Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

The person who stole the elbow is so vicious, this is definitely not just a simple thief!"

I was confused by Ye Chuan's argument, but I thought that two dollars was indeed worth a lot. "What do you think we should do? Even if it was stolen, it's gone now, where can we find it?" Ye Chuan sighed and stood up, ready to leave. "Since the old man has no time to take care of this, I can only report it to the police and ask everyone to come and search.

After all, two dollars is not a small amount of money, and it cannot be taken away for nothing!"

"Wait, it's not that I don't care!" Yi Zhonghai was annoyed. He didn't want the incident to get too big, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

In fact, he already had a vague idea of ​​who had done it, and the Jia family would not miss this opportunity to show off their status.

He secretly thought about how to calm this situation. After all, Jia Dongxu and he had a close relationship, and Qin Huairu was an important figure at the moment.

More importantly, deep down in his heart, he has special feelings for Qin Huairu.

So, with a sigh, he pulled Ye Chuan towards Ma Xieyanzi's house in the backyard.

Ma Xieyanzi was chatting with Liu Haizhong in the yard. When he saw the uncle coming, he stood up to greet him. "Old Ma, has Xiaobao gone to bed?" Yi Zhonghai asked in a friendly manner. "No, what does Uncle want to tell Xiaobao?" Ma Xieyanzi was surprised. His third child was only seven years old. What could Yi Zhonghai want to tell him? "It's a small matter. Call him over!" Yi Hai was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't say it clearly. "Uncle, this matter is not that simple!" Ye Chuan interrupted. "Got it!" Yi Zhonghai was annoyed. This child was restless!

Ma called Xiaobao out with squinted eyes.

Before she could say anything, Ye Chuan had already squatted down and whispered: "Xiaobao, who told you to come to me tonight and say that someone is looking for you? Tell the truth to big brother, and I will give you forty lollipops to try!" After that, he took out a candy from his trouser pocket like a magic trick. The thing that was originally given to Tong Yao to entertain herself came in handy at this moment.

Ma Xiaobao sniffed his nose, stared at the candy in Ye Chuan's hand, and drooled. "Bang Geng asked me to tell him. He said someone was looking for my aunt at the entrance of the alley, and he also said that he would let me play with the iron ring for a day tomorrow." He replied.

Yi Zhonghai immediately realized that he was right. This must have been done by the Jia family. Ma Xieyanzi heard that his youngest son might have gotten into trouble, and was about to teach him a lesson, but Ye Chuan immediately pulled him away. "Uncle Ma, this has nothing to do with Xiaobao, why did you hit him?"

Seeing this, Ma Xieyan had to suppress his anger temporarily and threatened his younger son fiercely: "If you cause trouble again next time, I will beat you up!" Ye Chuan smiled and rubbed Ma Xiaobao's head and stuffed a candy into his hand.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face was twisted. The boy addressed him very rudely and only dared to call him by his name. He squinted at Ma and respectfully called him "you".

It was really too arrogant! Through Ma Xiaobao's words, they had confirmed that the thief was undoubtedly "Bang Geng".

Ye Chuan straightened his back and asked Yi Zhonghai, "Master Yi, how do you think we should handle this?" He thought to himself: It's too late to ask me to handle it now.

Although he had not intended to ask about it, he felt that this matter could not be ignored. That kid was too naughty. If such a small matter caused a big incident, the whole courtyard would be in turmoil. "Let's go to the Jia family."

The two returned to the middle courtyard and arrived at the door of Jia's house. "Is sister-in-law home?" Yi Zhonghai called out from the door.

When they saw Yi Zhonghai and Ye Chuan coming, Jia Zhang and the others felt that something was wrong, but Qin Huairu was the only one who didn't know what was going on. "What's the matter?" Jia Zhang seemed quite alert.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Call Banggeng out, I have something to ask him." "Why ask my Banggeng? He is busy studying at home now." Jia Zhang's tone suddenly became stern, and she seemed determined not to cooperate.

Their suspicion was obvious, but they didn't ask. Jia Zhang was as sensitive as a cat whose tail was stepped on and overreacted.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai had become more certain of his thoughts that the Ye family's elbow must have been stolen by Bang Geng.

However, he wanted to confirm whether it was his usual fault or whether it was instigated by Jia Zhang.

In Yi Zhonghai's opinion, Banggeng is a kind child and would not do such a thing.

At this time, Qin Huairu came out: "Uncle, what did Banggeng do wrong that you are asked to find him?" After hearing about the Ye family and looking at Jia Zhang beside her, Qin Huairu realized that they might not have eaten well at night - they were hiding something.

Jia Zhang retorted loudly: "What does it have to do with us if the elbow is thrown into someone else's home? Do you believe it just because of what a child said?" At this time, Yan Bugui's ears were attracted.

When he came to the middle courtyard and saw Ye Chuan and Yi Zhonghai, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, uncle?"

So Yi Zhonghai briefly repeated it again, which made Yan Bugui also wonder whether it was Bang Geng or Jia Zhang who did it.

The other people in the yard didn't seem to have such suspicions. "Call Bang Geng out and ask him and everything will be clear." Yan Bugui insisted.

Jia Zhang still refused to cooperate, and shouted nonchalantly: "Anan, what does it have to do with you? The more you help, the more trouble you make." She looked unwilling to pay attention. "We are all uncles in charge of the courtyard. Of course, I have the right to intervene in such matters!" Yan Bugui straightened his glasses and said angrily.

Continuing to apply pressure, Yi Zhonghai said: "Sister-in-law, please bring Banggeng out to inquire about the situation. We will leave immediately after the inquiry." Ye Chuan glanced and saw that Yi Zhonghai's words clearly hinted that as long as Banggeng admitted that it was not him, he would not pursue the matter any further!

Realizing that the stalemate was not going to work, Qin Huairu planned to go back and bring Banggeng out: "I'll go and bring Banggeng!" Hearing this, she felt a little unhappy in her heart. This group of people ate big chunks of meat without leaving any portion for her.

Jia Dongxu frowned and tried to stop him: "You can't take Banggeng away." In his mind, he thought it was just a small matter and there was no need to make such a big deal about it.

Qin Huairu was upset and thought to herself: Is your brain broken? You can't even figure out such a simple question?

"You're going to let him hide at home for the rest of his life?!" After a moment of silence, Jia Dongxu looked out the window.

I saw Banggeng had already walked out the door with Qin Huairu, followed by Xiaodang.

Yi Zhonghai patted Banggeng's head and asked gently, "Banggeng, have you ever taken the pig's trotters from the Ye family?"

"No!" Bang Geng answered without hesitation.

Yi Zhonghai turned to Ye Chuan and said with a smile: "Look, Bang Geng said there is no such thing. Let's go back first. We need to investigate this matter bit by bit."

Ye Chuan thought, do you think you can fool a child? Such a perfunctory attitude is not good!

"Since there is no result, I have no choice but to call the police!"

Ye Chuan shrugged and prepared to leave the yard.

Yi Zhonghai coughed. Is this guy crazy? He can call the police without thinking!

At this time, some people had gathered in front of the Jia family's door. They all saw Yi Zhonghai's previous understatement and felt a little dissatisfied in their hearts.

Although a two-dollar pig's trotter is not a big problem, it is never good to lose something.

At this time, Ye Chuan's face darkened: "Uncle, the neighbors are watching, are you going to deal with it like this? Maybe in your eyes, the pig's trotter is a trivial matter, but I can't just sit there and watch! If a thief comes into the yard, who will dare to leave valuables casually in the future? If a pig's trotter is lost today, it may be replaced by a radio or a bicycle tomorrow!"

His words triggered waves of agreement. "That's right! Should we lock the door next time we go out?"

"We must find the thief!"

Faced with this situation, Yi Zhonghai groaned inwardly. He had never thought that Ye Chuan was so capable that he could unite everyone with just two sentences. "Well, this is everyone's business in the courtyard. As the old man in charge, I have no choice but to take responsibility for this matter.

How much is your pig's trotter? I'll compensate you!"

He calculated in his mind, it was only two dollars, and by spending this two dollars, he could preserve the reputation of this five-good courtyard house. More importantly, he could help Qin Huairu, and she would definitely be grateful, and maybe even get a pleasant surprise!

However, Ye Chuan did not give up: "Uncle, how can paying two dollars as compensation be considered a solution? Although the matter is small, it is a big deal if there is a thief in the yard! Do you think I am right?"

"Yes, Ye Chuan is right, the thief must be caught!"

"That won't do. What will happen if there's a thief in the yard?"

"I never had to lock my door before, but now it looks like I have to install a lock!"

Everyone was talking and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly heated, but at this time, Yi Zhonghai's face had gradually turned gloomy.

While everyone was arguing, Ye Chuan suddenly asked, "Xiao Dang, is the pig's trotter made by your brother delicious?"

Without hesitation, Xiao Dang said in a baby voice: "The meat at my brother's house is delicious and fragrant!"

As soon as the words fell, the noise of the crowd instantly quieted down, and the whole yard was silent.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were stunned. Ye Chuan's way of solving the puzzle was really unbelievable.

Qin Huairu glared at Bang Geng shyly, her face flushed.

Jia Zhang was a little shocked and immediately said, "Don't believe Xiaodang's nonsense. We bought our pig's trotters ourselves!"

But everyone heard these words clearly. The little boy was referring to his own meat. A three-year-old child does not know how to lie.

Ye Yongshun and Liu Yue were in the crowd, and they had already prepared themselves mentally for the possibility that they would not be able to find the thief.

The son's move actually made the other party confess without even being asked.

Ye Chuan said sarcastically: "Your pig's trotters? Can your family afford to buy pig's trotters? You can't even give up two taels of meat, and you dare to buy a four-jin piece? What are you thinking?"

Jia Zhang's face turned red as she argued, "What are you talking about? What's wrong with us buying one or two ounces occasionally?"

At this time, Yan Bugui gently adjusted his glasses that had slipped down his nose. The temples were tied with a cloth because they were broken, so he had to adjust them frequently to keep them stable. "Ms. Jia Zhang, since you said you bought them yourself, which cooperative did you buy them from? How much did you spend? Do you have a receipt?" Jia Zhang was speechless for a moment. It was not so easy to make up this story. Once verified, the flaw would be immediately exposed. "Well, well..."
