Knowing that she was not the only one who felt this way, Su Qingluan immediately lowered her voice and asked, "Why, do you feel this way too?"
Liu Yunniang and Su Qingluan exchanged a "So you've noticed it too" look, and looked sideways at Wu Erman's back: "I've noticed more than once today that this person is always running to the pots with jam. Don't. I'm sorry I didn't remind you that if something goes wrong with those jams, all of us here will be punished - especially you."
How could Su Qingluan not understand the stakes? But she can't search her without any clear evidence, right?
What's more, Su Qingluan is already thirteen years old, which is the age to "negotiate marriage". Although Wu Erman is old enough to be Su Qingluan's father, he is still considered "not yet married".
If he was searched so rashly without conclusive evidence, rumors would inevitably spread. Even though Su Qingluan herself didn't care about other people's opinions, she couldn't care less about her family.
Neighbors in Huaxi Village move around very frequently. The advantage is that if there is something happening between neighbors, everyone can help each other.
However, this relationship that is closer than a simple neighbor also has a disadvantage, which is the blurred sense of boundaries.
This also leads to the fact that if there are any rumors or gossip in the village, they will spread very quickly.
If the Su family is in an unfamiliar place, everyone can live their own lives behind closed doors. But if it were in Huaxi Village, it would be difficult to do this.
So even if he knew something was wrong with this person, Su Qingluan couldn't act rashly.
The same is true for Liu Yunniang - although she is not a villager in Huaxi Village and does not need to worry too much about the relationship between neighbors, she is still a little girl. If possible, Su Qingluan does not want Liu Yuniang to deal with scoundrels like Wu Erman.
Because they had suspicions but no definite evidence, Su Qingluan and Liu Yuniang both stared at Wu Erman with their peripheral vision.
At the same time, Su Qingluan was still a little suspicious: Wu Dani is Wu Erman's sister, and her brother is sneaky. Does Wu Dani, the sister, know?
After secretly observing for a period of time, Su Qingluan discovered that Wu Dani was just doing her job, not to mention that Wu Erman had any exchange of information with his sister. Su Qingluan even discovered that even if Wu Erman accidentally met Wu Dani's eyes, They are more scared than looking into their own eyes.
This surprised Su Qingluan.
From this point of view, Wu Erman should not have colluded with Wu Dani. In fact, Wu Erman should be a little afraid of Wu Dani?
Time gradually came to lunch break, and everyone gathered in the open-air kitchen outside, waiting around the pot and stove to eat. At this time, Su Qingluan noticed that Wu Erman was sitting in the corner with a bowl by himself, but he didn't take a few bites at all.
Then, while no one was paying attention, he quietly walked towards the large pots where jam was stored.
Su Qingluan and Liu Yunniang, who had been secretly watching, winked at each other.
Originally, Su Qingluan's position was relatively forward, but Liu Yunniang pulled her back: "I walk lightly, and I can't be discovered if I follow behind."
Su Qingluan lowered his head and pinched the flesh on his belly: "But I'm not fat?"
"It has nothing to do with whether you sink or not," Liu Yunniang explained. "We who learn kung fu will sink our feet and weigh a thousand pounds with our steps, but our leaps will be as light as feathers. Many big men with strong bodies, if we use cross-legged kung fu, Okay, still walking lighter than a cat!"
When Su Qingluan heard this, she couldn't help but think of Song Bo's strong figure. But even though he was pushing Mu Xingzhi's wheelchair, he didn't look heavy in his steps.
As Liu Yunniang spoke, she had already jumped over the threshold, and followed Wu Erman lightly from the back door into the first floor of the shop. Even when Wu Erman turned around to see if anyone was following him, she quickly ducked to the side to support the house. behind the pillar.
Su Qingluan stood outside the door, pretending to be pulling vegetables from his own bowl. In fact, he kept paying attention to Liu Yunniang's movements from the corner of his eyes.
She was so frightened by this scene that she didn't dare to take a breath. At the same time, she was very lucky that when Liu Yunniang stopped her from following, she didn't follow Liu Yuniang too smartly.
Otherwise, she is definitely the one doing bad things now - even if her own reaction ability can barely allow her to hide, there is only one pillar on one side of the room that can be avoided, and it would be very difficult to hide a slender person behind it. If you try too hard, the two of you will definitely reveal your secrets.
Thinking like this, Su Qingluan looked over again, only to find that Wu Erman dug in his arms for a long time and took out a palm-sized thick-mouthed thick porcelain bottle with a fat belly.
They were far away, and Su Qingluan couldn't see clearly what was in the bottle, but when he saw the other person unplugging the cork on the bottle and trying to pour the contents into the pot of jam closest to him, he heard Liu Yunniang shouted angrily: "What are you doing sneaking around here?"
Wu Erman was originally very nervous because of his guilty conscience. When he heard the angry shout behind him, he was so frightened that the porcelain bottle in his hand slipped. "Plop" the whole thing was thrown into the pot head down.
The corners of Su Qingluan's mouth twitched: ...Well, I'm afraid this pot of jam will have to be completely reworked.
Fortunately, Wu Erman, a potential dangerous factor, was caught, and Su Qingluan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With this in mind, Su Qingluan walked quickly towards Liu Yunniang and Wu Erman.
And because of Liu Yunniang's angry shout just now, several people who were closer to the back door also noticed the unusual situation inside.
At this time, Liu Yuniang had already tied Wu Erman's hands behind his back, pulled the blue cloth tie that tied his hair and tied him up.
Su Qingluan was afraid that Wu Erman would break free from such a thin hair tie, so he went to find a thick hemp rope. After tying Wu Erman firmly, he returned the hair tie to Liu Yunniang.
Those outside who noticed the commotion here were originally just looking at the excitement, but gradually they realized something was wrong. Those who had good things to do and were faster on their feet even jumped up to Wu Dani's side and pointed into the house. She lowered her voice and said, "Dani, please go inside and take a look. Your brother has done something wrong and was tied up with a hemp rope by Mrs. Liu next to Shopkeeper Su!"
Wu Dani's brows jumped: "When? Why didn't I know?"
"Just now, I told you to come as soon as I saw it!" The man looked curious, "What did your brother do to offend Shopkeeper Su?"
However, Wu Dani didn't bother to answer his question. She threw the half-eaten bowl and chopsticks over, touched her mouth and ran towards the house.
