Chapter 451 Reporting a Crime in the Snow
"Go to your third uncle's house, your father has something to do with Yunshan.
Old lady Bai snorted. There was thick snow in the yard. This woman didn't know how to clean it, so she just hid in her nest.
When the second son and his wife were together, there was never any snow in the yard.
"Why are you going to your third uncle's house on such a snowy day?" Mrs. Zheng looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky and wrapped herself in a cotton jacket with a look of reluctance.
"Just go if you are told. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" A lazy woman who is always lazy.
Listening to her mother-in-law's unkind tone, Mrs. Zheng curled her lips and responded casually,
"I know, let's go."
Bai Yunsong didn't know what his father was doing. He was rushing to the town in the wind and snow. He had to report the theft in the village as soon as possible and let the elders make up his mind.
If there was another theft, he would have an explanation.
Unfortunately, when he rushed to the town, Chief Li was not there at all. After asking around, he learned that there had been thefts in several other villages, and Chief Li had already taken people to check.
After a long trip, he didn't see this person. Bai Yunsong thought about it and decided to wait for the elder to return.
The town government couldn't bear to see him standing at the door and not leaving, so he asked him to wait in the side room.
At the time of application, Elder Li came back with his people. Bai Yunsong was overjoyed and hurriedly went out to welcome him and told the elder about the theft in the village.
"Sir, this is what happened. I, the upright person, bear all the responsibilities for thefts in the village. But if the thieves are not eliminated, the village will be in trouble."
Li Qi looked at him and shivered from the cold. He waved his hand to let him follow him into the house and brought him a cup of hot water.
"There are thefts in the surrounding villages. I have sent people to investigate. There should be news in the near future. You go back to appease the villagers first. When the thief is caught, you will definitely give them an explanation."
"Yes, it's hard work. Elder Li is tired. I will convey the truth to the villagers to make them feel at ease." Listening to Elder Li's tone, Bai Yunsong stood up and bowed to express his thanks.
"You don't have to thank me. You and I both know what the situation is now. Theft belongs to a gang. As long as one is caught, it can be uprooted. Go back and tell the villagers that we are doing our best to arrest them, so they can just rest assured. "
"With Li Qi growing up, thieves will definitely be frightened by the news and never dare to harass their neighbors again."
After drinking a cup of hot water, he finally felt a little warmer. Bai Yunsong complimented with a smile on his face.
Elder Li Qi was used to hearing compliments, so he didn't take it to heart. He said a polite word and waved him away.
Bai Yunsong glanced at the sky outside, and when he left, he couldn't help but add something.
"To be honest, I feel relieved with Chief Li's promise. Thefts have occurred one after another in the village, and the villagers are panicking. I am even more anxious. If it is useful to me, please feel free to go to Chief Li."
Catch the thieves early and recover the food as soon as possible. If it is too late, even if the thieves are caught, the food will be eaten by them.
By then, even if he took out all the food at home, he would not be able to feed dozens of people.
Li Qi looked at Bai Yunsong, put down his tea bowl, and laughed.
"It is a blessing for the villagers in Willow Bay to have such a responsible Li Zheng like you. It is true that a tiger father has no dog son."
Listening to Chief Li's praise, Bai Yunsong was very excited and bowed to salute again.
"Thank you, Elder Li, for the compliment. I'm still far behind my father. Now that I've encountered a theft, I'm at a loss. I can only brave the snow to report it to the elder."
