The captain glared at Li Renzhong's wife, cursing inwardly. The people of Li Family Village were all honest folk, but every pot of soup has to have a rat dropping in it. That rascal Li Shitan was always putting on airs, lecturing him with grand principles, which made it hard for the captain to do anything even when he couldn't stand the sight of him. Now, they were getting even more brazen.
"Is that what happened?" Though the captain already believed it, he had to ask for appearance's sake.
"No! We really did smell meat coming from her house, that's why we came over. We didn't touch a single thing."
"Bullshit! We all saw your son run out of her kitchen, and you were outside trying to gag the girl. How can you have the nerve to tell such a barefaced lie?" Zhou Shumei chimed in.
The captain looked at the only little girl present. Afraid of scaring her, he softened his expression. "Little Si, tell Uncle what happened."
