181 Catching Thieves
At this moment, Zhao Zhitong was peeling peanuts, eating one herself and feeding one to the little puppy. They were getting along quite harmoniously.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was cheerful, but outside the wall, two dark figures were slowly approaching the corner of the wall, brewing a conspiracy.
Wang Mazi said, "Wow, look at these high walls! This family must be rich! We'll lie in wait here. Once they're asleep, we'll sneak in quietly. We'll definitely strike it rich."
Mr. Zhao, who had a stutter, nodded in agreement. "R-r-right... r-r-right!"
Because he stuttered on the last syllable, putting too much force into it, it came out noticeably louder. This startled Wang Mazi, who quickly clapped a hand over Mr. Zhao's mouth. "Keep your voice down! Don't let them discover us!"
Mr. Zhao was frightened now. He quickly covered his own mouth and nodded, gesturing his understanding.
