Chapter 4 Wang Ning'an's Counterattack
Cui and Old Lady Wang left, and the anger in Wang Ning'an's eyes was burning. From the inside out, it was like an angry fireball, releasing a terrible temperature. Wang Ning'an understood it, and the Wang family also divided the levels. Because the second uncle was a scholar, he could not touch it. He also acted domineeringly and had no scruples.
The old lady ignored Cui's beating before, refused to give food, and slandered and insulted him later. She just forced herself to go to the field to work, fetch water and chop firewood, and even her sister couldn't escape!
Wang Ning'an is really unbearable. I am not a slap in my face. For myself and for my sister, I have to fight back. The situation in front of me is really bad. Cui's family will definitely become more serious after getting permission from Mrs. Wang. They will be dumped in the future. They will be punished for themselves and their sister. If there is any wrong, they will be punished and they will not be able to live a small life.
There are only two ways to get rid of the unfavorable situation. One is to hope that my father and mother will come back quickly and let them decide for themselves. However, my father accompanied me to attend the funeral, and I don’t know when I will come back. And even if I come back, my father dares to say something to Mrs. Wang. Over the years, because my father insists on practicing martial arts, the old lady is very dissatisfied with him. In the end, it is just that the father and the father suffer together.
Another way is to take the initiative to find the horses and clear away the grievances.
All unfair treatment is due to the so-called horse loss incident. As long as the horse is retrieved, there is no reason to force yourself to work.
Moreover, Wang Ning'an suspected that his cousin Wang Ninghong took the horse away. If it was really his job, it would be lively. Cui's own son made a mistake, but Wang Ning'an suffered an unpredictable disaster. It depends on how you can justify yourself!
By the way, could it be that Cui deliberately asked his son to steal the horse and then find an excuse to deal with him?
Wang Ning'an was no longer afraid to speculate on Cui's family with the worst malice.
In any case, the horse must be retrieved.
In order not to become a pitiful child laborer, Wang Ning'an decided to fight!
After making up his mind, Wang Ning'an called his sister over.
"Brother wants to go out to do something. Take good care of your brother. You two are in our yard. You are not allowed to run around. Can you do it?"
"Yes!" Wang Luoxiang nodded vigorously.
Wang Ning'an pulled his younger brother again and told him to be obedient and comforted his two children. It took almost three days for Wang Ning'an to come out of the house. Where should he go to find a horse?
...
After leaving home, Wang Ning'an followed his memory and found the river where he often puts horses. The stream was winding and there were grass on both sides. He drank water when he was thirsty and gnawed on grass when he was hungry. It was a great place to put horses.
Wang Ning'an observed carefully and became more and more confident that the horse should not have been stolen. The reason is very simple. Not far from both sides are covered with fields, with working people in the fields, and everyone is a fellow villager.
If a thief leads a horse to walk over in broad daylight, someone will definitely see it, and someone will definitely tell the Wang family.
Unless it is not a thief outside, but a thief at home!
Wang Ning'an walked to a ridge of the field, and there happened to be a farmer sitting on the ground to rest except for a ridge of grass.
"Uncle Li, three days ago, did my elder brother Wang Ninghong lead a horse over?" Wang Ning'an asked politely, and the farmer said casually: "It seems..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone suddenly coughed twice. It turned out that his wife came hurriedly, gave him a fierce look, and then smiled at Wang Ning'an and said, "Wang Erlang, we were not working in the field that day, I don't know."
After saying that, he punched her husband, "What are you doing with a stick? Work!"
Wang Ning'an had to ask the next one again. He asked four or five people in a row. Some seemed to really not know, while others looked embarrassed and were reluctant to say it even though they knew it.
After running until noon, Wang Ning'an found a stone by the stream to sit down.
It would be wrong to say that nothing had been gained. He was more and more sure that his cousin had taken the horse away.
As for the villagers, the reason is very simple. It is a matter of your Wang family. If you say it, you offended Wang Liangxun and Cui. No matter how troubles happen, outsiders think that you have broken bones and tendons and are all a family, so why should we cause trouble!
What's more, Wang Ning'an is just a young boy and has no status in the Wang family. Is it useful to speak for him? No one is willing to do thankless things.
At this moment, Uncle Wu drove the carriage and came back from Cangzhou. When he passed by the stream, he jumped out of the carriage, arrived by the stream, picked up the cool stream water, and took two sips.
"It's so satisfying!"
When he returned, he deliberately passed by Wang Ning'an and whispered: "Wang Dalang and a young man took a horse away."
"ah!"
Wang Ning'an was stunned and wanted to ask a few more questions. Uncle Wu had already got on the carriage and left with a whip.
It was indeed him!
The conjecture was confirmed, but judging from Uncle Wu's appearance, he clearly didn't want to testify to himself. He just couldn't bear to keep himself in the dark.
It is necessary to find the real evidence... Wang Ning'an held his head and thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
So stupid!
Can't find the horse, can't find the person?
Since Wang Ninghong took the horse away and found Wang Ninghong, wouldn’t he find the horse?
Wang Ning'an had an idea. He left Tuta Village, ran for more than ten miles along the main road, panting and rushed to a large town. It was Niujinzhuang, with three or four hundred families, which was the largest village around.
To the east of Niujinzhuang, surrounded by mountains and rivers, there is a neat fence courtyard with seven or eight brick and tile houses. It is very eye-catching in a thatched hut. It is a private school and a residence for school children in other villages.
I heard that the teacher’s requirements are extremely strict. Students must get up to memorize their books before dawn, and there will be courses until evening. Therefore, except for the students in the village, everyone else must stay in the school.
Wang Ning'an is not unfamiliar with it. In the past, when he was playing, he often went outside the private school. He could hear the sound of reading inside from a long distance.
The eleven or twelve-year-old boy doesn’t understand yet!
A few boys at home, and his cousin Wang Ninghong went to a private school to study and read. He could only stay at home. How could he not be envious? He used to be so naughty and caused trouble everywhere, which might mean to attract attention and vent his dissatisfaction... Wang Ning'an could clearly feel the envy and depression hidden in his heart.
"Oh, there will be a chance. It won't be long before I can study and go to school!"
Wang Ning'an clenched his fists. He did not rush to go to the school to find someone. Instead, he waited outside for a long time and finally saw a 14 or 15-year-old boy coming out. Wang Ning'an hurriedly met him.
"This brother is Wang Ninghong's younger brother, and his name is Wang Ning'an. My family asked me to come to find my elder brother and want to give him a blind date."
Wang Ninghong is fifteen years old, and the village households may have gotten married long ago. The guy opposite is not surprised, but instead smiles.
"Haha, Wang Ninghong is so lucky! I didn't expect to drink his wedding banquet." This guy danced and was happier than his marriage. "No wonder Brother Wang has always asked for leave these days. It turns out that he has encountered a good thing."
Wang Ning'an continued to talk, "May I ask, can my elder brother be in school?"
"No, yesterday, he asked his husband for leave again, saying that he had gone to Li Zhen's house. They were the best, and they got together everything they did."
"Where is Li Zhen's family?"
"In Sanhe Village, it's almost five miles away, why don't I take you there?" This guy was still kind-hearted. Wang Ning'an waved his hand quickly, just asked the direction of Sanhe Village, and quickly said goodbye.
It's time to catch the thief! Wang Ning'an clenched his fists hard.
I rushed to Sanhe Village in one breath, and my whole body was soaked with sweat.
He found Li Zhen's home, found the backyard, and slashed the earthen wall. Sure enough, a horse was tied to the cowshed, looking anxious and walking around.
It's the Wang family's horse!
Wang Ning'an recognized it at a glance, and his excited heart almost jumped out. He really wanted to rush in and lead the horse away directly, so that Cui could take a good look.
But I don’t know where Wang Ninghong is, so I can’t act rashly. At this moment, the voice of talking from the road was coming here. Wang Ning'an hurriedly hid behind a pile of firewood in desperation. There was a big poplar tree that completely blocked him.
At this moment, someone was talking, and a voice complained: "Brother Wang, just hand over the horse to Jin Laohu. Look, I have been there for three days in my house, eating grass and food, and I screamed in the middle of the night, and I couldn't sleep well."
"Oh, Brother Li, just bear with it. Four guan coins is not a trivial matter. If you don't give the money, I can't give him the horse. Besides, I will take it out in broad daylight. If someone sees it, tell my family that I will be beaten."
Through the gaps between the branches, it can be seen that it is his cousin Wang Ninghong!
Next to him, the "Brother Li" said disdainfully: "What's there to be afraid of? Just buy the result of fighting dogs from the living gods. Bet a treasure, win a lot of money, and sell another horse. What else can the family do to you?"
"That won't work!" Wang Ninghong waved his hand quickly and said, "Brother Li doesn't know. My family is not as open-minded as yours. My grandmother is just an old antique. She never lets her descendants gamble. If she knows, she must peel my skin."
"Oh, Brother Wang, I remind you that tomorrow is the day of the dogfighting final. No matter what, I will sell the horse today."
"Don't worry, I made an appointment. Jin Laohu will come here with his money in the evening. We will go buy the results and place bets tomorrow morning, which will not be delayed."
"It's done, that's it!"
The two guys discussed and walked in through the back door, looked at the horse intently before returning to the house with confidence.
They didn't speak loudly, but Wang Ning'an's ears were very sharp. He heard it clearly and clearly. Not only was he sure that his cousin stole the horse, he also knew the reason!
If you want to buy the result of fighting dogs, you have to bet on making a fortune! Let’s be your dream of spring and autumn!
Wang Ning'an had seen so many tricks of scam in his previous life. He really had the ability to predict the results. Will he make a fortune by himself? Will he sell it to you? Of course, there is no need for Wang Ning'an to expose the scam, and others may not believe it.
