Yang Xiaocui spent two days in anxious anticipation, finally waiting for the time she and Yang Daniu had agreed upon to deceive Li Chuntao into going up the mountain.
In fact, she had come up with the idea long ago, but she didn't want any variables—she wanted to succeed in one go.
She didn't want Li Chuntao to have time to think about the truth of the matter, so she delayed it until the last moment.
That morning, she got up early and secretly boiled an egg to take with her.
Sometimes she really felt that certain things were helped by fate, because it happened to be a day when the adults at home didn't have to take the children to and from school. Once the kids were familiar with it, they could manage on their own.
She went to the intersection early to wait and did so openly because she had an excuse. If anyone asked why she was there, she could say confidently that since it was the children's first day going to school alone, she was sent there to wait by the intersection.
