"You guys go down first and move the more expensive items. If that brat catches up, don't run too fast. It's okay if you fight her; just treat it as a lesson for her. She can't beat you."
Song Ruier explained to those rascals.
"Once we find the money, I will give each of you three taels as agreed."
"Brother Rui'er, could you give us a little more? I heard that the Qiao family has a hundred or two hundred taels of silver."
"Yes, three ounces per person is too little. We risked our lives for you. Besides, we all stole the money together, it wasn't just your doing."
Song Ruier straightened her face: "I am the Qiao family's grandson, and that money should rightfully belong to me. I just used a little trick to get it first. It wasn't that we stole the money together. This is my reward to you. You need to understand the difference."
"Three ounces is enough for your pocket money for a year. You can have any snacks you want and buy any toys you want. If you don't want to, you can go back."
"Alright, then we can get started," the rascals had no choice but to say.
It's worth it to get so much silver just by causing a little trouble.
They moved stones and wooden blocks to raise the wall, and climbed over it. Almost everyone in the village went down to the river, so even though they did it so blatantly, no one saw them.
The boys jumped down together.
It seemed like they stepped on something, and with a snap, that thing bit their foot.
"Ouch, it hurts!"
"It hurts so much, I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding so much, it's killing me."
Qiao Lian'er opened one eye, and sure enough, the restless ones had arrived. Judging from the voices, it wasn't just one, but several.
The kitchen door was closed, bolted upside down, and propped shut with a thick stick.
Qiao Lian'er opened a corner of the room window.
Three or four boys had their feet caught in animal traps. Some were bitten on the insteps, and others on the ankles, the bites embedded deep and bleeding profusely.
What's even funnier is that when the two boys landed, both feet were in the same spot, and they stepped into the same animal trap, their feet getting stuck together.
These naughty children were howling, tears streaming down their faces, terrified and helpless, unable to run away.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Song Ruier climbed onto the outer wall, lying prone to avoid attracting attention, so he couldn't see clearly below.
"We stepped on the trap, blood, all blood, sob sob sob."
"Song Ruier, you liar! You sent us to steal money, why didn't you scout out the situation here beforehand?"
"You've ruined us all, you jinx!"
Song Ruier's expression changed instantly. That brat was on guard. Luckily, he wasn't the one who jumped down first.
"What does this have to do with me? You came here to steal things yourselves, claiming I sent you. Do you have any proof?"
"I'm going home. You'll have to figure it out yourselves," Song Ruier said, quickly getting up and preparing to jump.
"Song Ruier, where are you going? It was your idea that got us caught in the trap. At least you should come and help us."
"Yes, you abandoned us and left us here. What are we going to do? You have no conscience at all."
"It's all because you guys are greedy, you can't blame me. I don't know where there are traps buried down there. What's the point if I jump down and get trapped?"
Song Ruier looked a little guilty, but showed no remorse. She jumped down and ran away in a flash. The two others who hadn't jumped down earlier also quickly followed her.
Only these kids are left wailing.
Two people were hopping on one foot while holding onto the wall, but the two who were caught in the same clamp couldn't get out.
Qiao Lian'er watched as they bled more and more, then opened the door and went outside.
"Are you still going to steal from my house?"
