However, to Jiang Xia’s surprise, they couldn’t find anything that was lost even after searching every corner of the house.

“Do you want to continue searching?” Old Lady Jiang asked arrogantly, “We don’t have the things you are looking for, right?”

Jiang Xia frowned, unable to figure out what was going on.

“Always being suspicious. What does your house have that is worth stealing?” Old lady Jiang rolled her eyes in disdain.

Just when they thought she will stop, she continued to ramble on and on with her criticism towards Jiang Chuan.

“You ungrateful wretch, your father and I have raised you for so many years. You want to split the family up and now you suspect your own family?”

Jiang Chuan didn’t care at all since he wasn’t actually their son. Even if he was, he didn’t think we would feel guilty. The real Jiang Chuan had already paid back the debt of gratitude by working like a cow and a horse for all these years.

However, Zhou Lan couldn’t bear to hear others scold her husband. If Jiang Chuan hadn’t stopped her, she would have kicked the old lady.

“Yup! Jiang Chuan even if we have split up, your surname is still Jiang. Father and mother have raised you for so many years, how can you doubt us? You’re too unfilial!” Jiang Gui chimed in, drawing everyone’s attention.

Looking at the smug expression on Jiang Gui’s face, Jiang Xia was wondering which part of the situation had gone wrong. From Jiang Gui’s wife’s behavior, it was obvious that her family had something to do with the theft. But why were they not able to find any evidence even after searching the whole area?

“Jiang Chuan, it’s already so late. You have made the chief come all the way here just for a small problem of yours. You are really getting worse.” Jiang Gui sighed as if feeling bad for the village chief.

The village chief was annoyed by Jiang Gui’s pretentious behavior. He walked over to Jiang Chuan and asked, “Did you find anything?”

“No, I didn’t,” Jiang Chuan shook his head, a little puzzled.

He knew his daughter. His daughter had always spoken only after she was confident in what she was saying. Especially when it was something that would affect one’s reputation. She would never have said what she said if she wasn’t sure.

If it really wasn’t stolen by the Jiang family, then she would have wrongly accused them.

But-

Just as Jiang Xia was trying to recall the details, Jiang Gu suddenly jogged to Just as Jiang Xia was trying to recall the details, Jiang Gu suddenly jogged to Jiang Xia’s side.

“Jiang Xia, we haven’t seen grandpa’s basement yet!” Jiang Gu pulled Jiang Xia over and spoke in a childish voice.

There’s a cellar here!

The so-called cellar was a place to store food. In order to make it easier to store vegetables and grain, the villagers would dig deep pits underground. Because it was underground, it had the effect of keeping it warm in the winter and cool in the summer, so the food would not go bad.

Jiang Xia had no impression of this cellar because her thinking was still stuck in the modern world. Secondly, the Jiang family had never opened the cellar in front of Jiang Chuan’s family. They would always take out food from the cellar behind their back. They would eat the food in secret and would not leave anything for them.

Everyone heard Jiang Gu’s words and turned to look at Old Lady Jiang, who was still jabbering about Jiang Chuan.

The old lady noticed that everyone was looking at her, and an inexplicable ominous feeling rose in her heart. She asked, “What are you looking at me for?” “We need to check your cellar.” One of the villagers said.

“No!” Old lady Jiang’s reaction was very big. She only shut her mouth after her husband glared at her.

“There is nothing to see in the cellar. In fact, we can’t see much in the middle of the night.” Jiang Fu, the head of the Jiang family, said.

Perhaps Jiang Gu had hit the nail on the head, as Jiang Gui also spoke with some excitement, “Yup! Village chief! Why are you looking at the cellar so late at night? It’s so dark.”

“Since we are already here, open it and we will have a look.”

The village chief ignored them and insisted on opening the cellar.

Jiang Fu had no choice but to lead the group to the entrance of the cellar and dawdled to find the key.

“Old man, there’s no point in you stalling time now! We have to look at this cellar no matter what. The longer you wait, the more we will think something suspicious is going on.” A young man shouted..
