The four people who were named didn't dare to speak. Zhang San's family used to be notoriously poor in the village.

After they moved into Yuntao's workshop, their lives became better and better. The villagers in the village also lived better and better after moving into Yuntao's village, but it was different for Zhang San's family.

The house is made of blue bricks and tiles. The family can now pay 200 taels of silver to marry Wang Dami. Now the whole village is talking about what Zhang San's family did to become rich.

At this time, Daniu said weakly, "Mom, what do you think we should do now?"

"What else can we do? We are just talking here and we have no evidence. You should go find evidence during this period. Remember, don't alert the enemy."

Daniu knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to say a word.

The lady asked at this time, "Mom, what should we do if it is found out that it is really Zhang San?

Yun Tao said unhappily, "What do you say? Of course, leave get out of class."

Yun Tao was also very tired. Her three adopted sons were becoming more and more lazy as the family business grew bigger.

Many businesses are not willing to run their business properly themselves and delegate all power to people below them, which can easily lead to problems.

After Wang Jieba got the silver, he went back home and went to town overnight. Everyone thought that Wang Jieba went to a brothel with the silver, after all, Wang Jieba did come out of a brothel.

But when Wang Jieba came out of the brothel, he met people from the same village.

The villagers from the same village were still there gloating and saying, "Wang Jieba, how does Hua Xiaojie taste? I think you will never be able to taste Hua Xiaojie again."

The man who spoke was very proud and looked at Wang Jieba with a condescending attitude.

"Li Hao, you guys just can't stand seeing people doing well. I have so much money, I can find prostitutes every day in the future. Do you think I am a poor guy like you? I am rich now."

Li Hao looked at Wang Jieba and asked, "It's been a while since you went back to visit your old nest."

Wang Jieba was puzzled. What was there to steal in his house? The shabby house was made entirely of straw. What was so good about it?

Li Hao was very proud and said, "You should go back and take a closer look."

Suddenly, Wang Jieba realized that his gold and the gold jewelry Yuntao gave him were worth a lot of silver.

Wang Jieba hurried towards home.

Li Hao was so happy when he saw this scene. He came to the town to celebrate and buy good wine and meat to see Wang Jieba's joke. He didn't expect that he would actually meet Wang Jieba. It was really exciting.

As soon as Wang Jieba arrived at the village gate, he heard people in the village pointing at him and laughing at him.

"Another rascal in the village said, "Wang Jieba, you should go back quickly. Your thatched hut is gone. I wonder where you will sleep when you come back."

The person who spoke said this with a gloating tone.

When the villagers around heard this, they all burst into laughter. They were all laughing at Wang Jieba and no one cared about him.

After hearing this, Wang Jieba became even more anxious and quickened his pace towards home.

When Wang Jieba returned home, he was stunned. His home had been torn down beyond recognition. It was no longer a place where people used to live. It was just an abandoned thatched hut where even dogs wouldn't live.

The thatched house had been torn into pieces, and even the simple toilet next to it had been demolished, leaving only a piece of land.

Wang Jieba was so angry when he saw the scene that he started cursing, using all the curse words he knew in his life.

The surrounding villagers were all standing there watching the joke. "Wang Jieba, you don't know, your thatched cottage seems to have some golden treasure. People come here every day. Your house wasn't like this at first. In fact, they just rummaged through the boxes and cabinets at first, but they probably didn't find what they wanted."

"It started to get worse and worse, and finally the situation you see now appeared. The house was gone."

Wang Jieba was so angry that he wanted to die. These bastards just couldn't bear to see others living a good life.

The next day, everyone in the surrounding area knew that Wang Jieba had received a lot of gold jewelry from Yuntao and sold Wang Dami for 200 taels of silver.

The villagers were all envious of Wang Jieba for making such a fortune. The gold jewelry and silver might be worth thousands of taels, or at least seven or eight hundred taels. In the eyes of the villagers, this amount of money was enough to last a lifetime.

Wang Jieba suddenly saw a hole next to the toilet and immediately went forward to check. It would have been fine if he hadn’t looked. When he did, he was shocked.

All the gold jewelry that he had hidden inside was gone, and the villagers also discovered this. They immediately came forward to see what was going on.

Wang Jieba was seen kneeling at the entrance of the cave, wailing loudly, "My gold jewelry, my silver, are gone, completely gone."

The more Wang Jieba thought about it, the sadder he became. He really had become his old self again.

At this time, the village chief came and said, "Wang Jieba, you lost so much silver and gold jewelry. You can report it to the government. The government will accept your case, but the possibility that the silver will not be recovered is still relatively high."

"There were several waves of people coming to your place. They were very hard to find, and they all came at night. They were armed with knives, so we didn't dare to stop them. We didn't expect you to be so bold as to actually leave gold jewelry and silver in your house."

Wang Jieba became even angrier when he heard what the village chief said, "Then why didn't you report it to the police when they first came?"

The villagers around said angrily, "It's not our house, why should we worry? Besides, we don't have that much silver and gold jewelry at home. We are not afraid of others coming to rob us. I thought we had a bad reputation in the village like you."

Wang Jieba was so angry that he couldn't utter a word.

A group of people are all gloating over other people's misfortune, there is not a single good person.

The village chief couldn't stand it anymore, so he arranged for someone to go to the town to report to the police immediately.

Half an hour later, the town's yamen runners finally arrived. They were also shocked by the scene before them. They had been working as yamen runners for so many years, but this was the first time they had seen such a situation. They stole things and even dismantled the house of the person.

Even the toilet was not spared, and there was a big hole next to the thatched house. The yamen's eyes lit up, and looking at Wang Jieba's reaction, he thought that the thief had really found it.

But the thief is really cruel. It would be fine if he just stole the things, but why did he tear down other people's houses? He has a really bad heart.

Wang Jieba saw the yamen runner as if he had found a life-saving straw. He immediately knelt on the ground, hugged the yamen runner's thigh and said, "Sir, you must help me. I have 200 taels of silver and gold jewelry."

Wang Jieba said a lot of things, and this big man just kept crying there.

When the yamen runner heard that so much silver was kept at home, he was tempted and wanted to steal it. What about others? It was a pity for this old man, who finally made a fortune but failed to keep it.
