40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

"Mom, there are quite a few thieves in the village. They have stolen food from many households. We have caught a few of them and are interrogating them now!"

"Has the food in Yun Feifei's house been stolen?" Yun Jiaojiao interjected.

[We can’t take it anyway, it would be best if it is stolen and they starve to death!] Yun Jiaojiao cursed in her heart.

Yun Chengye shook his head. "I don't know about that. I was afraid that you would worry, so I rushed back."

"Okay, there's nothing to do now, everyone go back to your rooms and go to sleep!" Yun Chengye urged.

I'm tired after a long day today. I'm sleepy! As he said this, he walked towards his room, yawning.

"Stealing food... catching thieves..."

Wang Yulan kept muttering to herself over and over again, as if she had figured something out. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and her mouth grinned.

"Tell me, were the money and food stolen from our house before done by the same group of people?"

After she said this, she felt it was more and more likely. At the same time, she made a decision in her heart that even if their things were not stolen by the thieves tonight, she would still blame them and make them make up for their losses.

Yun Chengye stopped and pondered what Wang Yulan said, then turned around and looked at his mother. "Mom, what you said makes sense. You are smart. Why didn't I think of it?"

Yun Chengye flattered his mother and was very happy. He wondered if he could get the money back. Then he...

When the others heard grandma say this, they all thought it was very likely, and everyone had different thoughts.

[More than a thousand dollars! It’s not too much for her to ask grandma for a few dollars to buy a dress and shoes. The last time she went to the department store...] - The second child, Yun Jiaojiao.

[Now that the money is back, he can go to Pan Di’s house to propose marriage...] - The eldest brother Yun Guozhu.

[Now that I have money, can I build a new house? A bigger and more beautiful house than the one I live in now? It would make Xiaopang so angry. Who made him laugh at me for occupying someone else's house?] - The third brother, Yun Guobang.

[Meat, chicken, fat, I want to eat my fill every time!!] — The fourth child, Yun Guoqiang.

[Mother is so rich, I will buy some perfume powder and ointment, it won’t be too much, right? Although it is expensive, mother can afford these few dollars!! Then can I get back the more than 30 dollars I lost? ]——Chen Yanli.

No one knows whether to get the money back or not, and everyone has started to think of all kinds of ideas.

Wang Yulan: The money is mine, don’t even think about it!!!

"Son, is there no danger outside?" Wang Yulan asked.

Seeing Yun Chengye nod, he took the lead and said, "Let's go, what are we waiting for? Let's go and ask those thieves for money."

Wang Yulan led everyone to the open space in a hurry, making the atmosphere, which was tending to be calm, become noisy again.

……

It was unknown whether the younger brothers and sisters fell asleep that night. Yun Feifei had already adapted to the noisy environment and slept until dawn.

Yun Feifei was cooking breakfast in the kitchen. Yun Guohua, who had just returned from fetching water, brought her a piece of news.

"Big sister, grandma... the thief in Wang Yulan's house has been caught!"

When Yun Feifei heard Yun Guohua say this, she subconsciously looked at the ocean she had stored in the space.

The money was well hidden in her space, and she was not caught. What did Guohua mean by this? ? ?

Yun Feifei looked straight at Yun Guohua and said, "Explain clearly!"

"Wasn't there a thief in the village yesterday..."

After listening to Yun Guohua's story, Yun Feifei suddenly realized.

It turned out that Wang Yulan and her gang blamed their lost properties on the thieves they caught last night.

After one night, the village chief learned from the captured thieves that they were gangsters from the town and several nearby villages.

This group of people get together every day and do all kinds of sneaky things. There has been a serious food shortage recently and their lives are not easy.

Almost every household had sold or killed all the poultry at home, so they couldn't even find a place to steal a chicken to satisfy their hunger.

Yun Chenggui, one of the people in the group, was from Yunjia Village. When they gathered together the day after the locust plague, Yun Chenggui mentioned that every household in the village was catching locusts as food reserves.

At that time, the news that locusts tasted delicious after being roasted had not yet spread throughout the village, so Yun Chenggui simply told it as a joke, and his family did not catch locusts to store.

After a day of wandering outside, he returned home at night and found out that his family had also joined the locust catching team. After he took the roasted locusts from his family and ate them, he couldn't stop.

Of course he would share the good stuff with his brothers, so when he went out the next day, he brought a few strings of locusts to share with his brothers.

After the brothers had eaten, they got down to work for the first time that day and looked for a place to catch locusts. Unfortunately, they were late in catching locusts and did not have many in stock.

Yun Chenggui and his brothers processed the locusts according to the method he heard from home, and gathered together to roast the insects to eat.

After a few days of consumption, this group of hooligans quickly ate all the bugs. With nothing to do and hungry, they set their sights on the reserve grain stored in every household in Yunjia Village.

With Yun Chenggui taking the lead, he is familiar with every household in the village!

So he brought his brothers to Yunjia Village to steal things that night.

This is why the gangsters did not stop when they entered the village.

The reason why Yun Feifei and other orphans' homes attracted thieves was because of the last time Wang Yulan and her gang stole grain, which made people know that they had a lot of grain stored at home.

Everyone knew that there was a traitor named Yun Chenggui, and they were all looking for him, but he was nowhere to be found in the village or at his home.

Yun Chenggui took advantage of his familiarity with Yunjia Village and escaped quickly last night.

This was a hard time for his family, as they had to endure the anger of the villagers and be chased to return their stolen things.

There were a lot of thugs who came to steal things yesterday, and they were scattered across so many houses. The thugs had no idea how much was stolen from each house!

Several villagers whose households were visited by thieves falsely reported a large amount of food, hoping to make a profit from it.

As for the theft in Wang Yulan's home, Wang Yulan and her family came to the gangsters in a threatening manner last night, but the gangsters of course denied it!

But in order to get the money back and fulfill their wish, the family of course put all their efforts into dealing with this group of thugs!
