Fortunately, she had taken the medicine earlier and felt much better now.
Madam Cao slapped her thigh. “Oh my, this is bad. How can a thief dare to enter the courtyard? Could it be that he is a thief who does not care about his
“It’s very dangerous for such a person to come to our village.”
“We adults are not afraid. However, what if the child is taken away?”
The children in the village were basically running all around. Other than working with the adults, there were also some who went out to look for wild vegetables.
When Madam Liu heard this, she was also a little worried.
The youngest son of the Wang family, Chu Bo, was the one she loved the most. When she heard this, she was also shocked. Usually, her son would come back from the village by himself. What if he was taken away?
“Mother, what if we can’t catch the thief this time?” Madam Wang asked worriedly.
Although the Zhang family’s children were all grown up, no one wanted a thief to hide in the village. After all, who did not have some savings? If they were stolen, it would be a huge blow to a family.
“Let’s wait for the news first. It will naturally be good if we catch him. If we don’t…” Although Madam Liu did not finish her sentence, all the women present knew what she was talking about.
If they did not catch the thief, they would have to be on guard in the future. It would affect their mood.
About an hour later, Chu Lin, Chu Cai, Chu Chunsheng, and the others had all arrived.
Ye Muyu served them tea. After chasing them for so long, everyone was tired. They did not stand on ceremony and sat down on their own stools.
“How did it go?” Madam Wang was the first to ask impatiently.
Chu Chunsheng nodded. “He’s been captured by the Li family. He’s been locked up in the ancestral hall and will be sent to the government tomorrow.”
“Li family? How is it related to the Li family?”
The women were puzzled.
Chu Lin added, ‘When we chased after them, the other villagers were also chasing after them.”
“I don’t know where that thief came from. It’s as if he doesn’t know the way to our village at all.”
“He actually fell into the paddy field of our village.”
“When that thief ran into the paddy field, the other villagers also chased after him. In an instant, there were many muddy figurines.” Chu Xing waited for Madam Liu and the others to arrive, then followed them to watch the show. As he said this, he could not help but laugh.
He was directly knocked on the head by his mother, Madam Qian. “Child, it’s not a good thing to have thieves in the village. How can you still laugh?”
Chu Xing rubbed his head. Although he was worried at first, he relieved when he saw the thief was caught, so he was not afraid.
“Mother, I haven’t finished speaking.”
“This is what happened to the Li family. That thief was stuck in the field and seized the opportunity to jump into the river.”
“The Li family has also chased after the thief, saying that one of their clansmen lost some money, a whole two strings of money.”
“It’s the girl named Li Yue who was betrothed to Brother Yongliang. Aunt Yan told the Li family that two strings of money were missing. She thought that she didn’t remember where she put it and couldn’t find it. Who knew that a thief would appear in the village.”
“Aunt Yan made the Li family chase after the thief.”
“The Li family is the same as us. They’re afraid that there’s really a thief. The young men in the family went to chase after him and catch him. Otherwise, we almost let the thief escape.”
“You brat, you don’t even know how to catch a thief. Why don’t you just surround him together? Why are you afraid that he will bite you?” Madam Qian tapped Chu Xing’s head and reprimanded him softly.
Chu Xing also felt a little guilty. After all, he had almost let the thief escape. If he had really escaped, he did not dare to tell the elders of the clan..
