Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, Uncle Yi Zhonghai was also stunned. The meat is gone?

Yi Zhonghai’s first reaction was, could it be that you, He Yuzhu, were greedy?

But soon he felt that it was impossible. If He Yuzhu hid it secretly, he would be able to find it with a search and would be exposed. He believed that He Yuzhu would not do such a stupid thing.

But on second thought, judging from the information provided by He Yuzhu, the meat he bought was stolen in a very short time, and the person who could have done this must have been someone in his yard.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment, and a name came to his mind: Jia Zhang.

Banggeng learned the petty stealing skills from her, and the Jia family also lived in the central courtyard. When she saw herself leave, He Yuzhu went into the house to change clothes, and the pork was unattended for a while, so she had plenty of time to commit the crime. In addition, she had a criminal record and often stole things from the residents in the courtyard, so the first person she thought of was her.

Thinking of this, Uncle Yi Zhonghai's face was suddenly filled with anger, but when he thought that he still needed Bang Geng to support him in his old age, he felt a little helpless.

Just when Yi Zhonghai didn't know how to make a decision, an old lady suddenly said, "Zhu Zi, was the pork stolen before I came to your house?"

"Yes!" He Yuzhu replied.

After hearing He Yuzhu's reply, Auntie seemed to understand something and said, "Just now when I came out of the house, I saw Jia Zhang holding something and hurried back. I didn't pay much attention at the time and went straight to Zhuzi's house. Now it seems that it is very likely that Jia Zhang took away the meat that Lao Yi bought."

After some analysis by the aunt, the culprit for the theft immediately emerged.

Seeing this, everyone turned their attention to the uncle, wanting Uncle Yi Zhonghai to express his opinion.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai had no choice. Facing the gazes of all the neighbors, he couldn't just cover up the crime openly. Although he bought the meat with his own money, he bought it to entertain everyone. Now Jia Zhang's move was equivalent to directly opposing the people in the entire courtyard, which aroused public outrage.

"This Jia Zhang family is too lawless."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai left a message angrily and walked towards the Jia family.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Jia Zhang, please open the door for me!"

Uncle Yi Zhong, with a droopy face, knocked on the door and shouted into the room in a deep voice.

After waiting for a minute, there was no response from the room. Yi Zhonghai was now 100% sure that the pork he bought was in this room. He continued to shout into the room: "Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu, I know you are home, please open the door for me."

Inside the room, Jia Zhang curled her lips and murmured with disdain, "I won't open it, what can you do to me?"

Qin Huairu said with a worried look on her face: "Mom, let's return the meat to the old man. What if we make him angry?"

Seeing that there was still no movement in the house, Yi Zhonghai, an old man outside the house, shouted angrily: "Qin Huairu, open the door and return the meat I bought today. If you don't open the door, I will find someone to break the door open."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Huairu, who was still worried, immediately ran to the door and opened it. She looked at Uncle Yi Zhonghai and the residents standing at the door of the Jia family with an apologetic look, quickly opened the door, and said, "Uncle, I'm really sorry, I can't control my mother-in-law."

Qin Huairu removed herself from the matter with just one sentence, with an apologetic look on her face. The residents would not blame her for this, but would only vent their anger on Jia Zhang, allowing her to maintain her image of being hard-working, filial to her parents, and willing to work hard.

Seeing Qin Huairu open the door, the fat man weighing more than 200 pounds like a pig quickly jumped up from the bed, ran to the door nimbly, occupied the door tightly, and did not let Yi Zhonghai in.

Seeing Jia Zhang's shameless behavior, Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice: "Jia Zhang, don't go too far. I bought these two pieces of meat to celebrate the fact that Bang Geng became my godson. Now you take all the meat away. Do you want to make fun of me?"

"Yi Zhonghai, you said it yourself, it was because Banggeng worshipped you as his godfather that you arranged the banquet, and they were able to have the banquet thanks to my grandson. My grandson didn't even have meat, so why should we give them meat? Just let them have some vegetarian dishes, and use the rest of the meat to make braised pork for my grandson!"

Jia Zhang shouted arrogantly, not taking anyone in the courtyard seriously. In her eyes, these people in the courtyard were taking advantage of her Jia family. If it were her way of thinking, she would not even invite them to dinner.

At this time, Yan Jiefang, who had just returned from outside, also learned the whole story through He Yuzhu's explanation. When he heard Jia Zhang's bold words, he couldn't help laughing.

But in this situation, Yan Jiefang's laughter was particularly loud, which naturally caused Jia Zhang's dissatisfaction. In addition, her grandson was detained in a juvenile detention center for a week for stealing, so she had a lot of resentment towards the Yan family.

"Yan Jiefang, what are you laughing at? What does this have to do with you? Get out of here!" Jia Zhang said directly.

Yan Jiefang was not lenient with her. He sneered and retorted, "I am just laughing at your fart. What does my laughing have to do with you? If you have the time, you should take care of yourself. Grandma and grandson are sneaking around all day long. Your Jia family is a den of thieves."

After that, he said loudly to the people around him: "Everyone, take good care of your own things in the future, and don't let the Jia family steal them. In addition, I suggest that for the safety of everyone's property, every household should buy a lock in the future."

"It can't be locked. If it is locked, won't our courtyard be rated as an excellent and civilized courtyard?"

As soon as Yan Jiefang proposed, Uncle Yi Zhonghai could not sit still and jumped out to oppose it. It was he who proposed that every household should not have locks, just for his retirement plan, to implement his ideas in the whole courtyard. If every household had locks, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?

Yan Jiefang laughed and said to Uncle Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, I proposed this for the sake of everyone's property safety. If you object, just ignore what I said."

After Yan Jiefang finished speaking, he retreated silently. He did not intend to confront the old man head-on. He just planned to jump out from time to time to stir up trouble, so that the image of Yi Zhonghai as a respected good man in the minds of the residents would completely collapse. By then, even if he did not take action himself, Yi Zhonghai's image would completely collapse.

"Let's not discuss anything else for now, let's discuss Jia Zhang's matter first." Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang and continued, "Jia Zhang, I'll ask you again, will you give me the pork or not?"

"Not to mention asking once, even if you ask a hundred times, I won't take it!" Jia Zhang replied loudly, without any intention of backing down, standing firmly in front of the door.

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had made up his mind, and shouted to the women behind him: "Go and pull Jia Zhang away, I'll go find the pork."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai's words came out, the women who wanted to have a bite of pork obeyed and rushed towards Jia Zhang. Jia Zhang struggled hard, but was dragged out by the crowd without noticing.

This posture directly shocked Qin Huairu and the three children. Banggeng instantly forgot the idea of ​​following his grandmother to defend the pork. This group of old women fought too ferociously and he couldn't afford to offend them, so he hid behind Qin Huairu and acted like a turtle.

Seeing Jia Zhang being taken away, Yi Zhonghai walked into the Jia family’s kitchen and took out two pieces of pork.
