Chapter 173 Moving House Doesn't Stop the Pranks
"If what the Huo family said is true, we need to go find Qiao An. Raising her has cost money, hasn't it? Shouldn't she show some filial piety to us?" Tian Yanli looked at Qiao Shuiniu angrily.
"Look at your good sister, she dumped her unwanted burden on our family, and she's still an ingrate after all these years."
Qiao Shuiniu remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
"This absolutely cannot be left like this. If she can really make a hundred yuan a month, she should give us at least three hundred... no! five hundred!"
"This matter isn't over until it reaches five hundred."
Qiao Shuiniu looked at his wife and asked, "Can that girl give it to me?"
"You won't give it to me? If you won't give it to me, I'll go to their house every day and wait for them. I don't care about losing face, and she won't have an easy time either."
So the next day, Tian Yanli actually went to block Qiao An's door.
I waited anxiously at the door all day, and for lunch I ate the dry biscuits I brought with me.
Even as the sun set, there was still no sign of Qiao An.
Tian Yanli waited for a week and finally realized that something was wrong.
She went to the Huo family.
That evening, the Huo family members sat around the table, holding broken bowls, to eat.
Huo Shoutian and Liu Huying were sitting, while the others were squatting with their legs bent.
Tian Yanli came to the house and made a huge scene, smashing all the pots and pans.
She smashed those few good chairs, leaving them broken and missing limbs.
"When did Qiao An move away? Why is there no sound from the village?" Huo Jiyu held the bowl, tilting it slightly to prevent the porridge from spilling out of the opening.
"Yes, I heard that a truck came and took away a small box that day, but Qiao An's family has a lot of things. The second son alone made more than ten kinds of furniture. How could they not take it with them when they moved?" Shen Xiufang was envious when she thought of the fine elm furniture.
Huo Jiyu's eyes lit up. "Mom and Dad, if Qiao Anzhen moves out, let's move all his furniture over here."
"Isn't the furniture that Second Brother made yours? We'll move it over, and no one can say anything."
Liu Huying took Huo Jiyu's words to heart.
"Dad, I think it's a good idea. The furniture in our house was distributed more than ten years ago when we were fighting against landlords. After all these years, it's unusable."
Huo Shoutian lowered his head, took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled a large smoke ring, and then nodded heavily.
"Eldest brother, third brother, go to the brigade and borrow a cart. We'll go to Qiao An's place to move furniture tonight."
At three o'clock in the morning, the entire Lianchi Village fell into silence.
Apart from the pregnant Shen Xiufang and her two children, the entire Huo family went out to push a cart to the east of the village.
Huo Jiyu pried open the lock in no time.
They sneaked in under the cover of night.
The lights were off inside, and the windowsills were covered in dirt, indicating that no one had lived there for a long time.
"Fine elm furniture! This little bitch doesn't deserve to use it!" Liu Huying rubbed her hands and walked towards the main room.
By the moonlight, they saw that the door to the main room was half open.
Liu Huying pushed the door open.
"—Splash!"
Liu Huying and Huo Jiyu, who were walking beside her, were suddenly doused with something.
Immediately afterwards, with a loud crash, the basin hit the ground.
In the quiet night, the sound was like someone striking a gong in your ear.
Soon the lights in the adjacent courtyard came on.
"It came from Qiao An's house!"
"Quick, go check! Has someone broken in?"
"Oh dear! Come on, let's go see what's going on, just in case they're coming to our house!"
"Help! Thief!"
Liu Huying and Huo Jiyu were still standing blankly at the entrance of the main house.
"vomit!"
"Yue!"
The pungent, fishy stench filled their nostrils, making it hard for them to breathe.
"Hurry! Someone's coming! Quickly!"
Huo Shoutian waved to them from the courtyard.
Liu Huying and Huo Jiyu didn't have time to see what was soaking them before they turned and ran.
Wang Shuyun had just come out of the side room.
Suddenly, I bumped into someone from behind.
When she came to her senses and saw the person in front of her, her eyes widened like saucers.
A piercing scream echoed through the sky.
Just then, the neighbors who had heard the commotion rushed into Qiao An's yard with iron hoes and spades, trapping them inside.
"Who's there! What are you doing here?"
"No need to ask, they're obviously here to steal! Stop talking nonsense! Beat them up!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Huo Shoutian swung a large iron shovel at his head.
"Don't hit me! It's me, it's me! Huo Shoutian!"
In a panic, Huo Shoutian sat down on the ground and crawled away from the iron shovel.
"Huo Shoutian?"
Someone squinted at him and said, "It really is Huo Shoutian."
Then they saw Wang Shuyun, Huo Jifeng, and two... bloody people with only their big white eyes showing.
"What does that smell? It's disgusting!"
"It looks like pig's blood..."
"Wait, it smells like feces! Oh my god, you guys stand back, the smell makes me want to vomit!"
Huo Jiyu and Liu Huying were being held back by hoes, preventing them from moving forward.
"Huo Shoutian, what are you doing at Qiao An's house? You're not here to steal anything, are you?" someone asked.
"What...what are we stealing? Qiao An took a lot of things with her when she moved in. We're here to take them! Not to steal!" Liu Huying wiped her mouth and said, jumping up and down.
"Pah! I saw it when Qiao An moved out, it was just a bundle! You even brought a cart? What is this if not theft? Shameless, no wonder you spew filth from your mouth."
"Hahahaha, this is karma, isn't it? Stealing at night and getting his head drenched in pig's blood and dung, even God couldn't bear to watch!"
Huo Shoutian's face turned bright red, but luckily it was nighttime and no one could see.
He wanted to leave, but Liu Huying was unwilling to give up. They had already come all this way, how could they leave empty-handed?
"This is my second son's house. I can come and go as I please, and take whatever I want. It's none of your business!"
"You busybody, like a dog catching a mouse!"
As she spoke, Liu Huying disregarded the stench on her body and ran to the main room.
Today, they insist on moving these elm furniture pieces away.
When she entered the house, all she saw was an empty house.
There was nothing inside; Joan didn't even leave behind a scrap of wood.
"Where's my furniture? Where's my furniture?!"
Liu Huying's screams were instantly drowned out by the jeers and taunts of those around her.
"Qiao An is so shrewd, would she leave any for you?"
"Hahahaha, they can't even get a hot bowl of shit."
"Don't tell me, didn't Joanne leave them some food?"
Huo Shoutian and the others also ran over and looked at the side room.
There wasn't a single hair in the entire house.
Joan moved everything out cleanly!
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, they pushed the cart away from Qiao An's house.
When they got home, they took a look by the light.
Liu Huying and Huo Jiyu were covered in foul-smelling blood and excrement.
This filth had been sitting there for over a week, and with the hot weather, the stench was unbearable.
Maggots also appeared in the basin.
At this moment, their hair was covered with white, wriggling maggots.
Upon seeing this, the others couldn't help but bend over and start vomiting.
Liu Huying was about to explode.
Why is it always her?!
Qiao An, who lives in the family compound of the machine tool factory in Jinshui Town, is having a dream.
She dreamt that the Huo family broke into her yard, and the bowl of pig's blood and pig manure she left on the door before leaving proved to be of great use.
Joan, still asleep, had a mischievous smile on her lips.
Like a child who has successfully pulled off a prank.
