In the morning, Yan Fugui went to check on the fish he kept in the basin. As he walked, he was still thinking in his mind that he had fish to eat every day in the past half month.
Yan Fugui came to the fish basket outside the door and counted the number of fish carefully. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He counted again carefully and found that the number of fish was obviously less by two.
Yan Fugui's face turned pale instantly. He couldn't believe his eyes. These fish were his hard work. He suffered so much and was almost beaten, just for these fish. But now, how could there be two fewer fish?
Various possibilities began to emerge in his mind. Did someone steal his fish? So he immediately ran back to the house to look for Auntie, hoping that Auntie had dealt with the fish instead of throwing it away.
"Did you move the fish we put there last night?" Yan Fugui asked the third aunt nervously.
The third aunt shook her head in confusion and said, "No, I haven't touched it since I put it there. I plan to clean it up during the day and make food in the evening."
The third aunt looked at the flustered Yan Fugui and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
"Fish...our fish seems to be lost!" Yan Fugui said, pointing at the fish basket outside.
"No way?" When the third aunt heard what Yan Fugui said, she hurried out.
Yan Fugui and the three aunts came to the basin where the fish were placed.
"Look, are there two missing? And they are the two biggest ones." Yan Fugui widened his eyes, and the blue veins on his forehead were about to burst.
He pointed at the basin containing the fish and roared angrily, "Look! Are there two missing?"
The third aunt didn’t pay attention to how many fish there were last night, but seeing Yan Fugui’s expression, he didn’t seem to be faking it.
"How could it be lost?" Auntie Three was also a little confused about the situation.
"It must be some bastard who stole it from me. Don't let me find this son of a bitch." Yan Fugui was so angry that he was fuming.
The third aunt urged: "Go to work first, and check it when you come back, otherwise you will miss the class."
"Okay, then I'll go first. I'll see if I can change classes and come back earlier." Yan Fugui was still thinking about his fish.
"Go, go." The third aunt was also staring at the fish and pondering.
Yan Fugui just went out with his bag and came back.
He came up to the third aunt and whispered, "Go around the yard later and see whose house smells of fish. Then you will definitely be able to catch them."
"Okay, got it. I'll go around and talk to you later." The third aunt nodded in agreement.
After Yan Fugui left, the third aunt casually walked around the front and back yards.
Lin Tian saw the three aunts gathering at the door of each house. When they arrived at their own house, Lin Tian opened the door and greeted them.
"Three Aunties, taking a stroll."
This greeting scared the three aunts.
"Oh, Xiaolin, I'm fine, just taking a walk." After explaining, the third aunt hurriedly left the backyard.
"What's going on?" Wang Bingbing asked behind Lin Tian.
"I don't know. The three aunts are sneaking around from house to house and I don't know what they are doing." Lin Tian shook his head and said.
Lin Tian continued, "It looks like he's looking for something."
"What are you looking for?" Wang Bingbing asked.
"How would I know? Hurry up and pack up and go to work, otherwise you'll be late again. Ever since you started riding your bike to work, you've been getting later and later every day." Lin Tian turned around and pushed Wang Bingbing.
The third aunt was just walking around casually. No one would steal fish and cook it so early in the morning.
When everyone was chatting in the yard during the day, the usually talkative aunt didn't say a word today. Instead, she looked at everyone carefully, thinking that everyone looked like someone who had stolen her fish.
Unfortunately, still nothing was gained.
In the afternoon, Yan Fugui skipped work and came back early.
"Why did you come back so early today? Don't you have classes?" The third aunt asked Yan Fugui who suddenly returned home.
"How can I concentrate on attending classes at school when such a big thing happened at home? I missed the afternoon class with my colleagues and told them that something happened at home," said Yan Fugui.
Then Yan Fugui asked again: "Did you find anything during the day?"
"No, I didn't see anyone messing with the fish." Auntie shook her head and said.
"I'll go out for a walk." Yan Fugui seemed to have suddenly thought of something, put down the bag in his hand and pushed the door open to go out.
The third aunt just stood there in a daze, watching Yan Fugui rush out the door.
"These fish may not be cooked and eaten directly, but the dirt they use to clean the fish must be thrown away. I'll go rummage through the garbage pile, and maybe I'll find out who stole them." Yan Fugui said muttering to himself as he walked out quickly.
But when he walked to the garbage dump, Yan Fugui was a little dumbfounded.
You should know that the garbage in the compound is thrown into the same place, and the garbage point that Yan Fugui went to is a common place for several nearby compounds.
Looking at the flies and mosquitoes buzzing around and the mountain of garbage, Yan Fugui felt scared.
But Yan Fugui thought again about the two big fish he had lost, and decided to flip it after gritted his teeth.
Yan Fugui found a stick not far away and started picking up the garbage.
However, Yan Fugui is still somewhat famous in the nearby streets, after all, he is a teacher in the school.
So when someone comes and sees Yan Fugui picking up garbage here, they will say hello to Yan Fugui.
"Teacher Yan, what are you doing here?"
Yan Fugui could only laugh dryly and said, "Something was accidentally thrown away as garbage at home. I came here to look around and see if I can find it."
Although Yan Fugui was very careful about hygiene, he still inevitably got himself covered in garbage when picking through the trash.
After searching for more than an hour, Yan Fugui found nothing.
It was just a bit miserable for Yan Fugui to be discovered. It was the time for throwing away garbage, and everyone who came by would say hello to Yan Fugui.
In the end, Yan Fugui had no choice but to give up looking for clues in the garbage dump.
"Oh, how did you do this?" The third aunt asked in surprise when she saw Yan Fugui coming back smelling bad.
"Don't mention it, just get me some water to wash." Yan Fugui even felt disgusted with himself at this time.
After finally washing himself clean, Yan Fugui felt like he was alive again and began to breathe heavily.
"What should we do with those two fish?" Yan Fugui and the third aunt were sitting in the house, and the third aunt asked Yan Fugui.
"I definitely have to look for him. Is it easy for me to catch two fish? When I cook tonight, I'll go and take a look. I don't believe that he stole the fish back and just left it there without eating it." Yan Fugui said hatefully.
