Chapter 31

Thief

After drinking the last sip of soup, Lin Zhi touched her belly with satisfaction, and remembered another thing, "Did you see anyone at home today?"

Nie Chong shook his head, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"When I came back just now, I heard that there seemed to be a thief nearby, and I was a little scared."

Linzhi didn't want him to worry, but if something really happened, it would be good to be careful.

"Is this true?"

Although their family has no money yet, the village knows that they have just asked for food from the second house and may be targeted.

After a while, Nie Chong brought a wooden stick from the yard, "This is what I picked up when I went to pick up firewood in the morning. Sister-in-law, take it and protect yourself. Even if the thief comes, don't be afraid. I will protect you."

He patted his chest confidently.

Lin Zhi couldn't help laughing, and took the wooden stick and weighed it in her hand. It was indeed a bit heavy, and it looked quite strong, which was better than a rolling pin. She hid the wooden stick next to the bed and continued to work in the yard.

The things Linzhi wanted were not technical. Nie Chong brought the hammer and soon nailed two wooden shelves that were one meter long, sixty centimeters wide and fifty centimeters high. Then, they laid clean rainproof cloth inside, and then they were covered with a clean rainproof cloth.

Modern plastic baskets are the same.

Linzhi looked at the freshly baked seedling frame and couldn't wait to use it to soak the bean sprouts. Yesterday, she soaked a pound of soybeans. There is still room for free after the seeds are put in. I believe the yield will be greatly improved in the future.

With this seedling cultivation frame, Linzhi's mind became active. The sales volume in the market depended on luck and time-consuming. We had to think about other sales channels.

Nie Chong took a break for a while, carried the hoe and prepared to go out, "Sister-in-law, remember to lock the door at home, and I'll be back after finishing my work."

"I see."

Because there is no need to do acupuncture every day, Lin Zhi massaged Nie Shujun in the afternoon and prepared to give Nie a few exercises.

He is about to take the final exam, but because he missed a lot of classes before, he couldn't keep up with many places. If he didn't find a way to make up for it, it would be more difficult to get it later.

In the evening, a sound of a door pushing out came from outside, "Linzhi, are you here?"

Linzhi opened the yard gate and saw Aunt Wu standing outside. She quickly invited someone in.

Aunt Wu said, "Why are you still closing at home? I thought you were out."

Fortunately, she shouted twice.

Linzhi poured the other party a cup of tea, "I heard that it was not peaceful recently."

"Is that true?" Aunt Wu didn't take it to heart. She couldn't know what was wrong. She first talked to Linzhi for a few words, and then talked about her purpose, "Big girl, you said it in the morning

Are you serious?”

"Auntie, come and see."

Linzhi brought her to the seedling frame and said the method of producing bean sprouts, "If you want to, we will do this business together. If you are not greedy for this little money, or want to sell it yourself, you can also plant it at home.



"Big girl, who do you think of me?" Aunt Wu saw that she was so sincere, so what else could hesitate about it. "I have crops in the field, and this vegetable is not sold every day. If you really believe me,

I will take it for you next time when I go to the market."

"Okay, I will pay the soybeans myself. We will pay the 46% deposit for the money we sell. How about it?"

"No problem, that's it."

In this way, Linzhi and Aunt Wu agreed and came over to get the bean sprouts four days later.

When she sent the person to the yard, she happened to meet Nie Chong coming back with a hoe and a teapot. Aunt Wu greeted him enthusiastically, "Nie Chong is back."

"Aunt Wu, why are you here?" Nie Chong put down the things in his hand, wiped his face with a towel, and "Come in and sit."

"No need, I'll say a few words to your sister-in-law and you'll leave now."

"Is it that Brother Wangsheng's tractor repaired?"

"Just just now, Wangsheng said that he would drive his car back in the city. It should be repaired. You are going to enter the city tomorrow, right?"

Only then did Lin Zhi realize that she was Yang Wangsheng's mother.

"It's my elder brother..." Nie Chong looked at Lin Zhi, not knowing how to explain to Aunt Wu.

"Aunt Wu, that's right. Shujun has to go to the hospital for regular check-ups. I want to take him to the county town tomorrow morning."

"So that's the case. Then I'll go back and say to my son." Then Aunt Wu thought of another question, "Do you have money? The hospitals give money first and then check it."

Linzhi was even nervous about food, so how could she have the money to send Nie Shujun to the inspection?

"I remember that his medical expenses can be reimbursed, and the rest can only be found after going to the hospital."

For so many days, Hou Zhi hasn't come yet. Maybe something is stuck. Lin Zhi can't just point at him to help. It's better to send Nie Shujun to the hospital first. Check what needs to be checked, and let Nie Changbin pay when the bill comes out.

Money can be reimbursed anyway.

Aunt Wu pondered for a few seconds, "Let's do this, I'll let Wangsheng take you directly to the hospital. If you encounter any difficulties, you can take care of it."

"Thank you so much, Aunt Wu."

"The first time I saw you, I felt that I was in love with you, let alone our neighbors. It's time to help."

Although she encountered some bad things after coming here, Lin Zhi also realized a lot of warmth and simplicity that belonged to this era. I believe she will not forget it for a long time in the future.

In order not to delay Yang Wangsheng's work, he would get up early tomorrow to go to the hospital. Lin Zhi watched Nie Chong do his homework for a while, and then blew the light to go to bed.

I don’t know how long it took, but Lin Zhi suddenly woke up.

She turned over and heard a friction sound outside. Lin Zhi lost sleepiness in an instant and reached out to touch the wooden stick at the head of the bed.

Not long after, the gate of the courtyard was opened with a creaking sound. The man walked in and then was gently covered by him.

Accompanied by Linzhi's violent heartbeat, a rustling sound of footsteps slowly approached, followed by the sound of prying the door.

Nie Shujun's room is not locked. As long as he pried open the door of the main hall, the other party would come in at any time.

After Linzhi got used to the light in the house, she got out of the bed with a wooden stick in fear and hid at the door barefoot. It was not dawn yet, even if the other party came in, she would not see her immediately.

I don’t know if he will go to Nie Chong’s room or…

Just when Linzhi was worried, a crack was opened by someone in Nie Shujun's bedroom door...

A figure walked in with his waist and was less than half a meter away from Linzhi. As long as he turned around, he could see the wooden stick in Linzhi's hand.

However, he seemed to have a clear goal. After seeing the direction of the bed clearly, he walked straight towards Nie Shujun.

I saw him standing beside the bed, bent over and seemed to be looking for something, but after a while his movements suddenly stopped and he staggered back two or three steps like a ghost.
