Today, Song Aiguo came to guard the place again. The thief had not come for several days, and he began to suspect that the thief knew that he was guarding the place, so he didn't come.
As a result, not long after he spread out the quilt and lay down, he heard someone shouting not far away.
"Ouch!" It was a woman's voice.
Song Aiguo suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. He threw back the quilt, picked up the wooden stick beside him and went towards the direction of the sound.
The man over there was tripped by the hemp rope used by Feng Guizhi. He fell hard in the middle of the night without any precautions. He was wailing and slowly getting up from the ground, not noticing Song Aiguo approaching at all.
He cursed in his mouth: "Damn it, who is so wicked! I almost fell to death, ouch~ my arm! ~"
Although it was dark now, he could still make out some figures after the darkness settled in. Song Aiguo slowly moved forward based on his memory. When he got behind the man, he suddenly shouted:
"Don't move!"
While shouting, he grabbed the woman's arms and twisted them behind her back.
"Ah! Ghost!!!" The woman was so frightened when she heard Song Aiguo's voice suddenly that her scream almost deafened Song Aiguo's ears.
Then I felt the pain in my arm: "Ouch, it hurts!"
Song Aiguo would not show mercy to a thief, even if the other party was a woman. He did not attack her, but just grabbed her to prevent her from running away.
"Come with me."
Song Aiguo dragged the person out and took them to Old Song's house. It was too dark now, and he couldn't see clearly who it was. Even from the sound of his voice, it didn't sound like Mrs. Li or Mrs. Tian.
"What are you doing? Let me go..." The woman suddenly panicked and began to struggle.
"Don't move. If you move again, don't blame me for being rude." Song Aiguo said sternly.
The woman was frightened for a moment and dared not move.
Song Aiguo dragged her all the way back to the Song family's house. Feng Guizhi was still awake at this time. When she heard some noise outside, she got up and opened the door, and then she saw Song Aiguo dragging someone with him.
Feng Guizhi was stunned for a moment, then realized that the thief had been caught.
"Let me go, let me go, if you let me go again I will call for help!" The woman
He panicked and started yelling.
"You scream, let me see which thief has the nerve to be so shameless." Feng Guizhi said with a cold face.
The noise in the yard woke up several people in the house. Soon, Yang Yulan and Song Jianye came out with their clothes on, as well as Chen Xiuxiu, Sun Suyun and others.
"What's wrong, mother?"
"What happened? Was the thief caught?"
"Alright, I finally caught you. Let's see who is so shameless as to do something like stealing food!"
Several people went to the main room, and the woman was pushed over by Song Aiguo. After entering the room, Feng Guizhi lit the kerosene lamp, and the room became bright. Only then did everyone see who the woman Song Aiguo was holding was.
Everyone was surprised when they saw this.
"It's you!" Chen Xiuxiu raised her voice in surprise when she saw the person.
It was not the guessed Mrs. Li, nor Mrs. Tian, but someone they could never have imagined - Chen Fengxia!
Even Yang Yulan never thought that the person who stole the corn would be Chen Fengxia.
Chen Fengxia sat on the ground, shook off Song Aiguo's hand, and reached out to brush away the hair that was scattered on her face, with a look of despair.
She couldn't run away now, but she hadn't had time to steal today, so no matter what they said, she wouldn't admit it.
After making up her mind, Chen Fengxia raised her arm with a grimace and looked at the place where she had just been rubbed. A piece of skin had fallen off and it was burning with pain.
When Old Song's family realized what was happening, they immediately became furious. "Why is it that you're such a heartless woman again? You've done so many shameless things. First you sold your own daughter, and now you're even stealing!"
"How can you be so shameless? We have provoked you, and you came to our house to steal food. How can you be so black-hearted, huh?!"
"You're from the Yuejin Production Brigade, and you came to my house to steal corn. You're really something!"
Their previous suspicion was that it was someone from the Hongqi Production Brigade, and they never imagined that it was someone from the Yuejin Production Brigade next door.
Hearing what they said, Chen Fengxia immediately glared and cursed: "Who are you talking about? Don't slander me. What did I steal? Who saw me stealing?"
"I saw you appear in our family's private plot in the middle of the night. You are stealing food. Are you not sleeping at night?
Come over to see the moon?" Song Aiguo snorted coldly.
"Hmph, I don't care what you say. I didn't steal anything. If you accuse me of stealing, can you produce evidence?" Chen Fengxia snorted. "Also, your family's private plot? Where did you get your private plot? All the land now belongs to the state. How dare you say that it's your family's private plot? Tomorrow I'll go ask your team leader if he knows about this."
Seeing that Chen Fengxia not only had no intention of admitting her fault, but also turned the tables and wanted to go to Song Yuangang to complain, Feng Guizhi's face could not help but darken:
"Okay, go ask, and then we'll report it to the police. I want to see whether your crime of stealing grain is greater or our crime of growing some grain is greater. I don't believe your family doesn't have a private plot of land, otherwise we'll have a good talk about it then."
Feng Guizhi was not afraid of her at all. Almost every family had a private plot. If she dared to expose it, it would not be difficult to find her family's private plot by asking around.
After all, if anyone knew that she stole food, she would be drowned in spit.
Seeing Feng Guizhi's assertiveness, Chen Fengxia suddenly felt a little intimidated. Of course, her family had their own private plot, quite a bit, where she could grow crops. If this were exposed, she would definitely suffer the consequences.
She had no choice but to change her words, stiffening her neck and making a cunning argument: "Anyway, I didn't steal the food. You can't slander me without evidence."
Seeing her like this, Chen Xiuxiu was furious: "You've been caught on the spot, and you're still lying with your eyes open, huh?"
"You didn't steal it, and you're not afraid of retribution for lying. You're not afraid of dying of diarrhea from eating that corn."
No matter what they said, Chen Fengxia refused to admit it and insisted that they were slandering her and that they should produce evidence if they accused her of stealing food.
Everyone in the Song family was furious with her, but reporting the matter to the police was a hassle, and going to the team leader wouldn't explain it either. After all, everyone knew about the private plot, but it had never been brought up openly.
So, now they really don’t know what to do with Chen Fengxia.
But if Chen Fengxia wasn't taught a lesson, she would become more fearless and come to his family's private plot to steal some food from time to time. What should he do? He couldn't be on guard every day, could he?
Feng Guizhi looked at Chen Fengxia's bruised arm. She had indeed fallen quite hard this time, but she felt that she deserved it.
She said:
"Forget about the few heads of corn this time, and I won't ask you to pay for it. But if it happens again, it won't be so simple. At most, we can make a scene and hand over the grain we grew. But stealing grain is a quality issue, and we might even have to send you to a reformatory. We'll see who's afraid then." Not only that, but everything in her family's private plot had to be handed over.
Feng Guizhi was not saying these words to scare her. If they really wanted to make trouble, Chen Fengxia's theft of food would not be just a simple matter of a few heads of corn.
Now is a sensitive time for policy. As long as there is a problem with ideological quality, it can be a big or small matter.
Hearing this, Chen Fengxia's heart shuddered. When she had been stealing before, she had thought that she would steal two or three times quietly and do it secretly, so she would not be discovered. After a few times of stealing without anyone knowing, her courage grew. However, after hearing what Feng Guizhi said, she could not help but shudder.
Although she thought that it was not a big deal with just a few heads of corn, she couldn't help but believe it when she heard Feng Guizhi say it was a quality issue.
Anyway, they were not going to pursue this matter. Chen Fengxia stood up from the ground and asked, "Can I leave now?"
Feng Guizhi nodded, and Chen Fengxia glanced at them and turned away.
Watching Chen Fengxia leave, Chen Xiuxiu was still a little angry: "She got off so easy! She should have been sent to the fields to chop the corn she stole and done some hard labor first."
Feng Guizhi had this thought in mind, but it was the middle of the night and she couldn't see anything. If she wanted to do anything, she could only wait until daytime, so she decided to forget it. Besides, the Song family wouldn't do such a thing as lynching someone.
"Forget it. I doubt she'll dare to come next time."
"If it happens again, I will scratch her face to pieces. She has no shame anyway." Sun Suyun said angrily.
"That's right." As she said that, Chen Xiuxiu turned around and thought of the three yuan that Chen Fengxia had lost. Her anger subsided again. "Forget it, let's not make a fuss about this matter. Let's just think of it as us picking up those three yuan and adding a few more heads of corn."
"Besides, is our corn really that delicious? The thief would definitely get diarrhea if she ate it. Let's see if she dares to do it again."
After talking for a while, seeing that the matter was resolved, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Meanwhile, Chen Fengxia was walking home in the dark and accidentally tripped again on the way.
The hit was quite serious, especially since her arm was already injured. The pain made her sit on the ground and howl for a long time.
After arriving home, Chen Fengxia hugged her arm and went to bed. The pain was so severe that she couldn't fall asleep. In the middle of the night, after finally falling asleep, her stomach started to hurt early in the morning, waking Chen Fengxia up with pain and running to the bathroom again and again.
When Liu Youcang woke up in the morning, he saw that Chen Fengxia was not there and thought she was cooking in the kitchen. But when he went in, he found that the fire was not on and he could not find Chen Fengxia, so he could only put some rice into the pot himself.
"Where have you been?" Liu Youcang saw Chen Fengxia coming in holding her belly and asked with a frown, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Fengxia didn't even have the energy to talk to him, so she went straight into the house and lay down. Liu Youcang saw that something was wrong with her, so he followed her and saw that she had a large scrape on her arm.
"What happened to your arm?"
Chen Fengxia curled up in bed, wailing silently, her face turning pale.
Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Liu Youcang turned around and went back to the kitchen. After breakfast was ready, Liu Youcang poured a bowl of porridge for Chen Fengxia and placed it next to her. He said goodbye to her and went to work.
Chen Fengxia turned over and tried to reach the bowl, but as soon as she moved, her stomach started to hurt again. She quickly got up and went to the toilet.
After running there several times in the morning, Chen Fengxia was completely exhausted. Her arms were also sore, so she couldn't go to work and lay in bed at home all day.
Chen Fengxia hummed and cursed the people of the Old Song family in her heart, thinking that it must be their curse, otherwise why would she have diarrhea for no reason.
As she was thinking about it, her stomach started to hurt again. Chen Fengxia's face turned pale and she quickly got up.
......
After the corn thief was caught, life in the Song family returned to normal. However, every time he went to pick corn, he would always check to see if there was any left.
Two days later, everyone in the team had joy on their faces because the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.
Although every family is not well off now, but when festivals come, they can finally afford to eat something good, which makes life more hopeful.
