Chapter 200 Night Raid

I wanted to walk over and take them all to the oxcart.

But he was grabbed by his granddaughter.

"Grandma, there's nothing in there. I just checked it. Let's go. I want to go home."

Of course Jiang Fubao couldn't let grandma take the jar away.

It would have been better if the Wan couple hadn’t come today.

If you come.

This was her great gift to the couple.

She laughed a few times.

Zhang Jinlan thought her granddaughter was sleepy and had a fit.

"Okay, let's go back then."

She closed the kitchen door and turned to leave the yard.

When she signed the contract, Wan gave her two iron locks, each with a key.

Used to lock the front and back doors.

The front door was bolted from the inside.

Zhang Jinlan simply used the extra iron locks on the back door.

Two keys, put them in your pocket.

The Jiang family got on the ox cart and went home.

Niu Niu is a little tired today.

It has slowed down a lot.

Jiang Fubao was afraid that the cow would be tired, so he turned off the shield and prepared to listen to its voice. If it cried out for thirst, he would ask his uncle to give the cow some water.

However, after listening to just one sentence, she blocked it again.

[How come these stinky humans get so fat in just one day? They only eat and don't poop. They are so tired. This little girl is the fattest. She must be weighed down by her. She looks like a piglet. Moo, so heavy.]

There was only one girl in the car.

That's her.

Jiang Fubao!

"Huh! Grandma, am I really fat?"

Jiang Fubao pouted, crossed his arms over his chest, and said angrily.

"Not fat, my good granddaughter, who dares to say you are fat? I'll beat him to death! Our Fubao is obviously very thin, look at your little face, there is almost no flesh. Grandma will make you delicious food tonight, you have to eat well."

There is a kind of thinness, which is called grandma thinks you are thin.

Jiang Fubao, however, was addicted to it.

She put Chou Niuniu's words behind her.

The sun was half set and the evening breeze brushed across my cheeks, not feeling as hot as it had been at noon.

She felt the wind, hummed a little tune, and admired the scenery beside the fields.

Getting closer to home.

Zhou Gaier, who got lost in the town, almost fainted from hunger.

The son in her arms burst into tears.

But there was not a penny in his pocket.

I asked dozens of people one after another.

Just when she was exhausted, she finally found Jiang Lingu in a dilapidated low house.

"Why are you here?"

The two looked at each other, one was shocked and the other dodged.

Jiang Lingu's face was full of gloom.

The stubble on his chin looked like it hadn't been trimmed for several days.

Now it's all black and blue.

The moment I met Zhou Gaier.

He walked quickly forward, took his son in his arms and coaxed him.

"Daddy, I'm hungry."

Jiang Muyao, who was only two years old, cried until he had the hiccups.

Jiang Lingu felt distressed.

"Didn't you feed our son? How come he is so hungry? Also, why are you here? Didn't you say you would wait for me to pick you up?"

He sounded very irritable. He was already worried about finding a job and had hardly slept in the past two days.

As a result, I asked more than a dozen shops, but none of them recruited cashiers.

Just when we were about to have no place to live, our wife and children came again.

Jiang Lingu was so annoyed that he wanted to scratch his head.

"I really can't do farm work, it's too tiring. I'm already weak because of giving birth to Yao'er. You know, mom always pushes all the work onto me. I can't stand it, so I ran out with Yao'er to find you. I heard that the shopkeeper chased you away? Why? Why did he chase you away for no reason?"

Zhou Gaier asked hurriedly, but Jiang Lingu did not answer immediately.

His eyes were somewhat evasive.

Living alone in the town, I feel extremely lonely at night.

Some time ago, he was hooked up with a widow.

The widow is good at serving people.

It made him feel like he was in ecstasy.

Of course, the widow did not serve for nothing.

Most of the money he had left was taken away by the widow.

Therefore, he came up with the idea of ​​opening a shop.

Unfortunately, he had bad luck.

The first time he stole money and made false accounts, he was discovered by the shopkeeper, who, considering that he had been doing this for many years,

That’s why I didn’t report it to the police.

The shopkeeper promised him not to tell anyone about this.

Jiang Lingu made up a reason and sent Zhou Gaier away.

evening.

The family of three lived in a house that was not even as big as a pigsty. Jiang Lingu took out the only ten copper coins he had left and put them in Zhou Gaier's hand.

Ask her to buy some coarse-grain steamed buns.

No matter how poor you are, you can't go to bed with an empty stomach.

The two adults and one child finished their steamed buns with the river water.

Jiang Muyao, who was only two years old, was so sleepy that his eyelids were drooping. He didn't even take a shower, but just lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

"Let's go back to the village tomorrow. We have no money and we can't live in the house any more. We really have nowhere to go. I've been looking for a job for a few days, but no one wants to hire me. Forget it. The situation is not good now. Let's go back and farm first and come out later."

His words made Zhou Gaier's heart seem to fall to the bottom.

"Go back? I finally got out, and you want me to go back? Don't you know your mother? If I go back, will she give me a good life? No, I will never go back. Don't worry, I can find a job for you. Jiang Fubao's family in our village, you know, they opened a snack shop in the town.

I passed by today and saw that their business was pretty good. You can come with me tomorrow. You are educated and they can't read, so they definitely can't read the account book. You can work as the bookkeeper in their shop. I see they come back every day, so there should be no one living in the backyard of the shop. We can live there and maybe even get free food and drinks."

Zhou Gaier had already forgotten how her second daughter bullied Jiang Fubao.

Of course.

Jiang Lingu, who has been in the town for many years, knew nothing about this.

He took it seriously.

"Okay, let's go early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, we won't have any breakfast. I really don't have any money left."

Jiang Lingu was still thinking about having a free meal.

Little did he know that he would suffer tomorrow.

Outside the house.

The sunset glow in the sky spread out from overhead.

A black cloth with stars and moons painted on it was draped over.

The once bustling street became unusually quiet.

Besides the night watchmen who were on patrol at night, they were beating gongs and shouting: "It's dry, be careful with candles, put them out before going to bed to prevent fire."

There were hardly any people.

Three figures in dark clothes sneaked into the alley and came to the backyard of Jiang's snack shop.

"Dad, the back door is locked. I'll climb up first. You guys just wait outside."

Bai Jizu took down the two iron locks on the door, found a stone, placed it on the wall, and prepared to climb up.

"No, Dad has the key."

But he was pulled down by his own father.

"Ah? Dad, when did you get the key? You are really amazing." Bai Jizu laughed crazily, looking like a ghost under the moonlight.

"There are four keys. Your mother and I lied and said we only had two, just in case. Now that we are here, we have to enter openly."

Bai Qianshan took out the key and unlocked the doors one by one.

Followed by two "click" sounds.

The wooden door to the backyard opened so easily.
