"What's all the noise outside? It's the middle of the night, and it's so noisy."
Wang Lan sat up with a yawn, but the room was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
"It looks like a fire. Whose house is on fire? That's so unlucky!" Shi squinted at the window, looking out with a hint of schadenfreude.
But then they noticed that their bedroom door seemed to be open. "Wait, why is our door open?"
He wanted to grab a piece of clothing to put on and go over to take a look, but he couldn't find any clothing where it was kept.
Then he realized that not only were his clothes gone, but all the closets in the room were also missing.
"How could this be? Where are our clothes? Where are our closets?"
Shi reached out in disbelief to touch the spot where the cabinet used to be, only to find nothing there.
"No, it seems like our house has been robbed?" Shi Shi said, her voice trembling.
He found that there was nothing left in the house except for the bed and the thin blanket covering him.
"What? How is that possible? Light the lamps, quickly light the lamps."
Wang Lan disregarded everything else, and while asking Shi to light the lamp, she also got out of bed.
Shi touched the spot where the lamp had once been, but it was still empty. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "My lady, the table and the lamp are gone too..."
"Mother, Father, my things have been stolen from my room!" Wang Fang's voice came from outside the door.
"Father, why is our front door open? What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
The youngest son, Wang Sanlang, came out of the house rubbing his eyes and immediately saw the open front door.
"Wait, where's our dining table? The dining table is gone!" Shi suddenly realized that the main room was also empty.
Then the Wang family started to get lively. The group, dressed in thin undergarments, walked around the house several times before making their final decision.
There was nothing left in the house except the bed.
Wang Lan immediately walked out the door and shouted to the people outside, "Oh no! My house has been broken into! My house has been emptied!"
"Oh my God! My house has been robbed! Waaah!" Shi Shi also came out and started shouting and crying.
Looking at his now destitute house, he wept so loudly it shook the heavens.
The fire startled everyone who was fighting it not far away.
"What the hell? What on earth happened tonight?"
"How come your house got burgled? Everyone knows your family is poor."
"Exactly, everyone knows what your house looks like, so who would want to steal from your house?"
"·····"
The firefighters were also startled, but none of them believed it.
They knew exactly what Wang Lan's house looked like, so why would any foolish thief steal from their house?
Wang Lan anxiously looked outside and shouted, "It's true! My house has been burgled! That thief is despicable! He even stole the tables and cabinets! You can see for yourselves if you don't believe me!"
She never expected that no one would believe her house had been robbed; she was both anxious and angry.
“It’s true! You can see for yourselves. We have nothing left in our house except the bed, sob sob sob~~” Wang Erlang added, crying from the side.
"What's going on?" The firefighters were also curious. What was happening today?
"No, something's wrong with my house too. These clothes aren't mine!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiashiqing, who was being rescued from the fire, also trembled as he held up the object in his hand and said.
He had just been rescued and hadn't noticed; when he went outside, he saw some clothes on the ground and reached out to pick them up.
Thinking that it's not easy to make new clothes for the family, every little bit saved counts.
Only now that everyone is saying this did he realize the problem.
These clothes don't belong to his store.
"What's going on? These clothes aren't yours?" The others looked at Tian Qing with suspicion.
Tian Qing excitedly protested, "I don't know! I'm sleeping with my wife, how would I know what's going on with these clothes?"
“Yes, this fire started suspiciously. I suspect someone has broken into our village. Everyone, let’s put out the fire first, please.” Zhang Xiuzhu hurriedly said.
Her hair was burned off, and her face was burning with pain, but this was not the time for infighting.
Zhang Xiuzhu had barely finished speaking when Shi Shi, sitting on the doorstep, began to weep so loudly it shook the heavens:
"Oh my God, that damned bastard stole everything from my house! There's nothing left on the dinner table..."
He lost all his belongings; even his dowry cabinet was stolen.
Just then, Yunniang walked back from outside carrying the cabinet she had found.
Illuminated by the surrounding torches, Shi immediately recognized that the cabinet belonged to their family.
He jumped up from the threshold in a flash, rushed over, grabbed the corner of the cabinet, and shouted:
"Well, you bastard, you dare to wander around in front of me! This cabinet is the one that was stolen from my house. Give it back to me, and give back everything else in my house!"
He thought all his belongings were gone, but he never expected that this little thief would dare to bring the cabinet back at this time. How could he let her get away with it?
"Hey, hey~~ Shi, let go! What little thief? I picked this cabinet up on the road, how is it yours?"
Yunniang almost fell over when Shi grabbed her. She reached out to stop him while putting the cabinet on the ground.
However, even though this guy is shameless, he probably won't mistake this for something else.
Judging from the looks of it, she probably won't be able to move this cabinet back.
