Dressed as a little farmer's lucky treasure, God sends blessings and asks for forgiveness

Chapter 164: Opening and Encountering a Thief

[It’s not a bad thing to run into a thief right after opening. 】

As soon as this voice came out, Zhao Guocheng, Wang Ronghua, Min Wenying and others immediately looked towards the table in shock.

Zhao Shiying poked the strange woman standing next to her.

"Auntie, what is that person doing?" Zhao Shiying pointed at the tall and thin man.

The woman thought the baby could discover something, but when she turned around she saw the man putting money from the money store into his pockets.

"Catch the thief! A thief stole money." The woman screamed before Zhao Shiying could finish speaking.

The scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

When the tall and thin man heard this, he immediately stopped and moved away, trying to slip away.

Zhao Guocheng had already approached the tall and thin man as soon as Zhao Shiying's voice appeared.

As soon as the woman shouted, Zhao Guocheng captured her immediately.

"You actually dared to steal money. You are so brave." Zhao Guocheng shouted.

The villagers all retreated to the side, wishing to stay away from this thief.

"Who is this person? How dare he steal things so blatantly?" a woman asked curiously.

After all, this shop is opened by the family of Mrs. Wang's son-in-law. One should not give consideration to others. Mr. Wang's prestige in Wangjia Village is greater than that of the village chief. Who would be so desperate as to come here and commit suicide?

"Isn't this the village thief who is always stealing things? I didn't expect that he would be so bold today and steal money when there are many people around." The woman couldn't bear it anymore and spoke first.

Opening a grocery store in this village is beneficial to the people. The items in the grocery store are cheaper than those in the town. It is also much more convenient for the villagers to buy things as they don't have to go to the town, which indirectly helps them save money, trouble and time.

I didn't expect that someone who was looking for death would come here.

Everyone was talking about it.

"Let me go, I didn't steal the money, don't accuse me." The tall and thin man struggled, trying to break free from Zhao Guocheng's restraint.

But no matter how the tall and thin man struggled, Zhao Guocheng did not let up, holding his hand tightly and leaning back.

Qin Ming and Chen Dadong also hurried forward to help.

Chen Dadong took out a rope from somewhere and tied up the tall and thin man.

"You can't tie me up. I'm just here to buy things. You are wrongly accusing me and I won't accept it." The tall and thin man struggled even harder. If he was tied up, he would not be able to escape.

"The villagers are all watching us, what can we do to you? I tell you, you are really brave. You dared to steal things and ruin our business on the first day of our opening. This matter is not over yet. Several people saw you taking money out of the drawer just now.

Fellow villagers, when the yamen runners come, those who saw this can bear witness for me. You should know that opening this workshop in the village is a good thing for the village and the people. This thief is blind and dares to destroy it. We must punish him. Otherwise, there will be more thefts in the village in the future, which will damage the interests of our villagers. "When Zhao Guocheng said this, the villagers immediately became angry.

Everyone started discussing it.

"That makes sense. There are so many people here today, and this person dares to steal money so blatantly. If it's dark at night, wouldn't every household be in trouble?"

"Who said it wasn't true? There hasn't been any theft in our village for a long time, let alone stealing money. This idiot hasn't committed a crime in several years. Why did he go crazy and do something bad today?"

"I guess it's because they see others making money."

........

Someone quickly went to inform the village chief.

"I'll go call your grandfather." Min Wenying said and turned to leave, but Zhao Shiying's small hand grabbed her sleeve.

"Grandma, don't go. We can handle it. Grandpa must be in class now, so let's not disturb him." Zhao Shiying pulled Min Wenying's sleeve to prevent him from going.

"Ah? Really not?" Min Wenying was surprised.

"Yeah, don't worry. If we have to alarm Grandpa for such a small matter, then we are useless." Zhao Shiying nodded.

"Fellow villagers, Qin Ming, drive the ox cart to the town to report to the authorities, and come back quickly." Zhao Guocheng turned and looked at Qin Ming.

The tall and thin man who was still talking suddenly stopped talking, and was extremely worried.

"Good man, please don't report it to the police. I was wrong, I was really wrong. I will return all the money to you. Please don't report it to the police. I will never dare to do it again." The tall and thin man grabbed Zhao Guocheng's clothes and knelt down to beg.

Some of the villagers who had not believed it yet now believed it.

Fortunately, all those students went to private schools. If they were seen by those children, it would have set a bad example.

Everyone despises this kind of stealing. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Why do you steal money?

"Hmph~~ This is definitely not your first time stealing. You must be a repeat offender. If you don't report it to the police, you'll have to wait for the New Year's Eve dinner." Zhao Guocheng said angrily.

"Brother, please, I'm really not a repeat offender, this is just my first time...stealing, I won't dare to do it again, just let me go this time." Although Sanluozi was tied up, his desire to survive was so strong that he knelt down and kowtowed in a weird posture.

He begged for mercy and knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Guocheng and the villagers.

This scene is nothing short of shocking.

Some villagers were hesitant at this time, and some thought that the thief was just trying to gain sympathy. The villagers had long heard about Sanluozi's bad behavior.

Zhao Guocheng was a little at a loss when he saw the man crying and begging.

I was just angry just now. After all, my daughter's workshop just opened today, and this guy came to make trouble without knowing what was good for him. Who wouldn't be angry?

But if he really reports the matter to the police, this person will be ruined.

"Dad, since he apologized and begged so sincerely, why don't we not report it to the police?" Zhao Shiying said, pulling Zhao Guocheng's clothes.

Zhao Shiying had her own plans in mind.

"Okay, listen to my daughter." Zhao Guocheng nodded.

The tall and thin man finally breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Then take out all the money you have on you.

"There are a lot of them, quite a lot."

"This grocery store has just opened and it has made so much money."

"I estimate it to be two hundred coins."

"That's right, no wonder this man wants to steal money, he is just seeing that business is good."

........

Just as everyone was discussing this, someone shouted, "The village chief is here."

This matter naturally alarmed the village chief, who rushed over immediately after hearing the news.

He also didn't expect that some tough guy would dare to cause trouble on such a happy day.

Well, it turns out to be the village head Sanluozi.

This thing that ruined the village has brought shame to him, the village chief.

"Sanluozi, are you looking for death?" Village Chief Wang was so angry.
