Chapter 24 Chapter 24 (2/4)



Where is Qin Zhao...

Time ticked by, and, seemingly due to my intense fear and nervousness, my body began to feel dehydrated more quickly than ever before. The little koi's tail flapped gently behind him, and I felt my breathing becoming increasingly difficult.

But he still didn't dare to move and waited quietly.

Just then, another voice was heard outside the door.

"What are you doing?"

The little koi's eyes lit up; Qin Zhao was back.

Outside the house, the four or five strange men in front of the door turned around and saw the person behind them clearly.

Qin Zhao stood there, his eyes clearly indifferent. When his gaze swept over those people, several strong men felt inexplicably frightened.

But they quickly came to their senses.

These people were dressed differently from ordinary farmers. The materials of their clothes were high-quality, and they were obviously from wealthy families.

They looked at each other, and someone stepped out from the crowd: "Are you Qin Zhao?"

Qin Zhao: "It's me."

"Someone reported you for secretly storing koi fish. We need to go in and search."

Qin Zhao did not answer.

Seeing that he remained silent, the man who spoke regained some confidence and said, "If you don't say anything, you agree, right? Don't tell me you haven't seen the notice for the bounty on the koi. You found the koi but didn't return it on time. Are you planning to keep it for yourself?"

Qin Zhao said, "If you're talking about that little red fish, I did keep it for a while, but after its injuries healed, I released it. I'm afraid you won't find it here."

"He's lying!" a voice came from the crowd.

Qin Zhao turned his head and saw that it was the fourth son of the Chen family.

The fourth son of the Chen family was still very young, with a thin and small figure and dark skin. There were quite a few people gathered in front of Qin Zhao's house, and the fourth son of the Chen family had been among the crowd before, so Qin Zhao had not noticed his presence just now.

Chen Laosi said confidently: "The fish is in the house. I saw it with my own eyes last night!"

Qin Zhao's eyes moved slightly.

It turned out that he was the one last night.

Chen Laosi also looked back at Qin Zhao, feeling a little pleased in his heart.

He was not unaware of the fact that his wife had nearly killed his mother by changing her medicine. He was a coward, spending his days drinking and having fun, with no money-making skills. If it weren't for his wife managing the household, he wouldn't be where he is today.

So he turned a blind eye to the matter of changing the medicine. After all, it would be beneficial for him to divide the family property once the old lady died.

But unexpectedly, this person disrupted the situation.

His wife is still imprisoned in the government office. Because of this incident, he only got a small piece of land and a dilapidated house when the family property was divided.

He can't do any farm work, and now he can't get married. He doesn't know how he will survive in the future.

His life was like this, but this sickly man was still busy building houses in the village, and his life was getting better day by day.

Chen Laosi was so jealous that he was tormented and thought about how to take revenge every day.

If he doesn't have a good life, this person won't have an easy life either.

These days, Chen Laosi has been walking around Qin Zhao's house.

The people in the small mountain village were simple and honest, and no matter whether they were at home or not, they rarely locked their doors. But only Qin Zhao's house had its doors and windows locked all day long, as if there was something unsightly inside.
