Chapter 23: If I can't exchange my granddaughter for her, I'll let my son steal her instead
The Du family ate a wild rabbit at night, and Yao Meixian did not pick up meat for her daughter, lest her three sons accuse her of favoritism. Even if she picked up some for her daughter, she would share it with her brothers one by one, or simply not pick up any and let the children eat by themselves.
Du Wenguan picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it into Du Wanwan's bowl: "Brother! You've worked hard all the way, eat more."
Du Wanwan smiled and nodded: "You eat too, Wenjun! Wenguan! Wenhuo! Dad! Mom! You eat. Eat it all at night, don't leave any leftovers, eating overnight food is not good for your health."
Du Wenjun grinned naively: "I'm eating, brother! You've worked hard pushing the cart, so eat more."
He wanted to pick some meat for her, but Du Wanwan refused: "Don't worry about me, just eat it yourself."
Du Jiang and Yao Meixian were very pleased when they saw this. Even if the children saw delicious food, they would not rush to put it in their own bowls, but would politely refuse it.
After eating and cleaning up, everyone found a place to rest.
Du Wanwan slept next to the cart with her seventh sister and Aunt Hua. No one was assigned to keep watch at night, so the two crows volunteered to take on the job.
In the middle of the night, a dark shadow approached and overturned the basket on the cart. The seventh sister shouted, "There are bad guys, there are bad guys."
Aunt Hua followed and shouted: "The bad guys stole things, the bad guys stole things."
Du Wanwan was very alert, she jumped up and kicked the shadow. She didn't dare to use her power, for fear of kicking the person to death and getting into trouble.
With a cry of "Ouch", the black shadow was kicked several meters away.
She had been drinking the spiritual spring water given by Yaya during this period of time. Her body seemed to be tempered and gradually began to recover to the state she desired.
Even if it has not reached the ideal level, it is much stronger than the original owner's body.
"You bastard, you hit me." The shadow got up from the ground, limped over, and walked to Du Wanwan, holding a sharp knife for killing sheep. "I'm from the village protection team. I came to see if your family is okay, but you hit me instead."
Du Jiang, Yao Meixian, Du Wenjun, Du Wenguan, and Du Wenhuo all stood up. Seeing the man pointing a knife at Du Wanwan, they felt very angry.
"Kind?" Du Wanwan raised her hand and knocked the knife in the man's hand to the ground, then kicked it aside with a cold look in her eyes, "You ran to my car and opened the basket to see if my family was okay? Are you crazy or did I not look carefully enough? Tell me, who are you? What do you want to steal from my house?"
There was a commotion here, and the captain of the village protection team came over. He shone a torch in his hand and his face suddenly became ugly: "Huo Lao Er! What are you doing? Your mother didn't get the meat during the day, and it's your turn to come at night?"
He heard Du Wanwan's words when he came here just now. He believed that Du Dalang was such a capable man that he would not lie and frame others.
Originally, this Huo Laoer had a habit of stealing when he was at home. He would get into other people's cars and overturn other people's baskets. If that's not stealing, what is that?
It was not wrong for Du Dalang to treat him as a thief, but who knew who would sneak in at midnight? What if he didn't treat him as a thief?
Otherwise it would be a petty theft, why would you lift the basket off someone's car for no reason?
Huo Laoer was about to quibble, but when he saw the ugly and distorted face of the village guard captain, he lowered his head and dared not speak.
His mother went back and told his brothers that this Dalang from the Du family was very creepy and asked them to stay away from him.
He didn't believe it, so he decided to come and steal their meat at night. It was easy to bully a stranger, not as scary as his mother said.
As a result, just as he approached the wheelbarrow and touched the basket, two birds started chirping, and then a dark shadow kicked him with such force that he was kicked far away.
Fortunately, he had been through a lot at home. If it was someone else, that kick would have killed him. A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old had such great strength. No wonder he had always been the one pushing the cart.
Du Wanwan was in a bad temper because he came to the house to bully her again and again. She stared at Huo Laoer with sharp eyes.
In an unhappy tone, he said, "I tell you honestly, if you want to eat meat, you either have to buy it with money or go hunting in the mountains. Taking advantage of others and getting something for nothing will cost you a price.
Considering that this is your first offense, I will not punish you. If you do it again, I will not give you your hands and legs. We are outsiders, but we will not let anyone bully us. "
The captain of the village protection team knew Du Wanwan's ability. He glared at Huo Laoer and ordered him, "Apologize to the Du family. It's a shame that your family is so weird in our Huojia Village."
The clan leader Huo Si'en rushed over and knew what had happened when he saw Huo Laoer. This man had loved stealing since he was a child, and usually in the village, he would kneel down and beg for mercy when he was caught.
He refused to admit anything unless he was caught, and with Old Lady Wang's tantrum-throwing mother cheering him on, Huo Lao Er was always fearless.
I don't know why. Logically, at that time in the evening, Old Lady Wang would never give up if she didn't get the meat. But she took her granddaughter away. I thought she realized her mistake.
It turned out that it wasn't him, and it was his son Huo Laoer who stole it instead.
Du Jia Dalang is a real capable person and such a person should not be offended.
Besides, he had kept them here with good intentions, and he had said that Huojia Village was a famous village of scholars with a good moral character. However, he was slapped in the face by Huo Laoer's family.
The mother and son took turns to come to the house and covet the other person's meat. When they couldn't get it in exchange for their granddaughter, they asked their son to steal it. Is this something that someone from Xiucai Village would do?
"Second Brother Huo! Your family is such a disgusting rat shit." Clan leader Huo Sien was very angry and pointed at Second Brother Huo's nose and cursed, "Either apologize and swear not to harass the Du family again. Or, take your whole family and get out of Huojia Village."
Upon hearing that he was going to be expelled from the village, Huo Laoer no longer dared to stand still. He knelt down in front of Du Jiang and kowtowed to apologize.
"Uncle! I'm sorry! It's my fault. My kids are just craving meat, so I can't help it."
He sounded pitifully, and Du Jiang's heart softened. But when he saw his daughter's unhappy expression, he had to harden his heart.
"Greedy for meat?" Du Wanwan sneered, looking at Huo Laoer, "If you're greedy for meat, you won't go hunting in the mountains? Why do you have to steal from someone's house? I'm also greedy for the rice in your house. How about stealing it too?"
Yao Meixian stood aside, staring at Huo Laoer angrily, and told him bluntly: "My Dalang is very strong. You are unlucky to fall into his hands."
Seeing that Huo Lao Er's face turned pale, Du Wanwan said calmly, "If I didn't know that you were from Huojia Village, and if I didn't remember the care the clan leader has given us, I would have made sure that you would have been lying on the bed for half a year.
I held back so I didn't cripple you. You won't get away with it so easily next time."
Huo Si'en looked at Du Wanwan with appreciation, thinking that this girl was really good at talking. It was obvious that she wanted to let Huo Laoer go, but she said that she did it for his sake.
As a result, Huo Laoer's family had no choice but to accept his favor.
Despite his young age, he is well versed in the ways of the world and is truly a talented person.
It's a pity that my granddaughter looks down on him, otherwise it would be perfect to adopt him as her son-in-law.
