Liu Haizhong glared angrily at Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, you know I'm the second oldest man in the courtyard! Look at Jia Zhangshi, she barged into my house for no reason, kicked down my door, and..."
She even overturned my table! So what if I don't hit her? How am I supposed to save face then?! Yi Zhonghai, you tell me!
Liu Haizhong, enraged, completely abandoned his previous polite words and directly called Yi Zhonghai by his full name in front of everyone.
Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's account, Yi Zhonghai glanced helplessly at Jia Zhangshi. How could Jia Zhangshi always cause him so much trouble? "Aunt Jia, what did Old Liu do to offend you that you would do such a thing!"
Qin Huairu understood Yi Zhonghai's words and immediately cried out, "I don't know either! Maybe our coal and cabbage are missing again, and my mother-in-law is just anxious."
"No matter how anxious you are, you can't do it like this," Yi Zhonghai complained.
Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Liu Haizhong was furious. "You're bringing up coal and cabbage again? Are you trying to extort money again? Bah! Who stole your cabbage? Are you addicted to extorting money? Let me tell you, I've already said I don't want your stinky cabbage!"
"Yes, Second Uncle, I know you earn a lot and don't care about it, but you've stolen it twice already! This little bit of food may not be important to you, but for us orphans and widows, it's life-saving food! Waaaaah!"
Qin Huairu started crying again, and her pitiful cries made everyone feel incredibly sorry for her.
"Yes, Second Uncle, you can't bully people like this!" "That's right, Second Uncle, the Jia family, with their orphans and widows, isn't having an easy time either. You can't go too far!"
The onlookers also voiced their criticism! Ma Hua, watching from behind, laughed heartily, saying, "Serves him right, it's good that they fought."
Upon hearing this, the second uncle stomped his feet in anger and roared at the onlookers, "What do you know? Who stole it? Do you really think I'm a family of thieves like the Jia family? I said I didn't take it, and that's final!"
My second aunt just gave me a meaningful look; I definitely don't have any at home.
"Second Uncle, you can't say that! If word gets out, how will our family of orphans and widows survive?" Qin Huairu continued her performance.
But when everyone heard what the second uncle said, they immediately hesitated. They knew the Jia family's character all too well. If it weren't for Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai protecting them, they would have been beaten out of the hospital long ago.
"Liu Haizhong, what nonsense are you spouting? I think you're just jealous that Sister Qin's family is doing well. Ugh, disgusting!" Sha Zhu spat from the side. Liu Haizhong actually dared to insult his Sister Qin! Just wait and see how I deal with you later!
"Pah, do you think I'm like you? I'm telling you, I said I didn't steal, and I mean it. Go ahead and search if you don't believe me!" Liu Haizhong pointed directly to the area under the window.
Madam Jia snorted coldly: "You think you can just say you don't have it? I have to go and see for myself!"
When Jia Zhangshi finished searching, she was dumbfounded. There was indeed nothing there. Could it be that she had guessed wrong? No way, how was she going to handle this? She still insisted, "Who knows, maybe they hid it somewhere else?"
Liu Haizhong was furious when he heard Jia Zhangshi say that.
It was Yi Zhonghai who spoke up: "Aunt Jia, Old Liu's things are all here. You can't just talk nonsense. Also, you can search our yard as you like. I want to see who dares to be so bold!"
Yi Zhonghai was furious. His own house was also stolen. He never expected that the thief would be so bold as to commit such a crime!
Jia Zhangshi, her face dark, searched the courtyard but found nothing. Ma Hua chuckled to himself, "How could we possibly find it? It's all in the ring on my hand!"
Your Jia family has leeched off the steel mill so much thanks to Sha Zhu. When I start working, I'll help you pay it back. Consider this me doing you a good deed.
{The money received from Yi Zhonghai's family was long ago returned to the steel mill by Ma Hua. Yi Zhonghai isn't a good person either. It was taken from the factory, so it should be used for the factory. Yi Zhonghai has such high moral standards; he would definitely agree. Besides, this is also a contribution to the factory's development.}
Frustrated by the lack of clues in the courtyard, the villagers had no choice but to call the police. The police searched and questioned the villagers for a long time, but to no avail. They were also puzzled.
Logically speaking, there should always be people in the courtyard during the day. If someone were to come and steal, the people in the courtyard should have seen it!
But if it was someone from inside the courtyard who committed the crime, there was nothing there. They had also searched around the courtyard walls, but found no trace. In the end, they could only make a brief note and leave disappointed.
Unfortunately, things have escalated to this point, and it's no longer a matter of apologizing to each other. Liu Haizhong's face is now so gloomy it's almost dripping with water. Who is he? The Second Uncle of the Siheyuan!
I knew I was in the wrong when Jia Zhangshi came to my door to scold me the first two times. Today, she came into my house and overturned the table. If I just let it go like this, what will become of my authority if people find out? How can I be a leader then?
Yi Zhonghai is now in a dilemma. In the end, it's all Jia Zhangshi's fault. But seeing Jia Zhangshi's current state, Yi Zhonghai is also having a headache!
Not only was Liu Haizhong upset, but Jia Zhangshi was also devastated. So many things had been stolen from her home for no apparent reason. She had initially thought Liu Haizhong had stolen them so she could extort a large sum of money, but now everything was gone for good.
Which heartless bastard stole those yellow mud honeycomb briquettes mixed with coal? Didn't they know they couldn't be lit?!
After so much time, Jia Zhangshi's mind gradually cleared. After thinking for a moment, she collapsed to the ground and said, "Old Jia, come up and take a look!"
"I simply can't live like this! Dongxu, why did you leave so soon! Leaving us orphans and widows to be bullied by everyone, please take us away! I can't live anymore! I just can't go on living like this!"
