"Yes, if she comes to cause trouble again, I will definitely teach her a lesson!" Shen Zhiyi said indignantly.
…
The store was preheated for a whole day, and the family went back in the evening.
The setting sun dyed the big banyan tree next to the store with a layer of golden color. The horizon was filled with red sunset glow, illuminating half of the sky.
Slowly, the light gradually dimmed, the sky became completely dark, and countless stars twinkled. After dinner, the villagers watched TV for a while and then went to bed.
By midnight, the entire village was silent, with only the sounds of insects and frogs in the fields, and complete silence.
Just then, two sneaky figures sneaked out of a house in the village and came to the vicinity of the store.
The dim lights on the roadside revealed their faces, and it turned out to be Aunt Zhao and her husband Li Dazhuang.
When Aunt Zhao went back today, she complained to Li Dazhuang, saying how glamorous the convenience store was and how many people came to support it, and why such a grand convenience store didn't belong to their family?
The more the couple thought about it, the more sour and jealous they became. Plus, he was not an honest person in normal times, so naturally they began to have evil thoughts.
They were of the same character, otherwise they wouldn't have stayed together for so long after getting married. After they closed the door and talked for a while, they thought about whether they could sneak into the store at night when no one was around and steal something. That ice machine would be great!
I heard it was imported from abroad and is very expensive. I should be able to make a lot of money if I sell it.
Even if you can't steal it, you can use it to make a few glasses of ice water to cool down.
The couple calculated the time and thought it was the middle of the night and most people in the village were asleep, so they sneaked out of the house.
There is a wall outside the convenience store, which is quite high. The door is an iron door and is locked and cannot be opened.
Li Dazhuang carefully observed the surroundings and said to Aunt Zhao, "I will squat down and you can step on my shoulders to climb up. When you are inside, you can open the door, okay?"
"Okay!" Aunt Zhao was full of confidence. She spat into her hands and rubbed them, then urged Li Dazhuang to squat down quickly so that she could go up.
Li Dazhuang squatted down, and Aunt Zhao couldn't wait to step on his shoulders and climb up. She climbed up the wall with both hands, flipped her slightly plump body inward, and went in.
She was delighted and proud. She quickly ran over to open the door, let Li Dazhuang in, and then they groped their way towards the store together.
The door of the convenience store was also closed. Li Dazhuang took out a thin wire and, just like what was shown in TV dramas, inserted the wire into the keyhole to see if he could pry the lock open.
However, after he tried for a long time, the lock didn't move. Aunt Zhao looked left and right to let him know. Seeing that he hadn't opened the door for a long time, she couldn't help but complain, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you say that you can open the lock with wire? Why can't you open it after all your efforts?"
"Don't rush me. The more you rush me, the more nervous I get!" Li Dazhuang was a thief for the first time, and he felt so guilty that sweat broke out on his forehead. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead and continued to pick the lock.
Another ten minutes passed, but still no success.
Aunt Zhao got impatient and snatched the wire from his hand. "You idiot, you can't even open the lock after all this time. It's useless. Let me do it!"
"Come if you want." Li Dazhuang curled his lips and gave his seat to her.
Aunt Zhao started to pick the lock, and the two of them stared at the padlock. However, as they were prying, they suddenly felt a gust of cold wind behind them, which made them shiver violently!
