After a short time, Wang Ma cleaned up the house and turned to the courtyard.

The yard, which was originally good, looked very dilapidated at this time - I saw that the original wall was only half a section high, and the walls were full of stains.

The gate of the courtyard is also very dilapidated, there is a big hole in the middle of the whole gate, and there are some branches and other objects hanging on it.

There were originally two tall welcome pines at the gate, but at this time, they were also missing for some days, Wang Ma looked at the dilapidated scene in front of her, and then thought of what Sister-in-law Qian had said to herself, and couldn't help but worry - whether all this was really related to Sister-in-law Qian's child.

Fortunately, the rain that had been going on for many days finally stopped, and the sky showed the sun, otherwise I really don't know how long this house will last.

Wang's mother hurriedly cleaned up, and then opened the courtyard door and prepared to go outside to get some fresh food and vegetables.

Brother Qian hasn't been back for a long time, it is said that it was because he met robbers while doing business outside, and he still has no certainty whether he will live or die.

In the past, every time Brother Qian went out, it was at least ten days and a half a month, and at most every three months, he must come back once, but since Sister-in-law Qian became pregnant, Brother Qian never came back after he went out.

It's rare for Wang's mother to stay in the Qian family so loyally, and she will never abandon Sister-in-law Qian, otherwise I'm afraid that Sister-in-law Qian won't be able to support her now.

If it was before, it was nothing, receiving a monthly salary and living a stable life, which was the best for Wang's mother. It's just that after Sister-in-law Qian became pregnant, Brother Qian was not at home, and the village was robbed during these days, and the originally wealthy village suddenly became decaying.

As the saying goes, food and clothing are thought of, and hunger steals hearts, which is a true portrayal of the current Xiaohe Village.

Since Brother Qian left, only Sister-in-law Qian and Mother Wang were left in the family, and recently encountered an era of war and chaos, so Sister-in-law Qian's family was left to be bullied in this village. In order to take care of Sister-in-law Qian and the child in her belly, Wang's mother will take out the salary she has saved from time to time to subsidize the family.

Wang Ma was walking on the village road, when she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and soon heard the sound of robbers entering the village with the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

Mother Wang couldn't care about looking for food and vegetables anymore, so she hurriedly turned around and ran back to Sister-in-law Qian's house, closed the broken door, walked into Sister-in-law's house, sat at the head of Sister-in-law's bed, and prayed in her heart that the robbers outside would never break into the house again.

Wang Ma was worried when she heard the sound of someone kicking down the door.

"Mother Wang, what's the sound outside, why is it so noisy?" Sister-in-law Qian was relatively weak because she had just given birth, so she didn't hear the noise outside until the door was woken up by the sound of being pushed in.

"Sister-in-law Qian, lie down quickly! There are robbers who have entered the village in our courtyard! Lie down quickly, I will help you cover the quilt, but you must not make a sound, lest these robbers come in and be detrimental to you and the child!" Wang Ma said as she covered Sister-in-law Qian and the child with the quilt! After doing all this, she walked straight to the courtyard.

At this time, there were already five or six big men in the courtyard, all holding steel knives with fierce faces.

Two of these big men were standing in the doorway, on either side of the gate, and a few were approaching the door from one side of the courtyard wall, also on both sides.

After these big men stood up, a big man outside the door with a scar on his face extending from the corner of his left eye to the corner of his mouth slowly walked into the courtyard from outside the gate, followed by a charming bald head.

Wang Ma knew at a glance that the gate just now must have been kicked down by this scarface and bald head.

"Big brother!" Scarface and bald head had just entered the courtyard, and the big man who was standing in the courtyard before opened his mouth.

"Well, this one looks good, have you looked around to see if there are any chickens and ducks or something, hurry up and catch them first! Lao Tzu will have to do business later!" Scarface shouted directly to the group of subordinates as if he didn't see Wang Ma.

"Big brother, seeing that this yard is so tidy, there is not even a bit of chicken manure, there must be no chickens and ducks or anything like that. What are you talking about...... , hehe......" The bald head pinched Scarface.

After listening to the bald head, everyone began to grab melons and touch dates on their heads one by one, with a lewd smile on their faces.

When Wang Ma saw this scene, she knew that she couldn't do it, but she had no choice but to take the initiative to step forward, hoping to stop these robbers from entering the room where Sister-in-law Qian was.

"A few masters, you see that my yard has become a broken wall, a few tiled houses have been broken like this, there is really nothing valuable at home, and there is nothing good to entertain you, please don't delay your own time, or hurry up to other houses to see, maybe you can get something valuable!" Wang Ma said to this group of robbers.

"Yo! I really didn't expect that in this poor and remote place, there is such a bold old woman who dares to talk to our brothers in such a tone, it's really rare!" Scar Zero said to Wang Ma contemptuously.

After speaking, Scarface's tone changed, and then he said fiercely to Wang's mother: "Yes, old woman, your family really has nothing valuable, why does Lao Tzu always think that you are cheating on our brothers? If I find out something good, I want you to look good!"

"Why are you still stunned, why don't you guys hurry up and search!" Scarface said to a few big men next to him.

"Brother, search!" one of them added after Scarface finished speaking, and then took the rest of the room first.

"You, what are you going to do? Stop, I said there was nothing here, why don't you believe it!" Wang Ma said to the bandits in front of her, and opened her arms to block the way of a few people.

"Look for death!" said one of the big men, raising the steel knife in his hand and about to cut it like Wang Ma.

"What are you doing, how many times have I told you, treat women more elegantly, gently, don't be so rude! You see, although the other party is an old mother, but the old mother is also a woman, right?" said to the big man with a bald head and a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, the head of the eagle apprentice teaches a lesson, subordinates, in the future, be a little more elegant!" After speaking, the scumbag turned to Wang Ma and said: "Old mother, for the sake of our eagle apprentice manager, spare your life today, hurry up and get out of the way for the master, and the brothers will go into the house to search to see if what you said is true, and go by the way to find a good thing for our boss." ”
