Chapter 31: Catching the Thief and Establishing Authority



The man sobbed and cried, "What do you want?"

Tang Youyou didn't say anything. At this moment, all the family members rushed out.

"Mother/Sister/Youyou, what's going on?"

"Ruoyi, brother, go and ask the village headman, and tell him you've caught two thieves!"

After the two of them came forward to check, they were shocked: "Mom, it's Liu Laizi and Wang Tongsheng!"

Tang Youyou raised an eyebrow. He's still a student. How shameful.

"Go quickly and make things bigger!"

Then he looked at Ruo'er and said, "Go get two hemp ropes and tie them up for me!"

After a while, several people sat in the yard and looked at the two tied people.

Listening to the approaching footsteps, Tang Youyou picked up a stick and started beating the two men.

"Ah! Bitch, please let me go..."

"Widow Tang, I'm a student, how dare you hit me?"

She sneered, "I don't dare to hit you, scholar. How can I not hit you, a fool who has studied for more than ten years and is still just a student?"

While beating him, he said, "I told you to steal, I told you to bully me, an orphan and a widow, and I told you to be so stubborn!"

Several children shrank back and swallowed at the same time, looking as if they were in pain.

"Tell me or not? Why are you sneaking into my house?"

Yu's voice came: "What's going on at this hour?"

Tang Youyou immediately threw away the stick, threw herself into her arms and began to cry: "Sister-in-law Yu, these two shameless guys wanted to kill me for money. Fortunately, I came out to the toilet and found them in time, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see me tomorrow, wuwuwu..."

Several children stared with wide eyes: "Weren't you fighting so hard just now? Why are you crying so suddenly?"

Lin Huahua: What is mother-in-law trying to do again?

Tang's mother suppressed a laugh: What bad idea is this girl up to?

Yu was stunned at first, then patted her on the back: "You are too soft-hearted. You still can't change your stubborn temper. Send her to the authorities..."

Looking at her man: "What are you still standing there for? Borrow the ox cart and send the official..."

Xu Da slapped his thigh: "Okay!"

The village head came over with a group of people and heard this sentence. He shouted to stop them: "Wait a minute!"

"Uncle Village Head, save me..."

"Uncle Lizheng, if you don't come, Widow Tang will beat us to death? Wuuwuwu..."

The village head felt a headache. Wang Tongsheng was a member of his clan. What should he do?

Looking at the sobbing Tang Youyou: "What's going on? Tell me!"

"The village head said they were planning to kill and rob, and I discovered them..."

"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly because you were lonely and intolerable that you kidnapped us. When we refused, you beat us up..."

"Bullshit! I think you don't want to live anymore!" Tang's mother domineeringly protected her daughter.

Yu also echoed: "Are you addicted to slandering people? Everyone knows you're a scoundrel, a thief all day long. How could my sister be interested in you? Do you have any meat on your body? Don't you even look at your own moral character? You keep talking like you're a hot commodity. Bah!"

Tang Youyou: That's a very good point, but I always feel like something is wrong.

Liu Laizi was choked and stammered: "Originally, I didn't plan to come, but she...she said...give me one ounce of silver...I..."

The village head couldn't stand it any longer. What kind of man would steal a man and then steal him in his own home? Is he afraid that others won't know?

As expected, Yu said directly: "Bah! Don't be naughty! My sister may not be good at speaking, but she is not stupid. Who would steal a man in her own home? Are you afraid that your family won't find out?"

Tang Youyou clapped without hesitation: "Well said, don't say it next time!"

Yu pursed her lips and smiled, muttering softly: "Isn't this an example?"

Xu Da said loudly: "That's right! My wife's words are rough but her logic is sound!"

Tang Youyou looked at the head of the village: "We each have our own opinions. Why don't we report it to the police? I suspect they are habitual offenders. It took me a lot of effort to catch them just now."

When these words were spoken, everyone was indignant.

"A few days ago, my hen was lost..."

"Half of my radish field has been pulled out. I don't know what's causing it."

"Half a bag of soybeans was lost..."

"You guys think that's acceptable, but I can't even say it out loud, who stole my underwear..."

When these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter, and then became even more angry.

"Village head, we can't let this cancer remain in the village!"

"Yes, send these two people to the authorities and drive them out of the village!"

Someone raised an objection: "If this matter gets out, who will come to our village to propose marriage?"

"That's right, it's so embarrassing. It will affect the children's marriages!"

The discussions continued one after another, and the village head felt overwhelmed.

"Quiet!"

Everyone fell silent, and many people pursed their lips. This Wang Tongsheng was from the village head's family, so they wanted to see how he would deal with it.

The village head looked at the two people sitting on the ground and said, "I'll give you two choices. One: tell the truth, two: see the official..."

His eyes fell on Wang Tongsheng, and he was a little disappointed: "Changhai, if you still want to pass the imperial examination, tell the truth, otherwise I can't help you..."

This Tang family member is no simple matter. If she was alone tonight, she could have suppressed the matter. Unexpectedly, she chose to make a big deal out of it. This is to warn those who want to take over her family.

Wang Tongsheng felt a little regretful. He closed his eyes and looked ready to die.

Liu Laizi's heart skipped a beat: "Don't be stupid!"

"Pa!" The headman slapped him without hesitation.

Pointing at him: "Shut up!"

He then looked at Wang Tongsheng and said earnestly, "Changhai, you are a member of my Wang family. How could I harm you?"
