"What things are missing at home?" Su Peng frowned and pondered.

"I haven't looked carefully at the others, but all the money in the family is gone. I told Zhuzi about the marriage, and I said that the engagement will be made in a few days. If I can't get the dowry, the marriage will be blown up too! The head of the village, You must help us catch this thief!" Shui Sheng's daughter-in-law begged.

Su Peng thought for a while and said, "Ms. Zhuzi, go ahead and see what is missing at home, and then let Zhuzi go to the town to report to the officials. Remember, don't move anything in the house."

Hearing this, Su Kefang on the side nodded secretly, apparently the father also understood the principle of not destroying the scene of the crime, it seems that he is not the head of the village for nothing, at least he knows more than Uncle Shuisheng.

Shuisheng's daughter-in-law quickly came out of the house and said, "Minister, except for the money, nothing else was lost, and my house was turned over."

Su Kefang's eyes twitched slightly, and there was a calculation in his heart.

"Forget it, don't report to the official yet." Su Peng said after thinking for a moment.

If the thief was from the same village, he, the head of the village, would not have a good face.

"Why?" Shui Sheng's daughter-in-law excitedly said, "Li Chief, if you don't report to the officials, will you let the thief who killed a thousand swords go unpunished?"

"Yes, Chief, how can we get the money back if we don't report it to the officials?" Shui Sheng on the side looked serious: "The couple dug out the money through our teeth, and our pillars are still waiting for the money to be hired." Woolen cloth."

Su Peng swept the faces of the three Zhuzi brothers without a trace, and then said to the surrounding villagers: "This thief will not be caught for a while, or everyone should go back first, and don't delay the work in the field." Son."

It is not a matter of one person to have a thief in the village. Everyone pays attention to it. Su Peng is also under a lot of pressure. It's just that today's matter is a bit strange, and he has to be cautious.

"Li Chief, could that thief be from our Fengguo Village?" Some villagers asked worriedly.

"Li Zhang, no matter whether this thief is from our village or not, we must find him out quickly, otherwise the big guy will not be able to go to the ground with peace of mind."

Before everyone left, they said to Su Peng worriedly.

"Don't worry, I will give an explanation to the folks, let's leave first." Su Peng waved his hand without rebuttal.

Su Kefang originally wanted to stay to see what happened, but Su Peng was not happy. He stared and scolded: "Are you still going?"

Su Kefang had no choice but to pat his nose to say goodbye to Shuisheng's family, and went to find his sister-in-law Jia.

Su Kefang had just finished talking to Jia about asking her to teach Fu Chenxiang's brothers to farm, when Su Peng entered the hall with his hands behind his back.

"Old man, are you back?" Shi Lu poured him a glass of warm water and asked, "Did the thief catch him?"

Su Peng took a sip of water and said, "I got it."

"Really?" Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, this time Shui Shengniang doesn't have to worry about Zhu Zi's marriage."

Su Peng glanced at her: "That's not necessarily true."

Not only Lu Shi, but even Su Kefang and Jia Shi were stunned when they heard this.

"Why?" Lu Shi was surprised: "Could it be that the thief spent all the money?"

"Impossible, it took only half an hour or so, the thief shouldn't move that fast, right?" Su Kefang frowned.

Su Peng gave Su Kefang a meaningful look, and then said: "The money is not spent, and it will be returned to Shuisheng's family!"

Su Peng paused, and said again: "I'm afraid you will never guess who this thief is!"

"Who?" The other three asked in unison.

"It's Da Zhuang!" Su Peng's face was not very good: "And this Da Zhuang had no time to run and hide in the firewood room just now, and was caught by the three Zhuzi brothers just now."

At first he wondered which of the three Zhuzi brothers stole the money, but he didn't expect it to be Da Zhuang.

Jia Shi and Lu Shi were surprised: "Didn't Da Zhuang play with Zhu Zi since childhood? How could he do such a thing?"

"It's a long story!"

Su Peng heartily told the ins and outs of the matter, and the three of them sighed.

It turned out that Shuisheng's daughter-in-law told Zhuzi about a girl from Xiangfang Village. Zhuzi had never seen this girl before, but Da Zhuang had known her for a long time, and had liked that girl for a long time.

When Da Zhuang learned that the person Zhu Zi was going to marry turned out to be his sweetheart, he secretly hated Zhu Zi, but Zhu Zi didn't know anything.

A few days ago, Da Zhuang went to Zhuzi's house to look for Zhuzi, and overheard Shuisheng's daughter-in-law telling Shuisheng that he was going to Xiangfang Village to hire him, so he made up his mind.

"You said that Da Zhuang, if he fell in love with her girl, why didn't he ask the elders to come to propose marriage earlier, and why did he do such an ignoble thing?" Shi Lu shook his head in disapproval.

"I'm afraid it's embarrassing." Jia Shi said.

"Now Zhuzi's mother has a knot in her heart, and she plans to reject this marriage, but Shuisheng's father doesn't agree, and the two are arguing." Su Peng said again.

Now Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Jia didn't express any more opinions, after all, this was their family's business.

Su Kefang forgot about this episode in a blink of an eye, but he didn't know that he was also missed by Su Dazhuang.

Su Kefang played with Hao'er for a while before going back to Fu's house. Unexpectedly, Su Peng said to Lu Shi for the first time: "Isn't there still some soybeans at home, dress her up and go home."

After speaking, Su Peng picked up the hoe and went back to the field.

It took Lu Shi a while to realize that the "she" in the old man's mouth was referring to his daughter, and couldn't help but annoyed, "I don't speak clearly!"

Ever since Hao'er fell into the water, the old man Fang'er had always looked at Fang'er, wishing to drive her out of the house, now that the old man showed signs of softening, she was happier than anyone else.

Su Kefang didn't expect to have such an unexpected surprise today, and she was very happy because she knew that her father was not a hard-hearted person.

Two days later, Su Kefang arrived in the town with the carved mahogany pendant.

Zhao Jingcai saw her from a distance and shouted, "Fang'er, you've come!"

Su Kefang originally didn't plan to find Zhao Jingcai as soon as he came, but it was not easy to leave immediately after being yelled at by him, so he had to walk over to his stall.

"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao!" Su Kefang saw that Yang Qiaolan was also in front of the booth, holding a baby in her arms, and walked over to tease the child with a smile: "This child really looks like Uncle Zhao."

This child is pink and tender, and it can be seen that the eyes and nose have inherited Zhao Jingcai's genes.

Hearing this, Zhao Jingcai laughed happily: "Most daughters are like fathers."

"Are you beautiful?" Yang Qiaolan shot him a look.

Yang Qiaolan's behavior was a normal interaction for other couples, but because of Yang Qiaolan's appearance, such a coquettish gesture attracted countless cynicism from the surroundings.

"Hey, this is still on the street!" Someone screamed and covered their eyes.

"What a shame!"
