 Chapter 64: Captured by the Li Family

Ye Muyu had already taken medicine earlier, so she was feeling much better now. Cao slapped her thigh and exclaimed "Oh my, this is serious! A thief who dares to enter the courtyard directly might be some desperate and lawless criminal!" "This kind of person, if they come to our village it could be very dangerous." "We adults are not afraid but what if a child is kidnapped?" Most of the village children were raised freely, usually following adults to work and wandering around to find wild vegetables. Hearing this, Chu Liushi also became worried. Wang's youngest son, Chu Bo, was her favorite. When she heard this she was shocked. Normally, her son returned from the village school on his own. If he were kidnapped what would happen? "Mom, what if they can't catch the thief this time?" Wang asked with concern. Although Zhang's children were grown up, no one wanted a thief lurking in the village. After all, every family had some savings and if stolen it would be a significant blow to the family. "Let's wait for the news. If they catch him, that's good. If not..." Chu Liushi didn't finish her sentence but all the women present understood. If they didn't catch the thief they would have to be on guard everywhere in the future, which would greatly affect their peace of mind. About half an hour later, Chu Lin, Chu Cai, and others arrived. Ye Muyu served them tea. After chasing for so long, everyone was tired, and there was no need for formality. They found seats on their own. "How did it go?" Wang asked impatiently. Chu Cai nodded "We caught him. The person was captured by the Li family members and is now being held at the ancestral hall. They'll send him to the authorities tomorrow." "The Li family? How is it related to the Li family?" The women were puzzled. Chu Lin explained "When we were chasing, other villagers were also following. That thief seemed to have come from somewhere unfamiliar as if he didn't recognize the roads in our village and fled in panic." "He actually ran into our village's paddy field." "You don't know. When the thief ran into the paddy field, other villagers also followed and instantly, many mud figures appeared." "When we were chasing, the Li family members also came. They said one of their clan members had lost money, two taels to be exact." "It's the family of Li Yue, the girl who's engaged to Yongliang. Aunt Yan told the Li family members that they couldn't find two taels of money at home, thought it might be misplaced and hadn't found it. Little did they know the village would stir up a theft." "Aunt Yan stirred things up, so the Li family members went to chase the thief." "The Li family, just like us, was afraid there was a real thief. So, the young men from their family also joined the chase. We managed to catch the thief, or else he might have escaped." Chu Lin then couldn't help but laugh. When the others, including Chu Liushi, arrived, they went to join the commotion. Saying this, he couldn't help but smile. His mother immediately knocked his head, "You child, a thief causing trouble in the village is not a good thing. You can still laugh about it." Chu Lin rubbed his head. Although he was worried at first, seeing the thief being caught, he relaxed. Therefore, he wasn't afraid. "Mom, I haven't finished yet."
