The village chief was trembling with rage. "What are you three trying to do? Have you no regard for the law? You're absolutely audacious!"
Some villagers who got up early also came to see what was going on, and they gathered around the door, chattering away.
"Zhu Zi, Shi Tou, you take a few men and tie up the three of them, then take them to the town's police station."
Yao Shuangxi panicked upon hearing this. This was a time of severe crackdown, and if he were sent to the police station, the consequences would be extremely serious; he might even be shot.
"Uncle, please don't send me to the police station. I know I was wrong."
"Uncle Village Chief, please, we were just confused for a moment, please let us go."
Wang Jin and Wang Lai also pleaded for leniency, as they did not want to go to jail.
The village chief was in a bit of a dilemma. These three people were young and impetuous, and it was possible that they might make a mistake or take the wrong path.
The village chief couldn't help but look at Xiaoli, wanting to see her reaction before making a conclusion.
Xiao Li pretended to be terrified and stammered.
"Uncle Village Chief, last night they broke in with ropes and knives, were they planning to tie me up and sell me?"
The village chief froze. That's right, these three rascals were carrying ropes and knives; they were clearly not good people. How could he possibly forgive them?
"Send them to the police station! These three scoundrels are really outrageous. If we forgive them now, they might do this again in the future. Our village can't have such scum."
Zhu Zi and Shi Tou, along with a few others, swiftly tied the three men together, linking them in a chain, and dragged them to the police station.
The three of them wanted to lie on the ground and refuse to get up, but they turned into small flames that flickered in front of their eyes.
They screamed in surprise, jumped up in fright, and ran out of the courtyard gate.
How could they forget that this courtyard is extremely unlucky? They would rather go to jail than stay in this courtyard any longer.
The village chief then asked what exactly happened last night, and Xiaoli gave a brief explanation.
“I locked the gate tightly last night, and they couldn’t pry it open. Luckily, my gate is sturdy.”
The village chief looked at the marks left by the three people climbing over the wall; the wall was indeed a bit low.
"I'll have a few people raise the wall a bit, and then stick some debris on top, that way it'll be safer."
"Thank you, Uncle Village Chief. I have my dog for company, so I'm not afraid."
The village chief glanced at Huanling; the dog was indeed clever.
He gave some more instructions, and only left after confirming that Xiaoli was indeed alright.
"Master, this is so much fun! Can I still scare people like this in the future?"
Xiao Li took Youyou back. "This is a very serious time. You must not show it to anyone."
"knew."
The reply came quickly, but the tone was very reluctant. What's going on?
Thinking of Yao Da's family, she hadn't really dealt with them yet.
"But you guys can go visit Yao Dajia, just be careful and don't cause any deaths."
"Okay!"
The three little ones ran very fast, and they didn't forget to count down 1, 2, 3.
"123, stay home and watch over your owner. When you come back, I'll tell you the story."
123 watched longingly. It couldn't leave Xiaoli, and it missed out on all the fun things. It was really unhappy.
Xiao Li was quite curious about how the three little ones had tricked her uncle's family, so she released her divine sense to cover them.
Under the cover of Huanling, the three little ones remained hidden on the roof of Yao Dajia's house without alerting anyone.
Yao Da had just gotten up. He sat in the main room smoking his pipe, still regretting that he hadn't managed to take over his younger brother's house.
He looked at his somewhat dilapidated house and sighed.
"That girl Xiaoxiao is such a nuisance. Once she gets married, won't the house still be mine?"
Thinking about this, he became somewhat smug again. It was only after he understood this that he didn't forcefully try to take over Yao Er's house.
Dai Qiuhua came out of the kitchen carrying breakfast.
"Honey, dinner's ready."
Yao Dongsheng rubbed his eyes, and without even brushing his teeth, he grabbed a pancake and started eating.
"Mom, are we having this again today?"
Dai Qiuhua quickly ran to the kitchen and took out a small bowl, which contained scrambled eggs specially made for her son.
"Here you go, eat it with some porridge."
Yao Dongsheng was then happy and ate the eggs in big bites, finishing them in just a few mouthfuls.
"Mom, you're so unfair! Why don't I get any eggs?"
Yao Xixi applied face cream as she came out of the room; she had been having a lot of dreams lately.
I dreamt that I moved into my second uncle's new house, and I also dreamt that my beautiful cousin became my maid.
She yawned, wishing it were true.
"It's all gone now because you woke up late."
Yao Dongsheng proudly tossed the bowl aside, showing his sister the empty bottom.
Suddenly, he noticed something black at the bottom of the bowl. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a lump of poop.
"vomit……"
Yao Dongsheng vomited. He had just finished eating all the eggs and hadn't even noticed the pile of poop.
"Why did you throw up, child? That's such a waste of eggs."
Dai Qiuhua looked pained; these were eggs! She wished she could pick them up and eat them right away.
Yao's face darkened. "What are you yelling about? It's fine to waste an egg, but the child vomited, so he must be feeling unwell."
He looked at Yao Dongsheng and asked, "Dongzi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yao Dongsheng vomited until his throat was swollen and his eyes were filled with tears. He couldn't speak and could only point to the bottom of the bowl with his finger.
The family looked over, but there was nothing there. Hadn't they eaten it all up?
The whole family stared at him, bewildered, not understanding what he meant.
Yao Dongsheng vomited for a while, even bringing up his bile. He lost his appetite, and the thought of that lump of poop made him want to vomit again.
He returned to his room looking unwell.
"Hmph! It's good that he's not feeling well. He should have said so earlier. What a waste of such precious eggs."
Yao Ming had nothing to say; wasting resources is indeed a bad thing.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
A greenbottle fly flew by, and Dai Qiuhua picked up a fly swatter to swat it, but the fly was too fast and she couldn't hit it at all.
"Smack..."
"Mom, why did you hit me?"
Dai Qiuhua gave an awkward laugh; she was just swatting flies.
"Smack..."
This time, Yao Ming has been slapped in the face.
"Have a meal!"
Dai Qiuhua was furious; she was determined to kill that damned fly.
The fly darted east and west, up and down, and before you knew it, it had flown to the dining table.
Suddenly, a fly flew towards the porridge bowl. Dai Qiuhua swatted it hard with a "smack," sending the entire fly swatter crashing into the porridge bowl.
Yao Xixi stopped eating and ran away with a pancake in her hand.
Yao's face darkened again. "Can't you do anything productive all day? How are we supposed to eat? You can eat by yourself."
He also picked up two pancakes and left, leaving Dai Qiuhua alone staring blankly at the porridge; she couldn't eat it either.
