Chapter 290

When Aunt Wang heard this, she quickly shook her head, "No, no, he must not know about this."

Seeing that she was neither willing to take the money nor tell old man Wang, Li Zheng thought she was troublesome, so he ignored her and went directly to Wang's house to find old man Wang.

Aunt Wang still wanted to stop her, but no one listened to her at all. Shen Yunjin and others followed Li Zheng to Wang's house.

After arriving at Wang's house, Li Zheng told Old Man Wang all the good things that Aunt Wang had done. After hearing this, Old Man Wang frowned tightly, feeling very angry at what Aunt Wang had done.

Aunt Wang stood beside her without daring to make a sound, she no longer had the arrogance and arrogance just now.

The old man Wang stared at her, and shouted in a low voice, "Look at what you have done, I just asked you to go to the field to get back the agricultural tools that fell on the field in the morning, but you are fine, you just know how to give it to me." Shame, you let others see us in the future."

Aunt Wang didn't talk back, but just silently listened to what old man Wang said to her.

"I'll talk about you later!" Old man Wang didn't want to say too much in front of outsiders, so he had no choice but to let Aunt Wang go first.

When Li Zheng said that the Wang family should pay half of the money, the old man Wang agreed without hesitation.

The old man Wang sighed and said, "We did something wrong, and we deserve compensation. You wait, I'll go home and get the money."

Soon, Old Man Wang came out of the house again, handed over half of the money to Shen Yunjin, apologized and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble, but don't worry, I will look after her from now on, This will not happen again.”

Then, the old man Wang took out the five baskets of peanuts that he had given to the Zhou family as compensation, and gave them to Aunt Zhou and Zhou Ling'er without any ambiguity.

Seeing that old man Wang's attitude of admitting his mistakes was quite sincere, Shen Yunjin calmed down a lot, and the matter was considered resolved.

After leaving Wang's house, they sent Li Zheng away and returned to Zhou's house.

Zhou Ling'er smiled and said, "It's all good now, Aunt Wang will never dare to mess with us again, she paid half the money and five baskets of peanuts for nothing this time, she will definitely feel bad."

Shen Yunjin nodded in agreement, "You should let her feel good, so that she can have a long memory."

"That's right, Aunt Wang bullied me and my mother before, but from now on, she will never trouble us anymore." Zhou Ling'er said proudly, "If she dares to provoke us again If so, I'll go find Lizheng again and let her suffer another blow."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou patted Zhou Ling'er's arm, and retorted in disapproval, "You stinky girl, what do you think about every day? Our land is next to Wang's, and you usually raise your head. It's not good to bow down and see each other. It's not good to form a beam. This time, it's over, and we will get along as we want to get along in the future. We can't completely form a grudge because of this, that's not good."

Of course Zhou Ling'er understood the truth that it's better to break up than to make friends, but she just couldn't get angry. She would rather never talk to someone like Aunt Wang than to have anything to do with Aunt Wang again.

Zhou Ling'er nodded perfunctorily, "Okay, mother, I understand."

……

Time passed, and a few days passed. During these few days, Shen Yunjin and Li Yi often came to help the Zhou family harvest peanuts, and the peanuts in the Zhou family's field were finally finished.

One night, it was getting late, and many folks in Qingshi Village had already gone to bed.

The couple in the eldest room also warmed up their quilts and were about to lie down to sleep, but at this moment, they heard a rapid barking of a dog. It was their neighbor's dog barking.

The dog barked loudly, and barked continuously.

Mrs. Zhang muttered impatiently, "It's so annoying, what is their dog barking at night, it barks every day, there is no quiet time."

Compared to her, Li Ren was much calmer. Li Ren said indifferently, "Okay, you can lie down and sleep. When you fall asleep, you won't hear the dog barking."

Mrs. Zhang gave him a blank look, "Aren't you talking nonsense? But the dog keeps barking, how can I sleep?"

Suddenly, Li Ren heard a strange sound outside, creaking, it seemed to be the movement of the gate.

He frowned, pointed out the window, and asked, "Wait, listen, is our door ringing?"

Mrs. Zhang gave a strange "Huh". How could the door be ringing in the middle of the night?
Her hearing was not as good as Li Ren's, so she had to sit by the window, put her ear against the window, and listened carefully.

This time she heard it too. Sure enough, there was indeed movement at the outside door, as if someone was moving the door of her house.

Mrs. Zhang muttered puzzledly, "There seems to be someone outside, should we go out and open the door to have a look?"

The door has been locked by them, so people outside can't get in.

Li Ren sat up straight, thought for a while, and said, "No, don't open the door yet! We don't know who the person is outside, so don't let him in easily."

"Who could it be? It must be looking for us." Mrs. Zhang didn't think too much, picked up the coat beside the kang and got off the ground, so she wanted to go out and have a look.

Li Ren quickly grabbed her and said, "You are stupid! Think about it, if the people outside are really looking for us, why don't they just call the door, why are you ghosting outside the door?" Sneaky? Besides, it's so late now, who would come to our house to look for us. "

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Zhang came to her senses, and she also felt that something was wrong. Maybe the people outside were not good people at all!
The dog next door was still barking wildly, and Zhang's heart became even more flustered.

"Who could it be outside? They are not here to rob, right?" Mrs. Zhang guessed helplessly.

Li Ren shook his head, "It's unlikely, who would come to a small and poor village like ours to rob."

Mrs. Zhang looked anxious, "But we haven't had any enemies with anyone. If it wasn't for robbery, then who would break into our house in the middle of the night."

Li Ren got up and put on his clothes, "No, we can't just wait at home, people outside seem to be picking the lock on our door, we have to be prepared."

After finishing speaking, Li Ren extinguished the oil lamp, and pulled Mrs. Zhang out of the house.

Mrs. Zhang panicked, "Why did you turn off the lights, we can't see anything now."

"It's good if we can't see it. We can't see it. Even if people from outside come in, they can't see it." Li Ren had a plan, and took Zhang to ambush behind the door of the house.

He came out from the kitchen with a big wooden stick and a rolling pin, gave Mrs. Zhang a rolling pin, and held the wooden stick himself.
