Climbing over a courtyard wall was effortless for a nimble adult man like Zhao Dayong.
He jumped down from the courtyard wall and went straight into the inner room.
There were no lights on inside, but by the moonlight, one could still see the village head sleeping on the bed with his back to the door. Madam Tian was very clean; the bed was spotless, and the village head was covered with a freshly turned cotton quilt.
Zhao Dayong tiptoed and pushed open the door. The door creaked open, but the person on the bed did not react and was obviously fast asleep.
Zhao Dayong couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. Tonight was truly a perfect night, with everything going smoothly.
He boldly pushed open the door and went inside.
After entering the room, Zhao Dayong went straight to the cabinet that Shen Yuan had mentioned. He gently opened the cabinet door, and sure enough, there was a small wooden box on the bottom shelf.
Zhao Dayong opened the wooden box. The top layer of loose silver gleamed in the moonlight. He shook the box; it was heavy. That brat was right after all; there really were three to five hundred taels of silver in this box!
He's made it big! He's rich! He's really struck it rich!
With this money, he can buy a house, land, and get married! With money, what kind of wife can't he have? Then he can have a whole bunch of kids, and he'll be the most successful person in the Zhao family!
Zhao Dayong was overjoyed. He carefully stuffed the wooden box into his arms and was about to turn around when a furious shout suddenly rang out behind him.
"Zhao, Dayong!"
Zhao Dayong was startled by the sudden sound.
He turned his head and realized that the person who had been lying on the bed had somehow raised his head and was glaring at him angrily.
"You...you're awake?!" Zhao Dayong's voice stammered involuntarily. He hadn't expected the village head to wake up so quickly, and he was so flustered that he didn't know what to do.
The village head hadn't actually slept at all. First, he suffered a stroke that left half of his body numb, and then he was burned by a fire and developed asthma. He could only lie in bed day after day, eating, drinking, and relieving himself in bed. He couldn't do anything except sleep.
But the more he did this, the less he could sleep, and the less he wanted to sleep.
When Tian was in the room, he could still use his mouth to scold and torment her to pass the time. When Tian left, he could only lie on the bed in a daze, staring at the bed curtains to get through one hour after another.
He had actually heard the noise outside the door a long time ago, but he was curious about who would come to his house in the middle of the night and what they wanted to do, so he kept quiet.
Although he was ill, he was not so old that his eyesight was failing. In addition, the other party was an acquaintance, so he recognized the other party as Zhao Dayong just from his back!
This Zhao Dayong actually dared to sneak into his house and steal things!
When he died?
The village head wanted nothing more than to get out of bed and slap Zhao Da twice, but he was covered in burns and his new skin hadn't fully grown back yet. Even the slightest movement made him want to curse.
The village head dared not move, and could only glare fiercely at Zhao Dayong, cursing in a muffled voice, "Put back what you stole, or you'll regret it!"
Zhao Dayong was initially a little flustered when he saw that the village head had woken up, but when he saw that the village head didn't even dare to move, Zhao Dayong was no longer afraid at all.
The once-glorious village head of Chujia Village is now nothing more than a sickly man who can't even get out of bed. He can no longer swagger around in front of him!
Zhao Dayong walked to the bedside, deliberately brought his face close to the inside of the bed, and then patted his own face with a grin. "Come on! Want me to look good? Your grandpa is already good-looking, what more do you want from me!"
You bastard!
Enraged, the village head raised his hand and slapped Zhao Dayong across the face.
But Zhao Dayong easily dodged it.
"You still want to hit me? Hahaha, can you even hit me? You can't, can you! Hahahaha!"
"You... cough cough cough!"
The village head was furious, and his breathing became difficult. He remembered the doctor's advice that he shouldn't get angry or overjoyed because he had asthma, so he took a deep breath, trying to ease his chest tightness.
But Zhao Dayong was so brazenly swaggering around in front of him, how could he possibly swallow this insult?
He couldn't stand it!
He couldn't control his emotions; his chest heaved more and more, and he felt a lump in his throat, making it hard to breathe.
It felt like someone was choking him, and the suffocating sensation spread through his brain. The village head's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red.
Help...help...someone save him!
He tried to call for help, but couldn't make a sound.
The room was dark, so Zhao Dayong couldn't see the village head's face, only that he was lying on the bed trembling and convulsing.
She must have been furious with him!
Tonight, he had planned to steal the silver without anyone noticing, but the village headman saw his face, ruining his plans. Zhao Dayong wasn't thinking of leaving anytime soon.
If he wants to stay in the village, he has to get rid of the village head!
We can't let him tell anyone about tonight's events!
Thinking of this, Zhao Dayong's gaze towards the village head instantly turned cold. He pondered for a moment, then took out a tinderbox, lit the kerosene lamp in the room, and carried the lamp stand toward the village head.
As long as he pours this kerosene down the village head's throat, burning his throat and tongue, the village head will be unable to say anything!
Only in this way could the village head not report him, and he could continue to stay in the village.
Zhao Dayong didn't think about it anymore. He walked to the bedside and reached out to grab the village head's throat. He thought the village head would struggle, but he didn't expect him to not move.
