Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Throwing the rag on the stove, Xu Lan lowered her eyes and began to patrol the yard.

"Yan Wenxuan, what are you still sitting here for? The village party secretary and the village chief have already left. You should go back and write a self-criticism." Xu Mei, who was restless, turned and went into the house, only to find Yan Wenxuan still slumped on the ground.

Outside the window, several teenagers who were watching the excitement lost interest and left in boredom. Su Wanwan returned to the radio station. Although she was working at the radio station, her heart was still with the Xu family. She would occasionally glance at what was going on there while writing articles.

In the afternoon, due to the previous incident, there was a commotion. Most of the villagers were busy working in the fields and cowsheds in the afternoon, and few people gathered in front of the Xu family. In addition, the radio station where Su Wanwan worked was remote, and there were not many passers-by, so there was no new news update.

"I say, if it weren't for your third brother instigating, your eldest and second sisters wouldn't treat you like that." Suddenly, when Su Wanwan was checking whether the slogans on the several manuscripts in front of her were correct, she heard footsteps. The footsteps stopped, and then the deep voice of a young man came through the window behind the radio station.

"That's right. Before, when we had abundant supplies at home, we supplied you with them first. Your father was treated like that as soon as he was sent to the city. They have been feeling uncomfortable with you for a long time, but they just couldn't get angry!" Xu En was surrounded by several serious companions.

Su Wanwan turned her head following the sound and looked towards the window behind her. Sure enough, she saw a few young men of similar age to Xu En, with hoarse voices, gathered together.

"Then what do you say we should do now? He is so powerful that he can even drive back such a big car. How can we compete with him?" Xu Yan looked rarely disappointed. The fat on his cheeks even squeezed his eyes until only two slits were left.

The young man next to him quickly made a suggestion, "I think you should let your sisters-in-law understand how important you are in the family. After all, if you don't mention it, how can they care? After all, I heard that your third brother should be very good at making money."

"I can consider going back home directly and smashing his car in the dark. Isn't the car parked in the yard anyway? I can just do it quietly when no one is around." The young man added.

Su Wanwan, who was listening to their whispered discussions in the studio, silently stopped what she was doing, slowly pushed away the paper on the tray, and listened attentively to the discussion outside.

"No, my eldest sister and second sister rarely leave home. Even when we go to bed in the middle of the night, our whole family stays in the same large bedroom. To think that they could sneak in and smash the car... is almost impossible." She couldn't help but recall the layout of the Xu family's house.

Although the Xu family's house was not small, it had limited rooms available for accommodation. One room was reserved for the grandfather and his two children, and the other was for the two older sisters. After his father passed away, the bedroom configuration must have been adjusted, and now Xu En and his two sisters should live in the same room.

"Why don't you live in the same room with your two sisters?" a young man with slightly dry and yellow hair asked.

"What else can we do? There are only two rooms in total. Do I really have to sleep with my third brother?" Xu En answered dissatisfiedly. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes for a moment, and he suddenly grabbed the arm of the yellow-haired boy tightly.

"Huang Zai, are you willing to help me?"

"You mean... we are going to destroy the car together?" The young man named Huang Zai was surprised, obviously not expecting to be involved in such a responsibility.

"We have always been good friends, Da Huang, Er Mao, and Zhu Zi." The three young men surrounding Xu En fell into deep thought, and Huang Zi finally broke the silence: "What if your third brother finds out? It's okay if you smash it yourself. Even if you get caught, after all, we are family, and at most you will be scolded. But if we do something, will we be asked to pay for the loss?"

Huang Zai's words aroused everyone's concerns. Another person named Ermao quickly added: "How much is that car worth? Judging from the look on our Party Secretary Wang's face, he probably can't afford such a big car."

Although they were young, they knew that food was a top priority in this era. Who would have extra money to buy such a big thing? If it was damaged, their shared wealth would probably not be enough to make up for the loss.

"What are you worried about? Didn't you already say it? Anyway, the car broke down and it's our family's fault. They can't do anything to me because of this. Just do it. If you are found out, I will say that I told you to do it." Xu En's eyes flashed with cunning, and the young men in front of him fell silent again.

In the end, it was Old Huang who nodded first to express his agreement.

"My sisters go to bed early and our third brother's condition is unclear. It will be difficult if he comes back. I will find a way to borrow money from him, and then we will divide the money for buying food equally." Several people put their heads together and plotted the time to act at night. They even chose the weapon and the location, and took nearby stones. After the discussion, they dispersed with satisfaction.

But the moment Xu En and Lao Huang turned around, they saw Su Wanwan, who was not far away, listening to the whole process with a slight smile on her lips.

"Are you not moving? Didn't you say you were going to carry out the plan of smashing the car?"

Su Wanwan stopped talking and left the radio station midway, walking silently to the back of the house. The young people were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice her silent arrival at all.

"Why are you standing so close? Aren't you afraid of being heard?" When she said this, several people felt uneasy.

"Do you know how much that car is worth?" she asked calmly. The young people were like clay scarecrows, not daring to speak or move at all, staring blankly at Su Wanwan, who was slightly taller than them.

"The price of the jeep is 30,000." Knowing that they had no intuitive feeling, Su Wanwan added that it was a price she had glimpsed in some scattered reading materials.

"Based on a monthly salary of 30 yuan, it would take nearly 80 years without food or drink to be able to afford it."

It was obvious that they didn't believe the price, but their expressions of fear revealed that they had heard it. "If you don't believe me, you can go and check to confirm that I'm not lying."

After she finished speaking, she slowly walked away, with a smile on her face, but also a sigh of fear. If these young men had not discussed secretly at the radio station and she had not happened to see them, perhaps Xu Yan would have to be wary of the thief lurking in her house.

After standing in front of Xu En, although Su Wanwan's words were not intimidating, they were enough to make Xu En, who could not bear the pressure, burst into tears.

"Why did you smash your brother's car?" Su Wanwan questioned, her tone was calm but touched the heart.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from Xu En's eyes, and several friends around him also stepped back. His silence naturally meant that he accepted her questioning.

"What are you talking about?" Su Wanwan snorted, her tone dissatisfied, "You can't even put yourself in the right place at home? Your father might have been tolerant of you when he was alive, but now, do you know how old you are?"
