Chapter 136 Catching a Thief



Hua Qingping grabbed a broom and prepared to quietly hit the person with a stick to scare him away.

But when he saw the thief inside actually started to steal the pork hanging on the beam, he immediately got angry!

If this guy steals the meat, what will he eat during the New Year?

I wanted to let him go, but he has changed his mind now!

The thief is guilty of a heinous crime and deserves death!

Hua Qingping then had no more scruples and kicked the kitchen door open, shouting:

"Stop, don't move!"

The thief's hand trembled and he sat down on the ground, but he reacted quickly and jumped up again. He quickly picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board and waved it towards Hua Qingping.

The voice was vicious.

"Get out of the way! Or I'll chop you off!"

Hua Qingping was furious: "Hey, you're so arrogant even when you steal! I don't think you've experienced how powerful your grandfather is!"

Damn it, what’s so great about holding a kitchen knife?

He used the moonlight to aim at the thief's shadow and smashed the hand holding the kitchen knife hard. With a clang, the kitchen knife fell to the ground. The thief covered his hand and screamed.

As he shouted, he took two steps back and knocked over the bowls on the stove. The sound of tinkling and clanging woke up everyone in the family.

With a click, the kitchen light came on. Wang Jingxia rushed to the kitchen first and turned on the light. She saw Hua Qingping holding a broom and confronting a man with his hands covered.

There was a pile of broken porcelain and a kitchen knife under the man's feet.

She immediately realized that she had been robbed.

So he rushed forward without saying a word, and heard the thief scream in pain before being subdued to the ground.

His nose and tears streamed down, and he cried in pain, "Auntie, can you please change places? There are only broken porcelain pieces in here, and they're cutting me to death!"

Wang Jingxia cursed, "You damn thief! I'll send you to the police at dawn!"

At this time, everyone went to the kitchen together, looked at the thief whose face was covered with wounds and bleeding everywhere, and found that it was a stranger.

Wan Qingliu: "Which brigade are you from?"

The thief kept silent.

Old Flower: "Hurry up and check what's missing from your house. He might have stolen it!"

Zhou Yujiao immediately turned around and ran back to the house. She rummaged through the place where she had hidden the money and found that no money was missing. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Wan Qingliu checked the things in the kitchen, then ran back to his room and searched all the places where he had hidden his money. He found that nothing was missing and felt relieved.

Hua Qingping rummaged through the thief's pocket and pulled out a dime. Every wrinkle on the dime was a familiar mark to him, and there were also lines drawn on it with a pencil.

"Damn, it turned out to be you during the day! Finally I got my money back!"

Wang Jingxia was originally very angry, but she couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene.

Hua Jingmin found a piece of hemp rope from somewhere and tied up the thief tightly. He then kicked the thief out of the door. The thief felt the pain in his butt and screamed again.

He begged, "Please spare me, please be kind. I have an 80-year-old grandmother and a newborn son at home. My whole family depends on me for support. I've been forced into no choice!"

Hua Xuguo: "You know your family can't afford the turmoil, yet you still choose to do this? Who can you blame for your own death? If I let you go, won't those families you robbed be miserable? You go in and reform yourself!"

After saying this, Hua Xuguo looked at the sky and said:

"Tomorrow the fourth and fifth children have to go to work, the women at home have to take care of the children and do chores, and Dad has to work in the fields. They all have to get up early. I have the least to do anyway, so I'll stay here and watch him so he doesn't run away at night!"

Wan Qingliu nodded: "Okay, that's it, let's all go to bed."

Hua Xuguo felt a little resentful for a moment. Was he still his mother's biological son? How could his mother refuse without even a hint of refusal?

In short, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep, leaving Hua Xuguo watching people in the yard.

He tied the thief to a tree in the yard and moved a bench to watch him.

As he watched, he cursed:

"It's all your fault. I can't sleep well tonight!"

After saying that, he kicked the thief.

The thief wanted to cry. Damn it, he didn’t even let this guy watch him!

"Brother, please let me go. Then you can sleep, right?"

Hua Xuguo: "Let you go? Ask you to steal again? You wish! You say you have good hands and feet, so why don't you do anything else? You only come to steal things because you meet our family, so we are civilized. If you meet someone with a bad temper, no one would believe you even if you were beaten to death!"

The thief thought to himself: Your family also beat me up pretty badly! Where is the civilization at all?

Thinking of this, the cuts on his face hurt even more.

He originally wanted to secretly cut the rope and run away while Hua Xuguo was dozing off, but Hua Xuguo kept his eyes wide open and watched him until dawn.

As soon as the sun rose, Wang Jingxia tied up the collapsed thief and prepared to go to the commune to find the police.

Hua Qingping was riding a bicycle, Wang Jingxia was sitting on the back seat, and the thief was tied up at the back and ran away.

Someone on the street saw it and asked curiously: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Wang Jingxia complained, "Don't even mention it! This thief came to our house in the middle of the night to steal something and was caught. Now we have to take him to the police!"

"Something was lost in my house the night before last. Could it have been stolen by this damn guy?"

"Ouch, I have to go home and see if I lost anything!"

After learning that this was a thief, the people who asked slapped their thighs and hurried home.

When Wang Jingxia returned home, she found Hua Wanchi playing in the mud again.

This time she saw clearly that the little guy seemed to be planting something.

"Chichi, what are you planting?"

Hua Wanchi looked up and saw that it was her auntie who had returned. She replied, "Auntie, I'm planting a cactus! Grandma said it can grow really tall and have thorns, so we don't have to worry about thieves!"

Since she discovered the thief, she had a sudden idea to plant a row of cacti along the wall to prevent theft.

Originally, she wanted to plant pitaya, since they are all from the cactus family and pitaya is delicious. But then she thought that pitaya seemed to have not been introduced to China yet.

It would be bad if someone with ulterior motives saw this and said her family was a spy family.

So she switched to growing cacti. They also produce fruit, and they seem to taste okay, but they're just not as easy to eat as dragon fruit.

She planted a row of plants along the wall, then picked up the kettle and poured spiritual spring water on the ground.

After her experiments, she found that spiritual spring water can also promote plant growth in the outside world. Hehe, I hope these cacti will grow up quickly and taller so that she can eat the fruits sooner!

The thief was handed over to the police, who detained him for a few days and then released him.

After coming out, the thief was so angry!

He still holds a grudge in his heart!

The Hua family beat him up, and the wounds on his face haven't healed yet. Now, if he makes a face and pulls the wounds, it hurts him badly.

He holds a grudge against the Hua family!

So he decided to go again at night and give Lao Hua's house a good thief!

He is bound to make the Hua family suffer heavy losses and suffer heartbroken!
