Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

In the early hours of the morning, it was pitch dark in Lijiatun. The wind blew the leaves, making a rustling sound. A few slight noises came from outside the house. Zhang Xiuhua's hair stood on end and her sleepiness disappeared.

She stared outside the yard. Several dark shadows climbed over the low wall. Two dark shadows crouched close to the house, separated at the door, and fiddled with things under the window. Then Zhang Xiuhua clearly saw a pipe sticking out of the window.

Now that the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, the windows of each house are not locked, which is convenient for them.

Zhang Xiuhua put on a mask and quietly went to the main room. No one had set off smoke here. But smoke was coming from the child's room. She did not wake the child up, lest they alert the enemy.

He hid at the door of the main room, and through the crack in the door, he saw the three men sneak to the door of the chicken farm after releasing the smoke screen, and seemed to be unlocking it.

In the blink of an eye, the lock opened with a click. One of the three thieves was responsible for keeping watch while the other two went in to take the chicken.

The chickens were not crowing much at night because their vision was obstructed. The two thieves threw the chickens into sacks and carried them one by one onto the cart parked at the door.

It's hard for them that they even have a cart.

Zhang Xiuhua seized the opportunity, picked up the whistle around her neck and blew it hard.

The trio who had just been stealing happily were frightened and panicked, and tried to flee, only to find that several strong men had blocked the door.

Then a man yelled, "Catch the thief!"

The lights in the house were turned on, and people who lived nearby heard the whistle and forgot to put on their shoes and ran out to help.

The three thieves struggled desperately, trying to jump over the wall, but the others were not pushovers and caught them right away. The thieves were strong, and they were all farmers, so they were also strong. Moreover, they were two against one, so their fighting power was much stronger than theirs.

Zhang Xiuhua used a flashlight to find ropes to tie them up.

When the other members heard the noise, they all gathered around. Except for the children who were sleeping too soundly, the men and women crowded around the door of Zhang Xiuhua's house.

The team leader was relieved when he saw the three thieves, especially one of them who had a familiar face. He waved to the side, and more than a dozen members came forward and beat them up.

If rural people catch a thief who refuses to behave himself, they will first give him a good beating.

Last time Ruirui was nearly kidnapped, the trafficker was beaten black and blue. It's only fair that these three thieves should be treated the same way!

The three thieves were pushed around by the members, and they were beaten with punches, causing them to scream in pain.

The shouting attracted more members to come and watch the fun.

I don't know how long the fight lasted, but the screams of the three men became quieter and quieter, and their cries for help became even quieter.

Zhang Xiuhua shone the flashlight on everyone's face and saw that everyone had scars on their faces, some blue and some purple, which looked scary.

They dared not express their dissatisfaction. They hugged the captain's legs and knelt down to beg for mercy, "Uncle and aunt, I have old people and children at home, I just stole this once, please be kind and let me go."

"I just envied you for raising so many chickens, so I wanted to steal a few. My family is struggling to make ends meet, and my mom is sick. My dad has a limp."

"Uncle and Madam, please! I will work like a slave for you in my next life. If you let me go this time, I will be a good person in the future."

They knocked their heads hard and even got a cut on their foreheads.

But everyone was not sympathetic. The captain snorted, "I've been waiting for you to come! Do you think all of us in the village are blind?!"

The three thieves looked at the captain in surprise. They thought they were discovered by the owner because they were not careful, but they didn't expect that he had already discovered it.

What went wrong?

The team leader had no intention of explaining to them. He just waved to a few members to take the three people to the police station.

When they heard that they were going to be sent to that place, the three of them screamed and shook their heads, saying they didn't want to go.

They said they won’t go, so they won’t go?!

The accountant of the brigade slapped one of them in the face, "Do you think you are buying groceries?! Is there any room for negotiation?!"

The three men lay on the ground and refused to leave, crying and begging their parents to forgive them once.

The team leader directly ordered the strong laborers to throw them onto the cart.

The sacks on the cart were taken back to the chicken farm. At that time, the police were not as formal in handling cases as they were later. Physical evidence did not need to be taken to the police station, just a word was needed.

A dozen strong laborers went to help, to prevent the three from escaping halfway.

Zhang Xiuhua yawned. She had been on guard for four hours, and this scene took almost an hour. It was now four o'clock in the morning.

The captain signaled them to go back and rest and leave the matter to the police station.

The next morning, Jilin and Zhuzhu were sleeping soundly, and it was already bright outside.

Ji Lin glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "Ahhh! I'm late! Why isn't the alarm ringing?!"

His shout woke Zhuzhu up from her sleep. She jumped up, still a little dazed.

Ji Lin put on his shoes and got off the kang, and was about to run to the school to open the door, but Zhang Xiuhua came in with dishes and stopped him, "Alright! I'll open the door for you. Hurry up and wash up, and sit down to eat! "

Jilin was a little touched and ran over to hug his mother, "Mom! You are so kind!"

Zhuzhu got dressed and came out of the house. When she heard her mother's words, she said sourly, "Mom, why did you help him? He got up late himself!"

Zhang Xiuhua heard her tone was a bit sour, and couldn't help laughing, "The thief was caught last night. They gave you some drugs that made Jilin fall into a deep sleep. Don't blame him."

Hearing that the thief was caught, Jilin and Zhuzhu jumped up in shock, "What? He was caught? Why didn't you call us?!"

"You are knocked unconscious, how can I call you?!" Zhang Xiuhua spread her hands.

Jilin and Zhuzhu looked at each other and said, okay, this is not important.

"How many thieves?"

"Three!" Zhang Xiuhua urged them to wash up quickly.

Zhuzhu was eager to know the process of catching the thief, so she washed her face three times faster than before. Even the lazy Jilin sped up a lot.

After they finished washing up and sat down to eat, Zhang Xiuhua told them about the process of catching the thief.

Zhuzhu was young and didn't notice the bug. Jilin raised a question, "Mom, do you stay up every night waiting for thieves to come to your house?"

Zhang Xiuhua shook her head, "Of course not! I just had a hunch that they would come today. They didn't come before, I guess they wanted us to let our guard down, so they came!"

Ji Lin thought about it and found this explanation to be reasonable.

After the two children finished their meal, they carried their schoolbags and went to school. Seeing how excited they were, they would definitely tell their classmates about it when they got to school.

After washing the dishes, Zhang Xiuhua went to feed the chickens. When it was almost eight o'clock, Xu Chunying came over to get the eggs.

Xu Chunying didn't come to see the fun last night, her home is a bit far from here, and she was sleeping too soundly. I only found out about this this morning when my neighbor told me about it.

She also learned the follow-up results from the strong laborers who returned. "I heard that the three will be imprisoned for at least five years."

Zhang Xiuhua thought: It's not five years, it should be at least life imprisonment! Who said they were unlucky to have to break the law at this critical moment?
