Chapter 153. A thief comes in the middle of the night(2/2)
Seeing that Hu Zhonghou had this ability, Chen Jinmin also became evil-minded. So Chen Jinmin took Hu Zhonghou home again.
When Chen Jinmin came home, he didn't dare to say that he and Hu Zhonghou were planning to steal the Zhao family. But when his wife saw it, she didn't send the plague god away, but gave him two yuan instead. This made Chen Jinmin's wife angry, so she took the child and returned to her parents' home.
But her departure made it more convenient for Chen Jinmin and Hu Zhonghou. Chen Jinmin went down to the cellar with a shovel and dug out a butter paper bag, which contained a hundred yuan that the couple had saved for ten years.
Then, Chen Jinmin took the 100 yuan and bought two yellow leaves. Hu Zhonghou went to Zhao's house first, and Chen Jinmin went to Zhao's house again. The two of them twice inquired about the truth of Zhao's family.
It's just that when Hu Zhonghou went, Chen Jinmin also followed him. Because Hu Zhonghou said that he was going to visit today, and it would be bad if the Zhao family became suspicious because the dog didn't bark.
So, when Hu Zhonghou came yesterday, Chen Jinmin also came with him. When Chen Jinmin arrived, the dogs in the yard howled, so Chen Jinmin hid aside and let Hu Zhonghou go into the house to "inspect" by himself.
After Hu Zhonghou entered the house, he observed the Zhao family's furnishings. When he saw Wang Meilan taking the collected skins to the west room and taking out money from the west room, Hu Zhonghou thought that all the Zhao family's money was in the west room.
Hu Zhonghou didn't dare to break into the house and steal, so he targeted the Zhao family's warehouse.
Today, Chen Jinmin came to "inspect" the house again. When entering and leaving the Zhao family, he carefully observed the Zhao family's warehouse.
Erhei was guarding the door of the warehouse. Erhei, who weighed nearly 120 pounds, was standing there. Chen Jinmin's calves felt weak.
When Erhei barked at him, Chen Jinmin pretended to be scared and asked Zhao Youcai if the dog would bite him. Zhao Youcai's answer at that time was, why would it bite you if it was tied with an iron chain?
Hearing this, Chen Jinmin felt more confident.
They slept until midnight. At around two o'clock, the big rooster next door crowed, and Hu Zhonghou and Chen Jinmin got up.
The two men tiptoed with their cotton-padded jackets and trousers under the kang, put on their clothes in the outer room, and went out to Yong'an Tun.
After arriving at Yong'an Village, Hu Zhonghou asked Chen Jinmin to wait outside the village for help, and he entered the village alone.
Hu Zhonghou walked by, and the dogs in each house noticed it, but they just looked up and didn't bark.
In this way, Hu Zhonghou approached the Zhao family.
At this time, the big lantern hanging on the door of Zhao's house had been extinguished. Hu Zhonghou went all the way to the door of Zhao's house. The dogs in the yard poked their heads out of their kennels one after another.
