Siheyuan: Don’t say I can’t do it

The interrogator looked into Chen Luo's eyes and felt that he did not seem to be lying.

"You can carry a hundred kilograms of rice and jog all the way. You are so thin. It's hard to explain if you say you haven't received any special training, right?"

This question also did not stump Chen Luo, because he had already thought of an excuse.

"Some time ago, I had health problems. I felt that no matter how much I ate, I could never feel full. I had to eat more than 30 steamed buns for each meal to feel half full. But my family only gave me two steamed buns for each meal. I felt like I was starving to death, so I decided to separate from my parents and live on my own. After the separation, no one cared about me, so I could eat more. It was then that I realized that my strength was also increasing rapidly. The more I ate, the stronger I became..."

When they heard Chen Luo say that he had to eat more than thirty steamed buns to feel half full, the four of them found it unbelievable.

Because if that were true, Chen Luo would have to consume the ration of thirty people just to eat his fill, which was too scary.

But after watching Chen Luo eat up sixty steamed buns like whirlwind, they had no choice but to believe it and wrote this situation as another key point in the investigation report.

"You can find the most profitable odd jobs every day, covering five districts: Dongcheng District, Chongwen District, Xuanwu District, Xicheng District, and Haidian District. How do you do it?"

Chen Luo had thought about this problem a long time ago, but he couldn't think of a suitable excuse.

If it is said that it was introduced by someone else, it will not stand up to investigation.

So Chen Luo could only say it was a coincidence and there was no way to explain it.

He answered in this way without making up any excuses, so the four people found it credible.

Finally, they mentioned Chen Luo's tax issue.

When Chen Luo heard that they were going to collect nearly half of the tax, he immediately became anxious, "How about I hand over all the money I earn without asking for a penny, and the government just needs to make sure I have enough food?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you just wait until we finish talking?"

"Your situation is a special case. The country can give you tax exemption, but when the country needs you..."

"No problem! Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of a country. As long as the country needs me, I will work hard to contribute."

"..."

It was not until Chen Luo left here that he realized they were from the Special Population Investigation Department.

But they didn't mention who reported him, and Chen Luo didn't dare to ask as he didn't want to cause trouble.

After this incident, Chen Luo felt that he must be more low-key in the future to avoid causing more trouble.

Chen Luo returned to his home in Yard 95 and went to bed.

It was almost eleven o'clock the next morning and Chen Luo was still lying in bed.

Because according to the arrangement of odd jobs, he would have to wait until after 2:00 p.m., so he would still have time to translate the technical materials.

Just then, he heard someone talking outside.

It was the voice of the third aunt and Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang is back again! Chen Luo thought that there would be a lot more trouble in this courtyard.

Sure enough, less than half an hour had passed when faint sounds of quarreling could be heard.

Chen Luo quickly got up, washed, and put on his clothes, then walked through the middle courtyard to the back yard. He wanted to see what Jia Zhang was doing.

As soon as he entered the backyard, he saw the three aunts there, and the deaf old lady was chasing and beating Jia Zhang.

The deaf old lady walked quite fast despite her small feet. She swung the cane in her hand and hit Jia Zhang so hard that he ran away screaming in pain.

"I'll let you keep talking nonsense!"

After listening for a while, Chen Luo understood.

When Jia Zhang came back, she scolded everyone in the courtyard and asked Qin Huairu to go out and borrow money to buy meat for her.

As a result, she spoke too loudly, and the deaf old lady became angry when she heard Jia Zhang cursing her to die quickly and wanting to occupy her house.

The deaf old lady came out with a cane and scolded Jia Zhang. Jia Zhi probably became braver after living in the countryside for some time, and she actually dared to talk back.

Now the deaf old lady couldn't help it.

Seeing that the three aunts had arrived, the deaf old lady guessed that Jia Zhang would not dare to resist, so she directly used her crutch.

Qin Zhunru was secretly delighted, but still pretended to persuade him.

But she didn't expect that Jia Zhang would slap her in the face when she passed by.

Qin Huairu covered her little face with her hands and tears burst out.

But the laundry basin she had just put on the ground caused Jia Zhang to trip and fall, and her hands were scratched.

When the deaf old lady saw Jia Zhang fall to the ground, she did not show any mercy and continued to hit her hard with her crutch.

"You shameless vixen, you want to kill me! Old Jia, there are no good people in this courtyard, take them all away quickly..."

Jia Zhang's necromancy is here again. If it can't kill people, it can at least make them sick to death.

This time, the deaf old lady didn't hit her body, but directly hit her head.

"You damned bitch, I'll make you die!"

Bang bang bang bang!

The hit on the head was so painful that Jia Zhang didn't even bother to call out to the soul. She quickly got up from the ground and ran back to the house.

Qin Huairu also picked up the wash basin that Jia Zhang had kicked over, and put the dirty wet clothes on the ground back into the basin.

"Qin Huairu! Do you want to starve me to death, you vixen? What time is it now? Why don't you come back to cook for me!" It was Jia Zhang's voice again.

"I'm sorry, old lady. My mother-in-law didn't mean what she said. I'm here to apologize to you. Please bear with me!"

The deaf old lady snorted coldly, didn't say anything, and went straight back to her room.

The three aunts followed in.

Chen Luo came to the middle courtyard and noticed that He Yushui's door was ajar.

I haven't seen her for several days and I really want to see her.

So Chen Luo walked to He Yushui's door and called out, "Are you home, Yushui?"

No one in the room answered.

Chen Luo had amazing hearing, but he heard a subtle sound in the house, as if someone was walking on tiptoe.

"Could it be that we have attracted thieves?" Chen Luo frowned slightly and whispered to himself.

He walked to the door quietly, knocked gently, and shouted, "Rainwater, are you home? I want to discuss something with you."

However, there was silence in the room, and no response.

Chen Luo's heartbeat quickened slightly. He slowly pushed open the door and at first glance, the room seemed empty, but the room had obviously been rummaged through and looked a little messy.

There is not much space in the room, and the only place to hide is under the bed.

Chen Luo slowly squatted down and looked under the bed, and indeed found someone hiding inside.

The man's head was tucked in the innermost part and his face could not be seen clearly, but judging from his body shape and clothes, Chen Luo guessed that it should be Banggeng.

Chen Luo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, secretly thanking himself for arriving in time.

Chen Luo thought that if he pulled out the culprit now, it would actually be a help to him.

The most despicable way is to guard the door and not let him leave, waiting for everyone to go home after get off work and catch him on the spot. In this way, his guilt will be confirmed.

But he knew he didn't have that much time because he had to go translate technical materials after two o'clock.
