Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

Chapter 17: Taking Advantage but Suffering Disadvantages

"It's really gone!" Xu Xiaoran was frightened by the yard in front of her, and turned to ask Yi Bufan: "Did you move away?"

Before, there were so many things placed in it that it felt like a garbage dump. Now, all of a sudden, all the things are gone, and it feels like this yard is as big as the square outside.

"No, everyone moved away! Otherwise, why would I let an old man hold a meeting of the whole hospital to thank everyone?"

Yi Bufan's voice was naturally very loud.

However, can Xu Xiaoran believe it? Did these people move by themselves?

However, at this time, Xu Xiaoran realized that he was actually holding his head up, and he quickly lowered his head.

Because she saw Xu Damao coming.

"Yi Bufan, you are really capable. You moved so many things so quickly?"

Xu Damao was not stupid. Looking at these people, it didn't look like they had moved away on their own.

"Brother Damao, you are joking. These are the neighbors who keep their word!"

As soon as Yi Bufan finished speaking, everyone gathered around him.

"Yi Bufan, give me back my things. Where did you throw them?"

Jia Zhang looked unwilling to give in, and Jia Dongxu followed suit with an angry look on his face.

Those things add up to at least dozens of dollars.

"Comrade Yi Bufan, even if you feel that our things are taking up space, you should have told us if you wanted to throw them away."

Yan Bugui was fine, as he knew that it was their things that were taking up space in the yard.

"That's right. You clearly promised to let us release it before, but now you're throwing it away."

"That's right, Comrade Yi Bufan, what you did was not right."

"Uncle, you have to take care of this matter. Although our things are not valuable, they are worth ten dollars."

"That's right, the three stewards, you can't just ignore this matter."

"You have to compensate us."

"..."

It seems that these neighbors are quite united in this matter.

"Yi Bufan, can you tell me what's going on?"

"That day, when the leaders of the subdistrict office were here, you did agree that we could temporarily put them here."

"It's not appropriate to throw things away now!"

After seeing the situation in front of him, Yi Zhonghai was also confused. Yi Bufan didn't seem like the kind of person who would do that.

"No, wait everyone, I'm a little confused!"

Yi Bufan scratched his head and looked around in confusion.

This expression left the neighbors confused. Why did the look and expression look so innocent?

It was as if Yi Bufan didn’t know what happened here?

"Didn't you move these things away by yourselves?"

Yi Bufan asked with a stupid expression on his face.

"Nonsense, if we were going to move away, why would we leave it here with you?"

Jia Dongxu was not polite at all.

"Jia Dongxu, you're exposed now. I told you that you didn't plan to move away originally, but you wanted to trick Comrade Yi Bufan."

Xu Damao naturally would not miss the opportunity to reveal the truth.

"Stop talking nonsense. Now is not the time to talk about this. The thing has been thrown away by Yi Bufan!"

Jia Dongxu didn't feel embarrassed at all, because he was not the only one who had this idea.

"But when I left in the morning, I went with Brother Dongxu and Brother Zhuzi, and we went to the factory together."

"It seems that he even greeted other neighbors in the morning. Everyone knows about it."

"When I came back, it wasn't as early as yours."

"Besides, if I were to throw these things away, I would have to move them out and throw them away too."

"Think about it, everyone. How could I move so many things out of this yard without anyone noticing?"

"Besides, there are so many things. How can I move them all in just one morning? I may not even finish them in a week."

"I just came back and saw that everything was gone. I thought everyone had moved away on their own, so I went to have a meeting with an old man to thank everyone."

Yi Bufan told the story with an innocent look on his face, and the expression on his face told everyone that he really didn't know.

"Comrade Yi Bufan is right. If he were to clear out this yard by himself, it would probably take him a month."

"Did anyone see anyone coming in to move things, or did Yi Bufan move something out?"

After listening to Yi Bufan's words, Yi Zhonghai could basically rule out the possibility that Yi Bufan moved out and threw it away.

Everyone in the yard shook their heads to indicate they hadn't seen it.

"At home, definitely at home!"

Jia Zhang also basically agreed with Yi Bufan's words. After looking around, she found only one possibility: they moved into the house.

Without Jia Dongxu's support, he limped towards the house.

The second aunt and the third aunt also ran over.

"The door is locked. There must be something fishy going on!"

"Who locked the door in our yard?"

Jia Zhang lifted the door curtain, saw the padlock and yelled at everyone.

"I'm sorry, I'm used to living in the Great Northern Wilderness. I'm afraid that there will be wolves, tigers and leopards running into my house, so I always lock the door when I go out."

"Wife, go open the door."

Yi Bufan was even wondering why Xu Xiaoran lowered his head again.

"Ok!"

Xu Xiaoran responded and went over to open the door.

"In fact, there is no doubt that there are so many things in this yard, how can our house hold them all?"

Yi Bufan gave a casual explanation, and most people agreed with it.

"These people won't cry until they see the coffin, so let them watch."

Although Xu Damao didn't know where the things in Yi Bufan's yard had gone, he was happy to see so many people being humiliated.

"Humph, we can't just assume whatever you say is true. We have to see for ourselves."

Jia Zhang rushed in as Xu Xiaoran just opened the door.

Her idea was simple: since she had lost something, she had to use something else to pay off the debt.

The second and third aunts also followed in.

Xu Xiaoran wanted to stop it, but seeing so many people around, she gave up.

I don't want to expose myself yet.

"Why is there nothing here?"

Jia Zhang looked around but didn't find anything she liked. After opening the cupboard and picking up the flour bag, she found that there was probably only two taels of corn flour.

There was also a small bundle of noodles, maybe just two bowls.

The only dish was half a cabbage, nothing else.

"This young couple is living a really good life..."

Before the second aunt could finish her words, the third aunt stopped her with a cough.

"These things are lost, we have to make him pay for it."

The three aunts said in a low voice.

"Yes, compensate! You must compensate!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she thought it was exactly what she wanted.

"Three ladies, there is no one in the house."

Yi Bufan still had that innocent expression that was unique to the disadvantaged groups.

"There's nothing in the house, but our things were lost in your yard, so you have to pay for it!"

Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips, this matter is not over yet.

"Yes, these things were all fine before you came. They were lost after you moved in."

"You have to be responsible!"

The third aunt also said that these things had wasted the couple's year-long frugality.
