As soon as Xu Qingzhi went downstairs, he heard Xu Fuqiang's shouting.
"Oh no, oh no."
Wang Yanmei was still cooking breakfast. When she heard the noise, she asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"
Zhou Zhou was eating a boiled egg in his mouth, and asked vaguely with a bulging mouth, "Uncle, what happened?"
Xu Fuqiang was panting, one of his shoes had fallen off, and he looked like he had just run back in a hurry. He slapped his thigh and said in a trembling voice, "There's been thieves in our fields!"
The spatula in Wang Yanmei's hand fell to the ground with a clang, she turned off the stove and ran out in a hurry.
"What? Were we robbed? We have surveillance cameras and fences installed at home."
Xu Fuqiang slapped the piece of paper in his hand on the table and said, "That thief is quite arrogant. Look, he even left a note."
Xu Qingzhi looked over and saw a paragraph of printed words on the paper.
——You work hard for half a year, and I work in a hurry for one night. In the future, you will still plant, and after you finish planting, I will steal.
Xu Fuqiang sat down on the stool and slapped his thigh uncomfortably. "All the mature Chinese cabbages in our field were stolen. Not a single one was left. The peppers and shallots were also uprooted. The thief was so hateful."
Xu Qingzhi looked at his father's dark face, frowning anxiously, and said to comfort him: "Dad, we have surveillance cameras at home, call the police and let them catch the thief."
Xu Fuqiang was even more upset when he heard about the surveillance video: "The thief cut all the wires of our surveillance video. Where can we watch the surveillance video? It's just a small matter of vegetables being stolen in the village. There is no evidence. The police can't do anything about it even if they want to."
There are people in the neighboring Bajia Village who grow pumpkins. Some of them were caught earlier, and their pumpkins are still inevitably stolen.
If a thief is caught, he will be asked to pay compensation. At worst, he will be jailed for a few days in serious cases.
Xu Fuqiang had been wondering why his vegetable garden had never been robbed. He came home the latest every day and would check on the vegetables early in the morning because he was worried about them. He didn't expect that he would be robbed today.
"Dad, the surveillance on my phone is not broken." Xu Qingzhi had an APP installed on his phone so he could check it at any time, and then he handed the phone over.
Xu Fuqiang took a look and found that there was really nothing wrong with the surveillance.
He went to the back mountain early in the morning and saw that the vegetables had been stolen and the surveillance wires had been cut. He panicked, thinking that the surveillance had malfunctioned.
Xu Fuqiang clenched his fists and said, "Call the police. We must call the police. Qingzhi, please watch the replay and see if you can see clearly who stole it."
Xu Qingzhi operated the surveillance camera in front of her parents, starting from yesterday evening when her father came back, fast forwarding from time to time.
It was not until two or three in the morning that a human figure appeared in the surveillance video.
The man cut a string, looked around furtively, and whistled twice.
Not long.
There were several more figures, all of them were dressed in black clothes and black pants, and it was obvious that they came prepared.
They had no idea that the surveillance camera was not only not broken, but under night vision, although the people were photographed in black and white, the footage was extremely high definition.
Even the sound of their voices could be heard clearly. These vegetable thieves were so arrogant. They came in a sneaky way, thinking that the surveillance was not working. Now they were chatting while stealing vegetables, saying that the vegetables tasted delicious when eaten raw.
The leader who led this incident urged them to act faster and stop talking.
After stealing the vegetables, one of them said smugly, "Li Xiong, next time there's such a good thing, call the brothers over. Two hundred yuan a night is really easy money. Fuqiang is just a fool anyway, hahahaha... If he dares to cause trouble to me, I'll make my mother lie down at her doorstep and won't leave."
The others laughed as well.
In fact, Xu Fuqiang recognized the first person as soon as he appeared. After hearing these words, he had a pretty good idea who was in charge.
"That jerk Li Xiong came to pick a fight on purpose a few times before, but I tolerated it all the time. Now he even stole our vegetables." Xu Fuqiang stood up suddenly and rushed over to pick up a hoe. "I'm going to his house to cause trouble for him."
An honest person rarely gets angry, but when he does, he is very scary.
Zhou Zhou also hurriedly followed, "Uncle, I'll go with you and beat that worthless bastard to death."
Wang Yanmei was afraid that they would act rashly, so she quickly stopped them, "What are you doing? If you go and beat someone up, we will be in the wrong."
"Dad, if you go looking for trouble, you will only alert the enemy. Let's call the police first." Xu Qing knew.
It was the first time she saw such anger on her father's face.
Everyone in the village thought that her father was a fool, a fool who would never get angry or get angry with others.
Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, Xu Qingzhi has seen her father suffer too many losses and be ridiculed in a sarcastic way for being incompetent.
Even though she was so young, she could understand it, not to mention her father. Xiao Qingzhi would grab her father's little finger and make a fuss about going home, not wanting to stay there.
The thing her father said most often was: It doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss, as long as you have money.
Xu Qingzhi knew all the thieves this time. They were second-rate people in the village. They didn't have anything to do normally. When they ran out of money, they would do odd jobs. When they earned money, they would spend it, and when they ran out of money, they would earn more.
Her father was also a laborer at the time and played with them for a while, but later, seeing that they were playing too much, he gradually distanced himself from them.
Many people have lived to his father's age and don't even have a wife or children.
Xu Qingzhi knew that her father must feel bad being treated like this by a group of people who were once his brothers.
But she couldn't always use the method of scaring people away.
It's time to teach these people a lesson.
