Chapter Five: Thieves in the middle of the night

Outside the house, the three naughty children looked at each other.

"Second brother, what should I do... Winter is coming soon, we will freeze to death without a quilt..." Shen Jinzhao looked at Shen Jinzhao in fear, the cold wind blew against her face, and she couldn't help but sneeze.

"Daddy will definitely come back before winter. The biggest problem now is that we have no food." Shen Jin put his hand into his pocket, and the last three coins looked particularly lonely.

"Then what should I do? I don't want to go hungry." Shen Suisui rubbed his belly dissatisfied.

In the past, the stepmother had figured out how to do this, and they never had to worry about it. Now the burden fell on them, and the three little beans began to worry.

Shen Jinjin looked up at the hut where Nan Jiangnan lived alone: ​​"That woman must still have something to eat."

"But she won't give it to us." Shen Jinzhao shook his head. The current stepmother is too difficult to deal with.

"If she doesn't give it to her, why can't we rob it? We were careless this time. We hid the food after we robbed it at night. Even if she wanted to attack, she probably wouldn't be able to do it." Shen clenched his fists today, his eyes filled with hatred.

When he takes away all Nan Jiangnan's money, Nan Jiangnan will also be hungry and kneel down to beg him!

midnight.

Nan Jiangnan had already fallen asleep, but suddenly he heard sparse sounds coming from outside the door. In the darkness, a pair of cunning eyes slowly opened. Nan Jiangnan smiled brightly. Did he take the bait again?

Nan Jiangnan rolled his eyes. After getting up in his clothes, he used other clothes to make a figure on the bed to confuse the audience, and he hid behind the door.

The moonlight was bright and clear, and the three little beans didn't dare to say anything, so they secretly opened the window.

"That's great, the stupid woman didn't lock the window!" Shen Suisui was so excited when she found that the window was unlocked and couldn't wait to rush in to find something to eat.

On the side, Shen Jinjin held him down cautiously: "Keep your voice down, don't make too much noise."

Shen Jin did not dare to climb through the window and stayed at the door.

Shen Jinjin and Shen Suisui held hands with each other and went straight to the money box after entering the house.

Suddenly, a noose fell down, and immediately after, Shen Suisui felt like he had been slapped hard by something. Before he could see the figure clearly, he was tied to the side.

"Good sons, do you miss your mother so much when you stay up so late at night?" Nan Jiangnan smiled half-heartedly.

"Nan, you bitch, you actually set a trap to catch us!" Shen came back to his senses today and cursed loudly. Nan Jiangnan pulled out a rag and stuffed it into his mouth, and tied the two people together: "Noisy" It’s a thief! It’s a thief!”

Nan Jiangnan shouted outside the door, turning the room upside down.

Shen Jinchao at the door was stunned. Her two brothers had been discovered. What was she going to do?

Shen Jinchao wanted to run away, but after hearing the news, the neighbors came over with candlelights. The bright light fell on Shen Jinchao's face, catching the little girl off guard and wishing she could dig a hole and get in.

Xia Shengsheng was the closest and was the first to come over. Seeing Shen Jinjin and Shen Suisui being tied up with rags stuffed in their mouths, being watched by a little beast, he immediately cursed: "Nan Jiangnan, what are you doing?" What? Could it be that we want to kidnap the two children and sell them to human traffickers?"

"What are you selling? This is the little thief I caught in the house!" Nan Jiangnan turned sideways, and the house was turned into a mess. "You three didn't sleep in the middle of the night. What were you doing in my house?"

"We didn't do anything!" Shen was still insisting today.

Nan Jiangnan looked at the little girl on the side and decided to use her as a breakthrough point: "If I don't explain this matter clearly today, I will report it to the official. If this is in the hands of the official, it will not be a simple problem that can be solved. Already."

The child had done something bad and was most afraid of being discovered by many people. Looking at the crowd of people outside the door, Shen Jinzhao couldn't hold back for a moment and started crying: "Yes, it was the second brother who said he came to steal things. I, I... ..." Shen Jinchao said incoherently. He didn't expect such a big child to actually learn to steal. The crowd watching looked particularly unkind.

"Nan, are they like this because you treated them harshly?" Is there something hidden in this?"

"Zhongzhonglou is a good person, but he is not at home all year round. It is not impossible that the child will grow crooked due to lack of education." Nan Jiangnan said confidently, looking at Xia Shengsheng funny, "According to what you mean, if it is Your father and mother are not good to you, so you still steal things from home?"

"How could I!" When it came to his own reputation, Xia Shengsheng immediately retorted, "And my parents have always treated me very well, and I am also the biological child of my parents."

"So you're going to blame me as the stepmother?" Nan Jiangnan couldn't help but sneer. Xia Shengsheng almost had the words "Green Tea Bitch" written on her face. "Since you said that I am lax in discipline, then I will Just discipline them well so that no one will say I don’t know how to care for my husband and raise my children."

"According to the laws of my dynasty, theft should be punished with twenty canes."

"But they are still children after all..." Nan Jiangnan looked at the thin bamboos in the yard.

Although the bamboo is thin, it hurts and leaves no trace when hitting someone. Nan Jiangnan walked towards the three of them with the bamboo and said, "Just use this bamboo strip instead."

"No, don't..."

The three people had tears in their eyes and faces full of fear, but no one around them interceded for them.

Nan Jiangnan raised his hand and hit several people with bamboo sticks. Although the skin was not bruised, their faces were pale and fear filled their hearts. Their wailing cries resounded through the whole village in the middle of the night. The onlookers took a breath of air-conditioning, but None of them stopped me.

Xia Shengsheng looked worried and wanted to help but felt it was inappropriate. After all, Nan Jiangnan was the matron of the Shen family, not to mention that stealing itself was a felony!

After twenty strokes, it was almost dawn. Nan Jiangnan threw the bamboo stick aside and said coldly: "I was too lenient to you before, which is why you grew up like this. From now on, I will never be soft-hearted again." , I will be a strict mother."

Since some naughty children don't like their loving mother, she doesn't mind being a vicious stepmother.

The three people had always been the little bullies in the village, and now they were beaten in front of their own homes. This was undoubtedly a form of torture for several people.

Shen Jinchao was already out of breath from crying. Shen Jinjin and Shen Suisui glared at Nan Jiangnan fiercely, their eyes as red as rabbits.

The onlookers gradually dispersed, and the ropes on the three naughty children were not untied. Xia Shengsheng stepped forward because of her awkward position. The three children stood outside the house in embarrassment, staring at her resentfully, wishing they could just kill Nan Jiang. The south is torn.

"Even if I beat you, no one will intercede for you now. You should reflect on it in the yard."

After Nan Jiangnan said that, he ignored the murderous looks of several children and returned to the hut alone.

Calculating the days, Shen Niannian, the eldest brother of several children, should be back.

It was already freezing in late autumn, and the three children huddled together. When they were drowsy, they felt someone approaching. Shen Tianjin opened his eyes vigilantly, and what he saw was their eldest brother, Shen Niannian.

Shen Niannian's face was sharp and angular. Unlike the other three who still looked childish, Shen Niannian's body already had an adult demeanor.
