"Only one sweet potato was stolen? The cabbages are alright?" Pei Qin inquired.
"The cabbages are untouched! It is just one sweet potato that got stolen!" the person from Sun Quanliang's family hastily replied.
"The sweet potatoes are ready to be harvested, curiosity from others is inevitable. Go back and keep a close watch!" Pei Qin, having snatched melons and dug up sweet potatoes herself when she was young, figured it could be any child from the families around, lured by curiosity and craving, sneaking out at night to dig one up.
Seeing that she wasn't pursuing the matter, the representatives from Sun Quanliang's family quickly expressed their gratitude and promised to keep a close watch, before hurrying off.
"It might have been them who stole it! And you just let them go without even a proper questioning!?" Pei Qian exclaimed furiously.
