"You stole money, catch the thief! Catch the thief!"

A sweet female voice rang in his ears, and just as he was about to explain something, he felt sticks falling on him like raindrops.

"Ah! Stop fighting, stop fighting! I'm not a thief, please spare me, don't fight!"

Li Daniu was beaten until he was dizzy and lay down on the ground begging for mercy.

However, the stick did not stop because of his begging for mercy, but instead hit him harder and harder.

"I told you to steal money, I told you to steal money."

"Stop it, I was wrong, I will never steal again."

Li Daniu gave up struggling on the ground. The whole time, his head was covered.

Every time he tried to reach out and take off the cloth bag over his head, sticks rained down on his hands.

He felt that there must have been some misunderstanding. After all, he just stole a piece of stone ore and never saw any money at all.

Lin Xiaofan saw that Li Daniu was dying, so he raised his hand to stop everyone.

"Hurry up and hand over all the money you stole."

Lin Xiaofan pinched his nose and said in a low voice.

However, this acting was really a bit clumsy, and Li Daniu saw through it immediately.

"Xiaofan? Is that you? Xiaofan, I am your Uncle Danniu, not a thief."

Lin Xiaofan coughed awkwardly:

"What Xiaofan? I'm not Xiaofan, I'm Liu Ergou."

As he said this, Lin Xiaofan raised his stick and beat him hard again.

"Xiaofan, I am really you..."

Li Daniu wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by a burst of sticks.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong. You are not Xiaofan, you are Liu Ergou." Li Daniu couldn't resist anymore and could only hold his nose and recognize it.

"But I didn't steal any money, I just wanted to dig some rocks and go back to play."

"Fart, the two taels of silver I left here are gone. You are the only one here. You must have stolen it."

Lin Xiaofan spoke righteously, causing the girls next to him to snicker.

"I really didn't take it, brother...ah! Ah, I was wrong, I took it, and I'll give it to you now."

Li Daniu still wanted to struggle, but what greeted him was a severe beating with a stick.

"I took it, I'll give it back to you now, don't fight."

Li Daniu groped on his body and muttered in a low voice, for fear of being beaten again.

After a long time, he took out two taels of silver from an inner pocket of his trousers.

It is not safe to keep silver at home, so people in the village usually carry it with them.

"How dare you steal something? I'll teach you a lesson this time."

Then, everyone beat Li Daniu for a while before leaving with satisfaction.

"Sister Yanyan, why did you just grab my stick?"

Liu Sisi said angrily.

Just now, after Liu Yanyan trapped Li Daniu, she snatched away Liu Sisi's stick.

"You are too weak. Hitting someone won't hurt."

"It's too much!"

……

The next day.

Lin Xiaofan opened his eyes, and the sun was already shining down on his buttocks.

"what……"

Lin Xiaofan stretched and felt his head was a little heavy.

He didn't go to bed until late at night after struggling so hard yesterday, so he slept until now.

"Husband, you are awake."

Liu Shishi saw Lin Xiaofan wake up, holding a basin of wash water in his hand and a towel hanging on his shoulder, and walked over.

Liu Shishi put the basin next to the bed and began to wash Lin Xiaofan's face.

"Shishi, I can do things like washing my face myself."

Lin Xiaofan said a little embarrassed while enjoying it.

Two days ago, he was a migrant worker who had been single for more than [-] years. Who would have thought that two days later, when he opened his eyes, a beautiful woman would wash his face in person.

"Husband, how can you do such a small thing yourself? Besides, husband, you went to town yesterday and made lime again. You are already so tired. Just leave the washing job to us."

Lin Xiaofan sighed, it seemed he could only enjoy it.

After washing his face and having breakfast, Lin Xiaofan was ready to seize the time and continue making lime.

"Dangdangdang!"

Before he could get up, there was a knock on the door outside.

"coming."

After Liu Shishi heard this, she hurried to open the door.

Lin Xiaofan was puzzled. Who would come to visit his home?

After what happened last night, Li Ermazi and Li Daniu must have broken up with him. His predecessor had been lying in bed all day, and he must not have known anyone in the village.

After much deliberation, I didn't expect who would come, so I just followed him.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing animal skin clothes was waiting outside.

This man looked to be in his thirties or forties, about [-] meters tall, with a scar on his face and a strong build. There was also a bulging cloth bag in one hand.

Lin Xiaofan sorted out his memories of his predecessor and found that there seemed to be no such person in the village.

"Dad! Why are you here?" Liu Shishi spoke next to her, and Lin Xiaofan, who was confused, suddenly realized.

Lin Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's my father-in-law, please come inside."

Generally, after you marry off your daughter, you won't take care of her anymore. This person is probably here because of Liu Ergou's affairs.

But no matter why he came, this person was his father-in-law, and he couldn't neglect the courtesy he should have.

Liu Shishi's father's name is Liu Qiang, and he is an old hunter.

After Liu Qiang entered the compound, he looked around. The house is a bit dilapidated, with stones piled on one side and firewood piled on the other side in the yard.

After entering the room, Lin Xiaofan invited Liu Qiang to sit down, while Li Xiaoran hurriedly removed the leftovers from the table.

Liu Qiang glanced at the leftover food and couldn't help but swallow.

Eager to save his son, he started on his way as soon as dawn broke and did not have time to eat.

As for why I came so late, it was because I was not familiar with this place and took many detours.

"Father-in-law, I didn't expect you to come to my humble home. I didn't prepare anything."

Lin Xiaofan smiled and took the lead in greetings.

"It's okay, I didn't say anything in advance, it was a bit presumptuous."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries in the room, but no one said anything serious.

It was impossible for Lin Xiaofan to lift Liu Ergou directly, as that would be like licking the Liu family.

Liu Qiang originally thought of taking out the food he had brought, and then suggested letting Liu Ergou go, so that both sides would have face. But when I saw the fine grains and meat that Lin Xiaofan's family ate, I immediately felt like I couldn't get rid of them.

Since Lin Xiaofan and others had just finished breakfast, there was still a smell of meat in the room.

Liu Qiang started on his way early in the morning, and before he had time to eat, the smell of meat became more and more fragrant, and his stomach growled a few times.

"Father-in-law hasn't eaten yet? I'll ask Shishi to cook you some more food."

Lin Xiaofan noticed Liu Qiang's predicament and hurriedly broke the embarrassment.

"Shishi, bring some food for your father."

"No need to bother." Liu Qiang quickly refused. He is here to ask for help today, and it is not appropriate to let others cook.

"Dad, let's eat something first." Liu Shishi dug out a bowl of the leftover rice from the morning, poured two spoons of broth and a few pieces of fat on it, and put it on the table.

Looking at the slim Liu Shishi in front of him, Liu Qiang's eyes showed a bit of relief.

"Shishi, I was the one who felt sorry for you three sisters back then."

Liu Qiang said apologetically: "But now that I see you are doing well, the stone in my heart has dropped."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofan raised his eyebrows. He has always been curious about Liu Shishi's family situation.
