As the group moved further away, until they were completely out of sight, Shu Yu let out a sigh of relief. She hoped that when chaos erupts at the Changjin Prefecture, it wouldn't affect Meng's family in Chenggu County.
"Let's go," Meng Yunzheng turned to her and said. The others who came to bid farewell, including Lan Hua, also turned back.
Shu Yu first went to the town's Lu shop and then bought some things for Xiaohuo outside. Actually, the Lu family didn't lack anything, as they had prepared everything for the child even before birth.
But Shu Yu couldn't resist bringing back some cute little things she saw.
By the time she returned to Fenghuai Street, both she and Yingxi were carrying multiple bags that couldn't fit all the items.
In the front hall, just as she was about to rest after putting down the things, Yingdong hurriedly walked in with Dazhuang.
Shu Yu was taken aback by Dazhuang's serious and angry expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master, someone entered the sunflower field and stole sunflower seeds," Dazhuang revealed, leaving Shu Yu stunned. After a moment, she narrowed her eyes slightly, "They were caught? But they're being detained in Shishi Village. The village chief wants me to decide how to deal with the person."
"First, tell me the details. Who are these people? Whose field did they steal from? Did they confess to anything?" Shu Yu asked.
Dazhuang then quickly recounted the whole incident. In fact, it all started with Xu Cai and Ge Qifei's affair. Last time, when Shu Yu went to Shishi Village, she saw people stealing and planting sunflowers, which made her suspect that someone might be selling or stealing sunflower seeds.
Dazhuang knew about this incident because he worked in the workshop.
So, he told Daqiang to keep an eye on their own sunflower field. He also warned other villagers.
However, they had limited resources, and the fields were spread out, so they couldn't watch over them properly even if they wanted to.
After Xu Cai's incident, the villagers of Shishi Village felt very unlucky, especially those who had sunflower fields. They were worried that their fields would become a place for secret affairs. Even if it was just an affair, what if someone accidentally damaged the sunflowers? It happened to Daqiang's field, and the Lin family was very upset. However, the Xu and Ge families agreed to compensate for the loss.
But that was because they caught the two people involved. What if they hadn't been caught? They would have suffered a loss for nothing.
So, the villagers who planted sunflowers became extra vigilant. They would patrol the fields diligently and even come to check at night.
As for those who didn't plant sunflowers, they couldn't help but gossip about the matter. When they passed by the sunflower fields, they would recall the incident and... slow down their pace, sneak a peek inside, wishing to poke a hole in the dense sunflower stalks just to see if there were any lovebirds inside.
They had a valid reason to linger there - they were planning to plant sunflowers soon, so it was necessary to observe the sunflower's characteristics and growth rate in advance.
As a result, the entire Shishi Village was almost on patrol duty, and those sunflower fields became a hot spot, frequently watched by people.
And this constant scrutiny had led to the discovery of this incident.
