Aunt Wang was startled. She found a stick somewhere and looked around warily. "Ah? A thief? Where is he? We can't let him get away like this."
Jiang Wanwan said helplessly, "All three thieves have escaped and we can't catch them."
"That won't do. We have to tell the village chief tomorrow. We can't let them get away!" Aunt Wang said angrily.
This concerns the safety of the village, and we can't just let it go like this.
Jiang Wanwan nodded, "Auntie is right, that's exactly what we were thinking. It's getting late now, and we don't want to disturb Grandpa Village Chief. We'll tell him about it first thing tomorrow morning."
“Alright, but don’t sleep too soundly tonight. Keep them awake so they don’t come back,” Aunt Wang said.
"Thank you for reminding us, Auntie. We will," Jiang Wanwan said.
After saying that, Aunt Wang turned around and quickly closed her front door tightly.
Why did the village suddenly become a target of thieves?
Could they be here to steal grain from the village?
No, she has to be extra vigilant tonight and make sure she can protect the family's meager food supplies.
Jiang Wanwan felt a pang of guilt seeing Aunt Wang's wary expression.
Well, I didn't want to bother anyone with this, but I still managed to disturb Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang is probably not going to be able to sleep tonight.
Jiang Wanwan felt somewhat sorry for Aunt Wang.
After exchanging glances, the members of the Jiang family silently entered their own courtyard.
They closed the courtyard gate tightly, and the group, their previous wary expressions gone, exchanged glances and chuckled softly.
"Hahaha, you didn't see Jiang Daniu and Jiang Dayong. They were beaten so badly by my brother and me that they ran away with their heads in their hands, howling in pain." Jiang Dahe threw the stick in his hand to the ground and burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.
"Hehe, I gave Jiang Dayong a good beating. He probably has a lot of bruises. A few of his teeth are probably loose too," Jiang Jiang said with a sheepish grin, scratching his head.
"Hehe, Jiang Dali was also miserable! We surrounded him with sticks and beat him. Every blow hit flesh, and I felt pain for him just listening to it. He didn't dare to make a sound, afraid that we would find out who he was," Jiang Xun said with a grin, beaming with pride.
"Hey, you know what? After beating them up, a lot of the pent-up anger in my chest dissipated," Mrs. Hu said cheerfully.
Everyone nodded in agreement, looking very relaxed.
Grandma Jiang slapped her thigh and said with a look of disgust, "You don't know Jiang Dali. He's so young, but his eyesight is like he's crippled. It's even worse than mine!"
After he climbed through the window into our house, guess what happened?
"What's up?" the Jiang family members asked with interest.
"Hey! He couldn't even find the fake secret recipe!" Old Mrs. Jiang said, spitting everywhere, both amused and exasperated.
"Didn't my eldest granddaughter deliberately let them know which compartment the fake secret formula was in? I never expected that idiot Jiang Dali wouldn't even know which compartment to look for!"
And he's still muttering to himself, "Where is the third square?"
"No way, hahaha, that's so stupid."
"Even a pig isn't as stupid as him!"
"Who says otherwise? He's stupid enough, but he searched the entire cabinet and still couldn't find the fake formula! Tell me, isn't he blind?" Old Mrs. Jiang slapped her thigh again, her expression agitated.
