After driving away Silly Zhu, Lin Dongfang turned around and returned to Zhao Jinmai's side, giving him instructions.
"Sister, remember that idiot. If he comes again, you must ignore him.”
"I'm afraid that staying with him will affect your intelligence.”
Zhao Jinmai was only eighteen years old this year. Although she was old, she had a baby face and looked like she was fourteen or fifteen years old.
Lin Dongfang was really worried that he had been deceived by Silly Zhu.
"Brother, don't worry. I can tell that he's not a good person.”
Zhao Jinmai quickly promised.
Zhao Jinmai had never given him a good look since he entered.
Zhao Jinmai knew what to do without Lin Dongfang's instructions.
"By the way, Brother, how are you getting along with Sister Li? When will she become my sister-in-law?”
"Why are you so concerned about this?" Lin Dongfang was slightly stunned.”
Zhao Jinmai tilted her head and smiled.""Well, you're my brother, so I have to care about your life.”
"I like Sister Li. Can you let her be my sister-in-law?”
Lin Dongfang gently brushed her nose and smiled.""You're still young and don't understand these things. I'll tell you in the future.”
"No, just tell me.”Zhao Jinmai acted coquettishly, which was rare.
Zhao Jinmai had been acting like Lin Dongfang's servant ever since he entered the courtyard.
However, Lin Dongfang treated Zhao Jinmai as his sister.
Many times, Lin Dongfang didn't want Zhao Jinmai to take care of him. Instead, he wanted him to take care of him.
However, this time, Lin Dongfang finally felt a trace of kinship in his heart.
"Okay, okay, okay. Let's talk while cooking.”
Lin Dongfang agreed and took her hand to the kitchen.
Being taken care of every day, Lin Dongfang also wanted to do some work.
"Alright, brother, hurry up and tell me.”Zhao Jinmai cheered and followed Lin Dongfang into the kitchen.

On the other side, in the courtyard house.
At this moment, there was a meeting in the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai sat in the middle while Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui sat on the side.
As it was a working day, it was not appropriate to stay away from people.
Liu Haizhong took a look and stood up when he saw that it was about time.
"Everyone, the reason why we are holding this meeting today is because our academy has been robbed.”
Hearing that there was a thief, the people in the courtyard immediately became nervous.
"What's going on? Our courtyard has never been invaded by thieves.”
"That's right. I haven't lost a needle or a piece of thread in ten years.”
"Whose house lost something? Is it expensive?”
·········
Seeing that everyone was starting to discuss, Liu Haizhong quickly suppressed his voice.
"Everyone, don't argue. The purpose of our meeting is to catch this thief.”
As expected, everyone fell silent.
Liu Haizhong continued," Just this morning, five yuan, half a bag of dried sweet potatoes, a small bag of melon seeds, and a small bag of peanuts were lost from the house of Grandpa Yi in our courtyard.”
"Although there aren't many things, the nature is bad. Therefore, I hope that everyone can quickly come out and provide clues.”
"If you catch the thief, not only will the Council reward you, but we will also report it to the streets and hang a red flag for you.”
After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he looked at Yi Zhonghai's expression.
Yi Zhonghai didn't promise the reward.
It was Liu Haizhong who made the decision.
However, Yi Zhonghai did not say anything, which was a tacit agreement.
For a moment, the people in the courtyard began to discuss.
"Who is this? Not only did he steal money, but he also stole so much food.”
"I don't know. I'm afraid it's not a mouse. It's all snacks.”
"That's right. Grandpa Yi has so many things in his house. Why would he steal these?”
"Hehe, it's probably done by our courtyard. If it was a thief outside, wouldn't he have emptied his house?”
The courtyard was filled with discussions, but no one came out to provide clues.
Everyone was busy with work every day, so how could they have time to think about this?
On the other hand, Jia Zhangshi, who was standing at the side, hid behind him. No one knew what she was thinking.
Soon, Yi Zhonghai couldn't wait any longer. He stood up and said,""Everyone, stop for a moment."
"I think this thief came from our courtyard. If anyone takes the initiative to admit it, I can let bygones be bygones.”
"But if I don't admit it, I can only call the police. If I get caught by the police station, the outcome will be different.”
As soon as he said this, no one in the courtyard made a sound.
No one wanted to be suspected, so they could only watch the show quietly.
Jia Zhangshi, who was hiding in the corner, thought for a moment, then turned around and went home.
No one knew what she was thinking, and no one noticed her.
At this moment, Silly Zhu returned.
Liu Haizhong saw it and shouted,"Silly Zhu, where did you go? Hurry up and come to the meeting."”
"Yo, what are you talking about today?"”
He was originally a person who loved excitement. Now that there was a show to watch, he naturally would not miss it.
"Uncle One's house was robbed. Did you see anyone suspicious?" Liu Haizhong explained.”
Hearing that it was about Yi Zhonghai, Silly Zhu lost interest.
"What does it have to do with me that his house was robbed?”
"You guys take your time to investigate. I'll be leaving first.”
After saying this, Silly Pillar left.
Yi Zhonghai immediately felt that something was wrong.
In the past, if anything happened to Yi Zhonghai, Silly Zhu would rush to help.
Why did he leave this time with such an attitude?
On the other hand, Xu Damao, who was at the side, quickly stepped forward and said,"First Master, Second Master, I think it was Silly Zhu who stole it. We should capture him and interrogate him carefully.”
Yi Zhonghai waved his hand." Xu Damao, go to the side. Silly Zhu isn't a thief."”
Everyone knew about Silly Zhu's character. He might be a little stupid, but he wouldn't steal anything, especially when he had only stolen so little.
Xu Damao asked for a snub and could only go back and sit obediently.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing who the thief was.
" What do you think?" Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked," Master Yi, what do you think?"
Yi Zhonghai didn't know what to do. There weren't many things. If it was really stolen by the people in the yard, it would hurt their relationship if they called the police.
However, if he didn't call the police, he would feel aggrieved if he lost something for no reason.
Liu Haizhong saw that Yi Zhonghai did not speak and looked at Yan Bugui.
"Third Uncle, what do you think?"
Third Uncle shook his head." I don't have any objections. Let's see what Old Yi thinks."”
Now, everyone turned their attention to Yi Zhonghai.
