Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

Early the next morning.

Yan Bugui took his fishing rod and bucket and prepared to go out fishing, but found that the bicycle parked outside the door was missing.

Thinking that Yu Li had just ridden away, Yan Bugui hurried to the side room where his son and daughter-in-law lived, just in time Yu Li came out on a bicycle.

"Dad." Yu Li greeted coldly.

"Yu Li, we decided at the family meeting last night that I will go fishing on my bike today. Why did you hide the bike in the house?"

Yan Bugui felt that his authority was challenged, and anger suddenly ignited in his heart.

Yu Li was startled and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? I borrowed this bicycle from Section Chief Cao last night. If my sister and he were not classmates in junior high school, he would not have lent it to me."

"Did you borrow it from Cao Yue?"

Yan Bugui went forward and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was not his car.

He polishes his bicycle several times a day, and he can clearly see even the smallest flaws on it.

"Then where is my bicycle?" Yan Bugui asked in a lost voice.

Yu Li shook her head: "How would I know?"

Yan Bugui was panicked, as if his butt was on fire. He quickly ran home to wake up his wife and children, but when he asked them, they knew nothing.

"Oh no! Dad, didn't it get stolen by a thief?" Yan Jiecheng shouted in panic.

Yan Bugui's body swayed, and then he hurriedly ran out of the yard.

He has to call the police immediately.

As I ran out of the yard, I suddenly seemed to see something out of the corner of my eye. Looking back, I saw a bicycle without a front wheel leaning against the wall.

Looking closely, I saw that it was his bicycle.

"Hurry up, someone, there's a thief, a big thief..."

Yan Bugui was so angry that he shouted loudly, his voice was deafening.

After a while, the neighbors who heard the noise came running out.

When everyone saw that a wheel of Yan Bugui's bicycle was stolen, they started talking about it.

In fact, this is also Yan Bugui’s own fault.

He knew that the bicycle was valuable and should have put it inside at night.

But in order to show off, he just put it outside, and something went wrong.

"Dad, go call the police quickly." Yan Jiecheng reminded.

"Yes, yes, I'll call the police."

Yan Bugui quickly ran outside again.

……

Yi Zhonghai drank tea with a smile on his face.

Yan Bugui was the happiest person because a wheel of his bicycle was stolen.

This incident is enough to make Yan Laokou feel distressed for ten years!

At this time, his wife came running back from outside and whispered, "Lao Yi, the wheel must have been stolen by Zhuzi."

"What?" Yi Zhonghai's face changed.

Aunt Yi whispered, "Just now when Zhuzi went out, I told him that Yan Bugui's bicycle was stolen. Guess what he said, he said at most one wheel was stolen."

"He hadn't gotten up yet when the accident happened in the morning, how could he know so much?"

"Stupid!" Yi Zhonghai slammed the table angrily.

Aunt Yi already treated Sha Zhu as her own child and said anxiously:

"You should think of a solution quickly. Old Yan has already called the police. If they find out that Zhuzi did it, he will be sentenced to several years in prison at least."

Yi Zhonghai stood up suddenly.

Sha Zhu is now his only pensioner, and nothing must happen to him.

……

Yan Bugui returned home dejected and lay directly on the bed, sighing continuously.

"How is it? Any clues?" Aunt Yan asked hurriedly.

Yan Bugui looked worried: "Alas, Director Zhang said he would investigate, but I think it's unlikely that he can find it."

"Oh, go get the boss."

"What do you want him to do?"

"Just go when I tell you to." Yan Bugui said impatiently.

After a while, Yan Jiecheng pushed the door open and saw Yan Bugui already sitting in the living room.

"Dad, you need me for something."

Yan Bugui said: "Boss, I have decided that in order to maintain a good relationship with my in-laws, I will lend our bicycle to Yu Li's family for use."

Yan Jiecheng was stunned for a moment: "Dad, we have already borrowed Cao Yue's bicycle, there is no need..."

"Don't you have to repay the favor if you borrow someone's bicycle?" Yan Bugui interrupted.

"Yu Li pays 20 cents a day as the cost of renting a car," said Yan Jiecheng.

"What? Two cents? You prodigal son, you spent that much money when you already have a bicycle at home. That's how I taught you since you were a child." Yan Bugui took the opportunity to scold him.

Yan Jiecheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and asked, "Dad, have you found the bicycle wheel?"

Yan Bugui coughed lightly and said, "No, but you can go to the repair shop and buy an old one and install it."

Yan Jiecheng immediately understood his father's plan.

"Dad, you don't do things like this. You lost your car, why should I pay for it?"

"I really raised you in vain." Yan Bugui scolded his son for being unfilial when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Yi Zhonghai walked in with a wheel in his hand.

"Uncle, I found a bicycle wheel on the road. You happened to have lost one, so I came to see if you could use it."

Yan Bugui quickly stood up, took it in his hand, measured it, and then said with great joy:

"It works, it works, Lao Yi, you finally did a good thing today."

Yi Zhonghai's face froze. What was he talking about?

"Since it works, you should close the case immediately, otherwise you will never find your wheel again."

"Okay, I'll go and close the case later. If Chief Zhang asks me about it, I'll say that my child was naughty and hid the wheel."

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and spoke to Yi Zhonghai shrewdly.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yi Zhonghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, said a few more words, and turned to leave.

Yan Bugui stared at the wheel in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Dad, you are so lucky. You can get it back." Yan Jiecheng said with a smile.

Yan Bugui looked at his son as if he were a fool:

"How can you be so stupid? Who do you take after?"

"Do you really believe that Yi Zhonghai picked this up? Go out and pick one up for me to see? He must have bought this."

"Ah?" Yan Jiecheng asked in confusion, "Dad, are you saying that Yi Zhonghai paid for this out of his own pocket just to please you?"

Yan Bugui didn't want to see his stupid son again, and sneered:

"I've figured out who stole our bicycle wheel."

"Who is it?" Aunt Yan asked hurriedly.

Yan Bugui snorted coldly: "Who else but Sha Zhu!"

"Silly Zhu?" Aunt Yan was a little puzzled.

Yan Bugui was too lazy to explain. He thought for a moment and said, "Since the wheels are back, let's forget about it."

"We can't just let it go."

Yan Jiecheng suddenly got excited: "Dad, we can call the police and have Sha Zhu arrested. That kid brings lunch boxes home every day but never thinks of honoring you, his uncle. This is a good opportunity to punish him."

Yan Bugui was a little tempted, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"Forget it, he probably knows about what happened with Teacher Ran, and he's taking revenge on me."

"If outsiders knew the truth, how would I live my life and educate my students in the future?"

There is one more thing Yan Bugui didn't say.

Although Cao Yue is not on good terms with Sha Zhu, he is a classmate of He Yushui and the two have a close relationship. If Sha Zhu is really sued, Cao Yue might be offended.

"Dad, now that the bicycle wheel has been found, I'll install it later and let Yu Li's family ride the bicycle for the next two days."

Yan Jiecheng went to get the wheel.

Yan Bugui quickly held out his hand: "Give me thirty cents a day."

"Dad, how come your rent is more expensive than Cao Yue's?" Yan Jiecheng was shocked. "Just now you said you wanted to maintain a good relationship with your in-laws."

"It's a different time!" Yan Bugui shook his head.

"We won't lend it anymore." Yan Jiecheng left angrily.
