Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 358 is so scary (monthly ticket 2700 plus updates)

 Obviously, the thief has been driven away by it, and now he comes here to take credit.

Su Mulan felt relieved and asked Bai Shuiliu and the others to light all the oil lamps and candles. Then he opened the door of the main room and lit all the oil lamps in the yard, at the door of the kitchen... everywhere.

 In the courtyard, it suddenly seemed like daylight.

 Having light gives people confidence and courage.

Su Mulan led the four children to the yard and checked every room and corner of the yard. After making sure that no one was seen, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to feel at ease, Su Mulan picked up a lantern again, climbed up the wall, and looked out. She saw that there was no one at the street door anymore, and nothing was missing at home, so she was completely relieved.

“I guess the person has run away.” Su Mulan looked at the footprints left on the courtyard wall and said, “Looks like he jumped from the tree outside to the wall and then into the courtyard.”

There is a big tung tree by the courtyard wall in front of Su Mulan's house.

This tree, Tung Tree, has an impression in the memory of the original owner. It was originally a sapling. Because it was small, no one at home cared about it. The tung tree grew quickly and grew up in a year or two.

The tung trees provide shade and protect the yard from the sun in midsummer, so they were retained.

In modern times, Su Mulan grew up in a rural area. When building houses in the village, it was taboo to have trees in front of and behind the house. At that time, Su Mulan just thought that adults were too superstitious. Later, she learned that it was not superstition, but I was worried that a thief would follow the tree into the house.

 Now it seems that the experience passed down orally from generation to generation still has merit.

 “This tree needs to be cut down as soon as possible.” Su Mulan said.

"Fortunately, we have rhubarb today." Bai Shuiliu also breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the rhubarb at his feet, and smoothed a handful of the shiny cat hair, "otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

"Yeah, it's really scary." Bai Lixia also patted her chest, feeling very scared.

“They say we are not afraid of thieves stealing, but they are afraid of being missed. This thief failed this time and ran away. Will he come back again?” Bai Zhuye asked worriedly.

"Probably not. In two hours, it will be bright. We will be woken up again. We will definitely not be able to sleep. If we shout a few times, he may not be able to run away."

Su Mulan said, "Looking at this movement, I guess it's just one person, so he shouldn't be that bold."

"I think I should tell Uncle Li Zheng tomorrow. There is a thief in the village, so everyone needs to be careful." Bai Shuiliu suggested.

"Yeah." Bai Lixia also agreed, "Don't care if it's a thief from our village or from outside. Let's make some noise and let people know about it. We'll think about it in our hearts."

Those who are on the cusp of the storm will not dare to have bad thoughts again.

When it came to Su Mulan, she frowned and thought for a long time before she spoke, "Tomorrow I will go to your Uncle Zheng's house and talk about this matter, saying that our family was robbed tonight." , stole ten kilograms of rice from our rice vat, and you told others the same thing when you went out."

  Jumping in the yard in the middle of the night, quietly. If a thief comes to steal things, it will be easier to say, but if he has a bad intention...

 She is a widow, so her reputation can easily be smeared.

Even if you say that the other party is a thief who attempted to steal something, some people who are afraid of bringing chaos to the world will add more fuel and jealousy to say that it was an attempted theft.
