The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

It was late at night and a cool breeze was blowing.

The bustling village during the day fell silent, as if all the colors and sounds were collected into a mysterious bag, waiting to be released at dawn.

At such a quiet moment, rustling sounds came from the wall of Tang's house.

The sound was sometimes loud, sometimes soft, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, accompanied by the woman's nervous urging and blaming voice.

"Be gentle, slow down, and don't make any noise..."

"Mom, this ladder is a bit short."

"Just put your feet on the ground and you can get up."

"No, how can I get down?"

"Are you stupid? Jump..."

Bang! A heavy object fell to the ground. Tang Mingxiu struggled to get up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked around, and headed towards the kitchen.

Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed over and pounced towards Tang Mingxiu: "Woof..."

"Ah..." Tang Mingxiu screamed.

The black shadow bit Tang Mingxiu's arm.

"Ah..." Tang Mingxiu pushed and slapped in fear, shouting towards Wang on the other side of the wall, "Mom, save me..."

Wang heard the voice and quickly asked, "What are you yelling about?"

“They have a dog.”

"Run, idiot..."

Li Taohua was the first to run out, holding a feather duster in her hand, and ran towards Tang Mingxiu: "Where did this little thief come from? How dare you break into our house and steal things?"

Tang Dafu chased after her, waving the oil lamp in front of Tang Mingxiu. After seeing her clearly, he frowned and said, "Tang Mingxiu, what do you want to do?"

Tang Luwu, Qin Huiyin and Tang Yixiao came out one after another.

Seeing this, Tang Yi smiled and said, "You ran into my yard in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. What did you want to steal?"

"I didn't mean to steal anything." Tang Mingxiu's eyes were evasive. "Something just blew over to your house, and I wanted to come over and pick it up."

"what?"

"My little clothes." Tang Mingxiu said, "If it wasn't something so important, I wouldn't have come to pick it up at night."

Qin Huiyin raised her eyebrows: "What about your clothes?"

"I couldn't find it. Maybe it was too dark and hard to find." Tang Mingxiu said, "Or maybe I saw it wrongly and the wind didn't blow towards me. Anyway, I didn't mean to run into your yard."

Bang bang bang! Wang was knocking on the door outside.

Li Taohua sneered: "Another one."

"Mom, let's go to the village chief to seek justice!" Qin Huiyin said.

"Okay, I'll go find the village chief." Tang Dafu said, "You guys keep an eye on them."

Tang Dafu opened the gate.

Wang rushed in.

"Woof..." Dahei pounced over and shouted at Wang.

Wang was so frightened that she fell to the ground, looking at the huge black dog in horror.

In the darkness of the night, the big black fur blended into the darkness, leaving only a pair of glowing eyes staring at Wang, waiting for any movement from Wang so that they could pounce on her immediately.

"Mom, my arm hurts so much...the dog bit me..." Tang Mingxiu said crying.

"How could you...how could you let a dog bite someone?" Wang said tremblingly, "My daughter was bitten. You must be held responsible."

"I don't want to waste time talking to her. Let's wait until the village chief comes."

The village chief's house. The village chief's wife nudged the village chief next to her and said, "Dad, that dog's barking is a bit creepy. Has something happened in our village again?"

"How could so much have happened?" the village chief said impatiently. "It's only been quiet for a few days. Can you please stop saying unlucky things?"

"But I feel like the dog barking tonight is a little different," the village chief's wife said. "Tang Dafu's new wife is a bit strange. Everything that's happened recently is related to their family. This dog barking is very strange, different from the barking of dogs in the village. Could something strange happen to their family again?"

"No, there's not that much to do. Go to sleep!"

Tang Dafu's voice came from outside: "Village chief, I'm Tang Dafu, I need you for something."

The village chief and his wife: "..."

The village chief's wife pushed the village chief and said, "Look, you said there weren't so many things to do. Then what is this?"

"It's annoying." The village chief sat up. "I'll go take a look."

"It's so late. If you don't show up, he'll keep yelling outside. I'm afraid the whole village will be woken up soon. Go check it out. If it's nothing serious, just deal with it."

The village chief came out wearing his coat.

"What's going on? It's so late. What on earth do you have to talk to me about?"

"Our house was robbed."

"What?" The village chief tugged at his clothes and said irritably, "What's missing?"

"Nothing less."

"How did you know there was a thief?"

"Of course it's because we caught the thief." Tang Dafu said, "Village Chief, the thief is from our village. You have to help us judge the case."

As he said that, Tang Dafu stuffed a bag of candy into the village chief's hand.

The village chief touched something, dipped a little and put it in his mouth. It tasted sweet.

"Okay, I'll go take a look," the village chief said. "Wait here for a moment while I go in and put my shoes on."

After the village chief entered the house, he handed the candy to his wife and whispered a few words to her.

The village chief's wife tasted the candy and said, "This family is quite capable. Why don't you go over and help them decide? Our village would be too unsafe if thieves broke into it."

When the village chief followed Tang Dafu to the Tang family, they heard the sound of Wang and Li Taohua arguing with each other from the yard.

"We are not thieves, we are just picking up things."

"Where's the stuff?"

"It's so dark, of course I can't see clearly."

"You're not sleeping in the middle of the night and you crawled over to my house to pick up something. Do you think we're fools?"

"Didn't you say at the beginning that we shouldn't enter your house? If you don't wait until night, can you let us come during the day?"

Tang Dafu pushed open the door and invited the village chief in.

He lit a torch and when he walked in, several pairs of eyes looked at him.

"Village chief, please come and judge the situation. Our house has been robbed."

"Village Chief, we are innocent. Mingxiu lost her clothes, and because she was too shy, she waited until night to crawl over and pick them up. You know we had a big fight, and if we hadn't come here secretly, they would have definitely not let us off."

The village chief was overwhelmed when he heard these arguments.

The husband says he is right, and the wife says she is right. These debates all sound reasonable. He is the village chief, not an official. How can he judge this matter?

"Village chief, you have to take charge of this for us!" Wang cried. "Mingxiu was bitten by their dog. They must give us an explanation."

"Why did you bite someone?" The village chief frowned. "If it was just a misunderstanding, we can talk it out. But if someone was bitten, that's no small matter. Mingxiu, where are you hurt?"

"Arm." Tang Mingxiu said aggrievedly.

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurts, it hurts so much," Tang Mingxiu said. "Village chief, they must pay compensation."
