Chapter 867 Things were stolen
Being able to be the master of the house, life is indeed not bad.
Wu Ya was smiling on the side, feeling somewhat disappointed. She had been married for several years, but she only had Xiaohua as her child. There had been no pregnancy in so many years, so she was more anxious than anyone else.
Zhou Gu patted her hands and smiled at her comfortingly.
Wu Ya smiled, thinking that with such a husband, what was there for her to be dissatisfied with? It took her so many years to get pregnant with her second child.
On that day, several groups of people came, but they were all sent away by Zhou Gu.
He was a little scared at first, but Zhou Guo put down his shoulder and went to the river to catch snails, so he had no choice but to go ahead.
After interacting with several groups of people, I gradually became braver and was not as afraid of these people as I was at the beginning.
Zhou Guo sat in the back and listened to a few words, then went back to the backyard. What do you mean by incompetent? Wouldn't it come out if he just talked about it?
How wonderful!
Everyone in the Zhou family was very happy. Some felt that Zhou Gu had made progress, and some felt that Zhou Guo would not have to work so hard from now on. At least she would not have to deal with some of the minor troubles.
She rested at home for five days.
Early in the morning that day, Hu Zi came in hurriedly with a heavy face.
Zhou Guo looked at him like this, and his heart skipped a beat. "What's the matter?"
Hu Zi said, "Master, the farm where we stored the seeds was robbed. More than a thousand stones of grain in the granary were looted overnight. Nothing is left."
Zhou Guo put down his worries and said, "Go downstairs and pack your things. We'll leave after dinner."
Hu Zi bowed and retreated neatly.
Zhou Guo pondered, these people were really powerful, they could even find the farm where she stored the grain.
She now owns more than thirty or forty farms, big and small. The farm where she stores grain and grows crops is in a remote location and has little land, so she rarely visits it. None of her family members even know that she has such a small farm.
Do these people know where she hid the seeds?
She turned and went into the house, quickly packing two sets of clothes.
While eating, he said to Zhou Gu, "I will be leaving after dinner. Brother, please take care of the family. If anyone comes to visit us in the future, please come out and receive them yourself."
Zhou Gu almost spit out what was in his mouth. "I... I can't do this. I can handle the unimportant ones, but I can't handle the important ones."
Zhou Guo said, "How could that be? You don't care whether it's important or not. He's just a mouth. Since he's lowered himself to come to our house, he must have a need. He's come to our house to ask for help. What are you afraid of? They are the ones you should be afraid of. Make the decision you can make. If you don't know what to do, just let them wait. It's quite simple."
Zhou Gu nodded hesitantly after hearing this, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
In fact, he entertained quite a few people in the past two days and he didn't think it was that difficult.
Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi were a little envious.
Zhou Guo looked at him and said, "Second brother and third brother, you guys should help with the reception. Our uncle is not at home, so you are the men of the family."
Zhou Su hurriedly asked: "Sister, can I do it?"
Although Li Lai didn't say anything, he looked at her eagerly.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Of course you can. You are all part of the family. You all have to come forward to receive the guests. A wealthy family also works together as a family. It doesn't all depend on the head of the family alone."
Several people were very excited. As long as it was useful, they were not just here to eat for nothing.
Li smiled and said, "Where are you going this time? Isn't your uncle not going out this month?"
Zhou Guo said: "I have some things to deal with, and I'm not going to my uncle's place."
At this point, he suddenly remembered that the fruits on the farm should be ready for picking, so he said, "Mom, the fruits on the top of the hill in the farm are ready for picking. I said I would leave them for you to pick. Do you want to go with me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the family wanted to go.
Lian Xiaohua also said, "Aunt, Aunt, I want to pick some fruit."
As long as Zhou Gu is alone, he will definitely not be able to escape.
Zhou Mai and others can still ask for leave.
Li was really tempted, "But you can't leave home. You can't really leave your eldest brother alone at home. If someone comes to our house, we won't be able to prepare meals for him."
Zhou Guo said, "Why can't we entertain her? Mrs. Deng has been working for so many years, can't she prepare a table of dishes?"
Li thought about it, and finally shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'm going to the county town to check out the snack shop in a few days, so I won't go this time. You should take the teacher with you. My brothers are all busy with their studies, so they won't go either."
Zhou Su and his friends were extremely disappointed. They were picking fruits from their own hill!
The old man was very happy.
Zhou Guo nodded. "That's fine. Anyway, there aren't many fruits this year. It's not worth making a special trip. Wait until next year when there are more fruits on the mountain. It will be the same if we go then."
After breakfast, the group left, and of course the old man went with them.
This small village is in Chengding.
Nothing was missing from the farm, except that a warehouse of food disappeared overnight.
These grains were the food rations she left for several nearby farms. The grain sold in the county town also came from them, so she kept some extra food. Unexpectedly, it was all taken away overnight.
The village head knelt on the ground and apologized in fear and trepidation.
Zhou Guo said: "Tell me about the situation."
The village head looked at her and said, "Damn you, little one. I don't know why you slept so soundly. I didn't hear anything, and the dogs I raised didn't make any noise either..."
Zhou Guo frowned, "Stop talking nonsense and just tell me how and when you found out."
The village head said quickly: "Yes, I woke up very late that day. When I woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. I saw that many people in the village had not yet woken up, so I went to wake them up, and then, as usual, I checked the village.
When I checked the warehouse, I found something wrong. The door was ajar. When I pushed it open, there was nothing inside. I then noticed that there were many footprints on the farm, extending from the warehouse to the door. There were also wheel tracks outside the farm. The food in the warehouse was stolen overnight!"
Zhou Guo asked: "Have you reported this to the police?"
"Report to the police?" Zhuangtou was stunned and said, "No, I wrote to you right away."
He didn't dare to make the decision without the master's order.
She then asked, "Who else knows about this?"
The village head said honestly: "Only I and the second village head know that the master didn't come, and I don't dare to let everyone know."
Zhou Guo nodded and said thoughtfully, "Well, go and roughly restore the footprints and wheel tracks you found that morning, and report to the police when you're done."
"Yes." The village head got up and left. The master did not blame him. He felt that he had escaped a great escape and now he was full of energy.
Er Pang asked, "Master, it's been a few days. Why do you want to report to the police? Can you find him if you report to the police?"
