Lin Shuncai ignored him and walked straight out of the village.
When I came back, it was already dark.
Lin's mother wanted to ask him where he had been, but Lin Shuncai ignored her and went straight into his room.
Lin's mother sighed, went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles, and brought it to Lin Shuncai's house.
"Son, I discussed this with your father during dinner. The youngest daughter of the Ge family in the neighboring village is quite good. Would you mind if I could find a matchmaker to propose marriage to you?"
Lin Shuncai said nothing, perhaps because he was really hungry, so he picked up the bowl and started eating.
Lin's mother kept nagging in his ear until Lin Shuncai got annoyed and slammed the bowl on the table. Only then did Lin's mother shut up.
"If you think it's good, go talk to someone. I don't mind if they agree. I just want you to stop nagging me."
Hearing Lin Shuncai's words, Lin's mother immediately became happy.
"Okay, then it's settled. After the buffet tomorrow, I'll go and propose marriage to you."
Mother Lin happily took the bowl and left.
Lin Shuncai's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "There is no buffet anymore."
After saying that, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and fell back on the bed.
…
At night, more than twenty sneaky figures appeared outside Taohua Village.
"This Taohua Village used to be one of the poorer villages in our area. Now, I don't know what's going on in the village every day, and the men don't go out to work."
"Is the limited number of people we have enough?" a voice asked hesitantly.
The leader scolded in a low voice: "We haven't even started yet, and you're already looking for trouble here. If you don't dare to go, get out of here."
Someone else spoke in a low voice.
"Yes, I heard that Taohua Village distributed dividends to the whole village today, and the least amount received was fifty taels of silver."
"Ever since the Qiu family's daughter, who was raised in the richest family, returned home, Taohua Village has changed dramatically."
"The village is now doing snack and brick kiln business, and I heard it's booming."
"The people of Taohua Village are really getting rich. We only need to find the few households at the head and tail of the village and don't disturb the others."
"Old Four is right. I've already checked this afternoon. There are only four people in the family on the left side of the village. As long as we can subdue the young man there, we'll be fine."
"And that household has only five people. If we sweep them one by one, we're sure to get a lot."
The leader looked confident of victory.
"Then we'll listen to the boss. We also have to thank that kid Lin Shuncai. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have thought of coming to Taohua Village to plunder."
The speaker spoke proudly.
The leader shouted again, "Work harder, talk less, fight quickly, and go back soon. Cover your faces."
"yes."
They quickly sneaked into the village, and Qiu Yinong, who was sleeping, was awakened by the system alarm.
"Master, thieves broke into the village, go and rescue them." The small system urged anxiously.
Qiu Yinong opened her eyes instantly and quickly put on her clothes.
"Cousin, second brother, get up quickly." Qiu Yinong ran to the door of the two people, knocked on the door and called softly.
Everyone in the family woke up quickly, and Qiu Yinong quickly said, "Don't light the lights."
Mr. Qiu ran out without even putting on his clothes.
"What happened?" Father Qiu asked in panic.
Qiu Hansheng and the others quickly dressed and came out. Qiu Yinong said, "I've been feeling uneasy today, so I just sat on the roof looking at the stars. And just now, I actually saw someone sneaking into the village."
"Ah?" Father Qiu slapped his thigh and said, "There were quite a few people watching the dividend distribution today. This must have spread."
"Xiwang's family is small, so they will definitely be the first target."
Father Qiu also hurriedly ran into the house to put on his clothes, and told Qiu Hansheng and the others, "Boss, go and quietly wake up the men in the village."
"Second brother, you go with your sister and Ayun. The three of you should practice martial arts so that you can deal with it better."
"But remember, don't act rashly and don't get hurt."
"Fourth and fifth sons, you stay home and look after your mother."
"Okay." Qiu Hansheng responded quickly and was about to go out.
Qiu Yinong said, "Brother, go call Shouquan and the others first. They all know some martial arts."
"Okay." Qiu Hansheng nodded, quietly opened the door, and went next door first.
Qiu Yinong also quickly led his men towards the village entrance. Qiu Hanqing picked up his silver spear and followed behind.
All the men in Taohua Village took action at once, while the women were led by the headman's wife to the Qiu family yard, or gathered nearby.
Aunt Tao was guarding the door with a rake, as if she would use the rake to hit anyone who dared to come in.
The twenty or so thieves thought they had done it perfectly, but they didn't expect that their whereabouts had been discovered long ago.
A tall and thin figure climbed over the wall into Xiwang's house, opened the door carefully, and five or six people rushed into Xiwang's house.
They soon found Xiwangniang's house and one of them waved.
One of them bent down, pulled out a dagger, and carefully fiddled with the bolt, while the other two fiddled with the bolt of the room where Xiwang was.
One stood at the gate of the yard to keep watch.
The man who was fiddling with the bolt on Xiwangniang's door was fiddling with it nervously when someone suddenly patted his shoulder.
"What are you doing? Just say what you want to say." The man cursed impatiently.
But the person who patted his shoulder continued to pat him relentlessly.
The man was angry: "What are you doing!"
When he turned around, he saw a pretty face. The man was stunned. He looked at his partner again, only to find that he had fainted on the ground and was unconscious.
The man suddenly panicked, wondering if he had encountered something dirty.
"Ah!" The man became more and more frightened the more he thought about it, and couldn't help but scream, and then he was punched in the face.
The severe pain came and he wailed again, completely alarming the people in Xiwang's family.
The candle was quickly lit, and Xiwang's wife's voice came out: "Husband, go and see what's going on."
"Okay, you are pregnant, stay indoors and don't come out. I'll go and take a look." Xiwang spoke gently and quickly came out holding a candle.
When he saw Qiu Yinong and Chu Hongyun, he was still a little confused.
Looking at the three masked men lying in the yard, their lives unknown, he suddenly understood: "Hurry up, someone, there are thieves in the village."
This shout woke up several households in the village, and the other evil men were so scared that they turned around and tried to run away.
As soon as he reached the door, he was kicked back into the yard.
The family also lit a candle and came out. The man saw that there was also a thief in his yard, so he quickly picked up the stick behind the door and blocked it.
"Han Qing, thank you."
"You're welcome, Brother Erzhu." Qiu Hanqing came in with a silver spear in his hand, and the other thieves were so scared that they knelt down immediately.
The others were also subdued by the servants of the Qiu family or other villagers. In an instant, candles were lit in every household in Taohua Village.
The thieves were taken to the open space in front of the guesthouse. The village head glanced at the group of people and recognized many familiar faces.
They are basically rogues or idle young men from the surrounding villages.
"How dare you come to our Taohua Village to commit crimes and robberies?" the village head roared angrily.
