Chapter 1159 Zhao Youcai: Lan, please! (November update 11)

In the afternoon, Zhao Jun found Zhou Jianjun and asked his brother-in-law to arrange for him to sleep in the guesthouse for the whole afternoon. The two of them drank too much and snored yesterday, so Zhao Jun didn't sleep well all night.

While Zhao Jun was sleeping in the guesthouse, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng were feeling uneasy at home.

Both of them were troubled and felt uneasy, so they felt uncomfortable whether lying down, sitting, leaning or lying down.

The longer Zhao Jun waited, the more unsure Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng became. The more unsure they were, the more anxious they became.

By the afternoon, the two were anxious and kept looking out the window.

They had thought about going out to relax, but they wanted to wait for Zhao Jun to come back, so they couldn't go far. But as they wandered around in and outside the yard, Qing Lao Hu kept barking at them.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Zhao Jun got up from his bed in the guesthouse. As he sat on the bed waiting to get off work, he suddenly thought of the two people at home.

"Ha!" Zhao Jun sneered and said to himself, "Oh my, you two are really good."

Good things are not afraid of thinking about them, bad things are afraid of pondering them.

The more Zhao Jun thought about it, the angrier he became. When his anger reached its peak, he couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha..."

I'm not afraid of the cuckoo's roar, but I'm afraid of the cuckoo's laugh.

This applies to Ergudong, and even more so to Xiaogudong.

When the bell for the end of get off work rang, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu walked out together. Seeing Li Ruhai standing in front of the door and waving at them, Zhao Jun and others turned their heads away.

"Baoyu." When they walked out of the forest farm gate, Lin Xiangshun asked Li Baoyu, "Why isn't Ruhai going home today?"

"That should be it." Li Baoyu answered, and then Lin Xiangshun said, "Then my second aunt will be selecting the women's director tomorrow, and Ru Hai won't be able to help."

It turned out that everyone was pointing at Li Ruhai to go home and canvass votes for Wang Meilan, but this kid never went home. And since he didn't go home, Li Baoyu and others didn't tell him about it, because since he didn't go home, it was useless to tell him.

"No need for him." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "I asked our village chief to look at the list. The people competing with my mother are all in the same group. When they all ran for election, their votes were dispersed. After all this, my mother still had the most votes in the end."

"That's fine." Lin Xiangshun said with a smile, "We won't have to go to work tomorrow. Let's cook a few more dishes tonight and celebrate for my second aunt."

"Okay!" Zhao Jun agreed with a smile, and he had prepared all the celebratory dishes.

After taking the commuter bus home, Zhao Jun went to the yard to interact with Qinglong and other dogs. Xiaohua next door kept barking, so Li Baoyu went back to his own yard to comfort Xiaohua.

At this time, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng in the room both got off the kang. When they walked out of the west room to the outer room, Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun came in.

Just as Wang Meilan was about to greet the two of them, she heard Zhao Youcai's voice behind her: "Where's Zhao Jun?"

Wang Meilan frowned slightly. Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng were on fire that day. How could Wang Meilan not see that something was wrong with them? But she just couldn't figure out what was going on with these two.

"He's contacting a dog outside." As a bystander, Li Dayong winked at Zhao Youcai and said, "What's the matter, brother? Do you have something to do with him?"

"Ah." Zhao Youcai nodded and said, "I was thinking of asking what happened on the mountain?"

While Zhao Youcai was speaking, men and women from the east and west rooms all came out. They had all heard about Zhao Jun being wronged, and while everyone was speaking up for Zhao Jun, they were also very concerned about the matter.

"Ah, that's all right." Li Dayong was also confused by the Zhao army, and said to Zhao Youcai in a relaxed manner: "They found out that it was two people from Lingnan who beat us up."

"Lingnan?" Zhao Youcai was startled when he heard this. Xie Sunshi beside him shouted, "What have they done? Why didn't they investigate it earlier? They are wrongly accusing our child."

"Mom." Liu Lanying pulled Li Sun aside, but Li Sun was still not satisfied. She waved her hand and shouted, "If they are not talking nonsense, did our child go to the mountain to play football today?"

The women were all quite angry at first, but now they were amused by what Jie Sun said. Wang Meilan smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Okay, it's fine."

As she spoke, Wang Meilan stretched her neck to glance out the window, then turned back and said to everyone, "Set the table and serve the food! Let's eat!"

At Wang Meilan's command, the women all started to work, some carrying plates, some taking bowls and chopsticks.

At this time, Zhao Weipeng, who had entered the west room, whispered to Zhao Youcai, "Brother, where is Lingnan?"

"It's not our place." Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Weipeng with a smile. He just heard that the people in the 27th field had found the wrong direction, and Zhao Youcai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He felt that things were still under his control. Tomorrow was Sunday and the forest farm was closed. The day after tomorrow, Han Dachun would bring the money back, and the day after that he would let Zhang Lifeu go up the mountain to compensate the cows.

Feeling relieved, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng immediately became active at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was much better than last night.

The two of them didn't drink too much. After seeing Li Dayong and the others off, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng sat on the kang and chatted endlessly about all sorts of things, just like they did the day before.

"Hey!" Seeing Zhao Jun coming back from outside, Wang Meilan called him softly, then waved at Zhao Jun.

When Zhao Jun came closer, Wang Meilan leaned close to Zhao Jun's ear, pointed at the door of the west room, and whispered to Zhao Jun: "Your father must have led your uncle Zhao into trouble."

Zhao Jun curled his lips, said nothing but winked at Wang Meilan.

While Wang Meilan was stunned, Zhao Jun sighed, pulled over a four-legged stool, and sat down next to the stove.

"What's wrong, son?" Wang Meilan asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"

Wang Meilan's voice was also loud. Zhao Youcai in the west room immediately shut up after hearing the noise and raised his hand to signal Zhao Weipeng.

Then, Zhao Jun said, "Oh my god, I've been feeling really depressed all day."

"What's wrong, son?" Wang Meilan bent down and tilted her head to look at Zhao Jun, saying, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

"I'm telling you, Mom." Zhao Jun said, "Your son got bullied today!"

"What happened?" Wang Meilan asked again and again, and then she heard Zhao Jun say, "Today we went to that place and fought with that gang."

"Why are they fighting again?" Wang Meilan was no longer acting. She asked Zhao Jun in surprise, "Didn't your uncle Li say it was a misunderstanding? Didn't he say it was the Lingnan people who beat the cow? What did they want to do with you?"

"Oh my!" Zhao Jun spread his legs, pressed his hands on his knees, tilted his head to the side, and pretended to be extremely angry. He said unhappily: "It's so embarrassing today. I'm too embarrassed to tell others."

"What's wrong, son?" Wang Meilan pulled over a small stool and sat in front of Zhao Jun.

At this time, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng both came to the door of the west room, and they stared at Zhao Jun intently.

Zhao Jun raised his right palm and gestured, saying, "Today when we arrived at the Lengchang, the leader took us to see the old cow. After seeing it, he said that I beat it. There is nothing we can say."

"What are you doing?" Wang Meilan suddenly stood up from the small stool, and the stool was knocked over due to the large amplitude of her movement.

"Why should I blame you?" Wang Meilan said angrily, "Isn't this just being a scoundrel?"

"Who said it wasn't true?" Zhao Jun spread his hands, his eyes wide open with innocence, and said, "Why can't I say it?"

At this time, Zhao Youcai walked out of the west room and asked Zhao Jun loudly: "Then didn't you arrange to go up the mountain to take a look?"

After Zhao Youcai said this, Wang Meilan calmed down instantly. She blinked her eyes and remembered a lot of things.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhao Youcai was trying to be nice to him before he left, saying that he would keep the bear paws for him to make when he came back. But in the end, he and Zhao Weipeng never came back.

And the two of them were not in a good state today, which made Wang Meilan have some associations.

Seeing Zhao Jun looking at him, Zhao Youcai was slightly startled, then raised his hand and said, "Why don't we go up the mountain to see the guns?"

"What are you looking at, Dad?" Zhao Jun pretended to hold his breath and said, "They don't even let us look."

As he spoke, Zhao Jun spread out his right hand, slapped his thigh with the back of his hand, and said, "I saw it clearly when I got there. It was bitten hard!"

"No?" Wang Meilan turned her back to Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng, but her eyes involuntarily glanced back, and then asked Zhao Jun: "Who are they? Why don't they mind being ugly?"

"Maybe it's too difficult." Zhao Jun said helplessly: "I saw the two men in the dead cow, they were wearing tattered clothes, and the cotton on the elbows and corrugated cap of that guy's cotton jacket was showing."

Zhao Weipeng frowned when he heard what Zhao Jun said. Then, he heard Zhao Jun say, "I heard that they bought the cow with a lot of money, and they make a three-tenth profit."

"Ah?" Wang Meilan was shocked and asked, "They are raising the interest rate so high?"

"Or maybe they've bitten me? If they don't find someone to blame, what are they going to do?" Zhao Jun pouted and nodded, saying, "Aren't these two brothers? The older brother's child is said to have bad legs and feet; the younger brother is with their mother, and the old lady has a throat disease."

"Ouch!" Wang Meilan frowned and tried hard not to laugh out loud.

At this time, Zhao Weipeng reached out and grabbed Zhao Youcai's sleeve, and then listened to Zhao Jun continue to say: "Isn't the eldest son sick? His wife ran away two years ago. The second son is over 30 years old and only got married last year."

"Oh." Wang Meilan's face was tense. She took a long time to squeeze out a few words and said, "That's difficult enough."

Hearing this, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but take a step forward and opened his mouth to say something, but Zhao Jun spoke first.

"This time, it's even more difficult." Zhao Jun said, "They spent exactly one thousand yuan to buy the big blue bull, and six hundred of it was for the lifting. How much is it a month with three percent interest?"

"3618." Wang Meilan said, "Eighteen yuan in interest a month is not a small amount."

"Yes." Zhao Jun said: "This time, the second son's wife has to run away."

"Yeah!" Wang Meilan pursed her lips and nodded, saying, "They don't have any children, so they probably have to run away."

"So that's what their leader said." Zhao Jun raised his left hand, raised his index and middle fingers, and said, "If the bull beater can't be found, these two families will be finished."

"You can't blame us for that!" Wang Meilan's compliment was just right. As soon as she said this, Zhao Jun became emotional.

"That's right!" Zhao Jun slapped his thigh and shouted, "No matter how difficult it is, you can't bite me. I'll go after whoever hit me."

"Son!" Zhao Youcai felt guilty, and he couldn't hold it in any longer. He said to Zhao Jun, "Don't be angry. As you said, they may be in too much trouble."

“It’s no use even if it’s difficult!” Zhao Jun waved his hands angrily, then looked at Zhao Youcai and said, “Dad, you don’t know. As soon as I entered their room, four or five people surrounded me. That guy scolded me and pointed at my nose…”

"Did I scold you again, son?" Wang Meilan asked.

"Even if I didn't curse, I still made noises." Zhao Jun said unhappily, "I got so angry at that time that I grabbed the boy by the collar and slapped him both in the face."

Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng frowned when they heard Zhao Jun's words. Then Wang Meilan asked Zhao Jun, "What's the end?"

"Then their leader started to complain." Zhao Jun said, "He said he was going to sue me. I ignored him because he was old, but our team leader didn't tolerate him and kicked the old man."

"Xu Baoshan also took action?" Wang Meilan said, "I heard that Xu Baoshan protects his children. He is really capable when something happens."

"Oh, it's not that bad." Zhao Jun said, "Our team leader called Han Dejiang, who was in charge of measuring the yard for them. Then he told Han Dejiang in front of them that he would punish them severely in the future. The yard was optional, so they would not give it to them in the future. Oh! The money that other tenants could earn in the yard could not be earned by them."

"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai frowned, grinned, and said, "Those two households wronged you, you can't punish everyone."

"Ah! Those two households wrongly accused me." Zhao Jun's brain was also very useful, and he immediately said: "So my team leader said that the two households who wrongly accused me should get out tomorrow. Before tomorrow morning, if they don't come down the mountain, no one will be able to work here anymore."

"Let's just go down the mountain." Wang Meilan said, "Their cow is dead, and they can't work on the mountain anymore. Well... didn't they pay 600 yuan to buy the cow? The dead cow can be sold for a decent price. We can go back and say a few good words to the man who paid for it and blame the famine."

"Selling cattle? He must be so happy!" Zhao Jun sneered, "Our team leader said that all the cows must be brought up the mountain tomorrow. Whoever dares not to go up the mountain will be fired. How can they bring the cattle back without cows? Can they use ropes to pull them back? Can they pull them back to Hengdaohezi?"

"You kid..." Zhao Youcai walked up to Zhao Jun and said, "Aren't you getting more and more cunning the more you learn? Why are you so controlling?"

"Nephew!" Zhao Weipeng also came over and said to Zhao Jun, "It's not easy to kill someone without getting the upper hand. It's just a matter of getting close."

"Dad, uncle!" Zhao Jun said to the two, "I didn't say that. I'm just a small technician, what am I? That was said by our team leader. So, tell me, our team leader stood up for me, how can I still make irresponsible remarks?"

After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng remained silent.

"Son." Wang Meilan seemed to have not heard enough of the story, and asked with some interest: "What's the end?"

"It's over?" Zhao Jun said, "It's over. The two brothers knelt on the ground, but it didn't help. Our team leader is also famous for his temper. Before the event this year, didn't he want to kill Dou Baoguo?"

"That's right." Wang Meilan nodded slightly, and then asked Zhao Jun, "Son, is this matter settled now?"

"It's even." Zhao Jun said, "It's even even though I'm holding my breath. Mom, who did I offend? I feel so wronged and angry."

"Okay, son." Wang Meilan advised Zhao Jun, "You are in trouble now, what else can you do?"

As she spoke, Wang Meilan turned around and lifted up the small stool behind her, then said to Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng, "You both drank a lot last night, so go to bed early."

"Yeah." The two did not respond, but Zhao Jun stood up from the four-legged stool and said, "I'll go warm the quilt, and then we'll go to sleep."

The snoring sound that had been heard for two nights did not come back as usual today.

Zhao Weipeng was lying on the kang, unable to sleep in his warm quilt. He stared up at the ceiling, his fat face expressionless.

Zhao Youcai also couldn't sleep. Unlike Zhao Weipeng who didn't move at all, Zhao Youcai kept tossing and turning when he couldn't sleep.

There was no snoring, but Zhao Jun slept soundly.

At three o'clock in the morning on Sunday, December 1987, 12, Zhao Youcai sat up from the kang, put on his cotton jacket and trousers, went out, put on his cotton shoes, and saw Zhao Weipeng had also gotten up.

Coming out of the west room, the two brothers lit the lamp on the floor of the outer room. One sat on a four-legged stool, and the other sat on a small stool, and they both smoked silently.

Today's Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng look like Lin Weilong and Lin Weihu yesterday, with big dark circles under their eyes, red bloodshot eyes, and dry and flaky lips.

Or, in other words, don’t feel guilty about anything you have. Once people feel guilty, no matter how good their material conditions are, they will not be happy.

This was the case with Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng at this moment. They hadn't slept the whole night before, not because they weren't sleepy, but when they were about to fall asleep, they would think of Zhao Jun's description of the brothers' separation from their wives and children.

When they thought of this, they immediately became alert. Then they became sleepy again, thought about it again, and then became alert again... They were tortured repeatedly like this.

"Brother." Zhao Weipeng stomped out his cigarette butt on the ground and asked Zhao Youcai, "What should we do?"

Zhao Youcai raised his hand to check his watch, then said to Zhao Weipeng, "Brother, shall we go up the mountain?"

As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Zhao Weipeng stood up from the four-legged stool, waved his fat hand out of the window, and said, "Let's go!"

"Wait a minute, brother." Zhao Youcai said, "Take one thousand yuan first, and I'll give it to you tomorrow night."

"Ah? Isn't five hundred enough?" Zhao Weipeng said, "Brother, I only have more than six hundred yuan in my pocket now, and the money is in the bag at the forest farm guesthouse."

At this point, Zhao Weipeng looked at Zhao Youcai and said, "Brother, how about we drive to the forest farm to get the money?"

"How can we get it so early?" Zhao Youcai said, "The theater is closed today, and you are not in the guesthouse. There is no one in the guesthouse, and the outer door is locked. We can't get in even if we go there."

"What should we do?" Zhao Weipeng said with a bitter face, "Who should we borrow from?"

"Where can I borrow money at this hour?" Zhao Youcai said as he threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and stomped it out. Then, as if he had made some important decision, he supported his knees with both hands and slowly stood up from the small stool.

"Brother." Zhao Youcai said to Zhao Weipeng, "Get in the car and wait for me. I'll go get the money from your sister-in-law."

Hearing Zhao Youcai's words, Zhao Weipeng looked at him deeply. The day before yesterday, Zhao Youcai said that his money was not at home, and Zhao Weipeng knew what was going on. At this time, Zhao Weipeng couldn't help but feel a little worried. He was worried that Zhao Youcai would not be able to get the money, and he was also worried that when Wang Meilan asked, Zhao Youcai would not be able to hide the fact that they slaughtered the cow.

That's right, at this moment the two of them didn't know that Liu Er had already betrayed them. They still thought that the Zhao army didn't know, and they thought they could get away with it by pretending to be Lingnan people.

"Brother, is it possible?" Zhao Weipeng asked again, but saw Zhao Youcai raised his neck and said, "Brother, then you don't have to worry about it. Can't you see who is the head of this family?"

Zhao Weipeng looked at Zhao Youcai deeply, nodded heavily, turned around and walked out.

As soon as he went out, a cold wind blew. It was a little after three o'clock and it was very cold. When Zhao Weipeng was walking out of the yard, Qing Lao Hu jumped out of the doghouse.

It was pitch black. Zhao Weipeng saw a black shadow flash by, and then heard the dog's protesting sound.

"Everyone is sleeping, please stop shouting." Zhao Weipeng pointed at the green tiger and said something. The green tiger seemed to understand and turned around and went back to its den.

When this ghost bares his teeth, the dog feels cold too.

Seeing the green tiger retreat, Zhao Weipeng was stunned. He remembered that when he first came the day before yesterday, the old dog was very friendly to him. But since the day before yesterday, the dog's attitude towards him has changed.

Yesterday, Zhao Weipeng pointed at Qing Lao Hu and casually asked Li Chen, "Does this dog bite people?" At that time, Li Chen did not think much about it and just followed what Ma Ling's third uncle said and said that this dog would either bite good people or bad people.

These words made Zhao Weipeng feel a little autistic.

When Zhao Weipeng got into the jeep and started the car tremblingly, Zhao Youcai tiptoed into the east room.

Coming to the edge of the kang, Zhao Youcai touched Wang Meilan's head along the pillow.

This touch startled Wang Meilan awake. But when she heard the familiar voice calling "Lan, it's me", Wang Meilan stood up and asked, "What time is it? Is it too late to cook?"

As she spoke, Wang Meilan reached for the flashlight beside her pillow, turned it on, and shone it on the wall clock. Then she turned around and glared at Zhao Youcai, saying, "What time is it? You're just trying to piss me off."

"Lan." Zhao Youcai lowered his voice and waved at Wang Meilan, "Come out."

Having said that, Zhao Youcai left the east room.

Wang Meilan angrily put on her cotton pants and cotton jacket, went downstairs to put on her shoes and came out to meet Zhao Youcai.

As soon as Wang Meilan came out, Zhao Youcai dragged her to sit in front of a four-legged stool.

Then, Zhao Youcai pressed her down on the stool and said to Wang Meilan, "Lan, give me some money."

"What time is it? Do you want money?" Wang Meilan asked unhappily, "How much do you want?"

"Five hundred." Zhao Youcai's simple two words scared Wang Meilan. Wang Meilan, who was still sleepy, suddenly became alert.

"Five hundred?" Wang Meilan's eyes widened and she asked Zhao Youcai, "What are you going to do?"

"Lan, then don't worry about it." Zhao Youcai said, "Just give me the money first, and I'll bring it back to you tomorrow night."

"What do you mean by don't bother?" Wang Meilan suddenly became anxious and glared at Zhao Youcai, "You took money out of the house, so I can't ask you? What do you want five hundred yuan for?"

At this point, Wang Meilan tilted her head and looked at Zhao Youcai and said, "Are you picking up some woman outside?"

"No!" Zhao Youcai stamped his feet anxiously and said, "Lan, I beg you, please don't ask anymore."

At this point, Zhao Youcai put his hands together in front of his chest, and waved his hands at Wang Meilan very quickly, like he was praying to a puppy, saying, "Lan, I beg you, I will never go up the mountain again, okay? Give me the money first, and when I come back, you can kill me or chop me up as you like."

Wang Meilan: “…”
