The fat man grinned mischievously: "Let's make a bet..."
Upon hearing about the bet, Yu Li's ears turned red. This brat of a brother was always finding ways to make bets with her!
Today I'll give her a few coins, tomorrow a cup, the day after tomorrow I'll perform a magic trick for her... Anyway, Yu Li never wins.
Every time I lose, I can't back out! I have to accept the consequences of my bet and am forced to fulfill the agreement in a humiliating way.
They arrived at the vegetable cellar quickly, and before the fat man even got close, they heard Xu Damao shout, "Yan Jiecheng, you've got him captured!"
The third uncle pushed through the crowd and went up to take a look. He nodded in satisfaction: "Our eldest son is quite clever. Xu Damao is right. This way, the person can't escape."
Everyone who saw the iron lock on their doorknobs looked on with a sudden realization.
Yan Jiecheng was the only one who wanted to sunbathe his dog. When he arrived, the cellar door was already locked, so it wasn't his business.
The fat man's face turned purple from holding it in. Yan Jiecheng was so adorable, eagerly offering to take the blame for him.
He wore gloves when he locked the door, so even if the police came to examine his fingerprints, they wouldn't find any evidence.
The third uncle slapped Yan Jiecheng: "What are you all standing there for? Quickly open the cellar, all of you turn on your flashlights, go down and drag him out!"
Yan Jiecheng looked completely bewildered: "Dad, but I don't have the key."
Li Xianying pulled him behind her, saying, "At a time like this, why are you still using a key? Why not just pry it open?"
After saying that, he inserted the fire tongs into the door lock and pried it open with force, causing the lock to fall to the ground.
Yan Jiecheng took the lead, and five flashlights shone down in unison.
The photo shows Yi Zhonghai in disheveled clothes. His cotton-padded coat has been taken off, his sweater is half off, and the buttons on his shirt underneath are not yet fastened. It looks like he hastily pulled his pants up!
While Yan Jiecheng and the others were still in shock, they heard Yi Zhonghai say to them, "Don't come in, there are lice in the cellar."
Yan Jiecheng and Li Xianying exchanged a glance. Lice? So small, really?
At this moment, Yan Bugui arrived.
Using the flashlight's beam, he could see the person inside clearly and exclaimed, "Old Yi! It really is you?"
Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "This is bad!" Before he could even try to explain, Yan Bugui said, "Jie Cheng, you all go down there quickly, catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, catch the adulterer and catch them red-handed! Under no circumstances can they be allowed to come out!"
Yi Zhonghai's vision went black, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood...
Li Xianying, not wanting to miss out on the excitement, didn't even bother to climb the steps and jumped down directly.
Yi Zhonghai knew this was his last chance, and while scratching, he tried to go up.
But he was the big boss of the court, especially when that old bastard was the big boss of the court, he was very good at playing both sides and made Li Xianying and the others suffer a lot.
Now that they had a chance, they quickly shone a flashlight in his face, causing Yi Zhonghai to raise his arms to block it.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Jiecheng came down with five or six men.
A moment later, the people outside the cellar heard Xu Damao shout, "Qin Huairu, I see you!"
"..."
The fat man leaned against Yu Li, and the expressions on their faces were more interesting than any movie or TV series.
For example, Jia Zhangshi yelled and tried to rush forward, but her third aunt spread her arms wide and blocked her firmly outside, just like an eagle catching a chick.
The two of them, one playing the fat eagle and the other the plump hen, complemented each other perfectly.
For example, Huaihua's little face turned deathly pale, while Xiaodang's expression was a mixture of shame and anger; Fatty whispered in Yu Li's ear, "Xiaodang is alright, she has a pretty good set of values."
Yu Li was very familiar with this term! "Three views" refers to one's worldview, values, and outlook on life; Fatty kept emphasizing to her that he should instill the correct three views in Chen Mengqi, and she was so tired of hearing it that her ears were practically calloused.
Now that the fat man is saying this about Xiao Dang, Yu Li immediately understands. What he's saying is that Xiao Dang doesn't hate Qin Huairu because of her relationship with her, doesn't wish her dead, and isn't gloating like Xu Damao at this critical juncture!
Then look at that middle-aged woman; her old face was practically hidden away...
Fatty suddenly remembered that she died of a sudden heart attack in the TV series, and quickly said to Yu Li, "I heard that an older woman has heart disease, you should go and keep an eye on her."
Yu Li, without suspecting anything, quickly went over and helped the older woman to the side.
Seeing that someone was finally paying attention to her, the middle-aged woman burst into tears, and Yu Li quietly comforted her from the side.
In an instant, those who had come to watch the spectacle were filled with compassion.
Only Yan Bugui remained unmoved: "What are you all dawdling about down there? Bring the people up here right now! That idiot Zhu, you go down too."
Sha Zhu glared at him: "Why should I? I'm a director, why should I take your orders!"
Sending him down to arrest an old man—Yan Bugui really came up with something.
Yan Bugui was infuriated by Sha Zhu again. The two of them had been at odds ever since the fish-selling incident.
But it doesn't matter that the Third Uncle can't command Sha Zhu, because Liu Haizhong is still there!
They smashed his windows, threw stones at his face, made him break a stool, and humiliated him...
Liu Haizhong pushed his way to the front, shouting, "Yi Zhonghai! You, you, you put down your weapons and surrender!"
The fat man couldn't hold back any longer and was the first to burst out laughing.
Laughter erupted from the crowd, making Liu Haizhong tremble with anger. The second aunt pointed at everyone and shouted, "You!"
Yi Zhonghai's resistance was doomed to failure.
Yan Jiecheng and the others would consider his status as an old man, but Benlei Hu wouldn't.
Ben Lei Hu stepped forward and twisted Yi Zhonghai's arm behind his back, then dragged him out of the cellar.
In the crowd, people saw Yi Zhonghai, disheveled and holding up his pants with one hand, and immediately erupted in uproar.
Everyone's attention was focused on the cellar entrance. Accompanied by a woman's curses, Xu Damao grabbed Qin Huairu by the hair and yanked her out.
Just like Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu was disheveled, and her cotton trousers were worn crookedly!
Unable to swallow her pride any longer, Jia Zhangshi rolled her eyes and collapsed, trembling.
His third aunt, no longer caring about arguing with her, shouted, "Something terrible has happened! Help!"
Little Locust Flower was the first to rush over and shove her away, yelling, "Get out of my way!"
But she wasn't strong enough; how could such a small person lift Jia Zhangshi, who weighed 150 or 160 pounds?
At the crucial moment, someone lent a helping hand. Huaihua turned her head sharply and saw that it was Xiaodang. Then she turned her head back expressionlessly. Her two granddaughters helped their grandmother up with difficulty and left without looking back.
Yu Li clung to the fat man's shoulders, stood on tiptoe to take a closer look, and then whispered in his ear, "Qin Huairu was indeed disheveled, now the evidence is conclusive!"
