Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

Zhang Laoer looked at his son with a complicated look in his eyes: "Only by letting him taste the bitter fruit will he remember this lesson, and let the outside world know that whoever wants to take advantage of our family must be prepared to bear the consequences."

As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of old cloth and carefully wrapped it around Boss Zhang's head.

After finishing the job, Zhang Laoer instructed Xu Liyun to symbolically tap Zhang Lao's thigh a few times. Although the sound was loud, he did not actually use his full strength. It was all just to create momentum.

"You two, hurry up and go to the village chief now and tell them that our family has been robbed. Someone wants to steal our prescriptions. We finally caught them in the act. Let's ask them to come and administer justice."

Zhang Laoer's words were full of urgency, urging his two sons to take action immediately.

Zhang Sanwa and Zhang Siwa understood what he meant, and ran towards the village chief's house like two shadows shuttling in the moonlight.

When they finally knocked on the village chief's door, Zhang Siwa's exaggerated description immediately made the village chief Zhang Defu's face turn pale and he was furious.

As the leader of Zhangjia Village, Zhang Defu was planning to drive prosperity for the entire village with health-preserving pills. Once the prescription was stolen, it would undoubtedly pour cold water on his grand blueprint.

The situation was urgent and Zhang Defu had no time to spare. He quickly gathered the young and middle-aged men from the other six households in the village and marched towards Zhang Laoer's thatched cottage in a mighty manner.

When Zhang Laoer saw the reinforcements arrive, he immediately put on an extremely frightened look and went forward to greet them: "Oh, village chief, Zhang Ruige, you are finally here! My heart is pounding. Look, this is the bold little thief. If it weren't for Li Yun's alertness and waking us up, who knows how much trouble we would have caused."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were whispers among the crowd. The worry that the prescription might have been stolen was like a dark cloud hanging over everyone's mind.

The prescription is not only related to the livelihood of Zhang Laoer's family, but also the expectation and hope of the whole village for a better life, which must not be lost.

The eldest son of Liu Yufang's family was furious like a prairie fire, hot and uncontrollable. With a slight wave of his strong arm, he suddenly lifted the rag covering the little thief's face.

"Humph! I want to see with my own eyes which fool dares to ruin our plans at this critical moment!"

As the rags flew down, the dim light barely illuminated the face covered with bruises and intertwined with pain and fear. It stood out particularly under the surprised gaze of everyone.

"Oh! Isn't this the one from Zhang Fujia's family?" There was a hint of surprise and teasing in Uncle Sanqiang's voice, as if he was talking about an old acquaintance who had been familiar to him for a long time but suddenly appeared in an unexpected way.

When Zhang Laoer and Xu Liyun heard the voice, their eyes suddenly widened, filled with shock and disbelief.

Zhang Laoer took a quick step forward and almost involuntarily helped the man up, blurting out questions like a string of cannonballs, "Brother, why is it you? If you need money, just tell me. Why do you have to do something so sneaky in the middle of the night?"

However, Zhang Laoer seemed a little reckless in his panic, or he lost his composure in a hurry, and his arm inadvertently pressed heavily on Zhang Laoda's injured leg.

This pressure was undoubtedly a heart-wrenching pain for Boss Zhang, who was already unconscious, and it woke him up completely from his semi-comatose state in an instant.

The surrounding environment, people's faces, everything became clear in an instant.

The sharp pain from his calf instantly replaced his rationality with anger, and he subconsciously pushed Zhang Laoer beside him away. The force was so strong that Zhang Laoer was caught off guard, staggered, and finally fell hard.

Seeing this scene, Xu Liyun anxiously called out "Old Second", and then threw herself into Zhang Old Second's arms. The two of them seemed to have rehearsed this scene countless times, hugging each other and crying, with the sound of sorrow continuing.

"Brother, how can you be so cruel? You knew that our family couldn't even afford to eat and that we were relying on that prescription to get by. Not only did you kick us out, you even came in the middle of the night to steal our hope."

Xu Liyun cried and complained, her voice filled with unspeakable grief, "Old Second just didn't recognize you for a moment, and his hand was a little too heavy. He knew he was wrong and wanted to help you, but you pushed him away like a stone. Brother, don't you have the brotherhood between us anymore in your heart?"

Every word she said was heart-wrenching, as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances and dissatisfactions of the past years at once.

Boss Zhang had just regained some consciousness from the chaos, but faced with everything in front of him, he felt at a loss and his face was full of confusion.

Xu Liyun's crying was like a knife cutting his heart, making him even more confused.

As for Zhang Laoer who was pushed away, he was comforting his wife in an almost helpless manner.

"Liyun, don't cry. I don't blame my brother at all. It's my own fate that I was not born into a family with luxurious clothes and delicious food. Oh, don't be angry. My brother may not have done it on purpose. After all, blood is thicker than water. Let's just forget it this time..."

"Who asked you to pretend to be a good person here! Zhang Laoer, you almost broke my leg. You have to at least compensate me with fifty taels of silver, and find the best doctor to treat my injury. Otherwise, you won't be able to explain to my parents!"

Boss Zhang finally understood the current situation. He felt unbearable pain all over his body, especially his left leg, which felt like being pricked by thousands of needles.

Driven by anger and pain, he unconsciously began to demand compensation from Zhang Laoer.

The villagers had different expressions on their faces. They thought it was a misunderstanding and planned to settle the matter peacefully. Unexpectedly, Zhang Laoer was the first to express reconciliation and acted magnanimously.

On the contrary, Boss Zhang, the "victim", seemed to be unyielding and asked for fifty taels of silver as compensation!

Now, not only the villagers were unhappy, but even the village chief who was always a peacemaker on weekdays had a gloomy face: "Zhang Lao Da, you broke into Zhang Lao Er's house at night to steal, and you deserved the resistance. What qualifications do you have to ask Lao Er for money?"

The village chief's words were filled with displeasure and reproach, making the already restless atmosphere in the courtyard even more solemn.

Zhang Lao Da frowned, his eyes flashing with dissatisfaction, and said with a bit of anger in his voice: "Village head, what you said is really a bit biased. How can I, Zhang Lao Da, come here just to steal? To tell you the truth, I came here just because my parents asked me to, and they were worried about whether my brother who I haven't seen for a long time is okay. Who would have thought that as soon as I stepped into this familiar land, I was beaten and kicked for no reason. My legs are still aching and I can hardly stand up."

He stretched out his fingers and deliberately touched the slightly red scars on his face, trying to use the slight pain to prove his innocence.

Zhang Siwa was filled with indignation when he heard this. He quickly stepped forward and said to the elderly village chief with a firm look in his eyes: "Grandpa village chief, you must not trust his one-sided words! He was trying to sneak into the house by climbing over the wall, and my parents were so focused on catching the night thief that they couldn't tell whether it was their family member in a hurry, so they accidentally hurt him. Let me ask you, if my uncle really wanted to visit, why didn't he choose a bright daytime?"
