Siheyuan: I can change size at will

In the central courtyard of the quadrangle.

Aunt Li and Aunt Yi were washing clothes together by the sink.

"Auntie, I see you are very happy today, is there anything good?"

Aunt Li asked curiously.

"Haha, you discovered me."

An auntie said proudly: "I am the boss, and it seems that I will soon become the deputy director of the workshop."

"Oh, you've become a cadre now, that's awesome!"

Aunt Li was very envious.

I didn’t expect Yi Zhonghai to be so capable.

"I've finished washing the clothes. I'm going back first."

An old lady carried the clothes and left happily.

Aunt Li then said with a jealous look on her face: "No matter how capable Yi Zhonghai is, it's useless if he doesn't have a child."

"No matter how well he does or how much money he makes, he can't stay."

Aunt Li was holding the clothes and was about to go back when she suddenly heard Auntie's shouting.

"Oh! My house was robbed."

"My house was robbed."

Aunt Li immediately became interested and ran into Yi Zhonghai's house.

I saw an old lady lying on the ground, crying for her parents.

"Damn thief, why did you steal my things..."

"You can steal, but why did you steal so cleanly without leaving any for me?"

Aunt Li was shocked to see the empty house.

If she didn't know that Yi Zhonghai and his wife had always lived in this house, she would have thought it was an empty house.

It was really empty inside. Not only was the bed gone, but not a single piece of furniture was left.

The walls were also clean, and the paintings on them were gone.

"Oh no, I want to go home too."

Aunt Li was afraid that her house had been robbed, so she hurried back home. She was relieved when she found that her house had not been robbed.

Then she gloated, "You deserve it. You show off in front of me."

"This is retribution!"

The old lady's shouting attracted many people over.

How could Jia Zhang miss such excitement?

She brought Qin Huairu with her to eat melons with everyone.

"This old Yi family is so unlucky. When was their home robbed?"

"The problem is, this thief is too much. He stole pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar."

"It's not just these things. Everything in Old Yi's house, except for the clothes that Auntie had just washed, was stolen."

"How did he steal something as big as a bed?"

"The Yi family is in bad luck. I don't know how they are going to live from now on."

"Look, the police are here."

Two police comrades rushed over and were also surprised to see the empty house.

"What kind of thief is this? He stole so cleanly, didn't he?"

When the old lady saw the policeman coming, she grabbed the policeman's hand tightly as if she had found her savior.

"Comrade police, please help me catch this damn thief."

"Auntie, calm down. We will definitely help you catch the thief."

The police comrades were also very confident, even though supplies were scarce these days and petty thefts occurred frequently in various parts of the capital.

However, this was the first time they had encountered such a large-scale theft where even the beds were taken away.

It stands to reason that moving these large items would easily be discovered by people around.

But after asking around, the two comrades were stunned.

No one saw anyone stealing anything.

"How could something this big be moved away without making any noise?"

This was a difficult problem. The police comrade comforted the old lady and hurried back to the police station to hold a meeting to study this major theft case.

Jia Zhang returned to the house and gave some water to Banggeng who was resting on the kang. She gloated, "Haha, the old Yi family can't even afford to eat now."

"I think he might even ask us to give him some cornmeal."

Qin Huairu said, "Mom, my great grandfather has helped our family a lot. Now that his family is in trouble, we should help him too.

Jia Zhang glared with triangular eyes and scolded: "Qin Huairu, what do you mean, are you hooking up with Yi Zhonghai?"

"No, mother, I have nothing to do with the uncle."

Qin Huairu didn't expect that Jia Zhang would actually suspect him of doing such a thing.

At the old man's age, even if she was blind, there was no way she would hook up with him.

Isn’t it great to be young and strong and have fun with Cao Zheng?

Although the process was a bit shameful, Qin Huairu had to admit that this unique kind of stimulation was indeed addictive.

"Cao Zhengshuang hasn't looked for me for a long time. Is he tired of me?"

She even thought about this question again.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was a little distracted, Jia Zhangshi became even angrier.

"Yi Zhonghai is not a good guy either."

"Do you really think he is helping our Jia family for free?"

"In fact, he just wanted Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age."

"How could I not know what he was thinking?"

Jia Zhang spat and said, "If Old Jia hadn't passed away early, I wouldn't have let Dongxu worship him as my master."

"This old man used to help our family, but now his family is poorer than ours."

"Have less contact with him in the future."

After saying this, Jia Zhang immediately lit two incense sticks and waved them towards Old Jia.

"Old Jia, luckily you are blessing our Jia family from heaven, so we don't have any thieves."

"That old bastard Yi Zhonghai was plotting against our son Dongxu to support him in his old age, and now he's getting his comeuppance..."

Time flies and soon it's time to get off work.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu returned to the courtyard together.

"Master, don't lose heart."

"Look at the factory's punishment. It's obvious that they want to use you more."

"Just bear with it for a month..."

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied to see that Jia Dongxu still stayed with him.

He is worthy of being the elderly person I chose. Although his ability is not very good, at least he respects me very much.

As for the other elderly person, Sha Zhu, he has good abilities, but his brain is a little slow.

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath: "Dongxu, don't worry, I eat more salt than you eat rice."

"This little thing can't hit me."

Jia Dongxu flattered him: "Master, if you don't have anything to eat at home, I will go back and get you two kilograms of corn flour."

Yi Zhonghai said proudly: "Dongxu, isn't it just a fine of one month's salary for me?"

"Your master is wealthy. Even if he fines me a year's salary, let alone one month's salary, he won't let me starve."

Yi Zhonghai has no children to raise and no particularly expensive hobbies.

Apart from occasionally visiting half-open doors, there wasn't much to spend money on.

So Yi Zhonghai saved 4000 yuan, this money mainly for his future retirement.

When Yi Zhonghai stepped into the courtyard, he always felt that the people inside were looking at him with pity.

"What's going on?"

Yi Zhonghai returned to the house and was shocked to see the empty house and an old lady lying on the ground crying.

"What's going on here?"

"Boss, our house has been robbed!"
