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

"Oh my, who is so wicked to steal the couplets from my house!" Zhang Xiuhua exclaimed, and everyone else ran out of the house and looked at the empty door.

It was the first time that Zhou Pandi saw someone stealing even Spring Festival couplets.

Youcai ran to other houses angrily, wanting to scold the thief for being immoral, but when he ran to Aunt Wang's house, he was dumbfounded and ran back, "Aunt Zhang! This is terrible, Aunt Wang's Spring Festival couplets were also stolen."

Aunt Wang Er heard the noise and ran out to see what was happening. She then started to curse, "Who is so wicked!"

"This is such a wicked guy! If I catch this thief, I will beat him to a pulp!"

Aunt Wang walked around the village, and the whole village was alarmed.

I had no idea what was going on, but when I saw it I was shocked to find that the Spring Festival couplets on their front door had also been stolen.

This……

Zhou Pandi pointed at the gate and said, "It was probably not stolen, but torn. There was glue stuck under the couplet, and the edges and corners were not cleaned up."

Zhang Xiuhua understood, "It must have been that naughty kid who did it!"

When other villagers heard this inference, they grabbed any child they saw and interrogated them, "Did you tear up the Spring Festival couplets?"

The children were so scared that they kept shaking their heads, "I didn't!"

It doesn’t matter if no one admits it, because the villagers have already deduced a suitable person.

The team leader was about to organize people to dig the river and clean up the river channel after the spring when he heard some villagers discussing it behind his back.

"It must be Guoxiang. That kid is so naughty. He dared to set fire to something as precious as a donkey! He was capable of doing such a trivial thing as tearing up Spring Festival couplets!"

Not just one or two people thought this way, but no one went to the captain to settle the score, for fear that the other party would make trouble for them.

But the captain was not blind or deaf, and he heard about it. He ran home angrily and grabbed Guoxiang's ear, "Tell me! You little bastard, have you done something immoral again?"

Guoxiang felt very aggrieved, "Master! I didn't do anything. My butt hasn't healed yet, how dare I go out!"

The captain's wife was unwilling to stand by her grandson being beaten, so she immediately stepped forward to stop it.

The captain was pushed and staggered, but he did not leave. He pointed at his eldest grandson and asked, "What's wrong with the couplet?"

Guoxiang's buttocks hadn't grown back yet, and he hadn't even left the house yet, so how could he know what was going on with the couplet? "What's going on? What happened?"

Seeing that her grandson didn't know, the captain's wife said to him, "Our village didn't know about this at all. You said that others also said that it was your grandson who did it, but you didn't scold him back, and you even threw dirty water on your grandson. Is this how you do things?"

The captain saw that his grandson did not seem to be faking it, "Then who did it?"

Guoxiang rubbed his ears aggrievedly, "How would I know!"

The captain was still angry, "If you weren't so naughty, would the villagers suspect you? You better reflect on yourself!"

Guoxiang: “???”

He was so angry that he put on his shoes and got off the bed, "Grandma, I can't stay in this house anymore. Grandpa is too mean."

He ran away, and the captain's wife chased after him, "Where are you going?"

The captain told her not to stop him, "Let him go! Where can he go in the winter? When he gets hungry, he'll know to come back!"

Where else could Guoxiang go? Of course he went to find his good brother Youcai.

What is Youcai doing? He is catching thieves all over the village. How abominable! He queued for an hour to buy Spring Festival couplets yesterday, and just one night after he put them up, the couplets were stolen! How can this be tolerated? !

He went around the village looking for the naughty monkeys to ask them whether they had torn up the couplets.

The child was scared by the adults before and didn't dare to leave the house. Even if he was talented, he didn't dare to go to other people's houses to arrest people. No matter how powerful he was, he was just a child and was still afraid of adults.

Guoxiang ran over to find Youcai, one felt aggrieved, the other was full of anger.

"It's really not you?" Youcai looked at him with suspicion. To be honest, he also suspected Guoxiang.

Guoxiang was so angry that he jumped up and down, but because of his large movements, he pulled the wound on his buttocks. He covered his buttocks and cried out in pain, "We said we would be good brothers for life, but you didn't believe me! I was wrong about you!"

Youcai felt guilty when he saw how excited he was, "I'm just asking you. If it's not you, then it must be someone else."

What a nonsense! But Guoxiang was satisfied, "It really wasn't me! Help me find the thief, or they will think it was me. I can't clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River."

These two brothers are good at doing bad things, but they are really not good at clearing their grievances. They kept thinking for a long time, suspecting all the children in the village, but they still couldn't find the target.

“Who is it?!” Youcai held his cheek and thought hard, but his mind was empty and he couldn’t find any clue after trying for a long time.

Guoxiang had a butt injury and couldn't sit, so he could only bend over and watch him deduce. Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, he had to ask, "Then what should we do?"

Youcai touched his head. He had to admit that his IQ was not high. He looked at Guoxiang and asked, "Do you have money?"

Guoxiang took three steps back. "You don't know whether I have money or not. I was almost beaten to death by my grandfather for buying a fishing net before!"

He corrected the test paper in order to get the reward from his grandfather so that he could buy a fishing net. But he didn't get the money and was beaten up. Thinking about it made his butt hurt even more.

Youcai sighed, "What should I do? Without money, he won't help me."

Guo Xiang was puzzled, "Who are you talking about?"

"Jidong. He is the smartest person I have ever met." Youcai thought Jidong was a little genius. Because Jidong had never been to the first grade before, and had missed a month of classes before, he was able to rank in the top three in the first final exam. If this is not a genius, then what is it?

If Jidong is willing to help, the murderer can be caught.

When Guoxiang heard this, he immediately jumped up and said, "Then go find him."

"He is a money-grubber. He is unwilling to help if we have no money." Youcai curled his lips in disdain.

Guoxiang scratched his head and thought for a while, "Okay! You wait. I'll go home and get the money now. I'll take out the money I've saved. You can't cheat me!"

"Don't worry. I will definitely not lie to you!" Youcai patted his chest and guaranteed.

Guoxiang sneaked back home, rummaged through the drawers and found a dollar, then slipped out of the house when his grandmother wasn't paying attention and met Youcai.

But he was still a little worried. "I can ask him for help. But he has to promise to help me catch the murderer, then I will pay him. If he can't catch the murderer, I won't pay him."

"Okay! You talk to him yourself!" Youcai pushed Guoxiang into the door.

Jidong was making dumplings in the living room. He wanted to study, but his aunt said he should combine work and rest.

"Biubiu"

A strange voice sounded. Jidong turned his head and saw Youcai lying by the door and mouthing words to him. Jidong was confused, "Why don't you come in?"

Youcai waved at him, and Jidong stood up slowly, "What's the matter?"

Youcai pulled the man out of the yard, and the three of them put their foreheads together to discuss how to catch the thief.

Jidong touched his chin and said, "I will help you catch the murderer, and you will give me one dollar?"

"Yes!" Guoxiang risked his life. He couldn't be a thief anyway!

Jidong slapped his thigh and stood up, "Okay! I promise!"

As he was about to turn around, Guoxiang grabbed the other person's sleeve and said, "We are catching a thief! Don't leave!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? I have to go back to my room and tell my aunt first." Jidong felt that Guoxiang was really ignorant. It was not okay for a child to leave the house without telling an adult.

Guoxiang was scolded by a little brat, and he was so angry that he held his breath in his throat. When Jidong came in, he whispered to Youcai, "Do you want to beat him up? This guy deserves a beating for what he said!"

Youcai twitched his lips and said, "I think you got kicked in the head by a donkey!"

Guoxiang scratched his head, "How did you know?"

Youcai: “???”

Guoxiang said aggrievedly, "If the donkey hadn't kicked me, how could I have set off firecrackers at its tail! I told grandpa that if he doesn't let me vent my anger, I will vent it on myself."

Youcai was worried that he would really beat Jidong, so he lowered his voice to remind him, "Don't beat him. He's a cunning person, and the two of us can't beat him!"

Guoxiang was skeptical, but he still had to use Jidong, so he had to swallow his anger.
