Chapter 432 Someone is here to steal things
Lin Wanwan clapped her hands. Who would have thought that Chou Chou's embroidery skills could be so impressive? She could even make clothes now.
Chouchou played with Lin Wanwan for a while and read a book to her.
Gradually, her eyelids became heavier and heavier. Chou Chou carefully tucked in the quilt for her and then quietly left.
In the middle of the night, Lin Wanwan was woken up.
It turned out to be milk candy and milk cap. They anxiously pushed Lin Wanwan with their little paws, squeaking non-stop with their mouths.
Milk tea was so anxious that she jumped up and down: "Someone is here to steal things, someone is here to steal things!"
Lin Wanwan woke up instantly and sat up from the bed.
In the blink of an eye, Pacifier was squatting obediently beside the bed, and Lin Wanwan quickly rode on Pacifier's back.
A group of little guys rushed towards the chicken coop on the farm.
Under the moonlight, the door of the chicken coop was half-open, and the inside was in a mess, with dozens of chickens missing.
With his keen sense of smell, Naitang led everyone towards the next village.
After an incense stick of time, everyone chased to the farm in the neighboring village and heard a quarrel inside.
The woman in the lead had a waist as big as a bucket, and she put her hands on her hips and said:
"I hate that Wan Niang the most! She thinks she's so great just because she's a little bit pretty.
I must steal everything from her farm and see how arrogant she can be!"
Xu Changning stood aside, frowning, rubbing the corners of his clothes nervously with his hands, and muttered:
"You can't say that, Wanniang's family has been kind to us in the past.
How can we repay kindness with hatred and kill them all..."
Xu Changning's wife grabbed his ear tightly. He grimaced in pain and his body instinctively followed his wife's hand and turned in circles.
"Xu Changning!" The daughter-in-law flew into a rage, spitting everywhere:
"I've been with you for so many years, are you still thinking about that Wan Niang?
When your family came to propose marriage, they didn't even look at you.
Now that I finally have the chance to clean up her estate, you actually dare to speak for her!"
Xu Changning's face flushed red. He wanted to break free from his wife's grip, but he didn't dare to use too much force. He could only stammer in defense: "You... don't think too much, I didn't mean that..."
Xu Changning's wife snorted coldly, her face filled with disdain. "I don't care! This time I'm determined to destroy her manor and let her know that we're not to be trifled with!"
Another man laughed rather obscenely: "I heard that Wan Niang is very beautiful. I really want to see if she is pretty or not, and if she is coquettish or not..."
"Brother-in-law, don't do anything rash. Wan Niang is very powerful." Xu Changning said lightly.
Lin Wanwan was really enlightened. This family was extremely shameless.
Xu Changning had received kindness from the Bai family, but now he did such an ungrateful thing. He is really shameless.
Soon, there was a dull thud of something heavy falling from the house. First it was one person, and then two more people fell down.
Lin Wanwan pushed open the door and saw more than ten people lying in the room in various postures. Some were lying on the table, and some were slumped on the ground, looking extremely miserable.
Naitang and his brothers rushed in quickly. With sharp eyes, they began to search in an orderly manner.
As Lin Wanwan searched, she curled her lips and muttered softly, "Even though he holds the title of a sixth-rank official, this manor looks quite shabby."
Everyone rummaged through the drawers and finally found something in a sandalwood box in the corner.
The corners of this sandalwood box are carved with lotus patterns, and the gold bars are neatly stacked on the top layer, a total of twelve, each of which is engraved with the words "official treasury".
Below the gold bar is a set of mutton-fat jade tea sets. The body of the teapot is engraved with a picture of a traveler in the spring mountains. In the distance, there are undulating mountains, and in the near distance, there are people brewing tea under the pines.
Next to it were three celadon tea cups with lotus petals painted on the bottom. The glaze was crystal clear and as smooth as jade.
Turning the page further down, there is a chicken blood stone seal with the seal knob carved into the shape of a mythical beast that wards off evil, with eyes wide open and fangs exposed.
Xu Changning's official title and name are engraved at the bottom of the seal, with the handwriting vigorous and powerful.
There was also a bag on the side. When it was opened, there was a stack of land deeds inside, involving five fertile fields on the outskirts of the city. Judging from the official seals and ink marks on the deeds, they were quite old.
There is also a rosewood box hidden at the bottom of the box, with more than twenty pearls emitting a warm halo and a soft milky white luster.
Below the pearls, a set of head jewelry is neatly arranged. The first thing that catches the eye is the filigree gold hairpin with rubies inlaid in the eyes.
Next to the gold hairpin is a pair of jade earrings, and the kingfisher feather hairpin next to it is particularly eye-catching.
They also searched the secret compartment under the bed and found several heavy purses. When they opened them, they heard the jingling of white silver.
In addition, there are some gold and silver jewelry, but the quality is average and the carving is a bit rough, so they are not particularly valuable.
Lin Panpan patted the grass debris on her body, glanced around the yard, and waved her hand with satisfaction: "Retreat!"
As soon as he turned around, he saw that the brothers of Pacifier were driving all the livestock out of the farm like they were driving a mountain.
In an instant, chickens flew, geese cried, and pigs grunted one after another, and the whole village was filled with dust.
Looking around, you can see dense flocks of chickens, ducks and geese flapping their wings and their feathers flying.
The fat and strong black pigs, one after another, were all trembling with fear.
A rough count revealed that there were more than fifty pigs alone, and as for chickens, ducks, and geese, there were countless of them. They filled the open space in front of the farm so completely that there was no place to step.
Lin Wanwan asked them to drive the livestock directly to the mountain. When the livestock saw the tiger, they became very well behaved.
After a busy night, Lin Wanwan was very tired and fell asleep as soon as she returned to the farm.
The next day, Zhao Qiaoniang was brought to the mountain by Naitang. When she saw so many animals, she was stunned: "Where did all these things come from? Could they have been brought back from other farms?"
Madam Bai frowned, and then she heard Milk Tea cackle beside her: "Someone stole something yesterday, so we followed them and stole everything from their farm."
Mrs. Bai asked, "Which village?"
"Xu Changning...Xu Changning..."
Mrs. Bai was so angry that she was shaking:
"Xu Changning is a good guy. Our family treated him well. Back then, he was a poor scholar. His mother was seriously ill and bedridden, and the family didn't even have money to buy medicine.
It was my grandmother who was kind-hearted and took out a hundred taels of silver without hesitation, which saved his mother's life and gave him the opportunity to take the imperial examination.
I don't want to talk about these old things again.
Since they have done such a ruthless thing, don't blame us for being ruthless."
Lin Wanwan raised her eyebrows. It was so interesting that she encountered such a thing just after arriving in Bian Jing.
Xu Changning's wife woke up, rubbed her eyes and said:
"Hey! How come we all fell asleep last night?
Wake up, boss! Don't you still have to be on duty?"
