After Mao Xiaojun calmed down and eavesdropped for a while, the lights in the house were extinguished and there were no longer any movements.

It seemed that Zhang Tiehniu and Miao Xuemei had gone to bed.

He had originally wanted to scrounge for dinner, but now it seemed that he would not be able to do so. But he was really hungry, so he had to find something to cover his stomach.

Oh right, doesn't Zhang Tiehniu Family have three apple trees? At this point, the apple was almost ripe. It seemed like he could only pick a few and fill his stomach first.

Mao Xiaojun found the three large apple trees near the Zhang Tiehniu Family and was able to smell the fragrance of the apples from far away.

Because he was so hungry, he immediately rushed to the apple tree and grabbed the big apple to eat. Within a few minutes, he had eaten more than ten big apples. Only then did his stomach feel better.

After getting down from the apple tree, Mao Xiaojun sat on the ground with his back against the apple tree, taking a breather.

He thought back to what Zhang Tiehniu and Miao Xuemei had just said. These two would definitely go find him at Peach Blossom Village in a few days, should he hide or what?

Mao Xiaojun couldn't make up his mind at the moment. Right, didn't Zhang Tiehniu say that the county had set aside a sum of three thousand for him to live on? This year, they also came in time for the general election of the village committee. In order to keep their own position, the village leader would definitely pay special attention to his family's special hardship case.

His family was the main target of poverty reduction, and neither the village head nor the village head dared to offend him.

Thinking of this, Mao Xiaojun decided to go back and take the three thousand dollars from her.

He still had some lingering fear from going up to Hua Qigang's house to listen to the wall last night. It would be inappropriate to go back in the dark just like this. Going back would have to wait until the afternoon or evening.

After making up his mind, Mao Xiaojun picked a few dozen apples from the tree, took off his shirt and wrapped them up, then headed towards the Peach Blossom Mountain.

With regards to the matter of stealing the apple, a few years later, Mao Xiaojun recalled the scene back then. On one hand, it was because he hated Zhang Tiehniu and his wife for plotting against him; The human instinct to live induces him to fill his own stomach first.

Many years later, when his business grew big and rich, his Zhang Tiehniu Family coincidentally suffered a calamity. He resolutely extended a helping hand, and only then did his Zhang Tiehniu Family protect him from the destruction of his family, which could be considered as repaying the favor of the apple before when he was full of hunger.

The next morning, when Miao Xuemei went to her house's field to pick vegetables, she suddenly discovered that his three large apple trees had been plucked a lot of apples by someone. Under the tree, there were leftover apples everywhere. She was extremely angry and started cursing immediately.

"What shameless b * stard, he stole an apple and stole it from your old lady's house. This old lady curses your family's ancestors' graves, your entire family will die a miserable death."

Last night, her husband, Zhang Tiehniu, had told her about the scolding behind her back by her next-door wife. Originally, she was still filled with anger, but now that she had encountered such a wicked thing in the morning, Miao Xuemei just decided to be a shrew and scolded her in every way she could.

Zhang Tiehniu, who was inside the house, quickly ran out when he heard his wife's scolding. He was dumbfounded when he arrived under his own apple tree.

"F * ck, what kind of wicked person is this? I'll definitely break his dog legs if I catch him!"

Zhang Tiehniu Family's three apple trees were large and sweet, and every year, they would be able to earn a lot of money by relying on these apple trees. Who would have thought that he would be so unlucky as to get someone to eat and steal half of the apple tree overnight?

At this time, Mao Xiaojun was sleeping at the bottom of the cliff. The moment he woke up, he took out an apple from his shirt and started chewing on it.

"I never thought that the apples from Zhang Tiehniu Family would be so sweet. I'll go steal some more from him another day."

After chewing on the two apples, Mao Xiaojun stood up and stretched, then looked at the glaring light above him, the sun had risen, it should be around 9 o'clock in the morning by now.

Under the intense light, he felt that something was wrong with his body. The pants he was wearing had been shortened by a large amount. Looking at his bare arms, he felt that they were much tougher than before.

Had he grown taller overnight?

He was wondering when he heard footsteps on the mountain.

"Sigh, why are we so unlucky? We have to go back to the construction site after finishing our work early in the morning. "Damn it, it's all that bastard's fault. He came to my house in the middle of the night to listen to the wall."

On the mountain slope above, Hua Qigang walked over to the large peach tree where the thief had fallen last night, looked down at the cliff below, sighed, then turned around and left.

Although Hua Qigang's voice was very soft, it was still heard by the sensitive Mao Xiaojun.

After falling down the mountain, Mao Xiaojun realized that not only had his body become stronger, his ears and eyes had also become much more useful.

Mao Xiaojun thought that Hua Qigang must have thought that there was a human life on the night before so he quickly ran back to the construction site.

He was too lazy to care about this sort of thing. When the sun wasn't too high up in the sky, he could just go back to the village and collect the payment of 3000 yuan.
