The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 220 Secret Manual

Tong Yao was a bit caught in dilemma.

She naturally wanted to share a room with Lin Shuang, especially since it would be with Grandma’s approval and they could live together, aboveboard.

But... Should she act a bit more reserved?

Maybe throw a little tantrum as a protest? Grandma no! I’m still a good kid, I can’t live with Lin Shuang!

I’ll be eaten up!

Well, now it’s hard to say who would eat whom.

After all, she had eaten him a few times already...

—But what if Grandma really separates them once she hears!

Wouldn’t Lin Shuang just slip away?

Thinking of this, Tong Yao stomped her foot, "No way!"

Grandma would never guess that her obedient granddaughter’s "No way" meant "No way she can’t sleep with Lin Shuang."

Without any further explanations, Grandma pushed Tong Yao and Tong Ge into the room.

"I just finished making the bed, you sisters go and help clean up a bit."

Tong Yao blushed, looking very shy, "Really, Grandma!"

Actually, this little maid was ecstatic inside: Grandma, you did great!

Su Wan’s chin rested on Lin Shuang’s shoulder, squinting her eyes at this little maid.

—This naughty maid got her way!

Tong Yao put her hand on her waist and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Su Wan felt a bit annoyed.

So she "ow-woo" bit Lin Shuang’s shoulder.

Lin Shuang grimaced in pain, "Ahh—" he cried out.

Grandma, who was directing the sisters, turned around upon hearing the noise.

"What’s wrong with my grandson-in-law?"

Grandma truly treasured Lin Shuang, worrying about him getting hurt.

Su Wan immediately let go, and she and Lin Shuang turned back into the loving brother and sister model.

Lin Shuang rubbed his shoulder, feeling the imprint of Wanwan’s teeth.

This beloved childhood friend sure was skilled at biting him, always leaving a mark without causing too much pain.

It’s all about practice! Hopefully, she gets better on the other aspects too.

Last time was a bit rough...

Almost left tooth marks then, that would have been unacceptable!

Lin Shuang, smiling, struck up a conversation, "It’s nothing Grandma, let me go in and help too."

It felt a bit odd to let his sister-in-law help him and Tong Yao set up the room they were going to sleep in tonight...

Although nothing would probably happen tonight.

—That’s what Lin Shuang thought, at least until he, along with Tong Yao and Tong Ge, were tidying the room and saw a "Secret Manual" Grandma left for Tong Yao.

It was Tong Ge who first found it, a booklet tucked under the pillow.

She curiously picked it up and glanced through.

"What is this?"

This sister-in-law flipped through one page after another.

A beat too slow, Tong Yao finally yelled, "Don’t look!"

She snatched the booklet from Tong Ge’s hands and stuffed it back under the pillow.

Tong Ge nodded calmly, "After all, it’s a ’Secret Manual’ Grandma passed to you."

She said it like Grandma had passed down some secret family Martial Arts Secret Technique exclusively to Tong Yao...

But in reality...

It was a little sketchbook, full of densely drawn little stick figures.

A tiny, tattered booklet, likely a relic from Grandma’s youth.

Truly a family heirloom!

Tong Yao exclaimed, "Ah!" and hit her sister with the pillow.

Tong Ge kept count, "Sis, you’ve hit me three times today..."

The pillow was lifted up, and the "Secret Manual" tucked under it naturally saw the light of day again.

Tong Ge’s gaze shifted again, with a curious look.

Tong Yao started swinging her pillow, "Kids are not allowed to watch!"

"I’m an adult, okay? I’m only a few months younger than you, sister."

Tong Yao, the elder sister, chose to be unreasonable, "Anyway, you’re not allowed to watch!"

Tong Ge repeated, "Fine, I won’t look. After all, it’s the Secret Manual that grandma passed on to you..."

Lin Shuang was amused by her little sister-in-law.

So Tong Yao started swinging her pillow, beginning some domestic roughhousing.

I can’t control my sister, but I can control you!

Take a pillow hit from the little maid!

Her tone was soft and moaning as she cooed, "You’re still laughing!"

Lin Shuang hugged her, "Alright."

While stroking Tong Yao’s hair, he tried to bribe the little sister-in-law, "Little Dove, three scoops of ice cream, and we’ll pretend we never saw this Secret Manual, okay?"

The little sister-in-law knew how to drive a hard bargain, raising both her palms and stretching out all ten fingers very comfortably.

But she felt that ten scoops might be a bit greedy, so she withdrew her little pinky and thumb.

"Six scoops."

"Deal!"

Little sister-in-law Tong Ge nodded satisfactorily and turned back to continue cleaning.

Before turning, she glanced at Tong Yao nestled in Lin Shuang’s arms.

—Sister seems... really comfortable being held by brother-in-law.

She playfully said, "What just happened, sister? I’ve already forgotten it all."

Tong Yao in Lin Shuang’s arms tilted her little face up, looking pitifully at him.

She reached out to grab the Secret Manual again, feeling somewhat like destroying the evidence.

Lin Shuang exclaimed, "We mustn’t do that!"

After all, it’s a Secret Manual that has been passed down for decades!

He carefully took it and tucked it into his pocket.

Before putting it away, he casually glanced at the cover.

Good gracious, no wonder it’s been passed down for decades.

Some of the poses on this cover, he had never seen before.

Is that even possible?

He looked at Tong Yao in his arms, who softly patted him.

Hmm, this little maid has been practicing yoga...

Maybe it will really come in handy!

Tong Yao lingered a bit longer in Lin Shuang’s arms, then continued cleaning.

She really wanted to hug the master a bit longer... Today’s quota of hugs hasn’t been met yet.

The master still owes her several hugs.

Without the master’s hug, the little maid can’t live normally!

Tong Ge spoke up, "Sister, am I being a bit redundant here? Should I go out and take a break?"

Tong Yao waved her broom, "Get to work!"

"Sister is so fierce today, you’ve hit me so many times already."

"It’s only been three times! I’ve been counting!"

Tong Ge then looked at Lin Shuang as if asking with her eyes if those three times could be exchanged for three scoops of ice cream.

This little sister-in-law really loves ice cream.

But the flavor from that shop is indeed good.

After cleaning the room, Su Wan was happily chatting with grandma while nibbling on a watermelon.

Lin Shuang sat down next to her and quietly asked, "Which room are you sleeping in tonight?"

Su Wan handed him a piece of watermelon and gestured towards the opposite side of the courtyard.

Lin Shuang then realized, the room they just cleaned out was completely on the other side of the courtyard.

It’s diagonally opposite the rooms where everyone else is staying!

—Grandma really did create all the right conditions, and even included a Secret Manual.

It seems like she wants to hold a chubby grandbaby tomorrow!
