Chapter 207 Stealing Green Bricks

Seeing that she was still unwilling to give up, Old Man Chen said with drooping eyelids, "Old woman, please stop talking. Didn't you hear what Wu Baoan said just now? He is not a human being. He is so biased that he even goes so far as to offend us. If we cause trouble again, I guess he will really turn his back on us.

If they really expel us from the village, have you thought about the consequences? What will happen to the third brother in the future? In my opinion, we should stop making trouble."

Old Mrs. Chen glared at Old Man Chen fiercely. "I'm getting mad at you for being such a coward! Isn't Wu Baoan just a poor village head? You're not afraid of him at all. You're only trying to give him face by speaking nicely. If you really push me to the limit, I'll get some rat poison and kill his old sow. See if he learns his lesson."

Old Man Chen's face turned pale when he heard this. "Oh my ancestor, please don't do anything stupid. If you are caught, you will be charged with poisoning and will be beheaded."

"Alright, alright, look at your guts. I'm just talking nonsense, I'm not going to do anything stupid."

As Old Mrs. Chen spoke, she stretched her neck to look outside the yard. Looking at the piles of green bricks, she was drooling with greed and really wanted to take them for herself.

She rolled her eyes and said maliciously, "Old man, do you still want to get rich and live in a big house?"

"What do you mean?" Old Man Chen knew she was holding back her fart and quickly shook his head. "I don't want to think about anything. I just want to live a good life."

"Look how scared you are. Don't worry, we won't confront them head-on this time. If openly we can't do it, we'll do it covertly. We'll do it without anyone noticing."

"Secretly, how come it's done secretly?" Old man Chen was curious and couldn't help asking.

Old Mrs. Chen curled her lips and chuckled, "Did you see those blue bricks?"

"I see, they're all along the road!"

"Do you know how much this brick costs?"

"have no idea."

"One penny and two dollars."

"What? One penny and two yuan!" Old Man Chen was shocked and a little bit unbelievable. "Is that thing so valuable?"

Old Mrs. Chen nodded. "Blue bricks are not cheap. Otherwise, most people can't afford to build brick houses!"

Old Man Chen was suddenly puzzled. "Old woman, do you mean to tamper with these bricks?"

"Okay, you finally figured it out. We're no match for that damn girl, so let's just attack her from behind." Old Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows and smiled evilly, "What do you think, old man? Do you dare to vent your anger..."

Old man Chen blamed all the responsibility on Chen Qingqing, and was certain that Chen Zhanshan was corrupted by her, otherwise it would be impossible for such a filial and honest eldest son to meet him without saying a word.

Even if he humbled himself and took the initiative to greet his eldest son, he would ignore him. He felt angry when he thought about this.

Old Man Chen frowned and nodded, "Why should I be afraid? That damn girl has ruined our family. If she had been willing to marry, our family wouldn't have been starving, and Ruolan wouldn't have compromised and married Fan Tong as a concubine.

Her family is doing well, but she doesn't even bother to help us old couple. She has no conscience at all. Now she wants to build a bigger house. No way. Even if she can't extort money, I feel disgusted with her. "

"Yes, yes, yes, what you said is very good." Old Mrs. Chen thought that Old Man Chen completely understood what she meant, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know what to do next?"

"Don't worry, old lady. Even if I don't sleep tonight, I will go and fill their slumber."

Old Mrs. Chen frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Old Man Chen said, "You're asking what I'm going to do. Didn't you just say that if the open approach doesn't work, we'll do it covertly? I'll take advantage of the darkness at night and smash all those bricks to see what that damn girl can use to build a house."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Chen almost fainted from anger. She pointed at Old Man Chen and said, "You are so stupid! How could I have ended up with a brainless idiot like you? Could you please use your brain and stop being so stupid?"

"Why are you scolding me?" Old man Chen was stunned by the scolding, speechless and angry.

"I, why have I become such a fool again? Didn't you just say that if we can't fight them openly, we can just do something bad behind their backs? Those bricks are only a penny or two, and I think I can break a hundred or eighty of them in one night, so that's a lot of money.

Why are you complaining about me again? If you don't let me do it, I won't do it. Why do you keep scolding me? Do you think I'm an old lady's urinal and you enjoy it when you piss me?"

"Look at your bad behavior. I told you a few words and you don't even want to listen." Old Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at him fiercely. "Who told you to go smash bricks in the middle of the night? Can't you think of something else?"

Old Man Chen was unconvinced and stiffened his neck. "You are really unreasonable. I wanted to burn it with fire, but that thing won't light up!"

Old Mrs. Chen was stunned and completely speechless. She really wanted to pry open Old Man Chen's head to see whether it was filled with water or manure. She kept saying "you you you" for a long time but couldn't utter a word.

"Alright, stop being so mad. If you think smashing bricks is risky and you're afraid of getting caught, then I can choose not to go. Why get so angry?"

After saying this, Old Man Chen glanced at Old Lady Chen. Seeing that her eyes were almost popping out, he felt happy. "Let you call me stupid. This time I have made you speechless!"

Let’s see if you’ll learn your lesson. If it happens again, I’ll make you fall flat on your face.

Old Mrs. Chen gasped for breath, and it took her a while to recover. She gritted her teeth and glared at Old Man Chen. "I've said so much, and you still don't understand. You're so stupid! I really want to pull your head off and wash it with water."

"You old woman, are you going to stop? Why am I so stupid?" Old Man Chen felt aggrieved and stubborn. "Those bricks are inedible and can't be lit. What else can I do besides smash them? What else can I do?"

"Can we take it home and use it to pave the floor or build a chicken coop? Wouldn't that be better than smashing it?"

Old Mrs. Chen's words finally woke Old Man Chen up from his dream.

He scratched his head sheepishly. "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? If we could get a few hundred bricks in one night, our family would be rich."

"It's not easy, you finally got it." Old Mrs. Chen sighed and continued, "I tell you, let's try not to sleep at night these days and try to steal enough bricks to build three large tiled houses. Then we can build new houses and put up walls, and let that damn girl see that we're living just as well as she is."
