Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040 The Thief Ran Away Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040 The Thief Ran Away Su Yunjin patted her chest with her hand, that was close, she almost drove Gu Ya to anger. Provoking Gu Ya wouldn’t do her any good. Su Yunjin wouldn’t do such a thing.

Gu Changshun planned to steal from Su Yunjin’s house that night, and after dark, he stealthily climbed up the wall of their home.

Seeing that the lights were still on in the room of the husband and wife, Gu Changshun did not dare to steal rashly. After jumping down, he hid in the courtyard of Su Yunjin’s house, waiting for an opportunity to act. Inside the house, Su Yunjin was holding a handful of sour plums to eat, which she had taken a liking to after getting pregnant.

Sour.

They were particularly tasty.

Suddenly, after taking a bath and changing clothes in the room, Su Yunjin noticed what seemed like a shadow flitting past outside, and instinctively she put down the candied fruit in her hand and opened the door.

“Husband, I think I just saw a shadow passing through our courtyard.” Could it be a thief? Su Yunjin wondered to herself. Gu Ya finished dressing and looked towards his young wife, “Yunjin, are you sure you saw someone in the courtyard?”

Su Yunjin was not totally certain.

She thought she saw a shadow.

However, to be on the safe side, Su Yunjin still felt it would be safer to have Gu Ya take a look, “Husband, go and have a look! What if there is a thief?”

Gu Ya still decided to go out and have a look.

If there was a thief, he would catch him.

If not, naturally that would be for the best.

Gu Changshun hid in their woodshed, that was close, he was almost discovered just now. Gu Ya stepped out, and the door to his young wife’s room was closed.

“Yunjin, don’t come out of the house, I will go out and look around.” Gu Ya instructed his young wife and told her to bar the door.

Su Yunjin listened to Gu Ya and shut the door.

Gu Ya carried an oil lamp with him as he went out.

The outside was not too dark, and Gu Ya roughly checked the courtyard, but found nothing unusual. Then he went to the backyard to search, while Gu Changshun was hiding in the woodshed.

He knew he might have been discovered.

Now he had no mind to steal anything.

Thinking about how to escape was the main thing now.

Gu Changshun was no match for Gu Ya.

If he were really discovered, he would definitely not end well.

Gu Changshun had suffered at the hands of Gu Ya not once or twice, and inexplicably, he harbored fear towards Gu Ya, his third uncle. Taking advantage of Gu Ya heading to the backyard, Gu Changshun stealthily ran out of the woodshed and climbed over the wall, swiftly scaling it with agile movements.

Gu Ya suddenly went to the front courtyard, just as the oil lamp shone on Gu Changshun, startling him so much that he nearly wet himself, and he slipped.

With a splash, Gu Changshun fell off the wall.

Hearing the noise, Gu Ya realized they really had attracted a thief, and his young wife was not mistaken. He opened the door and chased out.

After Gu Changshun fell, knowing he had already alerted Gu Ya, he didn’t care about the pain in his backside from the fall–he scrambled up and darted into the woods.

Gu Ya chased out, but Gu Changshun had already fled deep into the woods, so Gu Ya didn’t go after him. Scaring away the small thief was enough.

At first, Su Yunjin had been hiding in the house, but worried about Gu Ya, so she opened the door and also stepped outside, just in time to see Gu Ya returning with the oil lamp. Su Yunjin ran up to him and anxiously asked, “Husband, how did it go? Did you see the thief?”

Gu Ya had discovered Gu Changshun, who at the time had already fallen off the wall, so Gu Ya only knew that a thief had come to their house, but as for who the thief was?

Gu Ya didn’t have a clear look.

“Yunjin, the thief has already run away.”
