Chapter 41 There Are Thieves in the House

Chapter 41 there are thieves in the house

The next day, Li Jianguo said she had to go out for a day and asked Li Haitang to accompany Li Tao to the town's health center. She didn't ask any more questions and nodded in agreement.

After taking a lot of medicine yesterday, Li Tao's condition was much better. After Dr. Tang's examination, he suggested another infusion. Naturally, they listened to the doctor.

After Dr. Tang had stitched him up and left, Li Haitang tucked him in and asked casually, "How was your talk with dad the night before yesterday? What did he say?"

Li Tao looked a little haggard, her lips were white, her eyelids drooped, and her voice was still a little hoarse. "Dad doesn't agree to remarriage."

Li Haitang had expected this outcome for a long time. He had endured it for ten years before he finally made up his mind to divorce. Looking at Li Tao's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear it. After all, the other party was his own mother and sister. He sighed softly and asked, "What do you think?"

"I have no idea."

When he said this, the tone of his voice was obviously a little wavy, how could Li Haitang not recognize it? However, she did not intend to talk too much about this matter, lest it disgusted him.

Li Jianguo went out for a whole day, and didn't come back on his bike until it was almost dark. Looking at his gloomy face, Li Haitang also guessed that he must have gone to the Deng family. Without asking much, he poured him hot tea, and then brought up the warm food and hot soup in the pot.

After dinner, Li Haitang went home. After pouring a large bucket of hot water and taking a bath, he washed the clothes with warm water and hung them on the wire outside.

She didn't go to bed until ten o' clock and slept well until dawn.

After breakfast the next day, Li Haitang changed into clean clothes and walked to the town with her backpack on her back. She planned to go to the wang family and teacher Tang Hui's home for new year's eve today.

After walking for a while, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something and turned around to walk back. As soon as she reached the door, she was shocked to hear the faint sound of closers coming out of her room. Was there a thief in the house?

Just as she turned around to call for help, she saw Li Yongchun and his family passing by with several bags. It looked like they were going to visit relatives. She immediately ran over and shouted, "Uncle yuan lin, auntie, Li Yongchun, please do me a favor."

"Li Haitang, what's wrong?" Li Yongchun saw that she looked a little flustered and immediately stopped.

Li Yongchun's mother also looked curious and said, "Haitang, what can I do for you?"

Li Haitang rushed to them with a look of dismay on his face. "I just closed the door and was about to go to town to pay my teacher a new year's visit. I forgot to bring something with me, so I turned back to get it. I just walked to the door and heard a noise in the room, as if someone was rummaging through something. I suspect it's a thief. I'm afraid to go in alone. Can I trouble uncle and auntie to help me build up my courage?"

"Thief? Stealing in broad daylight. Let's go. Uncle will take a look for you." Li Yuanlin put the sugar bag in his wife's hand and took the lead in striding over.

"Thank you, Uncle yuan lin." Li Haitang immediately chased after him.

The rest of their family followed suit, and the people in their village were relatively simple. Even if there were some unclean hands and feet, they were also very secretive and would not let others grasp their hands and feet. Instead, they wanted to see who was sneaking into other people's house to look for things in broad daylight.

"Come on, hurry up! What are you going to do with these broken books? Just take that pen." A familiar voice came from the room.

Another slightly guilty girl's voice cautiously reminded her, "Mom, keep your voice down. Although Li Haitang is out, there are people next door. Be careful that they hear him."

"All right, all right, take away the good stuff quickly. Your uncle and the others are leaving soon, and they won't help to take it away if it's late." The woman urged.

"Mom, I like the cotton jacket and pants Li Haitang bought, but she washed them and hung them out to dry. What should we do?" The girl's voice was still very angry. If she didn't wash sooner or later, she wouldn't be afraid to dry her clothes. This Li Haitang is such a fool.

"Take it with you if you like. Take it back to dry." The woman said directly.

"Bang!"

The wooden door outside was pushed open, and the two men who were stealing inside were trembling with fear. When they turned around, they saw a large group of people standing at the door, and the owner of the house, Li Haitang, was among them.

Li Haitang was so angry that her face turned white. She rushed over and pushed them away. She dumped all the things that they had put in their bags on the table. They were so brazen that they took everything that was slightly more valuable, not even her pencil case.

"You two thieves, we caught both of you today. Let's see what else you have to say." Li Haitang's small chest trembled in anger. His dark eyes looked at Li Yongchun at the door and pleaded, "Li Yongchun, please call your uncle over and tell him I caught the thief here and want to send him to the police station."

"Okay." Li Yongchun was tall and had long legs. He ran like a gust of wind and soon disappeared from view.

"Li Haitang, we, we are not thieves. We just came here to borrow something from you." It was Zhao Chunhua, the second aunt of the li family, and Li Lan, the eldest daughter, who stole the goods. Zhao Chunhua's legs were shaking with fear at the thought of being sent to the police station.

"Borrow something? Borrow it while I'm not home?" Li Haitang sarcastically picked up a bag of snacks and sneered, "Even snacks? Are you going to borrow it from your stomachs?"

"That's right, he didn't admit it even though he was stealing. There are so many of us here today. We caught you stealing with our own eyes. We caught both of you, and we even wanted to deny it. Zhao Chunhua, you are really shameless." Although Li Yongchun's mother had a lot of eyes, she was also an upright person, and she disliked this kind of sneaky person the most.

Li Yuanlin's eldest brother was captain Li Yuanhua. He was a pure farmer in the town. He was always a little angry. Today, he caught the thief himself. Suddenly, he felt a little proud and commanded his younger son, "Yongping, go get Li Jiangang and tell him that his wife and daughter were caught stealing outside."

"Oh, okay." Li yongping spread his legs and ran out.

"Li Haitang, I, we know we were wrong. Let us go." The second aunt of the li family was so embarrassed that she panicked.

Li Lan's face was obviously much thinner, and he started to cry with tears in his eyes. He shoved all the things in his hands into Li Haitang's arms. "I don't want your things anymore. I don't want to go to the police station. I don't want to go to jail. Woo... Woo... Woo..."

"You should have thought of the consequences before you stole. Do you think I should just cry and beg?" Li Haitang said with a strong attitude, the mother and daughter did not know how much they had stolen, but they had not been caught before. Today, she must give them a profound lesson.

Li Haitang ignored them and began to sort out the things that were bothered by them. She watched as they tore several pages of her painstakingly organized exam book. She was furious, "You steal things, and you tear up all my exam papers. You ruined my whole semester's work. Today, I will not finish with you."

She opened the closet and saw that it was empty. When she turned around, she found a big bag behind the door. She took it and it was her clothes. She poured all the clothes on the table for everyone to admire. Her small voice sounded like a cannon, "Are you two shameless? Come and borrow something? You borrowed all my clothes and didn't leave any? Even my school uniform?"

Li Haitang picked up one of the uniforms and threw it on Li Lan's face. As long as she saw someone else wearing nice clothes, her eyes glowed with greed. Every day, she thought about how to take it for herself. If she didn't teach her a lesson today, she would grow up to be a malignant tumor.

"It's such a shameful thing to do at such a young age. Your family's upbringing is really good. Hmph, there are two people in our li village, so we should close the door in the future, bah!" Li Yongchun's mother spat in a low voice, then turned to the second daughter next to her and took the opportunity to educate her, "Yongqing, don't play with this kind of thief in the future, and don't bring this kind of person into our house again, lest the good things in the family be missed."

Li yongqing was fourteen years old and was in the second year of junior high school. She was in the same grade as Li Lan but in different classes. When she heard her mother's words, she nodded her head seriously and looked at the crying Li Lan with a look of disgust and disgust.

I really didn't expect her to be such a person. Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind. The last time she lost a new eraser, could it be Li Lan who stole it? She remembered that li lan came to play with her before eraser brother, and now she found out the truth.

Not long after, captain Li Yuanhua hurried over, followed by a number of villagers who were watching the fun and guests who came to visit relatives for the new year.

They were caught stealing in other people's houses in broad daylight, but they still refused to admit it. It seemed that there was a lively show again, so they naturally did not want to nest by the fire.

Li Jiangang was at home chatting with his two uncles when li yongping suddenly barged in and explained the matter clearly. In the end, he added, "Uncle Jiangang, my uncle is over now. My father wants you to go now."

Li Jiangang's face turned green. He glanced at the two ugly uncles, put out the cigarette in his hand and strode out.

The second daughter Li Ya and the youngest son Li Hui, who were playing in the hall, naturally heard li yongping's words and chased after them in panic. No matter how young they were, they knew that if their mother and sister were sent to the police station, they would not be able to raise their heads in the future, and they would definitely be laughed down by their village friends and classmates.

It was only half an hour before the village was buzzing with excitement. Li Jianguo and his son, who were at home, also learned what had happened from the neighbors who had gone to watch the show. They immediately closed the door and followed them.

Li Haitang's hut was full of people outside, and there was no room to stand inside, but there were still a lot of people peering in through the window.

Li Jianguo and Li Tao had a hard time squeezing in from the outside. They saw all the scattered things on the table, even the quilt on the bed was thrown into a ball, and they all frowned. They knew that Li Haitang loved to be clean and tidy. The quilts on the bed were folded neatly every day, and they wouldn't throw them around so casually. It was obvious that someone had flipped them over.

Li Jianguo saw his second brother come in with a dark face and sighed deeply. Both of them had been unlucky for eight lifetimes before they married such an unreliable mother-in-law.

Li Yuanhua had known everything about this place for a long time. Seeing that li jian had just come over, he sighed and said, "Jiangang, look at what your family and daughter Li Lan have done. It's not only a disgrace to the village, it's also a disgrace to you. You work hard outside all year round to earn money. You get up early and work hard. You don't need them to eat, drink, and wear. You even make such a shameful thing to say. It's the spring festival. What do you think we should do now?"

"Woo... Dad, I don't want to go to the police station, I don't want to go to jail. Mom said Li Haitang made a lot of money. There must be something good at home. She brought me here." Li Lan cried and threw all the blame on her mother, trying to get rid of herself immediately.

The second aunt of the li family did not expect her daughter to do this at all. Her blushing face turned pale and her heart sank.

At this moment, Li Jiangang was very disappointed in his wife, and even more disappointed in this daughter, and gave Li Lan a hard slap on the backhand.

He was a hard worker, building walls on construction sites all year round, and his hands were especially strong. This slap made Li Lan dizzy, and a palm print was clearly imprinted on his delicate and fair face.

"Woo woo..." Li Lan was suddenly slapped, and now it really hurt, tears streaming down like a dam.

Li Yongchun's mother had occupied a good position in the room. Seeing this and taking the opportunity to educate her daughter, she said in a low voice, "Yongqing, have you seen it? Don't play with her in the future, lest you be led astray by her. Before we stood at the door and heard what both of them were saying, Li Lan even wanted to move haitang's book away, but now she's blaming her mother for everything. This kind of daughter should drown when she was born, and she has worked so hard to grow up that she actually raised a white-eyed wolf."

Li yongqing blinked as if she had remembered her words.

Li Yuanlin pushed his wife down and glanced sideways, "Why are you saying such things in front of yongqing? She's still a child. Don't scare her."

The onlookers actually thought the same thing as Li Yongchun's mother said. Raising such a daughter was indeed raising a white-eyed wolf. The family with a son drew a fork in their heart directly for li lan. Such a girl could not be married back as a daughter-in-law, otherwise, there would always be a day to take the blame for her.

Li Ya and Li Hui, who were lying on the window, were also embarrassed. How could their sister be such a person? How could she throw all the blame on her mother for herself? If mom went to jail, what would they do?

Li Ya was now 12 years old, so of course she was sensible. Her mother and sister often came back from outside to pour things, and she knew about it. She could eat whatever they brought back, so she simply turned a blind eye to it.

Li Hui, who was nine years old, was still young and confused. Today's incident had a huge impact on him. He was very uneasy and afraid that his mother would be sent to jail.

Li Jiangang found it especially embarrassing. He was a rough Man who worked hard outside to earn money every day, and didn't take care of his family's affairs. All year round, he had been busy with the farming season and at home for the new year. Now that his eldest daughter had been taught to look like this, he was probably as hopeless as his eldest brother's Li Ting, and his heart was filled with frustration.

Looking at his second brother, Li Jianguo felt as if he had seen himself. He married a careless woman and his family did not worry. He sighed deeply, looked at Li Haitang in the middle, and pleaded, "Haitang, they both learned a lesson. For dad's sake, forget it this time. It's the spring festival. Our li family doesn't look good when something like this happens."

Li Haitang frowned slightly. If she had her temper, she would have sent them to the police station to eat their meals today. But now that her father opened his mouth, she naturally could not hold on to it any longer.

Li Jiangang looked at his brother with a complicated expression and said apologetically, "Haitang, what they did was not honorable. I will teach them a lesson later and promise they won't do it again. I'll pay for what they destroyed. Do you think we can just let it go?"

When Li Yuanhua saw this, he glanced at the people outside and persuaded them, "Haitang, during the spring festival, many people from the neighboring villages came to visit the new year. Now that they all know what happened here today, their mother and daughter have lost all face. This is also punishment. Now that your father has spoken, your second uncle, uncle Jiangang, is a reasonable man. He said he would go back and teach them a lesson, and they would do it. Look, why don't we just turn the big thing into the small one?"

With so many people staring at her in unison and pleading, she naturally couldn't carry it anymore and agreed, "Okay. I won't pursue this matter anymore. Except for one of the exam books that was torn, the others were not broken and there was no need to pay for it. If there were another time, I wouldn't be so easy to talk to. The atmosphere in our village is relatively simple. This sneaky behavior should not be encouraged so as not to spoil the other children in the village."

"Yes, you are right. This kind of atmosphere should not be encouraged. Jiangang, if you take them back by yourself, you should teach them a lesson. You have two younger ones in your family, so that they won't be corrupted." Li Yuanhua warned with a straight face.

"Okay, I got it." Li Jiangang grabbed the cowering mother-in-law and dragged her out. King kong glared at his crying daughter. "Li Lan, get back here."

After their family left, the onlookers left one after another. Li Tao helped Li Haitang clean up the house, talked to him, and followed his father home.
