753 Not Going to the City

“Keep a close eye on Qiao Mei’s family and find a way to cause trouble for them. You must make them pay the price,” Qiao Zhuang said through gritted teeth.

“But now, everyone in the village likes to go to Qiao Mei’s house to spend time. It’s really not easy to do anything to them,” Qiao Gui said awkwardly.

“Then you can go at night. Tell me what you think you can do or any good ideas that you have,” Qiao Zhuang asked as he stared at Qiao Gui.

This could be considered as giving Qiao Gui a chance to redeem himself. He knew his son best. Qiao Gui would not do anything like killing and robbing people. At most, he would steal someone’s chicken or take away their belongings. He would never dare to kill someone.

“How about… we put some laxatives in their well! Let them suffer for a few days,” Qiao Gui said with a smug smile.

In his eyes, this was an unparalleled good idea. Not only would no one discover who had drugged them, but it would also make them suffer a little. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Qiao Zhuang rolled his eyes. This second son of his was completely hopeless. If not for the fact that all his other sons had left or were injured, he would not have needed a fool like Qiao Gui.

“Go and set fire to the firewood in their backyard when no one is looking. Then run away. Don’t let anyone discover you. If you succeed in this matter, your eldest uncle’s house will belong to you,” Qiao Zhuang said in a nonchalant manner.

As the saying went, if one burned down the mountain, one would go to jail for a long time.

Their backyard was closely connected to the forest at the back of the mountain. It was already autumn and the cold wind was bone-chilling. If one really set fire to it, the entire mountain could be burned down.

This was something illegal, but the conditions were very tempting. Qiao Qiang’s house had good feng shui and they always harvested whatever they planted. Moreover, they produced the best crops in the entire village. Back then, Qiao Zhuang’s family had also secretly tried to grow bean sprouts, but the bean sprouts they produced were all very shriveled and did not meet the standard at all.

If they could get Qiao Qiang’s house, they would not have to worry about the rest of their lives.

“Alright, but… what if third brother wants that house?” Qiao Gui looked at Qiao Zhuang and asked tentatively.

Qiao Fu was disabled and could only stay at home. Qiao Liang and Qiao Gang had also gone to the county city, leaving only him and Qiao Wang at home. Back then, his own family had occupied Li Gui’s house. If they would also be getting Qiao Qiang’s house, he wondered if Qiao Wang would feel unhappy about it.

It would not be good if there was a rift between brothers. If the family was in chaos, he would definitely be the one to suffer.

“Your younger brother definitely won’t get into a conflict with you. Just do what you need to do,” Qiao Zhuang said.

Qiao Gui believed what Qiao Zhuang said. On the way home, he started to think about how to harm Qiao Mei and Qiao Qiang. They raised many chickens and ducks in the backyard, as well as a few pigs. Those animals were even noisier than a dog.

These animals would make a lot of noise once there was any sign of trouble. Then the plan would completely fail.

“Why are you back so late? What did Father tell you?” Wang Qin asked hurriedly as soon as Qiao Gui entered.

“Nothing much. We just spoke about fourth brother leaving,” Qiao Gui lied casually.

Wang Qin did not believe him at all. They had all witnessed Qiao Liang leaving. If the conversation was to discuss Qiao Liang’s matter, why was Qiao Gui asked to stay behind and not Qiao Wang, who was the closest to Qiao Liang. There must be something fishy going on.

“I just tabulated the money we have at home. Let’s pack up this week and tell Father that we also want to go to work in the county city,” Wang Qin said.

Qiao Gui’s expression suddenly changed. He was about to be the owner of two houses. It would be a huge loss for him to leave now. He definitely could not leave!

Qiao Liang and Qiao Gang were both in the city. If he also went to the city, then all three houses in the family would fall into Qiao Wang’s hands. It was definitely not worth it!

“No! Don’t mention it again! We’ll stay in this village for the rest of our lives. We won’t leave,” Qiao Gui said.

Wang Qin frowned and said, “Didn’t we have an agreement? My parents have already agreed and said to let the two children study in the city. They will pay for the tuition fees.”

“No! I just won’t go! It’s useless no matter who wants to pay! I just want to stay in this village! Why do you want to go to the county city to live? Are you eyeing something in the county city?” Qiao Gui said impatiently.
