Chapter 34 The old man is causing trouble again
"If they didn't take it, why would they go to the commune? I hid that thing so well, and no outsiders entered our house. Who else could it be if not them?" The old man in white was full of resentment.
He was 100% sure that the box of small yellow croakers was taken away by that money-loser and those two bitches.
Even if he threw that thing away, he would not give it to those ungrateful people.
"You go to the field and keep an eye on what those people are doing. I'll ask Zizhong to keep an eye on them too. If it's really as you think, that they're taking the things to exchange for money, then I'll go find them tomorrow." Seeing him get angry, Mrs. Bai felt resentful and uncomfortable.
"I still don't believe that a few dirt diggers can cause any big trouble."
The old man smoked his pipe for a while, and when it was out, he knocked on the pipe and said, "Okay, but remember, don't contact them."
"I know, I know. Let's go to the fields."
The old man left home carrying his hoe.
Bai Zizhong was still sleeping and having a sweet dream when he was woken up by a slap from his mother.
"Mom, what are you doing? I'm still sleepy." Bai Zizhong roared at his mother with resentment.
"What time is it and you're still sleeping? Get up quickly, I have something for you to do." Mrs. Bai had some patience with her son, but not much.
"What are you doing?" Bai Zizhong knew his mother's character, so he naturally didn't dare to really anger her. "It's so early in the morning, the dew on the ground hasn't dried yet."
Mrs. Bai looked at her unremarkable son with some disgust in her heart. If it weren't for... she would not have married Old Man Bai, a countryman. But she didn't expect that he also had a big secret.
If they kept the secret well, they would have had a good life in this life, but unfortunately, those people started to make trouble.
No, she had to suppress it and not let them turn the tables.
If they knew the truth, her family would have no good life.
"Hurry up and get up." Mrs. Bai saw that her son had made up his mind and did not stay in his room any longer. "I will do something soon. Don't bother me, or you will be in trouble."
After Bai Zizhong got up and had breakfast, his mother gave him a task, which was to keep an eye on the second and third rooms of the Bai family's main house.
At first, Bai Zizhong was naturally unhappy. His injuries had not yet healed. If he met that money-losing guy again, he would definitely suffer new injuries.
"Mom, can't you just hope for me? Do you think it will be good for me if that bitch finds out?" Bai Zizhong had a face full of resistance.
Mrs. Bai knew this, but she was also afraid. "If you don't go, do you think I should go? I didn't ask you to go to their house, I just asked you to watch around. You were assigned the task of guarding the fields, right? It's right behind that bitch's house, so watching is not just a matter of convenience."
I don't know how that bastard has so much strength. He was fine for more than ten years, how could he change so much in an instant?
If that thing wasn't useless, she would have taken it out and hit her.
How could I bear this kind of humiliation?
"Are you really just going to keep an eye on her? There's no need to go to her house?" In the past, he would have been happy to search her house, but now, he didn't want to bring bad luck upon himself.
It hurts when that bastard hits you.
"Yes, you don't have to go. Just keep an eye on her and see when she comes back."
Seeing her son so cowardly, Mrs. Bai was filled with disgust. "You are such a loser! You are nothing like me. You are just like your father, that loser."
"I'm my father's son, so it's normal for me to look like him. Mom, you must be afraid yourself, otherwise why would you ask me to go." Bai Zizhong was afraid, but he was used to contradicting his mother.
"You bastard, it seems I've been too good to you. Spit out my stuff."
The mother and son had a quarrel, and Bai Zizhong was chased out of the house by his mother.
Bai Jing and others had no idea that their three families were being targeted again.
Even if I knew Bai Jing, I wouldn't be afraid, after all, she had hidden all the good things in the system space.
No matter who comes to search for i, they won’t find any trace of it.
At noon, the three families gathered at Bai Jing's house again.
"How come it's already noon and they haven't come back yet? I hope nothing has happened to them?" Aunt Bai San was very worried because she hadn't seen her husband come back.
He had been there before, but never stayed away for so long.
"Don't worry, third sister-in-law. Xiaojing is here, nothing will happen." Aunt Bai heard her sister-in-law's mumbling and immediately spoke to comfort her.
Luo Chunhua was actually worried too. That was her daughter. Although she was strong, she could not compare to the evildoers. She was just a little girl who had never been out, so how could she not be worried?
But no matter how worried she was, she couldn't say it out loud, after all, her third brother was selling meat for the family.
well.
We finished our lunch amidst everyone's worries.
It was broad daylight, so I didn't dare to make anything too good. I could only make some minced meat and stewed eggs.
This egg was not laid by the chicken at home, but a pheasant egg that I found in the mountains yesterday.
Although it is small in size, it is meaty and naturally a good thing.
They ate in silence, and no one dared to go back, for fear of missing the news of their return.
No one came back until the afternoon work announcement was made, so a few people went to the fields with their farm tools.
He talked significantly less than in the morning.
Until the end of the work day and until dark, the two men still didn't come back. This time Luo Chunhua cried out in anxiety.
"Why don't we go to meet them on the road? Maybe they are on their way back." Luo Chunhua was very worried and wanted to go out and look for them.
As soon as she said this, several adults immediately agreed.
"I think so. Let's go together."
Leaving Aunt Bai to look after the child, the three of them took torches and prepared to walk out of the village.
But they didn't notice that when they were going down the mountain, there were three figures hiding at the foot of Baida Mountain.
"Mom, where are they going?" Bai Zizhong watched for a whole day but found nothing. However, the smell of meat at home made him confused. He went back to tell his mother, but he didn't expect that his mother brought him here to feed mosquitoes after dinner.
But when he saw a group of people leaving home and going down the mountain, he asked his mother with a puzzled look on his face.
"Stop talking nonsense." Mrs. Bai was now certain that the thing was taken away by that bitch.
Otherwise, why hasn't he come back yet? He must have gone to town.
Those things in the commune cannot be sold at a good price. They can only be sold in the county or town.
If they don’t come back so late, there is only one possibility: they have left the commune.
Mrs. Bai looked at the old man and said, "It seems you guessed right. I will go to the commune tomorrow."
Humph, she would rather lose the things than give them to these cheap guys.
The old man had a gloomy face and said, "Well, go find Captain Li. He is good at this kind of thing." The old man said a name.
Mrs. Bai opened her mouth and said, "That boy is very evil. It would be fine if the plan succeeded, but I'm afraid that if it didn't succeed, that boy would come back to harm her."
But don't be afraid, at worst...
"Okay, that kid has a dark heart."
Bai Zizhong didn't understand what his parents were talking about, but now he just wanted to go back.
"Mom, it's time to go home."
Annoyed by her son's urging, Mrs. Bai slapped him twice in annoyance, "Why are you urging me? You're urging me to death, useless thing. You can't even do a small thing."
When the old man heard the old woman scolding her son, he immediately said, "Why are you scolding Zizhong for no reason? How can a young man like him endure such a punishment? Let's go home."
"You are such a kind father. If you hadn't been bad at growing the crops, he wouldn't have become like this. If he was like me, he wouldn't have suffered in this countryside." Mrs. Bai didn't like the way he protected her son.
Compared to those people, her son is like a piece of trash.
Who doesn't want their child to succeed? But her son has no ability at all.
She couldn't even arrange anything.
I’m afraid of being laughed at.
Back then, she was also the third in command.
When the old man heard the old woman's attack, he immediately shut up, saying that marrying him would be an injustice to her.
"My son is still young, so just teach him well. Let him go to work when he turns 18." The old man said in a sullen tone.
Along the way, the two old people kept whispering about their future arrangements for their son, but the person they were talking about didn't care at all.
He already knew that his parents would arrange for him to leave the village when he turned eighteen, so he was not anxious at all.
He knew from a young age that his family conditions were not bad, at least better than most families in the village.
His mother also told him since he was a child that good things should be hidden, so he hid a lot of things.
He could live happily with just the things he had, so it wasn't a big deal.
