Chapter 858: An action that ended before the stick story even started
But what Old Man Zhang didn't know was that the reason why Li Weidong bought the mousetrap was not to deal with mice at all.
Li Weidong looked at Old Man Zhang with a smile and said, "Don't worry, old uncle. The mousetrap I want this time has another purpose. Just give the mousetrap to me."
Old Man Zhang frowned, his eyes full of confusion, but he couldn't ask more questions. After all, he couldn't guess it even if Li Weidong didn't tell him. After hesitating for a moment, Old Man Zhang said: "Okay, since you said so, I
No more questions. Just wait and I’ll get it for you.”
Old man Zhang turned around and took Li Weidong to the warehouse of the scrap shop. When he opened the door, an old smell came to his face. The warehouse was filled with all kinds of scraps, including old bicycles, rusty iron pots, incomplete furniture, etc.
etc., piled up in a disorderly manner. Some of the waste products were covered with dust, which looked particularly old in the dim light.
Old man Zhang struggled to find mousetraps in the scrap pile. After a while, he found more than a dozen mousetraps. Some of these mousetraps were rusty, but they seemed to be still usable. Old man Zhang handed over the mousetraps.
He gave it to Li Weidong and said: "These are all the mouse traps I can find. See if they are enough."
Li Weidong took the mousetrap and smiled with satisfaction. "That's enough, old uncle, thank you. These mousetraps are very useful to me."
Old man Zhang looked at Li Weidong and couldn't help but ask: "What on earth are you going to use these mouse traps for?"
Li Weidong smiled mysteriously and said, "Old uncle, don't ask, you will know later."
Li Weidong took the mousetrap, took out the money from his pocket, and was about to hand it to Old Man Zhang. "Old uncle, you must keep this money, otherwise I will feel bad." Li Weidong said sincerely.
Old man Zhang waved his hand quickly and pushed Li Weidong's hand back. "Weidong, what are these mouse traps? They are not worth a lot of money. How can I ask for your money? Take it back." Old man Zhang said.
The face is determined.
Li Weidong frowned, put the mousetrap aside, and handed over the money again. "Old uncle, if you don't accept the money, I won't be able to take this mousetrap. It's not easy for you to open a store, and I can't take your things for nothing.
." Li Weidong's tone was firm.
When Old Man Zhang heard what Li Weidong said, he became anxious. "Oh, Weidong, what are you doing? Aren't you making things difficult for me?" Old Man Zhang had a troubled look on his face.
Li Weidong looked at Old Man Zhang and said seriously: "Uncle, I know you mean well, but I can't take advantage of you. Just accept the money, otherwise I really can't have these mousetraps."
Old Man Zhang hesitated for a while, and finally sighed helplessly. "Okay, Weidong, then I'll charge you two yuan, which is considered the cost. I really can't take any more." Old Man Zhang took it from Li Weidong.
After passing two yuan, he carefully put it in the drawer.
Li Weidong smiled and picked up the mousetrap. "Thank you, old uncle. I will come to you again if necessary in the future." After that, Li Weidong said goodbye to Old Man Zhang and left the scrap shop.
Old man Zhang looked at Li Weidong's leaving figure and muttered: "This kid is so polite."
…
Li Weidong returned home with a mousetrap and started getting busy as soon as he entered the house. He squatted down in the corner of the living room and carefully placed a mousetrap. There were some debris piled up in this corner, which usually did not attract much attention.
But it was a place where Li Weidong thought there might be "unexpected visitors." He adjusted the mechanism of the mouse trap to ensure that the trap would close quickly as long as something touched it.
Then, he went to the kitchen. The kitchen space was relatively small, but there were many cabinets and corners where things could be hidden. Li Weidong placed a mouse trap under the cabinet and next to the refrigerator. He placed it carefully, trying to keep the mouse trap
Not so conspicuous so as not to be accidentally touched by others.
Then, he walked into the bedroom. The bedroom was relatively tidy, but Li Weidong still placed mousetraps under the bed and next to the closet. He moved gently for fear of waking up his sleeping wife Yu Li.
After setting up the mousetrap, Li Weidong looked at his "masterpiece" with satisfaction. At this moment, Yu Li woke up and felt strange when she saw Li Weidong busy in the room.
"Weidong, what are you doing? There are no mice in the house, why do you put a mouse trap?" Yu Li asked doubtfully.
Li Weidong smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry about it, this is a little plan of mine. Don't worry, there will be no danger."
Yu Li was even more puzzled, but she knew that Li Weidong must have his own ideas, so she stopped asking. "Okay, then be careful and don't get caught in the mouse trap." Yu Li warned.
Li Weidong nodded, but in his heart he was looking forward to the smooth implementation of his plan. In this seemingly peaceful home, an unknown "battle" was about to begin.
...
Early the next morning, the sun had just risen, and the golden sunlight shone on the roof and walls of the courtyard. Li Weidong and Yu Li walked out of the house pushing their bicycles as usual. There was a look of early morning on their faces.
Energetic and ready to go to work.
At this time, Qin Huairu happened to pass by the yard. When she saw Li Weidong and Yu Li, she showed a kind smile on her face and greeted warmly: "Weidong, Yu Li, are you going to work so early?"
Li Weidong smiled and responded: "Yes, Sister Qin, it's early for you too."
Yu Li also said: "Sister Qin, let's go first, you can do your business."
Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."
Li Weidong and Yu Li got on their bicycles and drove slowly out of the courtyard. Banggeng hid in the house and saw them both leaving through the window, and was secretly happy. He felt that this was an excellent opportunity and was ready to start a fight.
action.
Bangge walked out of the house cautiously, and every move he made was extremely cautious. He first looked around like a vigilant little animal, and after making sure there was no one else in the yard, he gently closed the door.
At this moment, he could clearly hear his heartbeat, "bang bang bang", beating very fast. He felt nervous and excited at the same time.
The task assigned to him by Liu Haizhong appeared in his mind involuntarily. He clenched his fist tightly and encouraged himself secretly: "Bangge, don't be afraid. As long as you complete this task, there will be no trouble.
"
As Bangge walked, he was thinking about what to do. His brows furrowed slightly, and there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes. However, before he reached Li Weidong's house, he was seen by Qin Huairu who suddenly appeared.
Qin Huairu originally just came out to get something, but she saw Banggeng sneaking around. She suddenly felt doubtful in her heart, thinking that her son was really weird today. She walked quickly to Banggeng, her eyes
Full of concern and confusion, Zhong asked: "Banggeng, what are you doing? Why do I feel that you are a little weird today? Are you trying to do something bad?"
When Banggeng heard his mother's question, he was startled, and a trace of panic flashed across his face. But he quickly adjusted his emotions and quickly argued: "Mom, what did you say? What did I do?
What's wrong? I was just walking around in the yard."
Qin Huairu stared at Banggeng closely, her eyes seemed to be able to see through Banggeng's thoughts. "Banggeng, don't lie to mom. Look at you like this, with evasive eyes and hesitant words. You're sure
Is there something you are hiding from me?"
Banggeng's eyes became even more evasive. He didn't dare to look directly into his mother's eyes, and his hands were playing with the corners of his clothes unconsciously. "Mom, it's really not true. I really just walked around casually. Why don't you believe me?"
Qin Huairu's face became serious, and her voice rose a bit. "Banggen, you are my son, don't I know you yet? You have been naughty since you were a child, and now you are so sneaky, you must
He bit his lip, his eyes were a little wandering, and he continued to quibble: "Mom, I really didn't do anything bad. Stop thinking about it. I was just bored and just wandering around in the yard."
Qin Huairu frowned and stared at Banggeng closely, her eyes full of suspicion. "Banggeng, don't lie to me. I even saw you and Liu Haizhong mumbling together, you must be
Didn't do anything good."
Banggeng's face instantly turned pale. He didn't expect that his mother would actually see him and Liu Haizhong together. His eyes became even more evasive, and he hesitated and said: "Mom, I... Liu Haizhong and I have nothing to do, we just chat casually.
A few words."
Qin Huairu's face became more and more gloomy, and her voice rose a bit. "Are you still not telling the truth? Bangge, I am your mother, don't I understand you? If you don't make it clear today, don't even think about going out.
"With that said, Qin Huairu stepped forward and grabbed the stick, preparing to drag him into the house.
Bangge didn't want to be locked up at home like this. He struggled to break away from his mother's hand and shouted: "Mom, don't do this! I really didn't do anything bad!"
Qin Huairu saw that Banggeng was still quibbling, and the anger in her heart was suddenly ignited. She raised her hand and slapped Banggeng hard. The "snap" sound was particularly loud in the quiet yard. "You...
You are an unlucky thing, I worked hard to raise you, is this how you repay me? What good things can happen if you hang out with people like Liu Haizhong?" Qin Huairu's voice was full of anger and disappointment, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Slightly red.
Banggeng was stunned by the slap. He covered his face, his eyes full of disbelief and grievance. "Mom, you actually hit me..." There was a hint of crying in his voice.
Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng's face full of grievances and stubbornness. Although she felt a trace of regret in her heart that she had slapped her too hard just now, she knew that she could not be soft-hearted. She said to Banggeng seriously: "Banggeng, I am
For your own good. If you continue like this, you will get into big trouble sooner or later. You must stay at home today and reflect on it."
After saying that, Qin Huairu ignored Banggeng's resistance and locked him in the room. She was worried that Banggeng would escape, so she moved a stool and guarded the door. Banggeng kept pacing in the room,
Feeling annoyed and helpless, he knew that his mother was really angry this time.
On the other side, Liu Haizhong waited at home for a long time and didn't see Banggeng start to act, so he suddenly became anxious. He paced back and forth in the room, mumbling constantly: "What's going on with Banggeng?"
Why haven't you taken action?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so Liu Haizhong decided to go to Qin Huairu's house to inquire about the situation.
Liu Haizhong came to the door of Qin Huairu's house and saw Qin Huairu sitting at the door. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He stepped forward and asked with a fake smile: "Qin Huairu, what are you doing here?
What’s up?”
Qin Huairu raised her head, glanced at him coldly, her eyes seemed to shoot out ice knives, and said: "Liu Haizhong, you still dare to come? What bad thing did you let Banggeng do?" Her voice was cold and full of questioning.
Liu Haizhong's eyes flickered, like a person with a guilty conscience, hesitantly said: "I... what bad things can I make him do? I just chatted with him." He didn't dare to look at Qin Huairu, looking around.
free.
Qin Huairu didn't believe Liu Haizhong's words at all. Her face became more gloomy and her tone became more stern: "Liu Haizhong, I warn you, don't come to Bangge again in the future. He is my son, and I will not let him be like you."
People of different races are mixed together." Her eyes showed firmness and determination.
Seeing Qin Huairu's tough attitude, Liu Haizhong knew that there was no benefit in continuing to entangle him, so he turned around and left dejectedly. However, as soon as he took a few steps, he realized that the piece of copper was still in Banggeng's hand. That was what he used to frame Li Weidong.
If he couldn't get the key evidence back, his plan would be ruined.
So, Liu Haizhong quietly ran behind Qin Huairu's house and came under the window of Banggan's house. He carefully raised his hand and knocked gently on the window.
"Banggan, Banggan, open the window." Liu Haizhong shouted softly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Banggan in the room was startled when he heard the sound coming from the window. He knew it was Liu Haizhong coming, and he felt a little panicked. He looked at the door and saw his mother
Still standing guard there, he didn't know what to do.
"Banggan, please give me the copper piece quickly. If the matter is exposed, we will not get anything good to eat." Liu Haizhong continued to urge outside the window.
Banggeng hesitated for a moment, and finally walked to the window. His heart was beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He whispered to Liu Haizhong: "Uncle Liu, my mother won't let me go out now, and I won't
I can’t give you the copper piece.”
When Liu Haizhong heard this, he became even more anxious. He looked around and lowered his voice and said to Banggeng: "Banggeng, please pass the copper block to me through the window. Hurry up and stop delaying."
Banggan bit his lip, looked in the direction of the door, and then at Liu Haizhong outside the window. He knew that doing so might make Qin Huairu angry, but he was also afraid of what Liu Haizhong would do to him. So,
He turned around and went to get the copper block.
The copper block was very heavy, and it took a lot of effort to move it to the window. Just when he was about to hand the copper block to Liu Haizhong, because he was too nervous, his hand slipped and the copper block fell.
I accidentally hit the window and heard a "crash" sound, and the window glass was broken.
This sudden sound was particularly harsh in the quiet courtyard. Liu Haizhong was startled. He saw Qin Huairu walking towards this side after hearing the sound, and felt panicked. He knew that he could not be discovered by Qin Huairu, otherwise there would be consequences
Unimaginable.
"Run!" This thought flashed through Liu Haizhong's mind. He turned around and ran away like a frightened rabbit.
