She hadn't seen meat dishes, let alone lard, in a long time.

Every time I cook, I dip chopsticks into the oil bottle a few times.

The dishes I made had absolutely no oiliness.

She had lived a good life and eaten good food before, after all.

I simply can't bear to suddenly live such a miserable life!

So he mustered up his courage and went to steal the He family's lunchbox.

As soon as I entered, I heard footsteps outside the door.

She was so scared that she almost paralyzed while hiding behind the door.

When they saw that the people who came in were Yan Bugui and his third aunt.

Only then did I dare to sneak out from behind the door.

My eyes were fixed on the small kitchen table, which was covered with lunchboxes.

Since the three of them share the same goal.

Let's get started!

Yan Bugui never expected that the pork knuckle he had always dreamed of eating was actually inside.

Without even thinking, he stuck his mouth in and started biting.

"Old Yan, why are you still eating?"

"Let's eat our fill while we can, or we won't get any if those little brats at home see us when we get back."

Hearing him say that, the third aunt couldn't resist and grabbed the food from the lunchbox to start eating.

An older woman smelled the food and, wanting to ask, started eating as well.

Just as the three of them were enjoying their meal...

"Squeak!"

The door rang.

The three people were so frightened they almost choked to death.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

The woman outside is Jia Zhangshi.

She saw the three people sneaking into the He family's small kitchen through the window.

So I mustered up my courage and followed.

Since we are all like-minded people.

Then nobody needs to be polite to anyone else!

Enough with the nonsense!

Construction begins now.

But I've only taken a few bites.

Two flashlights were seen shining into the room from outside.

broken!

This time it's not one of our own; we've probably been discovered.

The four people quickly squatted down.

I dared not move again.

That's right!

The ones holding the flashlights were He Hongyang and Sha Zhu.

Although He Hongyang had drunk too much today, his hearing was still very sharp.

I heard a noise coming from the small kitchen.

Wake up Sha Zhu.

Come straight over.

They thought it was someone from outside who had come to steal things.

Unexpectedly, it was someone from the courtyard.

They stole their lunchbox.

It seems I was eyeing it during the day, so I decided to try it at night!

"Get out of here!"

Upon hearing He Hongyang's stern rebuke, the group realized that their wrists had been grabbed.

They wouldn't dare come out.

Don't even dare to move.

I wish I could cover my face so I wouldn't be discovered.

The flashlight was shone inside a few more times.

"Shazhu, grab a basin and wake everyone up."

"Boom bang bang-"

A crisp sound.

"Neighbors, come and see! Our kitchen has been burgled!"

"Our courtyard house has been burgled! Everyone come out and catch the thief!"

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were the first to run out.

"what happened?"

"Our yard has been burgled; someone is stealing things from our house."

Enraged, Jia Dongxu immediately picked up a stick.

“No one has much food left, yet they still dare to come here and steal things. Do they think our courtyard is safe?”

"Huai Ru, don't be afraid. With me here, no one will dare to mess with you."

He wanted to show off his power in the eyes of others.

Qin Huairu ignored his nonsense.

They came to He Hongyang's side.

"Brother He, did you see who's inside? Who's so bold as to dare steal from our courtyard?"

As they were talking, Yan Jiefang led his younger brothers out from the front yard.

Xu Damao from the backyard, along with Liu's three sons, all came out.

These young men, upon hearing that a thief had been found in the courtyard...

They were all filled with righteous indignation, holding sticks, and standing beside He Hongyang.

"Where did this thief come from? Should we report it to the neighborhood committee?"

"The neighborhood committee doesn't even need to get involved. A few of us can beat the crap out of them."

"They came to our yard to steal things, thinking there was no one left in our yard?"

Inside, Yan Bugui heard his son's voice louder than anyone else's.

Enraged, he cursed inwardly, "You little brat, if you dare to lay a hand on me later, I'll make you pay."

Yan Jiefang simply took out his slingshot.

"My slingshot is perfect, I usually use it to hunt birds, I never thought it would come in handy today."

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu brandished the stick in his hand even more.

"When it comes to catching thieves, a stick is the most useful tool. I'll definitely beat the thief until he's covered in welts."

Xu Damao simply brought over his own rope.

“Catch the man, tie him up with rope, and send him to the street.”

Jia Dongxu added, "If you ask me, we should just send him to the police station."

When Jia Zhangshi inside heard what he said, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Especially when I heard him say the words "police station," I couldn't help but tremble all over.

He cursed under his breath, "I've never seen you so capable before. What's wrong with you today? Are you trying to show off in front of your wife? I'm your mother. If you really dare to tie me up, I'll tear you to pieces!"

That's what they really thought.

But I was terrified.

What if they actually come in later?

What if we get caught?

They are all elders, while the people outside are all young people.

How can I face people again after losing face in front of these young people?

I had just taken a bite of the pork knuckle and hadn't even had a chance to swallow it when it was grabbed. It was such a bad deal.

If they had known this would happen, they would have preferred to starve rather than steal from the He family's small kitchen.

The Liu brothers realized something was wrong.

"Why are there only a few of us young people here? Where are the older ones?"

"He must be hard of hearing and didn't hear anything."

"Wait, why are my parents here?"

The others were in the kitchenette, so why would they be here?

They broke into my house in the middle of the night to steal things.

Let them experience what it's like to be caught.

He winked at Sha Zhu: "To prevent them from escaping, we'll take sacks in and drag them out later."

He said to Xu Damao and the others, "As long as they come out, beat them to death. Let them know how powerful the young people in our courtyard are, and see if they dare to come again."

Several people said in unison, "Beat him until he cries for his parents."

The people inside were so frightened by these words that their teeth chattered!

0Is He Hongyang really going to do this?

0 If we were to actually beat them up, we might as well beg for mercy now.

A few people were just about to stand up.

⑥ To everyone's surprise, He Hongyang and Sha Zhu had already rushed in.

7. Cover their heads with sacks.

One person, two.

0. Drag the person out immediately!

5. "Don't lay a hand on me, I'm your aunt."

The five fools thought the voices inside sounded so familiar.

"Brother, what I'm hearing is..."

"Drag them out quickly, or they might escape!"

The two of them dragged and pulled.

Just came out.

Everyone rushed forward!
