The place where they were was still a busy road in the village. Cao Xiangnan really didn't think that Cao Laoer had the guts to steal his money here, but it seemed that he still underestimated the shamelessness of Cao Laoer.
Cao Fuqiang used to bully his younger brother because he was honest. There were so many brothers in the family. The eldest was the eldest brother, the fifth was the most loved by his mother, and he was also a capable student. In the end, the fourth brother was the only one left, who was the softest and the easiest to bully.
But he might not know that the current Cao Xiangnan was no longer the Cao Xiangnan of the past.
"Come on, help me, steal my money..." Cao Xiangnan shouted when Cao Laoer rushed over to search his money.
"I know you have money on you, fourth brother, just give the money to your second brother." Cao Fuqiang stood up and was used to bullying this fourth brother in the past. He thought he could do the same now, so he went straight to search his body for money.
Anyway, it was this fourth brother that my mother disliked the most. Could he go back to my father and mother to seek justice?
"Cao Laoer, you bastard! Get out of my way!" Cao Xiangnan was weak and skinny, and he was no match for Cao Laoer, who was as strong as a pig. Fortunately, he was flexible and could not let Cao Laoer get close to him.
The two of them played the game of chicken catching chicken. Cao Xiangnan was furious and embarrassed by Cao Laoer's teasing. He looked around to find something to beat him with.
Chen Hong happened to come back from the field. He heard someone shouting "Help" from a distance. The voice sounded familiar. He walked closer and saw that the person shouting was Cao Xiangnan, his god of wealth. Cao Xiangnan also saw Chen Hong and shouted, "Chen Hong, Chen Hong..."
"Fourth brother, just hand over the money obediently, won't that be all?" Cao Xiangnan choked him, and Cao Laoer caught him, and was holding his fourth brother down to search him.
Chen Hong directly picked up the hoe in his hand and rushed over, completely forgetting that he was a brother. He shouted and directly picked up the hoe and smashed it on the back of the man who grabbed Cao Xiangnan.
"Ah..." Cao Laoer shouted in pain and let go of Cao Xiangnan.
"Bad rascal, I'll beat you to death!" Chen Hong said viciously.
Cao Xiangnan, whose clothes were messed up by Cao Laoer, wanted to beat Cao Laoer to death. He caught Chen Hong who was trying to beat Cao Laoer with a hoe. If he really beat her to death, he would have to pay Cao Dapeng for his wife.
"Hiss--" Cao Laoer took a breath when he moved, staring at Cao Xiangnan and the other boy arguing with each other. He recognized that this was Cao Dapeng's family at a glance, pointed at them and said three times, "You two, okay, okay, okay..."
"You are so bad, Cao Xiangnan, you dare to hit your own eldest brother, I will go back and tell Mom that you will be in trouble." In the past, Mom would help him but not his fourth brother, so Cao Fuqiang was so fearless when bullying Cao Xiangnan, the fourth brother.
"Oh, I'm not afraid of you even if you report it to the county magistrate!" He really didn't take Chen Zhu seriously. Cao Xiangnan winked at Chen Hong, straightened his clothes, and said, "You'd better explain why I hit you. If you can't explain it clearly, we'll go to the county magistrate together to explain it clearly."
Chen Hong held a hoe in her hand, and she wanted to hit Cao Laoer again and beat this bad guy to death.
"You, you, you...just wait and see." Cao Laoer blamed his fourth brother for the beating Chen Hong gave him.
This person is a weak person who is afraid of the strong. He is arrogant at home and will bully his own family. Outside, he will be bullied by others. Covering his back with his hands, Cao Laoer looked at his brother who was trying to hit him with a hoe, his neck shrank, he turned around, and ran away with staggering steps.
"Turtle grandson!" Chen Hong muttered.
Looking at Cao Xiangnan who was bullied, he said, "If you see such a person in the future, just beat him up, and then go to the village chief after beating him up."
Village chief? Cao Xiangnan was really upset when he thought of the village chief he met on the day of the separation. If he remembered correctly, the village chief was close to the Cao family compound, so now he would not think of going to the village chief even if he had something to do, even if he went to Li Zheng.
"Don't be so impulsive in the future. If you hit someone with this, you will kill him. Next time, use a stick to beat someone, and I guarantee that you won't kill him." Cao Xiangnan glanced at the hoe in Chen Hong's hand. If someone was beaten to death, they would be in trouble too.
"Hehe..." Chen Hong laughed dryly, "I didn't think so much at the time."
"Are you here to find me?" he asked.
"Yes, I was here to find you. I went to your house and your mother said you were not at home, so I came out. I didn't expect to meet Cao Laoer here." This place was just a detour after leaving Chen Hong's house. Fortunately, I met Chen Hong here.
However, given Cao Laoer's bad nature, they beat him up today, and I'm afraid he won't stop. Cao Xiangnan is not afraid of Cao Laoer, but he finds it troublesome. He feels disgusted when he sees such a person.
"I came here to tell you, if anyone has vegetables to sell, please bring some back for me." Cao Xiangnan told Chen Hong the variety and quantity of vegetables he wanted. He had bought all the vegetables in Chen Hong's field last time. He knew that Chen Hong had no vegetables left, and the new ones would take some time to grow, so he had to ask Chen Hong to collect them from someone she knew.
"Okay, just leave it to me." Chen Hong almost patted her chest to promise.
"Would you like to go to my house for a drink of water?"
"No, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying goodbye, the two went back to their respective homes.
The children at home had all gone to bed, and the yard was quiet. When Cao Xiangnan returned, his husband Wanfeng was washing the pots he had bought for him in the yard. "Are you tired? If you are tired, go and rest for a while. I'll do it here."
He was afraid that Qi Wanfeng would have to bend over and get up and down to do these jobs,
which would be bad for his health. "It's okay, don't worry about me. It's just washing a few pots, it's not a heavy job." Qi Wanfeng found that his husband was staring at his belly. When he was pregnant with An'an, his husband was not often at home, and he didn't accompany him like he is now. No wonder his husband was always worried about the baby in his belly.
The two of them were washing the altar in the yard. Cao Xiangnan told Qi Wanfeng about the encounter with Cao Laoer just now. "If you are at home, be careful. I think Cao Laoer is a person who specializes in stealing and doing bad things. I am afraid that he will come to our house."
There are many valuable things in their house now, and there is a lot of rice and grain in the kitchen. If Cao Laoer really comes to their house, they don't know how much loss will be. The most feared thing is that thieves are eyeing your house.
Qi Wanfeng knew who Cao Laoer was after living in the same yard for several years. When she heard her husband mention the people there, Qi Wanfeng frowned. They have lived here for so long, it is quiet and peaceful, and he almost forgot about those people in the Cao family compound.
"Don't frown, we will have to face the people from the Cao family sooner or later." Seeing Qi Wanfeng frown, Cao Xiangnan raised his hand and tapped his forehead, leaving a watermark, "I'm here, don't be afraid." He said.
"Husband..." Qi Wanfeng was worried.
"It's okay. At worst, we can raise two big dogs here. If a stranger comes, we can kill him. When Brother Cao Gang comes back, I'll ask him if he knows who has a big dog. If there are puppies, we can get two to raise." Cao Xiangnan thought of the Tibetan mastiff that could bite a lion to death, but there were probably no Tibetan mastiffs here, so two obedient wolfhounds would be fine.
"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng thought about it and agreed.
The place where they lived was originally quite remote, and there was still some distance from the village. It would be nice to raise a dog to guard the door. When their new house was built, they would build the wall higher and raise a dog inside.
When the vendors in the town came back from packing up their stalls, Cao Xiangnan had already prepared dinner at home. He asked Cao Dapeng and Sun Ji to take a bowl of the brine back home. The two did not refuse and left happily. The
smell of the meat made them drool. Cao Silang's stewed meat was so delicious.
"Why did you bring back a bowl of meat?" Chen Hong smiled when she saw her husband bringing back a bowl of meat.
"Xiangnan asked me to bring it back." Cao Dapeng swallowed his saliva as he smelled the meat. He took the meat out of the lunch box and handed it to his wife. Chen Hong found that her husband was staring at the piece of meat, like a big dog that couldn't get enough food. Finally, she couldn't help but pick up a piece with her fingers and put it into her husband's mouth.
Cao Dapeng subconsciously opened his mouth and ate the meat. He smacked his lips twice and it was gone.
"Is it delicious?" Chen Hong asked.
"Delicious." Cao Dapeng nodded stupidly.
"We'll eat the rest later." Such a big bowl of meat was not a small amount. Normally, he would not buy it to eat. After eating the meat sent by Cao Jia Silang once, Chen Hong liked it. Cao Jia Silang would ask his husband to bring a bowl of meat from time to time. The most important thing was that this tasted delicious. He himself could not make it.
The husband stood beside him and followed him. Chen Hong told his husband about how Cao Laoer bullied Cao Xiangnan today, and naturally did not hide the fact that he beat Cao Laoer. Cao Dapeng was so angry that his teeth itched and he wanted to go over and beat Cao Laoer.
When the two families sat down to eat together, Cao Xiangnan asked Cao Gang if he knew who had a big dog and wanted to raise two puppies. Cao Gang thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, I'll go over and ask for you later
." "Okay." Cao Xiangnan told Cao Gang about his plan to build a house, "If the land here can be bought, I want to buy all of it. Do you want to buy a piece of land here and build a house here in the future?"
Sun Bailian was a little tempted, and he looked at his husband with a gleam in his eyes.
"Bang bang bang--" Cao Gang was about to speak when someone slammed the door of the yard hard and fast.
"Open the door, open the door, Cao Xiangnan, open the door, bang bang bang——" His good mother's voice came from outside.
