“Yes, my sister taught me how to write my name a few days ago, so I wrote my name on the things in our house.” Jiang Gu replied loudly.
Hearing the answer, the village chief took the oil lamp from the man’s hand with a straight face and use the lit-up torch to check
On the base of the oil lamp was the words ‘Jiang Gu’.
The village head was furious. If the oil lamp didn’t belong to the Jiang Chuan family, he would have used it to hit the man’s face.
“Sun Li, our Tong Shan village has never had someone with such low morals like you all these years. How dare you do such a sneaky thing!”
After the village chief spoke, the others followed suit.
“Jiang Chuan family did not have an easy life. Now that things are improving for him, you’re stealing from him?”
…..
“You really need a beating. Out of all the things you could do, you ended up stealing.”
Old Sun and his wife were scolded to the point they couldn’t lift their heads and didn’t dare to say a word.
Some of them were even more unpleasant and directly started to curse the couple’s ancestors.
The kinder a person was, the more resentful they would be towards those who stole. In this era with very few things, villagers would get scared if something goes missing from their house.
It was lucky that Jiang Gu’s items had her name on them. What if there wasn’t? No one could defend them.
“Sun Li, did you steal all these just so you can afford to buy your own coffins?” Seeing that everyone was still cursing, the village chief waved his hand to stop them and said, “Sun Li, Where are the other things from Jiang Chuan’s house? Bring them all out.”
The man called Sun Li stood side by side with his wife, their heads lowered so that no one could see their expressions. They could only follow the village chief’s orders and take them all out.
Seeing that they were not speaking, some of the more hot-tempered villagers could not suppress their anger and picked up a small stone from the ground to throw at the two of them.
The stone accurately hit Madam Sun’s arms causing her to scream in pain.
The others saw that this move was effective, so they followed.
The village chief frowned slightly. Even though he did not agree with using force to solve the problem, Sun Li really made him angry.
At this moment, a stone hit Sun Li’s ankle and he screamed in pain.
Jiang Xia’s mind instantly flashed with the image of a man who was about to jump off the wall but slipped. This man’s leg was injured, so how could he run faster than them? Just now, they had clearly run over to take a look, but they had not seen anyone.
The stones continued to hit the Sun couple, causing them to cry out in pain.
Seeing that more and more stones were being thrown at them, Madam Sun finally said, “Stop hitting! Don’t hit me! This is the only thing I have in my house. If you don’t believe me, you can search.”.
Sun Li fell on the bed with a pained expression.
Hearing the words from the old lady, the village chief stopped the crowd from continuing to throw stones.
The village head had confirmed that the villagers were only throwing small stones before tacitly agreeing to their actions. Otherwise, it would have been fatal.
“Jiang Chuan, you should walk around and see if there’s anything else in your house.” The village chief said.
“Okay, thank you, chief.” Jiang Chuan replied and started to look around.
Jiang Xia followed suit. When they reached the courtyard, the villagers were still discussing the matter.
The house wasn’t big, so not many people could hear the whole process of the incident. Now that the house had quieted down, the news slowly spread to the outside.
“Jiang Chuan’s family is really lucky this time! If her daughter didn’t learn to write and write her name on everything in the house, how could they find those things?”
“Yup! What a coincidence! Why do you think Sun Li would do such a thing!”
“Why wouldn’t he? Don’t assume that just because he doesn’t talk much means that he is a good person. How many of those that hang out with Jiang Gui are good people?”
The Jiang family’s eldest son, Jiang Gui, was a well-known hooligan in the village. He used to bully many people before he got married. It was only after he got married that he gradually restrained himself.
“Who are you guys calling a bad person?”
Suddenly, a woman’s voice interrupted their conversation.
“What’s wrong with my Jiang Gui?” the woman asked aggressively, “What did he do that you get to assume he is a bad person?”
