It was not until the next day at noon when Ji Lin was having lunch at her uncle's house that she learned that something had happened in Wang Cuilan's family.
She immediately couldn't sit still and came to Wang Cuilan's house as soon as she finished lunch. "I don't know what to say about your luck. The capital is so big, how come those robbers just happened to live next door to you?"
The two families lived so close to each other, how could those robbers not target your family? Ji Lin kept wondering in her heart.
"But you are lucky. There were many teenagers in your family when that group of people attacked your family. Otherwise, you would have cried!" Ji Lin said with lingering fear.
".....A few days ago, after the exam, when you were packing up and going home, didn't I tell you that things weren't going well out there lately and that you didn't have a husband at home? I told you to take the children and go live with your in-laws. Why didn't you listen?"
Ji Lin chattered a lot, completely expressing her worry about Wang Cuilan, and then she asked curiously.
"I heard from my uncle that the group of robbers who tried to climb over the wall to your house last night were all caught by your family when the police arrived. One of them was even beaten badly. How did you do it?"
I heard that there were more than twenty robbers in that group, and apart from the women and children, there were only a few people who were staying in Wang Cuilan's house who could fight. So how did they completely subdue the enemy when the disparity in strength between the two sides was so huge?
And this without any harm to their side.
Ji Lin is so curious!
"I know! I know! Sister Lin, if you want to know what happened last night, just ask me! I was involved in everything last night, and even my sister doesn't know as much as I do."
Wang Cuixiang, who had hurriedly slipped out of the nursery with the triplets at some point, immediately raised her hand when she heard this.
"Oh? Really? Then come over and tell me!" Ji Lin's eyes lit up and she waved at Wang Cuixiang.
Seeing this, Wang Cuixiang pushed the triplets towards her sister, then immediately sat in front of Ji Lin and told her the gossip from last night.
The two of them chattered away, having a great time.
Wang Cuilan looked at it and shook her head. Coincidentally, three children were holding her hands and wanted to go out to play, so Wang Cuilan got up and took them there.
Outside in the yard, Zhou Mingwu was talking to Aunt Zhou, and several young men from the village were standing or sitting together chatting.
They were all bragging to each other about their heroic deeds last night and were extremely excited.
Well, these passionate young men in their teens and twenties cooperated with each other to catch a group of burglars. How could they not be happy?
What's more, based on what the group of people confessed last night, they might not just be robbers!
But we are not sure yet, we have to wait for the police to investigate further!
Seeing Wang Cuilan bringing the triplets out, several people greeted them and then invited the triplets to play with them.
The three children were not shy and followed them.
Watching the three children leave without any hesitation, Wang Cuilan cursed them in a low voice, saying they were heartless, but she did not stop them and let them go.
"Cui Lan, aren't you worried? Qiangzi and his group have never taken care of children before, and they don't know how to control their strength. Aren't you afraid that they will hurt the three children?"
She didn't know when, but Wang Ling was standing behind her, looking at the triplets with worried eyes.
Wang Cuilan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've observed that Qiangzi and the others know their limits."
Wang Ling pursed her lips. Although she was still a little worried that Qiangzi and the others would accidentally make the three children cry, she didn't say anything more.
Then he asked something she hadn't figured out, "Cui Lan, how did you know for sure that those bad guys would come to our house last night?"
"I'm not sure. Didn't I say that before? I'm confused!"
Wang Ling glared at her and said, "Stop it, tell me the truth."
"It's the truth." Seeing Wang Ling's expression that said, "Do you think I'm a fool?" Wang Cuilan said helplessly, "Okay, I'll tell you."
"I heard Aunt Zhou say that a lot of strangers have come to our alley recently, and I had a bad feeling. I felt that the timing of their arrival was too coincidental."
"As soon as they arrived in the capital, several major crimes occurred. Regardless of whether they were responsible or not, I became increasingly concerned and wary of their family."
"It just so happened that when I was out yesterday morning, I noticed someone next door secretly observing our house. I kept an eye on them, and when Qiangzi and his friends were coming over with their luggage, I deliberately said at the door that after tonight, oh, it should have been last night, Qiangzi and his friends would be moving in, and the house would be lively."
Wang Ling finally understood what was going on and followed Wang Cuilan's lead, saying, "Are you fishing?"
She deliberately said tonight, oh no, last night. She deliberately said last night because a lot of young men were going to move into her house. If the group next door really had bad intentions towards her family, they would definitely act quickly.
Otherwise, if Qiangzi and other young men really move in, they will have no chance to attack anymore.
At least not in the short term.
Obviously, the group of people next door are visiting relatives, and their letters of introduction will not be valid for too long.
I don’t have the patience to wait for Qiangzi and the others to leave before taking action against our family.
Another point is that although the police had not suspected them before, they were criminals after all. They were worried that the longer they stayed in the capital, the more dangerous it would be, so they would definitely hurry back home.
It just so happened that the school students were on vacation at that time, which made it easier for them to blend into the crowd...
So considering all the above, as long as the group of people next door have bad intentions towards our family, their only chance to act would be last night!
Cuilan had already made preparations last night, waiting for the group of uninvited guests from next door to arrive!
Hiss, Wang Ling took a breath and his eyes changed when he looked at Wang Cuilan. Cuilan's brain...there is something special!
Wang Cuilan saw the change in Wang Ling's eyes, but she didn't take it to heart.
Noticing that three children not far away were already tired from playing and sweating, Wang Cuilan was worried that they would catch a cold, so she quickly stepped forward and held one in each hand. She even asked Wang Ling to help hold one, and then she got the three of them into the house.
After getting them into the house, Wang Cuilan did not try hard to take off the triplets' wet clothes. Instead, she stuffed a dry towel behind their backs and left them alone.
Seeing this, Ji Lin couldn't help but be surprised. "Even though it's July now, wouldn't it be easy for a child to catch a cold if they wear wet clothes? Aren't you worried?"
Wang Cuilan: "Why not? But changing their clothes right now will make them catch a cold. So, let's wait a little longer before changing them!"
"Ah? Why is that?" Ji Lin has no children at home, so she really doesn't know.
Wang Cuilan shook her head. "I don't know either. It's a rule passed down by the elders in my family. But it seemed quite practical, so I learned it."
