Chapter 109: Thief

Su Qingmei stayed in the manor for four days and finally arranged a bunch of things properly.

These days, Su Dahu and Su's father collected a lot of fruits and vegetables and transported them to the manor. With sufficient manpower and materials, the cellar was soon piled with a large number of finished products. On the fourth day, Xu Shaoyan came in person and was very satisfied with the output of the manor. He discussed some details with Su Qingmei and said a few words to the head of the manor before leaving.

The people in the manor saw that the former young master had a close relationship with the current owner of the manor, and the indentures were also in the hands of the current owner of the manor, so those who had small thoughts suppressed them, and no one dared to do anything to hit the stone with an egg.

Early in the morning of the fifth day, Su Qingmei handed over the matter to the head of the manor, Liu, and returned to Fengting Town with Xiao Qingxing and Xiaobao.

Fengting Town has Su Qingliu in charge these days, and the store is doing well. There is nothing for Su Qingmei to worry about. The other two stores raised their prices due to rising costs, and the freshness and service of vegetables and meat could not keep up, so Su Qing'an's store welcomed a peak in traffic.

Of course, when the merchants were deserted, there were many people who were jealous of her. But on the surface, her business was just a few vegetables, tomatoes, and fruits, a small business that was calculated by the penny, not worth calculating. People also take food as their heaven, and they may be jealous, but no one has secretly calculated against her.

Now farmers and mountain people don't come to the town easily, and they can't buy some mountain products and game. If they squeeze the vegetable shop out again, are they going to let everyone starve?

That day, Su Qing'an stayed in the shop until late, calculated the day's turnover, had dinner, and gave Da Jiang and Su Da Hu a few words, and then went to her yard with Su Qingliu, Yaya, and the twins holding Xiaobao.

"Sister, Dad has been back to the village so late these days. Brother will have a busy farming holiday in a few days. Should we go back too?"

Su Qingliu smiled: "What can you do if you go back? You can't do the work in the fields."

Su Qing'an glanced at the siblings: "Xiao Qingyang will have a busy farming holiday in a few days. You can go back and stay for a few days. Although you don't have to do the work in the fields, you can help the adults with some small things. You can also deliver water and food to the people working in the fields. Sister will pay a few workers to do the work in the fields. There are many people looking for odd jobs now, and the price is not expensive."

Xiao Qingyang nodded: "Yes. Then we will go back with Dad."

Xiao Qingxing also nodded. After thinking for a while, he looked up at Su Qing'an: "Can we take Brother Qiyou back?"

"Hmm?"

"He has always wanted to visit our village."

Su Qingliu laughed: "It's true. The children in the village want to run to the city, and the children in the city want to experience the village."

Su Qing'an also laughed: "The child must be bored in the town." He said to Xiao Qingxing: "You can't go secretly. You have to ask Grandpa Xie and he can agree before you can take him."

"Hmm. Qingxing nodded heavily, and Xiao Qingyang also smiled.

Yaya ran over to pull them, and the three children ran forward hand in hand, laughing all the way, which attracted Xiaobao in Su Qing'an's arms to look over.

Su Qing'an looked down at him and poked his soft forehead with her finger: "When can you run and jump like your uncle, aunt and cousin. "

Xiaobao stared at her with his big innocent eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering. Su Qingliu came over, hugged him, and said with a smile: "It's still early. Our Xiaobao will grow up slowly, there is no rush. ”

After returning home, they washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

At night, Xiaobao was hungry and howled twice. Su Qingmei got up to feed him. After feeding him, she had just coaxed him to sleep. Just as she was about to lie down, she heard some noises in the yard, like the sound of something falling to the ground.

Su Qingmei was very sensitive to sound, so she listened carefully...

There were very subtle sounds coming from the yard.

The movements were very light. Su Qingmei heard clearly that there was a thief in the yard.

She hurriedly moved Xiaobao to the inside of the bed, covered him with a quilt, and used pillows to circle the outside. She got off the bed and lowered the curtain. She touched the electric baton behind the door and held it in her hand.

It seemed that there was only one person, and that person entered the west wing room.

Su Qingmei weighed the electric baton in her hand and quietly opened the door, went out of the door, and quietly closed the door without making any noise.

She tiptoed to the west wing room and saw a dark shadow in the room searching for something in the dark. She was trying to find the money and property, so she clenched the electric baton and planned to hit him hard from behind.

As she was tiptoeing over, the man in the room seemed to sense something and turned around to punch her. Su Qingmei quickly dodged and swung the electric baton at him, knocking him out immediately.

After Su Qingmei tied him up, she pulled off his mask...

Leopard!

When Leopard was splashed awake, he was still confused. He clearly didn't see that the other party had nothing in his hand, but when he saw the other party swung, he seemed to be hit by something, and his whole body was numb, and he fainted immediately.

It was clear that there were ordinary residents around here, so this family hired guards?

Leopard was still trembling a little, and the numbness in his body seemed to have not dissipated yet.

He looked up at the person who splashed him awake...

Uh, he seemed familiar.

"It's been a while since I saw you. Why don't you go to the town to collect protection fees, but come to ask for it instead? "Su Qing'an looked at him coldly.

Huabao was fully awake. Isn't she familiar? He had brought people to her house to ask for protection money.

I heard that not long after she got married to the town, her husband was conscripted. The villagers said that she had no husband and no children and would have to live in dire straits under the rule of her stepmother-in-law. Unexpectedly, after her husband left, Tu Niu opened a shop and managed it very well. There were several similar shops in the town. I thought she would be squeezed to death, but she was still doing well and her business was booming.

She didn't have to live under the eyes of her stepmother-in-law. She had her own money and lived happily. I heard that she gave birth to a son some time ago. She has money and a son to rely on. If her husband dies, she can find another young and strong man. Who in the village doesn't say that she is lucky now?

How did we find her home?

This is not West Street. Doesn't her Lu family live here?

"Sister, dear sister, I went to the wrong door. Please forgive me and pretend you didn't see it. We are from the same village and grew up together..."

Su Qing'an smiled: "Don't talk about my feelings. You have sneaked in and didn't think about feelings. Besides, I have a house full of women and children. I dare not forgive you. I'd better hand you over tomorrow. Maybe there will be a reward. I heard that the town's soldiers have been stationed."

"No, no, sister, please don't hand me over to the soldiers. I was wrong. I was just confused for a moment. Please..."

Su Qing'an ignored him. She just touched him for a while and felt relieved when she saw that he didn't bring a weapon. But even if he brought a weapon, Su Qing'an would not be afraid.

"Your business is very extensive. You collect protection fees during the day and do no-cost business at night. For the sake of our village, I will let you sleep here for a night and send you out tomorrow."

"No, no, sister, I beg you..."

Seeing that Su Qing'an ignored his pleas and turned away, he hurriedly shouted: "Sister, sister, I have news about Master Ma..."
