"I had put the bacon and salted fish out in the yard in the morning. After lunch, I took a nap and when I woke up, I found they had been stolen. It was between one and two o'clock."
"I just asked the neighbors in the front yard, and no outsiders came to our yard this afternoon, so it's likely that someone in our yard took it by mistake. It's normal to show off some New Year's goods during the New Year. If you take it out, I won't blame you. If you don't confess, I will report it to the police."
After hearing what Yan Bugui said, everyone present couldn't help but murmur.
The bacon and salted fish were stolen between one and two o'clock. The thief was obviously familiar with the third uncle, or he had been scouting the area.
"Is it necessary to hold a meeting for the whole hospital just because some bacon and salted fish were lost? I think they must have been taken away by wild cats and dogs. There are still a lot of salted fish anyway, so why report it to the authorities? The police are too lazy to deal with such matters." Seeing that others were talking, Jia Dongxu muttered a few words to himself.
The murmur was not loud, and Yan Bugui did not hear it, but it was heard by Xu Damao who had been staring at Jia Dongxu.
Ouch?
There's something wrong with this kid!
As soon as he learned that Yan Bugui’s bacon was stolen, Xu Damao subconsciously suspected that it was Jia Dongxu who did it. There was no way, the Jia family had a criminal record, so he had to suspect it.
So Xu Damao shouted directly at Jia Dongxu, "Jia Dongxu, what do you mean by 'I don't care about this matter'? This is called theft, it's a crime. Even if it's just a pair of insoles, we have to find the person. Otherwise, how can we, with so many people in our hospital, celebrate the New Year peacefully?"
"Tell me, did you steal the Third Master's bacon and salted fish?"
Yan Bugui didn't understand why Xu Damao suddenly attacked Jia Dongxu. He thought it was just one of Xu Damao's usual annoyances to Jia Dongxu, so he said, "Maybe he took the wrong thing. Think about it, everyone. If he really took the wrong thing, just return it. We're all neighbors in the same courtyard. If they find out, we won't be able to celebrate the New Year in peace."
Seeing that no one had admitted it for a long time, Liu Haizhong cleared his throat and said, "Since no one took it by mistake, this behavior is theft. Does anyone have any clues? Who was hanging around in the front yard between one and two o'clock?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the voices of the people present became much louder, and they mentioned everyone who appeared in the front yard during this period of time.
But there were really too many people. Apart from the original residents of the front yard, there were still a dozen or so people who had been to the front yard. There was no way around it, as the courtyard only had one gate and one had to pass through the middle yard to go out.
Yan Bugui carefully memorized the name, then added, "I asked Chen Jun to make the bacon. The bacon he makes tastes different from the ones you buy outside. It's very fragrant. You can just borrow a dog from the police and find it."
"But I still hope you'll return it on your own initiative. I can still treat it as a mistake."
My goodness, even after talking to this point, no one still admits it.
have to!
Yan Bugui sighed in disappointment and waved to Yan Jiecheng: "Since no one took it by mistake, Jiecheng, go report it to the police and let them investigate."
"Okay, I'll go now!" Yan Jiecheng nodded vigorously.
He and Yu Li had been thinking about this bacon for a long time. They would go to check it almost every day, just waiting to taste it during the Chinese New Year.
But who would have thought that before their family could even eat a bite, the bacon was stolen, and not a single piece was left. It was so shameless.
Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was really going to report to the police, Jia Dongxu immediately tugged at the corner of Qin Huairu's clothes.
Qin Huairu subconsciously looked down at Jia Dongxu, and then was stunned.
What does it mean?
Did you do this?
Qin Huairu was stunned. She was just wondering if there was another petty thief in the courtyard. If so, it would be good for the reputation of the Jia family.
If something was lost in the yard, everyone would suspect the Jia family. This feeling made Qin Huairu very uncomfortable.
But who would have thought that at this critical moment, Jia Dongxu tugged at her clothes, the meaning of which was self-evident.
No, just admit what you did, why are you pulling my clothes?
Let me take the blame?
Qin Huairu pretended not to understand Jia Dongxu's hint and deliberately asked loudly: "What's the matter, Dongxu, why are you pulling my clothes?"
Swish~
Everyone in the yard looked at Jia Dongxu.
Being stared at by so many people, no matter how thick-skinned Jia Dongxu was, he felt like being pricked by needles.
"Well, I want to find Qin Huairu to confirm whether she brought the wrong salted fish this afternoon."
"Third uncle, you know that Qin Huairu is clumsy at work and often takes the wrong things. Qin Huairu, please say something!!"
As he spoke, Jia Dongxu winked at Qin Huairu frantically.
Qin Huairu's face turned red. She had just guessed that Jia Dongxu wanted her to take the blame, but she still felt uncomfortable hearing these words from Jia Dongxu's mouth.
She didn't want to take the blame, nor did she want to be scolded by Jia Dongxu. After thinking about it, she simply pouted, her eyes instantly turned red, and then she began to wipe her tears with her head down, looking like she had been wronged.
Good job!
Seeing Qin Huairu's reaction, everyone present immediately understood what was going on.
This son of a bitch Jia Dongxu is so shameless. He dares to do things but not to take responsibility. When the last minute comes, he takes the blame for it with his own wife. He is really not a man.
"Oh my, oh my, this is the first time I've seen someone with such a thick skin." Xu Damao naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to mock Jia Dongxu. He smiled crookedly and walked up to Jia Dongxu, looking him up exaggeratedly. Finally, he said with a click of his tongue, "Why, your two legs are crippled, is that thing crippled too? Otherwise, why are you so unmanly?"
"Eunuch Jia! From now on I will call you Eunuch Jia."
Previously, Jia Dongxu used Xu Juehu to humiliate Xu Damao, and today Xu Damao finally got the chance to take revenge.
Eunuch Jia, if this reputation gets out, no matter whether Jia Dongxu is really disabled or not, the rumors about him outside will not be good.
Eunuch Jia?
When Jia Dongxu heard this name, he wanted to jump out of his wheelchair, then grabbed Xu Damao's hair and slapped him hard on the mouth with the sole of his shoe.
"Nonsense, I'm normal!!" Jia Dongxu fought back angrily.
But Xu Damao seemed not to hear it. He turned around and returned to his previous position, shaking his head, and kept muttering about Eunuch Jia.
"Jia Dongxu, if you stole it, just admit it. Is your uncle going to send you to jail on New Year's Day?" Liu Haizhong also looked down on Jia Dongxu's behavior. He knocked on the table and continued, "Qin Huairu, go return the bacon and salted fish to the uncle. This matter is over."
Qin Huairu wiped her tears and choked back, "Second Uncle, I don't know about this, and I don't know where the bacon and salted fish are hidden."
