Early the next morning, after breakfast, Li Mo sent the two thieves to Village Chief Wu.

These two people are habitual criminals in the village. They often steal things from other people's homes, and sometimes the villagers can't do anything about them.

After Li Mo handed the two to the village chief, he said, "Village chief, I was hired by He Xiucai to help look after the two elderly people. These two thieves have sneaked into He Xiucai's house. What do you think we should do?"

Village Chief Wu glanced at the two people and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Village chief Wu has become numb now. The village is extremely poor and there are so many troubles. His current attitude is to let these people do whatever they want and listen to whoever has the stronger fist.

"Mr. He said that he can give it a detour the first time because they are from the same village, but if someone comes to steal again next time, don't blame him for reporting to the government. I believe the county magistrate will handle the matter impartially." Li Mo said indifferently to Village Chief Wu.

Village Chief Wu nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to report it to the authorities, go ahead!"

Every year when the village pays grain tax, Wujia Village is always at the bottom of the list. He has lost people for so many years, is he still afraid of reporting to the police and losing people again?

After that, Village Chief Wu said to the crowd, "Our village is like this anyway. Don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with in the future. Otherwise, if you get beaten up or sent to the authorities, I won't be able to control you.

Our village is extremely poor. Instead of wasting time on creating trouble, you should try to find ways to make some money and improve your living standards."

The crowd watching was silent. Making money? How could it be so easy? Besides digging up the few acres of land at home, how else could they make money?

They are not like those in Shenjia Village, who can make money by making fruit wine. If they go to the town to do odd jobs, it depends on whether they are wanted. Even if they are wanted, there are so many people waiting to work. If you don't have any connections, why should they hire you?

Village Chief Wu didn't care when he saw that no one paid any attention to him. He then turned to Wu Fugui and Wu Mazi and said, "You two too, stop doing these sneaky things in the future. If you run into a tough guy in the future, no one can protect you.

Besides, you all know how powerful that young man Shen is. Why did you choose to rob his house when you could have robbed anyone else? Be careful that he will come back to settle the score with you."

The two men didn't care at all after hearing this. They didn't steal anything anyway, so even if the guy knew about it, it wouldn't do anything.

Seeing that they showed no remorse, Village Chief Wu was too lazy to care about them and just waved his hand to let them go.

Seeing that everything was discussed, Li Mo went straight back to the He family.

When Grandma He saw him come back, she asked, "How is it?"

Li Mo explained the situation briefly, and then said, "Grandma, I'm going to town."

Grandma He knew that he was going to meet He Jinshu, so she nodded and agreed.

In the town, Chen Zhen was making lunch when he heard a knock on the door. After opening the door, he saw a man about the same height as him, and asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm He Jinshu's friend." Li Mo said a little stiffly when he saw Chen Chen.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen looked at him strangely and said, "Ashu's friend? I haven't seen you before."

After hearing this, Li Mo said, "I know you. Jinshu mentioned you to me. Are you Brother Zhen?"

Chen Chen did not answer this question, but asked: "What are you doing here?"

"I came here to look for Jinshu. Yesterday he was afraid that there would be thieves in the house, so he asked me to live in Wujia Village. Now that the matter has been resolved, I came here to tell him."

"What? There was a thief in the house? Are grandpa and grandma okay?" Chen Chen asked loudly.

Li Mo was startled by his voice, but after coming to his senses, he quickly comforted him, "Yes, but I've already solved it."

"How did you solve it?"

Li Mo told Chen Chen the method that He Jinshu had told him.

"You just let those two little thieves go like that?" Chen Chen asked in disbelief.

"Yes, is there anything wrong?" Li Mo asked in confusion. Jinshu asked him to do this.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen said to him with a look of dismay, "You're letting them off too easy. You'll have to give them a beating first."

Li Mo was a little confused when he heard this. What's going on? Isn't this the solution you and your husband agreed on?

Then he changed his mind and wondered if Jinshu hadn't told Chen Zhen about this?

Seeing that Li Mo didn't say anything, Chen Zhen said to him, "Wait here for a while."

Then he turned back to the room, brought out a stool, and walked to the door and said to Li Mo: "I'm going to cook now. Ah Shu will be back for dinner soon. You sit at the door and wait for him."

Li Mo nodded in confusion, then took the chair and sat at the door. After sitting down, he remembered, "No, why should I sit at the door? Can't I go in and sit?"

But when he wanted to ask Chen Zhen, Chen Zhen had already gone back to the kitchen to cook.

Li Mo felt very uncomfortable sitting at the door. There were many people living in this alley, and people were coming and going. It was too embarrassing to see him moving a stool and sitting at the door like a door god.

But Chen Zhen was alone at home, so he couldn't just go in, so he stood up and walked around the alley.

At the entrance of the alley where Chen Chen rented the house, there was a main road on one side and a small square on the other side. There was a large well there. Many people usually came here to fetch water or wash clothes in the open space next to it.

After Chen Zhen finished cooking, he went out and saw Li Mo wandering in the alley.

So he said to Li Mo: "Come on, come with me to pick up Ah Shu."
