Su Ruobai pretended to pull at him a few times, threatening, "Let go, let go now, or I'll kill you!"

Xie Xiaohua was stunned; all she could do was clutch her handbag tightly.

These are things I smuggled from the supply and marketing cooperative today; how can they be stolen from here?

Su Ruobai increased her strength and pulled a few times, pretending that she didn't have enough strength and couldn't snatch it.

They had no choice but to give up on escaping.

As he ran, he threw down a threat: "You just wait!"

In the end, he could only run away in frustration.

And it's incredibly fast.

Before more people came out, Su Ruobai turned a corner, used the courtyard wall as cover, and scrambled onto the roof in a few steps.

He walked back and found a spot where he could see Xie Xiaohua, then entered the space.

While washing up and changing clothes, I watched Xie Xiaohua's frightened expression.

She was just trying to scare her.

This woman is deliberately targeting her, picking fights for no reason.

Although it couldn't cause her any real harm, it was still annoying!

Once is one thing, but to do it again? Do they think they're made of clay?

If she sees me again and is still acting like that, I'll really have to accept something as compensation.

This was just to scare her and give her a heads-up!

Su Ruobai was eating fruit and drinking tea.

Life was leisurely and carefree.

It took Xie Xiaohua a long time to react.

My handbag wasn't lost.

It's not lost!

She was terrified!

I hugged my handbag tightly to my chest, temporarily isolating myself from the world!

People around who heard about the robbery came out to help, some even carrying shovels and other tools!

He imagined encountering a robber and immediately shoveling him a shovel.

They will definitely become heroes who act bravely and righteously.

However, when they came out and saw that the person who had called for help was Xie Xiaohua, and that she was all alone, some people went back cursing.

Oh, so this person got robbed. Serves them right!

With that foul mouth of hers, she's bound to offend someone someday!

There were more than a dozen people who came out, and about ten who left.

The remaining few also wanted to leave.

But look at Xie Xiaohua, she looks completely terrified.

Ultimately, it's a matter of conscience.

No matter what, we're neighbors who see each other often.

"Xiaohua, are you alright?" An elderly woman wearing an old-fashioned jacket stepped forward and gently patted Xie Xiaohua's shoulder.

When Xie Xiaohua heard her words, she seemed to have just woken up.

I woke up suddenly.

He clung to the bag tightly.

"Ah! Someone's robbing me! They're trying to steal my bag! There's money in it, along with the scraps of cloth I took from the supply and marketing cooperative today, and..."

Startled, Xie Xiaohua told everyone everything.

"Hua, you're scared. Go home right now and don't go out at night for a while!"

The kind-hearted old lady interrupted Xie Xiaohua.

This child is really silly, why does he say everything out loud!

There are some things that can be said but not done!

Some things are better done than said!

This child must have been terrified to tell such a dangerous thing!

Although things are not as tense as they used to be, this kind of behavior that undermines socialism will still be criticized and denounced.

Someone chimed in, "Sister Hua, why don't you call the police?"

It wasn't even dark yet! How dare they rob someone in broad daylight? They're incredibly audacious! We had to call the police!

This person has a grudge against Xie Xiaohua.

It's not a big deal.

It's Xie Xiaohua, that woman. Every time she dumps dirty water, she dumps it right in front of his house!

I've told you so many times, but you just won't change.

They've all become enemies!

He helped someone who was being robbed, which is a matter of justice.

He even helped Xie Xiaohua, a person with no class!

But now that everything's alright, we need to settle the score properly.

How dare this person steal?

What do you mean by "following"?

That's stealing!

Xie Xiaohua agreed with the suggestion.

She had to call the police; she was terrified. Luckily, that brat ran fast enough, otherwise, Xie Xiaohua would never have let him get away with it.

Su Ruobai, who ran quite fast but didn't get far, watched the commotion while eating persimmon cakes.

She made this herself.

It's very sweet, but not the kind of sweetness that comes with added sugar.

It has a natural fruity sweetness.

She loves to eat, but unfortunately, there's no Coca-Cola these days, and she's afraid of getting kidney stones from persimmons.

I didn't dare eat too much.

Seeing that Xie Xiaohua had been taught a lesson, Su Ruobai was satisfied.

She didn't come out even after people went to call the police.

I found another dried strawberry and ate it slowly.

This was posted by her herself.

Eating only strawberries gets boring, let's try something different.

A short while later, someone else returned.

It seemed like I was just passing by, but I came back and forth several times.

Su Ruobai chuckled to herself.

They've been with me for so long, but I still don't know what they're supposed to do.

I slept soundly until midnight.

Only then did he set out to hurry home.

I thought I had gotten rid of him.

I was careless.

The bicycle was tripped by a rope that suddenly appeared halfway through the journey.

Su Ruobai used all her strength, but only managed to keep herself from falling.

Before he could even regain his footing, he was hit on the back of the head with a stick.

Su Ruobai, enduring the dizziness, turned around and saw Su Jiaqi's face.

Pointing his finger at her, he said unwillingly, "You, you, why..."

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Su Jiaqi looked at Su Ruobai lying on the ground, her heart filled with resentment.

He stepped forward and kicked Su Ruobai in the thigh.
