Chapter 71 The Annoying Old Lady Goes Offline
"Oh no! My house has been ransacked!" Liu Nian immediately ran outside, wailing, "The secret recipe is gone!"
When everyone arrived, they saw Liu Nian slumped in Su Xu's arms, looking devastated, constantly wiping her eyes, her usual radiance nowhere to be seen.
"You've lost the secret formula, how are you going to open a factory?" Zhang Suzhen was anxious and frustrated. "Now everything is ruined!"
"Let's call the police right away!" the crowd exclaimed.
The old woman hiding in the crowd was filled with smugness; it seemed the things she had stolen were real!
The money will be in my hands soon!
Quietly slipping out of the crowd, the old lady headed straight for the educated youth settlement.
If Liu Nian calls the police, they might be able to trace it back to her, so she needs to slip away first.
Su Zhimeng was fast asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed) when the old lady came in and started yelling, "Zhimeng, get up and come with me! From now on, I'll make sure you eat meat every day!"
"What?" Upon hearing that there was meat to eat, Su Zhimeng immediately sprang up from the kang (heated brick bed).
The old lady was anxious. She looked around and realized there was nothing left to take from the house. She quickly took Su Zhimeng's hand and sneaked out of the village through a side path.
After getting the money from the young man, she would take Su Zhimeng back to her hometown.
The old lady was happily planning that she might be able to build a big house, and that her future would be full of hope.
"I think you've heard, haven't you? Liu Nian lost the secret recipe." The old lady said to the young man with a beaming smile, "I stole it!"
The young man excitedly took the paper the old woman gave him; the news of Liu Nian losing her folk remedy had already spread. It seemed this was true. The young man examined it carefully for a few moments, but couldn't make heads or tails of it.
"We need to check the goods. If they're real, we'll pay you." The young man stuffed the note into his pocket and said, "Just wait."
How many more days do we have to wait? The old lady was in a dilemma. She couldn't go back to Jiangjuntun, and she had no money. For the next few days, she could only keep taking Su Zhimeng into the haystacks, making do with each night as long as she could.
Unexpectedly, it started raining!
The old lady and Su Zhimeng were soaked to the bone. Su Zhimeng cried out, ignoring everything else, "Waaah, I want to eat meat! I want to eat chicken legs! I want to go home!"
"You child, can't you listen to me!" The old lady lost her patience and slapped Su Zhi a few times. "Wait a little longer, we'll have everything in the future. If you don't listen, I'll throw you to the wolves!"
The old woman's fierce appearance frightened Su Zhimeng so much that he trembled, wiped his face, wiped away his snot and tears, pouted and looked at her, dissatisfied but not daring to say anything more.
After waiting for several days, the young man finally showed up. The old woman immediately crawled out of the haystack, covered in straw dust, and asked, "When are you going to give me the money?"
The young man's eyes widened in fury, "What money?! The stuff is fake, fake! I was hoping you'd give me money!"
He took the things upstairs, only to be berated by his boss, followed by punches and kicks, as punishment for his poor performance.
Isn't this all the old lady's fault? If she hadn't come here to swindle and cheat, would he have been beaten?
"I'll teach you a lesson today!" The young man was a thug, and he didn't care about respecting the elderly or caring for the young. He raised his fist directly at the old lady.
"Ouch, ouch, stop hitting me!" The old woman lay on the ground, crying and wailing, but she couldn't understand it. It couldn't be fake. Liu Nian had already said he was going to call the police.
The things are gone! She stole them! What happened?
Su Zhimeng was so frightened that he trembled and didn't dare to utter a sound.
After venting his anger, the young man kicked Su Zhimeng hard in the buttocks before leaving.
The old lady struggled to her feet, but something just didn't feel right.
Unfortunately, that unlucky kid Su Zhimeng kept asking for meat.
"You said you'd give me meat! Give me meat!" Su Zhimeng started throwing a tantrum, lying on the ground and refusing to get up.
The old lady was filled with regret. Why did she have to look for this thing? She really wanted to leave Su Zhimeng there and turn around and leave, but then she thought that he was, after all, her own bloodline, and she couldn't bear to do it.
"Come on, I'll take you back to General's Village. There will be meat to eat when you get back." The old lady limped along, pulling Su Zhimeng towards General's Village.
