Chapter 325 Uncle's jealousy flares up again; he plots to steal chickens late at night.
At the foot of the back mountain, in the woods.
"Snapped!"
Sun Yumei slapped her arm and crushed a blood-sucking mosquito to death.
"Damn it, how can the mosquitoes in this godforsaken place be so vicious!"
She lowered her voice and muttered irritably.
The two hid in the dark bushes, their heads covered in welts from the mountain mosquitoes, their bodies unbearably itchy.
Jiang Jianmin peered tentatively into the nearby rest area, where it was brightly lit and several freezers gleamed white under the lights, looking particularly tempting.
"Honey, maybe we should call it a day? There are lights there, what if someone sees us..."
Jiang Jianmin was somewhat timid; he was simply not cut out for this kind of thing.
"You dead man! Look at your pathetic self!"
Sun Yumei kicked him in the buttocks in exasperation, her voice lowered, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.
"Fortune favors the bold! You know nothing!"
"Everyone in the village is sleeping like logs, who would come here?"
"Hurry up and get started! If we keep dawdling, it'll be almost dawn! What if someone beats us to it!"
Urged and encouraged by Sun Yumei, Jiang Jianmin's pitiful courage was finally suppressed by greed.
The two crouched low, using the shadows of the trees for cover, and feeling guilty, they slowly made their way to the empty rest area.
As soon as you get close to those huge freezers, an enticing chill hits you.
Jiang Jianmin nervously swallowed, his hands trembling, and pulled open the door of one of the freezers.
"hiss--"
Upon seeing the room filled with top-quality fruit, the couple simultaneously gasped in astonishment.
The watermelons were so red they looked like they were dripping blood, the grapes were so purple they looked almost black, and the peaches were so pink they looked incredibly tempting…
Under the lights, it was even more dazzling than a gold ingot!
The two of them could no longer hold back, and saliva dripped directly from their chins.
"Hurry! Install it!"
Sun Yumei's eyes lit up, and she urged impatiently.
Jiang Jianmin didn't care about anything else. Like a wild boar that hadn't eaten for three days, he picked up a watermelon weighing more than ten kilograms and threw it into the back of his old tricycle.
"Bang!"
The watermelon hit the metal truck bed with a dull thud.
Sun Yumei was furious at his clumsy manner.
"You idiot! Be gentle! If you break it, it won't fetch a good price!"
While cursing, she started carefully stacking the exorbitantly priced grapes and peaches onto the car, as if moving gold bricks.
Before long, a small mountain of fruit had piled up in the back of the tricycle.
But Sun Yumei's greed went far beyond that.
She felt that stealing fruit alone was not enough, so her thieving eyes darted around and soon set their sights on the two brand-new portable air coolers in the corner that had not yet been opened.
The packaging box was printed with fancy foreign words, and it looked expensive.
"Hey, you dead man, stop moving things! Come help us! Take those two treasures with you too!"
Sun Yumei pointed at the air conditioner and gave the order to Jiang Jianmin.
"This...this thing is so heavy!"
Jiang Jianmin hesitated.
"Heavy my ass! This one is worth a hundred of your watermelons! Hurry up!"
Under Sun Yumei's direction, the couple exerted all their strength, huffing and puffing, and together lifted the two air conditioners, each weighing several dozen kilograms, onto the tricycle.
The tricycle's cargo bed was instantly filled to the size of a small mountain, towering high above.
The two men looked at their "spoils" with smug, lewd smiles on their faces.
They could almost see themselves taking these things to the county market tomorrow and exchanging them for a lot of money.
However, what they didn't know was...
Just as they were feeling smug and thought they had gotten a huge advantage,
In the monitoring room at the highest point of the ecological park.
Jiang Chen was sitting with his legs crossed, drinking an ice-cold soda, watching the two figures jumping around on the monitor screen like he was watching a clown show.
Beside him, Wang Dagou's dark face was as black as the bottom of a pot from anger.
"Brother Chen! Those two scoundrels! They're absolutely lawless!"
Wang Dagou's eyes widened, and the rubber baton in his hand creaked as he gripped it.
"I'll take some men down there right now and break their legs!"
As he spoke, he turned and was about to rush outside.
"return."
Jiang Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it made Wang Dagou freeze in his tracks.
"Brother Chen?" Wang Dagou turned around in confusion.
It's not worth getting angry over such small fry.
Jiang Chen's face showed no anger, but rather a playful sneer.
"Giving them a good beating would be too lenient."
"Some people will never know the pain unless they fall flat on their face."
Jiang Chen put down his cola and slowly brought up the technologically advanced system store interface that only he could see.
His finger slid lightly across the virtual screen and quickly found an item that was flashing with an ominous black light.
[Unlucky Aura (Beginner)]
[Effect: Applies a 24-hour aura of bad luck to the designated target, during which the target will have a high probability of encountering various inexplicable unlucky events.]
[Redeemable Points: 100 points.]
Jiang Chen didn't even glance at the points consumed and directly clicked to confirm the redemption.
[Ding! Redemption successful!]
Please select a target to bind to.
Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the monitor screen.
On the screen, Jiang Jianmin and Sun Yumei were using a tattered burlap sack to cover the stolen goods in the truck bed, trying to deceive others.
A cruel smile curled at the corners of Jiang Chen's lips.
His finger lightly tapped the two ugly figures on the screen.
"Binding".
Two invisible black halos instantly flew out from the screen, traversing the distance of space, and accurately landed on the heads of the thief couple who were still gloating over their "cleverness".
After finishing all this, Jiang Chen stretched.
"Alright, the show's about to begin."
In the surveillance footage, Jiang Jianmin and Sun Yumei were completely unaware that disaster was about to befall them.
Jiang Jianmin pedaled the tricycle while Sun Yumei sat in the back of the vehicle, supporting the pile of stolen goods.
Accompanied by the creaking and groaning protests of the tricycle, the two happily hummed a little tune as they hurried toward the dirt road leading from the village to the county town.
