The Lin family had no idea that they were being vandalized while they were destroying houses. They were all thinking about a bright future and worked incredibly hard. Before long, they were covered in sweat and took off their clothes to continue working.
They're like perpetual motion machines, they never get tired.
Han Qiu watched his house being smashed from a distance, but he didn't look angry at all. On the contrary, he was in a good mood because this meant he could live with Lin Xiaoxiao for a while longer.
It's still a perfectly legitimate reason.
He left when he felt the time was right and soon arrived near the cowshed.
He secretly chatted with Jiang Li for a few minutes, and then Jiang Li went back after they finished talking.
Han Qiushi found a broken basin somewhere and started banging it with a twig.
"Something's happened!"
"The cow is gone, the cow was stolen..."
"Everyone, get up and look for the cow..."
He ran and shouted, and even Lin Xiaoxiao, who was staying at her aunt's house, could hear Han Qiushi's shouts.
"What? Our cattle were stolen?"
"Let's go find it quickly, let's go find it together..."
The women chatted amongst themselves as they walked together toward the cowshed, while Lin Xiaoxiao, carrying her bow and arrow, also headed towards the cowshed.
When they went outside, they heard a lot of noise and saw many villagers holding torches. Many people came out without their clothes on properly, buttoning their clothes as they walked, and they all walked quickly towards the cowshed.
When Lin Shuiniang heard that the cow had been stolen, she was devastated.
The cow was stolen?
Now that everyone in the village has come out, my family's men are not far from the cowshed. If they don't leave in time, won't what they've been doing be discovered?
In the end, will I be mistaken for a cattle thief?
Thinking of this, Lin Shuiniang felt a pang of panic.
Her first thought was to call them back, but the women around her were all holding her back, so she had no chance to leave.
"Lin Shui Niang, what's wrong? You look so pale." An older woman standing nearby couldn't help but ask, noticing Lin Shui Niang's condition.
"No... the cow was stolen, and I'm upset about it," Lin Shui Niang lied.
"I didn't expect you to have such a strong sense of collective honor," an auntie said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle to herself. The man wasn't afraid of his cow being stolen; he was afraid that her family would be mistaken for cow thieves.
Fortunately, it was late at night, otherwise Lin Shuiniang's trembling body would definitely have attracted attention.
In Lin Xiaoxiao's courtyard.
The Lin family father and son, who were working very hard, became nervous when they noticed a fire getting closer and closer to them.
"Holy crap!!"
What happened?
"Were we discovered while we were working?"
"Damn it, I didn't see anyone pass by here."
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and grab your things and run!" Lin Shui's father was about to be driven mad by his two stupid sons. Even at this point, they were still talking about being discovered. If they didn't leave now, they would really be discovered.
How could such a clever man have such a stupid son?
That's so stupid, he must have taken after the child's mother.
"You two idiots, get your hoe back right now! It has our family's mark on it!!"
Farm tools used in ordinary households, as well as pots, pans, and bowls, are almost always marked to prevent them from being mixed up with those of other people. Therefore, the marks on them are all different.
Upon hearing this, the two sons quickly went to pick it up again.
However, Wang Dazhuang and his men behind them gave them no chance to escape.
Wang Dazhuang shouted loudly to those behind him, and the young men behind him rushed forward.
What are you trying to do?
"What right do you have to arrest people? Release them right now!"
"Let me go!!"
The Lin family father and son were quickly subdued by the group, but no matter how much they struggled, they could not break free.
Before Wang Dazhuang and his group arrived, Han Qiushi reminded them to bring several ropes, which they used to tie up the Lin family father and son.
At this moment, the villagers behind heard the commotion and many of them came over.
"What's going on? What happened? Did they catch the cattle thief?" a villager asked when he saw the Lin family members being tied up by Wang Dazhuang and his men.
“No, we didn’t steal the cow, it wasn’t us…” Lin Shui’s father hurriedly shouted.
Smashing their houses is not a small matter, but stealing cattle is a much bigger crime.
The Lin brothers behind them also realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly shouted from the side that their family had not stolen any cattle.
"Then what are you doing?"
"The Lin family is inhuman; they smashed up the houses of Han and Lin, the educated youth."
"Look at the hoes and shovels they brought; they're still here..."
......
On one side of the cowshed, the villagers gathered with torches to discuss their plans.
Captain Wang looked at the empty cattle pen with a grim expression: "Where are the cattle? They were always fine, how did they run away?"
Standing to the side, Jiang Li and the professor shook their heads. "It was fine up ahead, but when we took a look, the cow was gone."
Many people looked at them with suspicion.
Han Qiu said, "Luckily they told me in time, otherwise I wouldn't have known about this."
Hearing Han Qiushi say this, Jiang Li and the others were immediately less suspicious. Everyone knew what cattle meant in the countryside, and if the cattle shed owners dared to tamper with the cattle...
