Chapter 5 Conspiracy Theories
"Oooh, madam, I'm so scared!"
Xiao Huan hugged Shang Wan, and all the grievances and fears that had been suppressed in her heart surged up. She cried until tears ran down her nose, and she sobbed, "Can I castrate them?"
"Of course."
Shang Wan ducked back to the kitchen, took out the sharply sharpened kitchen knife, and handed it over, "As long as you don't leave any psychological shadow, you can chop these three scum into mincemeat."
Chop, chop into minced meat?
When Xiaohuan stopped crying, she raised her eyes red with tears and looked at Shang Wan stupidly.
Shang Wan raised his eyebrows and said, "Want me to help you? That's fine."
She picked up the kitchen knife and left. Xiaohuan was so frightened that he quickly grabbed her arm. He didn't even bother to wipe her tears and said anxiously: "Young lady, wait a minute! Murder is against the law!"
Those three scum don’t deserve to be punished with their lives!
Shang Wan looked back at her and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I have many ways to prevent the government from finding out. Do you just want to kill these three scum?"
Of course I thought so.
Xiao Huan tightened her hands, and the fear of being almost bullied still remained in her body, making her feel cold all over. If the young lady hadn't come back in time, she might have...
But when she thought that it would cost Shang Wan his life, she began to hesitate again.
For a moment, heaven and man were at war in my heart, unable to make a decision.
Shang Wan did not rush her, and stretched out his fingers to be held by his round fleshy hands.
The little milk baby's thick eyelashes were wet with tears, her face was red from crying and the tears were still wet, her red mouth was flat, and she kept calling for mother. Her delicate little voice had just become mute from crying, and she sounded extremely aggrieved.
Shang Wan had no choice but to shake the baby to comfort him.
Xiaohuan took a deep breath and finally made a decision, "Young madam, let's wait until Shitou comes back and send them all to the official court."
She couldn't involve the young lady with her life.
"Okay." Shang Wan respects her decision. The bearded man on the left and right has been kicked to pieces by her. Even if he survives, he will be paralyzed on the bed and be a breathless waste for the rest of his life.
She handed the swaddling clothes to Xiao Huan, took out a bundle of hemp rope from the cellar, tied the short man and the bamboo pole man to the stone mill in the yard, then dragged the bearded man into the yard and threw them in the corner.
The short man fell unconscious due to the severe pain in his legs, leaving the bamboo pole man still conscious.
Shang Wan walked up to the man with the bamboo pole and asked coldly: "Who asked you to come?"
They just moved in last night, and three gangsters came to their door today. How could such a coincidence happen?
"No one." The man with the bamboo pole shrank his shoulders, "We just heard that someone lives in this shabby thatched house, and we came to take a look out of curiosity."
"just looking?"
"I, we..." The man with the bamboo pole hesitated.
Shang Wan didn't have the patience, so he slapped him. The man with the bamboo pole felt that his head was almost blown away, and the pain made tears and snot flow out uncontrollably.
Why is this woman's hand stronger than that of a man?
Seeing that Shang Wan's slap was about to fall, he shrank his neck in fear and begged for mercy with his red and swollen cheeks, "Don't, don't hit me! Can't I do it?"
Shang Wan flicked his wrist and stared at him coldly.
The man with the bamboo pole honestly told the whole story.
It turns out that the short man and the man with the bamboo pole are both middle-aged men in the village, one is the fourth son of the Luo family and the other is the second son of the Liu family.
The bearded man is the third eldest son of the Chen family. He is from the next door Liushu Village. He is a well-known bully in this area because of his physical strength and good fists. He does a lot of bullying. The three of them hang out together all day long, doing nothing and stealing.
The visit this time had something to do with Shang Wan. To be precise, it had something to do with the silver hairpin that Shang Wan gave stones to exchange for food.
Shitou visited several houses last night, but none of them were willing to give him anything in exchange. Finally, he knocked on the door of the village chief's house and explained the situation clearly, and then they were willing to give him something in exchange.
Coincidentally, Chen San's second sister, Chen Guifang, is the daughter-in-law of Lin Lao'er, the village chief's family. Today, Chen San went to the village chief's house as a guest and saw the silver hairpin in Chen Guifang's hair at a glance.
After all, Lu Chengjing was the third young master of the Lu family. Even if he was no longer taken seriously by his family, the Lu family was still there, so how could the gift of love be bad?
Although it is just a silver hairpin, the workmanship and carvings are exquisite, which is different from what Chen Guifang usually wears.
Chen Sanyi asked Chen Guifang and told him. He immediately thought of it and called Luo Si and Liu Er over. His original intention was to collect a protection fee.
But the three of them squatted far away for a long time, and when they saw that there was only a woman and a baby in the small courtyard, not even a man, and seeing Xiaohuan's handsome appearance, they thought they had something wrong with them.
When Xiaohuan turned his back to wash diapers, he got close to him, grabbed him, and threatened the child, forcing Xiaohuan to submit.
They had done this kind of thing a lot, and they were quite familiar with it. They didn't expect that they would overturn today.
After hearing the cause and effect, Shang Wan raised his hand and slapped Liu Er again.
Liu Er was a little aggrieved. Why didn't he fight him if he said he would tell the truth honestly?
Shang Wan asked: "Chen San and Chen Guifang have a good relationship?"
Liu Er didn't dare not answer. He nodded and said honestly: "Brother Chen is the only one in the Chen family. He will stick to him for any good thing in the Chen family. Sister Guifang doted on this younger brother the most before she got married."
Hearing this, a dark light flashed across Shang Wan's eyes.
She didn't want to think too badly of him, but her mother-in-law was still alive and Chen Guifang had a sister-in-law, so there was no way the silver hairpin would fall into the hands of her second daughter-in-law.
Besides, who in the village would wear gold and silver jewelry on their heads unless they were visiting relatives and friends?
It's spring planting now, and every household is working in the fields, so it's impossible to wear one. What if I lose it?
But the silver hairpin happened to appear on Chen Guifang's head when Chen San came to the door.
Then Chen Guifang knew Chen San's bad behavior, but she still let it slip in front of him. Wasn't this intending to let Chen San come to his door to do evil?
If Chen San and the others succeed this time, there will definitely be another time, and the next time.
Although the thatched house is located far away from other houses in the village, it is still within the scope of Yushu Village and is under the jurisdiction of the village chief.
If they are really a lonely family with children and are bullied repeatedly, the only way is to seek protection from the village chief, abide by the rules of the village, and at least show some filial piety.
So, is this a deliberate attempt to intimidate them, or is it a test?
Shang Wan thought about it carefully, maybe she had a conspiracy theory, but since she was not familiar with the place, she would rather think more, otherwise she would not know who was plotting against her.
She thought for a while and changed her mind, raised her eyes and said to Xiaohuan: "You pack the things in the backpack and leave the two wild ducks to hatch their eggs. I'll go to the village chief's house."
After she finished explaining, she picked up Chen San and walked out.
No matter what it is, you’ll know once you go there.
The village chief's house is the only house built with blue bricks in Yushu Village. It is particularly conspicuous among the houses with solid earth walls. Shang Wan found it with almost no effort.
The small courtyard is surrounded by a red brick wall, and there are several large shading trees on the east and west sides. The branches are lush and leafy, which is perfect for hiding people.
When Shang Wan heard that there was someone in the yard, he raised his hand and threw Chen San into the yard. He jumped up the tree lightly with his toes, his slender figure completely covered by the branches and leaves.
