Chapter 820 Is This Stealing Again?

When these people saw Zheng Xinyue, their expressions froze. They stared at her nervously, swallowing their saliva. Although Zheng Dagui was no longer the team leader, Zheng Dashan was also Zheng Xinyue's uncle. They were afraid that she would complain and the corn they stole with great effort would be confiscated.

Zheng Xinyue turned her head and walked past as if she didn't see it. Only then did these people breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran to the village with their heads down and waists bent.

The green corn leaves covered the sky. Standing at the edge of the field, you can only see one meter away. Going further inside, there are dense corn leaves. Zheng Xinyue stared for a long time but couldn't find her mother.

Zheng Xinyue simply stopped looking. Every time she passed a ridge, she put her hands together and shouted loudly:

"Mom, Mom."

The leaves in the corn field made a rustling sound under the wind. Zheng Xinyue's voice was not loud enough. People at the edge of the field could hear it, but if you were in the middle of the corn field, you couldn't hear it at all.

Zheng Xinyue shouted for a long time, even using all her strength, but she didn't see her mother come out.

She began to worry. When would she find her mother if she kept looking like this? She didn't know what was going on with her grandma! If she couldn't make it in time to see her grandma for the last time, her mother would be so sad.

"Shh! Stop shouting!"

Just as Zheng Xinyue's throat was smoking with anxiety, a suppressed voice sounded in the cornfield beside her, followed by the shaking of corn leaves. Gao Guilan, wearing a green scarf on her head, poked her head out and looked around. Zheng Xinyue quickly shut up and looked at her mother with amusement. Is this stealing again?

Gao Guilan came out of the field when she saw that there was no one around. She was wearing a shabby coarse cloth jacket with various patches on it, holding a large bag of corn wrapped in her coat, which looked like there were at least more than ten ears of corn.

"Mom, our family doesn't lack food, why are you stealing?"

During the autumn harvest, being caught stealing food is a big deal. Zheng Xinyue persuaded her mother in a suppressed voice.

"Why do others take it but I don't? You! Mom, am I the one who suffers?"

Gao Guilan curled her lips. She was afraid of having too much food. If she couldn't eat it today, there would be tomorrow!

Da Kui is no longer the team leader. She couldn't sleep if she didn't take advantage of it.

"Okay, let's go! My grandma is very sick. My uncle said she couldn't get up from the kang. She said she wanted to see you."

Zheng Xinyue thought about it and still felt uneasy. Her family had offended people in the village. Who knows who is stabbing in the back? She reached out to take the corn from her mother's hand. She thought it was better not to carry it around.

"Give it to me, I'll carry it."

"Your grandma is sick, let's go."

Gao Guilan was panicked when she heard that her mother was sick. Her mother had always been in good health. Any illness was a minor problem. If she couldn't get up from the kang, it must be a serious illness.

She was panicked and didn't pay attention to Zheng Xinyue's words. She reached out to take the corn and Gao Guilan really gave it to her. She didn't even look back and hurried home.

Zheng Xinyue quietly went into the cornfield, hid the big bag of corn in the space, and then came out and followed her mother to go home.

Just after leaving the cornfield, she saw Zheng Dashan standing in the middle of the road with a dark face. There was a pile of confiscated corn on the ground. Behind him stood the aunties who stole the corn, staring at the corn with dejected and distressed expressions.

Gao Guilan was stunned when she saw Zheng Dashan. Didn't expect that he would wait to catch people halfway?

"Xinyue, hide in the field."

Gao Guilan immediately regained her composure, lowered her voice and said to her daughter behind her, pulled her clothes and walked towards Zheng Dashan with her head held high.

"Sister-in-law."

Zheng Dashan was only polite to Gao Guilan on the surface. If she really stole food, he would definitely not show mercy. He stared at her hands when Gao Guilan walked out.
