C69 (1/2)

When I got home, I was shaking with nervousness, holding the bag of rat poison in my pocket. Er Nengdan was sitting in the living room, drinking from a roasted chicken. He ate until his mouth and hands were covered in oil. I thought to myself, ”How can this son of a b * tch look after other people's children!”

The county governor's child was in the yard lighting a gun. I was always excited to see him with the red cannon in his hand. He really wanted to charge forward and strangle him. He threw another round at my feet. I could see the smoke coming out of the cannon, but I didn't dare to step on it. The only thing he could do was to wait for the explosion to break out, then he would yell at the child, ”Don't throw a cannon around, what do you do if it breaks down?”

”Just so you can die!” Skinny Bamboo! ” The kid was quite fierce. He glared at me and pursed his lips. He clenched his fists as if he wanted to fight me.

I sneered in my heart and thought, ”Brat, you can be crazy with me! You are not far from death! ” Ye Zichen reached out his hand to scare him.

Er Nengdan was sitting in the living room and he could see the yard clearly. He suddenly roared: ”Brother! ”Don't give me trouble!”

I ignored the boy and went to sit in the hall.

Er Nengdan said: ”Brother, do you have a wife?”

His words reminded me of my deceased lover, Xu Xiaru. I felt a stabbing pain in my heart and almost cried. I shook my head and said, ”Not yet!”

”Then how can you let my older brother beat up a bachelor!” I'll send someone to tell you who your wife is! ” Er Nengdan said.

”No need brother!” I don't want to marry now! ”

”What's wrong?” You don't have grasshoppers? ” Er Nengdan glared at him.

”It's grown!”

”What's the use of you growing a grasshopper?”

”Use it to piss!”

”Are you going to use a light piss? The heavens have given you the role of a grasshopper, and that is for you to screw around with women! Since you've grown up, if you don't want a wife, can't a grasshopper be hard? ” Er Nengdan analyzed drunkenly.

”It can get tough!”

”Then that's it!” Brother, you don't have to worry about anything! Let your brother handle it for you! I'll find you a sister-in-law, she must be beautiful! Damn it, as long as I'm here, no one in the Jin family can beat me up! The rumors are spreading to my, Jin Yunshan's, face! Go to the city and ask around, who doesn't know about me! ” Er Nengdan enthusiastically said a few more things before biting a big chunk of chicken into his mouth and chewing on it.

I couldn't help but feel touched. Such a brother would never forget his roots even when he was rich. He would not be able to enjoy happiness alone. In this world, how many younger brothers would dare to arrange their older brother's marriage? This person was only 20 years old and was a big child, but he was only used as a parent! No family background and no culture mixed up. It had to be said that he truly did have some potential. He was a figure in the making.

I glanced sideways at the kid who was firing a gun in the yard. He thought: If I drugged the child of this county's chief to death, wouldn't that be destroying Er Nengdan's future! He began to feel conflicted. He hated himself for being too soft-hearted.

”I'll go find someone on the street right now and hurry up to tell you about my wife. I only have time for this new year!” Er Nengdan stood up from the chair, even though he was drunk, he did not sway when he walked, and even knew that he took out a white handkerchief to wipe the oil on his mouth and hands, and instructed me to let him see a good child, and left.

I went over to the box containing the rolls and squatted down. I opened the paper bag and looked inside. Inside were about fifty or sixty golden rolls. I took one out and saw that the center of the roll was wrapped in red sugar. He wanted to find a needle and pick out the brown sugar, then replace it with the same red rat poison.

I couldn't help it, so I put an egg roll in my mouth and chewed on it. Turning around, I saw that the county magistrate's child was standing in the doorway, looking at me.

”What are you looking at? Go out and play!” I shouted.

”How dare you steal my egg roll!”

”Little rascal, don't look for trouble!” Be careful that I do not beat you up! ” I warned.

”I'll tell Uncle Shan to hit you!”

”Xiao Jun, why are you like this? Aren't I only going to eat your egg roll!? Can I give you five dollars as compensation? ” I took out a five-dollar bill and shook it.

The expression on the face of the county magistrate's son changed to one of joy as he ran over to take the ticket from me. ”Uncle, you can eat the egg roll whenever you want!” But don't finish it for me. Remember to leave me some! ”

Even the children of the county magistrate were rare. It was evident that the five dollars from 1984 was indeed quite a lot. I was pretty broke, throwing out ten dollars in a minute.

Unable to find a needle, I went to the yard to find a withered yellow leaf, tore off the leaf surface, made a stick out of the leaf bone, went back into the house to pick out a piece of egg roll of brown sugar, deliberately picked a deep gap. While cautiously observing the outside with his eyes, he carefully poured the powdered rat poison into the crack at the center of the egg roll. Finally, he stuffed the crack with sticky red sugar. Only now did it complete. He then put the egg roll back into the box, covered the oil bag with it, stood up and left.

For the rest of the day, I pretended as if nothing had happened and focused all my attention on the county governor's family. Every move of his has a bearing on my heart. I was afraid but also wanted him to eat his omelet. However, the devilish brat was tired of playing around in the courtyard. He ran into the house, flipped over a large apple, and began to chew. With such a big stomach, eating all of this apple would surely take a long time.
