Chapter 39: Jia Dong was scared to tears, Jia Zhang was scared to pee
Jia Dong bit the bullet and came to the back courtyard.
When he was very young, Zhang Zuihua had forced him to steal things.
For him, stealing wasn't difficult, and he didn't resist it; if other families had good things, even if Jia Zhang didn't say anything, he would take the initiative to steal them.
He only resisted Wan Ping'an.
He was afraid!
Arriving at the back courtyard, he looked left and right; there was no one in the courtyard.
He quickly arrived in front of the Wan family's door, preparing to go in and "take" things.
Creak!
A slight sound of the door opening rang out.
Next door, the Deaf Old Lady happened to push her door open and come out.
"Oh no, run!"
Jia Dong reacted quickly.
He turned and ran.
Unexpectedly, his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The Deaf Old Lady shuddered in fright; what was that sound?
Turning her head, she saw Jia Dong at Wan Ping'an's door.
She was an old fox; she knew the Jia family were all thieves, Wan Ping'an had gone out, and Jia Dong appeared at the Wan family's door—what did he want to do?
Steal!
The answer was self-evident!
The Deaf Old Lady smiled slightly; she wouldn't care.
She would only be happy if Wan Ping'an's house was emptied out!
The old lady left.
Jia Dong scrambled to get up and ran home in a sorry state.
"Why are you back so soon?"
"Empty-handed?"
Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dong with a very unpleasant expression.
"Mom, it's not that I don't want to go in and 'take' things, it's just that I was seen by the Deaf Old Lady just now; what if she tells Wan Ping'an?"
Jia Dong found an excuse.
He would go to anyone's house to steal, just not Wan Ping'an's.
"The old lady saw you?"
"Then you don't have to worry; she definitely won't tell Wan Ping'an."
"Wan Ping'an eats big fish and meat every day but has never sent her any; she's dying for us to empty out the Wan family, so go take it, don't worry."
Jia Zhang laughed.
She knew exactly what kind of person the Deaf Old Lady was.
They were the same kind of people.
The only difference was that the Deaf Old Lady didn't steal.
"Mom, I..."
Jia Dong was still a bit worried.
His body also hurt.
He had fallen quite hard just now.
"Sigh, how did I give birth to such a useless son as you."
"I'll go with you, follow me!"
Jia Zhang glared fiercely at Jia Dong.
She walked in front.
Jia Dong had no choice but to follow.
When they arrived at the back courtyard, they didn't see the Deaf Old Lady, nor did they see anyone else.
Those who had to work had already gone to work in the morning.
Those who didn't work were all sleeping at home.
Not sleeping in.
It was to save food.
In the fifties, supplies were not abundant, and many people were not full.
By not moving, energy consumption was low, so there was no need to eat too much.
Lying at home could save the most food.
"I'll keep watch for you, why aren't you going yet?"
Arriving in front of Wan Ping'an's door.
Jia Zhang urged Jia Dong to act.
Jia Dong pushed the window, but it wouldn't budge; it was definitely bolted from the inside.
He went to the door.
He didn't open the door directly, but first leaned against the door to look at the situation inside through the crack.
Thud!
Jia Dong sat on the ground on his butt.
His face was pale.
Tears were even flowing out.
"I, I, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die!"
Jia Dong muttered tremblingly.
Jia Zhang was dumbfounded; what was going on?
Why was Jia Dong so scared?
"What's going on?"
Jia Zhang asked.
"He, I..."
Jia Dong was so scared that he couldn't explain clearly for a moment.
"Get out of the way!"
Jia Zhang was angry.
She kicked Jia Dong to the side.
She leaned against the door and, like Jia Dong, looked into the room through the crack.
Thud!
Jia Zhang's reaction was the same as Jia Dong's.
She was scared pale, and cold sweat soaked her clothes.
"Wan Ping'an, that little brat, how can he be so ruthless?"
"Does he want to kill us?"
Jia Zhang muttered in a low voice.
When she looked through the crack, she saw a bow fixed to the table, with three arrows nocked on the string, in a pulled-back, ready-to-fire state. ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
There was a thin string clearly tied to the door.
As soon as they opened the door.
The three arrows would take their lives.
Jia Zhang had stolen things before, but where had she ever seen such a vicious mechanism?
If she hadn't been cautious enough to look through the crack first, opening the door directly would have surely meant death; she had walked before the gates of hell, so how could she not be afraid?
"Mom, you saw it too?"
Jia Dong gradually recovered.
"Saw, saw, saw it."
Jia Zhang was also stuttering.
"Mom, Wan Ping'an is too ruthless, too vicious, should we go back?"
Jia Dong asked for Jia Zhang's opinion.
"Go back!"
Jia Zhang agreed without hesitation.
"Wait, come over and help me up, my legs are weak."
Jia Zhang called out to Jia Dong.
Jia Dong approached Jia Zhang and smelled a strong stench of a toilet.
Looking down, he saw Jia Zhang's pants were wet.
He understood instantly; Jia Zhang had been scared to pee—no, not just pee, like Yi Zhonghai, she had been scared to the point of defecating in her pants.
The Deaf Old Lady returned and happened to see it.
"What a useless pair of mother and son, can't they even steal?"
"And they were scared to the point of pooping their pants?"
The Deaf Old Lady felt a burst of disdain and regret!
It was a waste on Wan Ping'an!
At this time.
Wan Ping'an arrived at the six acres of land.
At the edge of the field.
Originally there was only one thatched hut.
Now it had become two thatched huts, and there was also a chicken coop.
Cai Quanwu and Han Dahe kept each other company, one watching the land, the other raising chickens.
When Wan Ping'an arrived, only Han Dahe was sitting in front of the thatched hut; Cai Quanwu had taken the big black dog to patrol the fields and hadn't returned yet.
"Old Man Han, this is what I caught hunting, you and Old Cai should have a taste!"
Wan Ping'an took out a wild rabbit and handed it to Han Dahe.
"Then I'm in for a treat!"
Old Man Han smiled and took it.
A fat wild rabbit was enough for him and Cai Quanwu to have a wonderful meal.
"Old man, have you encountered any problems these past two days?"
Wan Ping'an placed another bag on the ground.
Looking at the chicks walking around, they were all very lively and looked healthy, which showed that Old Man Han was really putting his heart into raising the chickens.
"No problems!"
"Raising chickens is going very smoothly."
Old Man Han answered with a smile.
"If I expand the scale of farming, can you take care of it?"
Wan Ping'an was preparing to bring the pheasants over and let Old Man Han raise them together.
Old Man Han was old after all, and Wan Ping'an wasn't sure if his energy was enough.
If it wasn't enough, he would recruit more people!
"No problem!"
Old Man Han was very certain.
"Ping'an, in terms of farming, I, an old man, must give you a thumbs up!"
Han Dahe really gave a thumbs up.
"The rice you grow, the vegetables you grow, are better in quality and higher in yield than what others grow, and there are no pests or diseases; it's simply a miracle!"
Han Dahe had suffered from hunger.
His emphasis on food was something Wan Ping'an, who had never suffered from hunger since crossing over, could only understand but not empathize with.
Han Dahe looked at the six acres of land.
The food and vegetables in the field were about to have another big harvest, and he was even happier than Wan Ping'an! ===== CHAPTER 87 =====
