Before leaving, Xia Yingying reminded Lu Haoran and Song Ruyi that something might happen at home and asked them to guard the house well.

Lu Haoran and Song Ruyi were well prepared because of Xia Yingying's reminder. After Xia Yingying went out, she asked Lu Haojie, Lu Yuwei and Arou to stay in the house, while Lu Haoran and Song Ruyi stayed in the yard. Sure enough, not long after, Wang Dachui really flipped over the wall. As soon as he landed on the ground, he was pressed by Lu Haoran's acupoints and could not move. Song Ruyi tied up Wang Dachui with a rope neatly, which led to the scene that Xia Yingying saw just now.

"Yingying, this man went straight to your room as soon as he arrived. It's obvious that he came to steal something. We must not let him go." Song Ruyi said angrily.

This guy has a sharp face and a sinister look. He is not a good person. He sneaked into someone's house. If he is not stealing, what else can he do? Do you really think I am blind?

"Wang Dachui, my mother and my son saw you come in. Who would climb over the wall in broad daylight when the door is difficult to enter? What else do you have to say? Brother Niu, please be my witness." Xia Yingying said to Niu Dalang.

"Don't worry, Sister Yingying. My father will definitely punish bad guys like Wang Dachui severely."

Niu Dalang changed his tone and said to Wang Dachui, "We have been quiet for a few days, but you don't repent. Now you are doing sneaky things. I will tell my father and drive you out of the village."

"I said, I just came in for a walk, I didn't steal anything, catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. You said I stole something, what did I steal? What did I steal? Show me what I stole! Who are you to frame me with just your words?"

He didn't steal anything, so no one could do anything to him. Even if they sent him to the county magistrate's house, it would be the same.

"Okay, let's assume you didn't steal anything. Then why did you come to our house?" Xia Yingying asked with her hands on her hips.

Wang Dachui swallowed and his throat seemed to be stuck.

"I...I...today is the deadline and I'm here to pay back the money." His eyes rolled and the words that were stuck in his throat came out.

"Oh, it's to pay back the money. Where's the money?" Xia Yingying stretched out her hand and asked Wang Dachui for money.

"I went out... I was in a hurry and left... I left it at home. Please wait for me to go back and get it." Wang Dachui said stutteringly with his eyes rolling.

"I can't believe you when you say that. I've never seen anyone climb over someone's wall to pay back the money, and he even curses at people. Since we're from the same village, I'll give you one last chance. Send the money to me in half an hour. If you don't, I'll go to the town and file a complaint. Just wait for the officials to come and arrest you."

Every word Xia Yingying said afterwards was sonorous and powerful.

"Sister Yingying, please ask your good son to let me go. I will go back and get the money and bring it to you." Wang Dachui smiled flatteringly, revealing his yellow and black teeth.

Xia Yingying gave Lu Haoran a wink. After Lu Haoran untied Wang Dachui, he wanted to curse at him a few more times, but Xia Yingying's sharp eyes made him dare not breathe.

He stood up and ran away without looking back, as if there was a ghost behind him trying to catch him.

"Sister Yingying, are you just going to let him go like this?" Niu Dalang raised his fist in anger.

If Wang Dachui steals once, he will do so again. This cannot be tolerated.

"Yes, Yingying, if you do this, there will be endless troubles." Song Ruyi also advised.

This was the first time Song Ruyi had come into contact with Wang Dachui and she disliked him very much.

This kind of person is cunning and sly. He shirks his responsibility this time, but he may steal things even more next time. If we don't find any evidence of his theft, does that mean we can't prove that he came to steal? Are they blind?

He was able to escape responsibility this time by talking big, but who knows what crazy thing he will do next time. Yingying is too weak. If this continues, it will cause endless trouble.

"Mom, Brother Niu, don't worry. I have made up my mind."

Xia Yinyin just didn't want to deal with him for the time being. A scoundrel like him was not worth her energy and worry.

If his guess was correct, Wang Dachui would definitely ask Li Cuihua for money to pay her back, as he simply had no money to repay his debt.

Li Cuihua is also a stingy person.

There will inevitably be a fierce quarrel between the two due to the dispute over interests. In order to make up for the mess left by Wang Dachui, Li Cuihua will eventually give him money to fill the hole, and Wang Dachui will also lose Li Cuihua's trust.

They are just in cahoots with each other, and they are both extremely stupid. She doesn't need to spend time and effort to deal with them. She just needs to sit back and watch the fight between the two tigers, and reap the benefits.

After hearing what Xia Yingying said, Niu Dalang said nothing and left.

Song Ruyi advised her a few more times, and Xia Yingying felt a warm current in her heart. This was the warmth she felt besides the one from her grandmother.

She had never heard such nagging again since her grandmother passed away.

She knew that Song Ruyi was doing this for her own good, so she comforted Song Ruyi and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'm not stupid and I won't suffer any loss."

"Mom, I bought cotton, and I would like you to make me a winter quilt and some thick clothes for our family. As for the cloth, go pick it up at the market." Xia Yingying used cotton clothes to divert Song Ruyi's attention.

"Okay." Song Ruyi said with a smile.

Mianhua was moved into the room where Song Ruyi lived by the mother and daughter.

Border town, military camp.

Lu Ziren formulated a new battle plan that could end the war early, but it also meant more dangers and changes.

Deputy General Wang exclaimed that the general was indeed a genius on the battlefield. He admired him so much that he bent his knees, clenched his fists and knelt on the ground.

"General, our plan to send people to sneak into the enemy camp and burn the food and grass is feasible, but the barbarian granary is heavily guarded. Ordinary scouts are simply unable to break through the siege, so how can they complete the mission? In the entire camp, only the general can give it a try. Please help me, general."

"You are still in charge of the military camp. Don't let anyone know that I have woken up. Make sure to spread the news that I am seriously ill and about to die to the barbarian camp. I will be in charge of burning the granary."

"General, no, you are the commander-in-chief of the army. We can be without anyone in our barracks, but not you." Deputy General Wang kowtowed heavily.

"It's decided now. Don't worry, I will come back safely. This time I sneaked into the enemy camp for a private matter. It's not convenient to tell anyone about this matter. You must keep it secret." Lu Ziren felt much better, but his face was still a little pale.

"Yes." Deputy General Wang kowtowed heavily.

Lu Ziren looked at his home in the distance, his fingers crackling.

It’s almost there, it’s almost there, we’re almost back.
