The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady Chapter 37 (Part 4)
Chapter 37: Toss Part 2 (4) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Cuihe’s hand hurt as she knocked but still didn’t see Xiao Lang coming out. Call him, she was afraid Zhang-shi would come out and snatch the cake, so she had no choice but to leave.
The moon climbed up the top of the tree. Xiao Lang quietly opened the door and walked out of the door of Xiao’s house without making any sound from beginning to end.
Zhang-shi had always slept soundly, but when there was an uneasy cooing noise from the yard, she immediately opened her eyes. She sat up, listened for a moment, and made sure she heard it right. She hurriedly went down to put on her shoes while pushing the snoring husband: “Get up, it looks like a thief was in our house!”
Xiao Shouyun dodged to the side impatiently and muttered in a daze: “What thief? Don’t be surprised. It must be a rat running in. Don’t believe it, then go and have a look...” Then he snorted.
Zhang-shi couldn’t wait to throw a bucket of water at him. What else could she expect from him?!
Go out by herself, what if it was a thief? But if she didn’t go out, would all her chickens be stolen?
In the end, the fear of chickens outweighed the fear of thieves. Zhang-shi hurriedly lit the oil lamp and opened the kitchen door with a kitchen knife.
The commotion in the chicken coop stopped abruptly, and then, through the bright moonlight, Zhang-shi clearly saw a few slender things rushing out of the chicken coop.
They were weasels!
Zhang-shi was shocked and ran to the chicken coop in a hurry.
There were 15 chickens in the house. Now only three were huddled in a corner. The rest were all lying in the scattered chicken feathers. Especially the fattest rooster, whose whole body was covered in blood, and most of its body was bitten by weasels!
“Evil heaven, what life have I done to make such a bunch of beasts steal my chickens!” Zhang-shi slapped her leg and cried, turned, and shouted into the house, “You dead ghost, you’re still sleeping, all our chickens have been eaten...” Before she could finish speaking, she stopped abruptly as if she had seen a ghost. She stared at the dark shadow standing under the eaves of the eastern room. Who else could it be if not Xiao Lang?
“Why are you here?” Zhang-shi asked instinctively. In the middle of the night, what was he doing if he wasn’t sleeping? Could it be he heard the movements outside?
Xiao Lang stepped out of the shadows. His deep eyes reflected the cold moonlight. He looked at the messy chicken coop, smiled suddenly, and said to Zhang-shi in a low voice: “Come check if those weasels have eaten all your chickens. Hmm, there are three left. Tomorrow I’ll go to the mountains to catch another one, that should be enough, right?”
As if Zhang-shi was struck by lightning. It turned out those weasels were brought in by Xiao Lang?
Seeing Zhang-shi was about to erupt again, Xiao Lang suddenly shouted: “Aunt, your chickens were eaten by weasels. What does it have to do with me? Why did you say it was the weasel I brought in? Stop, I see, you don’t want me to live in your house, then I’ll leave now!”
While shouting, he strode out.
The person was gone, but the voice of anger and grievance spread all over the roads.
In the ears of others, it was anger and grievance, but in the ears of Zhang-shi, it turned into arrogance and provocation!
The chickens raised so hard were gone. This was like the last straw on the camel. Zhang-shi, who was tortured during the day, finally lost her last sense of reason and chased out with an oil lamp: “You little b*stard, you are crazy. You actually let animals eat my chickens. If I don’t kill you today, I won’t be named Zhang!”
As if an order was given, the lights in the village households turned on one by one. There was a squeaking sound of opening the door one after another.
Xiao Shouyun was finally woken up. He didn’t even put on his shoes and dragged himself out. Taking a look at the decayed chicken coop that was harmed, he couldn’t figure out for a while whether it was Zhang-shi who was mad and taking Xiao Lang to vent, or whether Xiao Lang really did something, but no matter what, he had to hurry up and chase her back. He had lost enough face during the day, if things got bigger, he couldn’t clean it up!
But before he could run out the door, a heart-wrenching roar cut through the sky and came from afar: “Aunt, don’t burn my house!”
Xiao Shouyun almost fell to the ground. No, how could his wife do such a thing?
It seemed like it was ridiculing his luck. As soon as the thought fell, a brilliant fire burst into the air. Xiao Shouyun looked at the fire and finally couldn’t hold it any longer. He fell to the ground weakly. That fool, she actually set fire to Xiao Lang’s house!
On the other side of the village, Xiao Lang stood silently in the yard, watching the three familiar thatched huts blaze with raging fires.
A pair of gentle hands suddenly rested on his shoulders, and he heard Qin-shi’s soft but powerful words: “Ah Lang, don’t be afraid. The house is gone, you will live at your aunt’s house in the future. Be at ease, no one can bully you again.”
In this world, there were always people who were trying to plot against you, but there were also people who sincerely care for you, no matter what you do.
Xiao Lang suddenly felt uncomfortable. He turned around and threw himself into Qin-shi’s arms.
That night, Xiao Shouyun’s house was attacked by weasels, and they lost more than half of the chicken. The angry Zhang-shi spread all her grievances on Xiao Lang, whose arm was injured, and slandered that those weasels were deliberately brought into her house by Xiao Lang. Xiao Lang couldn’t bear the humiliation and vowed never to stay at his uncle’s house again. He ran home overnight, but Zhang-shi chased after him with a lantern and wanted to kill Xiao Lang. While the two were pulling, the oil lamp fell on the heated-brick bed, lit the bedding, and then destroyed the three thatched huts.
Of course, whether the house caught fire was an accident or was deliberately set on fire by Zhang-shi, the villagers who sighed chose to believe the latter.
Since then, Xiao Shouyun and his wife have been scolded in the village, and Xiao Lang no longer wanted to recognize this kind of person as his family member. Fortunately, the kind Shu family was willing to take him in. So, Xiao Lang began to live with the Shu family as an orphan.
So sly and smart of xiao lang to escape from his evil xiao relatives
