Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

night.

An unknown insect kept squeaking.

The moon hung high in the sky, and its soft light shone on the ground.

Like a street lamp.

Autumn is approaching, and the evenings are starting to get a bit chilly.

Xu Gong and his group, who were hiding under the ridge of the field, huddled even tighter in the shadows.

The one-armed beggar tore some weeds to cover himself, hiding on the ground with only his eyes showing.

He then nudged Xu Gong and Zhao Dazhi, indicating that hiding like this would be more concealed.

Xu Gong and the others reacted quickly, all hiding as the one-armed beggar had done.

Not knowing when the thieves would arrive, no one dared to make a sound, and they watched the ground warily.

The first half of the night flew by, and everyone was getting sleepy in the second half. It was quite warm to have the grass covering them.

Xu Gong pinched his thigh hard, cursing himself inwardly.

What a loser! He's had enough of the good life, and now he's even taking a nap.

Just then, some rustling sounds came from afar.

Everyone immediately perked up and looked toward the source of the sound.

Three figures approached from afar, seemingly carrying something. They walked smoothly, knowing exactly where the rocks, shallow pits, and mud were.

They are clearly from this village and are very familiar with their area.

The figure carrying the goods quickly approached the area where the group was hiding.

Feeling guilty, the three men wrapped their heads tightly with a cloth, leaving only their eyes and mouths exposed.

One of them put down his bamboo basket and whispered, "Brother, these sweet potatoes are really delicious. If we had known, we wouldn't have gone against Xu Qing and made those sarcastic remarks."

The man called "Big Brother" scoffed and replied, "Look at you, all you've got is money now."

"Hurry up and dig! We really underestimated this woman; she's planted so much in just one day!"

Another person picked up a hoe and started digging, saying as he dug, "Brother is right, isn't it better this way? Let them plant it."

When we want to eat them, we can just go and dig them up from their field, hehehe...

"Even the heavens are on our side; the moon is so big, we don't have to fumble in the dark anymore."

Seeing that these people had dug up the land they had just planted during the day and made a mess of it, the one-armed beggar felt distressed and kept poking Xu Gong with his arm.

His eyes darted anxiously back and forth between the people in the field and Xu Gong.

If it weren't for the fact that the master said to obey Xu Gong's orders, he would have jumped out and arrested these people as soon as they arrived!

The three people in the field dug away with great effort, and soon filled a basket.

Seeing that Xu Gong still hadn't reacted, not to mention the one-armed beggar, even Zhao Dazhi couldn't take it anymore.

Using the sound of the men digging, Zhao Da quickly whispered, "Aren't you going to go?"

Xu Gong shook his head.

My sister said we should wait until these people have dug halfway before making a decision. If they dig too little, even if things get out of hand, the punishment won't be too severe.

These people need to be taught a lesson so they'll remember it.

He listens to his younger sister.

Seeing Xu Gong's confident demeanor, the one-armed beggar and Zhao Da calmed down a bit.

The group quietly lay in ambush below the field ridge, watching the men dig sweet potatoes with great effort.

"Brother, we can't fit any more. I should have brought a few more baskets."

"Why don't you guys keep digging, and I'll go back and get a few more baskets?"

"Okay, run faster, but be careful not to get spotted."

One of them dropped what he was doing and ran back as fast as he could, while the other two just kept digging.

They agreed to dig them out first, and then wipe the soil off the sweet potatoes and put them in the baskets when the bamboo baskets arrived.

This is much faster.

Xu Gong kept his eyes on the remaining two people, and the faster they dug, the colder his gaze became.

"Brother, I have a creepy feeling... I feel like someone's watching me..."

The person speaking rubbed their arms and unconsciously moved closer to another person.

"With such a lack of courage, you can't even catch up with the hottest shit. In the dead of night, besides the few of us, who else could you possibly be here?"

"Hurry up, or we'll be out of the water before we've finished digging!"

The "elder brother's" tone revealed a strong sense of disdain.

Disliked by the "big brother," the other person didn't dare to say anything, but continued to dig not far from the "big brother."

Seeing that the two had dug enough, Xu Gong made a gesture behind him.

The one-armed beggar and Zhao Dazhi's group had been waiting for this moment. Almost the instant Xu Gong raised his hand, they pounced out.

Zhao Da knocked one of them unconscious with a single chop to the neck.

The one-armed beggar and several others pinned another person down.

The man opened his mouth to shout, but the one-armed beggar grabbed a sweet potato from the ground and shoved it into his mouth. He then said with a smile:

"Eat up! Don't you like to eat? Eat your fill."

With his mouth gagged, the man couldn't catch his breath and passed out.

Xu Gong: "Tie these two up first, gag them, and then catch them together when the person with the basket comes back before we leave."

After tying the two men up, Xu Gong, who had been knocked unconscious, carefully gagged the man.

The group hid again under the ridge of the field.

The person carrying the basket walked halfway and, not seeing anyone in the field, assumed they were just resting from digging.

As they approached, still seeing no one, the person called out in a trembling voice, "Don't scare me! Where are you hiding?"

Only a few insect chirps answered him.

"Brother, I've brought the basket..."

The man spoke to bolster his courage as he walked into the field.

Xu Gong and his men were waiting for this last one, but the man was captured as soon as he entered the sweet potato field.

They still gagged and tied their mouths shut.

All three were captured.

Apart from the one-armed beggar, Xu Gong and the others carried the thief back to the Xu family in pairs.

The Second Courtyard was brightly lit, and Xu Qing was sitting in the reception room, waiting for them.

The three thieves were carried into the courtyard and thrown to the ground. Xu Gong tore off their face masks.

"It was actually them. Humph, they and Xu Wulai are usually the most troublesome."

Unexpectedly, after Xu the Scoundrel left, these few not only showed no remorse but became even more brazen, actually engaging in such petty theft!

Xu Gong spat twice in anger.

Xu Qing looked over and was shocked to find that they were the same people who had spoken sarcastically to her during the village chief's meeting.

Xu Gong brought over a basin of cold water and splashed it on the three of them.

The three of them slowly woke up and found themselves tightly bound.

Upon closer inspection, Xu Qing was sitting at the head of the table, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Xu Qing: "Second brother, take the sweet potato out of his mouth."

Xu Gong did as instructed, but after taking the food, he spat at the man again.

"Qingmei, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Once he was able to speak, Xu Tieniu immediately begged Xu Qing for mercy:

"Could you loosen our bindings a bit first? Come to think of it, I'm the village chief's nephew."

We're all from the same village, we see each other all the time, it would be so bad to hurt our relationship.

There's more to tonight's story than meets the eye. It's all Aunt Tian's fault. If she hadn't threatened us, we wouldn't have come back at all.

When Xu Qing saw these people, he assumed it was because he hadn't let them plant sweet potatoes, and that they were holding a grudge.

That's why they came to destroy their sweet potato field to vent their anger. Now it seems that Aunt Tian is also involved.

What had I done to offend Aunt Tian?
