The space boss's daily life of raising cubs, loving husbands and farming

Chapter 47: Catching the Thief and Taking the Dirty

Shitou glanced at the kitchen knife in Xiaohuan's hand and was secretly annoyed that he didn't think of bringing the axe with him.

Village chief Lin secretly hated Liu for doing such evil things. He coughed twice to draw everyone's attention back and looked at Lu Chengjing.

"Lu Xiucai, since you said that the jade pendant was lost, why did you appear in the Lin family? You are still young. If you really made a mistake by accident, you can just admit your mistake and return the silver."

This directly puts the blame for stealing the silver on Lu Chengjing's head.

Gao Qi started to make a noise in the crowd, "You are a scholar, but you stole the silver. You have read so many books of sages that you have lost everything! Hand over the silver immediately!"

"Yes, hand it over!" Someone echoed, looking at Lu Chengjing with disdain.

"Bullshit!" Li Dashan cursed in a rough voice, "Gao Qi, pour out the piss in your brain. Even if the jade pendant belongs to the scholar, the silver is definitely not stolen by the scholar. The scholar's leg is injured and he has difficulty walking. How could he go to the Lin family to steal silver?"

"His leg is injured, but his family members are fine, right?" Gao Qi curled his lips and glanced at Shang Wan.

Suddenly, many people's eyes fell on Shang Wan.

Everyone in the village has witnessed how skilled Shang Wan is. It is easy for him to climb over the wall and steal things.

Besides, Shang Wan had caused a big scene at the Lin family in order to get the child back, and the two families had a grudge against each other. It was not impossible for him to sneak away and do something while the Lin family was away.

For a moment, the villagers' eyes changed slightly as they looked at Shang Wan, with a hint of suspicion emerging in their eyes.

"What are you looking at? How could my sister-in-law be such an open-minded person and a thief?"

Madam Rong quickly came over to stand in front of Shang Wan, with her hands on her hips, glaring back at them one by one.

"Have some conscience. If it weren't for my brother and sister-in-law, you would still be trapped under the house, with broken arms and legs, and you would have died long ago!"

When the Lin family returned to the village, they didn't know about Shang Wan's rescue. Seeing that the situation in Yushu Village was still good, they thought the earthquake was not as serious as that in Liushu Village.

Village Chief Lin looked at Shang Wan deeply. He underestimated this woman's ability.

Liu pinched Chen Guifang's arm and kept winking at her.

Chen Guifang was reluctant to step forward, but now her mother was gone, her brother was gone, her father was sick again, and she had no one to support her in her natal family. If she disobeyed her mother-in-law, she would certainly get into trouble.

"That's not the logic." Chen Guifang stood up and confronted Rong Niangzi, "Saving people is saving people, stealing is stealing. Just because Shang Wan saved someone, can she steal from the villagers at will? What would that mean?"

"Besides, the villagers didn't ask her for help. How much strength can a woman have? She just lent a hand, how can it be enough to save lives?" Chen Guifang felt that Rong was exaggerating, and looked at Rong with some disdain, "Sister-in-law Yuan, I know your family is good with Lu Xiucai's family, but you can't lie against your conscience."

After she said this, she thought she would get the approval of the villagers, but everyone just looked at her and no one joined in.

The villagers knew clearly how critical the situation was during the earthquake yesterday and how much effort Shang Wan put in to save people. Even those who were close to the Lin family could not say anything bad about Shang Wan in the matter of saving people. He was really not so shameless.

Chen Guifang felt uneasy when being stared at by everyone. Was she wrong? Could it be that Shang Wan was more powerful than a man?

Gao Qi wanted to instigate them, but when he looked around, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of his tongue.

Madam Rong said coldly, "Some people are incompetent, so they think everyone is as incompetent as she is. My sister-in-law not only saved people, but also went into the mountains to hunt a lot of meat to help everyone have a good meal. It rained so hard last night, and my sister-in-law was always the first to rush forward. Everyone has eyes and can tell good from bad."

These words made many people feel embarrassed and they were too ashamed to look at Shang Wan.

Madam Shang is such a good person, but they actually suspected her of being a thief. They are really blinded by greed!

Someone whispered, "I believe Madam Shang is not a thief."

"I believe it too."

"Me too."

More and more people agreed, and the direction of development was completely opposite to what the Lin family had imagined, catching them off guard.

Village Chief Lin and Lin Jianshan looked at each other. Lin Jianshan didn't care about anything else and said loudly, "We'll know if it's true or not if we search."

He looked at Lu Chengjing and said, "Lu Xiucai, in order to prove your innocence, do you mind letting us search your house?"

Lu Chengjing looked at him like a fool. Just as he was about to speak, Shang Wan walked over and said, "We are innocent and have nothing to fear. Search us at will."

Lu Chengjing had a hunch that Shang Wan must have discovered something, so he nodded in agreement.

Lin Jianshan immediately called the villagers to go to Lu's house, as if he was afraid that the two would go back on their word.

Looking at the crowd running away, Rong Madam was a little worried, "Sister-in-law, I'm not gossiping behind people's backs. I think the Lin family might have made some preparations. I'll help you hold Yuanyuan, you can go and take a look."

They say that when you catch a thief, you should take out the dirty stuff. If you really find something, you won't be able to explain it even if you have a mouth all over your body.

"No hurry." Shang Wan looked towards his home with a meaningful look in his eyes, "Let's go there slowly."

Lin Jianshan was running hard in the front, followed by a dozen young and strong men from the village, as well as Shi Tou and Village Chief Lin.

Liu's injuries had not healed yet. She didn't sleep much last night and had just made a fuss. She was already exhausted.

Zhou and Chen Guifang both advised her to go home and rest, but Liu refused and asked the two to help her find the silver. She couldn't sleep without the silver.

Some of the other people in the village went back to continue working, while others followed Shang Wan and others slowly, wanting to see what the outcome would be.

Lu Chengjing was held in Shang Wan's arms. He smelled the faint fragrance coming from Shang Wan's body, his eyelids drooped and he felt a little drowsy.

"You've taken the medicine, so go to sleep if you want." Shang Wan looked down at the person in his arms and said softly, "I'm here, so you won't suffer any loss."

Lu Chengjing lifted his eyelids and looked at her for a while, his dark eyes misted with sleepiness, and he shook his head gently, "Not sleepy."

Shang Wan: Your eyelids are about to close, but you’re not sleepy yet?

He didn't understand why the person in his arms was trying to be so strong, but Shang Wan didn't try to persuade him anymore. When he was really sleepy, he would fall asleep.

On the other side, Lin Jianshan failed to find what he was looking for.

Village Chief Lin was standing there calmly waiting for the result. When he saw Lin Jianshan running around like a headless fly, he couldn't help but frown, "Boss, what's going on?"

"Dad, there's nothing." Lin Jianshan continued to dig down in disbelief, but there was nothing but dirt. There was no so-called silver at all.

He clearly told Tiedan to run over and bury the silver here while everyone was at the old elm tree.

There are traces of digging on the ground now, but Tiedan is not here. He must have gone home after burying the silver. The plan went very smoothly, but why can't he dig it up?

Where did the money go?
