Chapter 151 It’s You
"Pfft," Baoya laughed, "Second brother, this is a good trick!"
Yunhua and Yunyue also nodded repeatedly.
The four children immediately began to build a snowman again.
Soon, Yun Chenglu rolled another smaller snowball as his head.
The snowman was ready. Since the nose and eyes were already there, Yunhua and Yunyue just attached them to the snowman.
Baoya also picked up the small basin and put it on the snowman's head.
After the food was piled up, the aunt-in-law poked her head out from the back door of the new house and called them to eat.
The four children walked hand in hand through the hall of the new house and went to the east wing.
After dinner, Wang Cailian and Li Rongyue went to clean up the dishes, and He Chunxiu boiled some hot water for everyone, young and old, to wash their feet.
Baoya was playing "war" with Yunhua and Yunyue on the kang in the east wing, hugging pillows and quilts, when Zhao Zhilan smiled and waved her finger at her.
"Baoya, come with me to the toilet. It's pitch black here, so help me light the lamp."
"Hey," Baoya responded, slipped to the ground and put on her shoes.
Yunhua grabbed the small jacket she had placed on the kang and put it on her: "It's cold outside, put on some clothes before you go out."
"I understand, Third Sister!" She responded crisply, buttoned her clothes, picked up an oil lamp, and went out holding Zhao Zhilan's hand.
The old man and the child left the east wing, but did not go to the toilet. Zhao Zhilan took Baoya to the hall on the first floor of the new house.
It was a dark and windy night, and a small oil lamp flickered in the darkness.
"Grandma, aren't you going to the toilet? What are you doing here?" Baoya looked around and saw the pitch-black area and the whistling sound of the wind, which was quite creepy.
"Nothing, I just want to say a few words to you." Zhao Zhilan said.
"What exactly did you learn from your master? Tell me the truth."
After Zhao Zhilan asked this, Baoya understood that her grandmother must have seen her eating dragon beard noodles during the day.
But at that time everyone's attention was focused on those stones, so no one said anything.
"Hmm..." She thought for a moment and said, "Just learn how to cook and learn some martial arts."
"This, was also given to you by your master?" Zhao Zhilan pointed to the silver spiral bracelet on her wrist.
Baoya nodded: "It is actually a small whip, called dragon beard noodles."
"Grandma, I know what you want to tell me."
Looking at Zhao Zhilan's face, which was half visible under the light, the little girl blinked and said seriously, "I won't let anyone see it. I won't use it unless it's an emergency. Don't worry, grandma."
"That's right," Zhao Zhilan patted her head with satisfaction. "You have to learn to hide your shortcomings. We all come from the same small village. If you were to show off your talents at such a young age, who knows how much malicious jealousy and calculations you would attract."
Baoya responded: "I remember, grandma. I learned Kung Fu only to protect you and not give those people a chance."
"Well, grandma, your father, your mother, your two uncles, your aunt, and your brothers and sisters will also do their best to protect you. We protect each other and unite as one, so that our family can go a long way and live a better life."
"Grandma is right, our family will definitely be prosperous."
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps approaching.
Then, Yun Chenglu's voice rang out: "Grandma, Baoya, why are you two here just to go to the toilet?"
"Why are you here?" Zhao Zhilan rudely hit him on the back of the head. "It's dark in the middle of the night, go back!"
Yun Chenglu rubbed the back of his head and said a little aggrievedly, "It's because you two went to the toilet and didn't come back. My mother and my second and third aunts were worried, so they asked me to come out and take a look."
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were about to go back with the oil lamp in their hands when they heard a rustling sound at the back door.
The three of them stopped at the same time. Zhao Zhilan and Yun Chenglu looked at each other. They both put Baoya behind them, held their breath, and walked quickly towards the back door.
When the two of them leaned forward, they were immediately met with an ugly face with staring eyes and a wide-open mouth.
Yun Chenglu was shocked. The face was almost touching his nose, and there was a foul smell coming out of its mouth!
He subconsciously swung his arm and punched the face hard.
"Ouch!" With a scream of pain, the man fell to the ground, covering his face and wailing.
It’s you!
As soon as she heard the voice, Zhao Zhilan suddenly recognized who this person was.
It must be Zhang Xiuer’s man, Li Fugui can’t escape!
What was Li Fugui doing in her new house in the dead of night? How much did he hear when she was talking to Baoya just now?
But she didn't have time to think about it, because if she let the person escape, it would be troublesome.
Zhao Zhilan nimbly picked up a thick wooden stick left over from building a house and hit Li Fugui directly on the head with it.
"ah……"
Before Li Fugui could finish his shout, his head tilted and he passed out.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Baoya was blocked by Zhao Zhilan and Yun Chenglu behind her. She only heard two shouts and didn't know what happened.
Zhao Zhilan didn't throw away the stick in her hand. She used her other hand to pull Baoya's little hand: "It's okay, grandma and your second brother caught a thief."
Then he said to Yun Chenglu, "Go, take Baoya back to the house, and call your father and your two uncles over, and bring the hemp rope and sack."
"Hey." Yun Chenglu responded and was about to pick up Baoya and take her back.
Baoya didn't follow him: "Second brother, go by yourself. I'll stay here with grandma. She must be scared alone."
Zhao Zhilan was touched by her words and smiled, "Grandma, what are you afraid of? You're already old, you're not afraid of anything, let alone a little thief who was knocked unconscious."
But Baoya insisted on staying.
After a while, Yun Chenglu came back with Yun Dalang, Yun Erlang and Yun Sanlang.
Yun Dalang was carrying a few sacks in his hands, while Erlang and Sanlang each carried a bundle of hemp ropes.
"Mom, what's going on?" Yun Dalang asked.
"We caught a sneaky little thief. Tie him up, put him in a sack, gag him, and throw him into the woodshed." Zhao Zhilan said.
Yun Erlang was very surprised: "You came to our house to steal things? But what can there be to steal in this new house?"
Zhao Zhilan waved her hand and said, "Let's deal with this guy first, and then we can go inside and talk."
Soon, the three Yun brothers tied the man up tightly, blocked his mouth with rags, put him in a sack, and threw him into the woodshed.
The entire Yun family gathered in the east wing, which seemed a bit crowded.
Just now in the woodshed, the three brothers saw the man's face clearly with the light of the oil lamp. It turned out to be Li Fugui from the village.
Yun Dalang asked, "Li Fugui doesn't usually interact with us, so why did he suddenly come to the bridal chamber in the middle of the night? Is he really here to steal something?"
Yun Erlang recalled how Zhang Xiuer had come over to him two days ago and shamelessly asked for food: "Is he here to steal food?"
Yun Sanlang held his little girl Baoya in his arms, his brows knitted together. "Mom told us to pretend nothing happened today. Could it be that the person who put the rocks on our wall came to check on the situation in advance?"
The three brothers looked at each other, then looked at Zhao Zhilan, and all nodded affirmatively.
