During the lean years, I relied on space to pamper my husband and raise my children.

So when they heard that Shen Qianning was willing to ask them to work, they were absolutely willing.

After hearing the news, Mr. Xiao found Shen Qianning, and Qiu Shui also came with Mr. Xiao.

When Uncle Xiao arrived, Shen Qianning was picking beans.

Qiu Shui took out two stools from the house and placed them.

Sitting next to Shen Qianning, she then helped pick beans and said, "I heard that you agreed to Aunt Wu's request?"

Shen Qianning knew that Aunt Wu's propaganda was very powerful.

He nodded and said, "I agreed. As long as they do their job well, it will be the same for everyone."

The breath of autumn is getting stronger and stronger. After the hottest summer, the rice in the fields is getting more and more yellow.

However, Shen Qianning discovered that there were some strangers near the village.

The incident jolted her awake.

Why do these strangers come to the village?And what is the purpose of these strangers coming to the village?

After thinking about it carefully, Shen Qianning felt that he should arrest someone and ask him.

She called Xiao Dongsheng and several other slightly older teenagers in the village together.

Those people wandering around the village were also noticed by the villagers.

But every time the villagers wanted to chase him, those people would run away.

This is why no one has been arrested and the reason is unknown.

When Xiao Dongsheng heard that he was going to catch those people wandering around the village, he immediately became interested.

"Sister Shen, tell me what to do!"

Several other teenagers also looked at Shen Qianning, wondering what Shen Qianning would say.

Shen Qianning said seriously: "We must find out the purpose of those people coming. The autumn harvest is coming soon. There are many people who have not planted food. God knows what these people are planning, so we must take precautions."

After discussing together for a while, several people decided to set a trap.

Just do it.

Sure enough, a man was caught the next day after setting the trap.

This man had a sinister appearance, probably in his forties, and his skinny appearance suggested he was suffering from chronic malnutrition.

Thinking about it, because of his age, he was not arrested and sent to the border in the end.

Uncle Xiao and the villagers came and looked around the tied man.

Uncle Xiao said: "I don't know him."

He still knows a lot of people from all over the country. Even if he can't name them, he can still look familiar to them.

But he had never seen this sinister-looking man in front of him.

Shen Qianning held the short whip used to drive the carriage in his hand, stared at the man sharply and said, "Tell me what your name is! Where you come from, and what is the purpose of coming to our village."

The man's eyes rolled around.

But in his heart, he was thinking about how to escape from here.

It is said that those with scheming eyes are not good people.

When Shen Qianning saw the man like this, coupled with the man's sinister appearance, he felt that this man was not a good person.

He warned: "I advise you to tell the truth about your origin and purpose, otherwise the whip in my hand will not recognize anyone."

The man finally spoke, but his voice was a bit sharp, which always made people uncomfortable.

"I was passing by the village and I don't know why you arrested me."

passing by?

Shen Qianning smiled contemptuously and said: "Niwo Village is the last village on this road. Which way are you passing by? Besides, I have seen you and your accomplices five or six times near the village. I will give you the opportunity. If you don't explain it properly, I can only It’s time for torture, Dongsheng, hang him up for me.”

Xiao Dongsheng and several young men directly hung the man up, regardless of his wails.

Rarely, no one in the village stopped him, and no one thought it was wrong.

Look!

As long as everyone's interests are touched, everyone will unite.

After Shen Qianning hung the man up, he also used the whip in his hand.

With a "pop" sound, the man's whine became louder.

Shen Qianning was not polite and continued to beat him.

"Do you want to explain it?" Shen Qianning asked coldly.

The man finally couldn't stand it anymore and said quickly: "I said, I said, put me down quickly and stop beating me. If you beat me again, I will die."

Shen Qianning just stopped beating, but did not put the man down.

"Tell me where you come from and what your purpose is."

The man stuttered and said, "I'm from the county next door. Our county also suffered from a severe drought. During the spring plowing, many people didn't catch up. We just wanted to come out and steal some food."

Shen Qianning showed an expression of sudden realization, and it was exactly as she imagined.

These people are here just for the food.

"Then why are you targeting our village?"

The man hurriedly said: "We are also walking around. When we see villages where the crops are growing well, we stop. When we pass by your village and see that the rice in your fields is growing very well, we just..."

I have to say that Shen Qianning’s rice is indeed very good.

The rice grown in the village is so sparse that it cannot even cover the fields.

But Shen Qianning's family is different. They are densely packed with long tassels, and everyone in the village is envious of them!

However, no one suspected anything. They just felt that Shen Qianning's family was lucky, the grain they bought was good, and Shen Qianning was diligent in fertilizing.

Shen Qianning did not let go of the man, she wanted to fish.

Since the man came from the next county and came with him, he would definitely come to rescue him after he was caught.

This time she did not do things behind the back of the villagers, but said in front of everyone: "You also heard that they came to steal our food. Let's discuss what to do next!"

According to the man's account, there were more than forty people in total. Whether they were men or women, they were all good at work, and they had already discussed a plan.

As soon as the crops mature, they can go to the fields at night and steal as much as they can.

People in the village look forward to the crops in the fields maturing.

I hate these people who steal food.

The few families who came back later did not catch up with the spring plowing, but this time it was rare that they were united.

This also comforted Shen Qianning a little. At least, he didn't feel uncomfortable asking them to work after the rice was mature.

Uncle Xiao worriedly said: "They are all prepared. There are not many people in our village and I am worried..."

Lady Shi had a fierce look on her face: "Whoever dares to steal my food, I dare to fight him to the death."

Only Shen Qianning's family has the most rice in the village.

Of course Mr. Xiao is worried.

Asked: "An Ning, do you have any plans?"

Shen Qianning glanced at the arrested man and sneered: "I will go to the city tomorrow and send this man to the government."

Discussing strategies must not be done in front of men.

So she gave Old Man Xiao a wink and arranged for Xiao Dongsheng and a few teenagers to stay and watch the man.

Then we went to Uncle Xiao’s yard with the villagers.

Shen Qianning looked around at the people present and said: "When it comes to other villages, everyone must unite. Everyone has no opinion on this."

If there are still people who want to stay out of the incident this time, she will remember them one by one.
