The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Everyone in the yard who was woken up at this time listened carefully. Everyone was eager to gossip and wanted to hear what was stolen.

Unfortunately, even He Daqing didn't know about this. He had to wait until the police arrived to find out from the deaf old lady.

Everyone listened to He Daqing's story and stopped asking questions. Liu Guangtian had already run to the police station to report the crime. The distance was not far, just in the next alley, and it would take about ten minutes to get there.

It just so happened that the Central Courtyard finally noticed the noise in the backyard, and Yi Zhonghai also came over wearing a thick cotton coat.

Yi Zhonghai looked serious. After looking around, he asked Liu Haizhong, "Old Liu, what happened in the middle of the night?"

Yi Zhonghai was only awakened by the noise and didn't hear what happened.

When Liu Haizhong saw Yi Zhonghai coming, he felt unbalanced, especially when the other party spoke, and the other people in the courtyard looked like they were listening carefully.

"Why? I am the uncle."

Liu Haizhong was screaming wildly in his heart and clenching his fists tightly in his pockets.

Liu Haizhong cannot be blamed for all this. After all, both of them are big men, they just happened to be one in front and one behind.

When Liu Haizhong just became a big boss, people in the courtyard didn't give him much face. At first, Liu Haizhong could still face it calmly, but over time, it was still the same, which made Liu Haizhong very happy.

When comparing the two, Liu Haizhong felt that he was nothing.

If someone knew what Liu Haizhong was thinking, they would definitely tell him directly that it was your fault for not knowing anything and just meddlesome things.

Although Yi Zhonghai had been dismissed before, this incident dealt a heavy blow to his prestige.

However, after being in charge of the courtyard for five or six years, Yi Zhonghai's majestic image has been deeply rooted in the courtyard.

Even for some new residents, Yi Zhonghai would help take care of them during the period when he was no longer the boss. This made Yi Zhonghai, after he took over the position again, although he was nominally the third uncle, he ranked behind Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

But others don’t think so. Many people treat Yi Zhonghai as a big boss, which makes Liu Haizhong feel very unbalanced at this time.

Other people might wonder if it was their own problem, but Liu Haizhong's train of thought was unusual. The first thing he thought of was that the reason for all this was because he was not a cadre. If he became a workshop director in a steel mill, would these neighbors still dare to ignore him?

The more Liu Haizhong thought about it, the more he felt that it must be because of this. He seemed to have imagined the scene in which he would be flattered by everyone in the courtyard after he got close to Li Huaide. He didn't even listen carefully to Yi Zhonghai's questions.

It was not until Yi Zhonghai shouted a few more times that Liu Haizhong finally reacted. Seeing Yi Zhonghai looking at him with confusion, Liu Haizhong quickly said, "Ahem, I was a little confused just now. What else could it be? There's a thief in our yard!"

Liu Haizhong said in an exaggerated tone: "I don't know where this little thief came from, but he turned the old lady's house upside down."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly and said dissatisfiedly, "We have not had such a thing for so many years. I think it's because of you, Lao He. If it weren't for you, it wouldn't have happened. Alas..."

Yi Zhonghai fell silent as he spoke. He was afraid that the topic would be brought to himself. What if He Daqing said that if you, Yi Zhonghai, had been taking care of the old lady, then nothing would have happened.

Yi Zhonghai didn't know how to answer. Because of this incident, his prestige, which had finally recovered, might be hit again.

So Yi Zhonghai chose to keep silent.

But even so, he had already said half of his words. The meaning of Yi Zhonghai's words was very clear. Even the neighbors nearby heard it. Everyone followed Yi Zhonghai's train of thought and it seemed to be true.

If He Daqing hadn't insisted on making a fuss, who knows how things would have turned out. After all, at that time everyone just thought that the deaf old lady was just a lonely widower. Who could have thought that there were so many good things in her house.

Seeing the way everyone was looking at him, He Daqing was not happy at the time, and immediately said unhappily: "Why are you looking at me, and if it weren't for you, Lao Yi..."

Before He Daqing could finish his words, he was stopped by Yi Zhonghai.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai didn't want He Daqing to say it in the current situation, so he quickly pulled the other party.

Seeing He Daqing's puzzled expression, Yi Zhonghai quickly winked at him and pointed at He Daqing, meaning that we are all the same and there is no need to quibble.

"Ahem, Lao He, stop talking about these nonsense. Is the old lady okay?"

Seeing that He Daqing wanted to continue speaking, Yi Zhonghai quickly found a topic to draw everyone's attention to the old lady's condition.

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's question, everyone began to show concern and asked, "Yes, yes, uncle, is the old lady okay?"

Facing the neighbor's question, Liu Haizhong was thinking that he didn't know. After all, he had never been in there. He could only see the deaf old lady sitting on the chair. How could he know if she was okay?

But then he thought again, people have asked him, if he answered that he didn't know, that would be terrible. He didn't have much prestige left to begin with, and now it's all gone.

Therefore, Liu Haizhong made a deep expression and said slowly: "The person should be fine. He is still in there."

"Then why are we still here? Did the old lady say anything was lost?"

Another neighbor asked, and this time Liu Haizhong could only shake his head. He couldn't make it up, so he could only shake his head and didn't answer.

Just like that, everyone fell silent, and many people had their own thoughts, and no one knew what they were thinking about.

Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long before someone from the institute came. Liu Guangtian was very quick and he arrived with two comrades in just ten minutes.

"Ahem, comrades, we are in trouble during the New Year."

There were two men coming, a middle-aged man and a young man. The leading man smiled and said, "What's the trouble? It's our responsibility. Which family has been robbed?"

The other party went straight to the point and asked Liu Haizhong.

"Yes, yes, please follow me. This is the one over here."

Liu Haizhong, with a flattering look, brought the two people to the door of the deaf old lady's house.

"This is an elderly lady. It was her neighbor, Mr. He, who lives next door, who discovered the house after hearing something was wrong."

Liu Haizhong explained and pointed at He Daqing who was standing beside him.

The middle-aged man glanced at He Daqing, said nothing, and took his apprentice to the deaf old lady's house.
