Chapter 390: A plan within a plan, he is the fish that was caught
A few years ago, in order to survive, my grandmother begged along the village on a stormy night.
Now, several years have passed and he is back on this path.
Every time he walked, he felt that his self-esteem was being trampled upon.
He hates himself.
He knew clearly that Hu Tiezhu had bad intentions towards them and didn't really want to be nice to him, but he couldn't refuse.
Although he knew that he was a member of the Hu family, he was still too young to bear the burden of life and could not provide his younger brothers with a worry-free life.
"Aunt, we just came back and have nothing prepared. We don't have any food to eat. We are not here to ask you for anything. I just want you to lend us some rice and noodles, or some money. When we have money, we will pay you back as soon as possible."
Before Pei Ankang knocked on other people's doors, Pei Yucheng knocked on the door himself, and then greeted the neighbors in the village very politely.
"You kids, didn't I hear that your father's comrades-in-arms took good care of you? Why did you come back for no reason?"
The neighbors all knew about their family's situation and Hu Tiezhu's character. They felt distressed and helpless. They measured a liter of rice from their own homes and gave it to them, saying, "This year's harvest is not good. Auntie has no choice but to give you this. You can go to other families and visit other families."
Pei Yucheng nodded, "Thank you, Auntie! We will definitely repay you double!"
Seeing his serious and polite appearance, the other party felt a lump in his throat, "They are all good kids, much more reliable than your second uncle!"
"Well, what can we do if it continues like this?"
"Don't worry, Auntie! We will get through this!"
"Hu Tiezhu is such a bastard!"
They are all from the countryside and can't earn any money at all. They really feel sorry for the children, but they really can't help them. In the end, they can only curse Hu Tiezhu a few times.
They didn't dare to curse too loudly because they didn't know if this guy would come after them!
"Brother, why don't you go back first! I'll borrow the food! You have to trust me, I can do it!"
Pei Yucheng rushed in front of Pei Ankang, "When Yuanbao and I went to help my second aunt with work, Yuanbao secretly told me that if people want to have enough food and clothing, if they want to succeed, they must be thick-skinned! Besides, we don't really hate other people's things, we are just borrowing! We will definitely be able to return these borrowed things!"
Pei Ankang could see that his brother was worried that he couldn't let go of his attitude, so he touched Pei Yucheng's head and said, "Brother is older than you, so he must be thicker-skinned than you! Let's go together!"
"Our difficulties are only temporary! When the ice and snow over there melt and we can go to the city, we will be able to earn money and support ourselves."
The three brothers encouraged each other.
"Yes. Mom said that staying alive is the most important thing! When conditions are tough, don't worry about your face and dignity. We must live well."
You can only get out of here alive.
To...
Pei Yucheng did not continue.
I couldn't think about Lin Yunchu at this moment. If I did, I would feel extremely wronged.
Some time ago, they were able to sleep in warm beds and eat delicious rice and dishes.
After this short period of time, the house they lived in was drafty on all sides, they were so cold that they couldn't sleep at night, and they had occasional meals.
The three brothers visited the entire village and explained their purpose.
Those who were willing to give them food gave them food while cursing Hu Tiezhu.
But each family did not give much, and even if the three of them said it was a loan, they did not believe it. Of course, they were more worried that the things they gave to the three brothers would eventually be spent by Hu Tiezhu.
After the three brothers returned home, they wrote on the wall everything that each household had lent them, and they would definitely return them.
These things helped them get through the New Year, but they were all eaten up within a few days of the New Year.
It's New Year's Day and I'm going to someone else's house, and this thing is not good.
The three of them looked at the things in the rotten pot and then looked at the mountain in front of the door. The mountain was still covered with thick snow.
When they came back, they were wearing thick cotton clothes, but there was no extra firewood at home, so they didn't dare to make too big a fire.
His stomach growled and Pei Yucheng pursed his lips. He was so hungry.
"You little bastards, let me go!"
"How uneducated! I'm your uncle, and you treat me like this! Please don't let me get up!"
Hu Tiezhu yelled loudly on the wooden board.
He underestimated these little devils!
These damn guys knocked him unconscious and tied him to a wooden board, and then they never let him down or untied him.
He was only given a little bit of porridge and water to drink every day, just to keep him alive.
He was so hungry and shivering with cold every day.
If he hadn't been used to the cold, he would have frozen to death this time.
The main purpose of bringing them back home was to make them suffer a little and then beg for mercy from him, so that they would listen to whatever he said, and he could smoothly get the state subsidies for the three brothers.
I didn’t expect that these three little bastards were actually transformed from wolves!
If you go against him, he will not recognize any relatives!
He was very regretful at this moment. As soon as Pei Huaiyuan left, Lin Keke's people came. As soon as they arrived, they took away all the money from him.
He was also accused of spending too much money.
He felt a little guilty at the time, so he returned all the money he had.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have done such a stupid thing.
Money in hand is more important than anything else.
What are you feeling guilty about?
"Don't worry, we won't let you get up! You killed grandma!"
Pei Ankang said with cold eyes.
"You little bastard, why are you looking at me like that? What do you want to do?"
Hu Tiezhu was frightened when Pei Ankang looked at him!
He suddenly felt that he shouldn't have provoked them in the first place, let alone taken them back.
This thing is really more terrifying than the little wild beast!
He was really cruel!
"I don't want to do anything! Before you ask this question, you should ask, what do you want to do?"
"We are all waiting to live the good life you mentioned."
"..." Hu Tiezhu felt that he dared not look him in the eye. His eyes were so scary, like a wild wolf in the jungle, as if he would eat him in the next second.
"You saw it... If you want to live a good life, you have to let me go first."
"After I let you go, will I give you another chance to hurt us brothers?"
"Uncle, tell me, why are you doing this? Is it just for our little government subsidy?"
Pei Ankang looked at him with sharp eyes.
Hu Tiezhu was trembling all over. It was the first time he saw murderous intent in a twelve-year-old child.
"Who was the one who called you out that night? If you tell me, I might let you go later. Of course, the premise of letting you go is that you promise not to hurt us again. It's not easy for the three of us brothers. After all, we are your nephews. If possible, the three of us will take care of you and see you to the end of your life. If not, we can see you to the end of your life now."
Pei Ankang looked at him with narrowed eyes, his pupils full of coldness, the atmosphere was colder than the ice and snow outside.
"Who have you offended? Don't you have any idea?"
Hu Tiezhu suppressed his inner fear and shouted loudly.
"We were still kids, we really didn't offend anyone."
Pei Ankang answered.
The only time they had a conflict was with Xu Mingyi when he was still in Yanweikou.
But it was obvious that Xu Mingyi couldn't hook up with him.
"You don't recognize anyone, so what about Pei Huaiyuan and Lin Yunchu?"
"..." Pei Ankang's mind was working rapidly, and he said, "That person wanted to take us away in order to avenge my Uncle Pei? Is this considered revenge? We are not Uncle Pei's biological children. Anyone would think that our leaving would be beneficial to them, and they don't have to bear the responsibility that belongs to us."
"Do you think I believe this nonsense you said?"
Hu Tiezhu sneered and said, "You are so superficial!"
“…”
"He must think that having you around them would be a great help to Pei Huaiyuan and Lin Yunchu. That's why he tried to get you away from them."
"He thinks that when we grow up, we will be even more powerful for me, Pei Shu. You are our uncle, why don't you think we will be successful when we grow up? Why do you have to abuse us like this?"
Hu Tiezhu was confused for a moment.
This seems to be the logic.
"My dear second uncle, tell me who is doing this kind of wicked thing. You have done such a senseless thing and made our life so miserable."
Pei Ankang asked in a persuasive manner.
"Who is the biggest rival of your woman? Who is always causing trouble for her? That's all I can tell you."
"Lin Keke, right?"
Pei Ankang asked.
Hu Tiezhu said nothing.
"If you don't say anything, that means you agree."
"How much bribe did she give you?"
Pei Ankang continued to ask.
Hu Tiezhu continued to remain silent.
"Let me think about it. Some time ago, when you appeared in front of me, you were in a miserable state. It wasn't long after that, and you immediately looked like a successful person. So, she gave you money and asked you to take us away. In order to make us believe that you were a successful person, she gave you a set of clothes and rented a yard for you in town. She also dealt with all the problems that we might have noticed."
"Is that so?"
Hu Tiezhu was shocked.
How could this little brat deduce so many things?
"Did you know this from the beginning?"
Hu Tiezhu was shocked.
Pei Ankang remained silent.
"You don't believe that I made a lot of money, let alone that I bought a yard in town. You knew that you would suffer a lot if you followed me back, but you still came back."
"You did this on purpose, right? Ever since I appeared in front of you, you have been thinking about how to deal with me?"
"After so many years, you have always thought this way, right? And I just happened to find you myself!"
"You hate me for stealing the corn and money from home and watching your grandmother die miserably, right?"
When asking the last question, Hu Tiezhu almost shouted.
Pei Ankang looked at him coldly, still silent.
In the past, Lin Yunchu often told them stories, and when she came to the end to draw a conclusion, she would always say that the villain died because he talked too much.
He would not tell Hu Tiezhu any of his motives.
Let him guess.
Let him guess.
Hu Tiezhu looked at the little face in front of him that was childish but covered with frost. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had done something extremely stupid.
He thought he was a winner, but in fact, he was the dumbest one in the game.
Lin Keke just treated him as a pawn, but Pei Ankang was more terrifying. He used the same trick against her, and after all this time, he was the fish that was caught.
"Help! Help! These three kids of mine are trying to kill me! Village chief, everyone, come and save me!"
The more Hu Tiezhu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He lay on the wooden board and screamed.
The cry was extremely shrill.
It seemed as if Pei Ankang would kill him the next moment.
But no matter how he shouted, no one came to their house.
Firstly, it’s the New Year, and everyone thinks it’s unlucky to see him.
Secondly, everyone thinks that Pei Ankang and I three are all children, and their father is in the army, so how could we do something to hurt Hu Tiezhu?
If there really was beating and murder, it was Hu Tiezhu who bullied the three brothers, not the three brothers who bullied him.
If he was really beaten up by the three brothers, it must be because he went too far.
He has done more than one or two such excessive things!
When the father of Pei Ankang and his two brothers died, Hu Tiezhu sneaked home and stole all the pension of his eldest brother.
Later, after spending all the money, he secretly came back and sold the only corn in the house, which led to his mother's tragic death.
Later, there were often missing chickens and ducks in the village, so everyone joined together to catch the thief who stole the poultry. They thought it was a weasel in the mountains, but it turned out that the person they caught was him.
What makes people want to rip him off for millions of dollars is that there was an old lady at the entrance of the village. Her grandson fell ill, and the old lady took money to take the child to the hospital for treatment. He took away the money the old lady gave to the child for treatment. The doctor refused to treat the child because he had no money. The old lady came back crying with the child in her arms. Later, because the child had a fever and did not receive timely treatment, he developed meningitis. The good child finally became stupid.
"Uncle, please stop yelling. No one will come to our house! Before the New Year, when we went to borrow food and flour, everyone told us about your behavior over the years. If I really punish you, everyone will just think I am enforcing justice."
Pei Ankang raised the corners of his lips and said coldly.
"I won't kill you, but I won't let you go either. Just lie there quietly. Only by lying there quietly, you won't harm others!"
If Hu Tiezhu hadn't taken the initiative to come to them, he could have lived a peaceful and happy life for a few more years.
But he came anyway and insisted on bringing them back.
Then these things can only be settled in advance.
Pei Haonan listened to the conversation between Pei Ankang and Hu Tiezhu without interrupting from beginning to end.
It was only after listening to it that he understood why his elder brother had to come back.
Looking at Hu Tiezhu on the wooden board, he suddenly felt very happy. Yes, let him be trapped in this situation where he can neither live nor die!
He had harmed them all in the first place, killing their grandmother and making them homeless. This was all retribution for his actions!
