During dinner tonight, Lou Xiao'e officially announced to everyone that she would be cooperating with Chen Fang to do business together.

Chen Fang, citing her inconvenience in appearing in person frequently, appointed Fatty as her agent.

That's why Yu Li kicked him out of the house.

However, she was very tactful, only saying "tonight," and even saying it in a gentle tone. This made the fat man feel much better.

Unlike his wife before he time-traveled, who was the one who bought the house, whose down payment was made by his whole family, and whose loan he worked hard to pay off every month;

As a result, during one of their arguments, his wife actually told him to get out of the house! This house was his premarital property!

The fat man figured he must be a jerk, but since things were already like this, he stopped worrying about it.

So I shook Emily, who was sleeping next to me, awake, and then got her into the little stroller... no, I mean, the little yellow car...

The next day, early in the morning, Fatty left Stardew Valley at the appointed time, and after waiting a while, his mother pushed open the door and came in.

In front of Zhou Haiqin, the fat man didn't need any privacy. She directly and domineeringly pulled back the covers: "Get up and go back to your own home."

The chubby boy clutched the blanket, looking aggrieved. "Mom, Yu Li and I had a fight. We agreed on three days."

Zhou Haiqin was delighted. What an understanding daughter-in-law! You couldn't find one like her even with a lantern.

She gently slapped the fat man on the head: "Are you stupid? She said three days, so it's three days. She's just giving you an out, waiting for you to go back and coax her."

After getting up and washing up, the fat man went downstairs to buy breakfast for his parents and then went to get his car.

Then I remembered that Benleihu had driven the van away last night, so what's the point of taking it? Oh well, I'll just take the bus.

I haven't taken the bus in a long time, and I'm surprised how crowded the buses in Beijing are.

The old buses were so nice, everyone had a seat, no one had to stand; now, good heavens, before you even get on the bus, the conductor is already yelling at the top of his lungs: "Move in, move in, there are big seats inside!"

With the reform and opening up, more and more people have started to engage in shady dealings.

For example, on this bus, another pickpocketing incident has started.

"扒儿" means pickpocket. The word "扒手" is more accurately called "扒儿手". It comes from "夜雨秋灯录·小綞子": "It is the pickpocket of the North and the pickpocket of the South."

Unfortunately, this scoundrel had the misfortune of targeting the fat guy.

The guy froze as soon as he put his hand into the fat man's pocket!

What happened? He found a few marbles and started rolling them around in the fat man's pocket...

A marble is a ball. You're a grown man, not a child. Why would you stuff marbles in your pocket for no reason?

The fat man grinned at him: "Isn't this funny? My daughter stuffed this into my pocket yesterday."

Chen Mengqi is way past the age of playing pinball, okay? These pinballs were just transferred from Stardew Valley to Fatty's pocket!

Knowing he was in trouble, the man tried to pull his hand away.

However, they found that his hand was as if it were clamped by pliers, and he couldn't move it.

Ba'er got impatient: "Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, do you want to fight me to the death today?"

The fat man retorted, "Did you mark the ground?"

Ba'er was dumbfounded. What did that mean? Did this kid take the metaphor seriously?

Just as I was pondering this, I suddenly felt a strong force coming from it, and then I found that my vision was spinning.

No sooner said than done, in the blink of an eye, Ba'er felt his body slam heavily onto the ground, like a picture.

The fat man pressed down on his head: "That's what you call practicing on the ground. Got it?"

Ba'er's eyes reddened with rage: "You? I'll kill you today!"

Then, to his surprise, he discovered that he could move around and get up.

Ba'er stood up, looking completely bewildered, and then noticed that the fat man was looking at him with a mocking expression.

At this point, everyone on the bus realized that there was a pickpocket!

While quickly checking to see if he had lost anything, he surrounded them in layers, eager to see what would happen!

The fat man suddenly spread his hands at him and said, "Kill me!"

Ba'er wanted to cry and really wanted to tell him, "Brother, I do technical work, not banditry."

Even bandits don't necessarily have to kill. Of course, most of them just kill without burying the dead...

Seeing that Ba'er ignored him, the fat man took another step forward: "Squeeze me, squeeze me to death!"

The girl was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, shouting, "You, you, you, don't come any closer!"

The fat man grabbed him by the collar: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were going to strangle me to death?!"

The man immediately softened: "Brother, no, no, no, can I call you 'sir'? Sir, I was wrong. I'll go with you to turn myself in as soon as I get off the bus. Please let me go! I have an eighty-year-old mother..."

When the bus arrived at the station, the fat man led the thug to the police station.

I ran into Rain at the door: "Hey, Rain Sister?"

He Yushui glanced at the fat man, then at the man, and asked, "What's this?"

"You mean him? He tried to pull down my pants on the bus, and now he's bringing in a quota for our police officer!"

The man weakly protested, "How can you slander me out of thin air? I was just checking your pockets, when did I pull down your pants?"

Their conversation made He Yushui laugh. This fat man was almost 40 years old, but he was still like a child who had never grown up. It was so funny...

He Yushui glared at him reproachfully: "He's in his office, you'd better go in quickly."

When Ba'er saw this, his heart sank even further. Had he not checked the almanac before going out today? How could he have offended such a person, well, how should I put it?

Anyway, he's not going to have a good ending today. Didn't you see he even knows the families of police officers?

Seeing the fat man enter the police station as if it were his own home, one of the police officers even asked him, "What brings you here?"

Afterwards, she even offered him a cigarette. The guy was quite the bachelor, and he skillfully squatted down on the ground and said, "I confess!"

Several police officers surrounded him. The fat man explained, "We caught a pickpocket who tried to pick my pocket on the bus and even said he was going to kill me."

Ba'er really cried, and said pitifully, "Don't talk nonsense! I was just trying to scare you. I'm a good person!"

In his desperation, he even blurted out, "I'm a good person."

A group of police officers burst into laughter. They were all professionally trained and generally wouldn't laugh, no matter how funny it was, unless they couldn't help it...

Petty theft wouldn't alarm the station chief, so any random police officer could handle it.

The fat man went upstairs to the police officer's office. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the police officer looked up, his gaze sharp as if he were interrogating a criminal!

After recognizing the fat man, he exclaimed with some surprise, "It's you, kid!"
