Chapter 107 She stayed at home, but disaster struck
Shang Ruoting didn't expect that the efficiency of work in this era is so fast.
"That's no problem. Tomorrow I'll go to the team and draw the tools we need. Then I'll have someone make them and we can start work anytime."
When Zhao Fa found that the matter had been made clear, he prepared to leave with Deputy Captain Wang.
The things Shang Ruoting brought back from the capital were originally meant for the two of them. It just so happened that they came today, so she didn't have to make another special trip.
"Please wait a moment, captains." Shang Ruoting said, and walked to the door, took out two packaged gifts and gave them to Zhao Fa and Deputy Captain Wang respectively.
"These are some specialties that Tan Chen and I brought back from the capital. Captains, please don't be disgusted by them. Take them back for your families to try."
Zhao Fa wanted to refuse. They came here to ask Shang Ruoting for something, and now they had to accept someone else's gift. It felt a bit unreasonable.
However, seeing how happy Deputy Captain Wang was, it would not be a good idea for him to retreat.
"Tan Chen, Ruoting, you two just got married and life is not easy, why are you spending this money?"
Shang Ruoting knew that Zhao Fa's words were truly for her and Tan Chen's sake, so she felt comfortable giving a gift to such a person.
"The two captains have been taking good care of us recently. We didn't buy anything expensive, just a small token of our appreciation."
Deputy Captain Wang patted Zhao Fa's shoulder and said, "Alright, stop being so hypocritical. We accept Tan Chen and Ruoting's kindness and will take better care of them in the future."
Although this was said bluntly, it was the effect Shang Ruoting wanted. She smiled at the two of them and said nothing.
Zhao Fa nodded continuously: "Tan Chen and Ruoting are both good people. Even if they don't send gifts, the team should still take care of them."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two happily left with their gifts.
Shang Ruoting guessed that after Zou Meihua returned home, the topic she talked about with her family must be related to Tan Chen.
So, she came up with an idea, which was to eavesdrop!
After thinking it over, she pretended to go to the kitchen to boil water and ran out secretly. Her target was naturally the old Tan family.
Shang Ruoting arrived at the Tan family in the dark. Their door was closed. However, this low fence was no problem for Shang Ruoting. In this era without surveillance, she could climb over the wall however she wanted.
Shang Ruoting walked around to the side of Old Tan's house. She remembered that there was a very low fence there, probably not much higher than her waist.
After finding the exact location, Shang Ruoting stepped over without much effort.
At this moment, only the lights in Zou Meihua and Tan Mingshan's rooms were still on. Through the window paper, one could vaguely see a man and a woman sitting at the table, seemingly talking about something.
Shang Ruoting tiptoed over and leaned outside the window to eavesdrop.
"In short, this matter can never be mentioned again." Tan Mingshan's tone was obviously very serious.
"Oh... I understand. I was just anxious today and said that. I guess he didn't hear anything." Zou Meihua was obviously a little impatient when she was reminded by Tan Mingshan.
After she finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Okay, I've been suffocating enough today, so stop nagging me. I'm going to the toilet and will go to bed as soon as I come back."
Watching Zou Meihua walking out, Shang Ruoting knew that she was late today and did not hear the key things.
However, since she's here, she can't come for nothing.
Didn’t Zou Meihua push Old Lady Shang?
I'll give it back to you today...
Zou Meihua never imagined that while she was staying at home, disaster would come from the sky.
As she reached the toilet door, her head was suddenly covered by a sack.
“Ahhhhhhh… there’s a thief… help…”
Shang Ruoting had already calculated the time and ensured that a series of plans were completed before the arrival of the people. Regardless of whether Zou Meihua screamed or howled, she took out the rolling pin in the space and hit her hard.
She was also very measured in her attacks, only hitting Zou Meihua's body and not her head. If she had hit her head, it would have been easy to kill her in the dark, but hitting her body would have been fine, and even if she hadn't aimed accurately, she wouldn't have been able to kill her.
The fight was almost over when Shang Ruoting heard the door of the Tan family open. She grabbed Zou Meihua and threw her directly into the cesspool. Then she pulled off the sack covering her head, quickly hid behind the pile of firewood, and slipped into the space.
When Tan Mingshan and Tan Kai rushed over after hearing the noise, they saw Zou Meihua struggling in the toilet while shouting.
The two men endured the pungent stench and went forward to pull the person out.
"Mom, why don't you bring an oil lamp when you go to the toilet?" There was a hint of disgust in Tan Kai's tone.
Tan Mingshan wasn't much better: "That's right, you should be more careful!"
After hearing what the two said, Zou Meihua was furious and yelled, "I was beaten with a sack over my head and then pushed down. Why don't you go find the murderer?"
She shouted with all her might, attracting the neighbors around, and everyone looked over the fence.
When Tan Kai and Tan Mingshan heard that she was pushed into the pit, they immediately looked for the perpetrator.
Zou Meihua sat on the ground and did not forget to give instructions: "Look carefully, that person will definitely not get far away."
Although the neighbors around don't like Zou Meihua, they still want to help when such a big thing happens.
They jumped over the fence to help search.
