Chapter 549: The Stick Slip
The dispute in Dawang Village was full of gunpowder, and Courtyard No. 95 was also uneasy.
This story started two months ago. Xu Damao mentioned the theft in the Jia family to Zhou Fangjing, and they also admired the rare case of Jia Zhang opening the cellar door.
Xu Damao didn't care, but Zhou Fangjing took it to heart.
Recently, Xu Damao often goes to the countryside, and each time he is gone for ten days or so. Zhou Fangjing not only has to stay alone in the empty room, but also has to face the rumors in the yard. So her choice is similar to Lou Xiao'e's, and she chooses to live in her parents' home most of the time.
However, unlike Lou Xiao'e, in order to prevent theft, Zhou Fangjing placed a dozen mousetraps in the house. She did not want to break the mouse's legs like Liu Guangtian did, but she had to make some noise to let people in the yard know that their house had been robbed.
Practice has proved that using mousetraps to prevent thieves is, not to say useless, but completely useless.
The thief is not blind, why would he choose to touch the mousetrap?
Besides, wanting to catch the "King of Thieves" is simply wishful thinking.
Banggeng's targeting of the Xu family was not a whim.
A few days ago, Jia Zhang scolded Zhou Fangjing at home, calling her a hen that doesn't lay eggs. She inadvertently mentioned that Zhou Fangjing often doesn't live in the yard, which made Bang Geng, who is short of money, remember it in his heart.
Others may not know what the situation is at Xu Damao's home, but Banggeng knows it very well.
Thinking back to the time, he went in and out of Xu's house repeatedly and got a box of magic medicine in exchange, which was simply his proudest achievement.
Now that I have the opportunity, how can I not be tempted?
So that day, Banggeng took advantage of the fact that no one was watching and went into the backyard. After observing for a long time, he easily unlocked the door and slipped into the house.
After searching for a while, he didn't find the medicine, but he found a lot of banknotes and one-cent and two-cent coins in the drawer. These were the change Zhou Fangjing got from buying vegetables.
Banggeng is no longer a novice thief. It doesn't matter how much he steals. The best strategy is to avoid being discovered and maintain sustainable development of theft.
Banggeng picked up a few dimes and took two pieces of jewelry from the jewelry box, then was about to leave happily.
But just as he was about to lock the door, he ran into Wang Tu, who was going home to get needle and thread.
"Where are you, wild kid? What are you doing?!"
Wang Tu had a loud voice to begin with, and her angry shout was heard clearly by everyone in the courtyard.
Banggeng was startled, but when he saw that it was a new tenant, he calmly locked the door and walked out.
He heard from his grandmother that the newcomer was a rural widow, who was so noisy and unpresentable that she would be pinned to the ground and taught a lesson sooner or later.
It was because of this preconceived notion that Banggeng didn't care much about Wang Tushi and even rolled his eyes when passing by.
As a result, Wang Tushi refused to give in at all and grabbed Banggeng by the back of his neck.
"Still want to run~ Someone come quickly!"
Bang Geng never expected that the other party would not care about Jia Zhang at all and started attacking right away.
"You stinking widow who brings death to men, let me go."
As soon as Banggeng opens his mouth, he can smell the pure Jia Zhang flavor.
When Wang Tu heard this, she became furious.
"clap clap"
Three consecutive slaps, all on Banggeng's mouth.
"You have a father but no father to raise you, you little bastard, you do all kinds of sneaky things and you are so mean, wait and see how I, your mother, will teach you a lesson!"
"Pah~pah~pah!"
Three more slaps made Bang Geng dare not open his mouth.
Wang Tushi's sturdy temperament is fully revealed~
"I'll bite you to death~"
Banggeng is a teenager after all. He was confused at first, but later he started to resist and started biting with his mouth open.
However, this also gave Wang Tu the opportunity to take ruthless action.
"I'll let you bite~"
After saying that, he slapped him three more times, on the nose and mouth.
Suddenly, Banggeng started crying with snot and tears streaming down his face.
"Ah~ Grandma, grandma, someone is beating me to death! Help~"
The noise here had already alarmed the people in the yard. As soon as they came over, they saw Aunt Wang beating someone with a stick, and she was beating him hard.
"Aunt Wang, what's going on?"
"Bang Terrier stole things again?"
The few people who came didn't try to stop him, and they all had a very bad impression of Bang Geng.
Before Wang Tu could speak, a loud shout rang out from the central courtyard.
"You stinky beggar, you dare to hit my grandson, I will fight you!"
Then a fat ball was seen rushing towards Wang Tu with its mouth wide open and arms outstretched.
Dawang Village is harmonious, but that is now.
In the past, there were many quarrels with the surrounding Xiaowang Village and Kaoshantun over the ownership of land, food, and even wild boars that came down the mountain.
Wang Tu was a good farmer and was also very good at fighting.
Seeing Jia Zhang rushing over, he held the stick in one hand and swung it with the other hand, hitting her in the face.
There was a deafening "bang" sound.
This slap was harder than those hits with a stick.
Of course, mental attacks are also inevitable.
"You old hag, you taught this damn kid all these curse words, didn't you?!"
Jia Zhang was knocked to the ground immediately and was very confused.
What's wrong with me?
who am I?
Am I crawling on the ground?
It took a while for Jia Zhang to wake up from her stupor. Looking at Wang Tu who was glaring at her, she was about to throw a tantrum.
But she didn't expect that Wang Tu had already poked her finger in the face, and before she could say anything, her saliva had already sprayed all over her face.
"Bah! If you dare to talk nonsense, I will push you into the cesspool and let you eat your fill!"
Jia Zhang wiped her face, as if she had just washed it.
Damn, this is a master.
They are definitely top-notch in the countryside.
Suddenly, she held back all the curses she was about to say and started looking for someone to judge the matter.
"Oh no, I won't live any longer. Outsiders are bullying us orphans and widows. It's unjust. Someone come quickly! Outsiders are bullying the people in our courtyard and beating our children."
More and more people gathered, and those who were chatting in the front yard were also attracted over.
But everyone was surprisingly unanimous. No one stepped forward to help Jia Zhang, and no one even had the intention to take a second look.
"I won't live any longer. I won't live any longer. Outsiders are bullying people in the courtyard and no one is helping them. Banggeng, go call your mother to go to the street office and ask for justice for us."
Jia Zhang was very careful at this time, and took the opportunity of throwing a tantrum to get Bang Geng away.
Only in this way, the beating she received would not be in vain.
Banggeng also understood that the current urgency was to deal with the dirt on his body.
If he is discovered, he will definitely be in trouble.
He pulled back hard, trying to break free.
"Let go, I'm going to find my mom. Let go."
I dare not scold her. This old woman is even more ruthless than Qin Huairu.
Wang Tu glanced at Bang Geng and thought, how could she let go? This kind of kid would be beaten half to death in the countryside.
Seeing that quite a few people had arrived, she hurriedly recounted what had just happened.
"I just came back and saw this guy coming out of Xu's house and blatantly locking the door. The door of Xu's house has been locked these days, and everyone knows it. Xu's wife hasn't come back either. What do you think we should do?"
"This kid must have sneaked in and picked the lock to steal things again!"
"I don't think this habit can be cured."
"Call the police."
"Yes, yes, look for Uncle Ni, Uncle Ni is at home!"
No one would tolerate the Jia family now, and someone immediately walked to the front yard to call for help.
When Jia Zhang saw that the matter was about to get out of hand, she quickly began to make excuses.
"You are talking nonsense. You just don't like my grandson and you deliberately wronged my family. I will never let you go."
