Chapter 85 - 85 - Thieves in the Family
Su Jin Xuan rolled his eyes at Leng Qian Ye, obviously not intending to answer his question.
"Is there something wrong with your head?" Or were you scared senseless just now? " Su Jin Xuan said coldly.
Hearing Su Jin Xuan's answer, Mo Xiao Yan had already understood it very clearly. He simply could not understand what Su Jin Xuan meant, which meant that the words he said just now were just a coincidence.
"Sigh, that's right. I'm already confused." Mo Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at Su Jin Xuan and said.
He had been out for so long, yet he still hadn't bought it back. Since he had already gotten the money bag, he might as well hurry up and buy the meat.
"Thank you for just now. I'll be leaving first since I have other things to do. Come to the shop when you have time. I'll treat you guys to some barbecue." Mo Xiao Yan said generously.
Su Jin Xuan did not speak. After Leng Qian Ye said a few words, he quickly went to buy something.
After being delayed for such a long time, it was already too late to buy good meat, so he could only return empty-handed. Since it was already getting late, he might as well pack up and head back.
Back in the shop, Mo Lin Yu was wiping the table, while the Lee's was sweeping the floor.
"Mom, I couldn't buy it when I went out just now. That meat isn't so good." Mo Xiao Yan did not want to say that the money bag had been stolen, and then chased after the thief. He did not want to reveal it to his family members because he did not want them to worry about him.
"It's fine. Let's pack up and go back. There aren't many people on the street now anyway." Lee's had already begun cleaning up.
When he returned home, he found the courtyard door open. The house was a mess, as if someone had just robbed it.
"What's going on? Did a thief enter the house? " The Lee's said loudly.
"Let's see if there's anything missing at home." Mo Da Lin entered the room first.
Mo Xiao Yan looked around the room and realized that he did not lose anything. Fortunately, the silver was hidden very well so ordinary people would not notice it.
Today was the day that he won some great prize. He was robbed on the streets, and when he returned home, his family was also robbed, and now they were all being chased together.
"I don't know yet. Let me take a look first." Lee's looked at the things in the room very carefully, afraid that he would lose them.
"Xiao Yan, did you lose anything in your room?" came out and asked.
"I didn't lose anything, did you lose anything in your room, sister-in-law?" Mo Xiao Yan asked.
"I lost dozens of copper coins." Liu Yue Mei said with pain in his heart.
Hearing that he had lost dozens of copper coins, he didn't have much. It seemed like this thief had come for the money. Luckily, he was smart enough to hide the money. Only he could find it.
When Lee's heard Liu Yue Mei say that he had lost dozens of copper coins, he immediately said with a pained expression: "Yue Mei, you lost dozens? "Why don't you put it in hiding?"
Although Lee's felt bad for these copper coins, he didn't have any intention to blame Liu Yue Mei.
"Mom, I lost more than thirty." Although Liu Yue Mei's heart ached, but he had already lost it, and there was nothing he could do.
After checking for a long time, he didn't lose anything in the Lee's's room. A person who was as careful as Lee's usually wouldn't put money in a conspicuous place, so he didn't lose anything.
A few people sat there, not even bothering to cook.
"Who do you think this is, coming to steal things from my house?" Lee's just could not figure it out.
If he didn't catch this thief, he would probably go to the town every day and not be at home. This house was in tatters and it wouldn't be able to hold anything back.
"Mom, do you think they might be from the village?" Mo Xiao Yan was only guessing, he did not dare make a judgement.
"I think they're probably from our village. Otherwise, how would they know that we weren't home at that time? They must have known us." Mo Lin Yu thought so too, but he didn't know who it was.
"That makes sense. Who the hell is that? Even our family wouldn't dare to put anything down from now on." The Lee's was worried.
"Why don't we leave one person at home to look after it?" Lee's thought that it would be better to have someone at home.
"Leave who?" Mo Da Lin wanted to stay in the house, but since the shop was very busy, he decided not to stay there every day.
"It's just that the store is very busy right now, and there's only one person left at home. I wonder if the store will be able to manage to get here." Liu Yue Mei also wanted to stay at home and wait for them to come back from the town for a warm meal.
"Why don't we all go to town tomorrow and come back and see if we can still come back and steal from home?" Mo Xiao Yan felt that the thief had only stolen a few tens of copper coins, and would probably be back soon.
He must have been at home for a long time and was worried that his family would return, so he didn't search carefully before leaving.
"That's fine too, I'll go and cook. We'll have a look when we come back tomorrow." Lee's's heart was in turmoil, it was the first time a thief had entered his house.
The next day, after breakfast, the family drove the oxcart to town.
However, what Mo Xiao Yan and the rest did not realize was that right after they left, a person walked out from a big tree not far from the front of the courtyard. This person was someone Mo Xiao Yan and the others recognized, and he was someone they were very familiar with.
After a few moments, he opened the courtyard door and stared at the two of them who had just left. No one had expected to see them again so early in the morning.
After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, he quietly closed the courtyard door and went in to rummage through the items.
Mo Xiao Yan and the others who were already halfway there had no idea that a thief had already entered their house.
When they finished their work in the afternoon, Lee's was still very worried.
"The child's father, why don't we close the door early today and return." Lee's came out of the kitchen and asked.
"It's still early? There are a lot of people on the streets. " Mo Da Lin didn't know that the Lee's was worried about his family.
"Why are you so stupid? We should go back earlier. What if there's more thieves at home?" Lee's hid the purse very well, but it was still at home. What if the thief found it?
"Okay, I will ask Xiao Yan." Mo Da Lin thought that it was still alright, he should still go back to take a look earlier.
At the moment, Mo Xiao Yan was sitting there counting his coins. Seeing Mo Da Lin coming over, he stopped counting.
"Father, what's wrong?" Mo Xiao Yan looked at Mo Da Lin, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"Xiao Yan, why don't we close the door early today? Father is worried about us …"
Mo Xiao Yan obviously knew what Mo Da Lin was worried about.
"Dad, let's quickly pack up. Once we're done, let's go back." Mo Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Sigh, alright then. Let's clean up now." After receiving Mo Xiao Yan's reply, Mo Da Lin quickly went to clean up.
After he was done, he drove the oxcart back.
However, how could the oxcart be faster than the horse carriage? Lee's sat on the oxcart anxiously, hoping to get home immediately, but that was not realistic.
