Chapter 35: A Burglar in the Family?

However, Zhao An's words reminded Lin Yunxuan of one thing, after they bought the ox cart, Uncle Shuigen's ox cart was not the only one in Gangtou Village. If they also use ox carts to pull the villagers to the town, wouldn't that be tantamount to robbing Uncle Shuigen's business? But if some villagers don't catch Uncle Shuigen's ox cart, and they drive the ox cart to the town and ask for a ride, do they pull it or not?

If these things are not handled well, they will affect the relationship between neighbors. Although Lin Yunxuan doesn't take the neighborhood seriously, she is afraid that Zhao Dalin's family will be difficult to live with peace of mind in the future because of these small things. Therefore, it is better to deal with this matter carefully, and I have to discuss countermeasures with everyone when I go back.

After Lin Yunxuan and the three of them said goodbye to Shopkeeper Li, they went to buy some daily necessities before driving the ox cart home.

As soon as the ox cart returned to Gangtou Village, it immediately caused a sensation.

When some villagers saw the ox cart that Zhao Dalin drove by himself, they were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped, and they pointed to the ox cart and asked, "Dalin, you can also drive the ox cart?" Where did the ox cart come from? “

"Hey, it must have been borrowed, could it be their family?" Without waiting for Zhao Dalin to answer, some villagers said sourly.

"That's it, don't think you can buy an oxcart by going to town and selling some food." Another villager also spoke sour words.

Zhao Dalin opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word, only smiled at the villagers, pulled the reins, shouted a few "grin", drove the ox cart around a few villagers who were blocking the road, and rushed home.

Seeing that Zhao Dalin ignored them, some of them spoke even more ugly, pointing at Zhao Dalin's back.

Soon, the news that Zhao Dalin came back with an ox cart and the words that Zhao Dalin had money to put up a shelf spread all over the village.

"Uncle, why didn't you reply to them this time?" Lin Yunxuan sat on the ox cart and saw that the figures of the villagers were getting smaller and smaller, so she spoke up.

"These are all talkative, talkative, and talkative people, and it's a waste of my saliva to talk to them." Zhao Dalin concentrated on driving the ox cart and said without looking back.

"Mmmm, I don't like to talk to them either, all of them are like long-tongued women." Zhao Anbian flattened his mouth and agreed.

Lin Yunxuan was amused by the words of the two fathers and sons, and silently gave them a thumbs up.

"Yu~", with Zhao Dalin's long shout, the ox cart slowly stopped.

Lin Yunxuan looked up and saw that she had already arrived home. The bullock cart stopped right at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Mother, we're back." Zhao An jumped off the ox cart and ran into the yard with a puff of smoke.

After a while, He Cuifang, Aunt Zhang, and they all ran to the gate of the courtyard.

"Ah, the ox cart has really been bought." He Cuifang looked at the ox cart parked at the door in disbelief and muttered.

"Yo, this cow is really good, you see how shiny the fur is, and this cart is also strong. It's good, it's good. Aunt Zhang looked at the ox cart and was full of praise, and was happy for He Cuifang and their family.

"It's so good, it's so good." Several children also gathered around the side of the ox cart, excited to touch east and west.

"Be careful, don't stand behind the hooves." Zhao Dalin said while moving the things off the ox cart. He was worried that the children would be injured by the cattle if they stood too close.

"Uncle, can we take this ox cart for a while?" Huzi asked cautiously, with expectation and excitement in his eyes.

"Yes, when I get my things down, I'll take you on the bullock cart." Zhao Dalin said with a smile.

Zhao Yun'er and Ting'er jumped up excitedly when they heard that they could ride the ox cart. The jade girl also laughed happily.

Everyone was immersed in laughter.

On the other hand, the Zhao family's mansion is diametrically opposed to the happy scene of Zhao Dalin's family, and the interior of the hall is in a mess. Zhao Daping squatted on the ground and lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound, Wang crossed his waist and glared at Zhao Daping viciously, so angry that his chest went up. Zhao Qiaoer and Zhao Gang hid in the room and didn't dare to come out.

"Look, look, everyone's ox carts have been bought, and you still say that your father and mother didn't leave private money for their second room! I don't care, tomorrow you go to the second room to get your father and mother's money back. Seeing that Zhao Daping lowered his head and remained silent, Wang stared at Zhao Daping's eyes and burst out with sharp light like a knife, and scolded loudly.

Zhao Daping was frightened by Wang's eye knife, and nodded resignedly.

"It's all from the same mother's womb, why is there such a big difference? Look at the second room of the family, and then look at your virtue. When Wang saw Zhao Daping's unproductive appearance, he was so angry that his teeth rattled.

Zhao Daping was so frightened that he shrunk his neck again.

Since the separation, his life has become more and more miserable day by day, not only has he to be busy with the work in the fields, but he is often disliked by the Wang family when he returns home. The last time they bought land for the second house and hired someone to do the work, they didn't get any benefits, so the Wang family used him to be angry, which made him afraid of the Wang family now.

In the blink of an eye, it is time for the new house to break ground.

Although they greeted Shopkeeper Li in advance and didn't have to deliver the goods to Zuixianlou at the usual time today, Zhao Dalin's family still got up early to prepare. Everyone's face is beaming, happier than the New Year.

The three sisters and brothers of the jade girl and Aunt Zhang also came over to help early, and Aunt Zhang also called Yingzi and Xiaozhuzi over to help fight or something.

The courtyard of Zhao Dalin's house suddenly became very lively.

When it was almost midnight, two carriages came to Gangtou Village, which attracted the attention of the villagers. The carriage went all the way west to the door of Zhao Dalin's house before stopping.

"Is Zhao Dongjia here?" A burly man in his forties with a beard stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted loudly.

"Here we are." Zhao Dalin hurriedly greeted him and said enthusiastically to the visitor: "Master Liu, it's hard work." Come, let's go inside and have a cup of tea. “

"No need, let's go to the construction site first, it's not good to delay the start of construction." The man waved his hand, not intending to enter the house.

"Okay, then we'll go over now." Zhao Dalin was not polite, and strode in front to lead the way.

Subsequently, He Cuifang and the others brought the sacrificial supplies needed for the groundbreaking ceremony and set off. Lin Yunxuan specially called Luo Yao and followed them over.

During the time he lived in Zhao Dalin's house, Luo Yao didn't show up much, most of the time he was in the room, and Zhao Dalin's family didn't dare to disturb him because of Lin Yunxuan's previous advice, so not many people knew about his existence so far.

However, today is the groundbreaking ceremony of the new house, and he is also the person who came up to help build the house in name, so Lin Yunxuan feels that he also has to participate in today's ceremony, and it is good to make a show for Zhao Dalin's family.

The villagers who passed by saw Zhao Dalin taking the carriage to the wasteland in the west, and heard that their new house was going to break ground today, so they also went to join in the fun.

Lin Yunxuan was not interested in the groundbreaking ceremony, and after the ceremony began, she felt bored after a few glances, so she greeted He Cuifang and turned around to go home to prepare for the opening banquet.

Luo Yao saw that Lin Yunxuan was about to go home, so he left with her.

When the two walked fifty meters away from the courtyard of Zhao Dalin's house, Luo Yao noticed a trace of abnormality. He made a silent gesture towards Lin Yunxuan, approached the courtyard lightly, jumped over the fence lightly, jumped into the courtyard, and leaned towards the hall.

Lin Yunxuan saw Luo Yao leaning against the wall from a distance, tilting his head sideways and glancing in through the crack in the open window of the hall, and then jumped into the room through the window.

As soon as Lin Yunxuan walked to the gate of the courtyard, she heard a clicking sound from inside the house, followed by a man's cry for mercy like a pig.

Lin Yunxuan pushed open the door of the hall, only to see that the bed where Zhao An usually slept had been scattered on the ground, and the locker placed next to the wall obviously had traces of being turned over. A man fell to his knees, face down, his hands and arms hanging limply beside him. Luo Yao stepped on him, glanced at him condescendingly, and then stopped looking at him.

"His arm has been removed by me." Luo Yao saw Lin Yunxuan come in and said lightly.

Lin Yunxuan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Luo Yao, as if to say, does it need to be so violent?

Luo Yao seemed to understand what she meant, and gave her a "this is already the lightest" look.

The corners of Lin Yunxuan's mouth twitched, she no longer paid attention to Luo Yao, squatted down and carefully turned the head of the man on the ground.

"Zhao Daping?" Lin Yunxuan's exclamation blurted out, she never expected that the thief who broke into the house was actually Zhao Daping.

"You know him?" Luo Yao raised his eyebrows.

"Well, he's my uncle's eldest brother." Lin Yunxuan raised her eyes and glanced at Luo Yao, pursed her lips and said.

"Help, Xiaoxuan, help me!" Zhao Daping recognized Lin Yunxuan and endured the pain and asked Lin Yunxuan for help.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Yunxuan's heart sank, and she couldn't figure out why Zhao Daping sneakily came to Zhao Dalin's house, was it stealing or had another plan?

"Hiss ~ it hurts, it hurts, my arm hurts!" Zhao Daping didn't answer Lin Yunxuan's question, he wanted Lin Yunxuan's sympathy with a painful look, and asked her to help take her arm back first, "Good niece, can you help the uncle put the arm back first?" It hurts me to death. “

"Want to put your arm back? Okay, tell me why you're here. Lin Yunxuan looked at Zhao Daping coldly.

"I, I'll come over to see the second brother." Zhao Daping said with a sad face.

"I don't want to tell the truth, right? Today is a good day for the new house to break ground, and I don't want Aunt Fang to be discouraged by something unhappy. Luo Yao, tie him up, find something to plug his mouth, and when Uncle and they are done, we will deal with him again. Lin Yunxuan said coldly.

No matter what the purpose of Zhao Daping coming to Zhao Dalin's house is, since he came secretly, it is definitely not a good thing. There's no need to let this kind of person ruin everyone's interest.

"No, don't! Xiaoxuan, I'm an uncle, your uncle's eldest brother. You can't do that to me. Zhao Daping heard that Lin Yunxuan was going to tie him up, and he didn't help him take his arm back, and cried out in horror, "I really just came to see the second brother." ”

"Oh, is it? I'd rather see if your mouth is hard or your arms are hard. Lin Yunxuan snorted coldly.
