Lu Huaijiao took a closer look and, good heavens, these two people were none other than Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan, those two nasty kids from the Gu family.
What are they doing, sneaking around like that? Trying to steal something?
Lu Huaijiao realized this and was furious.
These two bastards actually dared to steal their grandparents' things. If they aren't disciplined properly, what will they be like when they grow up?
Lu Huaijiao was furious and didn't want those two bastards to get away with it.
But she now knows that, being pregnant, if she goes up and confronts those two bastards head-on, she will only suffer the consequences.
No, she has to outsmart her.
Lu Huaijiao's eyes darted around, and she thought of the slingshot that Gu Changzheng had made for her to use for hunting birds.
She turned and went back into the house, took out the slingshot, grabbed a few small stones from a cloth bag, and walked back to the door.
Outside He Meizhu's house, Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan had already opened the window. One of them was sitting on the floor like a meat stool, while the other was standing on someone's shoulders, peering their heads through the window.
"Higher, higher! I see the malted milk powder on the old hag's table. That must be the delicious treat that the fox spirit brought back for the old hag, just like Mother said."
"Lift me up a bit, I'll go get it so we can eat it later! That wretched old hag, just like Mother said, she's bewitched by a vixen now, she doesn't even care about our two grandsons anymore."
It was Gu Jindan who spoke.
He is the older of the two brothers, and his words are exactly like those of his biological mother, Xu Honglian.
Gu Baodan was lazy and greedy, but when he was with his brother, he was used to his brother making ideas and he would carry them out.
Hearing his brother's words, and thinking of the fragrant malted milk powder, Gu Baodan's mouth watered.
He swallowed hard several times, gritted his teeth, and supported himself on his thighs with both hands, slowly, slowly rising upwards!
"Higher, higher, Baodan, it'll be there soon, it'll be there soon!"
Gu Jindan stretched out his hand to reach for something on the table, his tone very excited.
Lu Huaijiao snapped out of her reverie after hearing their vicious words, pulled up her slingshot, and aimed at their buttocks.
With a few whooshing sounds, the pebbles flew out of the slingshot and hit Gu Baodan and Gu Jindan right on the buttocks, and two cries of pain rang out.
Gu Baodan fell to the ground in pain, and Gu Jindan, who was standing on his shoulder, also fell down and crashed to the ground.
"Ouch, my butt! Which bastard dared to ambush me?"
Gu Jindan screamed and scrambled to his feet, rubbing his buttocks. He picked up some pebbles from the ground and looked around.
No one was found.
Although the two brothers were lazy, greedy, and vicious, they were still young and their minds were certainly not as thoughtful as adults. After they had been hurling insults and cursing around and found no one, the two brothers assumed that the other party had been scared away.
The two felt a great sense of accomplishment!
He dusted himself off, ready to regroup and continue stealing.
But as soon as they turned around, two more pebbles flew over, this time hitting their arms.
"Which bastard ambushed me? If you've got the guts, come out here."
These two brothers don't like to study, and their parents didn't teach them anything good. Instead, they learned a disgusting attitude from some idle young people.
Still, no one agreed to their request.
The surroundings were quiet, and the two brothers began to realize that something was wrong.
They glanced at the fourth house's courtyard and found it to be very quiet, as if no one was there.
So it wasn't the fourth wife who did it?
So, could it be that there are spirits or monsters in the mountains and fields?
Realizing this, the two brothers began to try to escape. Just then, Xu Honglian came looking for them.
"Golden Egg, Treasure Egg, how are you? Why haven't you gone back yet?"
Xu Honglian's voice rang out.
If they don't go back soon, that old hag He Meizhu will be back, and then they won't be able to leave.
Of course, Xu Honglian didn't think there was anything wrong with taking some food from her own grandmother. If there was anything wrong, it was He Meizhu's fault.
In all her years, now that she's a mother herself, she's never met anyone like He Meizhu, who doesn't even show favoritism towards her own grandson.
Those who don't know the situation might think that the two of them aren't from a family.
Xu Honglian couldn't help but get angry when she thought about these things!
So when her two sons came to steal things, she not only didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but even felt that these things should belong to them.
Since that stingy old hag He Meizhu is unwilling to deliver it to them, then they'll just have to come and get it themselves.
It has to be said that Xu Honglian's thoughts are truly shameless.
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan rushed out from inside.
"Mother, there's a ghost!"
"Yes, there's a ghost!"
The two brothers grabbed Xu Honglian's hands and shouted loudly.
Xu Honglian's face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She was clearly flustered. Although she scolded the two children, she kept looking around.
In broad daylight, everyone in the family is at work, how could there be any ghosts?
"You can't say anything carelessly, or someone might overhear you." Although Xu Honglian was a reckless person, she also knew what not to say at this time.
Things like ghosts are a big taboo.
However, Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan insisted that they had seen a ghost.
These two are typical examples of people who feel guilty after doing something wrong.
