Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

By limiting the view to the front yard, the identity of the murderer easily emerges.

All the kids in the yard were craving for meat, but if we were to say who was really craving it enough to take the risk of stealing from their neighbors, it would definitely be Yan Jiecheng and the others.

Due to debt, the Yan family lived a very hard life. Yan Jiecheng and his family had not tasted meat for several months.

It's normal to do something excessive when you are greedy.

"You...what are you looking at me for?

Am I wrong? "

Under the watchful eyes of all the neighbors in the courtyard, Yan Bugui felt the pressure suddenly increasing, and at the same time, a deep feeling of regret welled up in his heart.

He shouldn't have been optimistic from the beginning.

The loophole left by Yan Jiecheng and his men was too big to be covered up at all.

Now that the matter has become a big deal and known to everyone, Yan Bugui is in a difficult situation and cannot back down. He cannot even seek reconciliation with Li Chengshi in private.

If this continues, Yan Bugui’s reputation will be ruined once the bacon stored at home is found.

The neighbors didn't say anything, but just continued to stare at Yan Bugui silently. The yard fell into an eerie silence, with only the howling of the cold wind.

After a moment, Yi Zhonghai let out a long sigh, looked at Li Chengshi, and asked, "Li Chengshi, when did your bacon get lost?"

Yi Zhonghai had already guessed who the murderer was, but due to the other party's identity, he couldn't say it out loud himself, so he changed the subject and wanted to put the matter behind him for the time being.

I'll try to figure out a proper solution later.

“It should have been lost between yesterday evening and this evening.

I check the cupboards every day and I can’t go wrong.”

Li Chengshi provided another useful information.

This news undoubtedly further confirmed the suspicion of Yan Jiecheng and others.

During the meeting yesterday, no one paid attention to whether Yan Jiecheng and others were present.

But since the Yan family fell into debt last autumn, Yan Jiecheng and his four children have never appeared at the whole hospital meeting.

In their free time, they stay at home to save energy and don't go out to get exposed to the wind and cold, which would increase their consumption.

"Uncle, let's stop talking nonsense.

Wouldn't it be clear if we just ask the children of Yan Bugui?"

Before finding solid evidence, the neighbors were unwilling to stand up and offend Yan Bugui, but Xu Damao had no such concerns.

Xu Damao didn't get along with any of the three managers and was often targeted.

He is not afraid of itching because he has too many lice, and he doesn't care even if he offends Yan Bugui to death.

"Xu Damao, what do you mean?!"

Truth cannot be hidden, and when the truth was revealed and the relationship became tense, Yan Bugui could only force himself to stand up and try to use his authority as the manager to suppress Xu Damao, and at the same time intimidate those who had ulterior motives and stop them from doing anything rash.

"Didn't the first and second uncles both say that the child in the front yard was the most suspicious?

I just want them to come out and clarify to avoid being misunderstood.

This is for their own good.

"Uncle, I didn't say that Yan Jiecheng and his gang stole the bacon, why are you so excited?"

Xu Damao turned his face to the side and showed a sly smile.

Yan Bugui was too anxious. His jumping out only confirmed his guilty conscience and showed that he had something to hide.

"You...Xu Damao, you are so old but you still don't have a proper job. You just idle around all day long and do nothing.

All the neighbors in the yard know that you are not a good person.

I think you are the most suspicious! "

At this time, Yan Bugui, who was held up, must not show cowardice, but must act more assertive, act as if he is ready to fight to the death, and intimidate everyone.

If you become stage frightened and expose your inner weakness, you will be inviting disaster.

"I'm not a good person, but I'm decent and not stupid enough to steal from my neighbors.

But you, Third Uncle, are a role model for others and seem to be upright and honest, but you have done a lot of immoral things in private.

When there were vacant houses at the auction house last year, if you hadn't been so smart and wanted to cause trouble for the second uncle and made a malicious bid, how would you have gotten yourself into this trouble?

In the end, not only did I not get the house, I also lost several hundred dollars. It’s really amazing that I lost so much money.”

Xu Damao is a real villain. He actually dared to expose Yan Bugui's scars in front of everyone.

The conversation was so insulting that not only did Yan Bugui almost faint from anger, but Liu Haizhong also looked unhappy.

That was a matter between Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, and it was not Xu Damao's turn to comment.

Seeing that the argument between the two was getting more and more intense and gradually turned into personal attacks, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong looked at each other, confirmed their intentions, and then stood up again to maintain order.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing.

Today we are talking about Li Chengshi's affairs, why bother talking about those irrelevant things?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Li Chengshi and said, "Li Chengshi, if something like this happens in the hospital, the three of us will definitely find a way to help you get your things back. Do you have anything else to say?"

Whether things can be smoothly implemented does not depend on Yan Bugui or Xu Damao. The most important thing is Li Chengshi's opinion.

If Li Chengshi refuses to let go and is determined to make a big deal out of it, Yi Zhonghai will not be able to protect Yan Bugui.

If you're willing to give in, there's still room for maneuver.

"We three are the masters in charge" is Yi Zhonghai's reminder to Li Chengshi, and also a reminder to Liu Haizhong.

Although there are conflicts among the three managers in the hospital, their core interests are the same.

When faced with such a situation, Yi Zhonghai naturally stood on the side of Yan Bugui, trying his best to maintain the prestige of the manager.

"I have nothing to say, I'll just listen to you.

I believe the three stewards will be able to help me get my bacon back."

After Li Chengshi finished speaking, he did not forget to glance at Yan Bugui, who had a pale face.

Li Chengshi didn't know that Yan Bugui's family still had a large piece of bacon. He felt that if he continued to investigate, as long as Yan Bugui refused to give in, and the two managers took sides, he would not be sure of winning.

It would be better to give Yi Zhonghai some face and choose to settle the matter privately.

With the financial resources of the three managers, just two kilograms of bacon is definitely not a problem.

"Ah."

Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction and said to the people in the cold wind: "It's getting late and it's cold outside. Let's all go."

"Hey, uncle, why are you disbanding before the murderer is caught?"

Xu Damao didn't want to let Yan Bugui off easily, so he jumped out to cause trouble again.

But this time the three managers didn't indulge him. Liu Haizhong stepped forward and scolded him coldly, "Xu Damao, are you itching for trouble? Li Chengshi doesn't mind, so why are you making a fuss?

If you dare to sow discord and destroy the relationship between neighbors again, don't blame me for punishing you."

Faced with the sandbag-sized fist in his bangs, Xu Damao instantly wilted and dared not continue making a noise.

The neighbors understood what was going on, but no one wanted to offend the three managers, so they soon dispersed.

When most of the people had left, Yan Bugui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the air was released, Yan Bugui's already weak body could no longer support himself, and his legs went limp and he was about to collapse to the ground.

Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong acted in time, supporting Yan Bugui on the left and right, preventing him from falling.

"Lao Yi, Lao Liu, thank you so much this time."
