Chapter 213: The Eve of Trouble



The days are changing so fast. It was warm yesterday, but it is cold today. Any rain can make the temperature drop by several degrees. It is true that every autumn rain brings a chill.

Others would put on more clothes when they were cold, but Xiao Cai couldn't do that. He was in the sewer and cried out to the sky and the earth but no one answered him. His teeth were chattering with cold. Fortunately, the rain did have some benefits. He found the lid of the gourd along the leaking place and finally pushed it open and escaped.

He staggered out and looked around. He felt a little unfamiliar for a moment. It was already late at night and there was no one on the street. The fine rain was accompanied by a little hail, which seemed like snowflakes falling on his body. He felt that he was staggering.

He had been trapped for more than a day and a night. He was really unlucky. If he didn't get out, he would have passed out from hunger in a little while. Fortunately, a rain helped him escape. He couldn't even stand steadily and crawled tremblingly. Where was this place?

He looked around and found that this place was not far from Xinghuali. Although this place was unfamiliar, he could vaguely see the big sign of the machinery factory. He forced himself to stand up, but before he could walk, he saw a few people with shifty eyes trying to climb the wall.

Xiao Cai was so scared that he fell to the ground with a thud. A few guys heard the noise and turned around. Xiao Cai was so scared that he wanted to run away. However, before he ran away, these guys started screaming: "There is a ghost!!!"

Yes, anyone who encountered this kind of thing in the middle of the night would be scared to death. Everyone screamed and ran away quickly.

Xiao Cai stretched out his hand: "No..."

But no one paid any attention to him at this time. Everyone fled in all directions. At this time, several security guards from the machinery factory came out and shouted, "Little bastards, what are you doing?"

Xiao Cai lay on the ground and dared not move. Fortunately, there was no light at night, so he pretended to be dead. While these people were chasing those boys, he burst out with great potential, stood up quickly, and started to run away! "Oh my god, there is another one over here."

"Chase, chase quickly!"

Xiao Cai fled quickly. It was also his good luck that those boys bought him time and he left them far behind. Although he ran around everywhere in a panic, he was lucky and he quickly found a place to hide and finally escaped from the security department.

These days, the Security Department and the Public Security Department are almost the same, and they are very clear about arresting people.

Xiao Cai had dodged the attack, but he was exhausted and had no strength left. The rain fell on his body and he felt the cold rain hitting his face. He was so miserable.

Although he had no strength left, he knew that he could not just stay here at this time. In this weather, he might freeze to death if he stayed here overnight. Besides, he was very hungry and his appetite was burning.

He felt that he could bear the pain and cold, but he couldn't bear the hunger. He hadn't eaten for several meals. He looked up at the sky and shed tears silently: "Oh God, why do you do this to me, why!"

He felt that this was the most painful thing in the world.

He wanted to get up, but he had no strength.

"A girl of eighteen is as beautiful as a flower..."

Xiao Cai tried hard to get up, but at this moment he heard someone singing a little tune. Xiao Cai immediately shrank back and dared not move. The man hummed the little tune and walked back swayingly. Xiao Cai did not dare to make a sound at all and held his breath for fear of being discovered. It was really difficult for him.

God always plays tricks on him like this, he... "Ah!"

He screamed in delight: "Fan Debiao."

Fan De Biao was walking back from an old widow with a half-opened door. He was in a good mood when he suddenly saw a man rushing out and rushing towards him, screaming, "Fan De Biao!"

Fan Debiao: “Fuck!”

He kicked him and saw Xiao Cai fell to the ground with a thud.

He lay on the ground, crying and shouting, "Fan Debiao, it's me, I'm Xiao Cai."

Fan Debiao felt cold all over and felt like he had seen a ghost. However, ghosts shouldn't be so weak, right?

He stared at the man and saw Xiao Cai trembling and crying: "Why did you kick me? Wuuwuwu, it's me!"

Fan Debiao quickly took out his flashlight and shone it over. He saw that the person in front of him was pitch black, as if he had just crawled out of a muddy pond. He suddenly thought of the rumors that the thief had told when he escaped.

I thought to myself, it turns out it was him.

He stuttered: "Why are you here?"

It's not surprising that Fan Debiao's stuttering was cured from that day on, probably because he had hit Zheng Yufeng to death. He could speak normally on weekdays, but he would still fail at critical moments.

He said, "You, you, you just crawled out of the sewer?"

Xiao Cai nodded vigorously and said, "Brother, I feel so miserable!"

Looking at Xiao Cai's miserable appearance, Fan Debiao felt that he had lived in much better condition than this guy when he was in prison.

He calmed down and said, "Now that you are out, go home quickly. What are you doing?"

Xiao Cai was aggrieved and asked for help: "Can you take me home? I have no strength left."

If he were to go home by himself, he would not be able to crawl back. He begged bitterly: "As long as you help me, I will give you a little more when we divide the profits later."

He sobbed, "I am so miserable."

Seeing him like this, Fan Debiao's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself: If they really work together, he has no intention of sharing with this old guy after success, and robbing robbing robbing is a must. He, Fan Debiao, has always eaten alone.

Anyone else want to share the food?

Forget it.

But now I still have to put on a friendly look, um, to confuse this old guy.

He held back his nausea and stepped forward, saying, "Look at you, we are family and we don't have to talk about different things. In fact, if I hadn't met you today, I would have planned to look for you. I have decided to agree to you. From now on, we are all family."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Cai was immediately excited: "You decided to work with me? That's great, I know you know how to adapt to the times. A man who knows how to adapt to the times is a hero. Let's make a fortune together, brothers."

"good."

Fan Debiao felt extremely sick, but he still managed to step forward and hold him, saying, "Brother, I'll take you home."

Xiao Cai was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "Okay. But..."

He asked eagerly, "Do you have anything to eat?"

Fan Debiao's face changed, and he immediately said, "It's late at night, how could I have food in my pocket? Come on, I'll take you home quickly."

He spent the last bit of his family's savings today. He himself didn't even have dinner.

You can go a day without food, but you can't go a day without your girlfriend.

If I send Xiao Cai home, I can get a free meal. He endured the stench and helped, which was indispensable. Thinking of this, he had some calculations in his mind. He said, "Let's go, let's go faster. This way you won't get colder, the weather is really bad today."

"Thank you, Brother Fan."

"Well, we are all brothers, why do we have to calculate these things?"

He endured the stench and helped Xiao Cai up, but this guy really didn't use any strength at all, leaning on Fan Debiao's body, heavy. The stench was really overwhelming. Fan Debiao retched several times, and then looked at Xiao Cai, cursing him in his heart, how could there be such a shameless thing, he took himself seriously.

In fact, Fan Debiao misunderstood Xiao Cai. Xiao Cai did not intend to rely entirely on Fan Debiao. However, he really had no strength left, and he felt uncomfortable even leaning on Fan Debiao.

He simply said, "Brother Fan, why don't you carry me back?"

Fan Debiao's eyes suddenly widened, what the hell? Do you still have any shame? Why should I carry you on my back? Who do you think you are? In short, Fan Debiao's anger was rising.

I just think this guy is so thick-skinned and shameless.

He was very annoyed, but he smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to carry you, it's mainly because I don't have much strength."

He added: "Besides, it's raining. If I carry you on my back, you won't be comfortable. I'm wearing a raincoat, so you'll definitely get soaked."

Xiao Cai took a look and said, "It's okay, I don't dislike you."

Fan Debiao: "..." You don't dislike me, do you think I dislike you? He disliked her in his heart, but he didn't say it directly. Instead, he smiled even more: "My legs are weak, if I fall while carrying you..."

Even after he said that, Xiao Cai still didn't notice. He had been well off growing up, but had had a very difficult time in the past ten years. However, his personality hadn't changed. He simply couldn't hear what others were saying, and said directly, "It's okay. If you fall on me, I will explain to my parents and won't embarrass you."

Fan Debiao opened his eyes wide: Grass (a kind of plant), you still want to embarrass me? He looked at the man in front of him and doubted whether it would be good for him to be with him. He really had no vision and no sense, and it looked like he was useless. This was clearly not going to work! He was so angry that Xiao Cai was still talking: "I am getting more and more dizzy, and I have no strength left. I'm going to trouble Brother Fan..."

After saying this, he looked like he was about to faint. I don’t know if it was because of hunger or cold.

Fan Debiao cursed in his heart, but seeing that the guy was about to die, he finally had no choice but to say, "I'll carry you."

He will definitely rob his fellow criminals, he will, and this family will never get any benefit from him.

He angrily carried the man on his back. Carrying this guy on his back, he felt the smell was even worse.

In fact, it was also thanks to the rain today. If it hadn't rained, Fan Debiao wouldn't have been able to walk a few steps with Xiao Cai on his back. It would be a great achievement if he didn't faint from the fumes. Even so, Fan Debiao suffered a lot. And he wasn't talking nonsense when he said this, he really had no strength left.

When he went to a place like that, he naturally wanted to have a good time, otherwise how could he be willing to spend money?

This must be a way to get back his money. He has been here several times and now his legs and feet are really weak. He was also scolding himself. Wouldn't it be better to pay an extra fifty cents to stay? Why did he go back just to save fifty cents? If he didn't go back, he wouldn't have encountered such a thing.

He hated himself a lot, thinking that he should not have saved fifty cents. But he also knew that he was really penniless, otherwise he would not have gone out on a rainy day and saved the fifty cents for the night.

He walked very slowly with Xiao Cai on his back, and almost fell several times. When he reached the corridor where Cai's family lived, his legs and feet were weak. He forced himself to go upstairs and finally stopped at the door of Cai's family. When he knocked on the door, he felt that he was almost out of breath.

Knock knock.

Boom boom boom.

Boom boom boom!

After knocking on the door repeatedly, no one came out to answer, and Fan Debiao became really angry.

He knocked on the door angrily and said, "Uncle Cai, Aunt Cai, open the door, Uncle Cai...!!!!"

His voice was so loud that it woke up everyone upstairs and downstairs. The people in the house hadn't come out to open the door yet. Fan Debiao was so angry that he shouted, "Open the door, open the door!"

He had already started banging on the door.

"What are you doing? Can't you let me sleep and watch?"

"Who is seeking death so late at night?"

"Damn it, why is the stench coming out again? Wasn't it much more gone this evening?"

"Smelly, wuwuwu, stinky, baby, don't stinky..."

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and came out, saying, "Hey, what are you doing at this hour of night? Can't you let me sleep?"

Fan Debiao was also holding back his anger at this time, and he yelled, "If you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep. Why are you so bothered? You're talking so much nonsense. Did I knock on your door?"

He was very angry, and the people who were woken up were also very angry. Everyone started arguing in an instant. Fan Debiao argued with the crowd and showed no weakness. This was not the time when he stuttered. When he stuttered, he could not win an argument with others, but it was different now.

He argued heartily, and felt that he was very eloquent.

Seeing that they were getting more and more angry and about to fight, the door finally opened and Jiang Baohong came out with a bald head and a bruised face, shouting: "Will you let me rest?"

Fan Debiao was also furious: "Why didn't you open the door when someone was home? Do you have donkey hair in your ears? Damn, do you know how much suffering I went through on the way to send him back? Do you think it's easy for me? I'm so unlucky that I have to get into trouble even though I'm a good person."

It was at this time that everyone discovered the clay figurine Xiao Cai.

It's really outrageous. I don't know what these two are doing outside. Why do they both come back like this? Yesterday, Old Cai did this, and today, Little Cai did the same thing again.

Everyone started to get angry: "Jiang Baohong, what's wrong with your family? They're never going to stop being so disgusting, right? This happened once, twice. Are you doing this on purpose? You really want us to be easy to talk to? We didn't care about yesterday's incident, but you're doing it again today?"

Jiang Baohong did not respond, but cried out, "Son, my son, why are you like this? Who bullied you? You, is it you?"

She grabbed Fan Debiao.

Fan Debiao: "Fuck, grandma's ball."

He finally couldn't help it and slapped Jiang Baohong in the face: "I sent him back out of kindness, Xiao Cai. Say something to me! Stop playing dead."

"You dare to hit me! I won't live anymore, I won't live anymore!" Jiang Baohong sat down on the ground and started crying.

But this time, he accidentally sat on someone's head.

Xiao Cai was barely able to breathe at this time: "Hungry..."

Jiang Baohong jumped up suddenly. She had forgotten that the man lying in the mud on the ground was her son.

"Son! My poor son! How did you get into this situation? All of you, get out of the way. Do you have any compassion? Hurry up and help carry him in..."

It would be strange if someone would help someone like her. Everyone left without caring about the quarrel just now, and hurried home to lock the door and open the window. They would rather be cold than be attacked by this disgusting smell. Want them to help? It's impossible for them to help.

Death is not going to help.

It is said that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, but the Cai family is too arrogant. And his family is too unreasonable. What if I don't help them and they blackmail me again? I can't stand it, I really can't stand it.

Didn't you see that this woman was beaten? I wonder who beat her because she was so mean. Some people think that her family is unlucky. Why do they all have wounds on their faces? Old Cai is like this, Jiang Baohong is like this, and even Xiao Cai is like this.

God knows what they have collided with, so it’s better to stay away from them.

unlucky!

No one wanted to help, so Fan De Biao helped the woman back home. He was out of breath, but didn't care and just sat on the sofa. The sofa didn't look clean anyway. Fan De Biao looked at the woman and thought she was really ugly.

How could he be beaten like this?

But then I thought about how slutty this woman was, and I felt that getting beaten was not a bad thing.

He sat down. Xiao Cai was a little confused at this time. He didn't know whether he was hungry or really couldn't bear the suffering. He kept muttering: "Hungry...hungry..."

Even though there was such a commotion outside, Lao Cai was still like a dead person, and he didn't leave the house at all. He was cold and had a fever, and he couldn't get up from the bed. Although Jiang Baohong was beaten more severely than Lao Cai and Xiao Cai, she was a strong woman and could hold on.

She forced herself to help her son onto the sofa and instructed Fan Debiao: "There is two kinds of noodles in the cupboard. Make some paste for me."

Fan Debiao's eyes widened: "What the hell?"

In order to get Fan Debiao to work, Jiang Baohong softened his voice and said, "Look at how badly I'm injured, and his father is almost delirious from the fever. We really don't have the strength. We are really sorry to trouble you, brother. When we get better, we will come to thank you. Thank you for your help."

Seeing that the old woman's face had been scratched into potato shreds and her hair was completely bald, Fan Debiao didn't think she was lying, so he finally said, "Okay then."

He got up and went to the kitchen. He saw that there was not much left. He hadn't eaten yet, so he naturally had to put in a little more. The thicker the stew, the happier he would be. He turned on the fire to cook.

Jiang Baohong cried around her son, "How did you get caught in the gourd? What kind of god did our family offend? It's so pitiful."

She cried, but raised her head again: "Boil some hot water, he needs to take a bath."

Although Xiao Cai was in a worse condition than his father, he was not as dirty as Lao Cai. After all, he was a little cleaner after being caught in the rain. Jiang Baohong unceremoniously ordered Fan Debiao to boil some hot water. The kettle is next to you. My son, you have suffered so much! How can our family be so miserable? We have encountered setbacks one after another."

She cried and shouted, and Fan Debiao felt his ears buzzing.

Jiang Baohong: "Medicine, I'll find some for you."

Fortunately, she went to get some medicine for Lao Cai today and got some cold medicine. She quickly took it out and said, "Take some."

I can’t care about anything else, I’ll just let my son take the medicine first.

Xiao Cai was so dizzy that he swallowed the pills following Jiang Baohong's instructions. At this time, Fan Debiao was finally done. He said, "It seems good. It's time to eat."

The two-piece dough was made quickly. Jiang Baohong saw the man took out two bowls. She didn't think the bowls were for her and her son. She tightened her mouth and said, "Comrade."

Fan Debiao: “What?”

Jiang Baohong: "Come here for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Fan Debiao was a little puzzled, but he still came to Jiang Baohong. Jiang Baohong walked to the door and said, "Come over and tell me."

Fan Debiao hummed, a little puzzled, not knowing what this female comrade wanted to say. Jiang Baohong saw him coming to her side and said stiffly: "It's getting late, you can also entertain you and go back. I have many patients at home, so I won't keep you."

After she finished speaking, she immediately opened the door. Fan Debiao was caught off guard and was pushed out by her.

Fan Debiao: "Fuck! You woman..."

This woman actually burned her bridges after crossing them.

But Jiang Baohong made it clear that she didn't give him a chance to stay and slammed the door shut.

Fan Debiao stood at the door in a daze, unable to believe that he had been fooled by an old lady. He thought about who he was, but he had to suffer such a fate. He gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Damn you, you ungrateful, despicable, shameless bastard, you damn old woman..."

No matter how he scolded, it was useless. Jiang Baohong snorted and retorted: "What you said is interesting. You didn't leave in the middle of the night. Are you plotting something bad against me? What's wrong with me asking you to leave? Don't think you can show off in front of me by showing a little favor to my son. Do you think I can't see it? You are interested in me, so please don't worry about taking advantage of me."

Fan Debiao almost suffocated. He never thought that he would be splashed with such dirty water. He had his requirements for women, and this kind of woman was never within his consideration.

He said angrily, "Damn it, why don't you look at your face in the mirror? You look like Zhu Bajie's second aunt, so ugly, and you still think you're pretty. Who would fall for you? Do you think I'm blind? No one would fall for a woman like you, you ugly freak!"

Jiang Baohong brought two bowls of porridge to the table and began to feed her son, saying, "I am ugly and yet you, a disgusting thing, covet me. You better get out of here. If you don't leave, aren't you just pestering me?"

Fan Debiao: “You!!!”

He was so angry that he was shaking. Thinking of Fan Debiao, the women he liked were young and beautiful, like the Fan sisters. This old woman was nothing. She actually felt so good about herself? He was so angry that he wanted to get a bowl of rice by taking advantage of it, but he didn't expect to get nothing. He really lost more than he gained.

He helped so much, but he was met with such shamelessness to frame him and chase him away.

"You bitch, you..."

The two started to curse at each other. Fan Debiao looked up and saw that many people opened their doors a crack to peek. He felt extremely embarrassed. He was so embarrassed that people misunderstood that he had an ambiguous relationship with such a woman that he felt like vomiting up his overnight meal.

A lack of patience will ruin great plans.

Fan Debiao couldn't bear it any longer, but he took a deep breath, turned around and left.

He couldn't continue to embarrass himself here. Sooner or later, he would avenge the Cai family.

Whether it is Xiao Cai or Xiao Cai's mother, these two people should not have any good ideas.

He walked away with heavy steps in hatred.

When Jiang Baohong heard that the person had left, he laughed triumphantly and said, "You still want to eat at my house? Forget it."

She fed her son a large bowl of very sticky two-grain noodle porridge, and watching him eat it in big mouthfuls, she said with tears in her eyes: "Son, you are suffering."

After she finished feeding her son, she went back into the house to feed Old Cai. There were two patients in the family, so she could only try her best to take care of them. In fact, she was in pain all over and felt very uncomfortable. She really couldn't do anything. careless and has no good intentions."

She lowered her head and started eating. She hadn't eaten for a day and her whole body ached.

"I want to eat more, I want to eat more..."

Xiao Cai kept muttering that he hadn't eaten for a long time and now he couldn't bear it any longer. One bowl of food was not enough to make him full. Jiang Baohong saw that there was still some food left and fed her son some more.

There were three sick people in a family of three, it was really sad and miserable. At this time, Jiang Baohong felt a little regretful.

The three of them are like this, so they should keep Fan Debiao. If they keep him, there will be someone to take care of themselves. Well, maybe they can call their daughter-in-law back? The daughter-in-law is bold enough to go back to her parents' home instead of serving her mother-in-law.

Whose daughter-in-law is not disciplined by her mother-in-law? She pursed her lips, unhappy, and decided to let her daughter-in-law Zhang Lanhua come back to serve others. They have caused this, so she can't not serve. Besides, it's also a chance for Zhang Lanhua to show her ability.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to show filial piety to the elderly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Baohong laughed again.

However, Jiang Baohong was overthinking it. She was seriously injured and could not go out. But when she asked someone to tell her, no one paid any attention to her. Their house was so smelly that no one paid any attention to her.

Later, when she felt better, she went to look for her daughter-in-law, but she was not given any face. Zhang Lanhua was afraid of having any connection with their family. If she had not been criticized for getting a divorce now, she would have wanted to get a divorce immediately.

This family is unreliable.

Zhang Lanhua was determined not to pay any attention to the Cai family.

But it is said that this scourge lasts for thousands of years. Although everyone in their family suffered a great deal, their vitality was strong and they survived. However, even so, it took the father and son a month to recover. As for Jiang Baohong, it took more than a month, nearly two months, to recover.

No one has left yet, but some of the savings have been spent.

The family is finally getting better, but it took quite a long time to recover from the illness, and now it's almost New Year's Day.

After Xiao Cai recovered, he took the initiative to find Fan Debiao, said all the good things, and won Fan Debiao back. Fan Debiao was "magnanimous" and didn't argue with them. Several people had their own ulterior motives. Fan Debiao wanted to use Cai's family as a gun, and then play a game of thieves.

Xiao Cai happened to think the same way. He just wanted to keep the money for himself. He didn't think about sharing the money with either his parents or Fan Debiao.

Even Lao Cai was thinking about how to get all the money. The dumbest among these people was Jiang Baohong, who really wanted to get the money and take revenge. But not all the others thought the same.

After two or three months, it was a bit awkward for several people to sit together again.

Although Fan Debiao "magnanimously" forgave Jiang Baohong, they were still a little cold when they met again. Jiang Baohong, on the other hand, took the initiative to show her goodwill after hearing Xiao Cai's advice: "Fan Debiao, some of the things I did before made you unhappy. Don't hold it against me. I didn't mean it."

Fan Debiao cursed this woman in his heart, but he still pretended to be a good guy and said, "Forget it, since it's a misunderstanding, I won't argue with you. Let's talk about the plan."

Whatever happens, that's all later.

Now the first thing is to make money.

For this opportunity, Xiao Cai had been looking for Fan Debiao for a while and also called his father. The three parties had discussed the matter in detail.

Xiao Cai: "My idea is to take advantage of the New Year's Day. I have inquired about it. The machinery factory will organize a large-scale cultural performance on New Year's Day. People in their compound will definitely go to watch the fun. At this time, the compound must be empty. This is our opportunity."

Lao Cai: "The machinery factory should set off firecrackers, and the noise will just cover up our voices."

Xiao Cai nodded: "Yes, even if there are neighbors around who didn't go to watch the excitement, they may not pay attention to what happened in this compound. But we have to be prepared for both situations. If someone didn't go to watch the excitement, then we have to take action at this time and tie them up directly. These compounds have cellars, and we lock people in the cellars. We start searching from the outside to the inside, and we can't let go of any house. We can't let go of where places money is usually hidden. For example, drawers must be checked. And the cabinets, check if there is money in the cracks. And the wall. Knock on it to see if there is a layer of interlayer."

He paused, took a sip of water and continued, "In addition to these places, there are also beams and kang holes. Everyone has to look for them by themselves. Once these things are found, they are ours. As long as we get the money, we will leave here quickly. Of course, it doesn't mean that we are done after doing these. We put the money away and then continue to set off. We have a second target. The second target is Zheng and Hu Huihui. These two people should be richer than those in the compound. We will go directly to their home. Their home is in the family building and is easier to be discovered. So we must go to the courtyard first. The courtyard doesn't look like a building. If there is a problem, we can control it. So the second choice is Hu Huihui's home."

"OK."

This is what everyone has agreed upon.

Lao Cai: "There is also the matter of revenge."

Xiao Cai's eyes flickered, and he said, "After we come back, we'll take the money and plan a way out. Then we'll go get revenge the day before we leave. There's no technical content in revenge. We'll just go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife. Then we'll leave Sijiu City as quickly as possible."

"That's fine."

Old Cai felt much relieved.

When Fan Debiao saw Xiao Cai's perfunctory expression, he didn't believe that Xiao Cai could really take revenge. It was obvious that he was just trying to delay. However, he didn't say anything. What did this matter have to do with him?

Although he hated it, he didn't think about revenge. What he wanted was money.

As long as you have money, it is the greatest compensation.

As for revenge, that's a matter for the future.

If he could only choose one, he would definitely not choose the latter. Although he hated the Zheng family and those who had detained him, compared with the money, it was not the most important thing.

He said, "We'll work out the details."

"OK."

"There are four of us. Isn't that a little short of people?"

Xiao Cai: "There are fewer people, but as long as we can control the situation, it's not a big deal. Although we are few in number, there are advantages to having fewer people. If there were more people, wouldn't there be one more person to distribute the things we robbed? Although there are fewer people now, it's only four of us to share, which is also a good thing."

“That’s right.”

Everyone wants to get more.

"People, quality is more important than quantity."

"Yes, yes."

After everyone discussed it, they all felt relieved and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Let's go to bed early tonight, have a good rest, and try to get an early start tomorrow..."

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Baohong said, "We have to talk about the profit sharing, right?"

The eyes of the other people flickered.

Because no one wanted to share, in fact, everyone wanted to take it for themselves, and only Jiang Baohong thought that they really wanted to share. Xiao Cai's eyes flashed, and he said, "Then naturally, the four of us will each take one and share it equally."

It's all his anyway.

Although Fan Debiao thought so too, and felt that these were all his, he was still not satisfied when he heard this, and said, "How can it be one point each? Doesn't your family take three quarters? But I only have one quarter, so I'm still at a loss."

"You can't say that. It's your fault that you sent one person. There are three of us."

Fan Debiao: "But I have contributed a lot. I am an adult man. Look at your parents, they are not young anymore, and there is also a female comrade, who can't really help much."

"Isn't that right? I think..."

Everyone started arguing, and although they hadn't started fighting yet, they had already started fighting for the "stolen money".

Fan Debiao was thinking, I have to pretend to fight for it, otherwise others will suspect me, and I can't show any intention of robbing my fellow thieves.

What a coincidence, Xiao Cai thought so too.

Old Cai thought so too. Only Jiang Baohong was sincerely fighting for herself.

After a heated debate, Jiang Baohong finally won a quarter of the share and smiled triumphantly. He said, "We should have done this a long time ago."

The other people were silent. Xiao Cai said, "Okay, Fan Debiao, you stay at my house today, and we will act together tomorrow. No one can leak the news."

Fan Debiao: “No problem.”

The neighbors all shook their heads when they saw Fan Debiao coming again. It's really hard to understand how your family fights today and makes up tomorrow.

However, the "Food" group was in a good mood. Although they had wasted a long time due to the injuries of the Cai family, it was not too late now. After all, this good opportunity on New Year's Day was not always available.

They felt that this was God's will.

Several people are ready to go, waiting for the big action tomorrow.

On the other hand, when Jiang Baohong went to the mental hospital to give up her life, everyone in the hospital knew about it. How could they not know? It happened that Zheng Huimin went to see her mother that day, and Li Junjun accompanied her. When they arrived, they heard that Guan Guiling could not see her today because she was ill.

After further investigation into the cause of Guan Guiling's illness, it turned out that it was indeed Jiang Baohong who had visited her.

But before Zheng Huimin could worry, she heard that Jiang Baohong was beaten badly, but for some reason, he left quickly without asking for compensation. With all those injuries. Zheng Huimin's mouth twitched after hearing this, and she really didn't know what to say.

How did that saying go?

Is this person sending his head for a thousand miles? Her mother is a lunatic, and this old lady is so bold as to provoke a lunatic. She really doesn't know that Lord Horse has three eyes.

That's it, it would be strange if you don't suffer any loss.

Although Guan Guiling did not suffer any harm, such an attack is still very scary. Zheng Huimin reminded everyone this time that if anyone visits in the future, it is best to arrange a meeting.

After all, Guan Guiling's mental illness is the kind that will cause her to go crazy and hurt people when it breaks out.

The mental hospital was also knowledgeable and agreed very seriously.

There are many types of mental illness. There is no doubt that Guan Guiling's case is more manic, so we need to be extra careful.

Although Zheng Huimin didn't see her biological mother, she left everything behind and left. She left with Li Junjun, frowning tightly, but Li Junjun kindly comforted her: "Don't worry, your mother is in a mental hospital, this is a formal institution, it's impossible for Jiang Baohong to act arrogantly here. And your mother won't suffer any loss in this state."

He heard about it all. The guy named Jiang Baohong was beaten badly.

He said: "Although your mother has no freedom here, at least her life is stable. She can't hurt others, and others can't hurt her. Isn't this good?"

Nowadays, not many people with mental illness are sent to mental hospitals. Most of them are locked up at home. But Zheng Huimin can't do that. She has to go to work. Even if she doesn't set up the stall, she can't take care of her mother wholeheartedly.

Her mother would get angry and hurt people if she was provoked. If she wasn't sent to a mental hospital, it would be too easy to cause trouble. No amount of money would be enough to compensate her, so she had to do this. It can be said that if Jiang Baohong hadn't come to cause trouble herself, she wouldn't have been beaten like this.

After all, Guan Guiling was locked up.

Zheng Huimin pursed her lips and sighed, "I know, I know everything. I'm not worried about my mother. I'm not that worried here. What I'm thinking now is that Jiang Baohong came back to cause trouble, so why did she appear in the apricot blossoms?"

She whispered, "Can't find my mother? Are you looking for revenge on me?"

Li Junjun: "Not necessarily. He might also look for Aunt Xiu and Uncle Fendou."

Zheng Huimin: "..."

As an outsider, she only knew a little about what happened back then, so she naturally had to ask more questions. Li Junjun hesitated for a moment, and finally briefly explained what happened back then. Although it was a brief explanation, she knew more than Zheng Huimin.

He was still young at that time, so it would be impossible to explain it in a complicated way.

After hearing this, Jung Hye-min was amazed: "It's so complicated."

"That's right."

The two of them walked back while talking, but the first thing they did when they got back was that Zheng Huimin told them that Jiang Baohong had indeed returned. Everyone was a little worried, not that anyone was worrying too much, but that this girl came to their side to cause trouble as soon as she came back. She was the toilet maniac.

So if you say they are holding back a fart, no one will believe it.

Zhuang Zhixi: "I'll go ask around and see what their situation is."

Zhao Guihua: "Okay, I'll leave this to you."

Zhuang Zhixi was very quick and found out everything very quickly. To be honest, he was a little confused. How could this family be so unlucky? When Zhuang Zhixi went to find out, he found out that all three members of the family were sick at home. It sounded so tragic.

But ha, the neighbors around here are so hateful.

After all, this family is a scourge to others. But this also proves that this family is indeed the sewer maniacs who drill into the sewers. Everyone really kept a close eye on them for a while, but gradually relaxed.

It’s not that they don’t work hard, but this family of patients rarely go out.

After a while, it is naturally no longer taken seriously.

Although they were a little wary of them, the days passed quickly and everything was calm. Besides, the family was recuperating at home, so slowly everyone returned to normal and stopped thinking about the family's affairs.

As the end of the year approaches, everyone is even busier.

The performance of the machinery factory has been quite good in the past two years. There were no activities last year, but this year there are some. Zhuang Zhixi was originally seconded, but he was called back to help. He ran back and forth and was exhausted.

Speaking of which, Zhuang Zhixi is very passionate about participating in such activities. After all, it was because of this that he was transferred from the infirmary to the Propaganda Department.

This is not to say that the infirmary is bad, the infirmary is still very good, but he didn't study medicine at all, and there was really no use for him in the infirmary, so he was quite happy to leave and go to the Propaganda Department, although the Propaganda Department was very seniority-based and there were more people with backgrounds. It was difficult for him to get promoted, but it should be said that it was the same even in the infirmary.

The Propaganda Department is more in line with his personality.

Therefore, Zhuang Zhixi is very grateful for the opportunity to perform that year. It was this opportunity that allowed him to be transferred.

Although she was running back and forth this time, she was also doing her best. Zhuang Zhixi was very busy, and so were the others. Mingmei was also busy as she was facing the end of the semester. There was also Jiang Lu, who worked in the Women's Federation of the factory. This time, the machinery factory was holding an event at the end of the year, so they naturally had to go over to help.

I have to say, this is always the case when I go to work.

But people who don't work are just as busy. Isn't it the end of the year? Most people have started buying new clothes for the New Year, so their stalls are doing very well. Although there are many styles in shopping malls now, this stall is not bad.

Moreover, the price is more advantageous and the attitude is good, so many people still choose to be self-employed.

Actually, the Chinese New Year is not too early this year, it is in February, but no one wants to buy clothes at the end of the year, for fear that these are leftovers from others. Everyone is very anxious. Zhao Guihua and her friends have to go out early in the morning, they are exhausted.

Although I was tired, I was also happy. I counted the money until my hands cramped.

No one doesn't like money.

Compared to the adults, the children also had their own activities on New Year's Day. The school would hold a party on the morning of New Year's Day. Most of the children in the compound were in the same class. If there were any children who were not in the same class, it would be Siyuan, who was one year younger than them, and his younger brothers and sisters from the next yard.

But it doesn't matter if they are not in the same class, because each class has its own program.

However, the children gathered together and had their own complaints, because the machinery factory also held an event on the morning of New Year's Day. They also wanted to watch the fun, and the little ones hummed and groaned.

But there is nothing I can do about it.

Tuantuan: "I heard that the activities at the machinery factory are also quite good."

Yuanyuan nodded, but kept mumbling: "But we don't have enough time to go to the machinery factory after school."

Everyone nodded, thinking that this was correct.

Bai Qingqing said, "My mom told me to go home directly after school and not go to the machinery factory. There must be a lot of people there, and we kids can't squeeze in. We don't want to get stepped on."

"Actually, that's what my mother said too," Yuanyuan sighed.

Sure enough, parents all think the same thing.

But what the parents said makes sense.

Ye Siyuan was very depressed at this time. His little face was wrinkled and painful: "You don't have to wait for us after school tomorrow."

"how?"

Ye Siyuan said worriedly, "I have a decayed tooth. My mother said she would take me to have it extracted tomorrow. After the school party is over, I will go to the hospital with my mother."

Wang Zizhen has to set up a stall every day, so she doesn't have much time. It just so happens that all the factories will have activities tomorrow, so she can't do this business, so she took this opportunity to take her son to the hospital to have a tooth extracted. Siyuan, the little adult, sighed with sadness and said, "It's New Year's Day, but I have to go to the hospital."

The children looked at Ye Siyuan and felt worried for him.

Yuanyuan: "What about Sijia and Sitian?"

The two children looked at Yuanyuan silently, and were as worried as their brother. They said in a sweet and soft voice, "Mom asked us to go with her."

"Ah? Why?"

Yuanyuan looked at her little sister Sitian with a little confusion.

Sitian looked at her brother sadly.

Ye Siyuan said, "Mom said that we have been living a good life these past two years. We have no control over our sweets and have all gotten cavities. This is not good. So this time when I have my teeth pulled, they have to come with me."

After a pause, he said quietly, "Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."

"puff!"

The kids just sprayed it.

Looking at the three siblings of the Ye family again, I felt that they were indeed so pitiful.

Sitian pointed at herself and said, "I am that monkey."

Sijia: "Me too."

Everyone burst into laughter again, they were indeed two little monkeys.

Xing Er also spoke up and said, "I won't go with you guys tomorrow either. Erlin needs a follow-up checkup tomorrow, so we have to go to the hospital together."

Erlin leaned on his sister's shoulder and said, "Sister will go with me."

He will be scared.

If his sister is with him, he feels like he has a helper.

Li Zhenzhen: "Hey, then only people from our compound will be here tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Then let's watch TV after school. Grandpa added an antenna to our TV, so we can receive two more channels. One of the channels plays cartoons at noon, which are really good." Yuanyuan suggested.

"Ah, there's this good thing."

"Yes."

The children immediately became happy. Although they were in their teens, they were still children.

Everyone's favorite is still cartoons. Although TV series are not bad, they can't compare to cartoons. Everyone quickly started to chatter about cartoons. Tuantuan: "Tomorrow after the party, let's watch cartoons together and go to Houhai for ice skating in the afternoon, okay?"

Ye Siyuan: "I'll join in the ice skating, and I'll be free this afternoon."

"Me too, me too."

Xing'er and the others didn't know if they had time in the afternoon, but they also said, "If we come back, we'll come to your compound to say hello and we'll go together. If we don't come to say hello, it means we haven't come back, so we won't go with you."

"OK."

"OK."

The children started chattering again: "What programs are your class performing?"

"us..."

After everyone discussed it, they just felt that they, the elementary school students, had a lot of things to do.

Everyone gathered together and chattered. Mingmei came back from get off work and looked at the children. She couldn't help but say to Zhuang Zhixi, who was also off work, "Children are so carefree."

Zhuang Zhixi laughed and said, "Aren't you carefree now?"

Thinking carefully, Mingmei has never encountered any bad things in her life. She has always been very relaxed. It was easy before she got married, and it is still easy now. It can be said that she has lived a good life before and after getting married.

Mingmei: "You know what, it's true. I've always had an easy life, and I'm so happy to have met you and your family. Although everyone says your mother is a mean mother-in-law, I know best that she's a good person. I'm so lucky."

She has been married for more than ten years, and she has never had any conflicts with her mother-in-law, and she has never had any conflicts with her mother-in-law like in other families. Even Leung Mei-fun doesn't dare to make a fuss. This family is really comfortable.

But if you change to another family, you may not have such an easy life.

After all, even if she could dream, she wouldn't necessarily meet someone like her mother-in-law every time.

You know, her mother-in-law is a member of the rebirth party!

Rebirth! I have never heard of it or seen it before, it is really awesome.

"I love this home so much."

Zhuang Zhixi: "I'm going to be so proud if you say that."

He was cuddling with his wife and said, "You are so nice, everyone can get along with you. Our family is lucky to have you. Tell me how lucky I am to have such a nice wife like you, who is pretty, nice, and good at fighting. I feel so safe."

Mingmei pushed him away when she saw him acting weird, and said with a smile, "Stop talking nonsense."

Zhuang Zhixi: "What nonsense! My wife is good."

The two of them were sticky and came out to pour water. When they saw this, they turned their heads silently and said faintly: "The boy loves the girl."

After saying that, he walked into the house carrying the kettle as if nothing had happened.

Mingmei put her hands on her hips and said, "Tuantuan, just drink water. Don't put sugar in it. Got it?"

Tuan Tuan froze, pouted, and stretched out his words: "...Oh."

Although he is a boy, he also likes to eat candy.

Nowadays, there is no child who doesn't like eating candy.

Tuan Tuan walked into the house and spread his hands to everyone. Everyone sighed and said that sugar water tasted better.

Ye Siyuan comforted himself: "It's right not to drink sugar water. I have cavities."

The tooth decay squad silently covered their mouths again.

Fortunately, they are still changing their teeth.

Mingmei doesn't care about the children's worries. She thinks that these little guys can't be ignored and just drink sugar water. Not to mention, the conditions have improved in the past two years, and these children themselves have felt it. They are living a comfortable life.

Every time I give them some pocket money, they like to buy candy. Their teeth are not very good. Fortunately, these children change their teeth late, otherwise they are doomed! Mingmei: "It's time to take care of them."

Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "You are very good at talking."

Even though Mingmei always smiles, she is also very good at talking. After all, who hasn't seen Mingmei kill people? Anyway, around here, no matter if it's an adult or a child, from eighty to eight years old, no matter how kind Mingmei is, as long as she is used to scare people, it will work.

There is no way, what you hear is not as good as what you see.

They really saw it.

I have seen it before, so I dare not provoke it.

Just look at what Mingmei said, and the kids didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhuang Zhixi gave his wife a thumbs up, and Mingmei snorted coquettishly.

As the two were talking, they heard a "whoa".

“It’s snowing.”

"It's snowing again."

"We can build a snowman now."

"Yes, yes."

Snow is not uncommon in the north, but children are full of enthusiasm for everything. They are always surprised and scream when it snows. Mingmei stood at the door and looked outside, saying, "These snowflakes are quite big."

Zhuang Zhixi: "I don't know when this rain will stop. Be careful on your way to work or school tomorrow, don't slip."

Mingmei looked at the falling snow and said, "I think it will last a long time."

Zhuang Zhixi shrugged: "Who knows?"

You know what, Mingmei was right. The snow fell all night long, and it was heavy snow like goose feathers. It was very thick. When Zhuang Zhixi pushed the door open in the morning, he found that the snow was more than an finger high.

It can be seen that it really didn't stop at all last night.

The windows were frozen into window grilles, and the icicles under the eaves were crumbling.

Zhuang Zhixi opened the door, blew on his hands, put on gloves and prepared to sweep the snow. At this time, other people came out, including several men. Bai Fendou and Zhou Qun were all there, and the young people also came out.

Zhuang Zhixi said: "It's snowing so heavily. I wonder how many people will suffer today."

“Food” family: Ha Qiu! Ha Qiu Ha Qiu!

Faintly, I felt the curse.
