Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 47: Two People Eavesdropping by the Wall

After helping Qin Kaize put on his clothes, Su Yijia washed herself and then carried a bucket of water outside to empty it. Gao Huabin rushed over to help, even cleaning up the spilled water on the ground without letting her lift a finger. Su Yijia was starting to feel a bit embarrassed. Several times, she wanted to help, but not only Gao Huabin but even Xia Weiguo wouldn’t allow it.

Qin’s mother stood at the second-floor window, watching her with a mixture of disdain and hidden envy. Su Yijia knew exactly what she was thinking, so she raised her chin with even more pride and gave her a teasing wave. When Qin’s mother’s face darkened, she turned around, closed the door behind her, and returned to the room.

Climbing back into bed, she wiped Qin Kaize’s hair with a towel and then wrapped her own hair in a dry towel. The two of them leaned in and listened to the radio, which was broadcasting the story of "Journey to the West." Su Yijia brought out the slang and expressions from her modern life, chattering away while engaging the man in conversation. She also had a notebook to facilitate their communication.

"Just think carefully. What I said earlier, is it true? Think about the types of people who were taken away or injured. The unluckiest person was the one who sent the little demon down the mountain to buy things, and they still had to pay for it."

Qin Kaize thought carefully about her words and blinked twice in agreement.

"Look at how smart Monkey King is. When the Senior Brother is taken away, he immediately goes to gather reinforcements. When the Master is captured, he returns to his hometown."

Qin Kaize was at a loss for how to respond. He couldn’t help but feel that the "Journey to the West" he occasionally heard about in his former life had completely changed its appearance. It was even becoming a bit difficult to listen to. Wanting to ask Su Yijia to turn it off, he looked at her as she enthusiastically shook her head and swayed her body, seemingly enjoying the broadcast, and he dismissed the thought. He reluctantly listened along with her.

"Leader, why are you crouching here?" Gao Huabin had just finished washing clothes and was about to hang them in the courtyard when he saw Xia Weiguo sitting under the window, listening at the wall corner.

Suddenly speaking from behind, Gao Huabin startled Xia Weiguo, who jumped up about three feet in the air. He then gave Gao Huabin an annoyed look. Using hand gestures to indicate silence, he made some room for this simple-minded man.

Both of them leaned against the wall, listening to the warm conversation in the room. Although they could only hear Su Yijia’s voice, they could tell from her words that Qin Kaize was responding to her.

They didn’t listen any longer, and Xia Weiguo pulled Gao Huabin away.

When they were far enough away, Gao Huabin looked shocked and said, "Why does Big Brother have his temper suddenly improve? In the past, he didn’t have the patience to explain so much to us." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Xia Weiguo stared at him somewhat bewildered, not understanding why he was thinking this way. "What, do you want to compete for favor with Ze’s wife? You can try if you want."

Panicking, Gao Huabin quickly shook his head. "No, no! Sister-in-law is our comrade, and we should treat her well. We rugged men don’t always listen and obey, but what the captain is doing is absolutely correct."

Xia Weiguo sighed and said with a somewhat meaningful tone, "Ah, if only Yijia and Ze’s feelings could always be this good. Then, I can die without any regrets."

After all, it was the wife who would truly accompany Ze and lead a good life together for the rest of his life.

"Leader, don’t worry! Big Brother is a good person. He can turn any bad situation into a good one no matter what happens. Plus, he’s so outstanding, and he’s a great hero. Even if he’s lying in bed, I’ll be there to support him. Sister-in-law will definitely not be tired." Gao Huabin spoke confidently about the future.
