Chapter 44: Taking Advantage of the Situation
Seeing that the girl agreed to her arrangement, the woman slowed down her tone and softened her voice as she comforted the girl.
"If that bastard Wang Liang wasn't incompetent, injured and discharged, and his family wasn't poor, I wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure to find you another officer.
But don't worry, soldiers like them are soft-hearted, honest, and stubborn, making them easy to manipulate. When he rescues you, I'll find someone to witness it. Don't say anything, just cry. I'll ask him if he was a hooligan when he rescued you, and you just keep crying. The more you feel wronged, the more you make an agreement. If you want to be an officer's wife and live a good life, do as I say, so that your two brothers and I can enjoy it too."
The girl didn't respond for a long time, so the woman lowered her voice and roared, "Zhang Shuihua, do you hear me? If you dare not agree, I will sell you to the old bachelor in the village. Anyway, you have to give me some return, otherwise how can I raise your two younger brothers?"
The girl was so scared that she quickly agreed, "Mom, please don't sell me out. I agree and I will do everything you say."
The two of them whispered a few more words and left through the path on the other side.
Wen Zhu suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at his third brother beside him. There was disbelief in both of their eyes.
It turns out that the truth behind why my second brother was blackmailed for saving someone was like this!
It turns out that the rescue mentioned briefly in the book was actually a trap designed by someone!
Judging from the girl's voice, she was timid and had no opinion of her own. It seemed that she had not been reborn yet.
Before her rebirth, she was so selfish, forcing Jiang Jianbei to face such a family for her own selfish desires, threatening his future and causing his good intentions to end up like that. After her rebirth, she learned that her second brother would lose his life during the mission. To get rid of him, she designed a scheme to discredit him and finally broke off the engagement. Everything made sense.
She wanted to cancel the engagement, but her second brother was a soldier, so she framed him for the sake of her own reputation!
This Zhang Shuihua is essentially the same as Xu Niannian, both are selfish! Now that he's been reborn, he has no moral integrity?
Jiang Jianye was about to stand up, but Wen Zhu pulled him and made him wait for a while before the two of them stood up from behind the bushes.
Jiang Jianye frowned tightly, feeling surprised and puzzled.
He may not have a high emotional quotient, but his IQ is super high, so his comprehension is no problem. After hearing the conversation between the two, and considering what my sister had said about her precognitive dream, I immediately understood who the officer they were talking about was!
"Sister, are they talking about my second brother? They want to kill him. Why are they so mean? Should I just go up and beat them up?"
Jiang Jianye's tone was filled with disbelief and anger. He didn't understand why those two women would do such a bad thing to his second brother. He felt that people were truly difficult to understand, even more difficult than those unsolved theoretical conjectures in books.
Wen Zhu quickly explained to him, "Third brother, there is no reason for bad people to do bad things, because they are selfish and greedy, but we can't just stand by and watch. We have to find the second brother quickly, and we will talk about the rest when we get back."
Jiang Jianye felt that what his sister said made sense, and he would listen to his sister when he couldn't figure something out, so he nodded vigorously.
Wen Zhu and Jiang Jianye arrived at a densely populated area, asked around, and found out the exact location of Wang Liang's house, and prepared to head there.
Wen Zhu suddenly thought of something and went back to take out the few remaining candies in his pocket and handed them to the aunt's grandson. He pretended to be a little scared and asked, "Auntie, I'm at that intersection. I heard the old man over there say that there's an old bachelor here who likes to tease girls everywhere. Although I'm with my brother, I'm still scared. Can you tell me where he lives?"
I'd better avoid it so I don't bump into it. I'm scared."
The old lady saw Wen Zhu giving candy to his grandson, who was beaming with joy as he ate it. She didn't want to say anything bad about the villagers, but since she was just a little girl and gave candy, she decided to do him a favor.
"You're talking about Wang Mazi, a scoundrel who steals and robs all day long. But don't worry, girl. His house is a little further inland. It's five or six houses away from Wang Liang's house you're looking for. Just follow that road and you'll find that dilapidated house that looks like a cowshed."
Then he pointed in the direction to Wen Zhu.
"Thank you, Auntie. I feel relieved when you say that. I'll go find my brother first. You're busy."
After Wen Zhu thanked him, he and Jiang Jianye went over there.
After walking a little further and seeing no one around, Jiang Jianye asked Wen Zhu, "Sister, why are you asking where that old bachelor lives? We're not looking for him."
Wen Zhu glanced at the third brother and said, "I'll explain it to you later. I can't tell you what I'm going to do now. If I say too much, we might get into trouble."
To sum up, the villain dies because he talks too much.
If you want to do it, just do it. Whether it succeeds or not, we'll talk about it after we're done. If you tell others about it, there's a risk of being discovered. The more people know, the greater the risk.
This is the experience Wen Zhu gained from reading novels for many years.
For example, the mother and daughter who just plotted to kill my second brother are typical examples. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to take advantage of their plan.
The two men walked forward, and before they reached Wang Liang's house, they met a man with patches all over his body, an unshaven beard, and tangled hair on the road. He was strolling around in front of people's doors and at the base of walls, holding a piece of straw in his mouth and looking shifty.
A woman with a broom chased him down from the wall he was clinging to and beat him, shouting as she beat him, "You shameless bastard Wang Mazi, what are you doing clinging to the wall of my house? Are you trying to peek at me or steal my chickens? Go away, go away, get out of my sight."
"Bah, who cares about you? Your chickens are prettier than you, bitch."
"How dare you say that? I'm going to beat you to death, you shameless bastard!" The woman continued to chase the man and beat him.
Wang Mazi was chased away with a broom. He cursed and didn't say a single word clean, but he was afraid that the woman would hit him with the broom again, so he turned around and left reluctantly.
After seeing the man leave, the woman slammed the door shut.
Wen Zhu whispered a few words in Jiang Jianye's ear, and Jiang Jianye nodded.
Wen Zhu took advantage of the fact that the people over there were fighting and scolding and not paying attention to this side. He quickly took out the slightly worn old military uniform that he had sent back to Jiang Jianbei two years ago from the bag and threw it into the grass. Then he took a few quick steps forward.
In a blink of an eye, Wang Mazi saw Wen Zhu and Jiang Jianye walking towards him.
His eyes glanced at Wen Zhu greedily and lustfully, making her feel uncomfortable, but she pretended not to notice and walked forward with her brother, saying as they walked, "Third brother, let's tie the fishing net to the river at the entrance of the village. The fish won't run away, right? They're over ten pounds, two big fish, we must not let anyone take them away. Now hurry up and get the tools to kill and wash the fish right there. We'll have enough to eat for a long time. Or we can eat one ourselves and sell the other, that would make a lot of money!"
Jiang Jianye stretched out his hand to block Wen Zhudi's mouth, "Be quiet, don't let anyone hear. Hurry and get the tools."
