Chapter 221 She’s just a wild girl (first watch)
Everyone naturally turned to look at Su Guisheng and his wife upon hearing Xiaofeng’s words. Everyone knew about the visit to Guaizi’s home yesterday morning, but since the visitors didn’t stay long and no one had inquired who they were or what they wanted.
Now, with what Xiaofeng had just said, everyone understood; it turned out that the three people who visited Guaizi’s home yesterday morning had stolen the money from Guisheng’s house.
Yes, it seemed like yesterday Guisheng got into a car with some people and then went to the county town, claiming he was looking for Xiaofeng.
So, they had intended to trick Xiaofeng out of her money, but having failed to do so, the con artists turned their attention to robbing Su Guisheng and his wife instead.
Thinking it over, everyone didn’t know what to say about Su Guisheng and his wife. Reflecting on the matter, if they hadn’t been so eager to get involved yesterday morning, would they have invited the wolf into their house, leading to their own front door being robbed?
At this thought, Su Wu couldn’t help but find it simultaneously laughable and frustrating, "Yeah, Uncle Guisheng, the moment someone arrived at Xiaofeng’s place, you were all too eager to approach them, not at all concerned whether they might be fraudsters. Unless you knew them beforehand, how could you possibly lead the way without question? Even if you were to show them the way, it should have been Guaizi who was more desperate, not you. Why such eagerness?"
Hence, it is said that one’s calculations should never be too precise, for in being too clever by half, one might inadvertently include oneself in the reckoning.
"Of course, he was in a hurry. He was eager to get a share of Xiaofeng’s money, how could he not be?" Someone muttered under their breath, yet it was the most truthful remark.
