Because Xie Zhili was so loud, several neighbors next door were woken up.
It was already dawn, and everyone sat under the banyan tree in the village to talk about this matter. Chen Shouren was also there.
Several men were smoking dry tobacco and asked Xie Zhili, "Did you see the man clearly?"
"It's so dark, I can't see clearly."
Everyone sighed again and called out to Chen Shouren: "Village Chief, tell me, this thief is not from our village, right? Someone in this family dared to steal things in the middle of the night, he is really too bold."
Chen Shouren said nothing.
Everyone asked Xie Zhili again: "We didn't see his appearance, but you can see his height clearly. Does he look like anyone in our village?"
Xie Zhili shook his head again: "It's just a shadow, how can you tell it apart?"
Everyone sighed again: "How can we find this thief if we don't know anything about this?"
Everyone looked at Chen Shouren.
Chen Shouren took two puffs of his pipe and knocked the broken pieces of his pipe onto a stone. "Alright, there's no clues here, so don't guess. If it's really the thief, he won't do it just once. If he shows up again next time, we'll definitely catch him."
After saying that, he stood up, patted his butt and left.
At this time, someone said, "Okay, let's go. The village chief has left, what else is there to say?"
Everyone carried a hoe and went to work in the fields.
Early in the morning, after Xie Jiaojiao got up, she went to the soy sauce factory first. A Da and the others were busy working there. When they saw Xie Jiaojiao coming, they quickly surrounded her.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at them sweating profusely and said, "It's been very sunny these past two days, so you should take a rest at noon."
"Thank you, madam."
Xie Jiaojiao waved her hand and Cuizhu brought up a few purses.
Everyone's eyes were filled with tears as they watched.
"Here is your monthly salary." Xie Jiaojiao placed it in their hands.
Everyone felt something was wrong when they held it.
Chen Ada was the first to speak: "Young Madam, is this too much?"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head: "Not much, everyone has worked hard these days. I heard that the city needs more. You have been working day and night recently, so just consider it as your overtime pay."
Overtime pay?
Although everyone didn't understand, they were happy as long as it was not sent incorrectly.
Xie Jiaojiao checked the quality of the soy sauce again, nodded slightly, gave a few more instructions, and then left.
As soon as I returned to the yard, I saw Sun Ruhua coming back from outside with a bunch of wild onions in her hand.
You have a look of anger on your face.
"Mom, what happened? Who made you so angry?"
Sun Ruhua said angrily: "It's just that Wang Qiushi. I'm annoyed just looking at her now. She speaks in a sarcastic tone."
Xie Jiaojiao poured her a glass of water: "You know exactly what kind of person she is, why are you angry with her?"
Sun Ruhua took a sip of water and said, "I just can't stand her saying bad things about you."
"Me? How did I provoke her?"
"Didn't the village chief ask you for help before, but you refused? Now that you helped Niu Er, he must be holding a grudge against you."
Xie Jiaojiao didn't care: "Let her go, a barking dog won't bite."
"But mother is angry when she hears this! If it was the previous village chief, it would be fine, but look at what Chen Shouren has done in the past few years!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded in agreement: "Okay, mother, it's okay, it was you who bumped into her. If she dared to bark in front of me, I would definitely beat her up."
At this point, Xie Jiaojiao asked again: "Last night at midnight, the dog at home started barking. Did something happen in the village?"
When this was mentioned, Sun Ruhua nodded with a worried look on her face: "I heard that Zhili's house was robbed last night, but luckily Zhili got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and was caught by him, but the thief still ran away."
"Been robbed?"
Sun Ruhua nodded: "I think that the thief must have seen that Zhili's family is now doing business and thought that there is some spare money at home, so he came here specifically."
Xie Jiaojiao frowned slightly: "Wouldn't it be better to steal from Niu Er's house?"
After Xie Jiaojiao said this, Sun Ruhua nodded repeatedly: "Mom has to go and remind Niu Er and Xiu'er to be more careful at night."
As he said this, he walked outside again.
Sun Ruhua went out, and Jiang Weinan came down from upstairs, stretching lazily.
"It was so noisy all night long."
After Xie Jiaojiao explained the situation, Jiang Weinan said, "Then our family must also be careful."
Xie Jiaojiao was not worried: "We have a dog at home, as well as Zuo Cheng and Xu Shan, so what is there to be afraid of."
Jiang Weinan nodded, yes.
Cuizhu over there saw him coming down and hurriedly brought him breakfast.
The wet nurse fed Xiaoxiao milk and then brought the baby over to give to Xie Jiaojiao.
The couple ate their meal while playing with their child.
At Xie Zhili's home, the more Xie Zhili thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"Mingyue, why do I always feel like something is not right?"
"What's wrong?"
Xie Zhili added, "When we went to town yesterday, I really felt like someone was following us. But you see, our house was robbed last night, so I don't think it's right."
"You mean, the thief last night was the one who followed us yesterday?"
Xie Zhili nodded slightly, and then said, "But our place is so small, what is there to steal?"
Liu Mingyue naturally had no way to answer him, so she asked him to think about whether he had offended anyone recently.
Xie Zhili thought about everyone in his head and shook his head slightly.
"Forget it, sir. We were caught off guard yesterday. If the thief comes back today, we will definitely catch him, beat him up, and report him to the police."
Xie Zhili nodded: "Anyway, we must not sleep too deeply at night these two days."
Liu Mingyue nodded in agreement.
But after several days, nothing happened, and everyone felt relieved.
But just after he put it down, that night, Xie Zhili heard a noise coming from the kitchen and instantly became alert.
He patted Liu Mingyue's shoulder, covered her mouth, and asked her to speak softly.
He got up from the bed, put on a coat, picked up the hoe at the bedside and went to the kitchen.
I was very careful along the way, thinking to myself, I finally caught you, this bastard!
In the moonlight, I saw shadows in the kitchen, secretly eating their leftovers.
Xie Zhili rushed over with a hoe in his hand, shouting, "I'll beat you to death, you thief."
All I heard was a clang and the sound of the bowl breaking on the ground.
The shadow fell to the ground and yelled, "Dad!"
Xie Zhili quickly withdrew his hand, otherwise the hoe would have definitely fallen on the black shadow.
Looking at the shadow in the darkness, Xie Zhili asked in disbelief: "Xie Kun?"
