Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"Lin Yao, you two should clean these up first. I'm going to go out for a while!"

"Okay, Brother Jun, just leave this work to me, and let Sister Lin Yao take a rest." Before Lin Yao could even speak, Yan Jiecheng on the side diligently picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked towards the sink.

Yan Jiecheng was happy just thinking about getting a salary of one dollar a day, and was afraid of losing this job.

Seeing this, Chen Jun smiled, nodded, and left the yard.

He first went to a nearby antique stall and found that the items there were not cheap. After wandering around for a long time, he finally bought a bracelet of similar size from a small stall in a corner.

The bracelet has a rough texture and several obvious cracks, and it is obviously junk.

But the stall owner was not an ordinary person. He opened his mouth and sold the best stuff from the palace for twenty yuan.

When Chen Jun heard the price, the corners of his mouth twitched. This stall owner was really good at cheating people. He actually dared to charge twenty yuan for a bracelet made of marble!

Even if you don't know the value of things, you will know that this broken bracelet is not worth much.

"I don't have twenty, would you sell it to me for two cents?" Chen Jun directly took out two cents from his pocket.

"I offer you twenty dollars and you give me twenty cents. You don't bargain like that, young man!" The stall owner was so angry that his face turned red, as if he was going to punch Chen Jun twice if they disagreed.

Chen Jun thought about it and felt that the amount was a bit too much, so he added another dime: "Three cents will be fine, right?"

"No, no, this is a treasure from the palace, it can be passed down from generation to generation!"

"No, forget it. I'll look somewhere else." Chen Jun put down the bracelet, stood up and was about to leave.

The stall owner's face changed, and he quickly stood up and grabbed Chen Jun's arm: "Add a little more, I haven't opened for the whole day. If you really want it, I'll give you a real price."

"It's just three cents. I don't want a cent more!"

"Okay, okay, three cents is three cents. I think you are an honest man, so let's just consider it as making friends!" The stall owner looked painful, but he did not slow down at all in stuffing the bracelet.

Do you agree?

Chen Jun was a little confused, he even felt that his price was too high.

It’s just three cents, it doesn’t matter if it opens higher.

So Chen Jun paid the money and put the marble bracelet in his pocket.

When they reached a deserted place, Chen Jun flipped his wrist and a small wallet appeared out of thin air in his palm.

He took out the jade bracelet from the deaf old lady and put it into the system space, then put the marble jade bracelet bought by Sanmao into the small wallet.

You know what, these two bracelets are not only similar in size and color, but the quality is completely different.

Putting the small wallet in his pocket, Chen Jun returned to the courtyard.

Along the way, he was thinking about whose house to give the small wallet to, Yi Zhonghai or Sha Zhu?

"Damn you little bastard!"

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a curse in my ears.

The sound was very small, but Chen Jun still noticed it.

Following the sound, I saw that it was Jia Zhang who was cursing with his head down.

Because donations were no longer allowed in the Siheyuan, Jia Zhang felt that Chen Jun had cut off their family's financial resources, so she disliked Chen Jun even more.

Got it!

I was just wondering who to give the bracelet to, so I’ll give it to you, Jia Zhang!

Coming to the backyard and calling over the tamed sparrow, Chen Jun gave the order to hide the small wallet under Jia Zhang's bed.

Originally, it wanted to hide in the closet, but this instruction really made it difficult for the sparrow. With its small body, it could barely pick up the small wallet with its claws.

But hiding under the bed is the same as hiding in the closet.

After giving instructions to the little sparrow, Chen Jun went home to rest.

It was another wonderful nap, and I slept until the evening.

"Something bad has happened, something bad has happened, something bad has happened in our courtyard, someone has stolen my treasure!"

Chen Jun was awakened by a burst of crying and shouting.

The voice was very sharp and you could tell it was a deaf old lady.

Although she was old, she had a loud voice and she alarmed everyone in the yard after shouting a few times.

Chen Jun smiled and sat up from the bed. It finally came.

He originally thought that the deaf old lady would cause trouble in the afternoon, but he didn't expect that she would choose the time after get off work and gather everyone in the hospital.

If I hadn't discovered it in advance, I wouldn't be able to explain myself today.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Just when Chen Jun was about to get up and put on his shoes, there was a sudden and hurried knock on the door.

"Who?"

Chen Jun put on his shoes and went to open the door, and found that it was Yi Zhonghai standing outside.

"What are you doing? You don't even have manners at your age. Did your mother teach you to knock on the door like this?" Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, Chen Jun rebuked him.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned green after hearing this. His mother had passed away for many years, and Chen Jun actually dared to say this to him.

However, in order for the plan to proceed smoothly, Yi Zhonghai suppressed his anger and said to Chen Jun: "Chen Jun, come out and hold a meeting. There is a thief in the courtyard who stole the old lady's heirloom."

"Come out with me now and go to the meeting together."

Chen Jun snorted coldly when he heard this, and said unhappily: "What heirloom? The deaf old lady is a five-guarantee household in the courtyard. What good things can she have? What's so good about some junk?"

"No matter whether the things are valuable or not, they were passed down from the old lady's family. As the younger generation, we must help her get them back!" Yi Zhonghai said righteously.

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai said no more, turned around and left.

He was afraid that if he continued talking to Chen Jun, Chen Jun would not even attend the meeting.

"Brother, are you okay?" Lin Yao also ran out of the house.

Chen Jun patted her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go and watch the fun together."

And so, the brother and sister went out to the middle courtyard.

At this time, the old lady was sitting on the chair pitifully, as if she had just cried.

There were already quite a few people standing in the yard at this time, but they all looked at each other, not quite sure what was going on.

It is somewhat unbelievable that a deaf old lady was robbed.

After all, she had the most leisure time in this courtyard. She usually didn't go out. Moreover, she was a five-guarantee household and her family was extremely poor.

How desperate must the thief be to go to the deaf old lady's house to steal things?

"Quiet, everyone, be quiet first. Look at whose house someone hasn't come yet, and go and urge them to come."

Liu Haizhong naturally would not miss the opportunity to show off his status as the second uncle and stood up to preside over the meeting.

"Everyone is here!" Someone shouted.

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong cleared his throat and said with great sorrow: "There's a thief in our courtyard!"

"And he even went to the old lady's house to steal things. This thief is really heartless, bullying an elderly widow."

Yi Zhonghai on the side also said: "The old lady lost a bracelet. It was an heirloom in her family and the only thing she wanted."

"But now the bracelet is lost. We must find the thief and bring him to justice!"
