"After the rice is harvested, we'll pick and sell them! These are edible too!" Su Nanxi answered, holding a corncob and looking at it.
Mo Qinghe also picked up a stalk and looked at it. He hadn't peeled it open, so he couldn't see what was inside, but he could tell from the feel that it was heavy and must be full of plump kernels!
Nothing my wife grows is bad!
Since we've already picked them, let's take them home and eat them!
It's neither too much nor too little, and it's not easy to sell!
As for Liu Dashui, he has already been taught a lesson, but we will still talk to the village chief about this matter tomorrow so that the villagers can be more vigilant and take some preventative measures.
After all, it's not easy to grow anything at this time of year. You don't want it to be stolen when you need to sell it for money, causing unnecessary economic losses and encouraging people with a habit of petty theft!
The two returned quietly. Liu Dashui didn't see anyone appear, and he became even more panicked. Oh no, what has happened to him!
It's late at night. I used to think the night was enchanting and made things easier, but now I think it's not enchanting at all. It's filled with eeriness and terror!
The more Liu Dashui thought about it, the more frightened he became. His heart pounded, he gritted his teeth, endured the pain, scrambled to his feet, unleashed his full potential, and rushed towards his home!
The next day, when Grandma Mo got up, she saw a large basket of corn in the kitchen. She was stunned. Who could get up earlier than her? She had already picked corn and returned. Could it be that she got up before dawn?
No need to go so early, you can pick them slowly after it gets light!
Now that the family no longer runs a breakfast business, they don't have to get up very early anymore. They usually get up before dawn. Grandma Mo is usually the first to get up. She's old and can't fall back asleep around that time, so she just gets up and makes breakfast.
So it's no wonder that Grandma Mo was so puzzled. She had woken up early, but seeing that it wasn't dawn yet, she continued to lie down. However, she didn't notice anyone going out, but now they had all picked the corn and brought it back.
After Su Nanxi got up, knowing that Old Madam Mo would ask, she spoke first, briefly recounting what happened last night. Of course, she didn't say what she couldn't say!
Grandma Mo was furious when she heard this. They were about to harvest their corn, and yet they dared to steal it!
Farmers hated thieves, and thieves were severely punished back then; they would be taken to the authorities!
After all, everyone's things are hard-earned. If everyone followed suit, wouldn't society fall into chaos?
People work hard to earn what they want, but thieves can get it easily without putting in any effort. Who would want to work hard then?
Doesn't this corrupt social morals?
"Send him to the authorities! It's outrageous! He's done it once or twice, yet he shows no remorse!" Old Mrs. Mo said angrily.
When Old Xu heard that someone had come to steal corn last night, he immediately became furious, his beard bristling with rage. Who dared to steal his things?
He's been guarding it for a long time, just waiting for the day he could reap the rewards. Anyone who dares to mess with what he's been guarding must be bored and want to add some spice to their life!
Gao Yuling reacted differently, grasping the key point differently. She immediately said to Su Nanxi with a hint of resentment, "Su Su, you didn't even call me when you finished doing something big! That's so unfair! How could I be missing from something so important! If I were here, I would have beaten him to a pulp! Su Su, next time you go on a mission, remember to take me with you. I'll be your little helper. I'm very good at moving things, carrying loads, and even putting sacks on people! With me around, you won't have to do any of those chores!"
Su Nanxi could only nod, but she dared not do it in her heart. If this girl were here and saw her playing wildly, well, she might drive her crazy!
Fu Mingchuan was the calmest. He felt that this was a big deal and that the Mo family could definitely resolve it with their help. It wasn't his place to worry about it. He could just eat and drink as usual!
A group of people started discussing it, chattering away.
“We gave Liu Dashui a good beating last night, and he probably won’t be able to get up now. We didn’t think about taking him to the authorities at the time; we just wanted to vent our anger. But it’s the middle of the night, and it would be troublesome if we made a scene. Liu Dashui isn’t as honest as he seems on the surface; he’s actually quite glib and good at making excuses for himself!” Su Nanxi said to someone, with a hint of regret.
She really thought about taking Liu Dashui to see the authorities, but she probably subconsciously felt it was too much trouble, so she ignored it and chose to teach him a lesson herself. She felt better after beating him up!
Mo Qinghe couldn't bear to see his wife so upset, so he chimed in, "Yes! I didn't expect that either! That Liu Dashui is probably a repeat offender. He's very cautious and methodical, and he even comes up with a bunch of excuses for himself. It was nighttime, very dark, and it wouldn't have been the right time to arrest him and take him to the authorities. Since he's a repeat offender, he'll definitely do it again, and he'll slip up again in the future. We can still devise a plan to make him expose himself. But the most important thing right now is to go find the village chief and secretly tell him about this. The village chief knows how to handle things."
Grandma Mo nodded in agreement. If she were there, she would probably be too angry to think of anything else. She would definitely want to vent her anger first and give him a beating. Going to court is not such an easy thing.
Sigh! As an observer, she naturally thought of this, but it's not easy to put into practice, so you can't blame her third son and daughter-in-law.
Old Mo was so angry that his face turned black. He really didn't expect Liu Dashui to be so shameless. He had watched him grow up, and it was true that you can know a person's face but not their heart!
Without saying a word, he finished the bowl of porridge and went to find the village chief.
Grandma Mo knew that Grandpa was angry too, so she quickly finished eating and followed him, lest she say something rash in the heat of the moment, or she would make a mistake and cause trouble!
The village chief's family was just about to have breakfast when they saw the Mo couple suddenly arrive. They were stunned. The dark faces on their faces so early in the morning must mean something bad was going to happen!
But out of courtesy, he invited the two in, told them to have breakfast first, and then they could talk properly.
"We've already eaten, you guys eat! We're so sorry to bother you! Don't worry about us, just eat first! It's nothing urgent, it's alright, you can talk to us after you finish eating!"
Grandma Mo was a little embarrassed. How could she not have thought that the other person was having breakfast? Normally, she would definitely avoid coming at this time. This is really bad.
Ugh! I'm so angry I can't even think straight!
That old man is really something, why is he running so hard that she started running after him!
Old Mo ran over, initially quite angry, but calmed down after running. However, the old woman followed him, so he couldn't turn back and had to keep going.
When we arrived at the village chief's house, they were having breakfast, which was really inconvenient. So we decided to just wait there, even if it meant being a little cheeky!
This situation is so awkward that you could dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment with your toes!
"You guys eat! If we tell you, you might not be able to eat!" Old Mrs. Mo kindly reminded them.
"Oh?! Who's caused trouble again?"
