Siheyuan: Don’t say I can’t do it

When Chen Luo returned to Yard 95, he found that almost everyone in the yard had gathered in the middle yard.

He realized that this was going to be a meeting of the entire courtyard, so he returned to his room, poured a cup of tea, and came to the central courtyard, sitting aside and listening quietly.

Normally, there would be a square table in the center of the courtyard, but today there were two.

Not only that, staff from the street office, Chief Zhang from the police station, and the criminal officer from the Women's Federation all arrived at the scene.

The first issue discussed at the meeting was the issue of strangers checking in, and this topic was explained by Chief Zhang of the police station.

Then, they talked about the rights of women and children, and reminded women and children to safeguard their own rights. If they encounter difficulties, they can always seek help from the Women's Federation.

Officer Xing seemed very excited and even a little extreme when she was telling the story, which made Chen Luo feel that she seemed to have some "female boxing" tendencies.

However, in the context of this era, even if she explains the problem thoroughly, most women still regard men as their heaven.

Most of the women in Yard 95 are housewives who rely on men to support their families. How can they get hard?

This is even more true for children. If they are beaten by adults, would they dare to go to the Women’s Federation?

They shouldn’t dare. Which child isn’t afraid of being disliked by their parents?

Director Zhang looked at everyone and said, "There was a theft case in our compound recently. The amount of theft was large and the victim was Wang Tiezhu's family. I solemnly warn those who have bad intentions here. If you take the initiative to turn yourself in, we can consider giving you a lighter sentence. But if you are lucky and try to evade responsibility, once you are discovered, the consequences will be very serious!"

His eyes scanned each person, as if trying to see through their appearance to their inner heart.

However, when his eyes fell on Jia Dongxu, he found that the other party's face was frighteningly gloomy.

Qin Huairu stood aside as if nothing had happened, showing no sign of nervousness at all.

Seeing her indifferent reaction, Chen Luo thought that this theft had nothing to do with Banggeng.

In order to further confirm, Chen Luo used his mental power to investigate and found that Banggeng was busy digging a hole in the west wing!

Next to him was a tin box.

There was a lot of money in the box.

Chen Luo's heart was moved, and he thought: "This kid is really bold. He actually dared to steal so much money. This is no longer a petty theft."

He decided to teach Bang Geng a lesson and let him experience the feeling of being caught in the act.

So Chen Luo quietly left the central courtyard, used the "Transfiguration Sutra" to change his appearance, and put on the clothes of an ordinary worker.

Then he returned to Director Zhang and whispered to him about Banggeng.

After hearing this, Director Zhang's eyes became sharp. He gestured to Xiao Li behind him and said, "Let's go and take a look with him."

The two men climbed over the wall and sneaked into the west wing.

At this time, Banggeng had just dug the hole and was ready to bury the tin box containing the banknotes.

He didn't even notice someone approaching and was still immersed in his own little world.

Banggeng was caught red-handed and his crotch became wet immediately.

It seems that he doesn't have much courage.

"Chief! The thief has been caught!" Xiao Li climbed up the wall excitedly and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang immediately stood up and said righteously: "The law is long and will not let anyone slip through. Anyone who is lucky enough will not be able to escape legal punishment."

Director Wang quickly sent someone to get the key to the west wing and open the moon gate.

Everyone in the hospital followed him and went there together.

Everyone was surprised to see the pit dug by Banggeng and the tin box full of money and tickets.

Director Zhang personally counted the money and tickets in the box and found that the amount was much more than what was stolen from the Wang family.

"It seems that you are not only a thief, but also a habitual offender. The property you stole far exceeds the loss of the family! Take you back to the police station first and interrogate you thoroughly!"

At this moment, Chen Luo had changed back to his original attire and appearance, and quietly walked into the west wing.

He noticed keenly that Qin Huairu was hiding behind Jia Dongxu at this moment, covering her mouth tightly and not saying a word.

This behavior was very different from her usual style and aroused Chen Luo's suspicion.

Neither Jia Dongxu nor Qin Huairu pleaded for Jia Banggeng.

It seemed as if the couple were eager for Banggeng to be captured.

Director Zhang asked Xiao Li to bring Banggeng back to the station, and then said to Jia Dong and Qin Huairu, "It seems that you two are aware of your son Banggeng's stealing behavior. Didn't you educate him normally?"

"Whenever we tried to educate him, my mother-in-law would protect him. Now that she's been driven away, we try to educate him again, but we find that he has his own ideas and ignores everything we say."

Qin Huairu quickly came up to reply and blocked Jia Dongxu behind her.

"Let's go, let's go, the door is locked!"

Seeing that Banggeng had been taken away, Director Wang also began to ask everyone to leave the west wing.

There was nothing lively to see here anymore, so everyone returned to Yard 95.

Director Zhang chatted with Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu for a few more sentences, saying that this time he must teach Banggeng a lesson so that he will remember it.

Director Wang said that children nowadays are becoming more and more difficult to manage, and if they are not educated well, big problems will arise in the future.

Director Zhang and Director Wang both knew that as parents, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu would certainly not be willing to beat their child, but they also understood that if Banggeng was not properly educated, he might really go astray.

So, although they could not directly instigate Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu to beat the child, they could not help but give many hints, hoping that they would pay attention to this issue.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu felt conflicted after listening to what the two said.

Of course they knew about Banggeng's problem, but after all, he was their own flesh and blood, so how could they bear to take harsh measures?

But at the same time, they are also worried that Banggeng will get deeper and deeper into the trap and eventually be unable to extricate himself.

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu's faces turned very ugly.

They don’t know what to do…

After the people from the Street Office, Police Station, and Women's Federation left Yard 95 together, the whole yard meeting did not end.

The three uncles began to exert their strength.

"Bang Geng became like this because of Jia Zhang's instigation. This matter really cannot be blamed on Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu. With Jia Zhang's protection, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu cannot effectively discipline the child..."

The uncle first gave a long speech to absolve Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu of all responsibility, and successfully won the favor of both of them.

Then, he continued, "However, you two must shoulder the responsibility of educating your children in the future and teach Banggeng well. We will never allow petty thieves to appear in our yard..."

As soon as the first uncle finished speaking, the second uncle immediately took over the topic and said, "I also want to say a few words. On weekdays, I did beat and scold my children too casually. In the future, I will follow what Officer Xing said and try to convince people with reason instead of beating and scolding children without reason. After all, we should set an example and guide children onto the right path."

Hearing what the second uncle said, Chen Luo couldn't help but feel very surprised.

He thought, 'Is this something Second Master could say? How could Second Master take the initiative to admit his mistakes?'

Chen Luo even began to suspect that the Second Uncle was possessed by someone.

Because in his impression, the second uncle has always been a stubborn and arrogant person, and it is hard to imagine that he would express his thoughts and attitudes so frankly.

Not only Chen Luo was surprised, everyone in the hospital was surprised.

Especially the first and third uncles.

The two of them have been working with the Second Master for such a long time that they can be said to know him very well.

Because of this, the two of them simply did not believe that the Second Uncle would undergo such a big change.
