The Su family was in complete chaos, but the mastermind behind the bizarre theft case—one of them was beating someone up with a sack, and the other was having lunch at Dr. Huang's house.
At the dinner table, Dr. Huang mentioned that the night before, Su Laoda had been beaten up with a sack over his head. Su Xingran was completely unaware of this; in fact, no one in the village knew about it either. Dr. Huang only found out because he visited Su Laoda the next day for a medical checkup.
When Dr. Huang mentioned that Su Laoda had been beaten up like a pig's head, he also glanced at Duan Yuming. Don't think he didn't know; it was this old bastard who did it. That day, when he asked Xingran about the grudge between her and the Su family, this old bastard looked like he was about to go and beat someone up right away.
Well, he agreed quite a bit. Seeing Su Laoda's pig-headed face made him feel pretty good. Hmm, not bad, he really liked Duan Yuming's methods.
When Duan Yuming heard Uncle Huang mention the incident of Boss Su being covered in a sack, he felt a little guilty. He knew that Uncle Huang was an upright person and would definitely not approve of such underhanded tricks.
What Duan Yuming didn't know was that while Doctor Huang was an upright man, he also had his own selfish motives. When he was younger, he wasn't exactly aboveboard in his methods when dealing with those who competed with him for Gu Qingxiao.
Now that Su Xingran is his apprentice, how could he stand by and watch her be bullied without caring? It's just that he's getting old; he can't exactly do what Duan Yuming did and put a sack over her head. Therefore, he thinks everything Duan Yuming did was right.
When Su Xingran learned that Su Laoda had been put in a sack, she was also very happy. She wondered who it was that did this good deed anonymously, a true hero who acted on behalf of heaven.
The anonymous swordsman, who was on Su Xingran's mind, suddenly sneezed while eating. Duan Yuming rubbed his nose, wondering what was wrong. The weather was so hot; why was he sneezing all of a sudden?
Then Dr. Huang brought up the theft at Old Su's house that morning. When he mentioned that the entire house, including the beds, had been emptied, he glanced at Su Xingran, who was sitting there obediently eating her meal.
Dr. Huang's lips twitched. He couldn't bear to look directly at her. Who would have thought that this audacious thief was actually a girl of about ten years old? And looking at her obedient face as she ate her meal, he wanted to cover his eyes even more.
Thinking of the Su family members waking up to find themselves sleeping on the floor, their entire house emptied, Su Xingran felt that today's food tasted especially delicious, and the air felt particularly pleasant.
Duan Yuming and Su Xingran had no idea that Doctor Huang knew what they had done. No matter what Doctor Huang said, they pretended not to know, yet acted with great curiosity, making Doctor Huang want to give them a good whack on the head.
Everyone in the village is talking about the theft at Old Su's house. Some of the older folks are saying that they've lived almost their whole lives and have never seen anything like this before. They say it's not human thievery, it's like God punishing Old Su's family.
Younger people like to think about strange things, believing that it is the work of ghosts and gods. Only ghosts and gods can empty the entire Su family without anyone knowing.
The Su family is now shrouded in gloom. By noon, they can't even get breakfast, let alone lunch. Without food and cooking utensils, where will they eat? Old Mrs. Su and Zhao Xiaohua sit on the ground with long faces, since there are no stools left, so they have no choice but to sit on the ground.
"Dad, what should we do? The house is empty, we can't eat, we don't have a bed to sleep in, and all the money in the house has been stolen. What should we do?" Old Master Su asked Old Man Su with a bitter face.
Old Man Su's head was throbbing with pain, and he didn't want to deal with his useless eldest son at all. His hidden gold and savings were all gone, and his future livelihood was ruined.
