The Security Director saw Liu Chunhe and pointed at him in surprise, “Liu Chunhe? Why are you here?”
Liu Chunhe wanted nothing more than to die at that very moment, but since Dawang had injured him only in the head and the backside, he was unable to meet his desired end.
Lin Lan looked at Han Qingsong and then directed her gaze at the Security Director. Finally, he said to Han Qingyun,”Qingyun, based on your opinion, do you want to let Uncle Head Secretary handle this?”
Han Qingsong said, “We can leave them in the yard for now; let’s talk when it’s daylight.”
Once he said so, naturally, no one else had any other objection.
However, Liu Chunhe felt that Han Qingsong was taking revenge and was deliberately leaving them here to suffer.
And since Han Qingsong was here, there was really nothing to worry about. Hence, the Security Director went back as it was still dark outside.
When Han Qingyun left, he looked at the injuries that were implemented on the aspiring thieves, “Sigh, how disappointing. I’ll say, you guys truly have a ton of guts to be able to come to the Shanzui Village and be up to no good. My father will definitely not forgive any of you when tomorrow comes.”
The robbery was attempted at night— a time where both wife and children were all at home. If Han Qingsong hadn’t returned, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Even if these people were not condemned to death, they could not escape from life’s punishments either.
After they left, Lin Lan had the children return to bed first. Since this happened in the middle of the night, although it was alright for adults, children wouldn’t be able to take it.
“Your father is back so it’s safe. All of you hurry and go to bed.”
Sanwang slept restfully and deeply; he probably wouldn’t even wake up should there be a heavy thunderstorm going on outside.
Lin Lan also said, “Thankfully, Dawang was at home. Otherwise, things could have been different.”
Although she was not afraid of what was to come, Dawang’s actions just now really gave her a form of reassurance.
In fact, after she suspected it that very day, she paid attention to her surroundings. Not only did she report it to the Security Director, but she also made arrangements at home.
The small courtyard’s door was merely closed before, but now, she had a lock and it latched the door shut. It was also hung with broken iron pieces at night for it to ring should someone try to open the door without permission at night.
She didn’t hide this from the children and even told them about her suspicions. Maisui didn’t notice the difference, but Erwang agreed that the house had definitely been turned over.
So, they made the preparations together with Lin Lan.
She slept lightly after that. Since the thieves’ movements weren’t the smallest, it was more than audible.
After that, she got up and prepared the wooden pole. Once Dawang heard some noises, he proceeded to get up as well.
Big sticks, long wooden rakes, two-pronged hooks and hoes were already prepared in the house.
The enemy opened the door and came in, but the door was narrow and only one person could enter at a time. Dawang could fight, so he took the first move, hitting the man with a stick when the culprit was not prepared. The second one rushed in and Lin Lan immediately used the long-handled wooden rake to attack the opponent at once. Since she made him immobile, Dawang finished him off with his own weapon.
Should there come a third victim, the mother-son duo would do the same.
However, they concluded that thieves wouldn’t be that stubborn. Normally, once they encountered some form of situation like this, they would immediately scatter and run away.
