Chapter 294
One afternoon, Yang Shu was sewing shoe soles and chatting with a few guys who were on good terms with him under a tree. In fact, Yang Shu was envied by many guys. Yan Changjiang was not only good-looking, but also a bit shrewd but also very honest. He was always very considerate to Yang Shu, which was rare among farm men. He separated from the Yan family and took Yang Shu away to live his own life early. Even though Yang Shu did not give birth to a son for him, he still loved Yang Shu very much. All his life, the guys wanted a man who was good to them.
Perhaps this is why Yang Lan sees Yang Shu as a thorn in her side. Yan Changjiang is not only good to Yang Shu, but he also makes money, and gives all the money he earns to Yang Shu for safekeeping. But what about Yan Changhai? Although Yang Lan has always been proud of having two sons, and feels that she can suppress Yang Shu, she has to admit that Yang Shu is now living a much happier life than him.
"When Jing'er gets admitted to university, your life will be more hopeful. When Jing'er becomes a city dweller, he will definitely bring back a city son-in-law for you two."
Yang Shu smiled and said, "I don't care whether it's in the city or not, as long as I am devoted to Jing'er, that's enough. When I married Jing'er's father, he was penniless, but now he can live a good life."
"Times have changed. If Jing'er really finds you a poor rural son-in-law, I wonder if you and Changjiang would be willing to let your son marry him?" Guo Xia joked.
Suddenly, there was a sound of pigs squealing from the pigpen, mixed with a person's scream. Yang Shu almost poked his finger with the needle. He quickly put down his shoe and ran over there in a hurry: "Oh no, something happened in the pigpen."
"Let's go with you and take a look. The pigs are all staying in the pigsty, so why are people screaming?"
These words gave several people a bad feeling in their hearts. Other villagers heard the pigs squealing non-stop over there, and they all put down what they were doing and went to check.
The first ones to arrive were not Yang Shu and his friends, but a villager who was working near the pigpen. He heard someone screaming and ran over in a hurry. He saw a man fallen to the ground with a bottle lying on the side. What surprised him even more was that the pig had pushed over a wall and ran out of it. It was that pig that knocked down the man on the ground, and more pigs ran out of the pigpen behind it, surrounding the man on the ground.
"Yang Lan! What are you doing here? What's wrong with these pigs?"
As he was speaking, Yang Shu and the others came running over. Yang Lan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He wanted to get up and run away, but not only was he being watched by the villagers, but he was also surrounded by several pigs, who seemed to be ready to knock him over if he continued to run.
When Yang Shu saw Yang Lan, his heart skipped a beat: "Brother, what are you doing in my pigpen? What are you holding on the ground?"
Seeing that Yang Lan wanted to hide the bottle, Yang Shu took a few steps forward and snatched the bottle. After seeing the label on the bottle, Yang Shu rushed over and hit Yang Lan: "Yang Lan, why did you bring dichlorvos to my pigs? What did I do to you? Do you want to poison these pigs I raise? My pigs are about to be slaughtered, and you can't stand it. How can you be so cruel? Do you know that my whole year's work will be in vain if I poison these pigs? How much money will I lose?"
"You are such a rotten-hearted bastard, I knew you disliked me, but I never thought you would actually want to poison my pigs!"
"No, I wasn't, I was just passing by..." Yang Lan, who fell to the ground with an obviously disabled leg, struggled and defended himself. He secretly hated these pigs in his heart. Why the hell did these pigs yell at him and even run out to push him over? Damn it!
"Oh my God, it's really DDT! Passing by? Passing by the pigpen with DDT? Yang Lan, tell me where you want to take the DDT and what you want to do!" Others were also extremely shocked.
"Help me call my man now. Oh, and the village chief, I want to show everyone how evil Yang Lan's heart is! I will never give up on this matter!"
The village chief and Yan Changjiang were soon called over. When listening to Yang Shu and other witnesses' explanation of what they saw, Yan Changjiang saw Yan Changhai coming up from behind, rushed over and punched him. It was not easy for him to beat Yang Lan's husband, but couldn't he beat his elder brother?
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
Other villagers stepped forward to stop them, but Yan Changhai still received several punches from Yan Changjiang, causing a commotion at the scene.
The village chief was also shocked after finding out what happened. Everyone knew how much effort Yang Shu had put into raising these eight pigs. Just feeding them and cleaning the pigpen every day was very tiring work, and he earned his money through hard work. If these eight pigs were poisoned to death, Yang Shu would lose several thousand dollars.
This matter must not be tolerated. If we let it go this time, people will definitely follow suit and poison people whenever there is a conflict. How can Yanjia Village live in peace in the future?
It was another incident caused by Yan Changhai's family! Are all the people in his family rotten from the root?
Old Master Yan and Old Madam Yan ran over and actually stood on Yang Lan's side, saying that they were just passing by the pigpen and had no intention of poisoning. They also said that Yang Shu and Yan Changjiang were making a fuss out of nothing and were being unreasonable, talking about everything from the engagement gift money to Yan Jiabao being arrested and imprisoned, and now they refused to let his elder brother go. In their eyes, Yan Changjiang and Yang Shu were completely villains, and Yan Changjiang was so angry that he was shaking.
"Okay, since you guys said I wronged him, Yang Lan, then fine, report it to the police and have them send someone to investigate. If the police find out that Yang Lan is innocent, I will kowtow to him and apologize. But if he deliberately poisoned him, don't blame me for not being a brother."
"How dare you!" The old nanny jumped up and wanted to scratch the poplar tree. In her opinion, it was the poplar tree that caused her second son to be unfilial and to become estranged from his parents.
The village chief also realized that the old lady was just making trouble, so he said firmly: "Call the police! Go to the town and report to the police immediately! We in Yanjia Village will never tolerate people who deliberately poison others' property, and we will never wrongly accuse anyone!"
This is not a matter of tens or hundreds of dollars, but thousands of dollars! Some families don't even have a few thousand dollars in total.
As soon as Yan Zhenguo heard that something happened in Yuan Jing's family, he rushed over immediately. When he saw the village chief asking people to go to the town to report to the police, no one else did anything, so he immediately went back to get his bicycle and rode to the town to report to the police station. If it was found that they really used DDT to poison the pigs, then this would be a huge matter in Yanjia Village, and it made other people shudder when they heard it. Even an enemy would not do such a thing.
Listen to what this old lady said. She blamed Yan Changjiang for not being able to afford the bride price for Yan Jiabao's marriage, and she also blamed Yan Changjiang for Yan Jiabao being arrested and jailed for gambling. I have seen people who are biased, but it is rare to be biased to this extent. This is forcing Yan Changjiang and the old couple to be distracted.
Yang Shu drove the escaped pigs back to the pigsty, and found someone to rebuild the wall that had been knocked over. He and Yan Changjiang took out the troughs for pig feed, for fear that Dichlorvos had been poured inside.
Yang Lan wanted to run, but everyone surrounded him and prevented him from running. Yang Lan was both angry and uneasy. He thought that the cause of the problem would not be known, as the pigs were not dead yet. On the contrary, he was hit by a pig and might have to be sent to the hospital.
After receiving the report, the police station immediately sent people to Yanjia Village. They heard that it was a poisoning case involving eight pigs that were about to be slaughtered. The amount of money involved in this case was not small. Two police officers rushed to Yanjia Village and investigated the whole thing thoroughly. Finally, they took Yang Lan back. It was very clear that Yang Lan was suspected of deliberate poisoning. Dichlorvos was found in one of the pig troughs. Fortunately, the smart pig did not eat the food fed by Yang Lan. On the contrary, he was knocked down by the pig that ran out.
This result was very pleasing to everyone. Except for the old couple, Yan Changhai's family was also very unhappy, but they did not dare to stop the government officials.
Although Yang Lan was taken away, Yan Changjiang was still chilled by the attitude of his eldest brother's family and the two elders. He threatened in front of the village chief and other villagers: "Yan Changhai, I have never done anything to let you down as my eldest brother. I just didn't help you two raise your sons, but aren't they your biological sons? When will it be my turn as an uncle to raise them? Just because of this, you are going to poison my eight pigs! Since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for not recognizing you as your eldest brother. In the future, my husband and I will not be short of a penny for honoring the two elders, but from now on, your eldest brother's family belongs to your eldest brother's family, and my family belongs to my family. Even if my family is so poor that we have to beg for food, I will never go to your eldest brother's house to get a penny!"
"I'm putting this on hold today. No one can persuade me. If you can poison my pigs today, you can poison my whole family tomorrow if you refuse to raise my nephew! Don't say that you, my eldest brother, didn't know about this. If you still cared about our brotherly love, Yang Lan wouldn't have done such a thing today!"
"Father, please don't try to persuade me. If I really get mad, I'll just die with my elder brother's family. No one will be able to live a peaceful life!"
At that moment, Yan Changjiang's eyes were full of hatred, which made the two old men feel cold in their hearts. The words they wanted to say were stuck in their throats, and they couldn't even throw a tantrum, because they could see that the second old man was not just talking, and if he was pushed hard enough, he could really do such a thing.
"Okay, don't be angry, Changjiang. We all saw it. Don't scare Yangshu."
"Yes, yes, I will still enjoy Jing'er's happiness in the future. Why are you talking about dying together? Bah! Bah! Bah!"
"The pigs are still outside. Hurry and drive them back. And repair the pigsty."
After being persuaded by the villagers, Yan Changjiang's expression eased up. He cleaned up the pigpen together with the people who stayed to help and Yang Shu. In fact, Yan Changjiang was more popular in the village than Yan Changhai's family. What he said today was not excessive. If it were someone else's family, he might have taken up a knife and fought with his own brother to the point of bloodshed.
Thinking back on it, today was pretty weird.
"Yang Shu, I think these pigs you raise are almost spirits. How did they know that Yang Lan was maliciously trying to poison them? Not only did they not eat a single bite of the food, but they also ran out and knocked Yang Lan down. If Yang Lan hadn't yelled, no one would have noticed what happened in the pigpen. Just imagine, if the pigs were really poisoned to death by him, and even the murderer couldn't be found, wouldn't that be unfair?"
"That's right. After what your pigs did, nothing can be covered up. Look how scared your pigs are today. You have to give them a good meal to comfort them."
Yang Shu said it was a coincidence, but he also murmured to Yan Changjiang after returning home. What happened today really scared him, but he was also surprised by the pig's performance. Could it be that the pigs he raised were really so smart? If they were really so smart, how could he bear to sell them in the end?
Yan Changjiang pondered, "It must be a coincidence. Think about it. Our pigs have never eaten food fed by anyone other than our own family. When has Yang Lan ever been there? Of course, these pigs will not give in if they see a stranger."
Yan Changjiang's anger has subsided a lot now. There is also a benefit to today's incident. He took the opportunity to break up with his eldest brother's family. In the future, he will never interfere in any affairs of Yan Dahai's family. The villagers can't say anything against it. It's Yan Dahai's family's fault for not being human.
He had seen through Yan Dahai's family. Although Yan Dahai had two sons, the personalities of those two sons were not good. The eldest was selfish and only cared about his own family. The second was still in prison, and would be a drag even when he was released in three years. If they didn't cut off the relationship, Yan Dahai's family would continue to harass them endlessly, making it impossible for Jing Ge'er to live a peaceful life.
"Is that true?" Yang Shu questioned.
"Could it be possible that it has really become a spirit?"
"It doesn't seem to be the case." Yang Shu rejected this answer himself.
"What else could it be?" Yan Changjiang said unhappily.
Yang Shu didn't know what answer he wanted. Thinking of Yang Lan's vicious behavior, he was worried, so he went to the mountain with Yan Changjiang to see the tea trees, worried that Yang Lan had also done something to the tea trees.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm. The tea trees on the mountain were all fine. Perhaps Yang Lan had not had time to take action.
Just as Yang Shu had thought, Yang Lan did not have time to take action. According to his original plan, he wanted to destroy Yang Shu's pigs and tea trees together to see how Yang Shu's family could get rich in the future. Why was it that his family had a hard time and Jiabao was arrested and sent to jail, while Yang Shu was showing off outside all day long?
Otherwise, everyone will suffer together, and only then can he feel balanced.
As a result, he ended up sending himself to jail.
Yuan Jing had just returned to the village on the weekend and had not yet entered the house when he heard the uncles and aunts in the village tell him about this matter. Of course Yuan Jing showed an extremely shocked and angry expression, and was comforted by his uncles and aunts.
Yuan Jing thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had made preparations in advance, otherwise if the pigs raised by his father were really destroyed, his father would probably be so angry that he would fall on the bed. Moreover, his father had been so decisive in demanding the police, and he also took the opportunity to distance himself from his uncle's family. It was a false alarm, and the result was still good.
Why did the pigs run out by themselves? Of course, Yuan Jing used his golden finger psychic heart. Last time he was resting at home, he went to the pig pen and communicated with them repeatedly. At school, he was still worried that these pigs could not understand what he meant and could not catch the bad guys.
Fortunately, they lived up to his psychic heart.
After returning home, Yan Changjiang and Yang Shu did not mention this matter to Yuan Jing. Only Yang Shu whispered a few words to Yuan Jing in private, saying that his father was very angry this time. He did not expect Yang Lan to be so vicious. It would be better if she was caught and went to jail with his son. No wonder Yan Jiabao was brought up like that. It turned out that the root of the problem was Yang Lan.
"I didn't want to tell you originally, for fear of affecting your studies, but you must have heard about this from other people after you came back, so I can only remind you in private. I am your father and dad at home, so you don't have to worry. After these two incidents, that family should be well behaved in the future."
"Don't worry, Dad. It won't affect my studies."
The next day he took a walk on the mountain. Even Yan Changjiang didn't know that there were two poisonous snakes lurking in the tea garden on the mountain. If Yan Changhai or Yang Lan wanted to harm the tea trees in the tea garden, these two snakes would let them taste the power of snake venom.
The tea garden and the pigs are not that important to Yuan Jing, but they mean something different to his father and father. If they were really destroyed, it would be a huge blow to them. Yuan Jing would not allow anyone to touch these two places.
After Yuan Jing left the tea garden, there was a rustling sound in the grass, and the two poisonous snakes retreated deeper into the garden, but they would still come out from time to time to patrol the tea garden.
Yang Lan's result came out very quickly. Although he attempted to poison someone intentionally, he was sentenced to five years in prison because the amount involved was too large, two years longer than his son.
After this incident, Yuan Jing went to talk to the village chief on his day off, and then Yanjia Village began to promote legal knowledge. Most villagers are ignorant of the law, and sometimes they don’t even know that what they have done has touched the bottom line of the law. Just like this time when Yang Lan was sentenced, many people in the village were shocked. In their opinion, the pigs raised by Yang Shu were not poisoned to death and no losses were caused, so why should he go to jail?
The village chief also thinks that popularizing the law is very important. Didn’t you see that in such a short period of time, two people from Yanjia Village were arrested and jailed, which made Yanjia Village lose face outside? In order to prevent similar situations from happening again in the future, it is very necessary to let everyone know what they can do and what they absolutely cannot do.
Yuan Jing also specially collected some legal stories and asked the village chief to broadcast them on the village radio. Until the end of the year when Yuan Jing came back from vacation, he could hear the villagers gathered together and talking. This time they were no longer gossiping about other people's private affairs, but talking about those legal education stories.
"The village chief has already said that this time's legal publicity was all proposed by Jing Ge'er, and those legal stories were also collected by Jing Ge'er from outside. They are all real things that happened. Jing Ge'er is worthy of being a top student in our Yanjia Village. This time, our village has been singled out for praise by the higher-ups."
"That's right. Because our village had two people in jail, we were laughed at by other villages. Now we are praised. Let's see who they will laugh at."
"So it's the Changjiang couple who are far-sighted. As long as Jing'er is willing to continue studying, they will support him to study no matter how much effort he puts in. If they had really listened to his grandpa and grandma and arranged a marriage for him early on, there would be no way he would be in the current situation."
