“Aunties, why don’t you think back? Did you notice when that evil person sneaked into the village?” Ye Muyu said.

Madam Qian added, “Such a big stranger appeared in the village, and we didn’t even know. This is similar to the thief who appeared before the Dragon Boat Festival. It seems that we have to pay more attention to strangers coming and going in the future. It’s too scary.”

“I really didn’t notice…” Chu An’s wife, Madam Zheng, frowned. She thought about it carefully and shook her head gently. “Strangers come to deliver goods from time to time at the bridgehead. We all live in the village. We haven’t gone out for a long time except to buy a pot of soy sauce at the bridgehead.”

Madam Zheng was telling the truth. The Chu family left their homes even less often because of the national filial piety rule and the promise they made to Chu Heng.

At this time, the wife of the eldest brother of the Wang family, Madam Song, slapped her legs and said, “Now that Ah Heng’s wife asked, I suddenly remembered that when I went to the bridgehead to buy some rags from Aunt Hu, I vaguely saw two men delivering goods to Aunt Hu’s shop. When I left, there was only one person.”

“I didn’t notice it at that time. I thought I was seeing things.”

“Now that I think about it, could that person have come with that mule cart?”

Madam Song said in bewilderment.

The others were also attracted by this topic.

“Are you sure, Madam Song?” she asked hurriedly.

“How can I be sure?” Madam Song shook her head.

“Then do you think it’s possible that the person came to the village at night and hid in the school while everyone was asleep?” Madam Qian could not help but guess.

Madam Kong immediately denied it. “That’s impossible. The two families next to the school have dogs. The back of the school faces the river, and the front faces the street. The front is Teacher Lin’s room… Wait a minute… Perhaps it’s really possible…”

Madam Sun followed up. “Yes, I saw that the wall of the school is not high. I really can’t tell if he sneaked in in the middle of the night or if he followed the delivery mule cart as the Madam Song said.”

“It must be at night. How can we not be discovered during the day?”

“That’s right. I think it’s more likely that it’s at night. It’s late at night. Even if the dog barks, it’s impossible for them to go to school to check it out.”

“If you ask me, the broken porcelain pieces on the wall are really useful.” Madam Qian took advantage of the situation and said.

“Isn’t that so? That academy’s walls are too low, so people can easily enter.” Everyone agreed.

“Moreover, he’s so skilled.”

“I think Ah Heng’s servants are tall and strong. They have some strength.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to catch that villain.”

“Ah Yu, how much did the servants cost? Is it expensive now?” Madam Kong of the fourth branch could not help but gossip. She thought to herself that if the price was cheap, she would also buy one. Not only would they be able to help with the work, but they could also prevent evil people from coming to her house without eyes. She could also gain face. Why not?

The most important thing was that she realized that Brother Heng’s family seemed to be getting richer and richer. They had two new servants now. Even Old Wu at home was temporarily lent to her by Brother Heng.

He said that it was to compensate everyone for abiding by the rules and not being able to travel far away.

She was happy, but this benefit could not last long. She was used to Old Wu working hard and wanted to live the life of a rich housewife. That was why she had such thoughts..
