Chapter 50 Encountering a Thief

Mu Jingheng's good mood was ruined by those two ugly people, and he felt very uncomfortable. He squeezed in the crowd and hadn't walked more than a few steps when he suddenly felt a pain in his hand. He thought it was because the bamboo basket carried by the person passing by had slipped on his wrist, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

Old Xu was small but agile, and when he saw Mulberry not far away, he happily pulled Mu Jingheng forward, shouting, "Make way, make way! Please make way, everyone. My brother is not in good health and he might faint if he gets pushed."

To be honest, Xu Laosan's words were really effective. The previously crowded road ahead became much less congested. However, many people couldn't help but cast pitying glances at Mu Jingheng.

"This man looks tall and strong, but I didn't expect him to be so weak."

"Whether someone is impotent or not has nothing to do with their appearance. Have you forgotten Old Wang's eldest son-in-law? He's as strong as an ox. If Old Wang's wife hadn't let it slip, who would have known he's impotent?"

"Yes! How could such a strong man end up like this? Poor Wang's eldest daughter, what will become of her now!"

...

Mu Jingheng was completely confused. How could he be so weak?

So what if he's impotent? How did it become that he can't have sex?

Looking at Xu Laosan's smug smile, did he realize that after being told that, he was no longer a man in front of others?

Mu Jingheng got angry. He said he could say whatever he wanted about him, but he couldn't say that he wasn't a man. He still wanted to marry his sister Xin Ning.

Mu Jingheng grabbed Xu Laosan, who was weaving freely through the crowd like a water snake, and said earnestly, "Little brother, take it easy. Don't forget you just came out of the hospital two days ago. The doctor said your heart can't take any more stress."

Hearing Mu Jingheng say this, those who heard it looked at them with even more pity.

What kind of family raised these children? The older one is too weak to be a man, and the younger one has a heart condition; they might just die. Poor thing!

"Chairman Mao said that health is the foundation of revolution, so having good health is extremely important."

"Isn't that right? It should have been a happy occasion to have two sons at home, but who knew they would both be useless?"

Finally, it's not crowded anymore!

Chen Jianguo was completely baffled by the two's antics. He couldn't understand whether Mu Jingheng was a man or not, but when had his boss ever been to the hospital? Did his boss have a heart condition?

Xu Laosan knew that his use of Mu Jingheng as a pawn had displeased him, but those people weren't saying what he really meant, so he wasn't angry when Mu Jingheng teased him back.

Just as Xu Laosan was gloating, he suddenly noticed that Mu Jingheng's wrist was bleeding.

Xu Laosan: "Brother, why is your wrist bleeding?"

Mu Jingheng raised his hand and looked at it. There was nothing he didn't understand. It seemed that the thief had been watching him for a long time. Otherwise, how could anyone know that his watch was hidden so well by his sleeve?

To be honest, this was all thanks to Xu Laosan's shout as soon as he got off the oxcart. Look, they've been watching them for a long time now.

The thief hadn't had a chance to steal anything until the three boys went to meet up with their families. He thought he'd missed his chance, but then the three boys came back to buy more things. He had no choice but to seize the opportunity.

Mu Jingheng looked gloomy as he wiped his bleeding wrist with a handkerchief. He was lucky that his artery hadn't been severed, otherwise he might be lying in bed right now.

However, the watch still needs to be found; it was a gift from his grandfather on his eighteenth birthday.

Xu Laosan was also clever. At first, he really didn't think about the watch, but he understood when Mu Jingheng changed his expression and wiped his wrist.

Xu Laosan: "Brother, let's find it!"

Mu Jingheng lowered her head and whispered to Chen Jianguo, "Jianguo, go find Xin'er and tell her to go to the police station to report that there is a thief in the market, my watch has been stolen, and we are chasing the thief."

Upon hearing that there was a thief, Chen Jianguo looked around in fright. Xu Laosan, exasperated, smacked him on the head and said, "Hurry up, don't hold us back."

Chen Jianguo didn't know where he got the strength, but he squeezed into the crowd in a flash.

Xu Laosan and Mu Jingheng knew that thieves liked to go to crowded places. They whispered to each other for a while and then went their separate ways to the crowded areas. In fact, they knew that they would definitely not find anything if they tried to look like this, but they were both bold. How would they know if they didn't try?

Besides, there are many people in the market. They don't believe that this thief is not a repeat offender. They'll be very proud of him for stealing from everyone today.

It's good to be proud, because pride can lead to arrogance.

Mu Jingheng suddenly shouted, "Stop thief!"

Just as Mu Jingheng finished shouting, Xu Laosan shouted from another direction, "Stop thief!"

The entire market seemed to be paused suddenly. Everyone looked at the person who had spoken. But it only lasted a few seconds. Many people unconsciously reached for their hiding places for money and tickets, while a few people inappropriately tried to squeeze out, and before they squeezed out, they turned back and glared fiercely at the person who had spoken.

Mu Jingheng and Xu Laosan didn't expect the thieves to be a gang, but the two bold ones didn't back down and chased after them.

Seeing Mu Jingheng and Xu Laosan swiftly chasing after the thief, the two men, who had heard they were in poor health, were dumbfounded. Weren't they said that those with weak bodies couldn't be men? Weren't they said that their hearts couldn't withstand any more stress? Would they even survive such strenuous exercise?

Xu Xinning's face turned green when she heard Chen Jianguo's words. If she still didn't know what these two idiots were up to, she would really be a fool.

Xu Xinning said to Grandma Xu and Wang Ying, "Grandma, Auntie, you should go to the police station to report the theft right away. A thief in the market stole Mu Jingheng's watch, and they are chasing the thief right now."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu became anxious: "Yingzi, hurry, hurry! Thieves these days are reckless. What if Xiaoheng and Lao San get hurt?"

Wang Ying: "Jianguo, you stand here and watch the things, don't wander off, okay?"

Chen Jianguo actually wanted to catch the thief too. He felt he had the ability to help their boss, but reality didn't allow it. If he said that now, his mother would definitely give him two big laughs.

The younger sister-in-law was very worried when she heard that Xu Laosan and his family had encountered a thief. She genuinely liked Mu Jingheng and was afraid that he would be bullied by a vicious thief.

Sister-in-law: "Auntie, let's go help too."

Xu Xiaogu's mother-in-law was secretly gloating. "So you look down on my Juanzi, it's good that the thief taught you a lesson. Otherwise, how will you know how treacherous the world is and how hard life is?"

Xu Xinning's eyes scanned all the exits like radar; she knew that if the thief was being chased, he would definitely go this way.

Sure enough, a few people hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and ran in one direction.

Xu Xinning ignored the mother and daughter standing there and quickly chased after them.

At the same time, Mu Jingheng and Xu Laosan also emerged from the crowd.
