Chapter 3304: Caught the Thief

ements.But, when it comes to the peak moment, I still can't help myself.The decrepit bed creaked ominously with every movement.Waked up the big An on the opposite bed."Mother, what are you doing"Let m...In the middle of the night, Yang Ruqing was suddenly awakened by the noise coming from the next courtyard.

That's Daddy and my brother's voices!

She dove off the bed, quickly got dressed, and before leaving, she stuck that golden soft whip into her belt.

As soon as I stepped out of the house, I saw Tuo Ba Xian from the opposite house also coming out with her hair disheveled, a hint of panic in her eyes.

These days, the family is in turmoil. The grandmother, Tuo Bu Xian, keeps a composed facade, but deep down she's most worried about her son's safety.

She has been through these political storms and understands that if one step is taken wrong, it could be heaven in front and hell behind!

“Mother, I’m going to my neighbor's house to see what’s happening. Don’t be alarmed, go back inside and keep the two children company. I’ll come back later and tell you all about it.”

Yang Ruqing quickly soothed Tuo Ba Xian.

Tuo Bao Xian nodded, "Qinger, you have to be careful yourself too!"

"Don't worry, my skills haven't dropped at all!" Yang Ruqing smiled and vanished into the night.

Instead of going through the main gate, Yang Ruqing directly climbed over the wall and came to her maternal home's yard.

In the backyard, Yang Huazhong held a torch in his hand, Lao Yang had a pole in his hand, and not far away, Xiaohua and Xiaoduo sisters helped Sun Shi, Cui'er hid behind Sun Shi, everyone was watching from afar the person subdued by Xiao An on the ground.

>

That person was wearing the clothes and shoes of a peasant, with a black triangular cloth covering their nose and mouth, leaving only their eyes exposed.

Xia'an pressed him to the ground, where he was moaning and struggling.

Fourteen-year-old Xiao An inherited the physique of the men in the Lao Yang family and has already grown to about six feet tall.

Moreover, because he had been practicing martial arts with his brother-in-law, Luofeng Tang, since he was a child, Xia An was aiming to become a martial arts official before this recent upheaval.

So it's easy to subdue a villager.

"You brazen thief! You dare steal from my house You're blind to the consequences!"

Little An cursed, reaching out to tear the black cloth covering the villager's face. He was stopped by Old Yang's shout.

"Hold on!" the old man shouted. Little An stopped his finger and looked up at Lao Yang with some puzzlement.

Yang Huazhong and Mrs. Sun were also astonished.

Old Yang looked down at the person on the ground, his expression complex. "This is your first time stealing today. If we were to pull off the mask from your face, this window paper would be torn, and after that, you wouldn't be able to show your face in this village anymore."

“Our Yang family never goes too far in dealing with things. You can go now, and let's pretend tonight never happened. But from now on, it's best not to target our Yang family again. We are all neighbors, so let's give each other some face!”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Grandpa, this thief..." Xia An was puzzled, just about to speak when Lao Yang stopped him with a look.

“Listen to me, let him go!”

Xiao An was very upset, his fingers hovered near the thief's face, he really wanted to see who it was.

>

He looked to Yang Huazhong and Mrs. Sun for help, and Yang Huazhong also had a troubled expression on his face.

“Xiao An, listen to your grandpa, let it go first.” Yang Huazhong said.

Little An was helpless. He had to get off the thief, who scrambled up and ran out through the back door that had been pried open, not even looking back.

Xiao An angrily said to Lao Yangtou and Yang Huazhong, "We finally caught him in the act. We should have taken him to the village elders or let all the villagers see what kind of a person he is – someone with bad morals and dirty hands."

"Everyone, be on guard! What Why are you letting them go This was all for nothing!"

Looking at his resentful grandson, Old Yang sighed and said, "Alas, it's good to leave a line for others, so you can see each other in the future. Some people may steal out of impulse or be possessed by demons."

“We give others a step down, and also give ourselves a step down.”

Besides, our old Yang family is currently in a precarious position. Most villagers are avoiding us for fear of being implicated.

Even if we take him to see the village elder and parade him through the streets, not many people would stand on our side and speak for us.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Who knows, they might still slander us. During this turbulent time, our family should keep a low profile and avoid making waves!"

With Lao Yang saying all this, Xiao An didn't know what to say.

The young man naturally disliked how his grandfather handled things, but his parents had accepted it, and his sister wasn't there. The thief seized the opportunity and ran away. What could he do about it

"Go to sleep, go to sleep!" Xia An went back to his room with a dark face and went to sleep.

To express his anger, he purposely slammed the door shut when he entered the house.

Lao Yang turned his gaze away from Xiao An and said to Yang Huazhong and Sun Shi, "You two should go back to your rooms and sleep. I'll stay here and keep watch tonight. Logically, no one else would dare come."

Yang Huazhong hurriedly said, "Father, how could you stay up all night while we sleep If someone has to stay awake, it should be me! Father, please go back to bed."

Old Yang shook his head: "As people get older, they sleep less. I can't sleep either, so it's better for me to wander around the front and back courtyards. You guys go to sleep!"

Yang Huazhong was helpless and could only say to the Sun family, "You all go back to your rooms and sleep. I'll stay here with your father. Rest assured, there won't be any more thieves."

Mrs. Sun nodded several times, then went back into the house.

“Mother, I can’t sleep alone. I’ll go to your room first and sleep there. When Father returns, I’ll go back to my own room, okay” Xiaohua said.

She knew Mrs. Sun, and Mrs. Sun must have been terrified tonight. Staying in the room alone would certainly keep her awake.

If I directly told Sun Shi to keep me company, she would definitely refuse.

It's more like I'm afraid and want company.

Indeed, when Mrs. Sun heard this, she readily agreed with a nod. "Alright then, come over here, the two of us can keep each other company."

Let me know if you have other text to translate!

Sun then turned her gaze to Xiaoduo and Cui'er: "Would you two like to come over here too, and squeeze in with us"

Little Duo smiled and shook her head, "Grandpa and father are guarding in the yard. I'm not afraid at all."

>

"I'm not afraid either," said Cuier.

And so, the women went back home to sleep.

Old Yang and his son, Yang Huazhong, were smoking dry tobacco and drinking hot tea, sitting under the eaves and chatting.

Behind Yang Huazhong's house was a large field. The thief who had run out of his house earlier sprinted along the edge of the field and reached a high mound in front, then jumped down.

Under the raised field, there was another piece of farmland, and two other people were squatting there.

Seeing the man jump down, the two people quickly stood up and looked behind him to make sure no one was following. Then they quickly asked the man who had run over: "Sān Pào, how did it go Did you get it"

"The one called San Pao tore off the black cloth covering his face and said angrily, 'What a success! That little punk, Xiao An, from Lao San Yang's family, packs a punch. He knows some fist and footwork, and knocked me down in two moves!'

"ub it."Look out there! It's a commotion. Don't worry about me, just go and bring your second brother back!"Lao Yang addressed Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaizhou, his two sons, in a loud voice.Yang Huazho...
