
No one expected that this year the soybeans were being harvested too. It was a good opportunity to get so, as each household could plant a few and exchange them for Silver, of course they had to go.
After hurriedly collecting the cabbages and soybeans from her house, they headed to the Yang Family, and even their household was no exception.
Therefore, at this ti, whether Yang Xiaocui went out or went up the mountain, no one would notice.
After busying herself for a while at the school, Yang Xiaocui found an opportunity and said, "Alu, I’m not feeling well and want to go back and lie down for a bit. Don’t worry, I’ll be back in ti to make lunch."
Yang Xiaocui didn’t ntion it to Li Chuntao but spoke to Alu because she thought that for such a small matter, Alu would probably do her a favor since she was on good terms with Li Chuntao.
As expected, Alu simply said, "Alright, then you should hurry back and rest."
Having gotten Alu’s permission, Yang Xiaocui quickly dashed back to her yard. She had no idea that Alu was allowing her to pass on Li Chuntao’s instructions.
Since everyone in her family had gone to the Yang Family to deal with the cabbages and soybeans, only the children were at ho, so Yang Xiaocui felt bolder.
She grabbed a basket and, as usual, put a knife inside, and left.
Seeing that Yang Xiaocui didn’t go ho to rest but went out again, Alu followed for a few steps, then returned to report to her young lady.
When Li Chuntao heard the news of Yang Xiaocui making an excuse to go out, she asked, "Where did she head to?"
"Miss, it seed to be towards the mountain."
Li Chuntao raised her eyebrows slightly. She couldn’t understand why Yang Xiaocui would use an excuse to go to the mountain.
Could it be, like last ti, she’s going up the mountain with Yang Daniu again?
Thinking this, Li Chuntao stood up and said, "Alu, let’s go to the mountain and take a look."
The two of them thus went to the Nanshan. They had no idea where Yang Xiaocui went because they couldn’t see her figure anymore. However, Li Chuntao thought perhaps it was the route they took last ti, so she decided to go in and see.
Just as they were about to enter, a voice called out.
"Miss Li, are you planning to go up the mountain?"
Li Chuntao turned around and saw Yang Dong. She hadn’t expected to run into him at this ti. She replied, "Yes, we’ve been busy here, now that the school is running smoothly, there’s nothing much to do, so I thought of going up the mountain for a bit."
"Miss Li, the mountain is dangerous, I think you shouldn’t go. If you want to go, why not visit the back mountain we just bought. It’s safe there and I can accompany you."
Yang Dong had stopped them entirely because he had just seen Yang Daniu going up the mountain. Yang Daniu wasn’t a good person, and if Li Chuntao went into the mountain, it wouldn’t be good if anything happened.
Li Chuntao was very anxious. She felt that Yang Xiaocui had insisted on going up the mountain, so there must be sothing going on. Maybe if she went up, she could find out the truth.
But unexpectedly, she was stopped by Yang Dong. She had no choice but to give up, "Thank you for the warning. Since it’s dangerous, then I won’t go."
She turned to Alu, "Alu, let’s head back."
"Alright, miss."
