Chapter 189 The Thief's Thoughts
Food, clothing and daily necessities are essential, and there is also a set of sterling silver necklaces, locks, bracelets and anklets.
Shen Yi delivered the things to the door.
After seeing this, Han couldn't stop smiling and praised her daughter and son-in-law for their generosity to everyone she met.
Sun Ying'er, who had just become pregnant, congratulated Han and kept saying auspicious words.
The relatives from the Han family couldn't help but feel envious and praised Su Tai for marrying a good husband.
Gradually, Chen Yi became the mate choice for all the girls waiting to get married in the surrounding area, which made a group of unmarried men hate him very much, including Xiong Kai's cousin Niu Peng.
Originally, during the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Niu arranged a marriage for Niu Peng. The girl was from Ximen Village. She was pretty and Niu Peng was quite satisfied with her.
The marriage was almost settled, and at this time the news that Shen Yi sent a bunch of things to Yue's family spread.
His future father-in-law casually asked, "When your brother-in-law has a son, what will you prepare for him?"
Niu Peng couldn't tell whether these words were true or not, and thought that his future father-in-law really intended for him to follow Shen Yi's example and empty the family's assets, so he immediately backed off and said nothing.
His future father-in-law was also unhappy, thinking that if he just tested the issue like this and his future son-in-law didn't dare to accept it, what could he expect from him in the future?
The two of them had their own thoughts. Niu Peng's future father-in-law told his family about the situation, and the woman's attitude became somewhat negative and lazy.
Niu asked a matchmaker to come to her house to discuss the date, but the girl's family unexpectedly closed the door and refused to see anyone, giving the matchmaker a cold shoulder.
The matchmaker went to the Xiong family in a rage, "Sister Niu, you are making fun of me in this cold weather!"
Niu didn't understand what was going on, so she gave her grandson to Xiong Kai and went out to greet him, "Hey! What's the matter? I can make fun of anyone but you!"
The matchmaker calmed down a little and sat down, "This marriage is not going to happen."
Niu was shocked and jumped up from the stool. "How is this possible? Both families had agreed on this, but what went wrong?"
Niu's voice was so loud that it attracted Xiong Kai and Mo Chunxiang over.
The matchmaker glanced at Mo Chunxiang and said indifferently, "It's still so cold right now, who wouldn't hide in the house to avoid the cold? That family must be here, I've introduced my family but they haven't even opened their doors for me, do you think this marriage can be successful?"
Xiong Kai was anxious, "But why do they go back on their word?"
Seeing that her son was getting impulsive again, Niu quickly pulled the man back, forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and sent the matchmaker away. Then she turned around and asked Xiong Kai to take her to the Niu family in Liujiazhuang.
As soon as she entered the door, she asked anxiously, "Apeng, what's going on between you and Gao Xiaohua? I asked a matchmaker to come to our house today to discuss the date, but the family blocked the matchmaker outside the door. The matchmaker was so angry that he came to settle the score with me, and I kept apologizing to him like my grandson before he sent him away."
Niu Youfu's happy face suddenly darkened. He looked at Niu Peng fiercely and kicked him, "What's going on? Your aunt-in-law finally found you a wife, and you ruined it?"
Niu Peng dodged in pain, "Dad! Listen to me! I didn't provoke Gao Xiaohua, yes... yes."
After Niu Peng finished explaining the whole story, everyone fell silent. He looked aggrieved, "I didn't know Gao Xiaohua's father was so serious! If I had known this, I would have agreed to everything."
Xiong Kai pounded the table in anger, "Chen Yi, Chen Yi, and Chen Yi again! What does that bastard want to do? I just married his fiancée! Is he going to make things difficult for me for the rest of my life?"
Niu Youfu was also very angry, and gnashed his teeth and said, "I originally wanted the eldest girl from the Wei family to marry into our family, but because of Shen Yi's interference, his cousin snatched it away."
"It's really hateful! Uncle, we can't let this matter go like this!" Xiong Kai's eyes were burning with anger and hatred.
Niu was terrified, and hurriedly grabbed him tightly, scolding him harshly: "What do you want? They didn't do anything to you openly, can you be in the right by coming to their house? Besides, Shenjiazhuang is their territory, what can you do? Haven't you learned your lesson from the injury you suffered at the Wei family last time?"
She was really scared by what happened last time and was worried that Xiong Kai might do something wrong again.
Xiong Kai didn't take it seriously. "Mom, what happened last time was an accident. I didn't expect the Wei family to be so reckless. They definitely won't do that this time. He ruined my cousin's marriage, so he must compensate us!"
Since Shen Yi can give so many things to the Su family, it means he is not short of money.
In just a short while, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Niu Peng and he were in sync and the two exchanged glances.
After Xiong Kai sent Niu back, he made an excuse to go out. Niu Peng was waiting for him outside Ximen Village.
"Cousin, what should we do?"
Xiong Kai saw the greed in Niu Peng's eyes and chuckled, "I heard that Shen Yi sells pot cakes and often gets up to work after midnight. He also has to go out to deliver goods during the day, so he doesn't spend much time at home. We can climb over the wall to his house while he's not here."
Niu Peng's eyes lit up, and he smiled obscenely: "I heard that Shen Yi's wife is very tender and delicate. I have to sleep with his woman to relieve the hatred in my heart."
Xiong Kai's face suddenly darkened. Thinking of the face that had amazed and made him regretful when he first saw her, an inexplicable jealousy surged in his chest. He glanced at Niu Peng coldly and warned, "That woman is mine!"
It was originally his, but he didn't want it anymore so Shen Yi took advantage of it. If that woman is willing to change her mind, he can accept it.
Niu Peng laughed twice and muttered in dissatisfaction: "You already have a wife, but I have never tasted a woman!"
Xiong Kai didn't give him a good look, but just walked in front with big strides.
That night, the spring weather was chilly and all was quiet in Shenjia Village.
Two dark figures quickly walked into the village from the entrance.
"Do you know which direction Shen Yi's house is?" Niu Peng asked in a low voice.
Xiong Kai said with some disdain: "They don't make pot cakes in the middle of the night, so why not just find the busiest one?"
Niu Peng praised, "Cousin, you are really smart. My brain really can't compare with yours."
Xiong Kai no longer wanted to answer the question. If he hadn't wanted to take advantage of the night to find out the exact location of Shen Yi's home, he wouldn't have had to do such a sneaky thing in the cold night wind.
The two wandered around the village for a long time, and after about an hour they finally reached the wall of Shen Yi's house. However, it was too dark, and they could not see the height of the wall, let alone the size of the yard.
The two of them wanted to walk around the courtyard wall to get a rough idea of the size of the courtyard.
As a result, they walked for half a day but still couldn't reach the end, and they couldn't help but feel resentful.
"Cousin, are we seeing a ghost?" Niu Peng was so scared that he almost pissed himself. His voice was trembling and he was extremely panicked.
Xiong Kai also felt something was wrong, but pretended to be calm and said, "Why are you panicking? Didn't you hear any noise inside? How could we see a ghost? There should be several houses connected together, and we don't know where we are now! Forget it, the sound is clearest here, it should be this family, let's climb over the wall and take a look later."
