Because the loyal army had to pack up and report to school in the afternoon, a group of people went down the mountain as soon as they finished lunch.

"Xiao Nian, if you go to the mountains next time, remember to call me." Before parting, Zhao Shaohang said to Xie Xiaonian.

"Okay, no problem, I'm sure you'll have your share." Xie Xiaonian saw that Zhao Shaohang was so happy today, so he responded with a smile.

When the family returned home happily and opened the door, their faces immediately pulled down.

"Ah, Mom, my vegetables, my vegetables!" As soon as Tang Yuan saw the pot of tomatoes she planted in the yard, the seedlings were broken and broken, and the tomatoes were all picked regardless of size, so she immediately cried and shouted.

Seeing that the vegetables they had worked so hard to grow for two months were destroyed like this, the meatballs and green onions also began to cry with the rice balls.

Although Heping didn't cry, he clenched his fists and looked very angry, and he didn't know who ruined his hard work.

Although the vegetables planted in the pancakes were eaten early, and the vegetables he planted were not destroyed at this time, but when he saw his two sisters crying so sadly, he was also angry.

"The vegetables in the backyard have also been picked, and the vegetable seedlings have been broken a lot." Taking advantage of Xie Xiaonian's efforts to coax a few children, Xu Zhongjun walked into the backyard, looked at the situation in the backyard and said.

Seeing that although a few children no longer cried, they were still very aggrieved, Xu Zhongjun hurried to comfort a few children after talking about the situation in the backyard.

"Our family is a thief, this thief is really bad, just pick the vegetables that have been cooked, why do you pick all the things that have just been knotted and can't be eaten, and also destroy the seedlings like this, how to produce vegetables in the future!" Luo Changsong said angrily.

"Dad, don't be angry, it's not good if you're angry, the most important thing for us now is to find out the thief and let him receive the punishment he deserves." Xie Xiaonian persuaded.

"Xiaobai, can you smell who stole the family's dishes?" Xie Xiaonian turned his head and asked Xiao Baidao beside him.

"It's the neighbor Zhou's widow/wife, she turned over from the corner of the firewood house." Xiaobai replied immediately.

"Xiao Nian, did you ask, who stole it?" Seeing Xie Xiaonian asking Xiaobai, Zhongjun hurriedly asked.

"Xiaobai said that Zhou's widow/woman came over the wall from the firewood room to steal it." Xie Xiaonian stated.

"It turned out to be her, our family has no fate with her, we can't finish the vegetables we planted before, you also took the initiative to send it to her family once, she later came to the house to ask for a basket, why is she so gracious to take revenge, she took advantage of the fact that there is no one in our family to steal the family's vegetables." Luo Changsong said in disbelief.

Although this widow Zhou is usually mean-mouthed, she always cries poor to others, and loves to take advantage of writing, but he really didn't expect that Widow Zhou/woman would be such a person.

"Xiao Nian, what's wrong? Why do children cry so loudly? I've never heard your child cry before, what's wrong? As soon as Aunt Chen next door heard the cry of Tangyuan, she hurried over and said.

"What's going on with these dishes in your house? Didn't it look good before, but how did it become like this now? Aunt Chen turned her eyes to see the vegetables grown in the pot, and then asked.

"Our family went out to play today, and as soon as we came back, we saw such a scene, and several children couldn't help crying when they saw that all the vegetables they had worked so hard to grow had been destroyed." Xie Xiaonian explained aloud.

"Who is this? Even if you steal your vegetables, how can you tear the seedlings like this, and how will you grow vegetables in the future? Aunt Chen scolded loudly.

"Isn't it, my family's vegetables are more knotted, and I usually can't finish eating, so I will also send some to the neighbors around me, you said that the neighbors on both sides, which family has not eaten the dishes I sent, and I don't know who is so lacking in virtue, not only the vegetables in the front yard have been destroyed, but even the backyard has been harmed." Xie Xiaonian said angrily.

"The backyard is also destroyed? Who is this, why is it so lacking in morality, how can it be bad for the population, this is simply a human life. Xiao Nian, you go to the police station to call the police, this matter is not big, it is not small, but you can't let such a thief get away with it. Aunt Chen said with an idea.

Because the movement of Xiao Nian's house is not small, and today is Sunday, many workers are resting at home, so one after another, many people have gathered in the courtyard of Xie Xiaonian's house.

And the culprit of this incident, Widow Zhou/woman also pretended to crowd in the crowd.

Xie Xiaonian knew that if there was no evidence, Widow Zhou's wife would definitely not admit that she had done it, so Xie Xiaonian secretly instructed Xiaobai to go to Widow Zhou's house to get a piece of evidence that could clearly prove her identity and throw it in the backyard.

After less than two minutes, when Xiaobai said that it had been done, Xie Xiaonian no longer fought against the thief with everyone, and said to everyone: "Everyone has lived here longer than me, and they must be very familiar with everyone here, and please help, search the front and back yards of my house to see if I can find clues to the thief, so that I will call the police later, and I will state the facts when the police come." ”

"No problem, such a thief must not be forgiven, otherwise the next one will suffer, and I don't know whose family it is!" Aunt Chen immediately agreed.

Her words also raised the enthusiasm of those who originally thought that it was none of their business, but just watched the fun, and if it was their own home that was stolen once, they would cry.

Among the people who helped to find evidence, the widow was the most active.

Although she thought that she had done very carefully and had no evidence left here, she still actively helped to find the evidence, thinking that if there was really any evidence left, she would find it and destroy it as soon as possible.

After everyone looked for it for less than a minute, Aunt Chen immediately raised a silver ring and said to Xiao Nian: "Xiao Nian, is this your ring?" How can it be in a vegetable patch? ”

"No, it's not my ring, I don't have a silver ring like this in my house." Xie Xiaonian shook his head and said.

Xie Xiaonian's family does not have a single silver ornament except for the child's longevity lock.

"Could this have been in your backyard, left by the previous owner of the yard, but you didn't find out?" Hearing the movement, a neighbor who came around guessed.

"Impossible, I found it so easily, how could Xiao Nian's family not find it when he turned over the land and farmed, and this silver ring is so bright, it is often carried at first glance." Aunt Chen retorted.

And the people who discussed didn't see it, when Zhou widow/woman came around, as soon as they saw the ring in Mrs. Chen's hand, they were immediately frightened, and unconsciously took a small step back.

That ring was her dowry when she got married, and she usually cherished it very much, and she never wore it when she was working.

When she came to steal Xie Xiaonian's food, she specially put the ring in the box in advance and put it away, how could it fall here at this time, is it the hell?

"Why is this ring so familiar, how do I look so much like Zhou Lan's." Li Chuntao saw the ring in Aunt Chen's hand and said suspiciously.

And the Zhou Lan she said was the name of Zhou's widow/wife.

"Hey, it's true, you didn't say that I didn't find it, and now the more I look at it, the more I think it's the widow of Zhou." Jiang Cauliflower opened his mouth and continued.

Now that her husband has a job, and the Lao Tian family has also separated, because there are no children and no pressure, the two of them live a very nourishing life, and Jiang Cauliflower's waist is getting straighter and straighter, so in front of so many people, the voice is still loud.

After listening to what the two said, the others also felt that this ring seemed to be the one that Widow Zhou often wore to show off, and they all turned their heads to look at Widow Zhou, who was standing on the side.

"This is indeed my ring, but I've been losing it for days, and I didn't expect it to fall into your backyard." Widow Zhou pretended to be surprised and said.

After Widow Zhou finished speaking, she wanted to reach out and grab the ring from Aunt Chen's hand.

It's a pity that Aunt Chen couldn't let her get her wish, and she turned sideways, so she pounced.

"You said you've lost your ring for days, so how many days have you lost it?" Xie Xiaonian asked seriously.

"I can't remember, but it feels like it's been days." Widow Zhou's eyes flickered and said.

"Do you remember the last time you saw Widow Zhou with this ring?" Xie Xiaonian asked the people around him.

"I know, two days ago, Zhou's widow / wife still wore this ring to show me, saying that this is her dowry, and said that I am a rural person, I am afraid that when I get married, let alone a silver ring, there is not even a copper one, and we also have a few words because of this, and several people in our courtyard have heard this." Jiang Caihua immediately came out to identify.

Widow Zhou's own life is not easy, and she still wants to find a sense of superiority in herself, so she often talks about her identity as a rural person in front of her, intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Caihua has long hated it, and she has such an opportunity to fall into the well, where is she willing to let it go.

And Jiang Caihua, who didn't like to talk before, and now everyone doesn't like to talk to her, doesn't know that Zhou's widow/woman is also from the countryside, but after taking over her man's class, she moved her household registration to the city.

"Yes, I saw it too, and my mother and neighbor's aunt were still arguing at the time." A little girl said aloud.

Children don't lie, and as soon as this child says it, everyone else believes it.

"Then I only lost it in the past two days." Widow Zhou continued to quibble.

"Since it's your companion, and it's so cherished, why can't you even remember when you lost it, and the last time you came to my house, it was half a month ago, when you were just in my house, like I cried poorly, and then after asking for a basket of vegetables from my house, you left immediately, and you haven't been to my backyard at all, so how did you run to my backyard when you just lost the ring for two days? Could it be that the ring spreads its legs on its own, how do you explain this? Xie Xiaonian asked in a clear manner.
