hese people tried to steal from Lan ‘Er’s hut and were caught red-handed.

Lin Yiwei immediately shouted at the three women who had not fainted, “Li Cuihua, Liu Liujiao, Gu Sanniang, why are you here? And did you guys take these things out from Lan Er’s house?”

The reason why he used the word “take” instead of “steal” was that he had to consider the reputation of the entire village.

At that moment, Lin Dawei stepped forward and said to Lin Yiwei angrily, “Uncle Village Chief, why don’t you go into Lan Er’s house and take a look.
Are they only taking the things?”

Lin Yiwei was a fair and just village chief.
Otherwise, he and his youngest son would not have tried so hard to save Lin Yuelan three years ago.

Lin Yiwei frowned when he heard Lin Dawei.

Lin Yiwei strode to Lin Yuelan’s house.
When he saw the scene in the house, he finally understood why the usually nonchalant Lin Dawei was so angry.

Lin Yiwei was furious.
He pointed at Li Cuihua and the others and asked, “Li Cuihua, Liu Liujiao, Gu Sanniang, did you turn the girl’s house upside down while you were trying to steal from her?”

When the three women saw more villagers appear, they slowly regained their composure.
Gradually, they seemed to have gained some confidence and were no longer afraid.
However, they still had no strength.

Gu Sanniang was the first to regain her senses.
She now understood that the big white tiger in front of her would not dare to hurt them.

Hence, when she faced Lin Yiwei’s question, her face turned from pale to livid and from shock to anger.

She didn’t answer Lin Yiwei but instead glared at Lin Yuelan angrily and said in a weak and loud voice, “Village Chief, you have to give me justice.
Lin Yuelan, that damned jinx, actually sent a fierce tiger to scare us.
Daniu has fainted from shock.
Village chief, you have to properly punish the jinx.
Also, that big tiger will eat people.
You have to order the villagers to beat it to death!” Gu Sanniang jumped to accuse Lin Yuelan first.

When Lin Yiwei heard Gu Sanniang, his face was dark.
He reprimanded her sternly, “Gu Sanniang, we’ll talk about the tiger scare later.
Let me ask you, why were you in the girl’s house? Why did you mess up her house? And did you steal the stuff on the floor out of her house?”

Gu Sanniang was speechless.
She really couldn’t explain why she was there.
Was she going to admit that she had been there before dawn for her plan to steal from Lin Yuelan? Failing to find any silver, she grabbed the stuff from the house and left? However, she bumped into the white tiger at the door and was paralyzed with fear?

Of course, she could not say that.
It would solidify her reputation as a thief.
In the future, even if she was not dragged to court, the villagers would look down on her.

She didn’t want to be treated like that.

Gu Sanniang shrunk her neck and answered the village chief’s question with a little fear, “I … I … I didn’t steal anything.
I borrowed them.
That’s right.
I borrowed them from the jinx.”

Lin Yiwei was so angry that he could not control his anger.
How thick was this person’s skin to be able to say such words?

Just as Lin Yiwei was about to explode, an old and dignified voice suddenly came.
“Aren’t we supposed to be fighting a tiger? What are we doing standing around here?”
