But it was broad daylight. Where did this ghost come from?

If it wasn’t a ghost, could it be Second Uncle’s act?

Could it be that he was going to lose, so he deliberately ruined the game?

At that moment, Second Uncle said, “Third Bro, it’s all messed up. What was the layout?”

Third Uncle said, “It’s alright, I remember it. I’ll help you restore it.”

Third Uncle placed the pieces and restored the chess game, but Second Uncle shouted, “No, my chariot is here. If I take another two steps, it’ll be a checkmate for you. Are you trying to fool me?”

“How is that possible? Your chariot was right here. It’ll be a check on you very soon!” Third Uncle shouted.

“Impossible, the chariot was right here!”

“No, it’s here!”

…

The two of them argued for a long time. In the end, Third Uncle swept the board and the game was completely messed up. Third Uncle said, “You don’t believe what I said, and I don’t believe what you said either. Alright, let’s start again.”

“You… you stinking basket, did you do it on purpose?” Third Uncle shouted.

Second Uncle snorted. “Who’s the stinker? You’re the one who cheated!”

…

While the two of them were arguing, Xu Nian was filled with anger. He felt that Second Uncle was just pretending. His motive was to mess up the losing game!

But Xu Nian was slapped!

He was unhappy…

Third Uncle and Second Uncle started playing chess again, but after a few steps, Second Uncle’s chariot was eaten by the other party’s rook…

Second Uncle wanted to redo his move, but Third Uncle refused. The two of them argued for a while before continuing.

At this moment…

Smack!

Second Uncle knocked his head against the chessboard and the chess game was in a mess again…

Third Uncle said angrily, “Second Brother, what’s wrong with you?”

Second Uncle stood up and said angrily, “Xu Nian, is there something f*cking wrong with you?”

Xu Nian looked confused. “I… I didn’t do anything!”

Smack! Second Uncle raised his hand and slapped Xu Nian’s face. He shouted angrily, “If you dare to f**king hit me from the behind again, do you believe that I’ll get Xi to kick you out!”

Xu Nian was originally a little angry, but after being threatened by Second Uncle, he didn’t dare flare up. However, he did feel uncomfortable holding it in.

Xu Nian covered his face and turned around to go downstairs. He thought to himself, I’m going downstairs. I’ll stay far away from you. If you lose again, let’s see who you can blame! If you can’t afford to lose, then don’t play the game. You acted so well. There was even a slapping sound…

When Xu Nian went downstairs, Second Uncle shouted, “Third Brother, it’s a mess again! Let’s start again! That kid left. This time, we can play chess quietly.”

Third Uncle chuckled. Obviously, he didn’t believe that Xu Nian had slapped Second Uncle. However, since he had nothing to do, he decided to continue playing chess.

Xu Nian went downstairs and saw Little Qin getting some corn…

Xu Nian asked, “Little Qin, why did you get this?”

“Aren’t we just pretending to be a farmer’s home? The police won’t care that I’m plucking the corn grain for eating later, right?” Little Qin said.

Xu Nian thought it made sense and nodded. “I’ll do it with you.”

“Okay, do you want some water?” Little Qin asked.

Xu Nian said, “Yes… Let’s have some beer; get some ice.”

Little Qin said, “Alright, I’ll go get it now.”

After speaking, Little Qin turned around and went to get some beer…

Fangzheng stood by Xu Nian’s side and smiled at the corn on the ground. He picked one up and weighed it with his hand. Aiming at the target on the second floor, he threw!

Smack!

Aiya!

Second Uncle felt a strong force at the back of his head and as a corn bomb flew over.

Third Uncle looked up instinctively, only to see a corn coming at him and hitting his nose!

Third Uncle subconsciously covered his nose and couldn’t lift his head. At the same time, he cursed, “Who the hell threw the corn!”

Second Uncle covered the back of his head and stood up. When he looked downstairs, he saw Xu Nian looking at them with a dumbfounded expression. Xu Nian was still holding a corn and preparing to peel it off…

“Xu Nian!” Second Uncle shouted angrily!

Xu Nian asked, “Second Uncle, what’s wrong?”

“What? Did you throw this corn?” Third Uncle picked up the corn on the ground and shouted.

Xu Nian shook his head and said, “No, I just picked up the corn and haven’t plucked it yet…”

“This isn’t plucked! You little rascal, are you trying to fight me today? You slapped me twice and even threw corn at me. Just you wait!” Second Uncle rushed down after saying that.

Third Uncle added, “Wait for me, I’ll go down too!”

Xu Nian, on the other hand, looked wronged. He clearly didn’t do anything, so why did Second Uncle insist it was him?

Could it be that he had lost the game again and wanted him to be his scapegoat?

At that thought, Xu Nian was filled with resentment!

Unfortunately, he did not dare to act up…

At this moment, Second Uncle and Third Uncle came down and ran over the moment they reached the ground floor. They lifted their legs and kicked Xu Nian, causing him to fall to the ground.

Second Uncle smashed a piece of corn on Xu Nian’s head with one hand and said, “How dare you rebel against me? F*ck, when Xi returns, I’ll make you scram!”

Third Uncle chimed in, “Yes, get lost immediately!”

Fangzheng hugged his arms and watched the scene with a chuckle. He did not say a word.

Xu Nian wanted to explain, but the more he talked, the angrier Second Uncle became. He yelled, “Aiya! Are you saying I wronged you? I won’t say anything about those two slaps. What can you say about this corn? You’re the only one holding the corn. Who else could it be besides you?”

As he spoke, Second Uncle kicked him again and punched him.

Xu Nian hugged his head and was beaten up by Second Uncle and Third Uncle. The resentment in his heart grew…

At that moment, the door slammed open!

The people in the courtyard were really shocked and stood rooted to the ground.

Then, they saw a group of policemen swarming in and shouting, “Police! Don’t move!”

Second Uncle and Third Uncle looked at each other and turned to run. In the end, they saw policemen coming over from the backyard. Following that, someone held them to the ground.

Little Qin, who had just come out with the beer, was arrested…

When Xi heard the commotion, he immediately ran out and shouted, “What’s happening? Officers, is there a misunderstanding? Is it illegal for our family to roast corn and drink at home?”

“It’s not illegal, but it’s illegal to make fake liquor,” said a policeman.

“Impossible. How can we make fake liquor? Take a look… We are all honest farmers. This is my second uncle, my third uncle. Those two are my friends who came to visit…” Xi said.

“Heh heh, what you’re saying is exactly what the person who made the report said. If we hadn’t arrested the three vans and the equipment to make fake liquor, we’d really be unable to do anything to you.” The policeman sneered.

“Ah?” Xi jumped in fright as his eyes darted around. “Officer, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand? you”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. You’ll understand after you get to the police station.” The policeman grabbed Xi as he spoke.

Xi said, “So what if we go…”

At that moment, Second Uncle shouted, “I can’t accept it. I didn’t do anything. Why should I be arrested?”

Third Uncle also said, “Right, I can’t accept it either!”

“Second Uncle, Third Uncle, don’t speak,” Xi said.

Second Uncle said, “Xi, I just can’t accept this!”

“I accept it!” At that moment, Xu Nian suddenly shouted. His voice stunned everyone.
