Jiang Dayong's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt the pain in his body lessen.

It was originally a plan that the three of them had made together. There's no reason why only he and Dali were injured, while Jiang Tietou was standing in front of them unharmed.

Why should they share the spoils, and he gets all the benefits while only he and Dali suffer?

This is not fair at all.

Now that's great, we'll all beat Jiang Tietou up and suffer together.

Brother Dali is indeed Brother Dali; he can even come up with such a wicked method!

Jiang Dayong's face was full of smiles as he wholeheartedly agreed, "Hehe, Brother Dali's suggestion is good. That way, even if we show up at the village entrance covered in injuries, no one will suspect anything."

Besides, Uncle Tietou, we're doing this for the greater good, you wouldn't disagree, would you?

He winked and smiled maliciously.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tietou became agitated.

He looked at Jiang Dayong and Jiang Dali in disbelief and hurriedly said, "Hey, Dali and Dayong, you can't do this. Look at me, I'm so old, I definitely can't take another beating."

Think about it, we'll need more manpower when making mosquito coils later on. I'm strong and can do the hard labor, but if I get injured, won't we be short-handed? It's not worth it!

There must be other ways besides this one.

Jiang Tietou was so anxious that he paced back and forth, and a fine layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

If he doesn't come up with a solution soon, he's going to get beaten up.

Jiang Dali covered the wound on his forehead, grimaced, and finally said in a low voice, "Uncle Tietou, if you can't come up with a good idea, we'll have to beat you up too, so you'll end up like the three of us."

Jiang Dayong stared at Jiang Tietou with bright eyes, already rubbing his hands together, looking for a place to strike.

Jiang Tietou was drenched in cold sweat, which slid down his face, but he didn't bother to wipe it away. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him, and he thought of what he considered a very good solution.

“Hey, everyone in the village knows that three thieves broke into Old Jiang’s house. So why don’t we just have one less person to go out and meet up? Da Niu will stay at home for a while, and the two of you will come with me to the village entrance to meet up.”

"That brat Jiang Wanwan will never suspect us if she sees that only the two of you are injured." Jiang Tietou thought this was a brilliant idea.

Jiang Dali smirked and looked at Jiang Tietou with disdain. "Uncle Tietou, do you think that brat Jiang Wanwan is so stupid and easy to fool? Looking at your age, she can tell you can't climb the wall after a moment's thought, so she must have found someone to replace you."

And Da Niu wasn't there. Anyone with a brain would know that Da Niu had replaced you. So, if they turned around and guessed, wouldn't they know that it was the work of the three of us?

But if you get injured too, Jiang Wanwan and the others will never suspect us. Why?

"Why?" Jiang Dayong asked curiously.

Jiang Dayong's eyes widened as he waited for Jiang Dali to explain.

"Because they never imagined that in order to clear the villagers' suspicions, Uncle Tie Tou would sacrifice himself and even injure himself!" Jiang Dali slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

Hmph, no matter what, Jiang Tietou is going to get a beating, otherwise he won't feel comfortable.

He gained nothing but benefits, and suffered no harm whatsoever himself!

There's no such thing as a free lunch.
