Chapter 436: Catching a Thief

Translator: Lonelytree

The salary was high, and the food was good. Many people were envious and jealous of those who could work with Lin Yuelan’s family. Therefore, they didn’t care if Lin Yuelan was a jinx or not. They just wanted to work.

As a matter of fact, many villagers went to Lin Yiwei’s house to get him to introduce them to work for Lin Yuelan.

“Village chief, look at me. My whole family relies on me to support them. Can you help me and let me work at that girl’s house?” A short man with a pointed mouth and ape-like cheeks pleaded with Lin Yiwei.

In fact, his purpose was not to work but to sneak in to get food and money.

Lin Yiwei rolled his eyes and scolded the man sternly, “Lin Youcai, do you have any shame? I don’t see you taking care of the family. You’re always idling around and leaving the farm work to your 60-year-old grandmother and five-year-old son. Now you have the face to say that your family relies on you?

“Don’t think that I don’t know your purpose. You just want to scam Lan ‘Er. I’m telling you, no way!”

Lin Youcai was rejected openly. His face immediately turned ugly, and he no longer spoke to Lin Yiwei in a good tone. He said in disdain, “It’s her fortune that I would work for her. That wretched girl is a nemesis. Do you think I want to work there? People working there will be jinxed to death!” After that, he left Lin Yiwei’s house with a livid face.

Lin Youcai was a scoundrel and a ruffian, and he often did things like stealing.

This time, he had his eyes on Lin Yuelan’s house construction.

Lin Yiwei looked at Lin Youcai and sighed. “It seems that I have to remind Lan ‘Er not to be tricked by this man.”

Then, Lin Yiwei went to find Lin Yuelan.

Hearing Lin Yiwei’s reminder, Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “thank you, Grandpa village chief. I understand!”

The night was pitch-black.

At this moment, everyone was deep in their sleep.

Outside the wall of Lin Yuelan’s construction site, three figures were sneakily pacing back and forth. If someone paid attention, they would see two ladders against the wall.

“Lin Youcai, are you sure that there’s a lot of meat here?” A black figure lowered his head and asked in a low voice.

“I’m sure. They’ve been cooking here every day, so the meat must be hidden here. ” Lin Youcai said.

“Is there no one guarding this place?” The other one asked doubtfully.

Lin Youcai replied, “don’t worry. I’ve already asked around. Although there are people guarding this place every day, we just need to make the first move and knock them out.”

One of them climbed up and moved the ladder over. Then, the three of them climbed up the ladder one by one.

Their movements were very careful and did not seem to alarm anyone.

After that, the three of them sneaked into the shed in the dark.

As soon as they entered, they looked around carefully to see if there was really someone guarding the shed. However, they couldn’t find anyone.

They were relieved. Then, they quietly opened the lighter and went to find the place where the meat was hidden.

They quickly found three large vats. The three of them opened them up and lit them up with a match. After that, they were so happy that they almost cried out in surprise.

Because there were three large vats. One was filled with water, one was filled with rice, and the other was the meat they were looking for.

“Let’s take all the rice and meat away. ”

Although the vat was big, the three of them were men, so they still had some strength.

It wouldn’t take much effort to take these things away.

The three of them immediately opened the cloth bag they had brought and stuffed it with the meat first, then the rice. In a short while, they had put all the meat in the bag. There was still a little rice left in the big vat, so the three of them took off their clothes and packed the rest of the rice.

“Let’s be careful. Don’t alert anyone.”

The three of them carried a large sack and a small cloth bag hanging on their chest. They ran carefully and hurriedly in the direction of the ladder.

The three of them carried the sacks and climbed up the ladder. Then, they managed to carry the meat and rice over the wall.
