Chapter 58 There is a thief
Tonight is the seventh midnight that Su Daya and Su Erya have quietly gotten up.
For the past six midnights, the two sisters got up quietly and guarded Su Qiumei's house and kitchen until dawn, but they didn't see the lights on in the old lady's room or kitchen.
In order to make money, they must persevere and cannot give up.
How do they know? Is ginger or old spicy?
The two sisters were the first to get up in the middle of the night and when they were guarding Su Qiumei's house, they were discovered by the old lady.
Because they wanted to watch Su Qiumei making soap, they got up in the middle of the night and watched until dawn.
I was asked by the old lady to dig wild vegetables early in the morning. I basically lost energy in the afternoon and hid in the house to sleep.
The old lady was either making soap with Su Qiumei while they were digging wild vegetables, or while they were hiding in the house and sleeping.
As someone who abides by the law like this and keeps it for a whole year without peeking at Su Qiumei and the old lady, how do they make soap?
"Sister, do you think Nai and my sister-in-law will be making soap tonight?"
"You should be able to do it, right? You've been resting for so many days, and if you still haven't done anything, the lottery will be drawn for the second time tomorrow. What will you sell at home?"
"But..." What else does Su Erya want to say?
"Who? Who's there?"
Suddenly, I heard Wang's scream, but Wang's voice screamed very loudly again.
After the two sisters looked at each other, they hurriedly squatted down and sneaked back to the room.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Sure enough, Wang's cry woke up the others who were sleeping.
"It seems there are thieves, two of them." Hearing Su Tieniu's voice, Wang became bold and wanted to walk towards the place where Su Daya and Su Erya were hiding just now.
But after taking a few steps, she stopped again because the cycad ox that walked out of the house did not follow her.
What if those two thieves jump over the wall and arrest her? She got scared and walked back.
"Thief? Where can there be a thief?"
When someone shouted that there was a thief, everyone else became nervous and came out to look for the thief.
Just kidding! The Su family has been poor for so long.
Just a few days ago, Li Qingluo just came back from selling a batch of soap. The family finally made some money, how could they let thieves steal it?
"What's the fuss about? What's the thief? You're blind. You're not sleeping in the middle of the night. My old lady is still sleeping. Go back to the house and sleep." The old lady came out and yelled at people.
The old lady naturally knew who the two thieves Wang mentioned were?
She took a deep look at the room where Su Daya and Su Erya slept.
When the old lady went to Su Daya's house, her glance was caught by Wang who was hiding behind Su Tieniu.
He saw the old lady looking in that direction with a strange look that she almost never used.
Wang, who was hiding behind Su Tieniu, followed the old lady's gaze with trepidation.
However, no matter how hard she squinted, she still didn't see anything?
She recalled what the old lady had said when she walked out of the house. Could it be that... the old lady really saw someone there?
If the old lady can be so sure that he is not a thief, does it mean that the old lady still recognizes the other party? And she...didn't see it.
Is there something that some people can see and others can’t?
The more Wang thought about it, the more scared she felt.
His body began to tremble unconsciously.
"What's the matter with you?"
When Su Tieniu heard his mother say that there were no thieves, he was no longer nervous.
Just as he was about to turn around and go back to sleep, he saw Wang shivering behind him, so he asked.
When Wang heard Su Tieniu's question, she tremblingly stretched out a finger and pointed to the place where the old lady was looking just now: "Then... there is something there."
After saying that, she immediately looked away. She was afraid that she couldn't see, and she was afraid that she had seen something she shouldn't have seen. She was even more afraid.
"What's there?"
Su Tieniu looked in the direction of Wang's finger. It was dark and he couldn't see anything.
He raised his feet and wanted to walk over to take a look, but was held back by Mrs. Wang behind him: "Don't go, I saw it, even my mother saw it."
Su Tieniu was suspicious, but when he saw Wang's hand holding him shaking even more violently, he didn't look like he was pretending to be scared.
He had no choice but to give up, but still frowned and looked at that place.
"Second brother, what are you looking at?"
Originally, Su Tiezhu was about to go into the house and continue sleeping, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw something was wrong with the second brother and his wife, so he came over and asked.
"Brother, look there, is there anything wrong?" Su Tieniu pointed in the direction Wang just pointed.
When Su Tiezhu heard what Su Tieniu said, he looked in that direction.
At the same time, the two sisters, who were hiding under the window in the house, just stuck their heads out, ready to see if everyone outside had entered the house.
When Su Tiezhu looked over, the black shadows of the two overlapping heads were larger than the shadows of ordinary people's heads.
In the dark, Su Tiezhu couldn't even see who it was? In Da Ya's room, the black shadow was either Da Ya or Er Ya.
These two girls must have been awakened by Wang's screams, right?
I didn’t know what the second child meant by asking, so I answered honestly: “A dark shadow.”
When Wang heard this, she was even more frightened. When she got up for the night, she clearly saw two of them, but why did those things just... merge into one?
"Sister, there are people outside."
"Then let's hide in the house first and wait until they all go to sleep before we come out."
The two of them lowered their voices as much as possible so that only they could hear it.
When Su Tieniu looked over again, the two sisters just retracted their heads.
"Really? Why didn't I see it?" Su Tieniu looked at it again, but still didn't see it.
Su Tiezhu looked over again and couldn't see it anymore: "Maybe I saw it wrong. Didn't my mother look at it just now and say there was no thief?"
After saying that, he comforted Su Tieniu: "Don't worry? Even if a thief comes, as long as my mother keeps the money, even if he has great abilities, he won't be able to find it. Why don't you go back to sleep?"
Then he gently patted Su Tieniu on the shoulder and entered his room.
Su Tieniu felt very upset because of Wang's behavior, but even Su Tiezhu, a grown man, was not afraid of him. Did he dare to say that he was afraid?
"It's late. I have to get up early to draw lots tomorrow, so go back to sleep." After saying this, the person also went back to sleep.
When Mrs. Wang saw Su Tieniu enter the house, how could she dare to stay outside alone? Immediately following Su Tieniu, he also entered the house.
After entering the house, he not only locked the door, but also moved all the movable things behind the door to block it, and then he dared to go to bed.
"There's such a big commotion, the two in the third room are sleeping really hard."
Why don't they come out and are they afraid? She was the only one who was scared. Why did she feel so bad?
"Didn't Dafu and Dacai sleep deeply? My sister-in-law and little sister didn't come out either."
snort! Mrs. Wang was unhappy again. As long as she talked about the mother and daughter in the third bedroom, this man would always find something to talk to her about.
