Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Yi Zhonghai was very angry about the theft of money at home. Without thinking much, he walked out with a gloomy face.

Seeing that the front yard where Yan Bugui was was surrounded by people, he also walked over.

"My house has been robbed. Everyone go home and check if anything is missing. Then go to the central courtyard. We have to catch the thief."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai stood in the middle courtyard and shouted loudly to the residents who were surrounding Yan Bugui.

After hearing this, everyone rushed home to check.

Not long after, everyone rushed over from their homes.

"Uncle, our family is fine, nothing is missing."

“My house is not lost either.”

“It’s the same in my family.”

"..."

Many neighbors came forward to report their own situations, and after a while, it was found that Yan Bugui's and Yi Zhonghai's homes were robbed.

Seeing this, an old man named Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and said, "A terrible thing happened in our courtyard. Just now, when we were holding a meeting in the backyard, my money and five catties of flour were stolen, and Teacher Yan's rabbit was also stolen."

"Our courtyard has been an excellent and civilized courtyard for many years, and we have never lost a needle or thread, but this time such a serious problem occurred."

"It's very likely that someone from our compound did this. Who did it? Come forward and return the money, flour, and rabbits, and we'll let this matter go. Since this is your first time doing this and we're all from the same compound, we won't blame you."

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he looked at everyone's faces, trying to determine who did it through their expressions.

But Yi Zhonghai was disappointed. He saw many expressions on the faces of the residents around him, such as surprise and pity, but there was no fear or shame.

Yi Zhonghai scanned the faces of the people watching the excitement outside one by one, and got even angrier when he didn't get an answer.

"If no one admits it, it means it wasn't done by anyone in our yard. Then I'll call the police and let more professional people investigate."

It was impossible for Yi Zhonghai to tell who stole the item by looking at other people's expressions, because the thief Bang Geng and the only other person who knew about the incident, Jia Zhang, were hiding in the Jia family because they felt guilty and did not come out.

What Uncle Yi Zhonghai didn't expect was that he was choked by someone as soon as he said he would call the police.

Yan Jiefang said, "Uncle, if you call the police directly, our courtyard will lose its reputation as an excellent and civilized courtyard. This is not acceptable."

"Besides, isn't the rule of our courtyard that matters in the courtyard should be resolved in the courtyard? This was set by you uncles in the beginning. What? Now that you are the victim, you want to treat your words as fart?"

"Others deal with problems in the hospital, but you call the police. Isn't this a bit too hypocritical?"

Yan Jiefang was very unhappy when he saw the old man Yi Zhonghai using moral blackmail on the residents. Now he has the opportunity to stand on the moral high ground and use moral blackmail on Yi Zhonghai, he cannot let it go.

Moreover, he knew that it was Bang Geng who stole the things, and he stopped them from calling the police. Although he did not gain any benefit from the Jia family, if Yi Zhonghai insisted on calling the police, the Jia family would definitely hate Yi Zhonghai even more.

The Jia family is extremely ungrateful. As long as the prince of the Jia family suffers a little loss, Yi Zhonghai, who caused Bang Geng to suffer, will be criticized by the Jia family.

After being criticized by Yan Jiefang, Uncle Yi Zhonghai paused for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Previously, it was just a quarrel between neighbors, not a big deal. We could have just held a meeting of the whole courtyard to criticize and educate them. But now, this is a serious theft. If we don't investigate it thoroughly, every household in our courtyard will be in trouble in the future. For the property safety of the residents in the courtyard, I decided to call the police."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai spoke in a very righteous manner, as if he was thinking about everyone, which made everyone cheer for him and they felt more in favor of this uncle in charge.

Yan Jiefang cursed in his heart, what a hypocrite, bah!

"Uncle, should we not be so anxious to call the police? What if it was someone in the yard who stole it? He would be too embarrassed to admit it in front of everyone. If you call the police and the police find out, then this neighbor will be finished," said Yan Jiefang.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai was extremely angry because he lost 1,500 yuan, and he hated the thief who stole his money to the extreme.

Besides, what does the future of other people have to do with him? He replied directly and righteously: "Since you can steal 1,500 yuan, are you afraid of being embarrassed? Even if it's someone in the yard, we have to teach him a lesson and let him know that the law cannot be touched."

When he said that he had lost fifteen hundred yuan, the residents who were watching the excitement around him started to make a commotion and started talking.

What does one thousand five hundred yuan mean?

Many residents in the courtyard dare not even think about it. Some of them only have a few dozen yuan in savings at home, and they dare not imagine what fifteen hundred yuan would be like.

Everyone couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune. Who made you so rich? Your money was going to be stolen by the thief anyway, so why didn't you give us some?

Yan Jiefang also had to sigh, it was indeed a story full of love in the courtyard!

Yan Jiefang looked around and found that Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng did not appear. Only Qin Huairu was standing silently aside without any expression.

He knew that Jia Zhang and Bang Geng had no guilty conscience and did not tell Qin Huairu about the theft.

Yan Jiefang laughed secretly in his heart. As long as Qin Huairu reported what happened on the scene back to the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai called the police, and Bang Geng was arrested, the two families would quarrel.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai ignored the strange looks from others and looked around. Seeing Xu Damao watching the excitement, he shouted, "Damo, go to the police station and call the police."

He couldn't order the others around. He could order the three sons of the second uncle around before, but now the eldest son ran away and the remaining two sons separated from their father. He just wanted to deal with them, but it was difficult to order them around. And He Yuzhu was out of his control, and the relationship was quite bad.

The former Third Uncle Yan Bugui used to be stingy and could be bribed by doing some small favors. But now he doesn't even want to be the manager. He just doesn't want to get involved in the trivial matters in the yard. It is also not easy for him to instruct his children to call the police. After looking around, only Xu Damao is suitable.

Xu Damao was also happy to join in the fun in the yard. He agreed and ran out of the yard.
