While tidying up the scattered items on the ground, Jiang Suisui pondered how to deal with the despicable thief before her. "Just kill him!" The thought had barely crossed her mind when she quickly shook her head, rejecting it. "No, no, I'm a successor of socialism! I always remember the Eight Honors and Eight Shames of our motherland. How can I just kill someone like that? That's a crime! But, if I let him go so easily, wouldn't that be letting him off too easily?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Suisui was furious. She strode over to the thief and ruthlessly searched him from head to toe. To her great disappointment, she found only a pitiful 32 cents. "What a penniless wretch!" Jiang Suisui cursed angrily, kicking the thief several times to vent her anger.
After venting her anger, Jiang Suisui calmed down and decided to tie the thief up securely first. She found a thick, sturdy rope and skillfully and quickly bound the thief's hands and feet tightly to prevent him from escaping. Next, to prevent the thief from shouting and causing unnecessary trouble, Jiang Suisui found a rag and stuffed it into his mouth. Finally, she didn't forget to blindfold him with a black cloth, completely rendering him incapable of resisting or calling for help.
Having done all that, Jiang Suisui breathed a slight sigh of relief. But she didn't stop there. Instead, she turned and went into the room to meticulously dress herself up. She took out her makeup kit and skillfully employed one of Asia's four great sorceries—makeup. In no time, her originally delicate features were completely unrecognizable. Not only that, Jiang Suisui also deliberately wore a long wig, cleverly altering her hairstyle; and applied dark foundation to her hands, neck, and other easily revealing areas, making her look drastically different from before.
To further disguise herself, Jiang Suisui changed into a black outfit, then sat down at a sewing machine and sewed a black hood for herself. Once everything was ready, she approached the thief again, and without hesitation, picked up a pair of scissors and shaved his head completely bald. Afterward, Jiang Suisui found a bottle of bright red paint and neatly wrote four large characters on the thief's head: "I am a hooligan."
As for the thief's appearance, Jiang Suisui had already seen it clearly, but strangely, no matter how hard she searched her memory, she couldn't find any related impressions. It was as if this person had suddenly sprung out of a crack in the rock...
After stuffing the thief into a sack, which was then placed into a basket on her back, Jiang Suisui couldn't help but sigh once again, "The quality of things from this era was really good. No wonder Grandpa said that back then, one item could last a lifetime."
Jiang Suisui carried a basket on her back and walked towards the Revolutionary Committee. She didn't open the main gate of the courtyard house; instead, she crawled out through a dog hole.
Along the way, Jiang Suisui walked carefully, observing her surroundings as she went, and cleaning up any traces on the road. After going around several intersections, Jiang Suisui finally arrived at the Revolutionary Committee.
After checking that no one was around, Jiang Suisui deftly released him from the sack and tied him to the stone lion at the entrance of the Revolutionary Committee with a rope.
After repeatedly confirming that he wouldn't wake up and escape, Jiang Suisui then prepared to strip the thief of his shirt, but her hands were tied with hemp rope, and she couldn't budge it no matter how many times she pulled. So Jiang Suisui simply took out the scissors, cut a few times up and down, pulled out the clothes, and put them in the basket on her back.
Jiang Suisui wanted to strip the thief's pants off as well, but after trying it, she still didn't have the courage. "Forget it, being shirtless like this should be enough to get me charged with indecent assault."
On her way home, Jiang Suisui took a long detour, and when she passed a small grove of trees, she threw the man's shirt into it.
Like a nimble cat, Jiang Suisui tiptoed carefully back to the courtyard house. She gently closed the gate, afraid of making a sound that might wake her sleeping neighbors. Inside, Jiang Suisui quickly went to her dressing table, opened a drawer, took out makeup remover, and carefully removed the meticulously applied makeup from her face, hands, and neck. Afterward, she changed into a loose, comfortable set of pajamas, as if shedding the day's fatigue and pretense.
After changing her clothes, Jiang Suisui didn't rest immediately. Instead, she carefully checked all the switches in the room to make sure they were turned off properly. Only after confirming that everything was in order did she turn off the light and climb into bed to sleep. However, just as she was drifting off to sleep, a series of rapid ringing sounds suddenly woke her up.
Jiang Suisui groggily reached for the alarm clock on the bedside table, struggled to open her eyes, and saw that the hour hand was already pointing to 5:10! "Oh dear, it's time already, I need to get ready quickly," she muttered, forcing herself to sit up and throwing on a coat. Then, she went to the window, pulled back the curtains, and the faint but hopeful morning light instantly flooded the room. The sky was already slightly white, and a bright red sun was slowly rising from the distant east, bringing light and warmth to the world for a new day.
Jiang Suisui, with no time to admire the beautiful sunrise, turned and busied herself. First, she quickly went around the house, skillfully retrieving the previously installed electric grid and carefully storing it in her personal space. After finishing this, she hurried to the kitchen, quickly washed up, and then cooked herself a pot of steaming rice porridge. While waiting for the porridge to cook, she also boiled two fragrant eggs.
Soon the porridge was ready. Jiang Suisui ladled out a bowl, added the two freshly boiled eggs, and ate it with relish. After filling her stomach, she rested for a while, then sat on the sofa and dozed off for a bit. After all, there were still many things waiting for her to do.
After a short rest, Jiang Suisui stood up again, went to the yard, and used a water pump to fill the water tank and basin with clean water.
