When Mrs. Niu heard this, she immediately rushed to ask Mrs Zhao in a caring tone. "Right, right, sister-in-law, what exactly did you steal?"

Mrs Zhao was currently at a loss. After being asked, he replied honestly, "Eight Spirit Stone are missing."

"Hiss …" The surrounding people all took in a breath of cold air.

It had to be known that in normal families, Spirit Stone were not easy to find.

As everyone knew, this Zhao family was orphans and widows.

Suddenly, the two girls stopped being crazy. It seemed like their home was better now. But no one knew what their family's income would be.

Now, in front of everyone, Mrs Zhao actually said that she had stolen eight Spirit Stone s. This was equivalent to the annual income of an average family.

Moreover, this must be a middle-class family. That is to say, like Mrs. Niu's family, they only had this little bit of income.

The human heart was just this complicated. When the Zhao Family was in dire straits, someone looked at them sympathetically. But now, all of a sudden, they were rich, and they were a lot better off than the rest of them.

He felt sour, and then he felt sour all of a sudden.

What Mrs. Niu wanted was this effect. She slapped her hand on the spot. "Oops, hey, I was talking about sister-in-law. I really didn't know that your family had so many Spirit Stone stolen. Yo, yo, I think it's necessary to look for the Patriarch for this matter. Aiya, hey, so many Spirit Stone, it's equivalent to my family's master running away for a year's worth of income. This, I have to go with the flow to get the income of these eight Spirit Stone. Tsk tsk, I really didn't know that my family's sister-in-law had so many Spirit Stone hidden away all of a sudden. "

No matter how naïve Mrs Zhao was, she now knew that she had exposed her wealth, causing others to hate her. She was so anxious that her face turned white. She waved her hand again and again, about to cry. Greater Thr. Sister-in-law, it's not what you think, these... "These Spirit Stone …"

"What happened to the Spirit Stone? Don't tell us that it was won by my short-lived brother. Sigh, if I remember correctly, you have been begging us for me to help you pay the protection tax. He had only trained for a few days, and heard that Big Sis went out to give him a good gift. At this moment, his sister-in-law and the rest of the Spirit Stone were being stolen. Tsk tsk, I really can't tell. Our family has even produced an invisible rich lady. "

"Yes, Mrs Zhao, you are rich." I don't want any of us from the countryside. " The neighbors joined in the jeer as well. "Arghh!" At this moment, they were concerned about how the Zhao Family suddenly became rich, not because they were worried about their family stealing the silver …

Mrs Zhao was truly anxious, she looked at the group of people's aggressive looks, and Mrs. Niu, who was at the side, knew that she was weak, smiled even wider, and stepped forward to hold her hand, "We have lost so many Spirit Stone, let's go see the patriarch."

As long as she saw the Patriarch, she would have a reason to force the truth out of the Zhao Family. No, she had to be given an unfaithful hat today.

"No, I'm not going. My Spirit Stone was stolen so there's no need to go to the clan leader's house." Mrs Zhao also knew that it wouldn't be good for her to go to the Patriarch's house. She didn't want to tell anyone about her youngest daughter growing herbs, but how could these people let her go?

They all had their hearts set on Little Jiu Jiu. They all rushed forward, pushing the Zhao Family towards the clan head's residence.

"What are you doing?" At this moment, a cold voice sounded.

Everyone raised their heads. Wasn't this the second girl in Chen Family who was still acting crazy a while ago? However, after hearing that her spirit had returned to normal, looking at her ice-cold eyes, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Chen Xiaoyu had just come back from her meditation, when she heard the ruckus in the courtyard. Mama, on the other hand, was being pushed around, saying that she was going to see the Patriarch.

When the Zhao family saw their daughter return, it was as if they had seen their pillar of support. She broke free from the restraints of the group and ran behind her, revealing her small face. How did she look like a mother? However, she had been protected too well by her husband in the past.

His personality was also born from the heavens.

Seeing Chen Xiaoyu's return, Mrs. Niu sighed in her heart. Ever since their previous confrontation, she didn't think that this little girl would be so easy to deal with as if she was made of glue.

If she had come back later, her group would have brought Mrs Zhao back to the Patriarch's house along with them. Today's incident would have been blown out of proportion. However, even if Chen Xiaoyu came back, so what? Today, she was going to beat these people up just the same.

"..."

With this determination, Mrs. Niu smiled at Chen Xiaoyu with a fake smile on her face.

"Oh oh? Isn't this the niece that my family was foolishly staring at a while ago?" I, your family, have also been kind and prepared to bring you, Mama, to meet with the clan leader. However, I have to make this matter clear to him, otherwise, when the time comes, our village will easily be robbed, and this matter is hard to say. The noisy big families did not dare to leave their money at home. They did not feel at ease. This was a big matter. Therefore, they had to see the Patriarch. After all, this is related to the people of our Chen Family Village. "

"Alright, this lady's words are very correct." He should have gone to the authorities for the theft. "Of course, we are only reacting to the chief here. With such a huge matter happening, if we don't find out about this thief, the entire village will not be able to rest in peace." Chen Xiaoyu also followed suit. Ye Zichen looked at Mrs. Niu with a sly look.

She made Da Lang feel guilty. He felt that he was like a transparent person in front of this girl. His little thoughts and secrets were all exposed.

"Mama, this, this girl can't have seen us, right? If it really gets out of hand, what's the use of it! "

Mrs. Niu wasn't sure, but she was certain that Chen Xiaoyu wouldn't be able to see them enter the house. If that was the case, would the two of them be able to cause a ruckus here?

However, what Chen Xiaoyu said next made Mrs. Niu somewhat speechless. Little brother, you have been picking vegetables in the backyard. Tell me, what happened in our house just now? "

At this moment, to everyone's surprise, the Zhao Family's backyard suddenly opened. His lackey walked out from behind him and glared at Mrs. Niu and Da Lang furiously.

This glance scared Mrs. Niu and Da Lang to death.

One had to know, they also came in from the backyard. But just now, why didn't I see him behind us? However, there was grass and trees in the backyard. This kid was also very short. Who knew if he was hiding in the grass.

It was because of this that Mrs. Niu's heart was filled with uncertainty. She was also a quick person. Seeing that the situation wasn't good, he laughed out loud, "Oh, hey. About this, if you don't want to see it, then forget it." Anyway, this is your house being stolen. It's not mine. Oh, Dahang, I remember now, there's still some steamed food in the house. "Ah, no, I have to hurry back to take a look. If you are stupid, then that picky old man will scold us to death again."

As she spoke, she pulled Da Lang along and ran outside.

The neighbors saw that there was nothing left to see and scattered as well.

"Oh, it's scary, it really is! "Boss …" Mrs Zhao patted her chest as she gasped for air.

After sighing, he thought about the eight Spirit Stone s that were stolen from home. He immediately looked at Chen Xiaoyu with a sad face, "Er Niu, what do we do? I lost all our Spirit Stone. What should he do? Little brother, you really have been in the backyard all this time. How did you see a thief enter the house and didn't know how to call for help? "Devilish brat, have you been eating meat until you're stupefied recently?!"

As she spoke, she was about to hit her little brother. Chen Xiaoyu grabbed her hand and said, "Enough, let's talk inside."

Looking at the dark expression on the two girls' faces, Mrs Zhao always felt that things were not looking good.

"I was not in the backyard from the start. Our family's theft was real, and I have my suspicions. However, there was no evidence. However, the facts have proven that our family will no longer be at peace. "

At this point, Chen Xiaoyu's face turned grim.

It looked like she had to make a full circle around the matter of planting medicinal herbs in the courtyard. Right now, the human heart was truly terrifying. Today, it was only eight Spirit Stone s, but they had already revealed their greedy nature to the villagers. If they were to suspect that medicinal plants could be grown in their own homes, then the people of this village would still be able to show mercy to their orphans and widows. He was afraid that if he made an inappropriate excuse, he might even kill them all. With regards to the human heart, Chen Xiaoyu would never think too highly of it.

Modern knowledge, as well as the cruel facts that had been seen since he came here, proved that the human heart was the most terrifying. Human nature was also the most greedy.

"..."

"Ah, it's not behind us. Why would it say that I'm in the backyard?" Mrs Zhao asked the two of them.

Chen Xiaoyu looked at the weak Mama and felt helpless. What would they do if she left their home one day?

Her gaze landed on her little brother. Right now, the person she was most confident of was her little brother.

"Little brother, you tell me."

"It's very simple. Our family doesn't want others to know that we are rich, so we can't make things too big. So when my sister came back and heard something, she immediately asked me to come in from the backyard. And she did not scold her aunt first. When the guilty aunty and Da Lang heard that the clan leader was going to pursue this matter, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to continue to cause trouble. "

The lackey quickly finished and looked worriedly at Chen Xiaoyu, "Second Sister, tell me, will these people really not let us go? I feel like this matter is not so easy to fool! "

Chen Xiaoyu was also worried. She couldn't possibly tell him about her encounter with the mountain god. This family could fool them, but how could outsiders fool them? How annoying. Being rich was annoying, but being poor was also worrying. There wasn't a single thing to worry about.

She rubbed her head, "I will come up with a satisfactory solution to this matter. If I really can't do it, then we will tell everyone about how I went from the mountain god to the gourd yesterday. "Yes, that's it."

Hmph, there is a gourd, but without her using the Spirit Spring in the space to water it, it would be nothing. So, this is an easy thing to do.

This sort of thing happened after someone else had a new feeling about it, and if one were to discover that they were unable to control it, they would lose their confidence. Perhaps he could use the fact that his family was able to grow the medicinal herbs from the gourds to raise his status.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoyu felt that she was overthinking.

As she had expected, it didn't end with them scaring off Mrs. Niu and the others.
