Now Zhang, Xiaoting and Xiaolan sleep in one room, Shengxuan and Xiaowen sleep in one room, and Zhang Shanfeng and Zhang Qingfeng sleep in one room.

Several people checked the things in their rooms, and soon everyone gathered in the main room.

"They are all there, but there are signs that the closet has been rummaged through." Zhang was thankful, "Luckily I hid the silver, so it wasn't stolen."

Afterwards, Zhang opened the stove cabinet in the main room, and all the brown sugar, white sugar and ginger were gone.

Zhang Shanfeng and Zhang Qingfeng saw Sheng Xuan sitting at the end of the kang without moving. They thought that this matter might be related to the neighbors and it was not appropriate for them to get involved, so they turned around and went back to the house.

"We've separated the family!" Zhang said unhappily.

This sentence contained a huge amount of information, and Xiao Lan immediately understood the clue, "Mom, you know who did it, right?"

Zhang looked at Sheng Xuan's expression and stopped talking.

"Ah, two of my rabbits are missing." Xiaowen shouted in the yard. Xiaolan hurried to the vegetable cellar, and fortunately the pork was still there.

"Keep your voice down." Sheng Xuan said, "Did you count wrong?"

"Dad, I count these rabbits three times a day," Xiao Wen said a little aggrievedly, "Originally there were sixteen in total. I gave two to Sister Ye and Xiao Tao, so there were fourteen left. Now there are only twelve in the nest."

The family came to the rabbit's nest and counted them twice, and there were twelve rabbits each.

Zhang snorted coldly.

Xiao Lan had come to her senses. Who else could have made Zhang sneer and Sheng Xuan shut up and not want to talk more, except Cui? Xiao Ting and Xiao Wen observed the expressions and understood what was going on. They whispered to each other for a while, and even what they didn't understand before, they now understood.

Xiao Lan thought that the thieves were probably after the tofu recipe. Thinking of the rabbit that Xiao Ye and Xiao Tao had lost, she felt that the second house had something to do with it. Judging from what Zhang said, Cui seemed to be involved. Zhang and Cui had been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for so many years, and they knew each other's character best. Besides, if the second son had done it alone, Sheng Xuan would not have acted like this.

"Fortunately, not too many valuable things were lost at home. Next time you go out, you should leave someone at home." After a long silence, Sheng Xuan said this.

Should we just forget about it this time? Xiao Lan was immediately unhappy.

Her family was robbed, but she had to swallow her anger. Why? They didn't steal the formula and money this time, but would they be so lucky next time? She was afraid that if she tolerated it this time, the other party would see that her family didn't dare to say anything and would become even more unscrupulous.

Xiao Lan disagreed with her father's idea. She also knew that if this matter was exposed, the Sheng family would lose face and become the laughing stock and topic of conversation in the village. Her family would not be able to look good either, after all, they also had the surname Sheng.

But if the neighbor has the courage to do it, he must have the courage to bear the consequences. The old Sheng family is so unscrupulous because they think Sheng Xuan will suppress the matter. Besides, the neighbor has not been caught in the act. As long as he insists that he didn't steal, he can bite back later, which will be even more exciting.

Xiao Lan decided to start with the second house, and after telling Zhang and Sheng Xuan about her idea, she went to the old Sheng's house. The door next door was not closed yet, Xiao Lan took a torch, and several people went straight to the second house. As soon as they reached the door, they smelled the aroma of stewed rabbit meat.

Xiao Lan kicked the door open and saw the second family of five eating rabbit meat. Xiao Lan handed the torch to Xiao Ting and went to grab the basin on the table. Sheng Kai and Shen Shi panicked for a moment, then calmed down and hurried forward to stop Xiao Lan.

When Zhang saw Xiaolan being raped by Shen and falling to the ground, she immediately became unwilling and started fighting with Shen.

Xiao Lan was not willing to be outdone. She got up from the ground and helped Zhang beat Shen while howling loudly, "Second Aunt, my house was robbed tonight. It turned out that you did it. You have so many chickens at home and you can't eat enough. How did you steal from my house? You are so shameless. This time you caught me red-handed."

Shen wanted to argue, but she was beaten so hard by the mother and daughter that she cried out loudly and could not speak clearly.

Xiao Lan continued, "My family also lost brown sugar, white sugar, and ginger. You hand them all over."

Xiaoting and Xiaowen wanted to look through their cabinets, but were stopped by Shengliang and Xiaocao. Xiaowen took the torch from Xiaoting and threw it directly at them. They were afraid of being burned and quickly hid to the side. Xiaoting took the opportunity and opened the cabinet door, and found that brown sugar, white sugar, and ginger were all there.

She took out these things one by one. When Sheng Kai saw them, he naturally refused to let her go and tried to push her. Sheng Nuo loved his children like the apple of his eye. He was heartbroken when Xiao Lan suffered a loss just now. Seeing Sheng Kai's hand movements, how could he let him succeed? "Second brother, what are you doing? Xiao Ting is your niece after all, how dare you hit her. I can't bear to hit my own children, try it yourself." Sheng Xuan stepped forward and stopped Xiao Ting behind him, and started to push Sheng Kai.

Sheng Liang saw his father suffering and rushed to help. Sheng Yuan was older and could distinguish right from wrong. He knew that his family was wrong, so he stood far away and was too embarrassed to step forward to help.

When Xiaowen saw Xiaoliang hitting his father, he immediately became unhappy. He rushed over like a cannon, knocked him to the ground, sat on him and hit him in the face.

Xiaoliang was beaten and cried loudly.

Such a big commotion not only alarmed the old Sheng family, but also the neighbors. In the winter, there was nothing to do, and there was even less fun. In a short while, a circle of people gathered outside the Sheng family's door.

When Mr. Sheng went to the second room to see what was going on, he heard whispering at the door.

"Oh, it sounds like the second brother went to the third brother's house to steal something and got beaten up."

"He was caught red-handed."

"The Sheng family is really bad. The eldest son wanted to harm someone's daughter before, and now the second son is stealing someone's house. We should be more careful in the future. It's our bad luck to have such neighbors."

"That's right. Sheng Xuan and his wife are such honest and decent people. How could they be forced into this state?"

"Hey, Zhang's family is still here."

"Maybe they think that Sheng Xuan and his wife will suffer in silence and dare not make a fuss. They are really making a wishful thinking."

After hearing these words, Mr. Sheng's face turned red with shame. He hurried to the second room and saw that it was smashed into a mess. He shouted, "Stop fighting, everyone, follow me to the upper room."

Mr. Sheng's words were still very authoritative. Everyone stopped. Xiao Lan and the others followed Mr. Sheng upstairs with the stolen goods. When they passed the gate, they deliberately said loudly, "We caught you with the stolen goods. Let's see how you will argue later. Are you going to say that these things grew legs and ran into your house?"

Sure enough, I heard a burst of laughter coming from outside the door.

The old man and Xiaolan's family knew what was going on. It must have been done by Cui and the second son. Cui must have heard from the second son that her family had bought a lot of land in the north of the village, so she had this idea.

She often did this kind of thing before the family split up. The eldest family lived in the town all year round, so she had no chance to do it. The second family was sloppy and cowardly. Once she rummaged through the unwashed personal belongings of the second family, which made her so sick that she couldn't eat for several days. The fourth family had very few things. Only the third family had a capable mother's family to help them, and their cabinets were tidy. She often rummaged through them, but she did it very covertly and never stole anything. She had plenty of ways to make them hand over their things.
