Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Liu Haishang continued, "Li Han, it's true that Banggeng is naughty and has the habit of stealing things occasionally, but he only made trouble at Shazhu's house and never invaded other people's houses. Saying that he stole from you may be a misunderstanding."

Sha Zhu quickly confirmed, "Second brother is right. Banggeng has only taken things from my house, and that was with permission. As a man, you can't always be like a child and care about trivial matters. Some people just like to be pretentious." While boasting about himself, he also did not forget to tease Li Han.

"Now the facts are clear, Bang Geng did not steal yours.

Lao Yi also said that as long as you let it go, he will not pursue the matter any further.

Uncle Yan Bugui also expressed his support after the statement.

The third uncle's words were like a thunderbolt, and everyone in the yard was inclined to think that the matter should come to an end.

But unexpectedly, Li Han sneered.

"Three uncles, is what Bang Geng said true? Then isn't it possible that I said Bang Geng stole something?"

"Your bias is a bit too obvious!"

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is biased or not is not the key point, what we are maintaining is the order of the community.

If you have solid evidence, we will listen, but if not, it's you who is wrong!"

“Evidence?”

"That's right. I will use evidence to speak for everyone." After Li Han finished speaking, he pulled out a key from his pocket and deliberately let everyone see it.

"Look carefully at this bunch of keys, they are for my door. I remember the adults talking about a locked iron box that my great-grandfather had made, which was the one that Uncle Yi tried but failed.

I specifically locked my pension money in there.

Now this bunch of keys includes the key that can open that box.

Coincidentally, I couldn’t find the iron box today.

Think about it, isn't it obvious that Bang Geng stole my keys and disappeared with the box where I kept my pension money?

Li Han's words once again caused a round of whispers and discussions.

"I have heard of the special iron box of the Li family. It was specially designed by Master Li Daqiang. It cannot be opened without a key. Only he can open the box."

"It seems that Bang Geng not only stole Li Han's keys, but also stole his box!"

"They say there's pension money in the box. This is no small matter. Banggeng is so young and yet he dares to steal other people's property!"

The emotional turmoil of these residents naturally accumulated a lot of emotional points for Li Han.

"Ding, get the community residents' emotional points +1000."

Li Han felt very comfortable and gained some emotional points.

However, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui had different feelings.

They supported Bang Geng only because they wanted Li Han to move out.

But the evidence was so clear before their eyes that it was difficult for them to refute it.

How could Sha Zhu let the situation deteriorate? After all, this matter might involve his own safety.

"Li Han, you are lying!" Yi Zhonghai stepped forward, "Banggeng is still a child. He may have taken your key just for fun, but he didn't mean to steal your box.

You are mixing these two things together, which shows your prejudice!

Faced with this situation, Li Han certainly would not allow the situation to continue to develop in a direction that is unfavorable to him.

"Since you all think I am slandering Banggeng, there is nothing more to say. Call the police! Let the police intervene. This is the most fair way."

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, the system sound effect immediately rang in Li Han's mind.

"Ding, get Shazhu's emotional points +300."

"Ding, get Yi Zhonghai's emotional points +300."

"Ding, get Liu Haizhong's emotion points +300."

"Ding, get Yan Bugui's emotional points +300."

...

The notes were not included in the translation.

“Don’t call the police!”

For Yi Zhonghai, he was quite anxious at this moment.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, the street has begun the work of selecting high-end communities.

If the police were called, it would be difficult to get rid of the negative perception of the community. Not only would their efforts over the past year be in vain, but Uncle Yi's reputation of trust among neighbors would also be damaged.

"Li Han, as a member of the courtyard, how can you easily call the police? Now is the critical period for the selection of advanced courtyards. You are ignoring the overall interests of the courtyard!"

"Perhaps you are alone and may think that striving for the honor of an advanced compound is not important, but to others, that is an extra half pound of pork, a delicacy that can only be eaten a few times a year! Your actions do make you feel relieved, but the families of hundreds of people and dozens of small families in the compound cannot bear these losses because of your recklessness!"

Yi Zhonghai scolded Li Han emotionally, and the residents around him nodded in agreement.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and everyone is eager to be rated as an advanced courtyard, so that they can get an extra half pound of meat this month.

The meat dishes on the New Year’s Eve dinner are more abundant.

"Li Han, don't rush to call the police according to uncle's instructions.

We will all help to recover the stolen pension from your family, so please don't alert the police."

"We all know that losing the pension is troublesome, but this selection process is also important to us."

"You are an adult now. You should learn to consider the collective instead of just caring about yourself. Such selfishness will only leave you isolated and helpless.

If you want to have support in the future, step back, release the boy immediately, and let us work together to get your pension back."

For every family, half a pound of pork involves common interests. In comparison, Li Han’s personal gains and losses become insignificant.

Almost all the residents were trying to persuade Li Han.

Seeing that he had successfully led the topic, Yi Zhonghai secretly rejoiced.

How could the twenty-year-old Li Han possibly shake the decision of him who had lived for more than half a century?

"Li Han, you fatherless and helpless boy, let go of my lovely great-grandson!"

A sound similar to that of a pig was heard, and everyone looked over there.

I saw a short, stout old woman with a face as fat as a pancake walking towards me in anger.

"Old lady Jia Zhang has arrived, there will definitely be a lot of fun!"

Someone whispered.

Li Han looked at Jia Zhangshi. He was not unfamiliar with her character.

In the original novel, no one can match Jia Zhang's behavior of throwing tantrums and playing tricks on others.

"Grandma, Li Han bullied me!"

The child, whose nickname was Banggeng, saw his grandmother coming and started to complain as if he had found a savior.

Jia Zhang glanced at the big face and cursed: "Damn Li Han, how dare you bully my beloved great-grandson? I will kill you today!"

An old needle with rough stitches, used for making insoles, was beside her ready for use.

When she heard the word "baby", she pulled out the needle without mercy and was about to stab Li Han.

Stab it!

Li Han grabbed the stick without dodging and held it in front of his eyes.

Jia Zhang had no intention of regretting and inserted the needle directly into the back of the stick.

Ouch~!

Bang Geng burst into tears, and Jia Zhang's formation was in chaos and they were furious, but in the end they had some concerns and did not dare to attack Li Han again.

"I will kill you!"

Jia Zhang, who pounced on him, was kicked away by Li Han with a light kick. She fell heavily into the mud with dirt in her mouth.

"Oh, Old Jia, I can't live any longer! This kid named Li bullied our Jia family and made us lose our male offspring. Why don't you come and take him away so I can have some peace and quiet!"

The power to summon Jia Zhang is not boasting. Once he appears, he will use his power to let Jia take Li Han away.

"Ding, the emotional value of the gifted stick increased by 200 points."

"Ding, the Jia Zhang family's emotional value increased by 300 points."

“Ding, the sentiment value of other residents has risen to +1000 points.”

Hearing this voice, Li Han felt secretly proud.

Teaching Jia Zhang a lesson and making everyone amazed was a very profitable move.

"As you all saw, it was actually Jia Zhang who started the fight first. I only defended myself out of necessity."

Li Han tried to explain.

Everyone looked at the crazy woman Jia Zhang lying on the ground, Bang Geng who was still crying, and then at Li Han who had a calm face, all with an expression of disbelief.

Even Yi Zhonghai seemed shocked.

Originally, he wanted to witness how Jia Zhang made a fuss.

that's it……

A scene that was difficult to watch happened.

He said to Li Han: "Brother Han, I still say the same thing, as long as you don't report the case and return Goudan to us, we can all help find the box containing the condolence money.

Moreover, I guarantee in the name of Master Yi that it will never come to trouble your family again. "

Yi Zhonghai hopes to downplay the situation and avoid the core issues as much as possible.

Li Han naturally understood this.

People like Yi Zhonghai, in addition to loving to teach others, also pay special attention to their own reputation.

By not calling the police at this moment, he is just trying to preserve his own reputation.

"Master Yi, since you have used your reputation as a guarantee, I will make a small compromise, but I must get my condolence money box back within half an hour, and not a single cent can be missing."

"Also, is it not too much to ask the thief who stole the box to apologize to me in person?"

Although Li Han seemed to have made concessions, his demands were not excessive.

This put Yi Zhonghai in an awkward position and he fell silent.

Since Li Han proposed to find the condolence money within half an hour and asked the perpetrator to apologize publicly,

The system's message prompts rang in his mind one after another.

Open the system panel.

【Superpower Emotion Lottery System】

[Host: Li Han]

[Emotional points: 8300 points]

【Equipment: Empty】

[Note: Primary lottery consumes 1 emotion points, intermediate lottery requires 5 emotion points, and advanced lottery consumes 10 emotion points. Intermediate and advanced lotteries require upgrading the box first.

】

His current emotional score has increased from the initial zero to 8300 points.

It seems that the battle of wits and courage is really interesting.

And on the other side,

"Master Yi, don't listen to Li Han. Maybe he lost his own condolence money, and Goudan happened to come to their house to make trouble that day, so Banggeng took the blame!"

Sha Zhu absolutely did not want to expose the fact that his iron box was hidden in his house, otherwise he would never be able to clear himself up even if he turned the matter upside down.

But after weighing the pros and cons of calling the police and concealing the truth, he still chose the latter and chose to remain silent.

Without responding to Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai said to Li Han: "Okay, I will find the condolence money in half an hour, and the person who stole the box will also give you an explanation.

Can you let Goudan go now?"

"make a deal."

Li Han agreed without hesitation and released Goudan.

We cannot offend these guys in the big yard all at once, we must dismantle their arrogance step by step.

Only in this way can he continue to replenish his emotional value.

Seeing Banggeng was released, Jia Zhang originally planned to play some tricks on Li Han, but at this time, Yi Zhonghai said: "Aunt Zhang, just take Goudan to my house."

"Zhu Zi, you come too."

After he finished speaking, he returned to the middle courtyard.

Jia Zhang snorted at Yi Zhonghai's attitude, and walked away dragging her stick with an unhappy look on her face.

Sha Zhu followed quickly.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's one-on-one challenge, Uncle Liu Liu Haizhong and Uncle Yan Yan Bugui both felt much more relaxed and returned to their families. Residents from other courtyards also began to leave one after another, waiting for the next good show.

"Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai, let me see how you handle this matter!"

Li Han just needs to wait for Yi Zhonghai to give his plan.

If he is not satisfied, he will report the case without hesitation.

……

Yi Zhonghai returned to his home in the Central Courtyard.

Shazhu, Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng all stayed here.

Yi Zhonghai got straight to the point and asked, "Zhu Zi, is the condolence money really related to you? I have been with you for many years, and I know you well. You should not lie to me."

Yi Zhonghai thought he understood Sha Zhu's nature very well, just like he knew what kind of pee would happen next when he saw someone take off their pants.

Sha Zhu is an honest man and he would never lie in front of others, let alone his acquaintances, so there is naturally no reason for him to hide anything.

"Master Yi, actually the box is in my hands now."

Yi Zhonghai was not too surprised by this, as such an answer was completely within his expectations.

Jia Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "Shazhu, you damned fellow, you said you stole the box from Li Han's house and made my precious grandson bear the blame. Look at his face, it's swollen. You have to pay the money!"

"If you don't pay me, I will go and complain to the neighbors in the compound and see how you behave in the future!" Jia Zhang usually turned a blind eye to Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, because she knew that Sha Zhu sent meals to the Jia family because of Qin Huairu's favor.

When the Jia family has tried everything but still cannot make ends meet, as long as they ask for help from Sha Zhu, they will get help immediately and never fail.

To Jia Zhang, Sha Zhu was like a delicious delicacy that she had been salivating over. Now that she had the chance to teach him a lesson, how could she miss the opportunity?

"Sister-in-law, calm down." Yi Zhonghai said to comfort Jia Zhang.

"The one who stole the pension box was not Shazhu, but Gun'er." Jia Zhang's round face showed an expression of surprise.

"Impossible! Didn't Shazhu admit that the box was at his house? How could it be said that my good grandson stole it?" Shazhu said, "Auntie Zhang, it really wasn't Shazhu. You can ask Banggeng."

Jia Zhang looked at Bang Geng with a searching look.

Gun'er raised his head and said, "Grandma, I stole it. Why should that man Li Han enjoy more than one thousand yuan in pension alone? He should share it with our Jia family!"

Jia Zhang was instantly excited when she heard this, "The pension originally belonged to our Jia family, great, now it's in our hands, it's our property, no one can take it away.

Silly, come and give me the box!"

At this time, she no longer blamed Sha Zhu, but looked at him with a joyful smile, as if she saw a god of wealth who brought wealth.

"Sister-in-law, it's better to return the box to Li Han, otherwise he will call the police." Yi Zhonghai explained: "If the police are really called, the truth will come out sooner or later. This is a crime, and Gun'er will be in trouble."

"In this case, we must return the original item as soon as possible and deal with it privately. At least we can just let Gun'er apologize and make a big deal out of a small matter." Yi Zhonghai analyzed the problem with a firm attitude.

Sha Zhu, who had originally refused to hand over the pension box, began to waver after listening to Yi Zhonghai's argument.

Although Jia Zhang always solved problems by behaving like a shrew, the word "sentence" was enough to scare her and make her restrain herself.

"Okay, Yi Zhonghai, I'll listen to you." Faced with punishment, Qin Huairu chose to let Bang'er apologize as the final result.

Just when the three of them had agreed to let Banger return the box and apologize, a voice came from outside the door: "Sister Qin, why are you here?"

As soon as Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu's plump figure and smelled the delicate milky fragrance from her skin, he couldn't help but be fascinated.

Qin Huairu had just finished breastfeeding Huaihua, and the baby was sleeping peacefully. She noticed Bang'er's tearful face and asked anxiously, "Bang'er, why are you crying? What's wrong? Let me see what happened."

Qin Huairu's expression was full of love for her child. Compared to Jia Zhang's loss of control, her anger was more suppressed and forbearing.

After hearing the details, she was so shocked that she could hardly believe it. A questioning voice rang out in the air: "How could Gun'er steal Li Han's pension?"

Jia family's beloved grandson Banggeng is Qin Huairu's only support while staying in this family.

If it weren't for Bang Geng, Qin Huairu would have thought about remarrying long ago.

She had to avoid at all costs tarnishing her son's good reputation by being accused of "theft".

Turning to Shazhu, Qin Huairu asked, "Shazhu, Banggeng has been following you these days. Did you encourage him to steal the pension?"

"I handed such a trustworthy guy to your family, how could you corrupt his character like this?" she questioned. Faced with the questioning, Sha Zhu seemed a little confused. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
