Chapter 63 There's a thief in the house
Bang!
Upon hearing this shocking news, Ding Xiaodie dropped the ladle in her hand to the ground, and a flock of crows flew over her head...
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xiu Ce actually started to think seriously, muttering, "Actually, either Dabao or Erbao is a good kid. If they could become our son-in-law, they would definitely be filial to us their whole lives."
"That's right, I think so too." Ding Gui wanted to tease his daughter, so he nodded vigorously in agreement with his daughter-in-law's words.
"Are you crazy? I'm only a few years old, a minor, do you understand?" Ding Xiaodie clenched her fists anxiously. Are you crazy? He urged her in her previous life, but she couldn't escape even after coming here.
Zhang Xiu said seriously, "They said we should get engaged first, not get married right away. Besides, in ancient times, everyone got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. You're already twelve!"
Ding Gui had other ideas: "But if she marries into the Lu family, then our daughter will be the young mistress, right? Then we can both enjoy happiness."
"Dad, Mom, stop talking."
Ding Xiaodie bent down to pick up the ladle and whispered anxiously, "Behave yourself. Do you really want to live in ancient times forever? Have you ever thought about what would happen if we traveled back in time? Would we leave your grandchildren behind in ancient times? Think about it carefully. If I gave birth to a child, I definitely wouldn't be able to take the child with me. You two would be heartbroken then."
“…”
After hearing what their daughter said, Ding Gui and his wife looked at each other in surprise. They had never thought of this.
Of course, what if there is a chance to wear it back again?
What if Xiaodie really gets married and has a child? Tsk tsk... I don’t dare to think about it anymore.
"No, if anyone brings this up again, just say that Xiaodie is still young and we don't want to arrange a marriage for her too early." Zhang Xiu finally came to his senses.
Looking at her father nodding again, Ding Xiaodie asked helplessly, "Do Dabao and Erbao know about this?"
They were obviously good friends, but if they knew about this, she was worried that it would be awkward for them to meet each other in the future.
Ding Gui hurriedly shook his head: "The brothers don't know, it's just that Village Chief Lai Fu asked the ancestor to sound out the matter. If you don't agree, they will pretend that this matter never happened."
In this way, Ding Xiaodie felt relieved.
She sighed, "I also need to tell grandma not to make promises to others outside, and not to tell anyone about this. Dabao and Erbao also have to save face."
"Leave this matter to me!" Zhang Xiu agreed.
…
That night, after dinner, the family went to bed early.
Wang Dafeng no longer has to worry about not having enough to eat. Her daughter-in-law is completely different from before. She takes care of everything at home and outside beautifully.
In short, she always finds a way to make the food on the table delicious.
As a result, the idle old woman was not anxious and fell asleep directly on the bed. Soon, her snoring could be heard throughout the upstairs of the cottage.
Ding Xiaodie and her mother squeezed into one bed. In such hot and humid weather, she always felt sweating wherever her body touched the bed. It was so uncomfortable.
Seeing her daughter tossing and turning and unable to sleep, Zhang Xiu whispered, "It's so hot, it would be nice if it could rain!"
If there is rain, there is hope that the crops can be grown.
But now Ding Xiaodie had no intention of talking to her mother, she just responded lightly.
But after she responded, she suddenly sat up. Although she was upstairs and Wang Dafeng was snoring loudly, for some reason, she was able to hear a slight click.
Did someone open their door?
"how……"
Zhang Xiu saw her daughter sitting up and just asked a question when she saw Ding Xiaodie gesturing to her to be quiet.
Ding Gui, who was also awake, saw his daughter quietly getting off the kang and walking towards the door. Naturally, he was worried, so he hurriedly followed her.
Ding Xiaodie, who was hiding by the door, made several professional gestures in succession: Don't move, squat down.
What is this?
Ding Gui was stunned!
He had no idea how to use this police-specific hand gesture.
Ding Xiaodie turned her head and whispered, "Don't make a sound, I'll go take a look."
"What are you looking at? Have you forgotten?" Zhang Xiu waved her hands anxiously. How could this child forget how thin she was again?
Ding Gui hated to see the quarrel between the mother and daughter, so he quickly pretended to retreat and sat down on the sofa.
Ding Xiaodie turned and left.
As she went downstairs, Ding Gui and his wife each picked up something handy and followed her. If someone really broke into the house, how could they let their precious daughter face it alone?
After walking down a few stairs, I saw a beam of moonlight shining in from where the main entrance used to be.
If the door is closed, how can there be moonlight there?
Sure enough, a thief broke in!
Ding Xiaodie relied on her thin figure and went downstairs quietly like a kitten, moving towards the kitchen along the corner.
There was a slight rustling sound from inside, someone was rummaging through something.
It seems that there is more than one. At the same time, Ding Xiaodie couldn't help but take a breath. Her family has been too ostentatious these days.
He went up the mountain and hunted a rabbit, and was rewarded by Mr. Lu. Later, when he caught the five Modu soldiers, he was rewarded by the eldest young master again. In those days, food was more valuable than money.
His family was feeling proud for a while, but they were accidentally targeted by thieves.
The most important thing right now is to find out whether they have knives in their hands. If they do, you must not make a sound.
Losing food is only temporary, but losing your life is irreversible.
But just when Ding Xiaodie wanted to get closer to see the other person's situation, there was a sudden crackling sound behind her!
It turned out that Ding Gui and Zhang Xiu, who had followed quietly, didn't see clearly and kicked a can.
The can was kicked over and rolled forward. It froze in front of the two masked men as everyone was suffocating.
this……
Ding Xiaodie was stunned!
Ding Gui and Zhang Xiu were stunned.
The two masked men were petrified on the spot. They didn't know what to do next.
After both sides held their breath for two seconds, the two masked men immediately turned around and rushed out of the kitchen.
Ding Gui's cry broke out immediately afterwards: "Catch the thief, catch the thief!"
Zhang Xiu shouted at the top of his lungs: "Catch the thief!"
However, Ding Xiaodie seized the opportunity and handed over the dog-beating stick in her hand when the masked man ran up to her.
The opponent was caught off guard and was tripped by the dog-beating stick and fell to the ground.
Bang!
The force of the fall immediately brought up a layer of dust.
The other one running behind saw his companion fall, hurried forward to help him, and then stumbled towards the door.
"Where are you running?" In desperation, Ding Gui quickly picked up an earthen jar and threw it at the other party. Unexpectedly, the hit was quite accurate and hit his elbow.
