Chapter 54
In such a warm and harmonious atmosphere, Xichun seemed a little drowsy, but he didn't know that there was a sudden commotion outside.

"Happy spring, happy spring, are you at home?" Aunt He's voice came from outside the door. Her sister-in-law arrived at home today, so she did not leave home.

"Aunt He, what's the matter? Why are you so panicked?" Xichun asked confused.

"Oh, nothing happened to you, are you all fine?" Aunt He first checked her situation, and found that it didn't seem like something was wrong, then continued: "You don't know, many people in our village who are visiting relatives are... It was stolen. When we heard people say it, we wanted to come over quickly and see if you were okay."

"What? You dare to steal something in broad daylight. Have you been caught? Where are you from?"

Xichun was also a little surprised. Not every household in the village had gone out. Why would anyone dare to steal things?

"I'm just worried because I haven't been caught. I don't know where it came from. Everyone said it might be someone from the village. Otherwise, how could someone from another village know what's going on in the village without being discovered? Hey, anyway, you guys But be careful.”

After Aunt He left, Xichun remembered that Aunt Zhang's family was not at home, and he didn't know if her home had been robbed, so it would be better to go and have a look.

Fortunately, they all had the habit of locking their doors. Xichun checked and found that no one had gone in, so he was relieved.

"Xichun, who do you think did this? In our village, you were only stolen last year, but those were from other villages. I don't think it was those people. I wonder if it was the old Chen family. of?"

Wang thought of Chen Lizhong's appearance and felt very suspicious.

"I also think it's possible, but we can't talk about this without conclusive evidence, otherwise Mrs. Chen is afraid that she won't let it go. Anyway, let's be careful." Xichun also had some doubts in his heart, but no evidence was found. Don't talk nonsense.

"Well, I know, the two of us are here to talk about how the old Chen family is getting more and more disgraceful. Then Chen Lizhong used to be the eldest grandson, and your grandparents doted on him. Now he really dotes on him. Enemies are here, and they deserve what they deserve.”

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Mom, look at Xiaofeng, he's already asleep. Just rest here. Xiaofeng and his grandma are at home anyway, so don't worry."

"Okay, then I'll go to sleep first. If anything happens, just call me."

"to make."

Xichun saw that both of them were asleep, so he simply walked to the yard and checked all the thorns arranged around him. If anyone dared to jump from the corner, the soles of his feet would bleed profusely, and he locked all the rooms. With the door open, you can also watch the door of Aunt Zhang's house.

In the evening, almost all the people who went out in the village came back. They heard that there was a thief, so they didn't care about it. When they got home, they found that all the hidden things had been messed up, and all the money hidden by others had been stolen. Turned away.

"Oh, what evil has been done? My family's money has been stolen. It's so miserable. What can I do? Who stole it? Let me know. Keep it and let him shed a layer of skin. !”

"Village Chief, who did this? You must find out and get my money back. He even took two eggs from my old hen. This man who killed a thousand swords, let me know. Who is it? I have to kill him!"

This scene was played out in many families in the village. Everyone was beating their feet and chests, hoping to catch this person and give him a good beating.

"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely investigate and find out who did it." The village chief also had a headache, because there were people in his family, otherwise they would be stolen, but now there are so many people in the village. A theft case, don't even think about living a peaceful life this year. "Aunt Zhang, you're back. Let's see if your home has been robbed?" After Wang returned home, Xichun didn't close the door and kept staring outside. When she saw Aunt Zhang and the others coming back, she hurried over and said.

"We also heard about this and ran back from the entrance of the village." Aunt Zhang ran out of breath, fearing that all the money needed to buy Qiangzi's wife would be stolen.

The two brothers Qiangzi and Taozi also came back running. Both of them made money.

"Huh, fortunately, thanks to Xichun's help, our home was not stolen. Otherwise, Qiangzi's wife would have been lost." Aunt Zhang said happily.

"Aunt Zhang, look at what you said, is Brother Qiangzi's marriage settled?" Xichun knew that the purpose of their visit today was to see each other, and after hearing this, he knew there was a way.

"Haha, yes, I think after the Chinese New Year, you can find a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. That girl is a nice person. Her parents are both good friends. Her mother and I are from the same village. Everyone knows everything about it. I The big stone in my heart finally fell."

Mentioning this, Aunt Zhang's face looked much better, and she also shared the scene where Qiangzi went to see her today.

"I heard that many homes in the village were robbed, and I don't know who it was. Everyone said they didn't see anyone from other villages coming, but someone saw the eldest son of the old Chen family passing by the door of those homes."

After Uncle Zhang made sure that everything was fine at home, he went to the village to inquire about the news.

"Did he steal it?" Aunt Zhang also felt that he was more likely.

"No one was found, and no one saw him take anything with their own eyes. Everyone ran to Old Chen's house. Old Mrs. Chen said that they bullied their orphans and widowed mothers, and cursed there. The village chief said that they had to wait until they found the person. To be sure, each family should go back first to see what was stolen, and write it down. If it doesn't work, we can only report it to the official. You all should be more alert these days, because you are afraid that the thief will come late at night."

"You need to be more careful, Xichun. I'm going to sleep at your house these days. I'm really worried about you being alone. If it's really that Chen Lizhong, I'm afraid he will come to trouble you. That whole family is full of evil people. Who knows what they will do."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang. We really need to be on guard. He dares to steal in broad daylight. I'm afraid it will be easier to commit crimes at night. Uncle Zhang, has the village chief arranged for someone to keep a vigil?"

"It's been arranged that as long as there are adult men in the house, they will keep vigil. You don't have to. Just stay awake and have a good rest."

"Sure, we can't live peacefully during the New Year. Hey, I really hope I can have a stable New Year." Xichun also shook his head. At this moment, everyone in the village was in danger, and their New Year mood was gone.

After a while, Aunt He also came over. Their home had not been robbed, but she was also worried about Xi Chun's situation, so she came to ask.

"I see, [-]% of the people in the village think it was Lao Chen's family who did it, but there is no evidence, otherwise the door of their house will be trampled to pieces." Aunt He shared the information she went to inquire about.

"No, think about it. How can a person who gambles have any conscience? As long as he has money and continues to gamble, there is no way he can stop."

Fortunately, the night was uneventful and no one was robbed. However, Chen Lizhong, who everyone guessed, did not come back overnight, which heightened everyone's doubts about him.
