"What evidence do you need? It's obviously..."

There was an uproar in the crowd, with everyone talking at once, and the noise was giving people a headache.

The head of the village frowned and rubbed his temple. "Okay, stop arguing. Let's think of a way to catch them red-handed and force them to admit it. If you go to their doorstep and make a scene now, you'll be scolded out."

The crowd suddenly became quiet. What the headman said made sense. Everyone looked at each other, and no one could come up with a solution.

After a long silence, the aunt couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you make a noise? You become mute at the critical moment. Think quickly."

Nier looked up at everyone. It seemed that no one could think of a way to find evidence. She might as well share her own ideas, maybe they could inspire others to think differently.

"Everyone listen to me."

Under normal circumstances, there would be people who would say something too much, and the little kids would just go and play. But this was Ni'er, who had come back to life, received the county magistrate's calligraphy, and made money by making tofu, so her words were definitely worth listening to.

Some people thought that if it was really done by Niu Lao Da and Niu Lao Er, Ni'er was a real relative of theirs, so how could she not be biased? But when they thought that Niu Lao San's crops were also trampled, they felt a little relieved. They must have hated it to death.

Feeling the gazes on him, he blurted out his thoughts, "There aren't many crops trampled in each family's field. If they really want to destroy it, they will come again later."

"So as long as we keep an eye on them and keep an eye on the crops, we will definitely be able to catch them."

What you said does make sense and is a good method, but I just don’t have the energy to keep staring at it like this.

"I can't stay in the fields every day. There is still a lot of work to do at home."

"Yeah, how can you see it?"

The aunt waved her hand and said, "Listen to me, everyone. We have to catch them. Otherwise, the crops will be trampled and we will have nothing to eat next year."

Now no one can refute it. No matter how busy you are or how little energy you have, things must be done.

"There are only two of them. We have so many people. We can take turns guarding them. There is no fear that we won't catch them."

Everyone agreed with this approach, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would catch him soon.

Others suggested marking the fallen seedlings to avoid confusion as to whether they had just been stepped on or were stepped on before.

After agreeing on the time each family would spend guarding the crops and marking them, they returned home.

With more people, there are more ways to deal with it. Nier thinks this way of dealing with it is very good.

Yan Zi was mending clothes on the kang, and she looked up from time to time to see why the father and son had not returned yet.

Nier ran a few steps and entered the door first. Knowing that her mother had been thinking about her, she shouted, "We are back."

Yan Zi put down her work and wanted to go to the kitchen to serve the meal, but Niu Li held her back and said, "I'll go."

The rice and dishes were quickly arranged, and the third brother and Ni'er washed their hands and went straight to the table to eat.

The two of them didn't even have time to talk. They wolfed down the food because they were very hungry.

Niu Li poured two cups of water and placed them next to them, fearing that they would choke while eating.

After swallowing the last bite of food and drinking some water to quench my thirst, I finally had time to talk.

Niu Li took advantage of the opportunity to ask the question that everyone was concerned about, "What did the village head grandfather say?"

The third brother met Yan Zi's expectant eyes and said, "I've thought of a way. We'll take turns to watch the fields. I wonder if we can catch those people."

Yan Zi suddenly felt distressed. The third brother was so busy every day, and he still had to go to the fields to watch over them. "How long does it take every day? What time do you go?"

"We have a lot of people, and each person is only responsible for half an hour. The time arranged is just when I work in the afternoon. When I heard the news, I almost laughed out loud."

Ni'er saw that her mother seemed slightly relieved and knew there was no need to say anything more.

Yan Zi was indeed relieved, her eyes became firm, "Okay, then you have to keep a close eye on them, you can't let them go, it's really a lack of virtue."

The third brother laughed at his wife's reaction, then quickly calmed down and said seriously, "My wife is right, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

The second child's ears were hot and a little red, and he felt very happy. He didn't know who was thinking about him and was mumbling there. He really wanted to hear what they were saying.

The second son's wife felt very disgusted when she saw him like this. She didn't know whether to laugh or not, and pretended not to see it. If she didn't see it, she wouldn't be annoyed.

After a short rest and regaining his energy, the second brother looked at the door and saw that the eldest brother was free, so he decided to discuss with him how to eat before the autumn harvest.

Wearing slippers, he walked into the eldest brother's room and sat down on the kang. "Brother, I have something to discuss with you."

The boss didn't even raise his head. "What's the matter?"

He casually threw off his shoes, crossed his legs, stretched out a finger, inserted it into his nostrils, and started digging. "We are out of food. We have to find a way to get something to eat. Do you have any ideas, brother?"

The eldest brother sighed and wondered if he could ask his third brother to borrow some food, but he guessed he wouldn't agree.

His brows furrowed, his hands on his thighs tugging at his pants, "I don't have any good ideas, how about going to find the third brother and try?"

The second son thought that the worst that could happen was that he could borrow some food from his sister. She usually wore such good clothes, so how could she not have enough to eat?

Besides, my elder brother had sold her materials for a lot of money, so it would be unacceptable for him to have no surplus food. It would not be too much to lend him some food.

It’s just that the second brother didn’t want to pay for the ox cart ride. Besides, it was only right and reasonable that he should inform the other party after selling the material and paying the debt.

Remove your finger from your nostril and flick the scoop out with your thumb.

"Brother, I was thinking whether I should ask my sister to... borrow some food. Her family will not be short of food."

The eldest brother's legs were drooping under the kang, swaying slightly, and his arms were tucked into his sleeves. "Okay, go ahead. I'll go talk to the third brother."

The second brother rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, it's better for you to borrow from your sister. I'll go talk to the third brother. After all, you got so much material from them before, you have to tell them what the result is."

The eldest brother also thought this was reasonable and decided to go for a walk tomorrow. He was so hungry that he could not stand it any longer. If he delayed any further, something might happen.

When Nier went out, she stopped in front of her newly built house and sighed at the progress.

How could it be built so quickly? Before, I was hoping it would go faster and faster, and I couldn't wait to move in tomorrow. Now I just hope it can go slower and be completed after the squat toilet is made.

I carried the backpack and went up the mountain, and saw a few little kids waiting there from afar.

However, they did not come over to disturb him until Jinshui left, then they slowly approached.

Nier saw a few unfamiliar faces in the crowd.

There were several little boys who brought their younger brothers and sisters. One of them was very shy and kept hiding behind his brother, refusing to move forward.

They were all children, not much different in age. Logically, they should be old enough to play together. However, when they heard that she was a teacher, they felt respect for her and did not dare to be too presumptuous.
