Chapter 169: Chapter 171: Are You Stealing Men Again?_1

Nan Feng hoisted Zhou the Second onto her shoulder, heading towards the mountain.

Someone on the road asked her, "What’s in the bag? It looks heavy."

Nan Feng casually responded, "Just a hideous wild boar I just hunted!"

"..."

Over the past six months, Nan Feng’s strength had gradually returned, and the skills she learned at the Special Agent School had also gradually recovered. Adding to the fact that Zhou the Second was skinny and small, it didn’t take much effort to carry him.

Thus, Zhou the Second was also carried to the top of the mountain where Nan Feng tied him up with Zhou the First.

...

It was already very late.

The two men of the Zhou Family still hadn’t returned, leaving the women of the Wang and Chen Families in a state of anxiety.

The villagers usually slept early, so they would definitely be home before dark. Their absence at this hour suggested something had gone wrong.

Knowing Zhou the Second had gone to weed the fields during the day, Chen’s wife decided to go look for him there, while Wang’s wife was too afraid to go up to the mountain alone. Thus, the wives decided to first look for Zhou the Second in the farmland together, then head to the mountain to find Zhou the First.

The two women headed towards the fields with their lanterns, but hadn’t gone far when they saw a tall, thin figure standing ahead on the road.

Initially thinking they had seen a ghost, the two women were almost scared into screaming.

Then Wang’s wife, plucking up her courage, stammered, "Who’s there?"

The figure moved, and started walking towards them.

Wang’s wife and Chen’s wife clung to each other tightly, fearing it was an unsettling apparition.

However, once the "apparition" got closer, they recognized Nan Feng.

The women immediately let out a sigh of relief, and Wang’s wife scolded, "Good heavens, who are you trying to scare in the middle of the night?"

Chen’s wife also scolded, "Sneaking around, were you just stealing someone else’s man? Isn’t one bastard and Liu Chang enough? Need to steal more?"

Nan Feng didn’t take offense, just grinned, "That’s right. I’ve stolen a man, but..."

"But what?" Wang’s wife and Chen’s wife asked simultaneously.

Nan Feng said, "While I was stealing a man, I think I saw your men being stolen. Aren’t you going to rescue them?"

Nan Feng’s words mirrored the trick they played on her before.

Wang’s wife and Chen’s wife certainly didn’t readily believe Nan Feng. They sidestepped, intending to let Nan Feng pass, "Just go. We don’t believe you."

Nan Feng gave a cold laugh and said as she walked, "You don’t believe me? Fine then, but it’s late and the often distracted wild animals may be out. Don’t endanger your lives and honor!"

...

Once Nan Feng had gone, Wang’s wife and Chen’s wife exchanged looks.

Whispering, Wang’s wife asked Chen’s wife, "Do you think that girl was telling the truth?"

Chen’s wife suggested, "Shall we look in the fields first? If we can’t find my husband there, we’ll go search the mountain."

Wang’s wife was anxious, "It’s terrifying to go to the mountain at this late hour with everything pitch black."

Chen’s wife pondered for a moment, "Let’s take the youngest one with us. We two women would definitely run into trouble if we went up the mountain."

...

After a fruitless search in the mountains for Zhou the First and Zhou the Second, the women set off to find Zhou the Third.

Zhou the Third had always had conflicts with his two older brothers and their wives due to disagreements over property. He was increasingly isolated in the village, given that his father had left everything to him and he didn’t provide any support to his father. His life had been even more difficult after splitting from the family.

Since the division, Zhou the Third and his wife had often been directly insulted by the villagers. With their tight-living conditions, they were further burdened by public criticisms and lack of family support. The couple had not been blessed with children despite having been married for quite some time.

Zhou the Third had considered patching things up with his father or his brothers, but he was unable to swallow his pride.

With his sisters-in-law visiting now, Zhou the Third naturally agreed to accompany them immediately.
