Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

"I'm begging you, Xu Damao, please just shut up..."

"Don't get another beating soon!"

Unfortunately, Li Chaoyang overheard Lou Xiao'e's words.

He couldn't help but look at Lou Xiao'e with newfound judgment; she truly lived up to her wealthy upbringing.

This guy has a much better eye for detail than that idiot Xu Damao...

I don't know how Lou Xiao'e could have been so blind as to marry such a scoundrel...

Li Chaoyang shook his head with a strange expression.

To be honest, he didn't really care too much about losing meat today.

So the excitement at this moment couldn't stop him from observing the scene with a detached, spectator's attitude.

He never expected things to escalate to this extent.

After finding the plate, he had no intention of investigating further.

After all, the meat had already been scattered on the ground, and he hadn't caught the culprit red-handed.

Even if we dragged the little brat over and questioned him now, there's nothing we can do if he stubbornly denies it...

But just because he thinks this way doesn't mean that everyone else thinks this way.

After all, having a thief in the yard is no small matter!

These days, life is tough for everyone...

If Li Chaoyang's family can lose a plate of meat today, who knows what they might lose tomorrow!

Li Chaoyang may not care about such a huge loss, but everyone else is worried that their own homes will also be robbed!

So right now, everyone really wants to find the meat thief... to prevent future trouble.

As a result, by this point, everyone's gaze towards Qin Huairu's family had become increasingly direct.

They practically had their doubts about the idiot written all over their foreheads!

Jia Xudong is a man after all, and naturally he cares about his reputation!

Now the entire hospital is staring at me with unwavering eyes, and they all have this "you have a thief in your house" look on their faces.

It made him a little out of sorts!

With a determined look, Jia Xudong stared intently at Li Chaoyang.

Thinking to myself, since none of you believe that I, Bang Geng, am innocent, then I'll call him over for a face-to-face confrontation!

Li Chaoyang felt somewhat bewildered as the man stared at him with a sinister expression...

Before he could react, Jia Xudong suddenly turned around and roughly pushed aside the people blocking the gate, heading straight out of the backyard. But instead of going home, he went to the corner leading from the backyard and shouted at the top of his lungs towards his house: "Bang Geng! You better get over here right now!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a timid response came from the dark corner around the bend.

"dad...".

Chapter Thirty-Four: Given time, this child will surely become a notorious bandit!

"Bang Geng?" Jia Xudong was taken aback when he heard his son's voice coming from beside him.

He looked around but still couldn't see anyone, so he asked, "Banggeng, where are you?"

"dad...."

"I'm here..."

The sound of the stick echoed faintly again. The others in the backyard didn't hear it, but Jia Xudong, who was in the alley, heard it clearly. But suddenly hearing the sound but not seeing anyone made him feel a chill run down his spine.

But... that's clearly my son Banggeng's voice!

Jia Xudong immediately cursed impatiently, "Bang Geng! Where are you hiding, you little brat?"

The angry shouts coming from the alley drew everyone's attention, and they all craned their necks to look.

But they saw nothing but Jia Xudong...

Moreover, Jia Xudong was muttering to himself in the alley, searching for a catchy phrase...

Just then, several more people rushed out of the backyard...

As soon as they went outside, they saw what looked like a pair of bright, sparkling eyes in the dark corner of the wall.

Then, a small figure stood up and slowly emerged from the darkness...

It was faintly visible that the person's clothes were covered in dust, appearing to be streaked with white and black...

He moved to the dim light at the back gate.

Everyone finally got a good look!

But at the same time, they were also stunned...

That's really stupid!

But....

What happened to this child?

Banggeng's face was covered in black and gray mud, just like his clothes.

Perhaps because she had wiped her face with her sleeve, there were streaks.

Needless to say, his body was filthy, his chest and cuffs were covered in dirt... This kid was practically a mud monkey!

Li Chaoyang was also surprised to see that this person was really amazing!

He was absolutely certain that the figure he had just seen was this kid!

Even he didn't expect that this kid would be hiding here!

That's truly a case of skill and daring!

I thought he had run away, but it turns out he's been hiding in this alley all along!

It really does have a bit of a "blind spot" feel to it...

Li Chaoyang couldn't help but sigh inwardly...

That little rascal Banggeng is so young, yet he's already using psychological tactics to steal meat!

During holidays, he'll surely become a legendary notorious thief...

This promising young man, who could have achieved great things in the future, was now looking pitifully at his father, Jia Xudong, with his eyes pleading...

He even looked extremely frightened...

Just moments before, Jia Xudong had snapped out of his rage and asked with a stern face, "Bang Geng, weren't you doing your homework in your room?"

"How did you end up here?"

"And you've gotten yourself all dirty!"

"You little brat, you're itching for a beating again, aren't you?"

Jia Xudong asked angrily, his somewhat ferocious expression seeming a bit too menacing.

The kid Banggeng was so scared that he kept backing away...

At this moment, Qin Huairu quickly went over. As soon as the boy saw her coming, he quickly hid behind her and timidly called out, "Mom..."

But as soon as Qin Huairu got close to her son, her expression suddenly changed!

Because she could smell it all – her son smelled like braised pork!

He grabbed the man's shoulder and looked down...

The filthy mud on the stick-like creature's body is just oil stains mixed with dust, isn't it...?

Instantly, Qin Huairu's fair cheeks turned a deep liver color...

She gripped the shoulder of the stick tightly, somewhat annoyed, and muttered, "Since you've been hiding, why did you come out...?"

"Now your dad's going to beat you to death, you brat!"

Qin Huairu muttered under her breath, her face showing some anxiety, but she intentionally or unintentionally blocked the view of the others behind her.

She can now be certain that the one who stole the braised pork from Li Chaoyang's house was her own son, Banggeng!

The thought of a group of people waiting anxiously behind her to catch the thief made Qin Huairu break out in a cold sweat!

At this moment, Jia Xudong seemed to realize that something was wrong...

After thinking for a moment, he said directly to Qin Huairu, "Take the stick back to the house first..."

But before he could even react, Qin Huairu had finished speaking.

The few people who had just come out had already stepped forward and blocked their way!

A rather burly-looking man glanced at Jia Xudong and questioned, "What do you mean, Jia Xudong?"

"Just now you were acting like you wanted to call your son over for a confrontation."

"Now that you see this meat thief is really your darling, you want Qin Huairu to take him back first...?"

"What... are you feeling guilty now that you've found out your son is a thief?"
