Chapter 175 Arson
After collecting centipedes for a whole day, Yang Qing helped to move the centipedes to the second floor when they finished work.
"Why are there so many today?" Yang Qing saw that the second floor was almost full.
"Today there are more than 20,000 kilograms." Li Liang said with a smile.
"Why are there so many more all of a sudden?" Yang Qing was surprised.
Li Liang smiled. "I looked around and saw that the people who came today weren't just from District 3, but also from Districts 1 and 2. They've settled down in the past two days. They must have heard about our centipede-for-food exchange program, so they've brought over any centipedes they caught."
"No wonder." Yang Qing nodded. "At this rate, two thousand kilograms of food will be replaced in less than ten days. And we can't store so many centipedes here."
Leng Yi nodded, "We should have someone take the centipede away."
"Xiao Li, do you know how to contact Director Hao's people?" Leng Yi asked. Before, they had come on their own and there was no contact information for them.
"I know where the official camp is. How about I go there tomorrow?" Li Liang said.
"Thank you for your help." Leng Yi said.
"No trouble!" Li Liang grinned.
After moving the centipede, Li Liang and Lin Feng said goodbye. When they walked to the door, they smelled the fragrance of food coming from the kitchen. Knowing that Lu Lin was cooking inside, Li Liang couldn't help but look over.
Lu Lin stood in front of the stove wearing an apron and holding a spatula, her face red from the heat.
She is such a beautiful and capable woman, Li Liang thought.
…
Zhao Chunsheng caught a large bag of centipedes and went home. When he ran into his neighbor, he couldn't help but show off his bag, "Daming, look how many centipedes I caught today, at least over 200 kilograms."
Daming glanced at the bag in his hand and curled his lips, "That's quite a lot."
"I was lucky today. I came across a big nest in the mountains. It was full of centipedes. I caught all of them. I can exchange them for a few pounds of food tomorrow." Zhao Chunsheng wiped the sweat off his face and smiled proudly.
Daming sneered, "Uncle Zhao, you don't know yet, no matter how many centipedes you catch, it's useless. No one will accept you."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Chunsheng frowned.
"Today, Aunt Zhao went to the villa on the top of the mountain to change the medicine for your grandson, but she didn't bring any centipedes. People refused to give her the medicine, and she even cursed others to give birth without an anus. That made people so angry that they said they would not accept any centipedes from your family anymore." Daming looked gloating.
Normally, the Zhao Chunsheng family is very stingy and likes to take advantage of others. They have been fed up with it for a long time. When they encountered this incident today, they felt very happy and wanted to add insult to injury.
"What did you say?" Zhao Chunsheng's face changed and he walked to the door. Aunt Zhao looked at him timidly while holding her grandson.
"Is what Daming said true?" Zhao Chunsheng asked sternly.
Aunt Zhao's body trembled. "I, I didn't mean to do that. They are just too cruel..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Chunsheng slapped her in the face. "You damn bitch, you're more likely to cause trouble than to help! Can you afford to offend the people in the mountaintop villa? Who gave you the guts to provoke them?"
"I'm going to beat you to death, you spendthrift bitch!" Zhao Chunsheng said as he grabbed his wife's hair and kicked her hard, making Aunt Zhao scream in pain.
The people living in the same building shook their heads when they heard this, and no one tried to stop the fight. No one wanted to meddle in other people's business and get into trouble.
Zhao Chunsheng was tired of beating her, and his wife was also beaten so badly that her face was bruised and swollen. She hid in the corner, holding her head and twitching.
The grandson was so scared that he burst into tears.
"Stop hitting me. I won't dare to do it again next time." Aunt Zhao trembled.
"There will be a next time? People don't even buy our centipedes anymore, so how can there be a next time?" Zhao Chunsheng got so angry when he mentioned this that he raised his fist and hit the woman again.
Aunt Zhao screamed in pain.
Daming walked over and coughed, "Uncle Zhao."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Chunsheng asked unhappily.
"Uncle Zhao, there's actually a way to exchange food. I can help you do that. They don't know who caught the centipede anyway."
"Really?" Zhao Chunsheng was delighted. "Daming, thank you very much."
Daming smiled and said, "But, Uncle Zhao, I can't help you for nothing. If they find out and don't even accept my centipedes, wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage?"
"This..." Zhao Chunsheng was stunned. "As long as you help me, I will never treat you unfairly in the future. I will give you a share of the food I get in return."
Daming chuckled, "How much?"
Zhao Chunsheng didn't expect that he would reply immediately. He had thought about changing it first, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't give it to him.
But you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child, so they won't help you for free. "How about this, originally 100 kilograms of centipedes for 1 kilogram of food, how about I give you 120 kilograms of centipedes?"
Daming scoffed, "One hundred and twenty catties? Twenty catties can only be exchanged for two ounces of grain, not even enough for a meal for me."
"Then how much do you want?" Zhao Chunsheng's face darkened.
"One hundred and fifty kilograms for one kilogram of grain." Daming said.
"You want half?" Zhao Chunsheng's voice suddenly rose. "You're taking advantage of the situation!"
Daming sneered, "Do you have any other options? Let me tell you, the guy who exchanged the centipede said he knew you, and he definitely won't exchange it for you if you go."
"If I don't help you, then who will? Just wait to starve to death!"
Daming said and turned away.
Zhao Chunsheng had a sinister look on his face and gritted his teeth. "Okay, I'll give it to you!"
But when he thought about the huge loss he had suffered, he became furious and kicked his wife again, "It's all because of you, you stinky bitch! If it weren't for you, would we have suffered such a huge loss?"
In the evening, Zhao Chunsheng didn't let Aunt Zhao eat. He went to bed early after dinner and snored louder than a pig.
Aunt Zhao was hot and hungry, and almost fainted. She got up and drank two sips of water before she felt a little better.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
If it weren’t for those people in the mountaintop villa, how could I have ended up like this?
From now on, I have to offer fifty kilograms more centipedes than others every time I exchange food. The old man will definitely beat me every time he exchanges.
How will we live our lives from now on?
Aunt Zhao thought about it, quietly left the room, went to the kitchen, and took out a bottle of gasoline from under the sink.
The kitchen was shared by everyone. One time, she saw someone hiding a bottle of oil there. She thought it was cooking oil and wanted to secretly pour some out to use. When she was discovered, the person told her that it was gasoline and could not be eaten.
Aunt Zhao picked up the gasoline, stuffed a dishcloth from someone's house into the gasoline bottle, then secretly returned to the room and stole her husband's lighter.
He endured the pain in his body and walked towards the villa on the top of the mountain step by step.
She thought about it, if the people in the hilltop villa didn't let her have an easy life, she wouldn't let them have an easy life either.
She wanted to burn down their villa and see how they could be so proud in the future.
It would be best if they could be burned to death. If not, burn all their belongings and see how they explain to the authorities.
If you are driven out of Yunshan at that time, your life will definitely be worse than yours.
When she thought of this, a sinister smile appeared on her face.
When she reached the front of the villa, she looked at the high wall and saw that it was difficult to throw the gasoline bottle in.
I walked to the iron gate and saw that there was no one inside. I took out my lighter and lit the dishcloth. I looked at the villa gate, which seemed a bit far away. I walked over, held the iron gate and threw it in with force.
He was electrocuted on his hand and fell down with a scream. The gasoline bottle rolled out and stopped not far away.
When she was collecting centipedes during the day, the power of the iron gate was turned off. She had no idea that the iron gate was still electrified and was immediately electrocuted and knocked unconscious.
The gasoline bottle rolled in the middle of the yard, and the gasoline inside poured out and quickly caught fire.
