"Go and call Second Master and Third Master over. I'll let them know first. We have to be consistent at the meeting.”
An old man instructed an auntie. Although the auntie was a little unwilling, she did not want to compete with Yi Zhonghai.
"How troublesome. I think we should just call the police. With so many things missing, even if someone in the courtyard stole it, would he admit it?”
"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly. I have my own considerations!”
Yi Zhonghai was not stupid. Not many people knew that he had placed these things in his house. Only the neighbors in the yard knew a little. How could outsiders target his house?
Even if the thieves from outside came, they couldn't have picked their family to steal. There must be something fishy about this.
He was 80% sure that someone in the courtyard had stolen it, but he couldn't suspect anyone without evidence.
A middle-aged woman invited Second Uncle and Third Uncle over. Liu Haizhong asked immediately.
"What's wrong, Old Yi? Why do you look so ugly?”
"Our house was robbed. We lost hundreds of yuan worth of things!”
When Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were shocked.
"What? A few hundred yuan?"
"Old Yi, you're really rich. No wonder everyone in the quad says that your family is leading the best life. It's really different between those who have burdens and those who don't.”
Liu Haizhong had three children to raise at home. Although his monthly salary was 70 yuan, it was not enough to support many children. Compared to Yi Zhonghai, his life was much worse.
When he heard that Yi Zhonghai had lost a few hundred yuan worth of things, he was envious. He could not have lost so many things even if he wanted to.
"Why are you saying this at a time like this?”
"I've helped the people in our courtyard a lot!”
Yi Zhonghai's words made Liu Haizhong a little resentful. After all, he had no way to refute this.
"When did you lose it? Did you call the police?”
Yan Fugui spoke up, and it was considered to be a round of bangs.
Yi Zhonghai shook his head.
"I didn't call the police. I lost it this afternoon. I was at the factory in the afternoon. An auntie went to the market.”
"I thought that it should be done by someone I knew, so I didn't call the police in a hurry. I'll inform you first and hold a meeting of the whole academy. When the time comes, I'll ask who did it.”
"If we can get the things back, we can forget about this matter. It's all neighbors. There's no need to make things so tense!”
Yan Fugui shook his head and said,"
"Old Yi, I don't want to criticize you, but do you think someone will steal something that costs a few hundred yuan and take it back?”
"But the thing is yours, so you have the final say. Hurry up and have a meeting. If you're late, I'm afraid that people will give it to you. At that time, you won't be able to take it back even if you want to.”
Yi Zhonghai nodded.
"Alright, it's settled then. The three of us will suppress this matter. It's best if we can settle it in the courtyard. This way, we won't lose face with the people in the courtyard.”
"If no one stands up, then don't blame me. It's time to call the police.”
The three of them discussed for a moment and informed the people in the courtyard to convene a full-court meeting.
Jia Zhangshi's family was filled with resentment. Qin Huairu had just returned from work and hadn't even had the time to cook yet, yet they had already called for a meeting.
"I don't know what's the hurry. Can't you wait for someone to eat a hot meal?”
Even though she was complaining, Jia Zhangshi still followed Qin Huairu to the empty space in the courtyard and sat down.
There were already many people in the courtyard, and everyone was discussing with puzzled expressions. The three old men sat opposite them with serious expressions. It seemed that they would only speak when everyone was present.
"What's going on? Why is there a full-court meeting again?”
"Who knows? I just got off work and haven't figured it out yet.”
"I heard that an old man's house was robbed and his things were stolen, so he called everyone to a meeting.”
"What is it? That's impossible. If they didn't call the police when they were robbed, why did they gather us?”
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, most of the people had already arrived. Liu Haizhong immediately spoke.
"Today, I had a meeting with everyone.”
"Old Yi's house was robbed. Everything worth a few hundred yuan was stolen. I discussed it with First Uncle and the others. I reckon that it should be done by an acquaintance.”
"It's not a small matter that a thief has appeared in our courtyard. If this affects the matter of this year's advanced award, it will ruin the big deal.”
"Therefore, we thought about it. If anyone in our courtyard has dirty hands, they should quickly step forward and return the things to Old Yi. We won't pursue the matter. If they don't return them, we can only report them to the public security.”
As soon as Liu Haizhong finished speaking, the people in the courtyard house immediately became excited.
They originally wanted to watch the show, but who knew that such a big thing would happen? They didn't even dare to think about something that cost a few hundred yuan.
"Damn, who is this? He's so bold to steal something that's only a few hundred yuan. If he's caught, I'm afraid he'll be shot.”
"I was wondering why the three of you looked so unsightly today. It turns out that there was a thief in the courtyard. Who did it? Hurry up and stand out, or you'll be shot!”
"That's right. I've never seen someone so bold. I really can't believe it. Who's so shameless to steal from an old man's house?”
However, no matter how lively everyone was, no one stood up.
Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu still did not know about the joke, so they were cursing more fiercely than anyone else.
"If you ask me, this thief should have no descendants. He was killed by something when he went out. How shameless!”
Jia Zhang-shi was cursing the thief, but in her heart, she was also cursing Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai, you're so good. You usually just give us some noodles. I didn't expect you to have so many good things hidden in your house. You deserve to be stolen.
Jia Zhang-shi naturally wouldn't say what was in her heart. Otherwise, wouldn't she become a classic example of ingratitude?
She was the one who cursed the most fiercely.
"Alright, stop arguing. Whoever did it, quickly come forward. I won't hold it against you if you return the things. Otherwise, I'll call the police.”
Yi Zhonghai was also furious. He slammed the table and stood up, sweeping his gaze around.
However, no one stood up.
"Old Yi, call the police. Since no one admitted it, I think we should just call the police.”
Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and decided not to call the police.
"Maybe you don't dare to stand up now, but you have to return the things to our family tonight. No matter who it is, as long as you return the things, I won't hold it against you anymore.”
"If I still don't see anything tomorrow morning, don't blame me for not taking care of the people in our courtyard when the police come!”
Yi Zhonghai looked around again and then angrily announced the end of the meeting.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Originally, they had some doubts about the Jia family, but seeing Jia Zhang-shi curse so fiercely, wanting to dig out the eighteen generations of the thief's ancestors, they also dispelled their doubts.
