Chapter 087 Chapter 87 Firecrackers Explode the Toilet

The north wind was howling. The coldest day of the year was the month before the New Year. When Lin Yue moved to her new home, she wanted to buy a stove, but she didn't buy one because she was in a hurry. She put a few pieces of firewood into the stove by the door and called the two kids into the house.

It snowed heavily yesterday, and thick snow piles were piled up on both sides of the yard. The two little guys were dressed in thick clothes, like two round balls. Because it was too cold, Lin Yue didn't let them go out to play, so they ran to the yard and poked small holes in the snow piles with wooden sticks. They were quite addicted to playing.

As the year draws to a close, the sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time. In the past few years, the harvest was not good, so everyone had to hide the New Year's goods they bought, fearing that the little rascals at home would eat them up in advance. Although there was a disaster this year, because of the relief food, the family was not so tight, so some brave children secretly took apart the firecrackers at home and took them outside to set them off.

Wanli and Lingling just celebrated their birthdays this month. After all, they are three years old now. They are lively and active and eager to play with older kids. When they heard the sound of firecrackers outside, they tilted their ears to listen carefully and were about to run out without caring about anything.

Lin Yue was afraid that they would really run outside, so he chased after them and held their hands and led them back into the house.

Just after taking two steps, they heard three dull "bang" sounds from behind, which scared the mother and her two children and made them turn their heads back. The sound was too close, and it was so loud that it was not an ordinary firecracker. Lin Yue had a bad feeling, and told the two little ones to stay at home and not go out, and hurried to the front door to check the situation.

Outside the wall of Lin Yue's house, the toilet with the manure pool was originally chained up, but now the door had been opened at some point, and a group of naughty kids were poking their heads in excitedly. Lin Yue took a quick look and found the three children from Zhang Zhixi's family and Zhang Shouyu's youngest son Baoer.

When a group of naughty kids saw Lin Yue, they turned and ran away in fear. Lin Yue couldn't catch so many people by himself, so he only caught Da Mao and Er Mao, the two oldest ones. These two kids were also the most naughty in the village. They were caught by Lin Yue, but they were still not obedient. They struggled hard and shouted, "Let me go, what right do you have to catch us? Let me go, I want to tell my parents!"

Lin Yue didn't care what they shouted, he grabbed the back of their collars and walked them to the toilet. Da Mao and Er Mao struggled even harder, one of them fell to the ground with his stomach exposed.

Lin Yue kicked open the toilet door and looked inside. The cement cover on the septic tank had been removed by someone, leaving a long gap. There were leftover matches and a ceramic jar scattered around, and a corner of the cement cover was also damaged by the explosion.

She understood what was going on immediately, and took a firecracker out of Damao's hand, sneering, "Well, you guys have had enough of firecrackers, right? You're still using clay pots to hold them. Aren't you afraid of danger?"

Da Mao snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "You are not my mother, why should I care? You coward!"

Lin Yue was so angry that he laughed, "I don't want to care, but you blew up my toilet. Okay, I won't look at it here, follow me inside and take a look." After saying that, he dragged the two Mao into the yard and went straight to the toilet.

Little Wanli and Xiao Lingling were lying on the gate looking out, and saw their mother catching the two Mao brothers from next door and coming in aggressively, so they quickly ran into the gate.

There was no window in the toilet, so Lin Yue placed the flashlight nearby. She blocked the road, held Da Mao tightly with one hand, and turned on the flashlight with the other. She shone it into the toilet and saw that the cement walls and the floor were splashed with dirt and even a few pieces of ceramic fragments. Fortunately, it was winter and the manure pool had frozen, but the power of the firecrackers was too great, especially since there was a ceramic pot on the outside, and the ice could not stop its power.

Lin Yue crossed his arms and sneered, "Tell me, who came up with the idea and set off the firecrackers? You made me into this state, what do you want to do now?"

The two kids wanted to make trouble, but Da Mao started to howl with a loud cry of "Dad, Mom, Grandma," and he was the first to howl, "Dad, Mom, Er Mao and I have been kidnapped, please come and save us!"

Ermao started howling at the top of her lungs when she heard this. The term "kidnapped" was a new word these kids had learned after Lin Yue was kidnapped by Zhou Quanan. She felt tired and said fiercely, "Shut up!"

The two children were frightened and shuddered, shrinking their necks and not daring to make a noise. But before they could stay quiet for a while, an anxious voice came from outside the door. Wang Mei'e stood at the door and shouted anxiously: "Wanli's mother, are my Da Mao and Er Mao in there? Hey, why did you arrest my two children? You are an adult, why do you bully children?"

Da Mao and Er Mao seemed to have seen a savior, and shouted aggrievedly: "Grandma!" While Lin Yue was distracted, they ran out from under her arms.

Lin Yue looked back and saw Sanmao hiding behind his grandmother, pulling her clothes and looking over here secretly.

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Auntie, you came at the right time. Some naughty kids set off firecrackers and blew up my toilet. No one can get in. What do you think we should do?"

Sanmao was still young. Although he knew he had to go home to ask for help, he was not very good at keeping a secret. Wang Mei'e actually knew the general situation. She thought the two children had admitted it, so she apologized immediately: "Oh, I'm so sorry! You see, the children are still young and naive. They will definitely not do it again next time. Please forgive them!"

They were all neighbors, so it wasn't a big deal. Lin Yue just wanted to scare the kids so that they wouldn't get bold enough to hurt themselves and then blame her. Lin Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I won't bother with them. Just let them help me clean the toilet."

When Sanmao heard this, he was unwilling to do it. He pulled Wang Mei'e and shouted, "Grandma, we don't want to do it!"

Wang Mei'e said "OK, OK, OK" and patted the children hurriedly. She turned to Lin Yue and said with a smile: "Ah, Wanli Niang, the children are still so young, they are just a little naughty. As adults, we should not quibble with children. How can two children clean the toilet? Forget it."

Lin Yue was so angry that he laughed, "Alright, then it's the same if you adults come to clean up."

Wang Mei'e's face fell all of a sudden. The noise just now was so loud that she subconsciously believed that Lin Yue's toilet must have been destroyed so badly that no one could enter, so she was even more reluctant to clean it up for her.

Her attitude immediately changed, and she said unceremoniously: "Wanli's mother, it's just a small matter, why do you have to be so persistent! Let me tell you, the toilet is for shitting, why do you make it so clean? The child is so young, and he made such a small mistake, and you are still being persistent, what kind of person is that!"

Zhang Linghan and his brother had been listening for a long time. At this time, he tugged at Lin Yue's clothes and asked, "Mom, can't you throw the firecrackers into our toilet?" Seeing Lin Yue nodded, he hurriedly said loudly, "Mom, I want to buy some firecrackers too! I want to throw them into his toilet!" He pointed to Wang Mei'e's house.

Wang Mei'e was startled and hurriedly waved her hands to stop him: "No, no, you can't do this! Wan Li Niang, you have to take good care of these two children, you can't do such a thing!"

Ling Ling has been getting more and more eloquent lately: "Grandma Wang, my family can't throw away the children, but yours can. I'm also a child, and you won't get angry if I do something wrong! Grandma, your family is so nice!"

Wang Mei'e's face turned green when she heard this, and Lin Yue had a hard time holding back his laughter. He took the opportunity to say, "You better come to my house and clean it up, otherwise I will buy firecrackers for these two children every day when I am in a bad mood! They are younger and even more ignorant than your grandson! But don't worry, if they do something wrong, I will take them to your house to apologize, and your family will definitely forgive them, right?"

Wang Mei'e knew there was no point in talking any further and was so angry that she hit each of the three Maos hard and led them out.

When she reached the door, she saw her eldest son holding a bowl in his hand, walking home in a carefree manner. Someone on the road asked him, "Shougen, it's so cold, where have you been holding a bowl?"

Zhang Shougen chuckled and said, "The supply and marketing cooperative in Donglinjia Village just changed its salesperson. I went to take a look!"

When the bystanders heard him, they understood what he was doing and joked: "You are taking advantage of the new salesperson because he is shy, right? Let me see how much oil is left in the bowl. You must have been scolded by the salesperson, right?"

Zhang Shougen often went to the supply and marketing cooperative to pretend to get oil. When they poured some into his bowl, he said he didn't want it anymore and poured it back. There would always be some oil left at the bottom of the bowl, enough to cook a meal when he took it home. All the supply and marketing cooperatives in the nearby brigades knew him.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Mei'e would be very happy to take advantage of others. But she had just been offended by Lin Yue, and when she heard others teasing Zhang Shougen, she felt suffocated and scolded him angrily, "You just idle away all day and never do anything serious. You are so excited to do something like this, and you still have the time to run so far!"

As he said this, he snatched the bowl from his hand and said, "Since you have nothing to do, go and clean her toilet. Your two sons have done a good deed, and as their father, you should clean up the mess for them!" As he said this, he nodded towards Lin Yue's house and took his three sons back home.

Soon, the door of his house slammed shut with a bang. Zhang Shougen was confused by the scolding and turned to look at Lin Yue.

Lin Yue led him to her toilet, pointed at the dirt on the wall and the ground and told him everything. Zhang Shougen really wanted to cheat, so Lin Yue sneered, "Your children blew up my toilet. If an apology is enough, then can my two children blow up your toilet as well?" She pointed to the east wall of her house and continued, "Oh, by the way, your toilet is right there, and it doesn't have a roof. We can see it with a ladder, it's very convenient!"

Zhang Shougen's face turned green. He wasn't afraid that Lin Yue would really blow up his toilet, but he was afraid that his mother would beat him up! He had no choice but to start cleaning up Lin Yue's toilet. He wanted to use Lin Yue's tools, but Lin Yue refused. She went to the next door to get a basin, rag and broom, so that Zhang Shougen could clean up with peace of mind.

The toilet was too smelly, so Lin Yue led the two kids out. Little Lingling hadn't forgotten about the firecrackers, so she pulled Lin Yue and asked, "Mom, when will you buy me some firecrackers?" Little Wanli, with a pair of big eyes, was looking at her expectantly.

Lin Yue was stunned, she thought this child was really so smart and had learned to cooperate with her without any instruction, but it turned out that what he said came from his heart!

She quickly said, "You two are still too young to play with firecrackers! Wait until you are older to play with them!"

Xiao Lingling pouted and said unhappily, "Then can I still blow up his toilet?"

Lin Yue: "No, this is wrong!"

"But I can apologize, right?"

Lin Yue felt exhausted. What kind of logic do some parents have? It's really bad for their children. She squatted down and explained the reason to them. Seeing that the two kids seemed to understand but not quite, she emphasized again and again that these things should not be done until they nodded in agreement.

It was not difficult to clean the mess in the toilet. Zhang Shougen was a nasty person, so he finished it quickly. When he returned, he heard the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling next door. It was obvious that several children were beaten badly. Lin Yue smiled. Isn't he quite good at educating children? She thought their children were so precious that she couldn't even say a word!
