"Aaaaah, Elder Fu is bullying us! There's no law! Is nobody going to do anything about this?!"
"Poor widow and her orphan, her old man died young!"
Old Mrs. Wang was very familiar with the process of wailing. First, she would curse how bad Boss Fu was, then she would wail about how old Boss Fu died young, and finally she would play the victim and act like an orphan and widow to gain sympathy.
For decades, there hasn't been a single innovation.
Not to mention Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui, even Fu Wan and Fu Ming, who were listening behind the fence, couldn't help but pick their ears and complain.
"That old lady Wang, she hasn't changed her tune in all these decades. How old is Fu Lao Er? Why is she still talking about orphans and widows?"
Fu Wan shrugged upon hearing this. These days, there are plenty of orphans and widows, but not many are like Old Lady Wang, who keeps these words on her lips all the time.
It's as if she's an orphan and a widow, and the whole world has to cater to her.
"You old hag, shut up and stop howling! If you keep making noise, I'll really get rough!"
Fu Laoda was also annoyed by her noise, so he kicked the tobacco pouch far away.
When Fu Lao Er saw his old man being kicked away, he thought about the force of the kick. If it had hit him, he would have broken his bones and been bedridden for half a month.
Thinking of this, Fu Lao Er trembled even more violently.
Even Fu Wan and Fu Ming, who were standing behind the wall, could see it.
The sharp sound immediately attracted many neighbors. Some people had already prepared their meals and simply stood at their doorways with their bowls in hand to watch the spectacle.
The Fu family's liveliness is endless, perfect for enjoying with a meal.
Seeing this, Wang Zhaodi in the kitchen was also very anxious.
Yesterday, Fu Lao Er suddenly decided to drink the last bit of rice wine left in the house, which she found strange. Unexpectedly, this morning Fu Lao Er gave her a dollar to buy meat.
The wages for carrying goods at the dock were all in small bills, but Fu Lao Er gave me a whole dollar bill yesterday.
However, Wang Zhaodi consciously ignored these unusual occurrences.
For her, having money to eat meat at home was better than anything else. Although she vaguely suspected that there was something wrong with Fu Lao Er's money, she didn't ask.
So when the eldest Fu couple came rushing over, her first reaction wasn't to go out and save the second Fu, but to think about how to hide the meat.
Surely this old lady Fu wouldn't steal her meat!
Fu Laoda and Ye Xiaocui were naturally unaware that Wang Zhaodi was still troubled by this. Ye Xiaocui had come over to guard against Wang Zhaodi, and now that Wang Zhaodi was hiding in the kitchen and not coming out, it made things easier for her.
One is enough for Grandma Wang.
"What are you doing? What do you want to do?"
Seeing that Ye Xiaocui and the others weren't afraid of her throwing a tantrum, Old Lady Wang stood up, pointed at Ye Xiaocui, and cursed, "Ye Xiaocui, you heartless wretch! I'm at least your mother-in-law!"
Ye Xiaocui was not one to be trifled with, and immediately retorted, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. My mother-in-law is still lying on the mountaintop, who do you think you are?"
These words nearly made Old Lady Wang die of anger.
His hand, pointing at Ye Xiaocui, was trembling uncontrollably.
Fu Wan couldn't help but give Ye Xiaocui a thumbs up. Goodness, her mother's record is getting more and more impressive.
"They're bullying me! They're bullying me! I don't want to live anymore! I don't want to live anymore!"
Unable to argue with Ye Xiaocui, Old Lady Wang had no other choice but to collapse to the ground and start throwing a tantrum.
Ye Xiaocui chuckled, "If you're not going to live anymore, then how are we supposed to live?"
Our family and your family have always kept to ourselves, but your family always tries to take advantage of us.
Ask your son yourself what good things he's done!
Old Mrs. Wang's eyes darted around for a long time, her cloudy eyes full of calculation.
She was scheming to exonerate her son.
Just then, a voice came from the crowd.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Village Chief Fu pushed through the crowd and hurried over. Seeing that Fu Lao Er was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he turned around and glared at Boss Fu.
"Dog Boy, I'm telling you, you're a grandfather now, why don't you consult me before doing things?"
"Fu Lao Er and Da Lai Zi did something that you don't need to come over to; I can handle it for you!"
Elder Fu would naturally give face to Village Chief Fu.
"Uncle Village Chief, I didn't do anything to him, did I?"
Village Chief Fu didn't believe it and glanced at Fu Lao Er, who was slumped on the ground.
Is nothing wrong?
Why was he sitting on the ground, trembling, even though nothing was wrong?
Seeing the doubt in Elder Fu's eyes, Elder Fu kindly explained.
"I don't know. I've only been standing here for a few minutes, and I haven't even had a chance to make a move yet."
"Besides, if I were to take action, do you think it would be as simple as him just collapsing to the ground?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. With Fu Lao Da's physique, one punch from him would probably make Fu Lao Er vomit his dinner from the night before.
"Hey, Gouwa, what exactly did Fu Lao Er do? Tell us all right now, my bowl is empty, I need to go back and get some more!"
The speaker was Fu Honghong's grandfather, a villager who lived next door to Fu Laoda's family.
Although he is called a grandfather, he is actually about the same age as Boss Fu.
Before Fu Laoda could even begin to explain, the villagers watching behind him immediately became anxious, and even the aunt next door to Fu Lao Er's house pulled Fu Wan aside.
"Ah Wan, tell your auntie what happened?"
The most frustrating thing is not being able to understand what's going on.
Fu Wan didn't intend to hide anything and immediately told them about her family's experience.
First, Boss Fu went out and discovered that there was a problem with his boat; the belts of the engine and diesel engine had been cut open with a knife.
Then someone saw Fu Lao Er and Fu Da Lai Zi appear on their boat one after the other.
Finally, Fu Da Lai Zi confessed to the fact that they had taken money to cause trouble on the ship.
If everything is explained logically and clearly, then there's nothing that you don't understand.
"Pah! You heartless bastards! Do you think you can move the belts on that ship?!"
"You're not just using belts, you're trying to kill someone!"
It was Liu Sanniang who spoke, and what she said was absolutely correct. Village Chief Fu immediately frowned.
"Fu Lao Er, you guys are in the wrong here."
"Fu Da Laizi has a criminal record, after all. What are you doing here? Gouwa is your older brother!"
The old village chief's words hit Fu Lao Er's chest like a cannonball. He immediately covered his face and finally burst into tears.
"I didn't intend to do this, but I had no other choice."
He wiped away his tears, "Our family hasn't eaten meat for a month."
The man said he'd only cut a small hole and would give me ten yuan. I had already planned to buy meat and use the rest of the money to…buy him a new belt.”
But just as they finished buying the belts, Boss Fu noticed something was wrong on the ship.
Village Chief Fu sighed, "No matter how poor or miserable you are, you can't do such a heinous thing, Fu Lao Er, you really made a mistake!"
