With all the witnesses and evidence, how could they possibly listen to his explanation?
Seeing that they were about to attack Lu Zhicai, Lu Mianmian quickly rushed forward to stop them.
"Stop it! Don't hurt my dad! He really didn't dig up your things. He really just wanted to dig out our things!"
"You're talking louder than you can sing. Your shovel is still on our property. Do you think we'll believe you just because you talk?"
The two sons of the Liu family did not believe her words at all and just thought she was quibbling.
"Don't you know what our situation is like? The things we sell are at least twice as much as yours. I can't even take my own things with me, so why should I take yours?"
If Lu Zhicai was still that illiterate orphan, he might really have done this, but he is no longer that.
With the financial resources he inherited, why would he bother to try other people's tricks?
Isn't that asking for trouble?
"Yeah, my grandpa is the richest man in this area. We have so much stuff at home that we can't even store it all. Besides, there are only my dad and I here. How can we possibly move all this stuff? Think about it for yourself!"
Old Liu and his sons looked at each other. When his two sons saw that everything was gone, they were so angry that they didn't listen to any explanation. They walked past Lu Mianmian and grabbed Lu Zhicai to beat him.
"After making so many excuses, I ask you, where did our things go?"
"Yeah, who knows how much stuff you have at home? Maybe you're telling us this to trick us. I'll kill you!"
The two young men rained down their fists on Lu Zhicai.
He is not young anymore, how could he bear such a beating?
"Oh my god, stop hitting me, it hurts so much. It really wasn't me. Our things are missing too. If it was me, I would have run away long ago. Why would I stay here and get beaten by you?!"
Hearing her father's groans, Lu Mianmian's face was filled with anxiety, and she quickly rushed over to stop him.
"Uncle! Listen to me!"
"We're victims too. If we were really here to steal, we would have someone on guard outside. Why would we let you come looking for us with flashlights? Are we crazy?!"
After hearing these words, the other two looked at each other. Old Liu put his hands behind his back with a very serious expression.
But he felt that what the girl said made sense, so he stretched out a hand and signaled his two sons to let Lu Zhicai go.
"Who told you to stay up so late at night? It's really bad luck."
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's almost dawn. If someone sees us, we're all doomed!"
It was only then that Lu Zhicai realized that the sky had changed from dark to gray, and the sky in the distance was pale as a fish belly, indicating that dawn was approaching.
Lu Zhicai took a look at the two pits he had dug, and his heart collapsed.
Seeing that they finally released Lu Zhicai, Lu Mianmian hurried forward and picked up the coat that had fallen on the ground.
"Dad, let's go home first. If we don't go home now, Jiang Tangtang will wake up. If she notices us, we won't be able to escape."
Lu Zhicai put his hands on his hips and looked at Lu Mianmian.
He still had some hope, but there was nothing he could do. He had searched everywhere he needed to, so this was the only way for now.
"Let's go home first, and then we can think of other ways."
When they left, they didn't even take the shovel, didn't fill the hole, and just left it there and ran away.
As Lu Zhicai returned home along the way, he felt more and more that something was wrong.
Originally, the family was living a happy life, but since Jiang Tangtang came, so many children have appeared in the house. She is really a disaster.
They were in a mess, the road was muddy, and their bodies were covered with dew from the leaves. They looked like they had just picked up some scraps.
