Chapter 192 Setting up a trap
On the way, I called my brother-in-law and Xiaolin and told them I would be home around 8:30.
My brother-in-law said he was waiting at home. Xiaolin said she would come over at nine o'clock. Xiaolin was very smart. Since the main force moved to the provincial capital, she had not come here for dinner.
As soon as I entered the door, I said to my brother-in-law, "Let's take a look at the tail first."
Weiba has already fallen asleep. Looking at his silly face sleeping soundly, I said, "It's so fast! He's already eight months old. He will call me uncle during the Chinese New Year."
Back in the living room, I told him what happened at my master's home.
"Our store will also be demolished. It should be in July or August next year."
The nanny brought two cups of tea and washed some fruit, placing it on the coffee table. I took a closer look at her and said to my brother-in-law, "This girl is good."
My brother-in-law nodded and said, "How's it going over there?"
I said, "We could talk about this for three days and three nights, but I can sum it up in one sentence: I'm busy but happy."
As we were talking, Xiaolin came back.
My brother-in-law stood up knowing what was going on: "I'll go get your sister."
Xiaolin and I went into the study.
They sat down. She asked, "Why did you come back so suddenly?"
"I miss you."
She rolled her eyes at me.
I told him about what happened at my master's home.
She was a little worried: "You should invite your brother-in-law to go with you. Lan Xin's mother is very powerful. The neighbors are all afraid of her."
"The neighbors are all indigenous people, old neighbors. Are they afraid of her?"
"Yes, last time there was a dispute with the restaurant across the street, she rushed in and started smashing things. The owner pushed her, and she lay on the ground, saying she had a headache and couldn't remember anything before. She had a head injury and lost her memory. The restaurant owner had no choice but to compensate her with 3,000 yuan."
"I'm pretending."
"There's no point pretending. The doctor couldn't prove she didn't have a headache. She said she had a head injury and couldn't remember anything from the past. She went to the restaurant every day to make trouble. The restaurant hired a middleman, and they paid her three thousand yuan in compensation before she stopped."
"Just like the woman next door in my hometown: stupid and evil."
Xiao Lin reminded him, "You really have to be careful tomorrow. What if she falls to the ground and says you hit her? Her head hurts even more. You won't be able to explain it to her."
I shuddered, to be on guard against her doing this.
After pondering for a while, I said to Xiaolin, "In that case, I have to make preparations tonight, otherwise I will suffer tomorrow."
"What preparations are you making?"
"Come with me to the small restaurant. The owner's surname is Liu. I usually call him Second Uncle."
Xiaolin looked at me.
"Come with me, you can learn some skills from Brother Shanhong."
She hit me on the shoulder and said, "You are so conceited!"
I drove to the door of Liu's Restaurant and knocked hard. Boss Liu opened the door and said, "Hey, Shanhong, what brings you here?"
"This is my girlfriend Xiaolin. She told me that you suffered a loss last time, so I'm here to help you get revenge."
He was skeptical and took us up to the second-floor living room. His wife, Second Aunt, came over to pour tea and pass cigarettes, saying to me, "Shanhong, when you were here, you were so friendly with our neighbors.
After you left, everyone was afraid of this evil woman. Once, when someone came to Youranju to look for you, she actually said, "Who is Wan Shanhong? I don't know her."
I picked up the cigarette and my uncle lit it for me. I took a puff and said, "Second Aunt, please sit down. I'll help you treat her."
"You want to treat her? After all, she belongs to your master..."
"Listen to me and you will know why I want to cure her."
I told her that Master had asked her to move a month ago, but she refused, and that Master's wife had no choice but to come back tomorrow.
The second uncle said, "The last time Shangli came back, she had a big fight with her aunt and went back crying."
Second Aunt said, "She won't leave at all. It's true that she will drive your master's wife away."
"How can she chase it?"
"She collapsed, and no doctor could cure her. Then she insisted on paying a large sum of money. Your master couldn't afford it now, so she refused to leave."
The second uncle gnashed his teeth and said, "You must not hit her tomorrow. If you do, this yard will really belong to her."
I laughed so hard that the couple was confused. Even Xiaolin looked at me strangely.
After laughing, I asked, "Is there anyone on the street who hasn't had an argument with Lan Xin's mother?"
My second uncle said, "My sister. She married the guy next door to the barber shop."
I knew everyone on this street. His sister was called Qiuju. I said, "Call Qiuju over here now."
She made a phone call and Qiuju came after a while.
I told her that I wanted to drive Lan Xin's family away.
Qiu Ju kept shaking her head and said, "It's very difficult. You try to reason with her, but she won't listen. You fight her, and she falls to the ground. Just prepare a pile of money, because her illness can't be cured anyway. When you're not around, she'll go to your rice noodle shop and make trouble."
Even Xiaolin got nervous and pushed me quietly.
I said, "I have a plan. Let's set up a trap. Please cooperate with me tomorrow." Then I told him the plan.
When Old Liu and his wife, as well as Qiu Ju, heard this, they clapped their hands in admiration. Second Aunt said, "Shanhong, I've given up on the money I can't get back. But your recipe lets me curse her ancestors in front of all the neighbors. I feel good about it."
Second Uncle said, "Shanhong, you are wise. Otherwise, even if you lost money, she would still be yelling at you."
Qiu Ju said bitterly: "Yishanhong, she will be in the wrong tomorrow and can only listen to her sister-in-law scolding her."
I said, "Let's follow our plan. Tomorrow morning, mobilize the neighbors. Then, we'll work together to silence her, then scold her thoroughly and expose her past. She won't dare to act like a scoundrel again. Then I'll kick this family out of the house."
Second Aunt said, "I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Qiu Ju's eyes lit up: "Thank goodness you're back. Only you can defeat her."
After leaving Liu's house, I drove back to Fengqing Lake and called Sister Li. I told her about how her aunt had caused Boss Liu's family to lose face, and that they had lost their wife and paid for the war.
Sister Li said, "I know about this. I'm afraid she'll fall and my mom and I will have to go home in disgrace. So, my dad insisted on asking you to come back."
I said, "Let's meet and discuss it. I have a solution."
Sister Li said, "Brother, it all depends on you. You are not my younger brother, but you are better than my biological brother."
When I got home, my sister finished her night shift. I said hello to her, called my brother-in-law into another room, told him my plan, and asked him to go with me tomorrow.
My brother-in-law said, "The most evil woman in the world has met the most cowardly man in the world. Lan Xin's father is also cruel. I don't know where he got the news that the residents can also split the relocation compensation. He doesn't even care about his own sister."
I said, "They don't just want to split the relocation money, they want to take over the house."
Back in my room, Xiaolin sat there, feeling a little depressed.
I asked, "What's wrong? Your expression changed so suddenly."
She stared at me and said, "Wan Shanhong, I'm a little scared of you."
"Afraid of me?"
She nodded: "You are so scheming. If I were to be sold out by you one day, I might even help you count the money like a fool."
I laughed out loud.
"To deal with the devil, you must use the devil's methods. To treat your comrades, you must be as warm as spring. I have good news for you. I have found a way out for Shitou."
"What's the way out?"
I told him in detail about sending Yifan to learn acupuncture and massage, teaching Shitou, and letting Shitou open an acupuncture and massage shop in the future.
She didn't speak for a long time. At this time, my phone rang. It was Captain Gu calling.
She first asked if anything serious happened. I said nothing serious, and then she started talking about how Baiyun said I could turn into wine, and the three girls asked why I was leaving...
I stood up and walked out. Xiaolin went to take a shower.
Gu said that this writer Bai was drunk and wanted to go singing, and he had just sent him to the hotel.
This phone call took a really long time.
After hanging up the phone, I went to the upstairs bathroom to take a shower. When I returned to the room, Xiaolin was already in bed, so I got in.
She stared at me and asked, "Which woman called you?"
I knew I couldn't hide it, and women have a very sensitive sixth sense, so I briefly told him about the program arrangement with Captain Gu.
She pounced on me and bit me on the shoulder.
I thought it was my kiss, but she actually bit me. It hurt so much that I kept shouting, "You're crazy, you're crazy."
"Let me teach you a lesson. If you dare to betray me, this is the result."
I looked at the bloody teeth marks on my shoulder and said, "I always thought you were a lady. But you're actually a beast."
