With so much money at home, everyone was on edge, and before going to bed, they all checked all the doors and windows.

Even though Grandma He changed the locks, she was still worried and moved a table and a writing desk over to block the door.

At first, it was agreed that everyone would take turns sleeping, with so-and-so sleeping in the first half of the night and so-and-so sleeping in the second half.

By 11 p.m., everyone except He Wenlin and Grandma He was sleeping soundly.

At this time, thieves were rampant, stealing even the pigs in the pigsty, let alone money, so one had to be very careful.

In the middle of the night, He Wenlin couldn't stay awake any longer and started having dreams.

She dreamt that someone was pushing open the door, and someone was sawing at the window, and then a thief came in.

After the thief broke in, he stole all her money, her mobile phone, and all her goods. He even said he would sell her to the mountains. He Wenlin then tried to escape using her light-footed skills, but found that she couldn't fly no matter how hard she tried.

"Ahem!" Old Mrs. He's cough startled He Wenlin awake.

The dream is shattered.

He Wenlin glanced at her phone; it wasn't even four o'clock yet.

"Grandma, didn't you sleep all night?" He Wenlin shared a bed with Grandma He.

"I dozed off for a bit, but didn't sleep soundly. You go to sleep, you have to get up to set up your stall later. I can rest at home during the day."

He Wenlin drifted off to sleep again, but woke up before seven the next morning. Grandma He had already prepared breakfast.

The first thing He Wenlin did after getting up was to go to the toilet, since outhouses in rural areas were usually outdoors at that time.

He Wenlin's outhouse was located behind the house, diagonally opposite the window.

When He Wenlin came out of the outhouse, she was horrified to find several cigarette butts under the window!

And it was a brand new cigarette butt!

The person who smokes at her house hasn't come back yet, and there's a vegetable garden behind her house, so it's impossible for the neighbors to come here.

Where did this cigarette butt come from? Could it be that a thief really came here?

He Wenlin looked up and, to her surprise, there were saw marks on the window!

Could last night's dream be a warning?

The window of He Wenlin's house has a wooden stick stuck in the middle. If it were sawed open, someone could really get in.

He Wenlin was on high alert and quickly informed her family, telling them to be careful.

"This is terrifying, oh my god! Linlin, let's not come back, let's just stay in the county town," Luo Yumei said.

“They must have come last night. I heard some noise, and then I coughed once, and they must have left,” said Grandma He.

"Bastards! You dare to come here today? I'll teach you a lesson!" the second brother said angrily.

“If someone comes to steal, it’s likely a gang, and they might even have knives. You’re just a kid, don’t go looking for trouble,” He Wenlin said. “I’ll call my uncle and ask him to come over to sleep. It’s almost Chinese New Year, and his school is on holiday. I’ll bring him some cigarettes then.”

There are many people in the family, but the young ones are too young and the old ones are too old to keep order!

Uncle-in-law is a really good man; at least He Wenlin has never met a better son-in-law.

However, he was quite strict with He Wenlin, so I was a little afraid of him when I was a child.

He Wenlin picked up the phone and dialed his uncle Luo Hu's number. Then he handed the phone to his grandmother. After his grandmother spoke to him on the phone, he agreed without saying a word.

He Wenlin said to him, "Uncle, it's me, Linlin. Please come to the county town's vegetable market to pick us up this afternoon, and then we'll go back to the village together. I feel like I'm being watched after I set up my stall yesterday. It would be best if you could arrange for a van to come."

"Your parents are really carefree, letting you kids set up stalls. They haven't made any money and they're worried sick every day. Alright, I'll pick you up this afternoon. I'll arrange a car."

"Thank you, Uncle. I'll buy you some Furongwang cigarettes."

At 7:20, He Wenlin and the others carried the goods and prepared to set off.

He Na hadn't gotten up yet, so He Wenlin stopped waiting for her.

In business, every second counts; who has time to wait for her?

When they arrived in the county town, there weren't many people around yet, and the banks hadn't opened. He Wenlin helped everyone set up their stall.

At 8:30, He Wenlin went to the bank and deposited the money into her card.

A total of 12,300 yuan was deposited, which is equivalent to the turnover.

He Wenlin felt at ease only after depositing the money in the bank.

He Wenlin didn't change locations, but after yesterday's incident of being followed and the thief sawing through the window, everyone was more cautious today.

Business remains booming as always.

When there were fewer people at lunchtime, He Wenlin bought everyone some steamed buns and Wahaha snacks.

He Wenlin took out most of the money from their bags, leaving only a small amount in each person's bag, and then went to the bank so she could deposit the money promptly that day.

This place is crowded with pedestrians, so there won't be any motorcycle gangs. Because it's too crowded, it's not conducive to escaping. Therefore, He Wenlin is not afraid of having her bag snatched, but she is afraid of pickpockets.

"Little sister."

Suddenly, a man darted out and approached He Wenlin.

"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!" He Wenlin shouted as she ran.

The man who was about to ask for directions: "..."

He Wenlin ran into the bank in one breath.

"Deposit... deposit money." He Wenlin unbuttoned her ill-fitting long coat, took out her waist bag, and took out all the money.

A whole bunch of them, scattered here and there.

He Wenlin calculated the amount with the bank clerk twice, and the final amount was exactly five thousand one hundred and thirty-one yuan!

"Deposit everything into this card."

He Wenlin felt relieved after depositing the money into the bank. She didn't plan to deposit the remaining amount from the next few hours of business that day, because the bank would be closed by the time they finished their business.

There are so many scattered pieces; it will take quite a while to count them.

After leaving the bank, He Wenlin rejoined the sales team.

My uncle arrived in his van shortly before 5 p.m.

Today there was a car available, so He Wenlin closed her stall a little later, at six o'clock.

Today's merchandise, except for tank tops and outerwear for the elderly, sold out. Today's income should be about the same as yesterday's.

The stool and bed board were still placed in Luo Yumei's neighbor's big shop, and this time He Wenlin gave him a pack of Furongwang cigarettes.

He Wenlin bought two packs of Furongwang cigarettes as a gift for her uncle.

"You've improved a lot in the six months you've been away. You'll hide whenever you see me from now on," Luo Hu joked as he received a cigarette.

“I used to think you were strict, but now that I’m older, I know you’re doing it for our own good.”

"Good to know," Luo Hu said. "I heard from your dad that you're planning to continue studying next year?"

"Yeah, I want to experience university life."

"Then what about your business? Your dad runs the fast food restaurant, and your mom runs the food factory?"

"The fast food restaurant isn't big, so there's no problem. I'll hire someone to manage the food factory; my mom can't handle it."

Aunt He is an honest and hardworking person. She's okay at managing a few people, but not at managing a factory.

Moreover, she's not good at socializing; she's going to study, and the factory will definitely need to hire a factory manager then.
