After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Shen Nian was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. She got up in a daze and slowly opened the door, only to see Ye Jiaojiao standing at the door with an anxious look on her face.

"Xiao Nian, I heard you caught the thief! I slept so soundly last night that I didn't hear anything!"

Ye Jiaojiao said loudly, her face full of worry: "Are you hurt?"

Shen Nian rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned: "Did Zhao Gaoxuan tell you?"

Last night, Shen Nianyou saw Zhao Gaoxuan helping out in the yard, kicking Erlai and Tiesheng from time to time.

"Yes, Zhao Gaoxuan came to my place this morning while cooking and told me that you caught a thief last night. Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Ye Jiaojiao looked at Shen Nian with concern.

Shen Nian shook his head gently: "Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

"What about the thief? What happened to him?" Ye Jiaojiao asked curiously.

"Sent to the police station." Shen Nian replied calmly.

"I guess this matter has spread like wildfire in the village!" Ye Jiaojiao shouted.

Indeed, the news spread throughout the brigade like a gust of wind.

Some members thought that Shen Nian was too cruel. She had lost nothing and there was no need to send Er Laizi and the other man to the police station.

Some members also supported Shen Nian's approach. The first to be affected was Aunt Zhang's gang. Whenever she heard others talking, she would go up and argue with them like a firecracker.

When Zhang Fengfeng heard the news, her mouth, which was big enough to fit an egg, was so surprised that she was almost speechless.

Er Laizi was in jail? The scumbag who had tortured her for her entire life in her previous life was in jail just like that? She couldn't believe her ears.

Zhang Fengfeng hurried to the Youth League Home to find Shi Shengxia.

"Shengxia, is what they said outside true? Er Laizi was sent to the police station by Shen Nian?" Zhang Fengfeng asked in a trembling voice.

Shi Shengxia saw that she was a little confused and nodded gently: "That should be the case. I heard from Zhao Zhiqing in the front yard that Shen Nian personally sent Er Laizi and Tie Sheng to the police station last night."

"Should?" Zhang Fengfeng didn't want to hear the word "should". She wanted to confirm the news that Er Laizi had gone in.

Zhang Fengfeng wanted to find Shen Nian to verify, but although she and Shen Nian were in the same team, they had never spoken to each other.

Zhang Fengfeng hesitated for a moment, turned around and ran towards the team. Shi Shengxia looked at her back, confused.

What does this mean? What does Er Laizi's going in have to do with her?

Zhang Fengfeng ran to the gate of Aunt Zhang San's house and said, "Aunt! Aunt, come out!"

"My grandma isn't home!"

When Chuntao heard Zhang Fengfeng's voice, she rolled her eyes and yelled in the yard, her face full of disdain. It was like the sun was rising from the west. Zhang Fengfeng would have to ask for her mother's help one day.

Zhang Fengfeng was stunned, then turned around and ran towards the village entrance.

At this time, Aunt Zhang was chatting with the villagers at the village entrance while knitting a sweater for her granddaughter Chuntao.

Zhang Fengfeng ran to Aunt Zhang, panting. "Aunt, Aunt, they said Er Laizi and Tie Sheng were taken to the police station by Shen Nian. Is this true?"

"Hey, Feng girl, why are you calling me aunt today?"

Aunt Wang raised the crochet needle in her hand and looked at Zhang Fengfeng with a half-smile on her face.

Zhang Fengfeng glared at her, ignored Aunt Wang's teasing, and stared at Aunt Zhang San.

"Is it true, Aunt?"

"Of course!" Aunt Zhang said proudly, "Those two thieves were taken to the police station by Shen Zhiqing. Shen Zhiqing is really a good guy!"

"Shen Zhiqing is really amazing! He said he would send her to the police station, and he did."

"That's right. I heard that the two men were holding knives. If that happened to me, I would have been so scared that I couldn't move."

Aunt Zhang snorted, "I think he's just too arrogant. He even dared to carry a knife when stealing. He deserved to be caught this time!"

Zhang Fengfeng felt mixed emotions as she listened to what Aunt Zhang San and the others said.

Er Laizi really went in, and the demon who had tortured her for her entire life in her previous life finally got the punishment he deserved.

But she couldn't be happy, instead she felt a little panicked.

Why? She couldn't explain.

Perhaps it was something she had experienced in her previous life that suddenly changed in this life, and she was unable to adapt for a while.

At this time, someone joked, "That's not right, Fengya, why are you so concerned about Erlaizi's affairs? Is there something going on between you and him?" Everyone looked at Zhang Fengfeng when they heard this.

Zhang Fengfeng's face changed, and she retorted in a panic, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have nothing to do with Er Laizi!"

After saying that, Zhang Fengfeng ran away without waiting for anyone to speak.

Looking at Zhang Fengfeng's back, Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang San looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

What's wrong with Zhang Fengfeng today? Why is she so gloating over Er Laizi's arrest?

Is there really something going on between these two people?

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang thought of the same thing.

Who cares! It has nothing to do with her, Aunt Zhang Sanmei. She lowered her head and continued knitting a sweater.

Zhang Fengfeng ran for a while and saw that no one was chasing her, so she stopped, holding her knees and gasping for breath.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. When she heard the news that Er Laizi was arrested, her first reaction was to verify it.

Now that she thinks about it, she has nothing to do with Er Laizi in this life, so why should she care so much about this matter?

Zhang Fengfeng shook her head, trying to get rid of these thoughts.

After swinging for a long time, she stopped and stared blankly ahead. After a while, she sighed and trotted to catch up.

Zhou Jindong and Shi Shengxia were walking on a country road. Zhou Jindong looked at Shi Shengxia and then asked softly, "Shi Zhiqing! Didn't the thieves who broke into the cowshed last night scare you?"

Shi Shengxia looked into the distance and shook her head: "I wasn't scared. I heard a noise behind me! I didn't go out."

Zhou Jindong nodded when he heard this: "That's good, Shi Zhiqing, what have you thought about what I said last time?"

What happened last time? Shi Shengxia thought about it. She hadn't made up her mind yet, or rather, she had never thought about dating Zhou Jindong at all.

He was just a target for her to capture, how could she possibly develop feelings for him?

She looked Zhou Jindong in the eye and said calmly, "Comrade Zhou, I've thought about it carefully, and I don't want to date right now."

Zhou Jindong's expression changed, a look of hurt flashed in his eyes. He asked anxiously, "Why? Is it because of my family?"

Shi Shengxia was silent for a moment. She didn't want to hurt Zhou Jindong, but she didn't want to deceive him even more.

"Comrade Zhou, you are a good person, but our futures are not on the same line. I think you deserve someone better."

Zhou Jindong was stunned, a look of pain flashed in his eyes. He looked at Shi Shengxia's back, and the sense of loss in his heart grew heavier.

He liked Shi Shengxia. From the first time he saw her, he knew she was the one for him.

But now, she rejected him.

Shi Shengxia felt a little apologetic. She didn't want to hurt Zhou Jindong, but she could only use him at the moment.

She could feel that Zhou Jindong's feelings for her were sincere, but this could not change her decision.

The two continued walking, and the atmosphere was a little dull.

Zhou Jindong tried to speak several times, but finally remained silent.

"Shengxia! Brother Jindong!" Zhang Fengfeng suddenly ran over from behind the two of them and looked at them anxiously.

Shi Shengxia and Zhou Jindong stopped and looked back at Zhang Fengfeng.

"Shengxia, I...I have something to tell you." Zhang Fengfeng looked at Shi Shengxia with a shy look on her face.

Shi Shengxia looked at Zhang Fengfeng, feeling somewhat confused, not knowing what she wanted to say to him.
