Chapter 93 - Stealing Youtiao
Chapter 93 Stealing Youtiao
When the thought of stealing occurred to Yun Zhu, he immediately left his house.
He wanted to head straight to Yun Shan’s house, but he coincidentally bumped into Yun Yang. Yun Yang was just heading to the toilet when he stepped out of the house. If Yun Zhu entered the storeroom of the third branch now, he would definitely be discovered by his younger brother. It was not the best time.
Yun Zhu wanted to wait for Yun Yang to return to his own room before he make his
move.
Just then, Liu Fang was leaving the house with Yun Lian in a hurry. It was likely something to do with how Yun Lian was almost raped.
According to his eldest brother Yun Qiao, the culprit Zhao Qiang was caught. As compensation, the village chief had decided to give part of Zhao Qiang’s assets to Yun Lian.
Of course, Liu Fang was the first to agree. Upon receiving the news, she rushed to the village chief’s house with Yun Lian, as if every second they spent there would get them more money.
Seeing the two of them walk out of the Yun family’s main door, Yun Zhu came up with another plan. Since it was inconvenient to steal from Yun Shan’s house now, it could be a better idea to try his luck in Yun Gang’s house for now.
Although Yun Gang had fallen from grace, there was a saying that a starved camel would still be bigger than a horse. Presumably, the house of the first son had a lot of good stuff.
Just as Liu Fang and Yun Lian stepped out of the Yun family’s main door, Yun Zhu arrived at the front door of the first son’s house. When Yun Gang was an official, he had specially built two doors for his main house just to show that he was different from his two younger brothers.
One door led to the bedroom, while the other door led to the kitchen. Next to the kitchen was the storeroom, where food was stored.
The ingenious design made it convenient for Yun Zhu to commit theft.
Yun Zhu stood outside the courtyard and observed for a moment before he took action. He then quietly walked from behind and came directly to the front door of the kitchen.
He opened the door gently and crept into the kitchen.

The kitchen was a mess. There were dishes and food spilled all over the floor. It appeared that the wife and daughter of the first son did not even have time to clean up the kitchen. Indeed, they were impatient to collect the money.
Perhaps it was due to his guilty conscience, but Yun Zhu found the kitchen of Yun Gang’s house extremely catastrophic. It was almost difficult for him to breathe.
Yun Zhu quickly began his search. However, after searching high and low, he came to realize that the kitchen of the first son’s house and his own kitchen were rather similar.
When Yun Zhu turned around to leave the kitchen and head to the storeroom, he discovered something else. The storeroom was filled with several rice bags. In addition to the coarse grains that he usually had to eat, there was also some high-quality rice and white flour. Although the glory days in Yun Gang’s family were over, Yun Zhu thought that if he was born into this family, he could still his stomach with some fine foods if he wanted.
Unlike his own family, where he would not find any fine grains even if he wanted.
There were also a few bamboo baskets beside the rice sacks. The bamboo baskets were filled with both chicken and duck eggs. Even though he was his mother’s favorite child, eggs were such delicacies that they were only available once a month.
The more Yun Zhu thought about it, the more upset he became. How could humans be treated so differently from one another?
However, he did not plan to take any of these fine foods today. He was still looking for something that he could eat immediately.
His efforts paid off in the end. Yunzhu found a few Youtiao bought by Liu Fang, which was right next to the pile of rice grains. These things were rare in his own household. Ma Yan valued money more than anything so she would never bring them to the market for such things.
If they had gone to the market, it would only be for necessities. For a luxurious snack like Youtiao, his brother and him could only get half of it during New Year. As Yun Zhu thought about how Yun Lang could enjoy such delicious food every meal, he made up his mind. He did not leave a single Youtiao and took it all.
“Mom, Mom! Sister…”
It was Yun Lang calling out to Liu Fang and Yun Lian. It seemed that the two of them had left in a hurry and did not tell Yun Lang beforehand.
As Yun Lang got no reply, he eventually stopped calling
Yun Zhu, who was troubled by his guilty conscience, hid in the corner of the storeroom and did not dare to make a sound.
After he stopped hearing Yun Lang’s voice, Yun Zhu bent down and walked out of the storeroom. He wanted to return to the Yun Shan’s house to check things out.
