Feng Daqiang has been suffering terribly in bed for the past few months. His mother doesn't love him as much as before, and she takes out her frustrations on him whenever things don't go her way.
Even though he can walk now, he still limps.
His family no longer had the money to take him to see a doctor, and he was confined to a small room all day. His thoughts became increasingly extreme. He hated his mother for her inconsistent treatment of him, and he hated Ye Zhiyu even more. If she hadn't gone to the countryside, he wouldn't have had such wicked thoughts.
So when he heard the news that Lu Chen and Ye Zhiyu were getting married, he kept thinking about how to ruin her.
He wandered over there by chance that day and saw something hanging by a window. He recognized it immediately – it was a woman's underwear. Without thinking, he took it.
He didn't know if it belonged to Ye Zhiyu, but as long as she said it was hers, he didn't believe the real owner of the item would dare to come forward and claim it, because if she did, she would have to become her wife.
He doesn't claim it; it's up to him to decide whose it is.
Of course, Ye Zhiyu would never marry him, but those gossipy old women in the village hadn't been doing all this for nothing.
With Feng Daqiang's limited brain capacity, this is all he can calculate.
Seeing yet another small piece of clothing, I couldn't wait to grab it, without even considering that I'd already lost two pieces, so why did I keep hanging it up there?
There was no movement inside the spire, so he quickly took it down, glanced at the window, and thinking of the sleeping female educated youth inside, his lust got the better of him, and he gently pushed it.
There was no progress.
Ye Zhiyu saw his movements through the grass, and spiritual power appeared in her hands.
After much hesitation, Feng Daqiang gave up; he dared not gamble.
Watching him slowly walk away, Ye Zhiyu told Lu Chen to wait in the room for a while while she went out to find Liu Shengnan and the others.
He took the kerosene lamp and went outside, where he saw Wu Wenwen and Zhou Xue also come out of the door.
Enter the house.
Liu Shengnan was annoyed. "I made a small hole in the window paper beforehand, but I still couldn't see who he was. I only knew that he was a cripple."
Wu Wenwen's eyes were filled with worry.
"I saw it." Ye Zhiyu said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, Shengnan, you've been implicated because of me. You know that person too, it's Feng Daqiang."
Upon hearing that it was Feng Daqiang, Liu Shengnan immediately flew into a rage. "What does he want? Wasn't he taught a lesson last time? He's barely able to walk and he's already causing trouble again."
"Why are you apologizing? He's a scumbag. If it wasn't me, it could have been someone else. The fault lies with him, not you. What we need to think about now is how to deal with him. If I don't get my revenge, I'm not Liu Shengnan."
Ye Zhiyu's eyes darted around, and Liu Shengnan could tell at a glance that she had a plan, so she looked at her eagerly.
"Doesn't he like stealing women's underwear? So what if he steals from someone else? He can steal from anyone, can't he?"
"You mean..." Wu Wenwen and the others exchanged glances and burst out laughing.
"Zhiyu, that was a brilliant move."
They began their operation the next day.
Lu Chen was sent to find a child and go to the Feng family to tell the mother and child that the brigade leader was looking for them.
Let's lure them all out first.
As they left, Zhou Xue kept watch while the other four went inside to find something.
They didn't have the ration coupons to buy a lock, so they just used a bolt and got in easily.
The house was very dilapidated, with only two rooms, and it was easy to tell which room belonged to Feng Daqiang.
Everyone wore gloves, afraid of directly touching the things in the room and catching some unclean disease.
They found Liu Shengnan's undergarments under the mattress, as well as the fake one.
Of course, I couldn't keep it. I put it in a bag and took it with me. I'll find a place to burn it later.
Wang Qing also found what she wanted in Granny Feng's room—the kind of vest and shorts style—and took them all, stuffing them into Feng Daqiang's room.
He restored the room to its original state, closed the door, and left. Just as he turned the corner, he heard Granny Feng's sharp and sarcastic voice coming from the other side of the wall.
"What kind of person is he? Just because he's a brigade leader, he thinks he's on top of the world. He even called us over specifically to warn us not to cause trouble during the spring plowing season. Bah!"
Feng Daqiang was naturally unhappy to be scolded like that, but he was even more annoyed by Granny Feng's incessant nagging.
"Alright, what's the point of talking behind someone's back? Why were you so quiet just now? Your head was practically hanging to the ground."
After saying that, he left her and strode home.
"Hey, you bastard, is this how you talk to me? I've wasted my time raising you."
Actually, she felt a little guilty about her behavior these days, but when she thought that he was her son, and that she should go even if it meant his death, she felt justified in doing so.
The people on the other side of the wall slowly retreated.
Ye Zhiyu: "Wait here for a moment, the show is about to begin."
——
As soon as Granny Feng and her son left the Lu family home, Lu Weimin got up and dressed, leaving Lu Ze at home to take care of Tao Qingtang and Lu Jun.
The couple and Lu Chen went out.
The three actors were truly superb, switching between expressionless faces and panicked anxiety in an instant, their steps hurried.
On the way, we happened to meet a group of women who were on their way to Granny Feng's house to embroider shoe patterns. These women were known for their gossip.
"Hey, isn't this the brigade commander? Brigade commander, where are you rushing off with your wife and son?"
Lu Weimin sounded impatient and somewhat anxious, saying, "I don't have time to talk to you."
They left with Lu Chen, but Tian Hongfang stayed behind.
"Please don't be offended, sisters-in-law, but my family is really in a state of turmoil."
The group of people who were initially unhappy with Lu Weimin's attitude suddenly became interested, as they loved seeing others suffer.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Everyone has their emergencies sometimes. What happened?"
“Sigh, it’s not like we’re marrying Ye Zhiqing. You know, we’re climbing the social ladder, so the dowry is bound to be low. We need to have three turns and a watch, and even thirty-two legs to cover it. We’ve already emptied our savings for our own funerals. Lu Chen finally bought a watch, and he just got it back today, and now it’s gone. Tell me, how can we not be anxious?”
Firstly, it showed how much they valued Ye Zhiyu; secondly, it let them know that all the family's money was used to get married, so that no one would try to take advantage of their wealth later.
I was genuinely shocked to hear that their family was preparing such a large dowry for Ye Zhiyu. And when I heard that they were even taking out their savings for their funeral, I couldn't help but feel sorry for them. What elderly couple doesn't want to leave themselves some money for the future?
After that, the brigade leader and his wife could only rely on their children.
Moreover, with such a large dowry given to the second son's wife, the eldest son's wife will definitely not be happy, and there will be a lot of trouble later.
This neutralized their initial jealousy that their family was able to marry Ye Zhiyu. At that time, they felt a pang of envy and wondered if their family had been incredibly lucky.
Looking at it now, it's better not to burn the incense.
"So you're going to call the police? That's not right, you don't take this road to leave the village."
"Oh dear, didn't Granny Feng and her son just come to our house? The husband said he'd go ask them if they'd seen anything?"
Is there going to be some excitement? I have to join in!
"Really? Well, we're going to her house anyway, let's go together."
Lu Weimin, who was in front, turned around and urged, "Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"
