Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Robbed by Thieves Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Robbed by Thieves “Slap–!”
Gu Baofu, hiding in the woods, was so itchy from all the mosquito bites that he couldn’t help but reach out to slap at them, only to accidentally land a smack on Mrs. Zhang’s face.
Mrs. Zhang was already furious!
After being slapped by Gu Baofu, she got so angry that she pinched his arm hard. “You idiot, why the hell did you hit me?”
Gu Baofu was furious too.
He had been dragged out of bed by Mrs. Zhang in the middle of the night to steal fish.
And now, look what happened, they hadn’t caught any fish and were stuck feeding the mosquitos in this dark forest; Gu Baofu, very annoyed, cursed at Mrs. Zhang, “Shut up!”
It was all that stupid woman’s fault.
If it weren’t for that dimwit Mrs. Zhang.
They wouldn’t be stuck here feeding the mosquitos now.
Mrs. Zhang’s body was also itching intensely, and she couldn’t help but constantly reach out to slap at the bugs; she and Gu Baofu were so close, both squatting together.
As Mrs. Zhang tried to hit the mosquitos, she also accidentally hit Gu Baofu several times.
“You dimwit woman, you hit me again.”
Gu Baofu glared at Mrs. Zhang.
Indeed, there were many mosquitos. As Gu Baofu was cursing at Mrs. Zhang, he got bitten all over again and quickly stopped scolding her to continue swatting at the mosquitos. Uncomfortable from hiding, Mrs. Zhang craned her neck to sneak a peek at Su Yunjin.
She wanted Su Yunjin to leave quickly.
But she noticed that little wretch Su Yunjin just wouldn’t go away.
So much time had passed!
That little wretch was still standing there.
With an attitude that clearly showed she had no intention of leaving.
Mrs. Zhang ground her teeth.
By now, Mrs. Zhang had seen the light.
Previously, Mrs. Zhang might not have known, but at this moment, even she, as dimwitted as she was, understood that Su Yunjin had probably guessed they would steal the fish.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have set up a basin of water at the door to trap her and her husband, Gu Baofu!
Speaking of that basin of water.
Mrs. Zhang squeezed her hand and her clothes were soaked.
A handful each time she wringed them out.
Mrs. Zhang’s face darkened even more with anger.
Now they couldn’t get out or leave. Mrs. Zhang, squatting in the little grove, glared at Su Yunjin with hatred, her gums almost biting through a thousand times over in her rage.
On the other hand, after the young wife went out, she hadn’t come back for a long time. Gu Ya couldn’t understand why his wife suddenly flipped over and jumped out, or why she hadn’t returned after such a long time.
A woman going out alone late at night.
He was worried about his wife.
Gu Ya wanted to go out and check, but his legs were immobile.
He simply couldn’t go down.
There was no other way.
Gu Ya had no choice but to continue waiting in bed for his wife to come back.
Outside, Su Yunjin estimated that Mrs. Zhang and Gu Baofu had been bitten all over, so she took her time returning with the oil lamp.
When Gu Ya saw his wife, he asked anxiously, “Yunjin, have you finally come back? What on earth happened?”
“We had a thief; I just went out to catch the thief and came back.” She casually threw the iron rod in her hand onto the table, then lit the oil lamp inside the house.
Gu Ya was somewhat surprised. “A thief? Was there a thief just now? So that’s why you went out?”
Su Yunjin pointed at the iron rod on the table, “Husband, look at this iron rod; it’s what the thief left behind.” Gu Ya looked towards the not-so-long iron rod.
One could tell at a glance it was used for picking locks.
Thinking of the embarrassed and fleeing figures of Mrs. Zhang and Gu Baofu, Su Yunjin inwardly speculated that she would certainly see her swollen-faced sister-in-law and her brother Gu Baofu first thing in the morning.
She was somewhat looking forward to seeing the sight of them covered in bumps from the bites!
With Su Yunjin’s explanation, Gu Ya quickly connected all the previous events and looked at his wife with certainty.
“Yunjin, does this mean you guessed early on that someone would come to steal our things?”
