That evening, Wei Youfu went to see the village chief. "Wei Youfu, what brings you here today? I know you're leaving in two days. Don't worry, we won't force you to stay. We'll let you leave whenever we tell you to."

"Village chief, I didn't come here today to talk about that. I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh, what is it? Tell me!"

Wei Youfu suddenly knelt on the ground. "Wei Youfu, what are you doing? Get up!"

"Village chief, listen to me. The six of us don't know each other. We came here as refugees. We have no parents and have been bullied since we were young. We couldn't even beg for food. In order to survive, we can only stick together for warmth and help each other."

To prevent others from taking away the things we begged for, we fought with them, and we were almost beaten to death several times.

Gradually, we came to understand a principle: being honest is not an option; only by being daring and tough can we prevent anyone from bullying us.

So we went from beggars to thugs. We got into a few fights and actually won. After that, no one dared to mess with us, and we made a living by bullying the people in town.

Everyone treats us with respect on the surface, but they actually hate us to death.

"We've stayed in the village for a while now, and we feel that your village is very nice, and the villagers are very kind. We want to stay in your village, live a peaceful and honest life, and hope that the village chief will take us in." Wei Youfu spoke sincerely, and his eyes even reddened as he thought of the past.

"You want to stay in our village?"

"Yeah, that's what all the brothers feel. We hope to stay, no matter what we do. We don't want to do anything despicable, and we want to be decent people, but we have no choice; we have to survive!"

"No, no, the village can't let you stay. Not only will I not agree, but the villagers won't agree either."

If you stay in the village, everyone will only feel uneasy. You should leave the day after tomorrow. From now on, behave yourself and don't do anything so despicable.

"But village chief, we don't know anything. If we go out, what else can we do besides following the old path?"

"I can't find any work to do."

The village chief thought about it and realized they were right. These people would just cause trouble for others if they left. "What can you do if you stay in our village? No houses, no land, you'll starve!"

"Village chief, we brothers have some savings. Could we buy a plot of land in the village to live on?"

We promise that we will never do anything bad again, that we will turn over a new leaf and start anew. If we ever cause any trouble, you can kill us without complaint. We are willing to swear this oath and write a guarantee.

"Village chief, please, please take us in!"

"I can't make that decision myself; I need to discuss it with the villagers. I'll give you an answer the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you, village chief. Thank you, village chief."

The village chief also heard from the people building the earthen wall that they had been doing quite well these days and had been working very hard.

Today, everyone in Liujia Village received their share of silver, and they slept soundly, hiding their money as secretly as possible, for fear of being targeted by thieves.

As all was quiet and darkness enveloped the earth, Yu Feng led a few thugs in a horse-drawn carriage to the entrance of Liujia Village. They drove the carriage into a nearby grove of trees and waited until midnight to carry out their operation.

After the five thugs left, Yu Feng was left alone in the woods, preparing to escape.

Seeing that everyone had left, Qingye knocked Yu Feng unconscious and quietly dragged him into the village.

Following Yu Feng's directions, the group of thugs walked all the way to the end of the village. Liu Dawang's house was particularly conspicuous, so they were sure it was the right place.

Liu Siyue and the others had made all the preparations and were just waiting for them to arrive.

Seeing that the courtyard wall was so high, climbing it was impossible. The thugs used a human pyramid method to climb over the wall. The four people on the outside held the rope, and the people on the top of the wall slid down the rope into the courtyard.

He immediately opened the door, let the others into the yard, and then gently closed the door.

Just as they were about to make a move, Liu Siyue, Qingwu, and Qingling blocked their way.

The thugs, seeing that it was a group of women, didn't take them seriously and immediately pounced on them.

The gang leader was quite skilled; he was quickly defeated and taken down. Qingwu then led Yu Feng into the courtyard.

The commotion in the yard alerted everyone in the family. Da Wang was the first to come out and saw that another thief had broken in.

"Who are these people from in April? They just received their share of the silver today. Could they have been lured here by the villagers again?"

"He is indeed a villager, but from the past, like our old neighbor Yu Feng."

The person was right there; we knocked him unconscious.

"Second Uncle, let Qingye accompany you to invite the village chief over. The villagers need to know about this so that everyone will be more careful and united in the future."

"Okay, I'll go right now!"

The village chief's family received 60 taels of silver today. He excitedly chatted with his wife for a while, and now he's sleeping soundly.

A series of urgent knocks sounded, unusually loud in the quiet of the night. Not only did the village chief's family hear it, but the surrounding neighbors also heard it, and everyone came out with their tools.

Pan Dongmei nudged Liu Jinsheng, "Honey, honey, wake up, wake up! Someone's knocking on the door!"

"Who is it? In the middle of the night!"

Liu Jinsheng sat up abruptly in bed. Everyone had just divided up the silver today. Could it be that another thief had broken into the village?

He quickly wrapped his clothes around himself and rushed out the door. "Who is it?"

"It's me, Da Wang, the village chief. There's been a thief in the village."

Liu Jinsheng flung the door open. "A thief broke into the village? Where?"

Upon hearing this, the villagers realized that thieves had indeed come to steal their silver. They hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it yet, so they thought, "Don't even think about it!"

"We've caught them; they're all at my house. Yu Feng brought them here. I don't know if they have any accomplices."

"Let's go take a look. These people are completely lawless. We absolutely cannot let them get away with this."

A group of people followed the village chief to Da Wang's house. Torches had already been lit in the yard. When Liu Siyue saw the village chief arrive, she immediately went up to greet him, "Uncle Village Chief, you've come."

"Hmm, did they give any instructions?"

"We haven't even asked yet; we're just waiting for you to take charge."

The village chief walked up to the group of thugs. "Tell me, who are you? Where are you from?"

Several thugs lay on the ground, trembling in pain. The women in this family were too ruthless, even more ruthless than the men. The brothers were no match for them at all. Yu Feng, that little bastard, had really caused them a lot of trouble.

"We're just street hustlers from the county town; Yu Feng brought us here."

"What else did he say to you?"

"He said that this family in the village was the richest, and told us to prepare three horse-drawn carts to transport things, and that we shouldn't let the village chief's family go either." He didn't dare to say how to deal with Zaohua.

"Are you finished speaking?"

"That's all."

"Are you sure there's nothing missing?"

"Yes, that's all."

"This guy's not honest. Looks like we didn't hit him hard enough earlier." Qingwu and Qingye went up and gave the five of them another good beating.

"Stop hitting us, stop hitting us, we'll talk, we'll talk."

Yu Feng said he'd lost his money, his woman, and his child; he was now penniless, all because of that bitch Zao Hua. He wanted revenge on Zao Hua and wanted us to go to his house so he could have sex with her, that he'd be too ashamed to face anyone and wouldn't be able to live anymore.

Upon hearing this, the village chief was enraged. "Yu Feng is truly heartless and insane. Wake him up by splashing him with cold water."
