Chapter 149: Caught in the Act

When Qiao Yu saw Zhang Wei going out, she immediately asked, "Zhang Wei, where are you going?"

Zhang Wei did not panic and simply replied, "Ah… I'm going to pick some vegetables. There's not much left at home."

"Then why aren't you bringing your siblings along?" Qiao Yu looked at Zhang Wei in puzzlement.

"We… we… We found a bunch of stuff yesterday! But we were too weak to carry it all, so we hid it under a pile of soil. I'm going back to take a look." Zhang Wei casually came up with a lie.

Qiao Yu's eyes lit up when she heard that there were a bunch of good things to be had. She wiped her hands on her clothes and stood up to go with Zhang Wei.

"Then you won't be able to carry it either. Auntie will go with you!" Qiao Yu quickly came over and wanted to follow him.

Zhang Wei quickly turned her down and said, "No need, no need. There's not much left so I can carry it myself. You can stay at home and help my mother with the cooking."
