Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

It just so happens that 027 met his mother-in-law and Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e saw Li Chaoyang chatting and laughing with this young girl, and a feeling of jealousy immediately arose in her heart.

The mother-in-law also saw Li Chaoyang chatting and laughing with the girl, exchanging glances.

He shouted loudly when he was still more than 10 meters away.

"Li Chaoyang!"

Li Chaoyang heard the sound and looked across.

He saw his wife and mother-in-law right in front of him.

Fang Yaoyao quickly walked up to her mother-in-law and followed Li Chaoyang to her side.

"Mom, what brings you here? Honey, I was just about to go home to cook for you."

Lou Xiao'e didn't speak, but looked at Fang Yaoyao who was coming towards her.

"Hello, aunties and sisters-in-law, I'm Fang Yaoyao, a new employee at the cultural center."

Seeing how eloquent the girl was, the mother-in-law also spoke up.

"Oh, so you're new here. We have some family matters to attend to and need to go home."

Fang Yaoyao understood what the aunt was saying.

"Okay, Auntie, you can go ahead with your work. I'll be going now."

"Mom, what's the matter that's so urgent? Why did you have to come all this way? It would be much better if I came to your house instead."

"Li Chaoyang, did you know that the two chairs in front of your house are missing?"

"Oh, it was missing this morning. I thought Xiao'e had taken care of it."

"You two? What can I say about you? These two chairs are worth a fortune! Go and get them back!"

After hearing what his mother-in-law said, Li Chaoyang looked at his wife next to him.

"Honey, what's going on?"

"Mom said that these two chairs were made of high-quality sandalwood, which was left to me by my great-grandfather."

Li Chaoyang realized that the two chairs were antiques.

Many people are indeed collecting antique furniture these days.

This old furniture is worth a lot of money.

But then, out of nowhere, the chair disappeared.

Li Chaoyang didn't know where the chair had gone, and now he was wondering where to look for it.

"Mom, wife, don't worry. I'll go back to the yard and ask the neighbors if anyone has seen it. Maybe someone has moved it into their home and is using it?"

Li Chaoyang rode his bicycle and hurried home.

Back in the courtyard, I saw Uncle San watering the flowers, so I asked him a question.

"Uncle is watering the flowers. I need to ask you something. I left those two chairs by the door. Have you seen them? Did anyone move them?"

The old man paused for a moment, then said.

"I didn't notice. What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Chaoyang thought to himself that there was no need to tell Uncle San that these two chairs were valuable.

"It's alright, sir. I was just asking. These two chairs belong to my father-in-law's family. Now my father-in-law wants them back. I put them at the door the day before yesterday and they disappeared."

"It's strange, there shouldn't be any outsiders in this courtyard, so how did the two chairs just disappear for no reason?"

The third uncle, sensing that the words implied doubt about him, said...

"Then you should look carefully. I haven't seen it. You can ask other people."

"Uncle, you're busy, I'll go ask again."

Just then, Xu Damao was getting off work and heading home.

Just then, Li Chaoyang walked to his doorstep.

"Da Mao, did you see those two chairs by my door?"

"Tell me? Li Chaoyang, what do you mean by that? What does it have to do with me? Do you expect me to stand in front of your house and watch your chair?"

"If you didn't see it, you didn't see it. Why are you getting angry? Can't you speak properly?"

"The thing is, the way you're asking this is just wrong. What do you mean? Your chair is missing, why are you asking me?"

“Xu Damao, I have something to do today, so I won’t argue with you.”

"What's wrong with you? Who's going to argue with you? Who needs that broken chair of yours? Why are you asking such a question!"

"Broken chairs? My two chairs have been passed down from the Qing Dynasty, they're worth a lot of money!"

"It's valuable! You put it by the door, and if it gets lost, you deserve it!"

"Xu Damao, are you asking for a beating?!"

Xu Damao saw Li Chaoyang park his bicycle and head towards him.

Lian rushed into his home and locked the door.

Li Chaoyang didn't like hearing Xu Damao say those two sentences.

But I know the important thing now is to find those two chairs.

He suppressed his anger and went from house to house asking questions.

But no one saw Li Chaoyang's two chairs.

Li Chaoyang also found it strange.

If these two chairs hadn't been taken by a neighbor in the yard...

Outsiders can't possibly come into this yard and take two chairs.

After thinking it over, Li Chaoyang didn't even go inside.

I rode my bicycle to the relevant department to report the case.

The person who received Li Chaoyang recognized him at a glance.

"Hey, isn't this Li Chaoyang? What brings you here!"

"Comrade, I'm here today to talk about something. There are two family heirloom 027 chairs in front of my house."

"I just put it at the door the day before yesterday, and it was gone when I woke up this morning. I've come here specifically to report it to the police."

"Li Chaoyang, don't you live in a courtyard house? If something is going missing in your yard, it must have been your neighbor. Is there anyone you suspect?"

"Comrade, I can't say for sure, and I can't make random accusations. Now that it's gone, everyone seems like a suspect. I especially suspect that Xu Damao. I think it's 100% him who did it!"

"Li Chaoyang, without evidence, we can only say he's a suspect. Besides him, do you have any other suspects? We can proceed with the investigation."

"No, it's him. I don't get along with either of them, and he doesn't like me either."

"Li Chaoyang, what kind of chairs are those? Could you describe them in detail?"

"I just heard it from my mother-in-law. These two chairs were passed down from my wife's great-grandfather's family."

"A fine chair made of the finest sandalwood may look worn and tattered on the surface, but it emits a wonderfully fragrant aroma."

"If I don't get these two chairs back now, my mother-in-law will be very upset with me."

“I understand, Li Chaoyang. You didn’t know how valuable these two chairs were at first, but now that they’re gone, your mother-in-law is telling you how valuable they are.”

"You have to get those two chairs back now. Okay, we'll start investigating now, and I'll let you know if there's anything."

"Comrade, thank you for your trouble."

Li Chaoyang had just walked out of the relevant department.

Just as I was about to ride my bike to my father-in-law's house...

Suddenly, someone from the commune called out to Li Chaoyang.

"Li Chaoyang, wait a moment, here is an urgent telegram for you."

Li Chaoyang stopped his bicycle and saw that it was Xiao Wang from the commune.

"Xiao Wang, when did the telegram arrive?"

"It just arrived this morning. I figured you'd be passing by this door on your way home from get off work, so I thought I'd give it to you. Perfect timing, I just saw you."

"Thank you, Xiao Wang."

Li Chaoyang took the telegram and looked at the words written on it: "Grandma is seriously ill, please return immediately."

Holding the telegram, Li Chaoyang grew even more anxious.

These two chairs haven't been found yet.

Grandma is seriously ill again.
