Chapter 96: The Badger Rushes into the Melon Field Without Hesitation

The group finished their early shift after collecting groceries.

"Mom, Dad, when you get home, you can rest at our house for a while and come back after dinner."

"No, no, no. We've already eaten so much before, how can we stay here for a meal? Let's just go back and eat by ourselves." The old lady waved her hand and was about to go home.

"Yes, second son's wife, tomorrow is market day again and you have to go to town. There are still many things to do today. Don't worry about us, Yulian is taking care of it at home." The old man put his hands behind his back and was about to take his family home.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at each other, stepped forward, took Old Lady Chen's arm on each side, and pulled her towards their home: "Mom, you have to eat. How can you work without eating? Dashu! Erhe! Hold on to your grandfather!"

Dashu and Erhe hurried forward and held the old man on the left and right, not caring that the old man was carried forward without even touching the ground.

"Dashu! Erhe! Put me down! You two bastards, why are you holding me up..." No matter how the old man struggled and shouted, the two boys just wouldn't let go.

Several children also reacted and stepped forward to hold back the people who were about to leave.

The old man and the old lady were carried away, and the other people did not struggle anymore and let them be dragged towards Zheng Yuan's house.

"Alright, alright, let me go, we'll follow you." Seeing that her struggle was futile, the old lady gave up struggling.

The two of them smiled and let go of the old lady's hands. The old lady patted her clothes that were wrinkled by them and glared at them unhappily.

"Put me down now! You two bastards!" Old Master Chen felt like his bones were about to be broken by these two boys.

Seeing that their grandmother had been released, the two boys also loosened their hands. Old Master Chen didn't notice that they suddenly let go, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground. He was so angry that he stood up and hit the two boys on the head.

Dashu and Erhe were not angry either. They just touched their foreheads and smiled foolishly with embarrassment.

The family walked towards home noisily. Mr. Jiang followed behind and looked at this heartwarming scene. He suddenly thought of his grandparents who were thousands of miles away, and his nose felt a little sore.

Before I reached the door of my house, I heard sounds of smashing and crying. I looked up and saw a circle of people gathered at Liu Cuilan's house next door.

The two men quickly let go of the old lady's hand and rushed towards the crowd in two steps, like two badger rushing into a melon field without hesitation.

The old lady looked at her empty hands, then at the backs of the two men quickly disappearing into the crowd in amazement, then she reacted and rushed up as well.

"What's going on?" The two of them squeezed to the front row with their flexible bodies. They naturally took a few melon seeds from the lady in the front row and asked while eating.

"Oh! Chen Houjin's family sold the land to this group of people. Look, they are holding the land deed and asking them to quickly copy out the land, saying that they are going to sell it. How could Chen Houjin agree? Right now, that group of people are smashing and destroying things in the yard." The old lady picked up a melon seed and quietly pointed at the ferocious group of people in the yard, fearing that they would see her.

"Aunt Ping, you didn't even understand what was going on even though you were watching the show. It's not what you said." A woman nearby heard Aunt Ping's version and turned around to correct her.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin turned their heads to look at the woman again, their faces full of curiosity.

The woman didn't keep it a secret, "They didn't sell the deed, and Chen Houjin wasn't crazy. I was the first to arrive, and I heard everything. The deed was stolen by a thief who went to the market in Zhonghe Town and took it into town. The thief was a bastard, and after stealing it, he went to the gambling house to bet. Since he had no money, he just pawned the deed there. The gambling house is not a charity, and they naturally came to collect the debt after taking the deed."

Lost it in town at the last market? They both felt a pang in their hearts.

"Is Liu Cuilan crazy? Why is she going to the market with the land deed?"

"She said she wanted to do the ice jelly business, and the nobleman in the town said that she would have to mortgage the land deed in order to give her the ice. Liu Cuilan was tempted. But who would have thought that the ice jelly business failed and the land deed was lost. She just refused to tell us, and it was only when Chen Houjin said that if she didn't tell him how she lost it, he would divorce her and send her back home that she told him. Tsk tsk..."

"Hey~Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Zhao, aren't you the ones running the ice jelly business? Did you really give your land deeds to the manager?" The woman suddenly realized that these two were the ones who were doing the ice jelly business in the beginning.

When they heard her words, everyone around them turned around and looked at them, with inquiry and suspicion in their eyes.

When they heard about the mortgaged land deed, they had a bad feeling, and sure enough, the fire came.

Uncles and aunts, can you please stop looking at us like this? We are sweating so much.

"Yes, we used the land deed to give to Manager Zhang as collateral to get the ice. But we really don't know what happened to Aunt Liu's land deed."

At this point, all they can do is to insist that they got the ice by using the land deed as collateral to Manager Zhang. Manager Zhang has already said that he is not afraid of their investigation. As for how Liu Cuilan lost the land deed, it is not difficult to guess.

It was just that after listening to what the two of them said, he still didn't give up and thought of taking a gamble, so he found Manager Zhang with the land deed, but it was stolen by a thief in the town.

If they knew this would happen, they would definitely not make up a story that they had to mortgage the land deed to get Bing.

Looking at the yard next door, it was a mess. The honest Chen Houjin squatted in the yard and kept scratching his head, Chen Xuecai and Wang Caifeng begged for mercy to the burly debt collector, and Liu Cuilan was lying on the ground crying and wailing.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin felt a surge of guilt and sympathy.

They are not saints, but they cannot bear to see farmers who have worked hard all their lives lose the land they have worked hard for all their lives because of thieves.

Although they were not the ones who directly caused Liu Cuilan's land deed to be stolen, a closer look revealed that the fundamental reason for the loss of Liu Cuilan's land deed was their excuses.

After stuffing the melon seeds in their hands into Aunt Aping's hands, the two of them pushed aside the people beside them and went into Liu Cuilan's yard.

Aunt Ping was stunned for a moment as she looked at the melon seeds that returned to her hand.

As soon as Mrs. Chen squeezed next to the two of them, she saw them go into the yard next door. She cursed them in her heart for getting involved again! But she was still worried that they would be relied on, so she slapped her thigh and followed them.

Just as the two of them entered the room and were about to speak, Liu Cuilan stopped crying as soon as she saw them, and rushed over to them, crawling and trying to beat them.

The two of them reacted quickly and took a step back, so Liu Cuilan missed.

When Chen Houjin saw his wife's crazy look, he dropped the pipe in his hand, stood up, blocked the two of them and scolded Liu Cuilan who was about to rush forward.

"What are you crazy about?! You think it's not embarrassing enough?"

"Old man! It's all their fault! It's all their fault! If they hadn't said that the ice would only be given to me with my own land deed as collateral, how could I have gone to the town with the land deed, and how could it have been stolen by thieves! Old man! Xuecai! Catch them both quickly and make them pay these masters for their money! Wuuuuuu..."

"Damn these two widows! Unlucky! They killed their own men, and now they want to bring disaster to our family!"

After hearing this accusation, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were so angry that they almost laughed. This was really a case of their kindness being taken for granted. They really regretted that they had felt sorry for this family and wanted to come out to help solve the problem.
