After transmigrating, he supported his family by working at a garbage dump.

Having scared Zhang Xiaolin away, Xu Wenjie cleaned himself and Xu Zhuzhu up before returning to the house to avoid frightening Zhang He.

Zhang He was inside and couldn't see, but from Zhang Xiaolin's terrified screams, she guessed that Zhang Xiaolin was probably in no better shape.

I suddenly found it funny.

"Oh, right, my husband, I just heard..."

She told Xu Wenjie the purpose of Zhang Xiaolin's visit that night, "Why don't you arrest him on charges of theft and send him to the yamen?"

Zhang He didn't understand, even though they didn't have any ancestral recipes to begin with.

Scaring him off might have vented their anger from last time, but doing this might mean he'll realize what's happening and come looking for trouble again.

Xu Wenjie shook his head. "In this village, the Zhang family is the local tyrant. As long as we live here, there is no way to truly solve the problem once and for all."

The last incident wasn't just because he was wary of the Zhou family behind Wang Xiucai, but also because, on the surface, Zhang Xiaolin hadn't caused them any real harm.

Xu Wenjie had no legitimate reason to argue with the Zhang family too much.

They had planned to live their lives peacefully, since their family lived far away and the minor squabbles of the Zhang family in the village wouldn't affect them.

Surprisingly, even after all this time, Zhang Xiaolin still hasn't given up on the idea of ​​stealing business.

Xu Wenjie lowered his eyes and sneered. Now it seems that Zhang Xiaolin is a despicable person. If you don't bite him hard, he really won't know fear.

So this time, he doesn't want to let Zhang Xiaolin off so easily. As for what he'll do?

Xu Wenjie smiled slyly.

He pinched Xu Zhuzhu's cheek and said, "I'll have to ask our Zhuzhu to do Daddy a small favor."

After saying that, he told the others about his plans.

Xu Zhuzhu had long wanted to teach Zhang Xiaolin a lesson, but as a tiny child, it was easier said than done for her to take any real revenge.

Upon hearing her father's idea, Xu Zhuzhu's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

Zhang He also thought the idea was good, but she was still a little worried. "Wouldn't this be too risky? Why don't I go with Zhuzhu? If all else fails, let An'an go with us."

"I'll go with my sister!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu An hurriedly answered.

The reason for sending so many people is to avoid alerting the enemy. Otherwise, Xu Wenjie would never have let a three-year-old child like Xu Zhuzhu go. However, if it were just Xu An and Xu Zhuzhu, the two children, the target wouldn't be so big.

"Zhuzhu, are you sure you can do it?" Actually, Xu Wenjie was also a little worried. It wasn't that he didn't trust Xu Zhuzhu, but it was just his parents' instinctive concern.

Xu Zhuzhu, who was being questioned, was standing with one hand on her hip, her chin raised high, patting her chest as if to say, "I've got your back."

"Father, Mother, don't worry! Even if things don't work out, I'll just take my brother and run away!"

These words were playful, and although the tone was childish, her eyes revealed a shrewdness beyond her years.

This reminded Xu Wenjie of the scene in the courtyard earlier, and he smiled indulgently. What she said was true, and he believed Xu Zhuzhu.

With Xu An's help, Zhang He felt a little more at ease.

Xu Wenjie dug out the thing that had been hidden in the crack in the wall and handed it to Xu Zhuzhu, saying, "It doesn't need to be hidden too deep, just easy to take out."

Xu Zhuzhu chuckled and pulled Xu An away, disappearing into the house.

……

At this moment, in the Zhang family's courtyard in Laoya Village.

Zhang Xiaolin sat half-reclined in the chair, his face ashen, his right leg stretched out straight.

Zhang Xiaolin's mother, Zhang Chenshi, was wiping away tears while sighing as she tried to help Zhang Xiaolin break open the animal trap.

As soon as he made a move, Zhang Xiaolin screamed in pain. The sudden movement aggravated the wound on his foot, causing it to bleed even more.

Mrs. Zhang was extremely anxious and repeatedly comforted him, "Son, bear with it. If we don't get it out soon, your foot will be ruined."

Meanwhile, his father, Master Zhang, was leaning on a cane, pounding it hard, making a thumping sound on the ground, but he still couldn't vent his anger.

Hearing Zhang Xiaolin's pathetic wailing, he became even more annoyed. "Useless thing! The person is dead, what are you afraid of? Shut up! What's so glorious about this!"

Zhang Xiaolin winced in pain, but managed to glance at his father and said irritably, "Dad, if you saw that scene, you might be even more useless than me! You might even wet your pants in fear. At least I was tricked by that kid Li Quanfu!"

"You...unfilial son!"

Master Zhang snorted coldly and raised his cane to strike Zhang Xiaolin's leg.

"Oh dear! Dad, if you kill me, then no one will take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die."

Master Zhang was so angry that he choked, feeling extremely irritated.

Zhang Xiaolin gritted his teeth in resentment and added another charge against Li Quanfu.

He had just returned from town yesterday when a pack of wolves came to the village that night, causing quite a commotion. Everyone was patrolling in groups with their weapons, and he was forced to follow along and try to take advantage of the chaos.

Later, when they reached the village entrance, Li Quanfu insisted on suggesting that they also go and take a look at the duck's buttocks.

But the sound of the wolf pack was clearly coming from there. Everyone knew that Li Quanfu had a good relationship with the Xu family, so he didn't want to go there to his death, especially since Xu Wenjie's family lived there.

They'd better have all been eaten by wolves!

He cursed angrily.

As expected, under the instructions of his father and third uncle, no one was willing to go, except for a few fearless young men who were willing to go with Li Quanfu to the duck's buttocks.

As a result, the young people who went there came back terrified.

It's said that the Xu Wenjie family of four, who recently moved to Duck Buttock, were eaten by wolves. Blood flowed all over the yard, and not a single intact corpse was left.

He was skeptical, so he specifically asked a young man who had been there before.

When the man heard that he was asking about duck butts, he shook his head and vividly described a horrific scene: blood everywhere, bits of meat scattered all over the place, and so on...

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaolin was startled, but then a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, and his recent depressed mood lifted considerably.

However, in his joy, he recalled what his wife had said to him after that market day.

"Madam Xu said it's a family secret recipe, husband, let's just buy the steamed buns and stop eyeing other people's things..."

Zhang Xiaolin was already seething with anger, so he rushed off to find Wang Xiucai to settle accounts, but he couldn't find him anywhere. As soon as he got home, he heard his wife's words and was so angry that he slapped her across the face.

Even if it weren't for business, he couldn't swallow that insult!

Damn it, that bitch got a temper from who knows where, and hasn't spoken to him since that day.

Wang Xiucai couldn't find anyone, and Zhang Xiaolin was feeling uncomfortable staying in the town, so he decided to go back to the village to discuss things with his father. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in the village, God sent him such a great gift!

Since the Xu family had been eaten by wolves, wouldn't the Xu family's ancestral secret recipe be his for the taking?

So after discussing it with his father, he immediately decided to wait until dawn and go to the Xu family to look for them.

I spent a restless night anxiously.

As soon as it was light, he ran to Xu Wenjie's house.

Peering through the gate, Guo Yaoyao could see that the courtyard was in complete disarray, with bloodstains mixed in with the snow; the scene was quite gruesome…

But the more tragic it was, the happier he became!

Heaven truly has eyes!

Just as I was about to detour into the courtyard, I saw Li Quanfu and his wife walking towards us, one carrying a shovel and the other a machete.

"Damn it, you ruined my plans!"

Zhang Xiaolin cursed under his breath.

Thus, he, who had originally planned to go in to find the secret recipe in the morning, had to leave temporarily, thinking that he would come back later at night to avoid being noticed.

Who would have thought that at night, although the courtyard was quiet and deserted, it had been repaired very thoroughly.

Who else could it be but Li Quanfu!

They ruined his plans and even plotted against him. One day I'll take that kid's position down...

Zhang Xiaolin squinted, pondering how to get revenge, when a sudden pain shot through his foot, and he couldn't help but cry out, "Mom! Be gentle!"

Zhang Chenshi nodded.

Looking at Zhang Xiaolin, who is more trouble than he's worth, and who cries out in agony at the slightest injury, he is utterly pathetic.

Master Zhang felt a tightness in his chest.

Out of sight, out of mind, I decided to go out and avoid the trouble, and also take the animal trap out to throw it away, so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

As soon as he stepped out of the house, he saw two children holding hands by the woodpile in the yard, staring blankly in his direction.

His grandsons all lived in town and had no chance of coming here. He also remembered his son talking about encountering a ghost, and coincidentally, he knew that Xu Wenjie had a son and a daughter.

Master Zhang was completely dumbfounded.

Xu Zhuzhu was stunned for a moment, then gave an awkward smile.

She and her brother had just hidden their things when Zhang Erye suddenly appeared, leaving them looking at each other in bewilderment.

Xu Zhuzhu was stunned for a moment, then immediately took her brother and left.

However, after thinking for a moment, he turned back and quietly took the animal trap from Zhang Erye's side.

Zhang Erye blinked, watching the two children standing motionless in front of him, and grinned coldly.

He blinked again, but there was nothing in front of him. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he was just seeing things.

To her surprise, when she looked down, she saw a pair of small hands gently touch her own, and the animal trap had vanished.

Master Zhang couldn't catch his breath, his eyes rolled back, and he fell backward...
