After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Ye Jiaojiao stayed for a while, and Zhao Gaoxuan came to call her back for dinner. When Ye Jiaojiao went out, she happened to meet Shen Nianle who had returned from playing in the village.

"Xiao Le, I'm going back."

"Sister Jiaojiao, why are you going back? Wait here and eat dumplings together!"

Shen Nianle called out to Ye Jiaojiao, "Why don't you eat the dumplings here and go back to eat the meal made by his brother Gao Xuan?" How could this sister Jiaojiao be so upset?

"Xiao Le, you're just calling me Sister Jiaojiao? I'm still standing here, can't you see?"

Zhao Gaoxuan looked at Shen Nianle with a look of "She can eat dumplings but I can't?"

After hearing what Zhao Gaoxuan said, Shen Nianle hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Gaoxuan, it was too dark and I didn't see you."

"You guys eat the dumplings. Your brother Gaoxuan has prepared the meal. Let's go back and eat." After saying that, Ye Jiaojiao pulled Zhao Gaoxuan back.

Not long after Shen Nianle returned home, Shen Nian'an also came back from the cowshed. The two went to the kitchen to cook the dumplings that Shen Nian had wrapped in advance and brought them to the kang.

"Sister! Go wash your hands and eat dumplings!" Shen Nianle shouted to Shen Nian.

"Hey! I'll go right away!" Shen Nian smiled, put the book aside, got off the kang and went to wash his hands.

The three siblings sat on the kang, gathered around a large plate of delicious dumplings, and began their pleasant dinner.

While eating dumplings, Shen Nianle enthusiastically shared the fun of playing in the snow with his friends in the village today.

He described the joyful scenes of them making snowmen, having snowball fights, and skiing. When he talked about Li Erwa falling down with his buttocks facing the air and his face in the snow, Shen Nian and Shen Nian'an laughed out loud.

"Sister, today's dumplings are so delicious!"

Shen Nianle sighed and stuffed another dumpling into his mouth.

"Xiao Le, I think you are having too much fun!" Shen Nian'an joked with a smile.

Shen Nianle chuckled and nodded, "Yeah, brother, come play with us next time!"

"Xiao An, what are you learning from Uncle Wang recently?"

Wang Yiming also approached Shen Nian at the beginning and asked Shen Nian to study medicine with him, but Shen Nian declined.

Later, Wang Yiming discovered that Shen Nian'an had a strong memory, and he set his sights on Shen Nian'an again. This time his wish came true. Shen Nian'an also wanted to study medicine, so he followed Wang Yiming to study.

Shen Nian was a little curious about what Uncle Wang taught Xiao An. Xiao An would run to the cowshed whenever he had time.

Speaking of this, Shen Nian'an's eyes lit up and he answered excitedly:

"Uncle Wang is teaching me how to read. It's cold now, and there are almost no people in the cowshed. The uncles in the cowshed are taking turns teaching me how to read. Uncle Wang said that I should learn to read first and then learn other things."

Shen Nian looked at Shen Nian'an's eyes that seemed to glow, and was happy for Xiao An for finding something he liked.

"It's great that Xiao An likes it. Xiao An, you must study hard." Shen Nian encouraged with a smile.

Shen Nian'an nodded, his face full of anticipation and excitement. He was full of enthusiasm and desire for learning.

At six o'clock in the morning, the Shen Nian'an brothers were still dreaming on the kang, and Shen Nian went to the woods in the east. Today was the time to deliver the goods to Heizi again.

There was a vast expanse of snow all around, making the sky seem bright. As Shen Nian walked to the foot of the hill where he often delivered goods, he found something wrong.

She squatted down, looked at the ground carefully, and drew lightly on the ground with her fingers a few times. Shen Nian frowned.

Obviously, someone has walked here, and judging from the extent to which the footprints are covered by snow, it should not have been long.

Judging from the footprints, they should be those of a man. After being covered by the falling snow, the footprints on the snow left a few shallow footprints on the ground.

Shen Nian's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

Shen Nian quickly stood up, stepped back gently, and prepared to leave this potentially dangerous place.

As soon as Shen Nian retreated behind a big tree, she quickly slipped into the space. As she entered the space, she heard a slight noise coming from the opposite side of the hill.

Shen Nian used the spatial concealment feature, took two steps, and found that no footprints were left in the snow. Then he walked quietly to the hill.

She carefully observed the situation below and saw two men in black squatting beside a tree at the foot of the hill. There seemed to be people beside the trees behind them.

Shen Nian's heart tightened. These people didn't seem like the gangster's men. She remembered that when she delivered the goods last time, Heizi said that their black market had been shut down, and now other black markets in the town were targeting them.

Could these be the group that Heizi mentioned? How did they know about this place?

Although Shen Nian was full of doubts, she knew that she couldn't act rashly at this moment, so she observed quietly.

The two men in black seemed to be waiting for something, exchanging glances from time to time, looking a little anxious.

"Why hasn't this person come yet? Is Aqiang lying to our boss?"

One of the men grumbled in a low voice, his tone revealing dissatisfaction and doubt.

The other man, who was obviously their leader this time, frowned and glanced around sharply.

"Don't talk nonsense. Ah Qiang said he came to get the goods. Since he wants to join us, he must show his sincerity. Let's be patient and wait."

Shen Nian listened to their conversation in the dark, and became more certain of their identities and purposes.

These people must have come for the gang boss's black market, and they also knew the existence of her as a supplier. It seems that there is a traitor around the gang boss.

What was he planning to do this time? To steal her goods? Or was he planning to take down the gangster boss and steal her goods while he was at it?

Shen Nian observed their movements in space and quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind.

She glanced at her watch. It was ten minutes until seven in the morning. As usual, the gangster should be here soon. Shen Nian knew that she couldn't keep hiding like this.

She left the hill silently and walked quickly towards the exit of the woods, while keeping an eye on the movements behind her.

Shen Nian reached the exit, hesitating whether to leave or inform Heizi that there was a traitor around him, and looked at a group of people walking towards him in the distance.

After hesitating for a long time, Shen Nian finally left the space and hid beside a tree. Shen Nian was still very satisfied with Heizi as a partner.

Apart from constantly asking her if she has any rare goods, Heizi never crosses the line and asks where she gets the goods from. Every transaction ends at 7 o'clock.

She never arrives early. Looking at where she gets the goods from, changing a partner probably won't be as easy as Heizi. It will take time to get to know her better.

Soon, Heizi and a group of his men arrived at the entrance of the woods. He turned around and gave a few instructions to his men behind him, then walked towards the woods alone as usual.
