The door wasn't pried open, and there were no signs of climbing over the wall. When the police came, they couldn't find anything wrong, took a statement, and left.
The family was left alone, staring at the empty courtyard, continuing to weep and wail.
They dared to call the police, but another family, the Wei family, didn't even dare to call the police after discovering their house had been burgled, because...
They didn't lose rice or flour; they lost all the embezzled goods!
It's something that can't be brought to light anyway. If you lose it and report it to the police, wouldn't that be an admission of guilt?
Wei Jian'an wasn't that stupid. He just thought the burglary was because his job was too lucrative and he'd been targeted. However…
He's fine even if his own home is burglarized; he has other houses.
Therefore, after discovering that his home had been burglarized, Wei Jian'an did not dare to report it to the police, but instead went to check other courtyards immediately.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it...
Wei Jian'an's world collapsed.
That's all!
All gone!
He worked hard for the harvest committee for so many years, and all his ill-gotten gains are gone!
"You damned thief, don't let me catch you, or I'll tear you apart alive!"
He cursed under his breath and went to work with a dark expression.
Although his family's wealth had been completely stolen, life had to go on as usual. Coincidentally, a leader was inspecting the area today, and he couldn't refuse to come.
"Why the long face? Does it mean you don't welcome me?"
When they were alone, the leader with the goatee looked Wei Jian'an up and down and said coldly, "Or do you think you're giving me too much of a show of respect because you've been paying me too much?"
"No way! Boss, I'm innocent!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Jian'an immediately snapped out of his daze and said with a fawning smile, "Boss, you don't know, I'm just having trouble with things at home!"
"What happened at home? What's wrong at your family?"
"My house was robbed, and all the savings I've painstakingly accumulated over the years are gone!"
"You didn't report it to the police, did you?"
"No, how could I dare!"
"That's good."
The man with the goatee breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smirk, "Stop making that sour face. It's just a little something lost, no big deal. We can just get it back from somewhere else."
"Elsewhere? Boss, you mean..."
"The Qin family in Wangfu Lane, didn't you already have your eye on their large courtyard house in Tongzi Lane? You can have that house. Remember to hand over any antiques and artifacts you find. Go and get it done! Do it well."
"..."
While the two were secretly plotting against the Qin family, the Qin family...
After resting for half a day, Yu Mingxiang got up and tidied up the house with her family.
Everything that could be mailed was sent to Hedao Village.
Postage, the flowers Yu Mingxiang gave up.
Yu Mingxiang didn't throw the large items that couldn't be shipped into her spatial storage.
These are things that the children are very familiar with, so it's hard to explain why they would appear in the countryside.
After working for half a day, Yu Mingxiang cooked dinner as it got dark.
Soft and tender slices of pork, stir-fried celery, served with a cold cabbage salad and rice, made for a very warm and cozy meal for the whole family.
In the middle of the incident, Xue Ru was so startled by the sudden kick from her unborn child that she spilled half a bowl of rice.
Yu Mingxiang shoveled the rice off the ground back into her bowl and kindly delivered it to Qin Yuzhu after the meal.
They were starving for four days and only drank a few scoops of water.
Qin Yuzhu now treats food more affectionately than her own mother.
