These things were originally worth her time and money, and she would just do it after selling them, which would only take some time.

"Jing Mu, give the money to Carpenter Wang later."

Su Qiruo originally wanted to ask Carpenter Wang to make her a deck chair to put in the yard, but she was afraid that if she bought too much at once, it would be seen by outsiders, and she might attract another thief.

Carpenter Wang quickly repaired the door, picked out a piece of wood from the wooden box, marked it on the back of the door, and then hung it on it.

Wang Qingwan followed Carpenter Wang to move the bed, tables and chairs. The tables and chairs were okay, but several young women from the village came to help when moving the bed. Nan Jingmu was afraid of any inconvenience, so she hid them in the kitchen.

When he came out again, there was no one else in the yard.

The big bed in the room had been set up. When looking at the bed that could sleep four or five people and the thin quilt on the bed, Nan Jingmu couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

"I originally wanted to buy you a small bed, but Carpenter Wang didn't have one. Fortunately, this bed is big enough. At night, I sleep on this end and you sleep on the other end. The ground is very wet and cold, so you can't always sleep on that side.

On the broken straw mat."

Su Qiruo leaned on the head of the bed and said without changing her expression or with her heart beating. She didn't take the defense of men and women seriously. Now that the conditions were limited and she couldn't move, Nan Jingmu didn't have to worry about what she would do to him.

"If the cloth you bought before is not enough, go to the town to buy some someday and make a mattress to pad under you."

As Su Qiruo said, she took out two more gold ingots and handed them to Nan Jingmu.

Buying these things today probably used up almost all the money he had left. She didn't dare to give them all to Nan Jingmu at once, not because she was afraid that he would spend them recklessly, but because she was worried about accidents.

Separating the money also leaves a way out for yourself to avoid letting others take the blame.

"You are so good, why did you think of repairing the door?"

Nan Jingmu was embarrassed to talk to Su Qiruo about sharing a bed, so she could only lower her eyes and ask.

"There was a thief in the yard last night."

Su Qiruo didn't hide this from Nan Jingmu, so he knew that it was better to have some precautions in mind so as not to be frightened one day.

"What?"

Nan Jingmu was really scared, and he didn't even know it.

Thinking that Su Qiruo was still sleeping in the morning, Nan Jingmu was secretly annoyed that she slept too much last night.

"Now that the door is repaired, you don't need to be afraid. I can protect you no matter what happens."

Although Su Qiruo didn't dare to make any big moves, she still had no problem dealing with this little thief. At worst, she would just scratch the wound and nurse it again.

"You should have told me earlier."

Only then did Nan Jingmu understand why Su Qiruo repaired the door and changed the bed.

"It's not too late to know now. We don't have anything valuable at home. You can move all the rice and grain in the kitchen to the main room. If you open the door at night, we won't be afraid of a few thieves."

That night the two of them lay on the bed, one on each side, far apart.

Although no one spoke, everyone had their own thoughts.

Su Qiruo touched the pebbles placed by the bedside, wondering whether to catch the thief directly later.

Nan Jingmu, on the other hand, wanted to catch the thief directly while Su Qiruo was asleep. A thief like this was definitely not very good at kung fu. He could deal with a few petty thieves with his ability.

Down.

Somehow, the wind picked up tonight, making the branches outside creak.

There was a clang on the papered window, which made Nan Jingmu freeze up in shock.

Su Qiruo on the side naturally felt something strange about Nan Jingmu, and then she realized that Nan Jingmu hadn't fallen asleep either.

The room was so dark that she couldn't see her fingers, but Su Qiruo felt like she could see the nervous look on Nan Jingmu's face.

With the corners of her mouth raised slightly, Su Qiruo turned sideways and faced Nan Jingmu's direction, calling in a low voice: "Jingmu."

"Um?"

Nan Jingmu responded subconsciously, and then she was so busy that she covered her mouth.

She didn't even sleep?

"Is it because of what I told you during the day that you couldn't sleep?"

Su Qiruo suddenly regretted telling Nan Jingmu about this matter. It was not a big deal at all and she could solve it by herself.

"No...no."

Nan Jingmu told a lie that even he didn't believe, but he just didn't want her to know that he was so cowardly.

In fact, he has never been afraid of anything since his father passed away.

It's just a cheap life. If you die, you will die.

But now that the Nan family has been wronged and he is the only one alive, he can't just go away.

What's more, Su Qiruo's health is not fully recovered yet. If something happens to him, what will she do?

"Don't be afraid, just go to sleep. I'm afraid the thief won't come tonight."

There are not many people in any village who have unclean hands and feet. The thief last night was probably from Wangjia Village.

If Su Qi had such a big battle today to repair the door and change the bed, the thief must have known about it, and he probably wouldn't come again tonight.

"You said she came to our house to steal things because she thought we were rich?"

Nan Jingmu suddenly regretted not buying a set of coarse cloth clothes and changing into them some time ago. Only then did the thieves take notice.

"Maybe!"

In fact, Su Qiruo also wanted to say that the thief might still be thinking about Nan Jingmu's appearance. After all, they would only see such a good-looking person once in their life. It is also possible that some women who cannot marry their husbands have perverted thoughts.

of.

In the eyes of outsiders, she, the wife, was untouchable. Even if a woman rushed to the house and did something to Nan Jingmu, she would be powerless.

But Su Qiruo would never tell Nan Jingmu this. He was already timid, and a thief frightened him like this. If he knew that the thief was here for him, he would not be able to sleep that night.

Already.

"It's okay, go to sleep!"

Su Qiruo's voice had a strange ability. After she said this, Nan Jingmu was no longer afraid, closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.

Hesitating that he slept late last night, Nan Jingmu rarely got up the next day.

Su Qiruo got out of bed and walked to the door. She felt relieved when she saw that there were no footprints on the ashes she had scattered at the door last night.

As long as the thief doesn't come here to step on it, that's fine.

Nan Jingmu woke up suddenly when she heard the sound of opening the door.

"Why are you up? Are you hungry? I'm going to cook."

Nan Jingmu rubbed her sore eyes, looked at Su Qiruo, and said hurriedly.

"No rush."

Su Qiruo grabbed Nan Jingmu's wrist, pointed at Hui on the ground and said with a smile.

Nan Jingmu was startled for a moment, then reacted.

"The thief really didn't come yesterday."

Nan Jingmu let out a long breath. Before he could clean the door with a broom, Zhang's yelling could be heard from next door.
