Chapter 124: Bring Her Here
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He Family Village.
The entire village knew that Old He’s family had been visited by thieves. Most of the villagers were secretly delighted. It was good that they had been robbed. Let’s see how arrogant Wang Chunhua would be in the future.
The village chief even went over to greet them.
Because Old He and Wang Chunhua were still half-dead on the bed, He Fengnian and his brothers received He Yuan.
“What happened? Have you reported it to the officials?” He Yuan asked.
He Fengnian sighed and said, “We don’t know what happened either. Theives suddenly entered our house. This is the first time we’ve encountered it in so many years. We were completely caught off guard and couldn’t catch up even when we ran out. We went to report it to the officials and they asked us to come back and wait for the news!”
He Fengnian recalled that when he went to report to the officials, the other party’s perfunctory tone and high and mighty attitude made him a little unhappy.
However, he had no choice. He was just a commoner and did not even have the right to speak. He could only go home dejectedly and wait for news.
In fact, they knew very well that this matter had been left unsettled. No one would help them catch the thieves!
He Yuan patted He Fengnian’s shoulder and said, “It’s fine if you lost your money. I’m glad that you’re fine. I heard that not only was the silver of the family in the neighboring town stolen, but their entire family was also killed!” He Fengnian was speechless. If it was according to this, they should be glad?
Those silvers were their assets. If they lost their assets, wouldn’t that be equivalent to taking their lives?!
Now that Third Brother was in such a terrible state, it was really a little difficult to earn a sum of money every month in the future.
He Yuan saw that half of He Fengnian’s front tooth were missing and could not help but ask, “What happened to your tooth?”
Could it be that he was beaten up by a thief?
At the mention of this, He Fengnian’s face turned green. This half tooth was a great humiliation to him.
“I accidentally fell when I was chasing the thieves and broke my front tooth.”
He Yuan was speechless. He was really promising. He did not catch the thief but broke his teeth instead.
“I’ll go in and see your father.” After saying that, He Yuan entered the house and looked at Old He.
Old He lay on the bed with a lifeless expression. When he saw He Yuan, he had no expression on his face, as if he had instantly aged ten years.
“Father, the village chief is here,” He Fengnian reminded.
Old He turned to look at He Yuan and said weakly, “Brother, you’re here. My body is not good, so I can’t get up to greet you.”
He Yuan waved his hand and said, “It’s alright, take good care of yourself. I’m just here to see if there’s anything I can help with.”
“Sigh!” Old He sighed heavily.
Life was really terrible. Why didn’t she steal from someone else’s house but his house?
Could it be that they were easy to bully?
When he thought about how he was tied up and the banknotes were taken away from his eyes, Old He’s heart was filled with hatred!
He Yuan consoled him, “Take it easy!”
Old He pursed his lips and didn’t say anything else.
He Yuan said some pleasantries to Old Man He. He was the village chief, so he had to come over to greet them after such a big thing happened in the village.
Although he was kind in his words, he was already overjoyed in his heart.
Previously, Wang Chunhua had beaten Zhou Yu up. He still remembered it in his heart. He had been worrying about not having a chance to deal with Old He’s family. Now that their family had been robbed, he felt indescribably happy.
See! Evil people will be tortured by evil people.
He Yuan saw that they were almost done talking and said, “Don’t think too much about it. Life still has to go on. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.’ Old He said to He Fengnian with a bitter face, “Son, send the village chief off.”
If not for the fact that He Yuan was the village chief, he really did not want to bother with him now!
He Fengnian replied, “I understand, Father.”
He Yuan waved his hand and said, “Alright, we’re all family. There’s no need to be so polite.”
When He Yuan said that, He Fengnian and the others really didn’t send him off. They really didn’t have the mood to deal with these now.
As soon as He Yuan returned home, Zhou Yu asked, “How’s Old He’s family?”
He Yuan said, “How else could they be? The silver was stolen and the old couple are lying on the bed half-dead.”
Zhou Yu spat and said, “Serves them right.”
Wang Chunhua was usually smug and had no eyes for anybody. Now that thieves had broken into her house, no one in the village would sympathize with her.
He Yuan glanced at her and said, “Alright, keep the smile on your face away. Don’t let anyone see it. I’ll call the villagers over to talk later.”
Zhou Yu smiled and nodded. “Got it. Am I that kind of insensible person?”
Even if she wanted to laugh, she had to do it behind the back of others. She could not admit it even if anyone saw it.
He Yuan knocked on the gong and called the villagers over. Usually, when there was something important to discuss in the village, he would knock on the gong and call them over.
“Have you heard? Thieves entered Old He’s house and stole all his money.”
“Why haven’t I heard of it? I live beside them. At that time, there was a huge commotion! Wang Chunhua was about to cry to death.”
Someone gossiped, “I wonder how much money they stole.”
“Isn’t that obvious? Looking at Wang Chunhua, she probably lost alot. I went to take a look today. She’s still half-dead on the bed without any energy.”
“Can’t they defeat a few thieves with a few sons in their family? Were they really asleep like dead pigs?
“Who knows! Maybe they heard it and didn’t dare to say anything.” “Coward, if the thief enters my house, I’ll kill him with a hoe.” Other than Old He, everyone else was here.
He Yuan coughed twice and said, “Alright, everyone, quieten down. I’m sure you’ve heard about Old He’s family. Everyone, be careful at night in the future. Don’t sleep like dead pigs. If your family’s assets are stolen, don’t come crying to me.”
The people below who were watching the commotion said, “We’re not that cowardly. As long as they dare to come, I’ll slap them to death!”
“That’s right. I’ll kill them even if I have to risk my life. Are we men to be trifled with?”
He Yufeng sneered in his heart when he heard this news.
The group of people in the old residence were so ostentatious. It was only a matter of time before they were visited by thieves. He did not expect this day to come so quickly.
Chen Xiang brought the cooked food in. “It’s time to eat.”
After Su Li returned to her parents’ house, Chen Xiang really followed Su Li’s instructions and cooked for He Yufeng three meals a day.
However, the ingredients was prepared by Su Li. Su Li had also paid for Chen Xiang’s help in cooking. However, other than the two families, no one else knew about this, including Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu only thought that Chen Xiang had a softer personality and that Su Li had a good relationship with her, so she agreed to help.
He Yufeng nodded slightly at Chen Xiang. “Thank you, Sister. Just leave it here.”
Chen Xiang placed the food on the small table on He Yufeng’s bed and sighed. “I wonder when Su Li will be back..”
