Chapter 14: The Original Owner’s Revenge, Finally Taken

Iron Orchid listened to the gossip at the door for a while before entering the space.

She still had things to do.

The seeds she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative this morning had to be planted as soon as possible.

As mentioned before, the space is spring-like all year round, and any kind of grain can be grown.

She planted one mu of rice and wheat separately, one mu of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn together, and the rest of the land was planted with other things.

Iron Orchid worked all afternoon and finished everything.

Fortunately, the things in the space could be manipulated with her mind, otherwise, she would have been planting for a lifetime on these few mu of land.

After working hard all afternoon, she had to reward herself with a big meal.

Iron Orchid directly stewed a pot of braised beef bones with sauce.

In the clay pot, the tender beef bones were soaked in a spicy sauce, bubbling away, and the air was filled with a rich aroma of meat and sauce.

Iron Orchid’s mouth watered.

She directly picked up a beef bone with chopsticks, and it came off the bone in a second.

The juice burst in her mouth, soft and flavorful, so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue.

Iron Orchid ate 5 jin of beef bones in one go.

She didn’t waste the soup either, she directly soaked her rice in it and ate two large bowls.

This dinner was so fragrant and satisfying.

After dinner, Iron Orchid took her usual walk around the space.

When she passed by the small stream in front of the courtyard, she felt like taking a dip and played for a while.

This time she played with gusto, and only stopped after swimming for over an hour.

Back at the bamboo house from the shore, Iron Orchid changed into clean clothes and left the space to go to sleep.

She slept soundly all night.

Early in the morning, the door of the storage room started banging again.

“It’s the third day, you said you would let us out, open the door!”

Zhang Cui’s voice was weak.

Yesterday, she had a fight with her husband and daughter, old injuries added to new ones, and she was in pain everywhere.

Hu Zhuzi and Hu Xiaolian also shouted: “Open the door!”

They really couldn’t take it anymore, if they were locked up for another day, the whole family would probably fall apart.

Iron Orchid ignored their pleas, leisurely finished her breakfast, and then opened the door to the storage room.

As soon as the door opened, Zhang Cui and the three of them stumbled out.

“Is there anything to eat in the kitchen, we’re starving, give us something to eat!”

Iron Orchid’s face was cold, she shook the iron pot in her hand:

“There’s nothing to eat, your belongings are in the living room, take them and leave, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude!”

Seeing the familiar iron pot, the three of them instinctively shrank their necks, took their belongings and ran away in a panic.

Iron Orchid locked the front door and quickly followed.

There was a good show to watch today, she couldn’t miss it.

……

The dilapidated apartment building in the west of the city.

Zhang Cui’s grandmother’s hands were tied, and her mouth was stuffed with a sock, and she wasn’t discovered until Zhang Cui and the others came back.

When they saw the empty house, everyone was shocked.

Iron Orchid arrived just in time to see the most exciting part.

Zhang Cui’s grandmother knelt on the ground and cried out to the heavens:

“Damn it, who did this, they emptied our house!”

Zhang Cui went crazy, she turned the house upside down before realizing that everything was gone.

“Ah ah ah! Who did this! Who did this! I’m going to kill him!!”

Zhang Cui held her head and screamed wildly, the neighbors watching the commotion were all scared.

Hu Zhuzi sat down on the ground, muttering:

“It’s over… everything is over…”

Hu Xiaolian’s face was pale, her eyes panicked for a few seconds before she quickly calmed down:

“Dad, Mom, don’t be sad, we still have Iron Orchid’s house, right?

Don’t be sad, we’ll take everything from her house, then we won’t be missing anything.”

She spoke in a very low voice, but Iron Orchid, with her sharp hearing, still heard it.

Heh, still thinking about my property?

Iron Orchid’s eyes flashed with coldness, let’s see if you have the life to do it.

Just then, an auntie from the neighborhood committee came over: “Which one of you is Hu Xiaolian?”

Hu Xiaolian was a little confused: “I am, what do you want?”

The auntie from the neighborhood committee took something out of her pocket: “You signed up for the countryside program in the border area, here are your train ticket and introduction letter.”

As soon as these words came out, the noisy scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone was stunned.

This Hu Xiaolian must be an idiot, she actually signed up for the countryside program in the border area, that place is so hard.

Compared to everyone’s surprise, Hu Xiaolian was simply crazy.

“What countryside program? When did I sign up for the countryside program? I haven’t left the house for the past few days, I didn’t sign up!”

Zhang Cui was also anxious.

Although she was disappointed in her daughter, she had loved her for so many years, and she certainly wouldn’t want her to suffer in the countryside.

“Sister, are you sure it’s our daughter? We’ve been in the south of the city for the past few days, we haven’t been back at all!”

The auntie from the neighborhood committee frowned: “Are you questioning my work? It clearly says your home address and household registration information here, how can it be fake!”

Zhang Cui’s grandmother rushed over anxiously: “It must be a thief who stole our household registration and signed Xiaolian up for the countryside program, it wasn’t us, this doesn’t count!”

Hu Zhuzi also quickly said: “Yes, we’re going to find the leader to talk to!”

The auntie from the neighborhood committee didn’t care about that, she was only responsible for notification.

“I don’t care who signed her up, anyway, Hu Xiaolian’s name has been reported, she has to go to the countryside.

The train leaves tomorrow morning at 10 am, remember not to miss it, if she’s not there, there will be big trouble!”

After saying that, she stuffed the ticket and introduction letter into Hu Xiaolian’s arms and turned to leave.

Hu Xiaolian stood there, stunned, and burst into tears:

“Ah ah ah, I don’t want to go to the countryside, I don’t want to go!”

Accompanying her cries were the desperate and miserable faces of Zhang Cui’s family.

Seeing this scene, Iron Orchid felt very happy.

But the revenge wasn’t over yet.

Zhang Cui killed the original owner, she had to die.

Before, she couldn’t do it at home, firstly because she didn’t want to dirty the house, and secondly because she didn’t want to be suspected.

Now that Zhang Cui’s family had gone back, there was naturally an opportunity.

That night, Iron Orchid sneaked into Zhang Cui’s house and finished her off.

As for the accomplice, Hu Zhuzi, she cut his tendons, leaving him paralyzed for life.

Thus, the original owner’s revenge was finally taken!
