In the book, I was fed by my sister

The Song family's gate was banging loudly. Song Ran raised her head sleepily and saw the flickering fire outside the gate through the window. She wrapped herself in a coat and muttered, "Is there a sudden death in some family?"

The gate was opened, and Wu Dongmei and several brothers from Li Sanwan's family stood outside holding torches. Wu Dongmei looked anxiously behind Song Ran and saw that only Song Li was there. She shouted into the dark yard, "The child's father!"

"Hey, why are you looking for someone in my house in the middle of the night?" Song Ran finally woke up from her nap. It turned out that they were not attending a funeral, but looking for someone. Looking for a man in the middle of the night, and found an unmarried woman's house. If she told others about this, she would never be able to raise her head to face people again.

"My man!"

"Why did you ask your man to come to my house?"

"He...he said he came to your house!" Wu Dongmei was evasive, but she had someone backing her up. Although she felt guilty, she still said firmly, "Get out of the way! I'll find out after I go in and search." Although Song Ran was a little girl, every household in their village would set traps under the courtyard wall to prevent thieves.

She concluded that her man was at Song Ran's house. It was not a big deal if he was locked up, but she was afraid that he would fall into a trap and pass out. Before, there was a thief in the next village who cut his thigh in a trap and bled profusely. When he was found, he was gone.

Her husband went out in the early night, and when she fell asleep, there was no one in the bed next to her, which made her panic.

Wu Dongmei and a few others pushed Song Ran away. Song Li watched everything in the darkness with the urge to kill almost overflowing.

The noise woke up the old man who was a light sleeper. When Grandma Gu came over with a lamp, she saw Song Ran pulling someone with red eyes. Song Ran was a little girl after all, and her strength was not as good as that of a woman who worked in the fields all year round, let alone a strong man.

"Oh my God, you are breaking into the house to rob!"

"Grandma Gu, gong!"

The gongs in Lihua Village are beaten when something urgent happens, such as a sudden death, a fire, or a thief. Song Ran didn't care whether Li Sanwan was at her house or not. She just wanted an explanation today, thinking that no one in her family was bullying her.

"Stop her!" Wu Dongmei also knew that if this matter became a big deal, it would be bad, so she hurriedly called for someone to stop her.

Song Ran closed the gate to the courtyard, using his small body to block the way. Grandma Gu ran home swiftly, locked the door immediately, took out the gong and started to strike it in her own yard.

Li Wanshu felt that he had a lot of worries recently. Yesterday, he called everyone to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms. He originally thought that everyone would be grateful to him after they had another way to make money. In the end, Li Mingping and his wife messed things up, and he became a judge in a private case.

He is old and just wants to do more practical work before stepping down. The villagers remember him well and would like everyone to help him when he needs help in the future.

As a result, every day, he was asked to be the balance. He was afraid that if he praised one family, the other family would find fault with him, and in the end, he was caught between a rock and a hard place.

As he got older, he had less sleep. He felt that he hadn’t closed his eyes for long when he was woken up by the old woman beside him: “Boss, do you hear the gong?”

"It must be some trivial things that make me have a sweet dream." Li Wanshu turned over and continued to doze off.

"Oh, I don't know if it's something urgent, but the bell has been rung."

Li Wanshu couldn't fall asleep anymore after listening to the old woman's mumbling. He sat up. Because he was hard of hearing, it took him a while to hear clearly: "Hey, I'll go see what's going on."

By the time Li Wanshu, who was hard of hearing, could clearly hear the sound of the gong, half of the people in Lihua Village had arrived at Song Ran's door.

Some of the people who arrived first thought that Grandma Gu had passed away after hearing the noise. They were all worried that the money for the funeral would have to be collected by every family, and they didn't know whether her grandson was dead or not, and whether anyone would be able to pay back the money in the future.

When Grandma Gu came out with the gong and ran into the Song family's yard, they realized that something had happened in the Song family, and they all rushed into the Song family.

Seeing that there were so many people coming, Li Sanwan's brothers began to back out.

"Stop them! Help me notify the village chief!"

When Li Wanshu rushed to the Song family, he saw people everywhere in the yard and felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.

Could it be that the little girl from the Song family went there? He heard that the little girl from the Song family could go into the mountains, so why did she go there suddenly? The Song family moved into Lihua Village from outside, so they had no relatives with the same surname. If the little girl went there, Song Ran would have nothing to look forward to.

"The village chief is here!"

The call of "village chief" made Li Wanshu straighten his back.

The crowd made way for Li Wanshu to walk in. Seeing Song Li standing there in good health, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as Song Li was okay, everything was fine.

"What's going on?" Li Wanshu asked.

“They came to rob!”

As soon as Song Ran opened his mouth, he sentenced him to the crime of chopping off his hand. Wu Dongmei and others gasped when they heard it.

Li Sanwan's brothers kept waving their hands: "Hey, sister, don't say anything nonsense, we are just following my brother's wife to take a look."

Li Wanshu was not a fool. He came to someone else's house in the middle of the night. These people must be doing something. He said, "Don't make it sound so easy. What's the matter that requires you to go to someone else's house in the middle of the night?"

"Dongmei, tell the village chief that it was you who pulled us here." Li Sanwan's brothers immediately pushed Wu Dongmei out. Usually they were cockfighting and running errands, and were not liked by the village chief. At this time, they wanted to stay away from him.

"Yes..." Wu Dongmei was anxious and timid. She was even more timid when so many people pointed their spears at her. However, she was still thinking about Li Sanwan in her heart. She said, "My husband said he wanted to come to the Song family to take a look. He has been here for a while. I saw that he didn't come back, so I hurried over to look for him."

After hearing this, everyone understood that this person was not here to take a look, but someone had come to the Song family to steal things in the middle of the night and fell into a pit. Wu Dongmei was rushing to rescue him.

Li Wanshu slapped his head, what was going on every day, but saving people was the most important thing: "Song Ran, this is a matter of life and death, if you want to talk about it, wait until the person is rescued. If you want to go to the government, I will go with you to be a witness."

"Where's mother!" Wu Dongmei cried out when she heard the word "government".

Song Ran was waiting for these words, "Okay, Village Chief, please come with us to look for the person."

Song Li had just taken advantage of the fact that there were many people around and used her special powers to cover the footprints left by Li Sanwan on the wall with weeds. So everyone searched the Song family's house inside and out, but they didn't see any signs of anyone climbing over the wall, let alone anyone.

"Did you see anyone?" Li Wanshu asked.

Song Ran shook his head. "No, I didn't hear any sound. I was woken up by them."

"Are you sure that the 30,000 yuan from your family came to the Song family?" Li Wanshu asked Wu Dongmei again.

Wu Dongmei was also stunned. Before Li Sanwan left, he did say that he was going to the Song family to steal the pheasant back, but now she was not sure. Could it be that her man lied to her and went out to drink and play cards?

"I... maybe I heard it wrongly." Wu Dongmei muttered softly. Under the current circumstances, her family must not ask for Sanwan to come, otherwise she would really be thrown into jail.

"Oh, it really disturbs my sleep!" Everyone cursed, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

"We need to make things clear. Don't take advantage of your numbers to bully two little girls." Li Wanshu scolded. Wu Dongmei also knew that she was not in the right, so she nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, everyone, go away. If you found mushrooms yesterday, remember to come to the hall at dawn."

Everyone left yawning.

Song Ran sent Grandma Gu back to the house, thinking that she would use yesterday's chicken soup instead of cooking porridge, so she continued to hold Song Li.
