章節 177: Stealing Vegetables in the Middle of the Night

That night, Sun Dahai and Sun Dahe did not return home when they said they would. Worried, Old Man Sun set out with a kerosene lamp to look for them. He found them at the village entrance, bloodied and unconscious, lying exposed for all to see on the side of the road. 

The din he raised alarmed the whole village.

The two brothers were carried home. Only after they arrived safely at the Sun family home did everyone see how the duo's heads were swollen like pigs. Some amid the crowd could not help but laugh at their sorry sight.

The Sun family's expressions were unsightly.

The Sun family had been down on their luck lately. It was rare for them to be at the short end of the stick. Fortunately, Sun Dahai and Sun Dahe went out together and were discovered at the same time. Otherwise, Old Man Sun might not be able to recognize them even if he went out to look for them come morning.

After waking the brothers up, everyone anxiously asked what had happened.
