Chapter 20 Something Happened
Seeing that all the seeds had been planted, God didn't send down any rain. Yang Kaifu was so anxious that he was running around. He gathered strong laborers from several surrounding villages to go to the dam to dig a waterway.
I vow to bring living water to every piece of land.
In the past few days, the number of villagers has suddenly decreased by more than half. Many families work in the dark to get a senior engineer's license. Even Qin Zhilin signed up to dig a canal, and he always comes back in the middle of the night, shivering in the cold.
In the quiet night, with the sound of frogs, Qin Qing felt inexplicably irritated and tossed and turned for a long time without being able to fall asleep.
On the other side is Liansheng’s grandmother’s house.
The short, skinny monkey whispered to the tall figure, "Boss, we've searched everything, but there's nothing here except some small change and antiques!"
Zhao San frowned, his thin face sunken, and he looked even more gloomy. "I don't believe that Mr. Lu has only this much wealth. When he was a landlord, he was very prosperous."
A fierce look flashed in his eyes.
The man strode forward to the young man who was pinned to the ground, unable to move. He patted his face with the back of his head and said cruelly, "Aunt Lu, this is my sister Ying's only child..."
Old Lady Lu's face was as pale as a bloodshot. She trembled as she said, "Gou Wa'er, I'll give you whatever you want. Just let Lian Sheng go."
"Aunt, don't blame me for being unkind. It's God who doesn't give us a way to survive, forcing us to find something to eat." Zhao San said with a wry smile.
"As long as this good nephew doesn't say anything, I won't be willing to hurt him..."
"Boss, these are all the things this old woman has in her room, look!" The other two immediately moved out all the boxes where Old Lady Lu hid her money, which also contained a lot of calligraphy and antiques.
They all came from poor places and gathered together to beg for food. Thanks to someone telling them that the old woman of the Lu family had hidden a lot of things, they were able to sneak in.
The timing was critical. Almost all the strong laborers in the village went to dig canals, so they easily sneaked into the village under the cover of darkness.
"Aunt, you are so mean. You send my brother away so easily with such a small thing." The man's eyes were full of greed, and he was obviously not satisfied.
Yang Liansheng clenched his fists, suppressing his inner resentment. The veins on his forehead popped out. He could hardly believe that this man who was doing such dirty things was actually related to him by blood.
Seeing this group of people rushing into the yard like ghosts, he pushed him down immediately. At this moment, the person behind him still covered his mouth and nose with his wet hands, which was disgusting.
To seek wealth is nothing more than to make money.
Lu Jinrong helplessly begged them for mercy, "It's really gone. How can an old woman like me get so much money?"
"Aunt, I dare not underestimate you. You are very smart. You persuaded my uncle to jump into the river, and you are still living a happy life, aren't you?" There was a hint of resentment in the man's voice.
Every word was piercing. The blood drained away from the boy's face in an instant, and even his hands began to tremble slightly.
Seeing his grandmother looking as if struck by lightning, Yang Liansheng felt extremely heartbroken. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he broke free from the man who was holding him, climbed up in a panic, and supported the old lady.
"Grandma, don't listen to his nonsense!" The young man comforted the old lady in a clumsy voice, staring at Zhao San fiercely with his eyes, like a fledgling wolf cub, fierce and cruel.
The wretched man beside him excitedly pulled down the red cloth bag that tied the old man to the head of the bed and opened it hastily, only to find that there was only an old-fashioned longevity lock inside. There was hope in his eyes.
Who knew that Zhao San would snatch it away and stare at the grandfather and grandson with burning eyes.
"This is my Zhao family's stuff!"
"Give it back to me!" The old man found strength from somewhere and pushed the short man away, then stepped forward to snatch the longevity lock.
There was a hint of darkness in the man's eyes.
He pushed the old man away without any hesitation and said viciously, "This thing never belonged to you."
Suddenly, a figure jumped up, knocked Zhao San to the ground, and started beating him.
Fistful of flesh.
"You know shit!" The young man was so angry that he cursed without thinking.
