The villagers looked as if they wanted to tear Zhao Guiying and Sun Xiuhong apart.
Zhao Guiying pointed at Li Mingqing and said, "The Li family kid is talking nonsense. My son-in-law does have sleepwalking."
"He was sleepwalking from your house to the wheat field. He was caught by Brother Mingfu and my eldest brother. How could he dress neatly and wear a hood while sleepwalking in case others recognized him?"
"Yeah, who said sleepwalkers shouldn't wear clothes?"
Zhao Guiying said stubbornly.
Li Mingfu said, "He's definitely not sleepwalking. He's sneaking around and hiding things, so you can tell he's a repeat offender."
The villagers are not fools and have seen sleepwalkers before.
How could it be wrapped so tightly, from the village to the wheat field?
Sun Xiuhong hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Fellow villagers, this is a misunderstanding."
Li Mingqing took out a silver needle and walked to the unconscious Wei Xueyi.
"Just ask the person involved to find out if it's a misunderstanding."
Zhao Guiying and Sun Xiuhong rushed over to stop him, "What are you going to do?"
"Why are you so scared? If it's just a misunderstanding, it needs to be resolved. I can still take his life."
As he spoke, he inserted the silver needle into Wei Xueyi's body.
Less than a minute later, Wei Xueyi opened his eyes and covered his head with his hands. "Hiss..., who dares to hit me!"
Li Mingqing shone the flashlight on his face.
Only then did he see that there were people standing around him, and he remembered that he was knocked unconscious when he came to steal wheat.
He immediately stood up and complained first.
"Who hit me? My head is bleeding. You must pay for the medical expenses, otherwise I won't leave. Are you guys in Lijia Village bandits?"
"If you don't want to leave, then don't leave. There are so many eyes watching you in Lijia Village. If you get caught stealing, you'll be lucky enough not to be beaten to death."
"What? You still want to beat me to death! Xiuhong, mother, are you just going to watch me get bullied?"
Seeing him so cocky, Li Mingqing said, "Village Chief, let's go to the police station after daybreak. It seems that theft is punishable by death by shooting."
"Don't scare me. Do you think I was scared?"
"You're admitting you came here to steal food. Even if you deny it, it's okay since there are so many eyes watching."
Wei Xueyi wanted to run but was knocked down as soon as he turned around.
There are ropes tied around my feet.
The village chief said coldly, "Keep an eye on him and send him to the police station tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mingfu and Zhang Tiezhu took a rope and tied Wei Xueyi to a big tree nearby.
Sun Xiuhong said in a panic: "Uncle Village Chief, we won't dare to do it again. Let's release Xueyi."
Zhang Cuihua added, "Girls are just outgoing. Look at the live-in husband our daughter found. Xiuhong, you grew up in the village. How could you ignore the lives of your fellow villagers? Don't you know how important food is? A married woman is like spilled water. She only thinks about her in-laws, not her own family at all."
"You damn old woman, this is a misunderstanding!"
Zhao Guiying shouted but no one believed her. Facts speak louder than words.
Wei Xueyi couldn't break free, and seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly said, "Mom, please beg for mercy. I had no choice but to do this because my family couldn't make ends meet."
"Just shut up!" she yelled.
She was not popular in the village to begin with, and because she had no son, the old women in the village laughed at her openly and secretly. After finally having her daughter and son-in-law come back, she did this.
From now on, I won’t be able to hold my head up in the village.
"Xiuhong, tell me the truth, do you know what the Wei family kid did?"
"We didn't do it on purpose. We just had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure."
"Desperate? You two have nowhere else to go so you come and block my way? I really have a good daughter. Weijia Village is so big, yet you have to come back to torture me!"
She felt exhausted and walked back with slow steps.
Things were almost done, Li Mingqing yawned and walked back.
It makes sense to send people to watch over the wheat field. It must be because each village has suffered losses before that they organize people to keep watch.
He even brought the wheat straw with him when he started to attack, thinking that he would be able to harvest the wheat anyway.
This is purely for the sake of a free meal.
The police station chief lives there.
Sun Xiuhong followed Zhao Guiying and kept muttering, "Mom, let's go save Brother Wei later."
"Don't call me mother, I'm not your mother."
"Mother, how could you do this? Why don't you think about your daughter's future? It's all your fault. If you could give us food or money, how could Brother Wei come to steal? It's all your fault."
Zhao Guiying slapped her in the face.
"Get out of here. From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore."
"This is my home. Why should I leave? Brother Wei hasn't been rescued yet. If he goes to jail, you have to support me and the child."
Li Qingming, who was in front, couldn't help but twitch his lips after hearing her words.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as this.
Stealing is justified.
Zhao Guiying usually fights with everyone but she is powerless to fight back in front of her own daughter.
Evil will be punished by evil.
After Sun Xiuhong finished speaking, she trotted over to Li Mingqing.
"Why are you stepping forward? This matter has nothing to do with you. If it weren't for you, Brother Wei wouldn't have been kidnapped at all."
"Go to the hospital tomorrow."
Being unreasonable.
"Are you feeling guilty? This is all because of you. Go and let him go."
"You're so guilty, if it weren't for me, your brother Wei wouldn't have been able to stop the bleeding so quickly. By the way, you haven't paid for my medical treatment yet. It's only natural to spend money on medical treatment. Give me the money."
"It's not me who went to find you. Whoever found you should take the money."
"Haha, as an accomplice, you also have to go to the police station. You and your wife go in together, and it doesn't cost money inside, so why are you so stingy?"
