"So when the Li clan members wanted to capture that thief and bring him to the ancestral hall, I knew that the elders hadn't arrived yet, so it would be difficult to snatch him away."
Chu Xing's news shocked everyone. "Waiting for a chance? Wasn't this the thief's first time in the village?"
Madam Liu asked while frowning. Even if this thief was caught, there might still be more.
As for Madam Ye, she had always been living with two children. It was inevitable that they would be targeted.
After all, everyone in the village knew that Third Brother was a scholar. The scholar's family had property, and the man was not around. The woman and children would easily be targeted by anyone. Moreover, Madam Ye's health was not good.
