After listening to Wen Shutang's explanation, Wen Yaoshi suddenly realized: "My little sister is really smart."

Wen Shutang took out two cloth bags from his waist and handed them to Wen Ruizhou and Wen Yaoshi respectively: "Brother, this is the wages for the past three days, a total of 24 taels. We are all family, don't hesitate, you must accept it."

She took the initiative and stopped the two from saying no.

Wen Ruizhou glanced at Xiao Yizhuo who was sitting in front of him and spoke hesitantly.

"this..."

"It's okay, big brother. This is a decision made by both of us. Just accept it with confidence." Wen Shutang saw his hesitation and knew that he was afraid that Xiao Yizhuo would be unhappy, so he explained immediately.

When Xiao Yizhuo heard the noise, he guessed the two brothers' reactions.

"Take it, uncle. This is what you should do."

After hearing what Xiao Yizhuo said, the two brothers were speechless and each accepted their own wages.

Wen Ruizhou weighed the heavy cloth bag in his hand, and he couldn't tell what he felt. His little sister seemed to have grown up in an instant.

The carriage went back to Da'an Village without stopping. Wen Ruizhou was eager to return home after not seeing his pregnant wife for three days.

The two Wen brothers said goodbye to Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo and returned home.

Wen Ruizhou started calling out before he even entered the house: "Wife, I'm back."

"Dad, Mom?" Wen Yaoshi also shouted and then pushed open the half-open door.

The two brothers looked at each other. The door was usually either locked or closed, and it had never been left ajar like this.

The two men suddenly had a bad premonition and rushed into the yard to see a scene that made their blood flow backwards.

Liu Sufen and Wen Qing both fell to the ground unconscious. There were several steaming dishes on the table in the yard.

It looked like a family was about to have a meal but was suddenly interrupted by someone.

Wen Ruizhou seemed to have thought of something and ran into the house like crazy.

He searched every room but couldn't find Zhou Tong, and a huge panic suddenly enveloped his heart.

Wen Yaoshi also realized the seriousness of the matter. He carried Liu Sufen and Wen Qing to the bed, and only went to find Wen Ruizhou after making sure they were settled.

Wen Ruizhou was already panicked at this time, standing there in a daze, completely not knowing what to do.

It was only when Wen Yaoshi shook his shoulder in time that he came back to his senses.

"Brother, don't panic. There must be a way to solve the problem. You go find my younger sister first. She may have a solution. I'll go find a doctor. I don't know if my parents are okay." Wen Yaoshi said calmly.

Wen Ruizhou finally reacted and nodded immediately: "Okay, then I'll go to my little sister's house first."

After saying that, they both turned around and left the house, separating at the gate of the courtyard.

When Wen Shutang returned home, he was also stunned by the scene before him.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw the messy yard. The chicken coop had been violently dismantled, and two chicks were lying on the ground, dead.

The nest that Xiao Yizhuo made for the two rabbits was also destroyed, and no one knew where the rabbits had run off to.

Xiao Wan walked forward anxiously to check. She had always been the one feeding these little animals carefully, and now they were being treated so badly. She felt extremely distressed.

Sensing someone approaching, the remaining chicks hiding in the corner screamed in panic.

Seeing that so many chicks were still uninjured, Xiao Wan felt a little relieved. But when he saw the two chicks that had been killed, his eyes suddenly turned red with sadness.

Xiao Yizhuo also frowned, wondering what was going on in this tragic scene.

Wen Shutang walked quickly into the house, and sure enough, the scene inside was just as tragic.

The closets were opened, all the clothes were thrown on the floor, and the newly bought clothes they had bought were slashed with a knife.

Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan were heartbroken when they saw their new clothes, which they had only worn a few times, were ruined like this.

"Who on earth did this to my new clothes?" Xiao Ye pursed his lips and was about to cry.

Wen Shutang walked to the closet and looked through all the things inside.

Judging from the situation, this person probably wanted to steal the silver. Fortunately, all the family belongings were carried by her closely.

"It looks like he's here to steal silver." Xiao Yizhuo said in a low voice.

He also thought of this possibility. Before Wen Shutang could speak, they heard a sound coming from outside.

"Little sister!"

When the two walked out, they saw Wen Ruizhou standing in the middle of the yard, looking around with a look of surprise on his face.

"Have thieves entered your place as well?"

"Also? What happened to my parents?" Wen Shutang grasped the key point of his words and frowned immediately.

Wen Ruizhou's face was dejected. "When your second brother and I returned home, we saw our parents lying unconscious on the ground. Your sister-in-law was nowhere to be found. Yao Shi has already gone to ask a doctor. I originally wanted you to help me think of a solution, but it seems that your family is not in a good situation either."

Wen Shutang was stunned. Zhou Tong was missing?

"Mom, here's a note!" Xiao Wan ran out anxiously holding a not very big note.

Wen Shutang took it and read the contents aloud in a low voice.

"If you want to save people, this evening, you bitch, bring a hundred taels of silver and come to the cave in the back mountain to find me alone. Don't report to the police! Otherwise, there will be two deaths!"

Wen Ruizhou almost fainted after hearing this. Wasn’t the two dead bodies referring to Zhou Tong who was pregnant?

The handwriting is crooked and it seems that the person who wrote it is not very good at using a pen.

Wen Shutang actually already had a guess in her mind. There was only one person who had a conflict with her recently and who could write a little.

She took off the cloth bag from her waist and said, "I can still get one hundred taels of silver."

"Little sister, we can't go. Let's report to the police." Wen Ruizhou's face turned pale.

"We can't report it to the police. My sister-in-law should be safe now. If we report it to the police, it might really anger this person."

Wen Shutang touched her chin and said that she had never expected that a kidnapping would happen.

Xiao Yizhuo stared at her closely: "I'll go."

She shook her head. "No way. This person is obviously coming for me. If it were someone else, something unimaginable might happen."

Wen Ruizhou looked at his sister in front of him and made an extremely difficult decision. On one side was his beloved sister whom he had doted on since childhood, and on the other side was his beloved wife who was pregnant with his child.

No matter which side he chose, he would feel extremely uncomfortable. He took a deep breath, looked at Wen Shutang with deep powerlessness in his eyes, and bowed to Wen Shutang.

"Little sister, maybe it's a bit shameless to say this, but I still want to say, please use this hundred taels to save her. I will definitely return it to you in the future. Just think of it as saving the nephew in her belly."

"Brother, what are you talking about? I will definitely save my sister-in-law. Get up quickly." Wen Shutang was startled and quickly helped him up.

"I was in such a mess before, thanks to the help of my eldest brother and sister-in-law. My eldest sister-in-law is a good person, I know it, and we are a family, so don't be so distant."
