"Boss, go to the Li family and tell them to leave two people at home to keep an eye on things, so that no bad guys can sneak in and cause trouble."
"Eldest daughter-in-law, it's a minor matter if someone in the kitchen sneaks something back home; don't keep too close an eye on them. Anyway, we know the exact amount of meat and vegetables; if too much is missing, the feast won't look good. Just keep your eyes on the kitchen doorway and make sure no one sneaks in."
The eldest son and his wife quickly walked away, and Zhao Youcai then looked at the second son and his wife.
“The eldest son’s wife is looking after things in the kitchen, so there shouldn’t be anything serious. You two go and keep an eye on the well. No matter what happens, someone must stay by the well.”
Putting everything else aside, the second son's fiery temper and muscular physique are definitely intimidating.
As for the fourth son and his wife, Zhao Youcai originally had little hope for them.
However, upon closer reflection, although the couple were not very brave, they were very careful and had keen observation skills.
It would be best to have them keep an eye out for people with ulterior motives; they'd definitely be faster than us.
Before Zhao Youcai could speak, the fourth brother expressed his opinion first.
"Father, don't worry, my wife and I will definitely take care of Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law and make sure that neither of them will have any problems."
After all, today is Zhao Jianhua's wedding day, and Zhao Chunhua, as the eldest sister, will definitely have to take leave to come back.
Zhao Youcai didn't specifically ask someone to call her over because he was worried that seeing the Sun family would bring back painful memories.
A person who has been tormented for years will definitely feel intimidated when they encounter someone who has been bullying them all along.
Zhao Youcai still wanted to protect Zhao Chunhua, and didn't want to see her pretending to be strong in front of others, but hiding under the covers in fear and trembling with anxiety in private.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chunhua walked over with a smile, and what she said surprised Zhao Youcai.
"No one knows the Sun family better than me, so I'll handle some things."
Zhao Chunhua was indeed very afraid of the Sun family, after all, she had been abused for so many years.
So Zhao Chunhua kept in mind when the Sun family members were arrested and when they would be released.
Today was so unusual. My father called my younger brother and his wives to explain things, but he left me out. It must be because of the Sun family's affairs.
The father is doing this for his own good, how could he not be grateful?
But the responsibilities that she should bear are ones she must shoulder as the eldest sister in the family.
In other words, if it weren't for their own and their children's future, the Zhao family wouldn't have needed to get involved at all.
If I were to remain in the Sun family, enduring beatings and scoldings, and living a bleak future with my children, then I would be safe from any mishaps, given the Zhao family's joyous occasion today.
Her younger brothers treated her very well; how could she not be moved?
So even if her heart was pounding like a drum and she was trembling with fear, she still had to try to calm down, do what she was supposed to do, and take on the responsibilities she was supposed to take.
Zhao Youcai gently patted Zhao Chunhua's shoulder; this silly girl really made people feel sorry for her.
However, Zhao Chunhua was right about one thing: the person who understands the Sun family best is Zhao Chunhua herself, who crawled out of the Sun family's hellhole.
"Don't take any risks. If you see anyone, come back to me immediately. Your brothers and I will definitely protect you."
I'm really afraid that Zhao Chunhua will settle all her old and new grudges and recklessly rush over to fight those bastards from the Sun family.
Although Zhao Chunhua doesn't look as thin as before, the losses she's suffered over the years are real, and she's still somewhat frail.
Even though the Sun family had been in jail for so many days, they had only lost a little weight; they still had their strength.
Furthermore, those people wouldn't feel that they had done anything that would anger heaven and earth; on the contrary, they would feel wronged.
A person's resentment intensifies, and their ferocity doubles. If they were to clash, Zhao Chunhua would be crippled if not killed.
She was a sensible girl, but also a pitiful one. Of course, Zhao Youcai wouldn't let her fend for herself; he would protect her if he could.
"Yes, don't worry, Dad, I know."
Zhao Chunhua reached out and wiped her eyes, moved. Today was the third son's big day, and she couldn't cry on such a good day; it would be taboo.
Captain Qi was, after all, a seasoned veteran with many years of experience in handling cases. He had been paying attention to everything around him, and naturally, he hadn't missed Zhao Youcai's plan.
Suddenly he understood why Zhao Youcai, an honest and simple farmer, had been able to build his business from scratch to this point.
Not only is he quick-witted, but he is also meticulous in his work.
...
On the other side.
Wang Guilan, along with Sun Tiezhu and Sun Tiedan, headed towards Zhao Youcai's house in three different directions.
Wang Guilan originally planned for the three of them to stick together and walk forward, but Sun Tiezhu shook his head and said that this would not work, because if they were discovered, no one would have a chance to make a move.
In order to ensure that Zhao Youcai and the entire Zhao Family Village would pay the price, Wang Guilan gritted her teeth and had Sun Tiedan break down the rat poison, which was then divided equally among the three of them before they took action.
Wang Guilan was getting on in years, so naturally she couldn't run as fast as two strong men.
Completely unaware that Zhao Youcai had already made preparations and arranged everything, just waiting for them to come to him one by one.
Sun Tiedan was a little more shrewd than the other two, and didn't rush in recklessly.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Sun Tiezhu had successfully infiltrated Zhao Youcai's courtyard without being noticed, and followed him inside.
Little did they know that all of this had been observed by the Zhao family, and that someone was already secretly following them.
Not only the Zhao family, but Captain Qi also brought along a few junior police officers who had a good relationship with Zhao Youcai when he came to the wedding banquet.
The Zhao family was accompanied by professional police officers; all they needed to do was catch them red-handed.
Sun Tiezhu went straight to the well in the backyard. He hadn't forgotten how Zhao Youcai had boasted to him years ago when he married Zhao Chunhua that they didn't have to go to the well at the village entrance to fetch water, and that they had their own water at home.
Sun Tiedan went straight to the kitchen, partly to mix rat poison into the cooked food, and partly to sneak a few pieces of meat and some rice and flour home.
What's that saying again? "If you don't take it, it's a waste."
He was sent to a prison by the Zhao family, and he had to make up for the weight he had lost by starving at Zhao Youcai's house.
If you've poisoned rats, you have to run fast and not be discovered by anyone. So it's safer to take the raw meat and rice home.
Take these home and eat them slowly; they'll last a long time. Who knows, I might even be able to use these goodies to trick a wife into coming home with me.
When Wang Guilan finally arrived at a spot not far from Zhao Youcai's house, she heard no commotion inside and was immediately delighted.
I reckon those two kids are doing just fine; they've probably already put out the rat poison.
Instead of taking action, Wang Guilan decided to find a table where half of the food had already been eaten, ensuring there would be no problems with the dishes, and squeeze in to have a big meal while waiting to see what would happen.
