Jiang Gui’s wife did not expect such a sudden turn of events.
Jiang Gui came back with a pile of items today and told her to keep them properly.
She saw that a lot of the items were top quality and asked Jiang Gui where he got them. After a series of questions, Jiang Gui admitted that he got it from Jiang Chuan’s house. This got her scared and she quickly went to look for her father-in-law for help.
Her father-in-law didn’t have much of a reaction and just told her to keep it since Jiang Gui already brought them back. But she didn’t dare to do such a thing so her mother-in-law did it while scolding her for being useless instead.
After a while, she heard villagers shouting outside that there were thieves in the village. She was frightened and wanted to ask her husband to return the items. But what she did not expect was getting scolded by her mother-in-law again and her getting kicked out to check on the situation.
But now…

She was lucky she didn’t say the wrong thing this time. She knew that the more she said, the easier it was to make mistakes.
She led the way in silence, hoping that her mother-in-law had hidden the things well.
As they were about to reach the front door, Jiang Gui’s wife rushed forward and knocked on the door, shouting, “Jiang Gui, open the door! There was a thief at Jiang Chuan’s house and the chief wants to check our house!”
Jiang Xia stared at her auntie with a hint of mockery in her eyes. Did she really think she could escape by letting her family know what was going on before they went in?
A moment later, Jiang Gui opened the door as if he had just gotten out of bed.
“Chief, why are you looking at our house when it is Jiang Chuan’s house where the robbery took place?” Jiang Gui said, looking very calm as if he knew nothing.
“I’ll search every house.”
After a few days of events, the village chief had long lost his good impression of the Jiang family, and he spoke in a business-like manner.
“Oh, oh! 1 see! Please come in, chief.”
Jiang Gui let them in, and Jiang Hua, the second brother, and his wife opened the door while rubbing their eyes.
After the departure of Jiang Chuan’s family, the work of the Jiang family fell to the second brother and his wife.
“Village chief, why are you here?”
The village chief didn’t want to explain it again, so he let Jiang Gui do the explaining.
“Where are your parents?” The village chief asked.
“My parents are sleeping in the room. They’re already so old, so there’s no need to wake them up!”
“We have to search them all.” This family was too long-winded, and the village chief was about to lose his patience.
After hearing Jiang Gui’s words, Jiang Xia rolled his eyes. She did not believe her grandparents were sleeping.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two old geezers of the Jiang family had not slept so early once. They usually had naps in the afternoon when their children are out working. Her grandmother was also known to be a light sleeper and she would complain every time someone made too much noise.
It was so loud tonight, how could they be sleeping? Moreover, her son had been the one to cause it.
“Village chief, wait a moment. I’ll go get them. Jiang Gui didn’t dare to go against the village chief, so he went to call for help.
With Jiang Gui’s wife looking at them, the village chief and his people entered Jiang Gui’s room.
Jiang Xia had lived in the Jiang family house for so many years, but she had never stepped into Jiang Gui’s portion of the house. The things inside were of the highest quality, and the house they had lived in before was nothing compared to that.
Jiang Chuan looked around and shook his head at Jiang Xia letting her know there was nothing. Jiang Xia wasn’t disappointed. After all, no one would leave their stolen goods in their own house unless they had no time or place to store them.
Jiang Xia had a feeling that his uncle had hidden all the items in her grandparent’s part of the house.
The two old men were already in the courtyard when Jiang Xia exited the room.
Old lady Jiang’s eyes and nose turned red the moment she saw Jiang Xia. She was furious at the sight of money flying away from her without being able to grab it.
Perhaps it was because she had been taught gender equality since she was young, Jiang Xia had never understood those who valued men over women. It was normal for a man to think that way in this era, but why did women also value men over women? Weren’t they women themselves?
After searching in Jiang Gui’s room, they went to Jiang Hua’s room, and finally to the elder’s room..
