They stole everything—vegetables, fruits, corn, sweet potatoes—and even piles of straw.

Anyway, it won't leave empty-handed.

For example, the Cao family doesn't have any apricot trees, but every year during the peak apricot season, their yard is always full of dried apricots, and they sell several hundred kilograms of dried apricots every year. Just think about where they get them.

Moreover, they never raise chickens, but if you observe closely, you can often see them carrying a basket of chicken feathers and dumping them into the garbage pit. Where did those chickens come from?

Under the influence of Guai Guai Qiao Dan, the younger generation eagerly followed her teachings, each generation surpassing the previous one.

Some people will surely say, "Why can everyone tolerate this shameless old woman stealing like this, instead of turning her over to the police station?"

This is because the things she steals are never anything valuable, and most of the time she is not caught in the act.

If caught red-handed, she will cry desperately, looking pitiful, which will make others angry, but it will also be inconvenient to continue to be strict with her.

Gradually, everyone got used to it.

I despised her in my heart and cursed her when she deserved it, but objectively I also tolerated her.

All I can say is that the people here are sometimes savage, and sometimes they have a touch of warmth.

Perhaps people still remember Cao Daneng.

After all, he's an honest man, and he used to get along well with everyone.

It's just that he married a shameless wife.

Many things in this world seem illogical, yet they simply exist.

…

Wang Tianxiao knew that Guai Guai Qiaodan was like this, so he was prepared. He didn't say much, just threw Cao Shuang aside, suddenly lifted Guai Guai Qiaodan's sleeve, and went into the tofu shop.

Wang Dabao followed him inside.

Once you're inside, there's really no need to say anything.

The tofu soup in the pot was still steaming hot, leaving no place to hide.

The pots used for making tofu are very large, not the small pots used for cooking. So even if you suddenly need to clean up a whole pot of tofu, you can't clean it up very thoroughly.

Wang Tianxiao asked the chubby girl, Qiaodan, who followed him in, "Didn't Cao Shuang say you went to bed early? What is this? Is it tofu made by a ghost?"

Cao Shuang was a little embarrassed. He wasn't smart, but he wasn't stupid. He couldn't help but look at his mother.

Guai Guai Qiao Dan was a seasoned veteran. Seeing that things had been exposed, she wasn't too worried. She put her hands on her hips and sneered, "What, we're not allowed to make tofu in the middle of the night? We said we were going to bed because we didn't want you to come in. Is that a problem? Who does this, barging into someone's house in the middle of the night?"

"That makes sense, doesn't it? Then tell me, why did we come to your house in the middle of the night?" Wang Tianxiao wasn't annoyed. He was prepared tonight to see what this woman could do next.

It's like pent-up frustrations from past and present lives; tonight I'm going to put an end to them.

"I don't care why you're doing this. Uncle Dabao, what's wrong with you? I always thought you were an honest man. How come you're getting involved in this kind of thing? You even said you fell. Where did you fall? You're lying without even thinking. You're supposed to be the team leader. Can't you be more mindful of your position?"

Wang Dabao was an honest man, so he couldn't stand this guy's words and immediately felt a little embarrassed.

He had initially held the upper hand and the moral high ground, but now he was almost about to lose it.

He immediately turned his gaze to Wang Tianxiao.

Just like two armies clashing, Cao's general is Guai Guai Qiao Dan, while this side is Wang Tian Xiao.

Everyone else was their soldier, their appendage.

"You don't know why the captain came here, do you? Okay, I'll tell you now."

As Wang Tianxiao spoke, he went straight to the stove and pointed to the wood inside, saying, "Your stove is really high-tech. It doesn't even have a bellows. With such a deep firebox, where does the wind come from? How do you get your firewood burning?"

"this……"

Guai Guai Qiao Dan was stunned when she saw it.

They temporarily removed the blower, but did not put the bellows back on.

While a regular stove can be said to allow the wood to burn on its own, the stove used for making tofu is very deep. Without forced air to enter, there will be a severe lack of oxygen, making it impossible to ignite.

This is basic common sense, and Guai Guai Qiao Dan can't deny it.

She rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly, "What's wrong? If we can't burn it, we'll figure something out. It's none of your business. You can worry about your own things."

"Still trying to be stubborn, huh?"

Wang Tianxiao strode over and lifted a piece of plastic sheeting from the corner of the wall. "What's this? Guai Guai Qiao Dan, explain this to me and the captain!"

It turned out that behind the plastic sheet, there was a power line hanging down, and at the bottom of the power line was a blower.

…

"You can't possibly tell me that you connected this blower just for fun, and that you didn't actually steal electricity from our lines, can you?"

"No, we like it hanging like this..."

Guai Guai Qiao Dan remained stubborn and refused to back down.

Wang Tianxiao had no mood to continue arguing with this woman; trying to reason with her was simply a waste of time.

He cut to the chase: "Rui Qiaodan, you were thinking of having Cao Hong go up and pull down the overhead wire, right? Don't even think about it. We already checked it when we came down from up there, and we have people guarding it. As long as I pull up along this wire, I'm sure I can reach that wire."

When Guai Guai Qiao Dan heard Cao Hong mentioned, her face changed drastically, turning ashen.

"So, we don't want to waste any more time arguing with you; we just want to solve the problem."
