Chapter 168: Science God Stick VS Koi Yun Fairy 17 ┃ A **** for tat (1/2)
It was almost dusk when Zhuang Li brought his family back to Luoxia Village. The green mountains, green water, and blue sky had lost their original colors, and were dyed golden red by the sunset. The whole world is immersed in a warm atmosphere, and the flow of time seems to slow down.
The second son of Zhuang and Liu Chunhua were half leaning on the carriage, looking at the magnificent scenery on the horizon with satisfaction, with a peaceful and happy expression on their faces.
Liu Chunhua took her husband's hand and looked at it carefully, and sighed contentedly: "Dad, my son, I'll go home today, and I won't have to poke your blisters on the way."
Zhuang's second child hurriedly looked at the two children sitting in the car, and gave his wife a "don't talk nonsense" wink.
It turned out that every day when she finished work and went home, Liu Chunhua would take out her sewing kit and poke off the blisters that Zhuang Lao Er made when he was carrying the goods, just to make the illusion that Zhuang Lao Er did not work hard.
When Zhuang Lao Er went back to the dock to carry the goods, he brought back blood blisters all over his hands and feet, which looked very terrifying. The two children were so frightened that they refused to go to school the next day after being beaten to death, which gave the couple a headache. After that, the couple developed the habit of hiding their hard work before going home.
They are willing to give everything for their two sons.
Liu Chunhua immediately changed the subject, pretending that nothing happened just now, but their conversation had already been overheard by the two brothers sitting in the carriage.
Zhuang Li didn't know the previous situation, so he didn't feel deeply, but Zhuang Jiuge turned his head away and quietly wiped the corner of his eyes.
Over the years, parents have worked really hard for them to study. If the two brothers can't stand up, the hopes of their parents all these years will be in vain, all their efforts will be in vain, and the family will lose all hope.
In that case, life would be an endless torment for them.
If the eldest brother didn't come, what would happen to the banker's second room, Zhuang Jiuge couldn't even think about it. So he silently accepted all the changes, and did not hate the new big brother in front of him.
In addition to being sad, he was even grateful, thanking his eldest brother for bringing hope to his family.
Unconsciously, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, and Zhuang Li jumped out of the carriage and said, "Father and mother, little brother, you go back first, and I will go around the village."
"Be sure to come back before it gets dark," Zhuang Lao Er said worriedly.
"Big brother, I'll accompany you." Zhuang Jiuge followed step by step.
So the four of them split into two groups, all the way home, and wandering aimlessly in the village all the way.
Zhuang Li carried an oiled paper bag and walked towards the big banyan tree where the children gathered. When he got close, he poured the candy in the paper bag into his palm and tempted: "Want to eat candy?"
The children who were a little afraid of him were immediately attracted to him, looked at his palm eagerly, and nodded timidly.
"Come and eat, each person will take one." Zhuang Li handed his palm forward, a gentle smile on his face.
If he deliberately shows the good side, others will immediately fall into his trap. In a sense, he has mastered the skills of the devil walking the world.
Sure enough, the children were no longer afraid of him, and scrambled to surround him, took the candy in his palm, and couldn't wait to stuff it into their mouths.
Zhuang Li squatted down and looked at the children, and asked softly, "Are any strangers coming to the village today?"
"Yes, two big brothers came here today, and they looked very raw. They said they were from the next village and came here to catch fish." Without asking in detail, the children told everything they knew.
"Have they inquired about my family's situation?" Zhuang Li continued to ask.
"Yes, they asked if your family is really rich, and we said yes. They are very envious, and they also asked what treasures your family has." The children have no idea what kind of sinister intentions are hidden in this question and answer. . For them, getting rich is a great thing.
Zhuang Li curled the corners of his lips and smiled with satisfaction.
He stood up and waved to his pale younger brother, "Go home."
Zhuang Jiuge quickly followed him, and when he reached an unoccupied corner, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, those two people are likely to be sent by bandits or robbers to step on the spot. Our family is being watched!"
Zhuang Li was very satisfied with his younger brother's sharpness, rubbed his head and said, "Don't worry, they will make a careful plan tonight, and they won't make a move. Dangers may happen after tomorrow. And tomorrow, I will bring Our family is going to live in Bazhou City. What do you think of the house opposite Qin Taishou's house? Our family is renting there, do robbers dare to come?"
The street where Qin Taishou's house lives is the most prosperous street in Bazhou City. Every day there are yamen patrolling back and forth, and the law and order is very good.
The house over there is definitely not cheap, but for the current Zhuang Li, the rent of 12 taels a month is really not expensive. Moreover, he also helped Master Zhou a lot. Master Zhou used to be the confidant of Qin Taishou.
