Chapter 21: Thieves

Chapter 21: Thieves

Mrs. Zhang went home to prepare medicated wine. When she heard An Lan picking up pheasants and pheasant eggs, she gritted her teeth with jealousy. She felt that An Lan was doing it on purpose. He didn't pick them up when she was gone, but picked up this and that when she was gone. How could she not be angry?

No, she wants to go back and check!

Thinking of this, he hurried to the field without even wiping off the medicinal wine.

But I didn't expect to hear the conversation between the two when I passed by the cowshed.

"How are you, Weiwei?" Li Yanli looked at the pale-faced Bai Weiwei, feeling a little guilty. If she had begged for mercy in front of the captain, Bai Weiwei might not have been locked up in the cowshed.

"I'm much better. Thank you, Yanli, thanks to you for taking care of me. I must praise you in front of Brother Guoqing. You work so hard. If he misses you, he will never find someone like you again in his life." Bai Weiwei said sincerely to Li Yanli with a fragile smile.

"What are you talking about? I'm ignoring you." Li Yanli was very shy, with a red face.

Li Yanli was very shy when she heard Bai Weiwei mention Fan Guoqing. Ever since Bai Weiwei was locked up in the cowshed, she has become more gentle and polite, not at all like her previous crazy look. Moreover, Bai Weiwei also taught her how to pursue Brother Guoqing.

Before, Guoqing brother ignored her, but now he responds to her every request and takes good care of her, almost treating her like the apple of his eye.

"Originally!" Bai Weiwei's tone was more sincere.

"Weiwei, you are so sweet." Li Yanli was very happy. Although Bai Weiwei had praised her before, it seemed that her words were not as sincere as now.

Joke, isn't it insincere?

After a while, Bai Weiwei discovered that she was telling the truth.

She thought of a way. Every time someone came to see her, she would try her best to be nice to them, so as to hypnotize herself and make every word she said make the other person feel comfortable.

Make sure what you say and what you think are consistent so you don't make mistakes.

At first, she couldn't keep her inner thoughts and outer words consistent. It was only after hard practice that she acquired such a skill.

"Yes, Yanli, I have 5 yuan in my box. Please help me take it out and go buy some meat. It's been hard for you to take care of me during this period of time. Eat some meat to replenish your energy."

"Weiwei, you don't have to be so polite. We are sisters and it's my duty to take care of you. I'll get it after I get off work." When Li Yanli heard that there was meat to eat, she immediately drooled and agreed without hesitation.

When Mrs. Zhang heard that there was five dollars, her eyes were full of greed.

Bai Weiwei glanced at a corner of the wall, with an ambiguous light in her eyes.

Mrs. Zhang returned to the field, feeling uneasy and kept thinking about the five dollars that Bai Weiwei mentioned.

Five dollars could buy several pounds of meat. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Thinking of the meat patties An Lan had made at noon, her mouth secreted even more saliva.

As he was thinking, he accidentally cut his hand with the sickle, and blood gushed out immediately.

“Ouch!”

"Mom, why are you so careless? Come on, use this to stop the bleeding." When Zhang Liang, the son of Mrs. Zhang, saw that his mother was injured, he immediately grabbed some grass from the edge of the field and chewed it, wanting to apply it to Mrs. Zhang's hand.

"Where did you find this wild grass? Don't apply it on me casually. I want to go home and apply medicinal wine." Mrs. Zhang pushed her son away with disgust and wrapped the bag in a handkerchief she carried with her.

"No, mother, this is airplane grass, it's very good at stopping bleeding, the villagers have been using it!" Zhang Liang looked at a loss, everyone in the village used this grass to stop bleeding!

"What's good? I must use medicinal wine to stop the bleeding of my wound. These herbs won't work. Don't worry about it. I'll ask the captain for leave. You and your wife can work in the afternoon. I'll go back and rest first."

After saying this, he didn't even wait for Zhang Liang's reply and walked away without looking back.

"Zhang Liang, look at your mother, she is always thinking about being lazy and can't do much work. And your brother, he goes out to fool around all day long and never goes to the fields to earn money. The family depends on the money of the two of us. We can't survive in this world! Divide up! Divide up!" Zhang Liang's wife, Li Guifen, had a dark face, threw away the sickle in her hand, put her hands on her waist, pointed at Zhang Liang's nose, and said indignantly.

"What are you arguing about? My mother is injured, isn't she? Why don't you go home and apply some medicine? Why are you so fussy?" Zhang Liang felt his dignity as a man challenged when Li Guifen pointed at his nose, and his tone became very impatient.

"Injured? She just cut her finger, and she can apply some herbal medicine. But she is precious. She has to go home to apply medicine and ask for leave. She is not going to come back to school this afternoon, right?"

"If you don't want to come back, then don't come back. We can share the money between the two of us." Zhang Liang shrugged indifferently.

"Haha, you make it sound easy. The share of our money has to support a whole family. It's enough to support your mother, why do we have to support your good-for-nothing brother? We finally raised a few chickens to lay eggs, but your mother killed them all and gave them to your brother to eat! Your own grandson didn't even get a single bite!"

"It's none of your business what my mother wants to give to anyone she wants to eat. Also, my brother has been weak since he was young, so it's only right that he gets more nourishment."

"Haha, Zhang Liang, I see you clearly. You are a complete fool! I want to take my son back to my parents' home!" Li Guifen was so angry that she laughed. It turned out that in her husband's heart, she and her son were not as important as a hair of his mother and brother.

"You want to go back to your parents' home. If you go back, don't come back." Zhang Liang frowned, looking very unhappy.

“Okay!” Li Guifen was so angry that her chest ached. Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by nearby villagers and persuaded to come down.

After all, it is not glorious to go back to your parents' home after a quarrel. If it gets out, it will also affect the village girls' views on the men in the village and reduce the chances of blind dates.

Their village is the poorest among the nearby villages. Girls don't want to marry into this village, and these bad rumors are spreading. Won't they be single for the rest of their lives?

Li Guifen was just talking, she didn't want to go back to her parents' home either. Her family originally favored boys over girls, and Zhang Liang had married her back then with a bag of grain.

When she returns to her parents' home, one can imagine what is waiting for her.

Zhang Liang also knew about Li Guifen's situation, so he was fearless. He knew that Li Guifen had nowhere to go except the Zhang family!

Mrs. Zhang didn't know that because she went back home, her daughter-in-law almost went back to her parents' home.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang was wandering outside the courtyard of the educated youth institute.

She looked around and saw that there was no one in the Youth League Institute, so she mustered up the courage to push open the fence door of the yard.

Once inside, there are two doors.

Mrs. Zhang pushed the first door and found it locked, so she pushed the second door and it opened with a slight push.

When Mrs. Zhang walked in, she saw a very conspicuous leather suitcase with wheels, which looked very expensive.
