Shocking The World After Bringing My Family Back In Time!

Chapter 51  The hearts of the people can't be scattered

When the carriages returned to the village, it was already past five o'clock. The villagers who did not have any wild vegetables to trade had long gone home to start cooking.

After everyone had distributed the corn noodles, they dispersed.

Jiang Chuan's family also took their share and headed home. Unlike Jiang Xia, who was tired from sitting in the carriage, Jiang Gu looked very energetic. She jumped and skipped in front of them, even greeting her friends.

As soon as they opened their door, they saw a black shadow leaning against the wall, preparing to jump out.

Jiang Xia reacted quickly by shouting at the top of her lungs, "There is a thief!"

The black shadow seemed to be frightened by Jiang Xia and slid down from the wall.

"Father, let's go over there and take a look!"

Their house was at the end of the village, so the man chose to run in the direction with no houses.

The family of four quickly ran, but when they arrived, they didn't see anyone.

A few of them quickly went to see what had been lost in the house.

Jiang Xia was so anxious that she shouted so loudly. In addition to the fact that the countryside was very quiet at night, her shout had not only attracted the neighbors but also the other households who had come running out with torches.

"What's going on? Who's house had a thief?"

"It sounded like the voice came from Jiang Chuan's family. Let's go and take a look!"

With that, they raised their touch and went straight to Jiang Chuan's house.

At Jiang Chuan's house, the four of them were dumbfounded. This was a robbery!

Not only were the porcelain bowls and teacups that they brought back gone but even salt, oil lamps, and many other items were also taken away.

"Jiang Chuan, was it your daughter who shouted that there was a thief?" The neighbor shouted from outside.

The man came in seeing the door was not closed, with a few villagers at the back.

The light from the fire illuminated the entire room as the person approached. Everyone was stunned when they saw the messy scene in the room.

"Who in the world did this?"

Jiang Chuan's neighbor had a fiery temper and couldn't help but curse at the situation.

Jiang Chuan tried thinking of who to look for to deal with this matter, but there were no police officers at this time. But before he could figure it out, the villagers came.

"What should we do? Those are the things that my family needs to live on."

Zhou Lan had to cooperate with her husband and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Seeing that the two adults looked very lost, one of the neighbors pulled Jiang Xia to the side and told her, "Jiang Xia, go to the village chief. You have to solve this problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, how will the other villagers live in peace knowing there is a thief out there?"

Jiang Xia nodded and ran toward the village chief's house. As she ran, she did not forget to shout, "There's a thief! Everyone, be careful! There's a thief in our village!"

Following Jiang Xia's shout, the lights in every house were turned on.

Jiang Xia ran and looked around and only four or five houses' lights were not lit.

She shouted all the way to the village chief's house. The village chief heard an urgent knock on the door and quickly walked out, "Jiang Xia, were you the one who shouted that there was a thief?"

"Yes!" Jiang Xia nodded with tears in her eyes before she continued,"Grandpa chief, my things have been stolen, what should I do? That's for my family's future!"

The chief's wife's heart ached for Jiang Xia when she saw how pitiful she looked, "Don't cry. Grandpa chief and I will definitely stand up for your family."

Almost all the villagers left their houses with torches in their hands upon hearing the news from Jiang Xia.

"Village chief, did Jiang Chuan's house get robbed?" A villager who lived near the village head's house asked.

The village chief nodded with a cold face. He had heard of many fights in the village over the years, but this was the first time he had heard of theft. In this day and age, almost all families were not rich, so who would steal? He really didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Jiang Xia went there alone, but when she returned, she was followed by a group of people. Almost every family sent a person to follow the chief. They wanted to know who did such a shameless thing.

When the crowd saw the situation with Jiang Chuan's family, they couldn't help but fall silent.

Putting aside the thief's act of stealing, breaking the door and window frame was more like a way to vent their anger as if they deliberately wanted to take revenge on Jiang Chuan's family.

"We have to report this to the commune. What they did was too atrocious. They must teach that person a lesson."

"Yup! Report the case! With such a person in the village, we can't live in peace."

In this era, although everyone's lives were not good, most people were still simple and honest. After living in the village for a long time, some villagers did not even bother locking their doors at night.

But now that this matter had happened, it directly caused a crisis of trust between the villagers.

The village chief was really angry about this, and his eyes were wide open.
