Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Jia Dongxu, do you know about this?"

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Jia Zhang would cause trouble again.

"She did have money on her. I thought Huairu took it just now."

Jia Dongxu didn't want his family's money to be taken away by others for nothing.

"If it was really stolen in our yard, we have to investigate."

"That's right, when did a thief appear in our yard?"

"This three dollars is not a small amount. I only earn three dollars every two or three days."

"There shouldn't be many people at home this afternoon, so let's ask them one by one."

"..."

The neighbors around don’t want thieves around them.

"Call the second uncle and the third uncle, notify everyone and hold a meeting for the whole hospital."

Yi Zhonghai frowned. He couldn’t let himself be the only one to bear the headache after seeing such a thing happen.

.......

"Brother Dongxu, what happened again?"

When Yi Bufan was called out, most of the neighbors in the yard had already gathered.

"Just sit down and listen to you. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Jia Dongxu glared at Yi Bufan with a unhappy expression.

"Yi Bufan, where is your wife?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced around and asked.

"Oh, my wife is not feeling well today, so she just lay down on the kang when she got home."

Yi Bufan smiled.

"I feel uncomfortable. I think it's because I feel guilty."

Jia Zhang's sarcastic voice made Yi Bufan frown.

"Aunt Jia, what do you mean?"

Yi Bufan turned his head and looked.

"It doesn't mean anything. He must have stolen my money. He doesn't dare to come out for the meeting!"

Jia Zhang also locked her target when she saw Yi Bufan just now.

"What do you mean by stealing money?" Yi Bufan said, looking at Yi Zhonghai: "Three uncles, my husband and I have just started working and we really don't have any money. However, if you say that we stole money, it is slander and defamation. I want to call the police!"

"Things in the yard should be solved in the yard. Why call the police? We have three uncles in charge." Yi Zhonghai said and looked at Jia Zhang: "Zhang Cuihua, if you suspect someone, you must have evidence."

"Does this require evidence?"

"Before Yi Bufan and his wife came to our yard, there had never been a thief in our yard."

"After they came, all our tables, chairs, pots, pans, and utensils were lost."

"Now I'm hanging my laundry outside and my money has been stolen. Who else could it be but them?"

I have to say that what Jia Zhang said does make some sense.

Everyone turned to look at Yi Bufan, waiting for his explanation.

"Yi Bufan, tell me."

Yi Zhonghai looked over, and Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were also looking at him.

In fact, these two people didn’t have a good impression of Yi Bufan. After all, they were also the ones who suffered losses.

"I don't think I need to explain further about the disappearance of the things piled up in my yard. If anyone still insists on it, go find the leader of the street office."

"As for what Aunt Jia just said about the money in her clothes being stolen, I have a few doubts."

"First: Who can prove that there was money in Aunt Jia's clothes, or even three dollars and seventy-four cents? Forget about the family, but the law doesn't recognize it."

"Second: Assuming that Aunt Jia really had three dollars and seventy-four cents in her clothes, can I also suspect that the money was not lost, but that she hid it herself?"

"Third: My wife and I went to work in the afternoon. When we left, we left earlier than Brother Dongxu. When we came back, we were basically after everyone else. Besides, there were so many people in the yard when we came back, and there was no chance for us to steal. How could we steal?"

When Yi Bufan was saying this, Jia Zhang wanted to interrupt him, but unfortunately Yi Bufan did not give her a chance to speak.

"Nonsense, I have it, it's in my pants."

Jia Zhang was anxious.

"Who can prove it?"

Yi Bufan looked at Jia Zhang.

"My son gave me five dollars in total. I went to eat braised pork last week and the week before last, and spent one dollar and twenty cents."

"I have six cents left. I'll buy some painkillers."

What Jia Zhang said made a lot of sense. She usually doubted others, but she didn't expect that today she would be doubted by others.

"Grandma, you went to eat braised pork, why didn't you take me with you!"

After hearing this, Banggeng's mouth started watering. The thought of braised pork seemed delicious.

"Yeah, Mom, why did you go to eat braised pork by yourself, more than once!"

Jia Dongxu felt uncomfortable and a little angry after hearing this.

"No wonder Jia Zhang is in such good health. She's living a good life."

"I guess Qin Huairu gave birth to two babies and got pregnant with the third one, but she never ate two plates of braised pork."

“I’m really willing to eat it.”

"I didn't realize that you like to eat alone."

"..."

Many people have some jealousy in their hearts.

Even Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong felt sad. They earned more money than Jia Dongxu, but they had never eaten like this.

Yi Zhonghai swallowed his saliva. His family could afford it, but every time he wanted to eat it, Auntie felt it was not cost-effective and it would be better to let Sha Zhu cook it.

"This isn't about the braised pork. It's about me really having more than three dollars."

Jia Zhang didn't want to reveal the secret, but she didn't want the three dollars to disappear.

"Then you can ask the comrade who collects money at the state-owned restaurant to prove it for you, and just assume it's true."

"But how do you prove that you really lost the money and didn't just hide it yourself?"

"Also, why do you suspect me and my wife?"

Yi Bufan looked at Jia Zhang.

"Our yard was fine before, but when you came back, our money was stolen. Who else could it be but you?"

Jia Zhang's mind was also racing, trying to find a reason.

"Three stewards, either Aunt Jia can prove that my wife and I really stole her money, or I will demand compensation for my loss of reputation."

"If you can't solve it, I'll call the police."

Yi Bufan ignored Jia Zhang and looked directly at the three gentlemen in front of him.

"That's right, call the police. I also support letting the police handle it. They try to bully Comrade Yi Bufan every now and then."

Xu Damao, who had just returned from outside, heard it and naturally wanted to help out.

Then he sat down next to Lou Xiao'e.

"Stop making noises and listen to the three masters!"

Sha Zhu glared at Xu Damao, and naturally he had to maintain order for Yi Zhonghai.

"Why call the police? Don't mess around."

"Ms. Jia Zhang, please tell me why you suspect Comrade Yi Bufan. You need to produce evidence, who saw it, and when did it happen?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhangshi. Yi Bufan was difficult to deal with, and with Xu Damao...

"I..." Jia Zhang racked her brains but couldn't think of a way to get Yi Bufan into trouble: "How would I know this? If I knew, why would I need you to check?"

"Okay, I'll cooperate with the investigation. If they can't find anything, we can discuss compensating for my loss of reputation!"

Yi Bufan didn't intend to let Jia Zhang go just like that, so he asked Xu Damao to help find the police.
