In the early morning of Nanshui Village, the first thing for the early-rising villagers is to go to the kitchen to light a fire, boil water, and wash up.

The people of Nanshui Village were just as usual on this day.

Suddenly there was a scream, and someone even came out holding a fire stick, "What...what happened? Is something wrong?"

Wang Meili was pleased in her heart.

Did Gu Lingling wake up?

Haha, seeing that she was taken advantage of by a fool, she must not be able to accept this shock, right?

Wang Meili and Wang Xintao exchanged a satisfied glance and then went out with Old Mrs. Gu.

"Ah...don't come over..." There was another scream, only this voice didn't quite sound like Gu Lingling's, but more like Gu Juan's?

How could Juanzi's voice come from Gu Lingling's room?

Wang Meili suddenly felt a chill all over her body, a bad thought emerged in her mind.

No, it can't be, this is impossible.

What exactly happened?

Wang Meili hurriedly pushed open the door to Gu Haojun's room and found the quilt was a mess, but she did not see Gu Juan's figure.

"Juanzi?"

Wang Meili wanted to push open the door to Gu Lingling's room but couldn't push it open. She had to knock on the door repeatedly, "Gu Lingling, open the door, open it."

"Did something happen?"

At this moment, a voice came from behind Wang Meili.

"You...why are you here?" Wang Meili turned around and was almost scared stiff, trembling as she pointed at Gu Lingling standing at the door, "You...weren't you sleeping inside?"

Why was Gu Lingling, who was supposed to be in the room, standing at the door?

Why is Gu Juan, who was originally in the room, nowhere to be found?

"Yesterday, Sister Qingqing came back, and I went to chat with her and stayed too late, so I didn't come back." Gu Lingling asked innocently, "What happened? Why is my room door locked?"

As soon as Gu Lingling finished speaking, a muffled sound came from the room.

Wang Meili couldn't care about anything else now, she gritted her teeth and was about to crash the door.

"Auntie, why are you trying to break open my room door?" Gu Lingling raised her voice and said, "My room door can't be locked unless someone is using a stick to prop it shut from the inside."

"Could it be that my room was robbed?"

Wang Meili now wished she could sew Gu Lingling's mouth shut, but she couldn't care about these details now, "Mom, hurry and help."

Old Mrs. Gu was already stunned when she saw Gu Lingling.

It was only after Wang Meili's shout that she came to her senses, hurriedly running over to help crash the door together.

Gu Lingling's lips slightly turned up, "Looks like we'll need more people to help, we can't let this little thief escape."

"Aunt, step aside and let my brother do it." Gu Qingqing raised her voice and said.

She is the village chief Gu Tongzhou's daughter, working as a teacher in a city school.

"It's okay, my door doesn't need Brother Feng's help; a few aunties will be fine," Gu Lingling stopped Gu Qingfeng from coming forward and said to the women watching behind.

If there are any images unsuitable for children inside, how can Gu Qingfeng bear it if he gets teased by Wang Meili?

The few women following were originally there to watch the fun, and now after hearing what Gu Lingling said, they all rolled up their sleeves, ready to help.

"Meili, step aside, let me do it." Fat Aunt moved her arms around a couple of times, "Step aside."

As she spoke, she charged at the door, and with a crash, Fat Aunt broke the door open.

"Oh my goodness," Fat Aunt ignored her aching arm and hurriedly covered her eyes, "This...this is really deadly."

Gu Lingling, "..."

Fat Aunt, if you cover your eyes, then cover them properly, but why leave your fingers so wide apart, peeking with a gossiping look without blinking.

"None of you come in, don't come in."

Wang Meili shouted.
