The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Yu Li and Liu Minghui were chatting at home when He Yuzhu suddenly ran in and shouted, "Old Liu, hurry over to the meeting."

"Zhu Zi, what's wrong?"

Seeing He Yuzhu's hurried look, Liu Minghui looked at him with a puzzled expression, waiting for his answer curiously.

"Yes, Zhuzi, tell me in detail, what happened in the courtyard?"

Yu Li also looked at him curiously.

He Yuzhu was out of breath and answered anxiously, "My father said that he would hold a meeting. He has already gone to find the three uncles. He knew you were at home, so he asked me to come and inform you."

"Isn't this all ready? Can I still make the decision for him if he notifies me to do anything?"

Liu Minghui had a confused expression on his face, not knowing what He Daqing was doing.

"Oh, I really have to have you. Hurry up and go."

He Yuzhu didn't explain clearly and just pulled Liu Minghui outside.

"Hey, hey, hey, go slower. Why don't you go after dinner?"

Liu Minghui was still saying something, but was interrupted by He Yuzhu's words.

"Come to my house for dinner later."

As a last resort, Liu Minghui followed He Yuzhu to the Intermediate Courtyard.

There were already quite a few people in the central courtyard, and the most obvious ones who were surrounded in the middle were He Daqing and Jia Jia, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"He Daqing, why did you come to us? You ate a lot at the steel mill, but we haven't eaten yet."

Jia Zhang was called out by Yi Zhonghai, and stood in front of He Daqing, saying with an unhappy expression on her face.

"Hey, Jia Zhang, how can you talk like that?"

Upon hearing this, He Daqing angrily scolded Jia Zhang.

"That's what I said. Why, bite me?"

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang was not afraid at all and looked like she was ready to fight to the death with He Daqing.

"Well, a good man doesn't fight with a woman. Let the three gentlemen judge for themselves."

He Daqing certainly couldn't argue too much with Jia Zhang, otherwise the rhythm of the whole scene would fall into Jia Zhang's hands. He quickly changed the subject and looked at Yi Zhonghai and the other two sitting at the Eight Immortals Table.

"Ahem, that's right, Jia Zhang, please stop being unreasonable."

Liu Haizhong spoke first. He was holding a teacup and scolding Jia Zhang in a condescending tone.

"Lao He, you said you wanted to hold a meeting with us to resolve an important matter. Now that everyone is here, you can talk about it."

Liu Haizhong was sitting in the main seat, so Yi Zhonghai could only sit aside. Like Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, as if this could help him fight the cold wind in the evening.

Yi Zhonghai was pulled out by He Daqing while he was eating. At this time, his stomach was still empty, so he hoped that it would end quickly so that he could go back to eat earlier.

"Yeah, everyone hasn't eaten yet."

"That's right, if Third Master hadn't asked me to come, I wouldn't have wanted to participate."

The residents also expressed their dissatisfaction, saying that today's time was indeed a bit awkward.

Everyone had just got off work, and some people had just put dinner on the table when they were called out to a meeting. It would be strange if they could be in a good mood.

"Ahem, sorry neighbors, this is an urgent matter."

He Daqing apologized to his neighbors with a smile on his face.

"Okay, Lao He, you better tell me what's going on."

Yi Zhonghai urged He Daqing again.

"Just say it now."

He Daqing responded and then explained to everyone: "Everyone knows what happened in the old lady's house some time ago."

"Know, know."

"What's wrong? What happened again?"

"The thief was caught."

Everyone was puzzled by what He Daqing said.

He Daqing continued calmly, "There was another thief who hadn't been caught at the time. He took advantage of the old lady's hospital stay and sneaked in to steal her things."

As he spoke, He Daqing looked at Jia Zhang who was bored nearby.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

It would be fine if the thief was from outside and broke into the yard, but what He Daqing meant was that the thief was someone in the yard. No one locks their doors when they go out, so it would be a disaster if there was a thief.

"Uncle He, who knows?"

Xu Damao also came to attend the meeting, and he asked He Daqing thoughtfully.

However, he and He Daqing both looked clearly in the direction of the Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Jia Zhang also noticed this scene, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat, wondering if she had been discovered.

Jia Zhang pretended to be calm and yelled at He Daqing: "What are you looking at? You're not saying it's me, are you? I didn't go to the backyard those days."

Qin Huairu also spoke up from time to time to defend the Jia family.

"Uncle He, please don't wrongly accuse our family. Don't frame others. Maybe it was gone in the first place, or it might have been taken away by thieves."

"Yes, could the old lady have remembered it wrongly?"

When someone heard Qin Huairu say this, they also agreed.

After all, this is just what He Daqing himself said, and people still don't really believe it.

"Hey, the old lady can certainly testify. After all, she was awake when the thieves broke into her house. She should know whether she was missing or not."

After explaining to everyone, He Daqing looked at Qin Huairu and asked, "I just took a look at your mother, and you guys are so flustered. I think it's really possible."

As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, Jia Zhang's face darkened visibly.

"Mr. He, do you believe that I will sleep in your bed tonight? How dare you frame me? I'm giving you the face."

Faced with Jia Zhang's threat, He Daqing was not afraid at all, but found someone behind him.

"Guangtian, tell me what you saw on New Year's Day?"

It turned out that He Daqing had found a witness. Liu Guangtian had no pocket money during the New Year, so he did not go out. Instead, he stayed in the yard with his younger brother Liu Guangfu and happened to see Banggeng entering the deaf old lady's house.

"Lao He, can a child's words serve as evidence?"

Liu Haizhong frowned, looked at He Daqing with dissatisfaction and asked.

"Fatty Liu is right. He Daqing, you are not trying to bribe this little bastard with money, are you?"

Jia Zhang looked at He Daqing with a sneer, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Jia Zhang then remembered that Bang Geng seemed to have mentioned that he always stepped on the ground carefully so that no one noticed him.

But what Jia Zhang didn't know was that Bang Geng just made the whole process sound perfect just to show off his own strength.

Liu Haizhong's face darkened after hearing this.

After all, Jia Zhang's words about her son clearly showed that she looked down on him as an older man, and Jia Zhang also called him Fatty Liu, which made Liu Haizhong even more angry.

He Daqing said angrily: "Jia Zhang, do you think everyone is like your grandson, telling lies all the time? Guangtian is from Old Liu's family after all. I believe in Old Liu's family education. Guangtian will not lie."
