The woman who asked the question was Jiang Gui’s wife.

Jiang Xia looked up and saw that her uncle’s wife had rushed over in a hurry, with beads of sweat on her face.

“What’s wrong with you?” The woman who spoke wasn’t afraid of her and directly countered, “You don’t know what your man is like? You belong to a family that even dogs despise.”

Even though Jiang Gui was a gangster, there were still villagers who were not afraid of him. Just like the woman in front of him. Her two older brothers and one younger brother were also powerful people, Jiang Gui wouldn’t dare to provoke them.

Jiang Gui’s wife was so angry that her face turned pale, and she glared at the woman as if she wanted to eat her up.

The woman did not care at all. She did not stop talking, “What are you staring at? do you think you’re the only one with eyes? Are you still in the mood to watch what is happening? Pray that we won’t find anything when we make it to your house later!”

“You! What are you saying? Why are you going to my house?”

“Don’t you know that we are trying to catch thieves?” the woman laughed before continuing, “If you don’t know, then why are you here?”

“I don’t know! I’m just here to see what you guys are up to at night.” It was obvious that Jiang Gui’s wife did not sound confident when she spoke. Jiang Xia had witnessed the whole argument between the two.

The woman sneered, “What are you feeling guilty about? Don’t tell me it was really your family who did it! That would be a big joke! Stealing things from your brother’s house, you must have lost your mind!”

“I’m not guilty, why are you accusing me!” Jiang Gui’s wife spat on the ground rudely and cleared her throat to prove her innocence.

The woman opposite her did not back down, “Sun Li usually hangs out with Jiang Gui. Now that Sun Li is stealing things, who is to say that your family is not involved too?”

“Why are you saying that Sun Li stole something? Do you have any evidence? Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t have evidence!” Jiang Gui’s wife retorted.

Jiang Xia was listening from the side.

“Jiang Chuan’s daughter wrote her name on the items. Does that sound like we don’t have evidence?”

“What? She wrote her name?” Jiang Gui’s wife was so shocked, she couldn’t even speak clearly.

Who wouldn’t understand her expression? The woman frowned, “Well, it seemed like it really was your family. Don’t feel any sense of shame?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t take it. It’s late. I’m not going to talk to you. I’m going home to sleep.”

Seeing that Jiang Gui’s wife was about to go home to share the news, Jiang Xia quickly shouted, “Auntie! Did you also steal things from my house?”

“You worthless thing, what did you say!” Jiang Xia’s auntie glared at her with her eyes wide open.

“Auntie,” Jiang Xia said, feigning innocence, “You were feeling guilty when auntie asked if you had stolen something from my house.”

Jiang Xia’s clear voice attracted the attention of the people who were chatting.

“I don’t feel guilty. You wretched girl, why are you causing trouble!” Jiang Gui’s wife glared at Jiang Xia, trying to shut her up.

“Grandpa Chief, Grandpa Chief! Auntie also took something from my house.” Jiang Xia ignored the other party’s gaze and shouted.

Seeing that many people had gathered around, Jiang Gui’s wife hurriedly explained, “I didn’t. How could I steal from Jiang Chuan? The child is just spouting nonsense!”

The crowd made way for the village chief, who walked out from the middle, “What’s going on?”

Before Jiang Gui’s wife could speak, Jiang Xia took the lead and said, “Grandpa Chief, I just heard auntie talking. They said that she had also taken something from my house.”

Hearing Jiang Xia mentions her, the woman laughed dryly. She never thought that Jiang Xia would overhear her conversation with Jiang Gui’s wife and even blurt it out.

However, the woman did not do anything wrong, so she told the village chief what had happened.

The village chief’s brows furrowed even more when he heard what was going on. He looked at Jiang Gui’s wife with suspicion and asked, “Did your family really steal something from Jiang Chuan’s house?”

“How can that be? I haven’t even been to Jiang Chuan’s house.”

Although she said that, the sweat on her face had already betrayed her.

Who wouldn’t be suspicious of her?

The village chief naturally knew that Jiang Gui’s wife would never admit it. He had only asked this to trick her, but he didn’t expect her to have such a big reaction.

Jiang Chuan walked out and shook his head at the village chief, “I didn’t find anything else.”.

Seeing Jiang Chuan’s listless expression, the village chief frowned and said to Jiang Gui’s wife, “Take us to your house first.”..
