“Then, I found out that nothing was missing from my sister-in-law’s house. I also checked the surroundings of the house and found traces of someone waiting for a chance. I saw footprints all around the walls.”

“So when the Li clan members wanted to capture that thief and bring him to the ancestral hall, I knew that the elders hadn’t arrived yet, so it would be difficult to snatch him away.”

Chu Xing’s news shocked everyone. “Waiting for a chance? Wasn’t this the thief’s first time in the village?”

Madam Liu asked while frowning. Even if this thief was caught, there might still be more.

As for Madam Ye, she had always been living with two children. It was inevitable that they would be targeted.

After all, everyone in the village knew that Third Brother was a scholar. The scholar’s family had property, and the man was not around. The woman and children would easily be targeted by anyone. Moreover, Madam Ye’s health was not good.

If they brought the two children to the old residence again… Only Madam Ye would be at home.

If something really happened… A woman could not even keep her innocence.

Madam Liu pondered over this matter and thought that she had to discuss it with her man when she went back tonight. Otherwise, it would not be good if something really happened.

When Ye Muyu heard Chu Xing say that there were people camping around the house, her mood was very heavy.

“Yes, logically speaking, that thief should not be familiar with the roads in our village.”

“Because that thief didn’t have a clear escape route when he escaped.”

“We can’t rule out the possibility that the opponent was dizzy from being hit by that shovel.” Ye Muyu was more inclined to believe that the thief was familiar with the village. Perhaps he did it on purpose to cover something up.

However, she did not say the rest of her words because she believed that as long as the thief was sent to the government, Chu Heng would find out about this matter and investigate thoroughly.

Chu Xing touched his chin. “It seems so. That thief is running around like a headless fly.”

“It’s getting late, everyone should go back first. When we send the thief to the magistrate tomorrow, the magistrate will definitely be able to force the information out of his mouth. As long as there are no accomplices, we can rest assured. ”

“Right, everyone should be careful at home.”

“It’s about time to start farming. Even if it’s work. we have to keeD DeoDle at

home.”

Madam Liu stood up and reminded everyone.

Everyone stood up and said good bye to Ye Muyu before leaving.

Madam Liu called out to her two sons, “Chu Lin, Chu Cai, go to the neighbors nearby on behalf of your third brother and ask everyone to take care of Madam Ye and the two children.”

‘Mother, I’ve prepared a gift. Ten eggs and a bag of brown sugar. I wonder if it’s enough.” Ye Muyu went into the house and took out the gifts he had prepared.

Madam Liu was surprised that she could even think of this. She was even more satisfied and nodded.

‘You guys go ahead.”

“Okay, Mother.” Chu Lin and Chu Cai took the gifts and thanked the neighbors.

Ye Muyu wanted to give Madam Zhang and Madam Wang gifts as thanks, but Madam Liunoticed her thoughts and found her. She lowered her voice and reminded her, “You should thank neighbors because they’re all outsiders. If you don’t give them a thank-you gift, they might not be willing to help you in the future.”

“As for our own family, there’s no need to give it to them.”

“If you want to give any gifts, wait until the Dragon Boat Festival in May and give more gifts.”

“The appearance of a thief is a big deal for you, the clansmen, and even the entire village. You’re lucky this time that the thief didn’t come in. Otherwise, if something happened, I really don’t know how to explain it to Ah Heng..”
