Chapter 205: The Hole in the House

That uncle Wang is indeed tenacious.

Despite the overwhelming stench of feces and urine and the terrifying noise in the middle of the night, I still stayed alone in the back room for three days.

But on the fourth day, a group of beggars suddenly moved in front of his room.

These beggars are not the common old, weak, sick or disabled, but rather young and middle-aged people who are not easy to mess with at first sight.

The beggars made their home in the open space facing the door of his house.

Whenever he opens the door during the day, he will meet these dozen pairs of unkind eyes.

At night, beggars are afraid of the cold and will look for firewood to keep warm.

Unfortunately, they were in an upwind position, and all the smoke from the fire poured into the two rear rooms through the gaps in the doors and windows.

Uncle Wang lived there. In addition to the stench and harsh noise, there was also billowing smoke that was so choking that people could not open their eyes.

The taste, not to mention how delicious it is.

On the fifth day, Uncle Wang couldn't stand it anymore.

So he poured all his swill into the open space where the beggars were staying temporarily, trying to drive them away.

But those beggars were so unkind that they poured two buckets of wet and dry excrement on Uncle Wang's bed that afternoon.

Uncle Wang was so angry that he almost didn't carry it in one go.

But he couldn't leave the kang for a long time, because Yi Mingxue also arranged for a watcher to come over every quarter of an hour to see if there was anyone behind the wall.

There is a tendency that as long as there is no one under the wall, they will immediately find someone to knock down the wall.

There was no other way, so Uncle Wang had to throw away all the bedding and endure the cold and stay on the kang for another night.

At noon the next day, when his grandson came to deliver food, he had some time to find trouble with those beggars.

He thought that he had lived for more than seventy years and had seen all kinds of evil.

What can a few beggars do to him?

But although those beggars would scold him, they would not attack him directly.

Uncle Wang went to chase them away, and they dispersed.

But as soon as he rested, they gathered around again.

It's just playing monkey tricks.

There is no other way, then Uncle Wang can only admit defeat.

He asked his family to bring him clean bedding and pretended not to see the group of people outside.

However, within a few days.

That group of beggars contracted the butcher next door to do the pig-killing work.

Every day in the middle of the night a pig would be caught and killed.

Every time before taking action, they would deliberately discuss it loudly.

"If you don't obey, you will get this. You deserve to be killed."

"Remember to sharpen your knife! Otherwise, it would be too pitiful if you can't kill with one knife."

The horrific dialogue, coupled with the pig's screams and struggles before it died, was like a soul-locking magic sound.

Uncle Wang was constantly threatened and tortured.

He couldn't bear it anymore and finally had no choice but to report to the police.

But people from the government came and took a look.

But apart from throwing excrement at Uncle Wang's family, these beggars did not do any substantive attacks at all.

Even that time the manure was thrown at them, it was because Uncle Wang threw it at them first.

In the end, the official only said, "They live in unowned land and are doing legitimate business. You have no right to drive them away." They dismissed him.

Uncle Wang couldn't do anything except smashing a few things angrily.

After many days of mental torture, he almost collapsed.

In addition, he had been freezing all night that day, and his seventy-year-old bones finally became ill.

On this day, Uncle Wang felt dizzy and unconscious.

But the group of beggars outside the door finished killing the pigs and started killing the chickens.

This time they took a big order and had to kill more than twenty chickens in one night.

The cock's crow is even worse than the pig's crow.

Uncle Wang couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as he got up from the kang, he ran out and began to curse.

Perhaps because he was too excited, he accidentally stepped on the swill he poured.

Immediately, he fell to the ground with a plop.



By the time Yi Mingxue got the news, it was already seven or eight days later.

The seventy-year-old man suffered such a fall and became hemiplegic on the spot.

As soon as he was carried away by his family, the bricklayer Tan demolished the common wall.

All the manure on the walls filled up the gardens and medicine beds. And the group of beggars moved away quietly.

By the time the Wang family came back after finishing their chaotic household affairs, the original house had been converted into a stable by Yi Mingxue.

The Wang family father and son were so angry that they beat their chests and stamped their feet on the spot.

But if you want to cheat again, you have obviously lost your bargaining chip.

The most important thing is that after such a struggle, they clearly realized a fact.

That is the current new homeowner, Yi Mingxue, who is no longer the soft-spoken Lin family of the past.

If they dare to make another mistake, Yi Mingxue will definitely have other means waiting for them.

Once the matter of the two rear houses is resolved, the renovation of the courtyard is basically complete.

The next step is to add some furniture.

Yi Mingxue simply went back to the village and invited Carpenter Wang to come over.

This situation of carpenters working at home is very common in this day and age.

After all, many pieces of furniture are large pieces, and both the preparation of materials and the final transportation of the finished product are very laborious.

Because Carpenter Wang was a widower, Yi Mingxue also brought him along with the children in his family.

Now they are all temporarily living in the side room of the front hall of the Yi family's small courtyard.

His family consists of an eldest son and two younger daughters.

The boss was only seven or eight years old, and he had already learned to help his father.

The two younger daughters are also very sensible and will prepare food while their father and brother are doing work.

The family was originally so poor that they couldn't even afford cold water. Now, thanks to Yi Mingxue's constant care, life is actually better than many others.

Therefore, Carpenter Wang was also very grateful.

Everything made for her home ranges from carved wooden cabinets to small tables, chairs and benches, all of which are made with great care.

Yi Mingxue looked at the set of beautiful solid wood rose chairs and couldn't help but marvel at his craftsmanship again.

"Uncle Wang, it's really a waste of your skills to stay in the countryside."

Carpenter Wang was a little embarrassed by her praise. He laughed twice and continued working with his head down.

Because he didn't want to make Yi Mingxue's yard messy, he arranged his operation room in the stable that is still vacant.

Those are the two rear houses that Uncle Wang used to have.

I don't know where the wood was not stacked firmly and suddenly became loose.

A thigh-thick piece of wood tilted down and suddenly hit the wall against the mountain wall.

boom--

Just hear a bang.

The wood actually directly punched a hole in the wall and the mountain behind the wall.

A cool breeze blew through the cave, bringing with it a sense of moisture.

Carpenter Wang and Yi Mingxue couldn't help but look at each other.

"Why is there a hole here?" Carpenter Wang asked in shock.

Yi Mingxue looked at the entrance of the cave for a while.

It's very deep and dark inside.

Nothing can be seen.

There was nothing going on at the moment, so she turned to look at Carpenter Wang and gave instructions.

"Uncle Wang, you stay here and I'll go in and take a look."
