If that’s the case, how skilled are the thieves? They could’ve slit our throats without us ever knowing! Anyway, who would steal firewood?
“Hurry, hurry. It could be someone from the village—”
“No, Miss,” Bai Tai interrupted. “The villagers aren’t skilled enough to take away so much firewood.”
“But…” Qian Yiyun looked at the straw shed again. There was not a single piece of firewood left.
“Master is back, Miss,” Bai Tai said.!!
“What Master… Oh, she’s back?”
Qian Yiyun was stunned for a moment before she realized what Bai Tai meant—her sister-in-law was back!
She was the one who took all the firewood. Bai Tai did not react to her taking the firewood because she knew her.
“Yiyun, you woke up so early?”
Just then, she heard a familiar voice coming from the treehouse. It was An Jiuyue’s voice.
She watched as An Jiuyue slowly descended the stairs with Yan Nuo behind her.
Qian Yiyun could not help but blush in embarrassment. They had both returned, but she did not notice and slept like a pig.
“Sister-in-law, when did you return? Why didn’t you wake me up? Did Yan Nuo accompany you back? Why isn’t Big Brother with you?”
“Your brother has something to do.” An Jiuyue smiled. “Yan Nuo is here to pick you up. I’m back because I have something to do.”
As she spoke, she looked up at the treehouse. She had lived in it for several years. Her father had left her the best haven. She did not know when she would return again after leaving for the capital.
She actually did not have many things she wanted to take from the treehouse. She just had to arrange for two people to stay here after they leave. Otherwise, she would not be able to feel at ease.
“I can go back now?” Qian Yiyun was very happy to hear that.
Although the treehouse was quiet and comfortable to live in, she was alone.
Bai Tai lived with her, but she was very stoic and never took the initiative to chat with her.
Qian Yiyun was very bored. She was so bored that she would go to the forest to dig for wild vegetables every day.
“Miss, pack your things. We’ll set off after breakfast,” Yan Nuo said to Qian Yiyun.
Qian Yiyun looked at the treehouse and asked An Jiuyue and Yan Nuo, “Are we all leaving?”
Wouldn’t it be a pity if everyone left?
An Jiuyue knew what she was thinking and replied, “Yes, we’re all leaving. I’ll arrange for two people to be here to watch over the house. It’ll be alright.”
Besides, her straw shed still had to be filled with firewood, right? Did those men think they could go home so easily? Dream on!
“Okay then.” Qian Yiyun nodded.
Instead of digging for wild vegetables, she headed upstairs to make breakfast with An Jiuyue.
…
After some time, the three of them were done eating.
An Gouzi and the others also came up the mountain. Today was the happiest day since they started climbing up the mountain to chop firewood because they would never have to do it again after today.
However, when they arrived at the straw shed and found it empty, they were dumbfounded.
“Where… where’s the firewood?”
An Feng gaped and stared at the straw shed in a daze. They had worked hard for so many days to fill the straw shed, but there was nothing inside.
