country bumpkin

That night, Kong Tongming went to the village chief's house under cover of darkness. He told the village chief about the person he suspected.

Village chief Kong Youliang was also shocked when he heard the news, and felt that it must be this person.

There are only two lazybones in their village who don't do any proper work; there aren't any other bad people.

Otherwise, this village would become infamous, and notorious at that.

He and Kong Tongming devised a plan to trap him like a turtle in a jar.

The next day, the village chief sent his wife, Gu Yinhua, to the village meeting point to chat with Zhang Pozi, the loudspeaker, and Wang Pozi, the gossip queen.

They inadvertently revealed that the pigs raised by Granny Xu in the village were fat and strong. They also mentioned that her house didn't have a front gate, making it easy for people to come and go.

The village chief deliberately chose her house. Last time, Liu Dayong even bribed Li Guanggun to get revenge on Kong Xiangdong's family.

Let's see if Li Guanggun, upon hearing of such a good opportunity, will hesitate to steal the pigs fed by Liu Dayong's mother out of consideration for their friendship, or will he steal them anyway?

It remains to be seen whether Li Dayong will regret it once he knows what kind of people he has associated with.

Another important reason is that the pig thief was caught at Kong Tongming's house the day before yesterday. He certainly wouldn't dare to commit another crime.

They chose Granny Xu because she lived alone. Her eldest son was in prison and hadn't returned, and her eldest daughter-in-law had gone back to her parents' home.

The second son went out to work, and the whole family never came back. So, with the old woman alone at home, it was an easy target for a pig thief. He would definitely choose to steal from her house.

The news that Granny Xu's pigs were fat and strong quickly spread throughout the village. Granny Xu had no idea that her family had been used as bait by the village chief.

At this point, Liu Dayong was only a month away from being released from prison. He had diligently reformed himself in jail and received ideological education, and had thoroughly reformed, vowing never to do anything illegal again.

Sure enough, the dark figure reappeared that night. He quietly went to Granny Xu's house, opened the pigsty door, and was herding the pigs out.

This pig is easy to chase away; I just slapped its rump, and it came out of the pigpen.

It's walking towards the gate in the yard now. The pig is almost at the gate.

Suddenly a stray dog ​​darted out from outside the gate, barking wildly at the person and pig in the yard.

This mongrel dog is "Little Yellow" from Kong Tongming's family. Ever since Zhou Caiyun gave birth, she has kept the mongrel at her home to guard the house.

I brought it here specifically to scare away pig thieves.

This unexpected event startled the pig thief. Before he could react, several burly men surrounded him from both sides of the gate.

They were all farmers from the village, with strong arms and tall figures that made the pig thief tremble with fear.

He looked around, trying to figure out how to escape. Before he could come up with a plan, someone shone a flashlight in his face.

He was so frightened that he quickly covered his face, afraid that the villagers would see him and recognize him.

A nimble man rushed to his side with lightning speed and forcefully ripped off his scarf.

Only then did everyone realize that this person was indeed Li Guanggun.

Kong Tongming and Kong Xiangdong followed them into the courtyard.

The village chief also walked in from outside, looked at Li Guanggun and said, "Guanggun, what can I say to you! You've only been out for a few days, and you already want to go back in."

Seeing that he had been recognized, Li Guanggun was no longer afraid.

He said bluntly, "So what if it's me! Village Chief, didn't you say you'd take care of me, that you'd help me? How come I've been out here for so long and you haven't given me a single penny? I'm going to steal things in the village, making everyone live in fear. If I'm not having a good time, nobody else will either. Haha...hahaha!"

Li Guanggun screamed in despair, slumped to the ground, and glared fiercely at everyone present.

The village chief sighed helplessly and said, "You came to my house to look for me after you came out, so how was I supposed to know you were already out? Even if I wanted to help you, I couldn't find you. Besides, instead of working hard to earn money, you only think about getting something for nothing. Who is rich? No one has an easy life. Wealth is accumulated little by little. Who can you blame? Blame yourself!"

After saying that, the village chief stopped listening to him and pointed at Li Guanggun, saying, "You guys, tie him up and take him to the police station now."

Several burly men quickly tied him up like a dumpling, as if afraid he would escape.

The village chief saw that he was still cursing and swearing, and wanted to find a rag to gag him, but he couldn't find one.

With a quick thought, he immediately took off his socks and stuffed them into Li Guanggun's mouth.

Li Guanggun was so disgusted by the smelly socks that he vomited three times, almost throwing up. Luckily, he hadn't eaten and there was nothing left in his stomach to vomit.

The noise was so loud that it finally woke up Granny Xu. She went out of the house and, seeing so many people in her family, didn't know what to do.

The village chief's wife quickly went over and told her what had happened that evening.

She realized what was happening and was so frightened that she took two steps back and bumped into the wall, where the village chief's wife caught her steadily.

By this time, several burly men had already lifted the person onto a donkey cart, with one person driving it. A bicycle followed behind, with the village chief also riding on it, and they all went to the police station together.

When the police arrived at the police station, they were stunned to see Li Guanggun tied up like a dumpling and stuffed with smelly socks.

After understanding the situation, they locked Li Guanggun up first. The village chief and villagers stayed behind to give statements.

After taking his statement, the village chief became worried about Li Guanggun's future life, since if things continued like this, he would always be a destabilizing factor in the village.

The village chief then asked the police if they could arrange some labor reform opportunities for him so that he could learn to support himself. The police said they would consider it.

Just as the village chief was about to lead the villagers back, a policeman who had been to their village before said that Liu Dayong had been released from prison early.

It turned out that Liu Dayong had received a reduced sentence for good behavior in prison. The village chief and others decided to wait for Liu Dayong at the police station.

Soon after, Liu Dayong came out and was very surprised to see the village chief!

When Liu Dayong learned that Li Guanggun had been arrested again for committing another crime, he sighed with regret.

He expressed his willingness to work with the village chief to help Li Guanggun reform himself.

The village chief smiled with satisfaction, believing that as long as everyone worked together, the village would always get better and better.

Afterwards, the village chief led the villagers and Liu Dayong on their way back to the village.

Granny Xu in the village was still terrified by what had just happened when she heard people talking and chatting until they arrived at her doorstep.

It turned out to be Zhang Qingguo from the village, Kong Fujian, the village chief's son, who had returned with the village chief.

There was another person in the car, Liu Dayong.

When Granny Xu saw that her eldest son had also returned, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

With a sob in her voice, she cried out, "Da...Yong, is that you?"

Liu Dayong ran over, knelt down with a thud, and started wailing while hugging his mother's legs.

"Mom, it's me. I'm back. I missed you so much, I missed home, I missed the children, I missed my wife."

Granny Xu wiped away her tears and helped her son up: "Good boy, your mother missed you too."

Granny Xu touched her son's face and said, "Look, my son has become so thin from hunger."

Liu Dayong smiled and said, "Mother, we can talk about it tomorrow. Let's go back and rest now!"

Granny Xu nodded, "Okay, okay, okay."

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, the village chief took his son home.

Granny Xu also brought her son into the house and told him about the current situation at home.

Liu Dayong never expected that his wife had gone back to her parents' home and hadn't returned.

What a good wife!
