When Wang Tieniu realized what was going on, he was first taken aback, then laughed angrily: "Well, well! Ma Jinbao! Ma Chunmei! So it was you two thieves! Coming to steal our meat in the middle of the night?"
Several kerosene lamps at the educated youth settlement suddenly lit up with a "poof".
The dim light from the kerosene lamp shone directly on the disheveled Ma siblings.
"My God! This...aren't these Ma Jinbao and Ma Chunmei?"
"Oh my goodness! How did it get like this?"
"What are you doing in our yard in the middle of the night?"
"Look! What's that on the ground? Broken glass? And a bucket?"
The chatter erupted instantly, even more lively than the barking of the dogs earlier.
Wang Tieniu was the first to jump out, his voice booming: "What are you doing? What else could you be doing! Meat thief!"
"Are you two some kind of rat spirit? You're eyeing my brother Shanzi's bear meat, coming to steal it in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid your hands will rot!"
Du Jianshan, carrying a lantern, took two steps forward, the light shining directly on their pale faces. His voice wasn't loud, but it was chillingly cold: "Passing by? Passing by my yard in the middle of the night? And carrying a knife?"
He gestured with his chin toward the small knife that Ma Jinbao had dropped on the ground: "Was this knife specially made for me to cut meat?"
"Bullshit!" Ma Jinbao clutched his bleeding foot, wincing in pain, but remained defiant.
"Who stole it? Who saw it! We just... we just couldn't sleep and came out for a walk!"
"Who knew this godforsaken place was full of traps! And you even set dogs on people! Du Jianshan, are you doing this on purpose?!"
"Now you want to falsely accuse us of stealing meat? No way!"
Ma Chunmei was bitten on the buttocks by a dog, her pants were torn, and she felt ashamed, in pain, and angry.
Upon hearing this, his stubbornness truly flared up.
She disregarded her image, pointing at Du Jianshan, her voice so shrill it could pierce the night sky:
"Yes! It was you, you heartless bastard, who deliberately framed us! You didn't share the meat with my siblings, and you even hung it up here to show off!"
"Stop with these underhanded tricks! If it weren't for your lousy flesh, would I have been bitten by a dog?"
"My ass... Waaah... My innocence! Du Jianshan! You owe me! Pay my medical bills! Pay my pants back!"
"This is intentional assault! This is persecution of female comrades! I'm going to sue you! You've disrupted unity! I'll put you in jail!"
She got more and more excited as she talked, snot and tears streaming down her face along with the dirt, looking like she had suffered a great injustice.
"Pah!" Wang Tieniu almost spat in her face.
"Ma Chunmei! Your mouth is like it was fished out of a cesspool! It stinks worse than bear dung!"
"You were caught red-handed stealing, and you still have the nerve to turn around and accuse me? To claim innocence?"
"Even a dog wouldn't want someone like you! If it bites your butt, it's because the dog is doing a good deed for the people!"
Du Jianshan was both angry and amused: "Ha, Ma Chunmei, did a donkey kick your brain or get your brain slammed in a door? Do I have to report to you and guard against you eyeing the meat I cut myself?"
"You're just being impulsive and stepped on the glass, bumped into the rope, and got chased by the dog. What does that have to do with me? Blame it on your own insatiable greed!"
She really thinks she's a fairy!
This woman is neither as beautiful as Ayiguli, nor as kind-hearted.
I really don't know how we survived in the educated youth settlement!
He took a step forward, his eyes like knives: "Pay me money? Fine! Pay me for my losses first!"
