Wei Mo naturally saw the two arguing, and seeing the old hag also annoyed him. Why was this old woman here again? It seems he still needs to teach her a lesson.
Seeing Li Xiuxiu leave, the old woman wanted to go forward, but when she saw Wei Mo, she was also annoyed, thinking, "Why is it that brat again?"
The old woman stepped forward, looking at Wei Mo with some trepidation. Just as she was about to approach him, she saw the fish strung on the fishing line.
Although Grandma Liu was old, she was only in her fifties. She picked up the fishing line, carried the fish on her back, and ran away. Wei Xiaomin noticed and chased after her, but after all, she was just a child and could not outrun Grandma Liu!
Wei Xiaomin failed to catch up and cried the whole way back!
Wei Mo felt sorry for his two older sisters and told them to go home. However, they didn't go back and continued fishing. Wei Mo ran straight to the brigade leader's house, determined to get an explanation today!
Fortunately, it wasn't too far, and Wei Mo knocked on the door and went inside.
Seeing Wei Mo panting heavily, Li Dazhuang went up to ask what was wrong, fearing that something urgent had happened.
"Old Lady Liu ran up to the dilapidated temple and stole our fish right in front of us! If you don't do something about this, Captain, I'm going to the military support office to have the soldiers deal with it. This is robbery, banditry, she should be shot!"
In the past few years, the bandit suppression campaign basically resulted in executions. Wei Mo was not wrong; theoretically, all crimes committed were the same.
The brigade leader was speechless. This old shrew really needed to be dealt with. She caused trouble every few days. He called two strong laborers who lived near the brigade leader's house and they went straight to Old Lady Liu's house.
The old woman was happily scaling a fish when she saw the captain barge in. Her heart skipped a beat, and without saying a word, she lay down on the ground and didn't move, refusing to make a sound.
The captain was speechless. What could he do? What could he do when faced with such a shrew? As for Old Lady Liu's family, they all stayed far away, and no one came to interfere.
Wei Mo was about to step forward and collect the fish, even taking them back would be nice, but little did he know that Old Lady Liu was even more ruthless. She spat out several mouthfuls of phlegm at the basin containing the fish.
Wei Mo was disgusted and stared straight at the captain.
"Captain, are you going to take care of this or not? If not, I'll go find someone to take care of it."
Wei Mo was completely enraged!
The brigade leader ordered two strong men to take the old woman to the brigade headquarters. As soon as the two men reached out, the old woman started shouting and yelling.
"Indecent assault! Everyone come quick! Indecent assault!"
The two had no choice but to stop and look at the captain. The captain was also helpless and looked at Wei Mo to see what the victim had to say.
Wei Mo didn't care about all that and directly gave orders to the captain.
"Captain, you watch. I'll go to the city and get some men. I'm not a Wei if I don't get my revenge today!"
The captain was worried that Wei Mo might encounter danger, so he sent a strong laborer to accompany him. This old shrew should also be dealt with, otherwise she will cause even bigger trouble sooner or later.
The strong laborer following Wei Mo was named Shan Chao, Shan Zhenhai's father. After they went out, he grabbed Wei Mo.
"Tell me who to look for, and in whose name to look for them. I'll go; it'll be too slow to bring you along."
Wei Mo told Shan Chao to go to the military support office and explain that he was a military family member. He then thanked Shan Chao.
"No need to thank me. I just don't like her either. If this keeps going on, who won't get annoyed by her?"
After Shan Chao left, Wei Mo returned to the dilapidated temple, which was the only way back from the town. Waiting here would not delay his fish basket weaving.
As for whether the military support office is effective or not? With soldiers fighting so desperately at the front, how could the rear not be supportive? If anyone goes to them, they'll basically be sued before they're even cured!
Seeing that his older sister had stopped crying, Wei Mo offered a few more words of comfort.
"Don't worry, sis, I'll get revenge for you in a minute. I've already sent someone to the military support office, and they'll definitely get revenge for us!"
Wei Xiaomin was still feeling down, and her older sister was also in low spirits. It took Wei Mo a while to coax her to cheer her up.
Seeing that his two older sisters had calmed down, Wei Mo went to check the clip again.
This was a good haul: 1 pheasant, 3 pheasants, and 5 yellow-chinned pheasants.
Wei Mo put the little bird away, rearranged the trap, and returned to the roadside to wait for Shan Chao to return.
Not long after, Shan Chao returned with five armed soldiers and ran into Wei Mo.
These are not militiamen, but People's Liberation Army soldiers in uniform!
On the way to the old woman's house, Wei Mo told the soldier about the situation.
Seeing Wei Mo leave, the old woman softened her stance and began to yield to the brigade leader.
"Just give it back to him, Captain. We're from the same village. Why should we need outsiders to resolve anything?"
The captain didn't bother with Old Lady Liu and just sat there.
With Wei Mo's return, the door was opened, and Old Lady Liu had no choice but to resort to her shameless ways again!
"So you're Granny Liu? You've bullied military families and committed robbery. These are serious crimes. Take her away."
The squad leader directed the soldiers to tie up the person.
The old woman started yelling again.
"It's indecent assault, People's Liberation Army! It's indecent assault! I can't live anymore!"
The squad leader immediately picked up the gun he was carrying and pointed it at the old hag.
"Insulting the People's Liberation Army is an even more serious offense; any further insults will be dealt with on the spot."
The old woman stared at the dark muzzle of the gun and shut her mouth.
As the old hag was led away, the squad leader began to speak.
"Anyone among you who is his family member, immediately compensate Wei Mo for his losses!"
Old Mrs. Liu's two sons looked at each other.
“We have no money; my mother controls all the money.”
The second son's wife spoke up from the side.
When will my mother be able to come back?
The squad leader looked coldly at the people in front of him.
"Robbery, bullying military families, arresting and insulting the People's Liberation Army—you'll never be able to come back for these crimes in your lifetime."
Upon hearing the squad leader's words, the whole family burst into tears—not tears of sadness, but tears of joy. The second son's wife, while crying, suddenly started laughing, then ran into the old woman's room, took out a box, and began counting money.
They proactively compensated Wei Mo with 2 jin of meat coupons and 5 jin of grain coupons.
Although there weren't as many fish as there were crucian carp, the result and the other party's initiative allowed Yu Mo to let the matter drop.
As the old hag was taken away, cheers of victory erupted from inside the house. As for revenge? They were more likely grateful to Wei Mo!
After the old hag was taken away, Wei Mo thanked the three captains and then left, returning to the front of the dilapidated temple.
He took out the meat coupons and grain coupons as compensation and waved them in front of Wei Xiaomin.
"Sister, I've avenged you. That old shrew was taken away by the People's Liberation Army. This is their compensation to us."
Wei Xiaomin put down her fishing rod and looked at the receipt in Wei Mo's hand.
"real?"
Seeing Wei Mo nod, Wei Xiaomin's mood improved completely, and she kept asking Wei Mo what had happened.
Wei Mo recounted the whole incident to Wei Xiaomin, who then ran over and patted her younger brother's head.
"My little brother is so great! He's the best!"
Seeing that his sister had completely let go of the past, Wei Mo's mood improved as well. As for the outcome of dealing with the old hag?
Don't even think about it, it definitely won't be good. He'll probably be sent to some corner and live in a cowshed.
Or maybe they ate a peanut and got a second chance in their next life. But for those people, whether they even have a next life is a question!
