“It can actually understand you?” Pei Yao seemed to have discovered a new world.
“Yeah, this little pink lizard is especially smart.” Chi Jiao said.
The little pink lizard lifted its little head proudly, obviously responding to her praise.
Pei Yao gave the lizard a thumbs-up.
However, to encourage the little pink lizard to work, she had to fill its stomach first. Chi Jiao took out some beef jerky from her bag for the little pink lizard to eat.
After the little pink lizard had eaten, Chi Jiao and Pei Yao washed their faces and feet before getting onto the brick bed.
Yes, there was only a heatable brick bed and an old table in the room. One couldn’t afford to be picky.
Fortunately, the brick bed was very warm.
With the little pink lizard guarding the door, Chi Jiao and Pei Yao were able to relax. The two of them fell asleep not long after lying on the brick bed.
A dreamless night.
The next day, early in the morning, Chi Jiao heard Ah Ping’s voice coming from outside.
“You can’t even perform such a small task. You useless piece of trash!” His voice was filled with resentment and impatience. “Hurry up and boil some hot water. Don’t delay the guests from using it. If you can’t manage such a small matter properly, I’ll whip you with my belt!”
Obviously, he was trying to show off his dominance over his wife.
Chi Jiao sat up on the brick bed and put on her down jacket. She then got off the brick bed and put on her shoes before walking towards the door.
Pei Yao also opened her eyes and quickly put on her jacket and shoes. She followed behind Chi Jiao.
They had just walked out when they saw the well in the backyard. Ah Ping was shouting at Little Xiu, who was drawing water.
“Move quickly!”
Little Xiu was already panting from exhaustion, but he looked like he hadn’t noticed at all. He also had no intention of helping her.
Pei Yao’s expression turned cold.
She despised men who threw their weight around women.
Suppressing the urge to beat someone up, Pei Yao turned to look at Chi Jiao.
Chi Jiao could roughly guess what she wanted to do. She also found the current Ah Ping very displeasing, so she nodded at her.
Pei Yao immediately went up to Little Xiu and took the water bucket from her, saying, “I’ll help you draw water.”
Ah Ping didn’t expect Pei Yao to take the initiative to help. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled apologetically at her. “Young Miss, you don’t have to do this manual labor. You guys have already paid, so let us do the manual labor.”
When Pei Yao heard Ah Ping’s words, the corners of her lips curled up mockingly. She looked at him in disdain. “Young Miss? My name is Pei Yao, please call me by my name. Also, can’t you see that your wife is very tired? You’re here shouting and scolding so early in the morning, how is everyone supposed to sleep?”
Pei Yao was a woman with a very strong aura. When she was angry, her aura became even more dominant.
In Feng Tong Village, the status of women had always been extremely low. Ah Ping had always looked down on women. This was the first time he experienced such an overbearing aura from a woman.
This was also the first time he had been reprimanded by a woman.
His expression immediately turned grim.
The smile on his face quickly disappeared, and he looked at Pei Yao with a dark gaze.
Pei Yao stared back at him, her eyes as cold as ice.
There was an invisible tension between the two of them.
“I… I’m fine. Miss Pei, you should go and rest. I’ll do this myself..” Little Xiu saw that Ah Ping was unhappy and hurriedly snatched the bucket back from Pei Yao’s hands.
