What termites? What was Qin Huairu talking about?
Everyone was baffled and had no idea what had happened.
The two policemen looked at each other and quickly walked forward to ask more questions.
However, Qin Huairu seemed to have gone mad. She was so agitated that her face turned pale and she could not express her emotions normally.
The two police officers were helpless and planned to go directly to the Jia family's house to investigate the situation.
However, before she could take two steps, another person staggered out from the other side. It was Yi Zhonghai, who had entered the middle court right after Qin Huiru.
Yi Zhonghai's face was gloomy, and his eyes were red. When he came out and saw a middle-aged woman, he was about to open his mouth to speak when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backward.
"Old Yi!"
A middle-aged woman was shocked and immediately rushed forward to catch Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai looked at the auntie and laughed bitterly." Our family's pension is gone. It's thousands of dollars. We've saved it for most of our lives. It's all gone. It's all eaten by termites!"”
As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai let out another painful cry and closed his eyes with a waning expression.
Earlier, Qin Huairu's words were all jumbled up, so no one understood what she was saying. However, they heard what First Master said clearly.
But it was because they heard it clearly that everyone was shocked.
First Uncle was saying that his family's savings of a few thousand yuan had been eaten by termites. Was that what he meant?
The two police officers on the other side had doubts in their hearts.
The main thing was that just as they were about to pay compensation, termites had attacked them. This was too much of a coincidence!
Could it be that Qin Huiru was unwilling to pay the compensation, so she had joined hands with Yi Zhonghai to play a double act and found such an excuse to stall him?
There were many other residents of the Siheyuan who had the same suspicions as the two police officers.
Everyone was secretly complaining in their hearts. If the two of you want to find an excuse, you can do so, but at least find a decent one, right? What kind of reason was being eaten by termites? It was too ridiculous!
The two police officers immediately rushed into the middle court to find out what was going on. The others immediately followed.
And then, there was nothing else.
Everyone collectively lost their voices when they saw the scene of the Jia and Yi families. Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.
Damn it! It was really termites!
A huge termite nest had actually appeared under the house of the Yi and Jia families!
Seeing the dense swarm of insects, everyone felt their scalps go numb. For a moment, they held their breaths, and they were so stifled that they could not breathe.
This termite was also strange. Why did it choose the place where the Yi family and the Jia family stored their money?
At this moment, everyone could still vaguely see a pile of paper scraps scattered among the termites, but they were basically in powder form. It was impossible to pick them up and put them together again.
When Jia Zhang-shi found out that all of Qin Huairu's private stash had been eaten by termites, she was about to scold Qin Huairu. However, just as she was about to open her mouth, a thought flashed through her mind. Her expression suddenly changed, and her plump figure ran frantically into her house like a gust of wind.
As soon as she rushed into the house, she moved the bed she was sleeping on. After pulling open a loose tile, she took out a wooden box from inside.
Seeing that the surface of the wooden box was still intact, Jia Zhangshi's heart relaxed and she revealed a smile.
However, when she opened the box, her entire body stiffened. Her entire face was pale with fear, and she threw the entire box out as if she had been electrocuted.
The bottom of the box had been hollowed out by the termites, and the contents of the box had been gnawed away, leaving only a pile of paper scraps.
Jia Zhangshi collapsed in an instant.
This was the retirement money she had saved up for seven to eight years. It was a few hundred yuan, and it was ruined by termites just like that!
"How could this be? Old Jia, quickly open your eyes and take a good look. What kind of evil has bewitched our family? My retirement money is all gone. How am I going to live in the future?”
Jia Zhang-shi was wailing like a ghost and howling like a wolf. That sound was simply making the listener sad and cry.
The residents outside were originally just watching the fun, but now that they heard that even Jia Zhangshi's pension money had been affected, everyone could not help but shudder.
Without anyone reminding them, everyone ran back to their homes anxiously.
The termites could cause such great damage in the middle courtyard, so it was not necessarily that they did not visit the front courtyard and backyard. They had to not let them find out that termites were in their own houses. If there were really termites, then this huge courtyard would probably be eaten up by termites. How could there be people living there?
For a moment, the courtyard was noisy. No one cared about the matter of the Jia family framing him.
In a short while, the courtyard house was filled with voices, some happy, some sad.
In the front yard, Shazhu and Third Master's family were not spared. In the backyard, Xu Damao, the Deaf Old Lady, and Liu Haizhong's family were also affected.
The originally normal search for undergarments had now turned into a tragic competition to see whose losses were more tragic!
The two police officers were also speechless.
They couldn't help but look at Ye Dongfang." Comrade Ye, based on the current situation, I'm afraid the Jia family won't be able to pay you compensation for a while. You see-"
Ye Dongfang immediately expressed his stance."
"If you don't pay, then you can be sentenced as you wish. Anyway, I only have one request. I can't be bullied for nothing!”
The two police officers nodded, indicating that they understood.
Therefore, regardless of how heart-wrenching Jia Zhangshi's cries were and how agitated Qin Huiru was, the two of them had to be taken back to the police station for further investigation.
