The self-reversal of the cannon fodder fat wife
Chapter 123: Unable to open the pot
Before the pickpockets could react, Teng Ke made another side kick, knocking the dagger of pickpocket number three away.
The three men came to their senses, looked at each other, and surrounded Teng Ke. The pickpocket took a step first and attacked Teng Ke's lower body directly, but Teng Ke was no pushover and jumped up to avoid the attack.
Unexpectedly, at this time, pickpocket 2 and pickpocket 3 came up and tried to grab Teng Ke's upper body at the same time, intending to use this method to stop him from moving, so that pickpocket 1 could succeed. However, Teng Ke grabbed the two men's arms with his backhand, turned around, and threw them out, just throwing pickpocket 2 onto pickpocket 1, and the two fell to the ground.
There were a few people watching nearby who were just trying to help others. When they saw the two pickpockets fall to the ground, several of them went straight forward and held them down together, not giving them a chance to get up.
When pickpocket No. 3 saw that his companions had been caught, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape.
Teng Ke could see his intention, so he picked up the chair next to him and smashed it on his head. Pickpocket No. 3 was hit hard on the head and fell to the ground, bleeding.
The crowd came forward again and subdued and tied him up.
"so amazing!"
The people around were so excited that they started clapping their hands.
Teng Ke bowed to everyone, then walked up to the three pickpockets and said, "Take out all the money they stole and return it to everyone."
"Let them pay compensation to the owners of the steamed bun and wonton shops for destroying their belongings."
One of the brave men stepped forward and saluted Teng Ke: "Don't worry, sir, we will definitely supervise these three people."
"After paying the compensation, we will send you directly to the government office!"
Teng Ke responded: "Thank you!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, returning to Yinuo's side.
The couple who owned the bun shop were very grateful and wanted to kneel down to greet him, but were stopped by Teng Ke.
Yinuo took out a tael of silver and gave it to the proprietress of the bun shop: "Madam, this is the money for our buns and tea, please keep it."
The old lady hurriedly refused: "No, no, you are embarrassing us, Madam!"
"You have done us a great favor. Those people will compensate us. We cannot ask for your tea money, and we don't need that much tea money."
Yinuo looked at Teng Ke embarrassedly. Teng Ke turned away embarrassedly and said, "Madam, don't look at me. I don't understand the ways of the world."
Brother Teng Runhong suddenly said in a baby voice: "Grandma, we all like your buns very much. How about you give us a few more buns?"
"You guys keep this money. My father and mother are not the kind of people who take advantage of others."
As he said this, the brother took the silver from Yinuo's hand and handed it to the aunt.
My younger brother also helped and said, "Yes, yes, we like steamed buns."
The old lady's heart melted when she saw the two cute little babies. She quickly agreed, "Sit for a while. I'll pack them up for you."
My brother gave a big little face in reply: "Thank you grandma, we will bring some back for grandma to eat."
Yinuo gently touched the two children's heads and said, "You did the right thing. That's great."
The younger brother laughed even more happily, but the older brother blushed, but gave Teng Ke a smug look.
. . . . . .
And at this time in Taohua Village.
The Yi family didn't know that Yinuo had returned to Xiao County.
As it was getting dark, Lin Xia took her grandson Yi Xiaodong to the mountain to cut grass for pigs. The autumn heat was still very strong. The sun at noon was strong and dry, and the faces of the grandparents and grandson were red.
Although Yi Dong was only seven years old, he worked very efficiently. He got a handful of food in one go and threw it directly into the backpack, wiped the sweat off his face and continued working.
"Grandma, is it time to go back and cook?"
Lin Xia’s husband Yi Yuan fell from a tree while climbing it to pick fruit a few days ago and has been recuperating at home during this time.
My daughter-in-law Wu Fang didn't know she was pregnant. She fell while cutting grass for the pigs and lost the baby. She also has to recuperate at home.
The whole family now depends on the eldest son Yicheng's hunting. He went out the day before yesterday and hasn't come back yet. I don't know if he can hunt anything. She can sell the grass she cuts for pigs for a few copper coins, but it's not enough to pay for the old man's leg treatment. Now the family is completely unable to make ends meet.
Lin Xia was busy cutting grass for the pigs and said nothing. She was thinking about what to cook tonight. After the autumn harvest and the payment of taxes, there was not much food left at home. It seemed that they could only eat pumpkin. There were still a few pumpkins at home that had not gone bad.
After making up her mind, she looked up at her grandson and touched his head lovingly: "Let's go, grandma will cook you something delicious when we get home."
Yi Xiaodong nodded obediently, put the sickle into the backpack, and walked home holding his grandmother's hand.
He was only seven years old, at the age of being innocent and playful. Although he did not have enough food to eat every day, he did not feel it was bitter. He skipped and jumped all the way, and even picked a piece of foxtail grass and played with it as he walked.
"Ah, grandma, can daddy come back tonight? We are out of firewood at home. Do we have to go up the mountain to chop firewood tomorrow?"
Lin Xia was also worried about her eldest son. She was a little absent-minded, but she still responded to her eldest grandson: "I don't know. Go home and see if your father is back."
"it is good!"
Yi Xiaodong nodded obediently, stopped talking, and followed his grandmother home.
Their house was at the end of the village, close to the mountain, so they got home quickly. Their house had five adobe houses, with the main room in the middle and two rooms on each side, each for the couple and their three children. There was a large shed in front of the yard, which was the kitchen. There was also a large shed in front of the main room, with a table for eating. There was also a small thatched hut on the far left of the yard and a chicken coop on the far right.
Such family conditions are not bad in the village.
Hearing the noise in the yard, Yi Yuan hopped out on one foot. Seeing that it was the grandparents and grandchildren, he was a little surprised.
"You're back so early today?"
Lin Xia was very tired, so she asked the child to sit down with her and have some tea.
"Where's Ah Cheng? Hasn't he come back yet?"
"Tomorrow is market day. Let him catch all the chickens at home and sell them. Keep the hen that lays eggs. Ah Fang still needs to replenish her body."
Wu Fang had been lying in bed for a few days and could no longer stay there, so she walked around the house with a cloth wrapped around her headscarf. When she heard her parents-in-law talking, she stuck her head out to listen. When she heard what her mother-in-law said, she hurriedly opened the window and loudly refused.
"Mom, we can't sell it. How will Xiaohao pay for his living expenses? It's better to fatten him up so that he can sell it for more money later."
Lin Xia was startled at first, then she said firmly: "Sell it. It's difficult now. We'll find a way for Xiaohao when the time comes."
Yi Yuan felt very guilty. If he hadn't fallen accidentally, he would not be able to make money and would have to spend a lot of money.
"I won't treat my legs for now, but I can still walk like this."
In order to convince them, he even jumped twice to show off his strength.
Lin Xia was so scared that she quickly supported him, a little angry. She knew her husband had good intentions and just didn't want to drag down the family. She wanted to curse but held back and comforted him, "Nonsense, you can earn more in the future only if you get your leg healed."
"Who will farm the land next year? Do you want me to plow the land by myself?"
Yi Yuan quickly explained: "How can I let you go by yourself? That would be so hard!"
