Because of the three-day limit imposed by the stranger, Zhang Zongde, the village chief, and Fang Yan did not announce Zhang Weicheng's robbery to the outside world.
However, the small village of Gouzi has almost no secrets.
In addition, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a night with a bright moon, everyone can relax and visit each other for leisure, which is an essential part of the celebration.
So, the news that Zhang Weicheng, along with outsiders, planned to rob Fang Yan spread, but no one knows from whom it first got out.
In less than a night, the news spread like wildfire, reaching the entire village.
"Bang!" When Zhang Laowu heard the news, he was drinking. Firstly, it was because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and secondly, after tonight, that bitch Fang Yan would soon be no longer bothering him.
Let's celebrate in advance.
I never expected to hear this news when I was halfway through my drink and my head was starting to spin.
He was stunned for a second, then his mind immediately recalled the boy's unusual behavior when he met Fang Yaojin that morning.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Laowu realized that this bastard was actually after Fang Yan's money!
You should know that Zhang Laowu had long considered all of Fang Yan's money as his own.
Fang Yaojin taking Fang Yan's money is taking Zhang Laowu's money!
Enraged, Zhang Laowu immediately smashed the bowl in his hand, yelling, "Damn it! You son of a bitch!"
He suddenly stood up and walked out.
"Dad, which dog's bastard offspring offended you?"
In his haste, the chubby boy didn't even bother with chopsticks. He reached into the plate, grabbed a few pieces of chicken, and stuffed them into his mouth while excitedly following behind Zhang Laowu, shouting, "I'll go beat him to death for you!"
None of the family members realized that this child, who was not yet ten years old, was already a warmonger.
He gets excited whenever he hears about fighting.
He was so excited that he was willing to temporarily forgo eating his favorite meat.
"Get back here," Zhang Laowu turned around and glared at the big fat boy. "There's plenty of meat tonight, enough for you to eat your fill."
Although, after the family division, and Zhang Jizhou's last act of upholding justice by formally proposing that the allowance would no longer be given to Zhang Laowu.
However, over the years, Zhang Laowu has accumulated a considerable amount of money in his hands, just from Zhang Jizhou's allowances.
Moreover, there's Xue Wanxue's dowry.
Therefore, the Zhang family had a very prosperous Mid-Autumn Festival, with chicken, duck, pork, and fish all available.
Of course, these good things can only be enjoyed by Zhang Laowu and Da Pangdun first.
Then there's Huang Hongmei, who also gets to eat a few pieces thanks to Da Pangdun.
As for the rest of the Zhang family, it depends on the mood of Big Fatty and Huang Hongmei.
If I'm in a good mood, I might give each person a dollar or two.
When I'm in a bad mood, I won't even want to eat a drop of soup.
Ever since Fang Yan separated from the family and moved away, Li Ermei has been living the miserable life that Fang Yan had before.
While eating the watery porridge and the stale vegetables, Li Ermei quickly reached out and picked up a piece of chicken for her son when Da Pangdun and the others weren't paying attention.
Unfortunately, luck wasn't on her side. She had just picked it up when the big fat boy turned back and shouted, "Put it down! That's mine! None of you lowly creatures are allowed to eat it!"
With the Mid-Autumn Festival fast approaching, Zhang Laowu hadn't bought any meat in the past few days, which made Da Pangdun very hungry.
As a result, tonight he was extremely domineering, not even wanting Gao Dashu and his family of three to have a single drop of meat soup.
"You're so fat, and my son is so skinny. Why can't he even eat a piece of chicken?"
Although Li Ermei was a bad person, her love for her son was genuine.
"Just because he's my son, everything in this house belongs to him!"
Zhang Laowu, who hadn't gone far, turned back, glared at him, and said with a fierce look on his face.
Previously, Li Ermei and Gao Dashu had only heard these words from Da Pangdun'er.
Hearing Zhang Laowu say this for the first time today, their hearts sank to the ground.
Especially Li Ermei, during this period, she listened to Zhang Laowu's words quite a bit and went to fool Fang Yan.
All I wanted was for them to have a slightly better life in the future.
Zhang Laowu's words almost shattered her illusions.
Overwhelmed by anger and hatred, Li Ermei secretly thought, "I can help you deceive Fang Yan, and I can also go to Fang Yan to inform on you!"
Zhang Laowu never took these stepchildren, including Li Ermei and her son, seriously, and was certain they wouldn't cause any trouble.
After speaking, he didn't look at Li Ermei again, and turned to leave.
But once he reached the gate, he realized that there were no more houses in Gouzi Village that he could visit.
Now, he is like a rat in the street, and no one likes him.
Whose house could he visit for a while, maybe drop by for a bit?
In a fit of anger, he had intended to confront Fang Yaojin.
Once outside, he realized that he didn't even know where Fang Yaojin was at that moment, so where could he go to find him?
As they walked, they arrived at Old Zhang's house and decided to go in and ask Zhang Weicheng about how he and Fang Yaojin robbed Fang Yan that day.
As soon as Old Zhang saw it was him, he immediately closed the door again, saying, "Go away, and don't come to our house again."
The reason why the Zhang family's reputation has been getting worse and worse is that after they spoke up for Zhang Laowu a few times, the whole village stopped liking them.
Some people have such strange minds; even if they can't poop, they'll only blame the latrine for not working properly.
On this beautiful night with a full moon, the old men of the Zhang and Zhang families glared at each other with tense expressions.
Fang Yan was unaware of the situation. At this moment, she was sitting in the courtyard, keeping an eye on the candles on the table, watching Xiaoyuzai and Qibei playing games beside her, admiring the moonlight, and constantly going over the clues she had listed the day before and the events of today in her mind.
Perhaps it's because the moonlight is so beautiful tonight that I've been trying to figure out a crucial point that I hadn't been able to understand before.
But then I suddenly understood!
Previously, Fang Yan couldn't understand why Zhang Laowu kept having Li Ermei and Gao Meijiao remind her every now and then to take good care of Xiaoyuzai.
During this time, Little Fish also suffered a minor accident.
Fang Yan once thought that her initial judgment was wrong because of their actions.
I just tried to connect all the events of today with those clues.
Fang Yan immediately had a bold idea – Zhang Laowu must know this guy called "Brother Jin" from today.
Moreover, they must have reached some kind of agreement.
Just then, a flash of inspiration struck Fang Yan, and her eyes widened abruptly as something suddenly came to mind…
