After the stranger left, Li Chengfeng sat on the chair with a worried look on his face, staring blankly into the distance. Li Yichen came over and asked, "Second Grandpa, why did you borrow money from a loan shark?"
Li Chengfeng shook his head regretfully. "Alas, it was all my fault. I saw an opportunity to make money and thought I'd take a chance, but I ended up losing it all."
Li Yichen lowered his head and smiled softly. Even at this time, Second Grandpa still didn't tell the truth. He clearly lost it in gambling, but he still said it was a failed investment. Only then would Grandpa believe him. He was going to ask Grandpa for money again this time. Otherwise, where would he get it?
Forget it, he is a junior, I can't control him too much, I should focus all my energy on moving. Moving out as soon as possible after the New Year is the most important thing.
Li Yichen is not a talkative person, so he doesn't care about this matter. It has nothing to do with him anyway.
After breakfast, he went to the roast duck restaurant to queue up to buy roast duck, which he would use for offering sacrifices tomorrow.
I haven't been back for a few years, and Kyoto has changed a lot. There are many new buildings, and the city bus has added several new routes.
Li Yichen was walking home with a freshly baked roast duck in his hand, and he couldn't help but feel deeply moved by the changes in this city.
When I got home, I put the roast duck in the basket hanging in the kitchen. This basket was there when my grandmother was still alive. At that time, if we had some delicious food at home, we were afraid that it would be eaten by mice at night, so we put the food in the basket and hung it up. Later, this basket was used for decades and it has been there ever since.
After putting the roast duck away and returning to his room, Li Yichen noticed someone coming in as soon as he entered the room.
What does Li Yichen do? He's a special forces soldier. How could he not know if someone had entered the house or if anything had been moved?
His room was simple, with two wardrobes, a desk, and a bookshelf. Li Yichen checked everything thoroughly. When he returned from the army, he took out eight hundred yuan, thinking he would give two hundred to Grandpa for Chinese New Year, another two hundred to Fifth Grandpa when Shui Shui's family returned from Shanghai, buy some gifts for Jiang Huashu and his wife, and then take Shui Shui out to buy clothes and eat.
I gave grandpa two hundred yuan last night, and today he took one hundred yuan away to buy roast duck, so the remaining five hundred yuan is gone.
There are people who can come into the house at any time and steal money. They are thieves.
The clothes in the closet were thoroughly turned over. Although they were restored to their original state, Li Yichen knew what his own clothes looked like. In another closet, two thick quilts, one thin quilt, and two mattresses were also turned over, probably to see if there was any money inside. Anyway, this whole room was turned over.
Li Yichen's face darkened instantly. This was no longer a simple theft; someone was clearly provoking him, or perhaps testing his limits. He sat quietly by the bed, pondering the ins and outs of the matter.
Li Yichen took a deep breath and decided that he couldn't just let this go. His first thought was his second grandfather, Li Chengfeng. Li Chengfeng had lost all his money gambling and had to borrow money from a loan shark to pay off his debts. But the loan shark wanted him back the next day, and he couldn't afford it. So he came up with a plan: stealing to reduce his debt.
Li Yichen decided to hold back for now, he had to find solid evidence to silence Li Chengfeng. He began to pay attention to Li Chengfeng's every move, trying to find some clues.
While Li Chengfeng was plucking pig hair in the yard, Li Yichen quietly sneaked into his room. He carefully searched every corner and finally found a roll of banknotes under the mattress. It was the five hundred yuan he had lost.
