40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

After everyone went home and checked, they found that a lot of food was missing from the homes that had been visited by thieves.

The farmers living at the entrance of the village lost the most food, and it cannot be recovered.

The closer the villagers were to the interior, the less food was lost at home; some even found their lost food on the road.

It seemed that when the thieves were moving the grain out of the village, a commotion occurred, so they threw the grain away and tried to escape.

The villagers found traces of wheels and horseshoe prints not far from the entrance of the village.

We found out that the thieves came with a horse-drawn carriage to load supplies, and when there was a commotion in the village, some thieves escaped with the carriage.

The villagers who had lost their food gathered in an open space and asked the captured thieves where the food had gone.

There wasn't much food left at home, and it was stolen by thieves. How could I not be anxious?

It was just past one in the morning and there was no damage in Yun Feifei's home, so she said hello, asked Yun Guohua to lock the door, and went back to her room to sleep.

As for the new house, Wang Yulan and her son spent a whole day looking for it and asked several families, but no one was interested in buying the house.

No matter how good or cheap the house the mother and son said was, no one was interested for the time being.

Houses are cheap now, but they still cost money!

It would be better to buy more food and save it with this money!

Shortly after his wife fell asleep that night, Yun Chengye sneaked out of the house and went to Widow Wang's house.

Widow Wang had lost her husband and was living with a two-year-old child. She could not bear the hardship of working in the fields, so she rented out her land to others to farm, and collected the rent to barely make ends meet.

Of course, her current life cannot be compared with when her man was around.

In order to satisfy her own needs, she fell in love with Yun Chengye, who was well-off, and after a few encounters, the two of them became lovers.

Yun Chengye did some private work in his spare time, and never handed over the money he earned to Wang Yulan. In addition, he could also get money from Wang Yulan from time to time with various excuses. How could he not have enough money on hand?

Yun Chengye would give money or buy some rare items to visit Widow Wang, and Widow Wang began to have an unclear relationship with Yun Chengye.

Since the drought, Yun Chengye has been able to find less and less work. Fortunately, he can still get money from his mother so that he can spend it with Widow Wang.

But after his house was robbed, his source of income was cut off, and he had no extra money to spend.

After failing to gain any benefits from Yun Chengye several times, Widow Wang became increasingly indifferent towards him.

Just when Widow Wang was about to end her relationship with Yun Chengye, Yun Chengye revealed to her the news that he was going to sell the house, and he would have money in his hands again.

After hearing the news, Widow Wang temporarily stopped the relationship.

When there was a noise in the village, Yun Chengye was so scared that he thought someone was coming to catch him committing adultery!

After all, what he is doing now is not something that can be seen in public, and he will be in big trouble if he is discovered by others.

He hurriedly put on his clothes, opened the gate a little and looked out. There were people surging outside and making a lot of noise, but it didn't look like they were coming here.

Yun Chengye breathed a sigh of relief, and while no one was paying attention, he opened the gate and walked out.

Yun Chengye mingled in the crowd, trying to understand the whole story. He knew that a thief had broken into the village. He wondered what had happened at home. He thought they must have been woken up by the noise. Thinking of this, he hurried towards home.

Chen Yanli was awakened by the noisy noise. When she woke up, she found that her husband was not there and the door was closed.

I reached out and touched the place where he slept. It was cold. When did he get up? Where did he go?

Before she could think about it, she heard messy footsteps outside the door, and then the voices of her children talking. She got dressed and opened the door.

"Guozhu, what's going on outside? Why is there so much noise?" He turned his head and looked around, "Have you seen your father?"

"Isn't Daddy in the room?" Yun Jiaojiao asked.

"Listen to the noise, someone is catching a thief outside!" Yun Guozhu replied.

"What? You said the eldest brother is not in the room?" Wang Yulan pressed further when she heard her daughter-in-law ask this.

"I didn't see him when I woke up!"

"Grandma, Mom, I see the gate is not locked. Did Dad go out to get information?"

"Oh, it's pitch black outside. I don't know what's going on. Why should he join in the fun? What if he gets hurt?" Wang Yulan was extremely anxious, worried about her son's safety.

Chen Yanli listened to what her mother said, but why did she feel something was wrong?

When the children heard what their grandmother said, they stopped talking. They were all afraid that their grandmother would ask them to go out and find their father.

For a moment, the room became quiet.

"Crack-"

A strange noise startled several people. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it came from outside the door. The expressions of several people in the yard suddenly became panic-stricken.

[Who is outside? Could it be a thief? ]

When Yun Chengye hurried back home in the dark,

He touched the door handle cautiously as usual, but couldn't open the door. He knew someone must have locked the door from the inside.

"Open the door!!"

"who???"

The voices inside and outside the courtyard rang out at the same time.

"It's me, open the door!"

Wang Yulan raised her hand and slapped Yun Jiaojiao, who was closest to her, "It's your father who's back. Go open the door!"

The unsuspecting Yun Jiaojiao was almost knocked down by her grandmother's sudden slap.

Yun Guozhu, who was brought back to his senses by the noises of his grandma and Jiaojiao, went to open the door.

Yun Chengye came in quickly and locked the door.

When Wang Yulan saw her son coming back, she walked up to him, slapped him on the back, and then walked around him.

"Son, are you okay? Why are you out here joining in the fun?"

As soon as Yun Chengye entered the door, he saw the whole family gathered in the yard, and his mother came up and slapped him directly, which made him feel a little nervous.

He thought that his affair with the widow had been exposed, and thought that it was a good thing that it was exposed. He could take the woman in, and then he wouldn't have to be so sneaky in the future.

After hearing what his mother said, Yun Chengye knew that he had misunderstood. The truth was not exposed, but his mother was too anxious and slapped him.

He is feeling very complicated now. Some of his family members are relieved, but he also secretly wants them to know so that he doesn't have to be so sneaky.

Widow Wang: You haven’t asked me if I agree or not!

【Why--】

Yun Chengye sighed in his heart and quickly replied, otherwise he would get slapped again!!

"Hey, Mom, I saw that everything was fine outside, so I went out to find out what was going on!!"

Wang Yulan raised her hand and tapped him on the forehead.

Yun Chengye raised his head and covered his forehead in pain, complaining to Wang Yulan, "Mom, I'm already this old, and the children are still here, can you please give me some face?"

"Then why don't you tell me! What's going on outside?"
