Chapter 172 Liu Zhaodi Steals Meat (1)

He remembered that when they went out, the gate was locked. In fact, it was not locked normally, but now everyone in the team was working in the fields, and a stranger in the village might not be seen, so they would usually lock the door, and the Ruan family also locked it.

But now, the door was hanging, but the lock was open!

Could a thief have come in?

Ruan Chi put the teapot in his hand against the corner of the wall, pulled out a larger wooden stick from the pile of firewood beside the wall, and pushed Ruan Jiaojiao behind him: "Sister, you stand outside and don't come in. When your brother comes in later, if you hear him shouting to run, run quickly! Don't come in, okay? Go back to the fields and call grandma and the others!"

Seeing his serious expression, Ruan Jiaojiao also became nervous. She grabbed his sleeve and nodded, but after nodding, she was still worried: "Brother, why don't we go call grandma." She was afraid that his small body could not defeat the thief.

"No, that won't work. What if the thief runs away?" Ruan Chi said, comforting her: "Don't worry, I have a stick in my hand. This thief may not be able to defeat me. Just remember to run away and don't come in, understand!"

"Okay!" Ruan Jiaojiao nodded heavily again.

Ruan Chi then held the stick in his hand, carefully pushed open the door, and tiptoed to carefully look inside.

After entering the yard, he raised the stick to the right side of his face, first looked at his own door, and found that it was open. He frowned and wanted to go in first, but heard a sound from his uncle's house opposite.

Could it be that the thief saw that there was nothing to steal in his house, so he went to his uncle's house again?

Ruan Chi retracted his foot that was about to step towards his own door and walked towards his uncle's house.

As expected, the closer they got, the more obvious the sound from inside became.

Ruan Jiaojiao stood at the door, leaning forward to look inside, breathing very softly, fearing that she would accidentally disturb the people inside.

She watched Ruan Chi move towards her home little by little, and wanted to follow him in, but she was afraid that if she went in, she would drag her brother down, so she could only wait outside anxiously, watching Ruan Chi enter the main hall and then walk back in through the main hall door...

Ruan Chi held the wooden stick and seemed to be unafraid, but in fact his heartbeat was faster than anyone else's, almost jumping out of his throat.

He heard the sound coming from the kitchen. He walked to the kitchen door, raised a wooden stick, and shouted, "Who is that thief? Get out of here!"

In the kitchen, Liu Zhaodi, who was holding a knife and cutting the bacon hanging above the stove, was already nervous. When she heard the sound, she was so scared that she almost lost her breath.

The hand holding the knife trembled and almost cut her hand.

She turned around and saw her son standing at the door with a stick in his hand, staring at her in shock.

Ruan Chi never thought that the person who broke into the house while their family was out planting rice would be his mother Liu Zhaodi.

Liu Zhaodi was still very scared, but when she saw that the person standing at the door was her son, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She retracted her arm, hid her slender hands behind her back, and looked at Ruan Chi in a flattering manner: "Chizi, weren't you working in the fields? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Ruan Chi stared at her intently, ignoring her flattering smile.

He never disliked his mother before, he just disliked his behavior of giving to his grandmother without any bottom line. He didn't have any disgust towards this mother, but last time, she slapped him without asking for the reason.
