The thief didn't expect that what he had done had been revealed, and he didn't expect that there were people behind him who were about to dig out his nest, surrounded by a mass grave, and the head of the mass grave flickered with phosphorus fire, and the father and the two feet followed the man lightly, and from time to time startled the unknown little animals to run around.

The thief often walked this night road, and there was no fear of walking alone in the black and dong fields, maybe it was a lot of harvest tonight. In a good mood, the thief even hummed a little song.

Hearing the thief humming a little song, the father and the two were stunned again: Good girl, this guy is still a woman!

That's right, this thief is indeed a woman, and her family lives in the village called Donkey Ditch in front, which is not big, with more than a dozen families and more than 100 people. The people in the village are all surnamed Chen, this female thief is a widow, and the dead man is called Chen Er, so everyone in the village calls her Chen Er's widow on weekdays!

There is a way to rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water to eat the water, this donkey ditch has not relied on both ends since the establishment of the village! There are no mountains and no water around, and every household basically lives by planting a few acres of potatoes and eggs! If anyone can eat a meal of pork, the whole village will be red for half a month!

Chen Er died early, leaving his daughter-in-law alone with three dolls, the eldest of whom was only a teenager! Half the size of the child, eat the poor Lao Tzu, plus the already poor, the second widow Chen really can't stand a few dolls to build, the so-called people are poor and short-minded, it just so happened that the power plant was built near the village, the second widow Chen was forced to survive, and had to pretend to be a ghost to start the idea of the construction site The father and the old fat man followed the second widow Chen all the way into the village, and the second widow Chen was really powerful, carrying hundreds of pounds of things on the road without stopping. After turning around, Widow Chen stopped in front of a small earthen courtyard, and it seemed that she had arrived home! The second widow Chen looked back in front of the courtyard gate, but did not find the father and the two who were hiding in the corner, and saw that there was no movement! Then the door was opened and entered the courtyard.

Seeing the second widow Chen enter the courtyard, his father and the old fat man also walked out of the hideout, and when they arrived, they found that the door of the courtyard was really broken, just like a coffin board that had just been dug out of the soil, hanging on the door frame slowly, the old fat man was about to raise his foot to kick the door, but was stopped by his father, and there was a piece missing above the broken door, and his father reached in from that opening and gently opened the door bolt!

The two of them entered the courtyard with their front and back feet, raised their eyes and swept their eyes, and the old fat man frowned and said, "This woman shouldn't really be a ghost!" How can anyone live in this place? ”

The small courtyard was very dilapidated, and there was a pigsty against the west wall, which collapsed. There was a chicken coop on the east side, which also collapsed. I don't know what year the main house of the occupants was built in an adobe house, the walls are scattered with weeds, there is no glass on the windows, a few pieces of white paper are pasted, and the wind blows, crackling! There was a slight candlelight in the window, if it weren't for this candlelight, my father would really think that he had seen an evil spirit, this house looked like it had been abandoned for decades, and no one would live in it except for that!

However, the second widow Chen lived here, and the father and the old fat man were not wicked people, and when they saw this dilapidated scene in the courtyard, they also guessed that the life of this woman who stole things must be extremely hard, and she was immediately embarrassed to shout to catch the thief.

However, since it has come, of course, I still have to go in, and I won't be held accountable for the previous things, but at least I have to go back to the welding machine, so I lost it for no reason, and the responsibility definitely fell on the two fathers!

With his mind decided, his father went up and knocked on the door. He said softly: "Eldest sister, please open the door, we are on the construction site, just say a few words and leave..."

It was the second widow Chen who opened the door, of course, the father and the old fat man didn't know her name at this time, but they saw such a thin woman up close, and she stole more than 100 catties of welding machines by herself! I can't help but be secretly surprised...

The second widow Chen looked at her father and the two in work clothes, her face was embarrassed, stealing things made the owner of the family find the door, and everyone would be ashamed to get into the cracks!

Father also felt embarrassed, knocking on the door of people's mothers in the middle of the night, although there was a reason, but after all, it was not a glorious thing, I just looked forward to finding the welding machine as soon as possible to go home! Yes, my father smiled at the second widow Chen, bowed his head and led the old fat man into the house, as soon as he entered the house, my father saw the local electric machine, next to the welding machine is a clay kang, next to the earthen kang is a stove, there is a black iron pot on it, there are a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks along the stove, the bed is piled up on the kang with a broken quilt of exposed cotton, and a few yellow-faced and thin dolls are squeezed inside, the dolls have probably just been awakened from their sleep, and they are staring at the father with small eyes and horror, the youngest of them is still holding a potato peel in his hand...

The father didn't expect to see such a scene, these children are all yellow and thin, with a vegetable face, looking at long-term malnutrition, and then reaching out to touch the soil kang, it is cold!

Seeing this scene, my father also knew that what he guessed was true, this family was indeed having a hard time, and after asking carefully, I learned that the second widow Chen had long lost a man, and she pulled three children by herself, and the family was out of food for several days, and the potato skins were gone, and a few days ago she saw that other people in the village stole things from the construction site and could sell them for money, so she thought about changing some rice and flour money, so she took the fake ghost she made into the construction site, and wanted to pretend to be a ghost to scare the father and the two, and not let her father go out, so she took the opportunity to steal some scrap copper and rotten iron, I didn't expect to be recognized...

If you want to say that she doesn't know what a welding machine is, she just feels that this iron lump is dead and sinking, and it is estimated that she can sell scrap iron for a few more money, so she turned her back, and she wanted to wait for tomorrow to collect the rags to exchange money to buy rice and noodles, but she didn't want to let her father chase her family so soon, and when it came to the worst, she couldn't cry, begging her father to see that they were orphans and widows and let her go, don't arrest her to the police station!

The old fat man sighed when he heard this, and without saying a word, he and his father immediately took out all the money in their pockets and stuffed it into the second widow Chen, asking her to buy rice and noodles tomorrow to live, and other things can rest assured, they will not embarrass their orphans and widows. As for the electric welding machine, it is used for work, so it must be carried back! This matter will not be pursued in the future!

When the second widow Chen saw that her father not only did not arrest her, but also gave her money to buy food, she was so excited that she knelt down to thank her father for their great kindness! The father hurriedly stopped and said, "Eldest sister, you can't steal the things on the construction site in the future!" So, every day I throw some useless scraps outside the fence, and you can pick them up and sell them for some money! How much can I subsidize some households! The second widow Chen heard this and hurriedly agreed.

The things were recovered, the father and they were not good to stay longer, and the old fat head raised the welding machine and was ready to go back to the construction site, Chen Er's widow looked at it, and hurriedly beckoned the children on the kang to get up and send their father to them, the dolls were also sensible, and saw that the father and the old fat man were not bad people, and they all obediently stood up and waved to the father and the two to see each other again, this beckoning, one of the fifteen or six years old girl baby was holding something in her hand, which attracted the attention of her father...
