C24 Stealing People's True Understanding

With Xiao Ya's help, I was able to smoothly slide from the high platform to Sister-in-law's courtyard. However, I felt guilty about being a thief. After all, this was shameful behavior.

What made me even more surprised was that the moonlight at this moment seemed to be exceptionally bright, as if it hadn't forgotten about any of its corners. I couldn't even find a place to hide, and could only stand in the middle of the courtyard filled with moonlight, not knowing what to do next.

Seeing my awkward action, Xiao Ya raised her arm and pointed towards the window of the west wing before raising her chin and speaking softly.

"Stop standing still. Bow down and follow the wall to get closer to the window. You can only hear the people inside the house from there."

When she finished speaking, she seemed to grab my wrist in a worried way, and she moved ahead of me, with obvious demonstration.

I followed her closely, bending low as I walked, leaning against the wall and moving closer to my sister-in-law's window.

In fact, there was only one window and one door in her house. The direction Xiao Ya and I were going, we had to go through the door to get under the window, which was not too wide. Since the single door was closed, I wasn't worried, but the windows were covered with white paper, and the moonlight was particularly bright. The lights in the room were very dim, and I was worried that anyone in the room would notice.

While I was thinking, I pulled back so hard that I stopped.

At this moment, Xiao Ya and I happened to be at the top of the mountain wall of the house. There was absolute safety there, even if we peeped from the windows, we wouldn't be able to see where we were hiding.

"What now? Didn't you want to know who that man is? "

Xiao Ya let out an astonished cry. Under the moonlight, her face looked extremely surprised, as if she was in an incomprehensible state of mind. At the same time, she seemed to be worried and flustered about something.

The windows are covered with paper. If we walk over, will the people in the house notice us? You should know my ability. If someone catches me, I will not be able to climb over the wall.

I told him the horror I had in mind.

I was used to doing things, so I wanted to find a way out before ending up in prison. That was why I gave him a warning in advance. Although I have no experience in this field, I believe that Xiao Ya will be able to think of a safe exit plan.

"Looks like you've lost your mind. We're inside the yard, and when we leave, we don't even need to climb the wall. If we open the gate and run, no one will be able to catch up."

When Xiao Ya finished speaking, she couldn't help but shake her head and pursed her lips with a smile.

Suddenly, I felt my own stupidity. The gates of the farmhouse were all open from the inside, so I couldn't open them from the outside. But it was as easy as opening the door from the inside to the outside, and I didn't think of that.

If I wasn't standing in the shade of the mountain wall, Xiao Ya would have been able to see the blush on my face from the moonlight. After all, this was simple common sense.

When I smiled awkwardly, I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders and raise my chin, indicating that Xiao Ya could lead the way.

Xiao Ya didn't say anything else. Bowing slightly, she moved forward slightly. However, she agilely moved past the tightly shut door and stood at the other side of the window.

So as not to alarm the people in the room, I bowed even lower and, moving cautiously, approached the window, pausing one step at a time.

The place where Xiao Ya and I were standing was just right on both sides of the window. Not only could it cover our bodies, it could even lean against the wall and stand in a more comfortable and safer position.

"Uncle Wang, we can't do this anymore. If we are discovered by others, it will be a mess. In the future, we won't be able to live in the village."

The low voice of her sister-in-law brought with it a feeling of helplessness.

As for me, after being called Uncle Wang by my sister-in-law, I was flabbergasted and lost in my thoughts.

In the village, other than the surname Chu, there's also a family with the surname Wang. However, I don't know why, our Chu Family's seniority is higher, while the Wang family's is lower. Under normal circumstances, those who are able to be called uncles by our Chu Family must be older than my father. However, people of the Wang Family who were around the same age as my sister-in-law would basically have to turn over and call Chu Family as uncle, thus, I was so shocked that I couldn't even think about it.

The young Wang Family members, who were in their twenties and had just gotten married, were stealing people from the house of Chu Family's young wife, making it hard for me to understand why they were doing this.

Because I was listening to the wall, although I was full of doubts, I didn't dare to ask about it. I could only listen attentively.

"Don't call me Uncle Wang at this time, just take me as your husband. "What's more, Chu Qing isn't home, so I'm really sorry to leave you alone in the empty room."

When the deep male voice reached my ear, I immediately had an image of Wang Hai in my mind. And the Chu Qing that Wang Hai mentioned was my distant brother from the same sect.

But what I couldn't think about was why my sister-in-law was entangled with Wang Hai, an old man in his fifties who already had two grandsons. He was actually living in the same room in the middle of the night, doing things that made me blush.

"Maybe once or twice no one will notice you, but since you're here so often, it's hard not to be discovered. After tonight, you can't be so diligent, or I'll never open the door for you again."

The tone of the sister-in-law was clearly low, but I felt that she wasn't sincerely rejecting her offer.

However, as I listened to their conversation, I gradually understood that Xiao Ya's so-called "thief" was actually a man and a woman who were having an affair. But I couldn't figure out why my sister-in-law was having an affair with an elderly person. In my mind, having an affair was something only two men and women of the same age could do, but there didn't seem to be that sort of need between them.

"Here you go, this is the ten pounds of wheat money I had behind your back yesterday. Take a few feet of canvas to sew on some new clothes, don't worry about being discovered, I have all sorts of methods."

Wang Hai's tone became anxious.

I also heard the soft sound of clothes being taken off, but I couldn't tell if it was Wang Hai taking them off or my sister-in-law taking them off.

"What canvas! You don't even have the money to pay the electricity bills or buy oil and salt at home.

There was joy in the way she spoke, and there was also obvious excitement in her voice, especially when she said the last part of it in a coquettish tone.

Thump, thump. I heard something heavy falling in the room, but it didn't look like anything special. When I couldn't figure it out, I raised my eyes to look at Xiao Ya who was standing on the opposite side of the table.
