I also felt disgusted.

Look at that man in the crowd, he looks sleazy and has a fearful and guilty expression.

Yang Shengnan immediately understood that this man was the protagonist of today's incident.

“What do you mean, ‘your room’? This is a house in our village. Why can’t we come here?” a middle-aged woman shouted from the crowd.

Gu Yunyang looked over, his eyes sharp. The other person took a slight step back, then seemed to feel as if he had lost face, and walked forward a bit, glaring at him with his eyes wide open.

"Yeah?"

Gu Yunyang asked nonchalantly, "Then how about I go to the town and ask the educated youth office and the commune if the rooms the village assigned to us are supposed to be opened every day to invite you over to check them out?"

Go to the police station and ask if this room belongs to us, and whether our belongings should be laid out so you can take them back.

The middle-aged woman opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

But she couldn't answer any of Gu Yunyang's questions.

Now that they're blocked by the captain, what else can they do?

Now, all she can hope for is that the brigade leader will not favor the educated youth, considering they are all from the same brigade and village.

They're all from the same village, and they even share the same surname.

Wait, what does this boy look like?

Widow Liu's group was taken aback, sensing something was amiss.

Gu Yunyang fell silent and instead looked at Gu Hanping, hoping he could explain things clearly.

The reason I didn't ask directly at the beginning was that I wanted to suppress the arrogance of this woman and her family first.

Don't assume they're easy to bully just because they're from out of town and sent-down youth.

Although they are from outside, they have three major departments behind them.

Neither the educated youth office nor the commune could ignore the educated youth; if things escalated, the educated youth office and the commune would also be held responsible.

As for the police station, that's even easier to explain.

This incident clearly shows that they came to the house to steal, and were caught by the captain.

When the police station comes to arrest someone, they're always successful.

The reason the other party is not afraid is simply because they are villagers and related by blood, and they hope the brigade leader will protect them.

But Gu Yunyang was observing the village's attitude at that moment.

It's impossible to end it silently.

Even if Gu Yunyang disagrees, Yang Shengnan and Han Xue will not agree either.

Gu Hanping nodded slightly to himself. If he were to be forceful, the child would not stand up for himself because he was young and thin-skinned.

Of course, he would definitely favor his own family.

Although everyone in the village is related, this person is his own nephew.

If he doesn't protect his own nephew, does he expect him to protect outsiders?

Those are all relatives beyond the fifth degree of kinship.

Gu Hanping recounted the events in a deep voice: "This morning, my second brother, Gu Hansheng, came here to ask you when the roof inspection would begin. You had all left, so my second brother went back first."

In the afternoon, he figured you should be back by now, so he came over again to ask, and accidentally overheard some noises coming from inside.

He called out a few times, and the room immediately fell silent. My second brother became curious and called out a few more times, but there was still no response.

He was worried that something might have happened, that he might be sick or collapsed, so he asked him questions as he pushed the door open and came in.

Then I saw Gu Ergou rummaging through things inside.

My second brother cornered Gu Ergou in the house, and after a commotion, the noise attracted us. And then, as you can see, that's what happened next.

Things went as I expected, except that Gu Hansheng came to inquire twice.

Was this incident blocked by the other party?

Gu Hanping's words were actually meant to plead for Gu Hansheng, fostering a better relationship between father and son, and preparing for their eventual reunion.

Others might not be able to tell, but Gu Hansheng and Gu Yunyang could.

Gu Yunyang simply nodded, acknowledging the favor, but he was unwilling to formally acknowledge the relationship.

Gu Hanping sighed. It seemed that this matter really couldn't be rushed.

But the immediate issue needs to be resolved: "So, what do you think we should do?"
