I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 189: Catching a Thief

Editor: Atlas Studios

After mourning Emperor Shizong in her heart, Mu Yangling rolled up two large pancakes and ate them before heading to West Village.

Liu Ting and Liu Yuan were weeding their wheat fields at home. When they heard that Mu Yangling wanted to build a straw hut, they called a few clansmen from the village and brought the tools over.

Mu Shi was already waiting for them at the foot of the mountain. “Let’s cut down the trees first and build the foundation later.”

Liu Ting wandered around and asked, “How big does the straw hut need to be?”

“Let’s build one with two rooms. This way, it’ll be more spacious and convenient for people to move around inside. We can also put some things inside,” Mu Shi said after some thought.

“That’s not difficult. With so many of us, we’ll be done in three to four days. Come, let’s get to work.” Liu Ting clapped his hands and gestured for everyone to start.

Turning around, he saw Mu Yangling wandering around the ground, wanting to help. So he went forward and pulled her over. “Alright, there’s no need for you to be here. Go home quickly. Leave it to us uncles.”

Seeing that there were many of them and she was indeed not needed, Mu Yangling said, “Then I’ll go back. If you need me, just shout. I can hear you from the foot of the mountain.”

The straw hut was built next to the sheds, about ten steps away. There was a ditch behind it, pasture in front, and a river not far away. Mu Yangling felt that if the straw hut was warm enough, it would actually be quite comfortable to live here.

Once the Mu family started work here, the villagers knew that this hut was built in order for them to keep an eye on the rabbits. Some of those who originally had designs on the rabbits directly gave up. There was also a group of people who planned to take act first while the straw hut was still in construction. When the time came, they would just leave and not return to Xingzhou Prefecture. Even if Little General knew that it was them, there was nothing he could do.

In any case, the drought in Xingzhou Prefecture has lasted for a few months now. Everyone said that there was no way out. Instead of waiting to escape south as a refugee, it was better to gather some money now.

They didn’t have the ability to enter the house to steal money, but they were fairly confident they could steal rabbits from the fields.

With this thought in mind, the five of them quietly arrived at the Mu family’s pastoral area on a dark and windy night.
