Old Lady Yu tiptoed to Courtyard No. 44. The courtyards in their area were basically similar in layout, so she was familiar with the way. She pushed open the door, and sure enough, it was not locked.
Nowadays, few people lock their doors. She felt that her plan was very wise. She walked quietly into the yard. It was quiet in the yard. It was really late at night. It was impossible for someone to be wandering around in the yard.
She patted her chest and felt not worried at all.
She looked around and found the location of the Zhuang family, but there was no clothes hanging outside the window. She frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. Fortunately, she didn't have to steal the Zhuang family's clothes. Her eyes fell on the bamboo poles in the yard where clothes were hung. These were clothes hung out by Wang Xiangxiu's family.
There were children's clothes hanging in the yard. When the children put on the clothes, they could see the big patches on them. Old Mrs. Yu snorted and pulled the clothes into her arms. Although she stole the clothes, she was not satisfied and quickly ran to the backyard. Unexpectedly, there were even fewer clothes hanging in the backyard.
There were only two large pairs of shorts hanging in the yard. She pulled them into her arms without hesitation.
Old Lady Yu's eyes fell on the chickens in the yard. You know, because of the trend in this area, almost every household raised two chickens. Only her family had never raised chickens because they couldn't reach an agreement on who worked and who ate the eggs.
Old Mrs. Yu swallowed her saliva, as if she could taste the deliciousness of the stewed chicken.
This chicken is a good thing, it's especially delicious.
Mrs. Yu decided almost instantly to steal a chicken to take home. Chicken stewed with mushrooms is the most delicious. She drooled and walked out decisively. Of course, she didn't stop stealing, but she wanted to take the old hen from the farmer.
This is not a personal grudge. If it were a personal grudge, she would hate Bai Fighting the most.
She heard that the farmer's hens were the fattest, so if she was going to steal, she would steal the fattest one. Well, she liked to eat chicken butts.
Old Mrs. Yu came to the front yard and ran towards the triumphal chicken coop. She smiledantly and ferociously and stretched out her hand - it was a quiet night, hot and windless, and the old hen was sleeping, but suddenly she felt a gust of malicious wind.
"Cuckoo!" The old hen jumped up and pecked at the hen. Old Mrs. Yu gasped and cried out.
As soon as she screamed, she quickly covered her mouth. At this time, she didn't care about anything else. She just grabbed the old hen and ran away quickly.
"Catch the thief!"
A shout rang out.
Old Mrs. Yu was so frightened that she stumbled and almost fell. She tried to calm herself down and continued to run outside. Before she reached the door, she saw people coming out of several houses. Zhao Guihua picked up a bench and threw it over. The bench fell to the ground with a thud, but the distance was a bit far so it didn't hit anyone.
Although she didn't get hit, Old Lady Yu fell down with a bang.
"Catch the chicken thief!"
Bai Fendou had already come out, and he kicked the man several times. Nowadays, everyone hates thieves. If you meet a thief, you will beat him up immediately. Even they are no exception.
The people in the yard rushed out and grabbed Old Lady Yu without thinking, starting to beat her up with punches and kicks.
Old Mrs. Yu: "Ahhh. It's me, it's me..."
"I don't care who you are, you thief."
"This damn chicken thief."
"Ah, you're here to watch me steal chickens."
There are too many people, and it's hard to squeeze in.
"Hey wait, why does this pair of shorts look so familiar?" Aunt Wang came from the backyard, but she was a little late and couldn't squeeze into the front row to beat the thief. But she reached out to pull the person, and unexpectedly pulled out a pair of large shorts.
She took a closer look and immediately became angry: "Fuck you! You even stole my old man's pants! You old rascal!"
"Ah? Why do you even steal my underwear?"
"What a wicked thing this is."
Everyone was discussing this when Wang Xiangxiu suddenly turned around and said angrily, "Ah, my son's clothes are gone too!"
"What? Stealing clothes?"
"A thief never leaves empty-handed!"
"There's a thief, a big thief!"
"Go find the police station!"
When Old Lady Yu heard this, she screamed. She was beaten like a pig and her mouth was full of blood. She screamed, "I, I, I, I am Old Lady Yu."
At this time, everyone also looked at this person. Mingmei shone the flashlight in her hand directly on this person's face, and then said: "It really is her."
"Ah, I didn't expect you to come and steal things from your neighbor."
"It's really true that it's hard to prevent thieves at home. I thought it was someone from outside who came to steal things, but I didn't expect it was someone from the same street. How could you do such a thing, you wicked thing."
"That's right, you even stole someone's pants..."
Aunt Wang noticed the other pair of pants and said, "This is mine!"
She was so angry that she said, "You old lady Yu, you bastard, you stole things from my house and even stole my husband's underwear. You took mine and then my man's! You bastard..."
Seeing this, Chef Li felt extremely ashamed. He covered his face and squatted, howling: "My face is gone. This woman is not kind to me. She stole my pants..."
Old Mrs. Yu: “I, I, I…” She racked her brains and shouted, “I accidentally took the wrong path. Yes, yes, yes, I came out to the toilet and accidentally took the wrong path.”
"Bah, you took the wrong path? You have to have someone believe you. Who would take the wrong path and steal clothes, pants, and chickens? Ah, these are my chickens...you actually stole my chickens!" She was so angry that she slapped him twice in the face.
This old hen that can lay eggs immediately costs four or five dollars.
Although the general price outside is two yuan, that is for eating immediately. This kind of chicken can lay eggs immediately and lay eggs steadily every day. It is a good chicken that is in short supply and hard to buy.
This is considered a "valuable item".
Zhao Guihua: "You damned bastard, what hatred do you have with my family? Your son almost killed my son, and now you are stealing my chicken? I think you, an old lady, have bad intentions, you are..."
"Revenge!" Lan Sihai replied from the side.
Zhao Guihua: "Yes, retaliation."
She said angrily, "Your son was killed by lightning because he did something bad, and you are still blaming our victim? You even came to our house to steal chickens? How can you be so heartless!"
Aunt Wang: "Son-in-law, go notify the police."
"OK!"
Yang Lixin hurried out.
Old Mrs. Yu: "Ah. Don't call the police. No, I..."
She started to run, but Bai Fendou held her down because he was closest to the door.
"Please spare me, I've already been beaten..."
"No, they must be severely punished! Otherwise, everyone will think that people in our compound are easy to bully!" Aunt Wang shouted.
Even though she likes to make light of things when there are problems in their compound, it is "a family matter". But now that it involves someone from outside, it is a different matter. This person is not from their compound, and there is no reputation problem.
Their compound was very noisy late at night, and people from the neighboring compounds heard the noise and came over to watch the fun.
Daqiang took Wang Zizhen with him.
At this time, Daqiang was amazed at his wife's ears, which were really sharp. The two were awakened by the noisy noise outside, and he hadn't reacted yet. His wife reacted immediately.
She grabbed Daqiang and said, "It was in the next yard. I heard Aunt Zhao's voice."
Daqiang: “???”
Really, he didn't hear anything, but his wife had already put on her clothes and shoes and was ready to leave, so he quickly put on his clothes and followed her. He couldn't let her, a pregnant woman, join in the fun alone.
I have to say, his wife's ears are really useful, it turned out to be the problem here.
However, it's not surprising, as their compound is the most troubled place in their area.
Daqiang: "Make way, make way, my dear, let's go."
Sure enough, there were a lot of people watching the fun.
Some people have already come to watch.
Daqiang used his tall and strong figure to clear the way for his wife to enter the yard.
At this time, everyone in the yard got up, and even the children stood at the door, rubbing their eyes and watching the excitement. Wang Zizhen came over and asked, "What's going on?"
Aunt Zhou: "We caught a chicken thief. He also stole clothes worth silver and copper, and also stole the pants of Aunt Wang and her husband."
Oh no!
Wang Zizhen looked at the old lady who stole things in surprise. She sighed, "She's still stealing things at such an old age!"
"Stealing doesn't matter your age."
"that is!"
"What do you mean by this?"
Everyone stood on tiptoe to watch the fun.
Seeing that she had no hope of escaping, Aunt Yu yelled, "You bastards, you must let me go, or I will let my son take care of you."
"Hey, you come here to steal things, and you dare to make threats loudly?"
"This is really not a good thing."
"Of course!"
"If you know what's best for you, just let me go. Otherwise, there are many children in your courtyard. Don't blame me for being ruthless...Ah!!!"
Zhao Guihua has several children at home, and she can't stand hearing such words. This person actually dared to use the children to make trouble. Without saying a word, she slapped him several times and cursed: "You old man, do you think our family is easy to bully? Time and time again, you bastard, dare to threaten others with the children? I will beat you to death!"
"Aunt Zhao, get out of the way!"
Wang Xiangxiu was also not polite. She went up to him, grabbed his hair and slapped him!
Ever since Jin Lai went to the juvenile detention center, Wang Xiangxiu has paid the most attention to her children. Now the old lady threatened them with the children in their compound, and Wang Xiangxiu couldn't resist. Not to mention, this man also stole their children's clothes. She didn't care about that. She just went up and slapped him hard, and beat him so hard that Old Lady Yu saw stars.
“You, you…”
"Fuck you! How dare you threaten others?"
Aunt Zhou and her group were not spared and rushed forward loudly.
All the families with children were angry.
You're saying something very hateful.
I have never seen such a shameless old man.
"Murder! You guys are going to kill someone! I, an old lady, feel wronged..."
"Why are you feeling wronged? Didn't you say so? Didn't you want to take revenge on the kids in our compound? Ah? I'm going to beat you to death today!"
I have to say that Aunt Yu really triggered a series of angry glares, and the crowd was very emotional.
After all, ordinary people would not do such a wicked thing.
There is no such thing here.
"Make way, everyone, make way, what's going on? Did you catch the chicken thief?"
At this time, the police finally arrived. When they saw him, they exclaimed, "This is too severe a beating."
"Comrade Public Security, this person deserves to be beaten! She threatened us, saying that if we don't let her go, she will harm the children in our compound. You know, every family has children, who can stand such words?"
Zhuang Zhixi immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to speak.
Even though he looked a little groggy from being drunk last night, he was quite sober after a good sleep.
He said: "She even stole a pair of pants. You said she stole things, so she stole things. Isn't this too indecent?"
The public security comrade frowned and looked at the old lady with disgust.
Of course it wasn’t because of the pants, but because of threatening people with the child.
These are all ordinary people. Who doesn’t have children? This statement is very hateful.
"I didn't say that. I didn't..." Old Mrs. Yu turned around and changed her words.
Zhuang Zhixi was not annoyed. He said, "Whether you said this or not, we all have ears. If you think the people in our compound are targeting you, there are so many people around. Look, there are also people from your own compound. So many people are watching. Whether you said this or not, everyone can speak up."
"Yes, this person said it."
"Mrs. Yu, why are you pretending? Didn't you just say you were going to deal with the kids in the yard?"
"You also said you wanted your son to take revenge..."
"That's right, why are you pretending now? Do you think we couldn't hear you?"
This thief is the most unpopular thing in this era.
You guys are really not polite at all.
After all, Aunt Yu lives in this alley, who knows if this is her first time. Besides, if she becomes addicted to stealing, what if she steals from other people's homes? How can we guard against thieves day and night?
"Comrades in the Public Security Bureau, you must deal with him seriously."
"That's right, this kind of person is unrepentant."
If it was a child, many people would probably let it go. After all, children are synonymous with being immature. But you are an adult, and you want to steal things at such an old age, and you want to threaten others after stealing things, which is too much.
That's extremely poor quality.
"Good old lady Yu, I told you it's not right! Public security comrade, I suspect this old lady stole my clothes a few days ago."
At this time, a woman squeezed out from the crowd and said, "My name is Cuifen. I live in the same yard with her. About last week, my clothes were lost when I hung them in the yard. I looked for them for a long time and almost called the police. At that time, she told me that it might have been blown away by the wind. Others also thought that it was not a new piece of clothing and it was not a big deal. So I just accepted it and didn't wear it again, but now I see that this is not right! Maybe my clothes were stolen by her too!"
"Oh, you lost it too?"
Cuifen: "Ah, how come your clothes are lost too?"
"No, what I had was not clothes, but a pair of shorts. I hung them outside at night and they disappeared. I was embarrassed to tell others..." This was also a female comrade in their compound.
"ah?"
"Is this girl a repeat offender?"
"Wait, wait a minute, I lost something too." The person who spoke up was neither from Zhao Guihua's yard nor Aunt Yu's yard, but she was also from this alley. She said, "I lost a vest, and I was embarrassed, so I didn't say anything."
"I...I have lost my socks." A male comrade also raised his hand.
"I've lost my pants too." Another male comrade raised his hand.
It's not that they don't want to ask the police to handle it, but the main reason is that the things they lost were small items and they were all underwear, which were not new. It was hard to say anything, so no one said much. But today, because they were caught in the act, everyone started to speak up.
"Who the hell are you? My pants have been stolen and are all covered with patches..." an old man said.
Public Security Comrade: “…”
Silence, just very silence.
They have handled many cases and have seen all kinds of strange things, but every time they come to this street, they can feel a different flavor. His mother is also a familiar face on this street.
But seeing this underwear thief, I was still speechless.
Zhao Guihua and the others didn't know what to say. They originally thought they had caught a weasel that stole chickens, but now it turned out that this was not a weasel, but a lingerie thief? Zhao Guihua stared at the old woman, sure that she must have done all these things.
Didn't you see it? This person's eyes were evasive, and it was obvious that he was afraid.
Even Zhao Guihua, an outsider, could see it, let alone the knowledgeable public security comrades.
"You know where his house is, right? Let's go over there and search it."
Aunt Yu screamed like a screaming chicken: "No! You can't come!"
Everyone's expression became subtle, and soon they said, "It really is you. You are such a bad person."
"Damn it. Give me my pants back!"
"Who are you?"
"You can't go, you can't go. I didn't steal, I didn't steal at all!" Old Mrs. Yu argued with a pig-like face.
However, there is no trust at all. Who can believe what this old guy says?
She looks like a good person.
"Walk!"
"No! I won't go!"
Aunt Yu rolled on the ground, but the police officers did not tolerate her and dragged her up.
Cuifen: "You guys come with me, she lives in the same yard as me."
She was so angry that she led everyone back at a brisk pace. Zhao Guihua and the others followed decisively. Zhuang Zhixi was smart and decisively caught the frightened old hen and put it back into the small fence, saying, "Be good, I'll go catch some insects for you to eat tomorrow."
"Coo, coo, coo!"
This was the agreement between Zhuang Zhixi and the old hen. Regardless of whether the old hen understood it or not, Zhuang Zhixi confirmed it.
He quickly caught up with everyone, and the group walked to a house at the end of the alley.
Cuifen: "Right here, police comrades, this is their home."
Despite the commotion outside, the Yu family was still able to sleep. Even the old man in Mrs. Yu's family was sleeping soundly. He was awakened by the knock on the door and cursed: "Who is it? I'm going to kill you. You're not sleeping in the middle of the night. What's the matter..."
The door creaked open and a group of people came out, led by a few public security comrades.
Old Man Yu stuttered for a moment: "What are you doing?"
His face turned pale instantly, and he said, "You, you, you, don't listen to other people's nonsense. My third son's wife and the fourth son are not in that kind of relationship. They are innocent, they are not having an affair, you can't wrongly accuse them!"
At this time, Brother Yu and Sister Yu also came out of the room and said, "Yes, Public Security Comrade, this is not the case. It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."
Public Security Comrade: “…”
Your house is such a mess.
They didn't come here to investigate this, but these people can self-destruct.
The people around were silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Public Security Comrade: "Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
He tried to calm down and said, "We came here because of the theft by Old Lady Yu."
"What!"
"Stealing?"
"She's not sleeping at home..." Before he could even finish his words, Old Man Yu suddenly realized that the old lady wasn't sleeping next to him. Could it be that the old lady had gone out to steal something? Look, not to mention outsiders, even their own family members were stunned. They had never expected this.
Old Man Yu stuttered quickly: "She, she, she, she is not that kind of person."
"She was caught red-handed."
"Well……"
"What on earth does this old lady want to do!"
"That's right! You'll die if you don't cause trouble!"
Yu Lao Da's wife and Yu Lao Er's wife were also speechless.
Is this old lady trying to bring disaster to the family? Cuifen didn't care what they said, and took the initiative to squeeze to the front and said, "The clothes I lost a few days ago were stolen by her, and other people also lost underwear and pants, which were all done by your mother-in-law! Get out of the way quickly, the police are coming to search."
"ah?"
Now the people in the Yu family were even more confused.
You steal things, and you specifically steal underwear? What kind of hobby is this? If you stole something valuable, it would be understandable, but what did you steal?
Everyone looked unhappy. The public security comrades didn't care about that and quickly went in. There were so many people living in the small Yu family home, and there were things everywhere, crowded. This situation was not easy to find.
Zhao Guihua pushed Aunt Yu into the door and said, "Hand it over yourself."
Aunt Yu was firm: "I didn't steal it."
She definitely couldn't admit it, she said: "I didn't steal at all. I admit that I went to your compound to steal things today, but other people's lost things have nothing to do with me, I didn't... Ugh!!!"
As he was speaking, he saw the public security comrades pulling a doll out from the crack in the wall.
Her throat seemed to be strangled and her voice stopped abruptly.
"Ah! This is my clothes, this material is my clothes..." Cuifen screamed, and she got so angry that she hit the man hard: "You bastard, my good clothes, why did you cut them for me! How can you be so wicked."
The public security comrades turned over the crudely made doll and saw the words "Chen Erniu" written crookedly on it.
He looked up and said, "Who is Chen Erniu?"
"Uh... this is his third daughter-in-law."
The public security comrade raised his eyebrows, and the other two daughters-in-law of the Yu family looked at each other and were speechless.
The public security comrades continued to dig along the hole in the wall and took out another one. It must be said that the old lady made dolls very poorly. The arms and legs were not the same length, and some were thick and some were thin. It was very poorly made.
But you can definitely tell that this is a rag doll.
He flipped it over with familiarity and saw: Zhou Daniu.
The handwriting is so bad that it needs to be separated.
He asked, "Who is Zhou Daniu?"
At this time, a strong man appeared. He was also from this yard, and like Daqiang, he was also in the loading and unloading team. He went up and saw that it was his name. No wonder he had been having trouble doing anything recently. It turned out that it was the old lady who did it!
He stepped forward and kicked Aunt Yu, knocking her down. "You old fool, are you cursing me?"
The public security comrades quickly stopped the man and said, "We are still investigating and will give you an explanation."
Zhou Daniu was so angry that he was panting like a cow.
Even though we talk about science and civilization nowadays, there are still many superstitious people. Making a doll with a name written on the back shows that it has bad intentions and makes people think of feudal superstition.
Everyone was silent, and the public security comrade continued: "Chen Baodi."
An old lady said grimly, "It's me."
The public security comrade nodded and said, "Well, you are from this courtyard too?"
The old lady shook her head: "I'm from the next yard."
The public security comrade glanced at Old Lady Yu, who was already afraid to speak, and continued to ask: "Guardian Hehua."
"It's me. I'm the manager of this courtyard."
Guan Hehua stared at Old Lady Yu. She didn't expect that she would even harm herself. She thought she had taken good care of their family. There were not many people in their family who were working, so every time there was any temporary work in the street, they, the housekeepers, would fight for the people in their own yard. She had always fought for the Yu family.
The public security comrade continued to look and found that there were no more in the cracks of the wall. The others also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she would not be a mean person to them. However, the public security comrade looked at Old Lady Yu and did not stop at all. He continued to look in other places and soon found three more on the beams. These three were obviously patched.
"Ah, that's made of my pants."
"The other one is made of my pants."
The public security comrade opened it and said, "Aunt Jiang's chicken."
The words are all crooked and scribbled, but you can barely make out what is written.
Second Aunt Jiang rushed forward angrily: "I was wondering why my chickens laid fewer eggs, it's all your fault..."
Tearing and beating people.
Others: “…”
It's very silent.
After all, they couldn't imagine why the old lady would curse even the chicken.
"Mr. Zhang's dog..."
"The old man who cleans the toilet."
The public security comrades were speechless. They had seen some weird things, but never such a weird one. Was this person sick? They found a few and continued. Sure enough, they found another seven or eight in the corner of the cabinet.
"In vain."
"Ah, that's made of my socks..."
Bai Fendou was shaking with anger: "They are all made of clothes! Why do you have to use socks when you make me? Old lady, do you look down on me? "
"You're the best. The uncle Huang who was sweeping the toilet just now was made of underpants."
"Yeah, and besides, this doll has to be stuffed with something, and it's possible that all of you are filled with underwear."
"No wonder we had to steal so many clothes, otherwise there wouldn't be enough fabric."
Public Security Comrade: "The inside of the doll is filled with sand."
Old Lady Yu whispered: "It would be such a waste if we stuffed all the stuff inside..."
"How dare you say that!"
"You really lack virtue."
Zhuang Zhixi: "It's me, it's me!"
"Ah, isn't this the rag that was lost in my house? I thought it was lost, but it turned out to be stolen!"
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Okay, after all it's not pants.
"Wang Xiangxiu?"
Wang Xiangxiu was angry: "Why am I here?"
She had no connection with this family, how could this old lady hate her? Wang Xiangxiu instantly felt that all the suffering she had experienced in the past year was caused by this old lady's curse. At this time, no one would think that so many dolls with people's names on them were for fun.
Who can't understand this?
This is a curse.
In fact, life is always full of ups and downs, but when you see this kind of thing, you will immediately attribute the bad things that happened to you to this matter, which really makes you very annoyed.
"You bastard!"
Wang Xiang is too delicate and starts hitting people as soon as she comes up.
"How can you be so wicked? What have I done to you? Do you want to curse me? You old hag! You..."
Public Security Comrade: "Pull this female comrade."
Aunt Wang and Zhao Guihua stepped forward to hold them back. Wang Xiangxiu burst into tears: "Their family is too bullying."
The public security comrade continued to look through the documents: "Workshop Director Zhang Jianshe."
"Oh no, I don't even know her, why is she cursing me?"
Old Mrs. Yu pouted and couldn't help but said, "Who told him not to promote my eldest son? He is at least capable of being a deputy director of a workshop."
Everyone: "Fuck."
Yu Laoda's eyes widened: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? You don't want me to get better, right? Why are you cursing at me?"
When Mrs. Yu saw that so many people were from the factory, she felt a black screen before her eyes and became so angry that she fainted.
"Ah... hurry up, carry the person over..."
"It's really hard to have such a mother..."
"Maybe he wants to be the deputy director of the workshop. Otherwise, how would the old lady know?"
“That’s right.”
Boss Yu's eyes were red, and he cried out: "I didn't! I didn't do it at all!~"
"Emma, don't cry!"
"Look who else is here!"
Public Security Comrade: "Zhang Baoguo, the director of the textile factory."
"Zhou Cheng, the head of the personnel department of the textile factory."
"Uncle Li, the gatekeeper at the textile factory, Li Aidang."
"A textile factory..."
After all this, there are quite a few people working in the textile factory.
“Why are there so many textile factories?”
"Have you forgotten? Yu Baoshan used to work at the textile factory. It was after he got into trouble that the textile factory didn't let the Yu family take over."
"That doesn't mean you need to curse it from head to toe, does it? No wonder there's not enough material."
"Yu Baoshan broke the law, so it's okay for the textile factory to fire him."
"That's right. Yu Baoshan didn't go to work before, but he took advantage of his status to occupy the job in the textile factory. They were very considerate. This is against the law and he should be fired."
"Of course!"
"The people in this textile factory are unlucky too. A curse is being cast from top to bottom..."
The public security comrades continued to look, and found nearly twenty-seven or eight rag dolls, most of which were made of pants, socks, underwear, and rags. The material of Cuifen's dress was considered good.
Public Security Comrade: "Okay, Mrs. Yu, come with us. You are not only stealing, but also practicing feudal superstition. Let's go!"
Old Lady Yu: "No, I won't go with you. I'm just a kid who scolds them when I have nothing to do. I'm not a believer in feudal superstition."
"What are you doing? Besides, all the materials you use to make dolls are stolen from other people. But you are smart enough to steal underwear..." As a public security officer, he could tell at a glance why the old lady was doing that.
Sure enough, Old Lady Yu whispered, "Stealing underwear is something most people are too embarrassed to say..."
“Fuck!”
“This is damn…”
"My fucking fist is hard!"
Old Lady Yu immediately said: "You can't hit me, you can't hit me! This thing is not worth anything..."
The public security comrade looked at the old lady with disgust and said, "It's not for you to judge whether it's worth money or not. Let's go."
"Ah, someone is killing me, help me, I won't leave..."
She rolled around on the spot, but it was useful. The public security comrades were not needed for anything.
Everyone quickly grabbed the person, and Old Man Yu hesitated whether to go forward to help. The public security comrade said directly: "You should come with us too. She is doing this at home. You must know it, right?"
"I don't know, I really don't know." Old Man Yu shouted, but his eyes flickered and it was obvious that he knew.
It's impossible for him not to know this. There are twenty-six or seven dolls in the family, and he is not blind.
The public security comrades did not listen to his excuses and said, "Let's go." They took him away directly.
Of course, as "stolen goods" and "evidence", all the dolls were taken away.
"What's going on?"
"There are bad people among our people."
"Oh no, she stole our things, so is it all for nothing?"
"That's right, pants are also made of cloth. I only have two pairs, and if I lose one, I won't even have a change of clothes..."
"Let's go ask the victims tomorrow."
"I think so."
"What's going on?"
Even late at night, everyone did not disperse, but gathered together and chattered.
Not to mention, almost every compound on this street has been affected. Everyone is really angry. Usually I just think this old lady is a bit mean, but isn't this too immoral? How could she do such a thing behind the scenes.
Everyone gathered together and was filled with indignation, which lasted until the next morning.
Early the next morning, everyone had dark circles under their eyes.
Just thinking about it makes her angry. Wang Xiangxiu rubbed the clothes in the yard angrily, thinking that the clothes belonged to Old Lady Yu. Old Lady Yu stole these clothes yesterday. Fortunately, they found them in time, otherwise her son's clothes would have become fabric for making dolls.
Aunt Zhou was a little absent-minded. The last time she went in there was because of feudal superstition, and this brought back some memories for her.
Bai Fendou cursed, his doll was made of stinky socks. Why wasn't he made of clothes? But then he thought about the fact that Zhuang Zhixi was made of rags, and he felt happier.
The eldest brother doesn’t talk about the second brother.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
He is so unlucky.
He had no connection with the Yu family. If there was any grudge, it was because Yu Baoshan had chased and hacked him. But he was the victim!
Zhuang Zhixi felt both innocent and wronged.
Ming Mei tried to comfort her husband and said, "Okay, don't be angry. Look, she was caught this time. She will definitely go to jail."
Zhuang Zhixi: "His family is too bullying."
Mingmei rubbed Zhuang Zhixi's face and said, "Then you should gather more people today. So many people in the textile factory have been cursed by her, and they definitely can't let it go."
She asked, "Do you want to go and tell someone?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "No need for that. The police station will definitely be able to inform the textile factory about this matter. Besides, other people will definitely be able to tell them too."
Mingmei: "I hope she goes in."
It wasn't that she was cruel, but because the old lady had said something about the child yesterday. Their child was very young, and it was the most worrying thing. Regardless of whether Old Lady Yu was just threatening casually or not, she, as a mother, felt annoyed.
Of course, we must be on guard.
"She actually used the child to threaten people."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Let me go to the police station and talk about this matter."
"I think so."
As expected, last night's incident caused such a big fuss that it spread widely today. As soon as Zhuang Zhixi and others got to work, someone came to inquire about it.
"I heard you are made of rags?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Go away. You are bringing up something irrelevant. I am still angry."
Sister Cui teased: "Xiao Zhuang, how did you offend that old lady?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I was so unlucky to meet their family. It was just her son last time..."
Zhuang Zhixi was not afraid of anything in this matter, as he was originally the victim, but he did not expect that this person would resent him as the victim. His character was too bad.
"Oh no, I heard she even curses other people's chickens?"
"Of course not. You're cursing someone else's dog..."
"Oh my gosh!"
They had never seen this operation in the old society.
What is going on?
Zhuang Zhixi also sighed: "There is something wrong with his family."
Zhuang Zhixi's side was lively, and so were the others. The main reason was that there were too many people that Old Lady Yu hated, so there were quite a lot of people participating. The director of Old Lady Yu's workshop heard that he was cursed for no reason, and he had a gloomy face all day.
He felt deeply that his recent misfortunes were all due to this damn old lady.
Yes, he didn't feel it on normal days, but when he heard that he was cursed, he could immediately find something wrong.
I have to say, this is a psychological effect.
But everyone thought so, and was therefore outraged.
Before he got off work, Bai Fendou came to the Publicity Department to find Zhuang Zhixi and said, "Many of our victims plan to go directly to the police station after get off work. Are you going?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “Go!”
Bai Fendou: "Then wait at the factory gate."
"good."
The victims were divided into two groups, those who were cursed and those who had their things stolen. There were more than 50 people in their factory alone. Of course, some of them were their own family members.
But more people have had things stolen from them than have been cursed.
After all, a pair of socks is not enough to make a rag doll, so a lot of people have their things stolen.
Although the stolen items were small, and only a few people had their clothes stolen, the number was huge. And this was really infuriating! How could they do this? As a family member of a factory worker, to be honest, the factory was also embarrassed.
Another person who was extremely angry was the textile factory. Yu Baoshan was not fired without reason. The whole city knew what happened. It was embarrassing enough that they had such a person in the factory, but they didn't expect it could be even more embarrassing.
The Yu family was being scolded.
Of course, the factory also sent special personnel to the police station to demand severe punishment.
If this matter is not severely punished, how can we convince the public, and the intention is too bad.
Zhuang Zhixi and his team went there after get off work, while Zhao Guihua and her team went there during the day. They went there to record their statements because they were the first ones to catch Old Lady Yu yesterday, although the man tried to steal a chicken but failed.
But it was also stolen.
Zhao Guihua and the others didn't understand how this person could do such a thing until they came back and sat in the yard chatting.
Zhao Guihua: "How will he be held accountable for this matter?"
"Who knows? It's not small."
"Yes, I think it's not a small matter either. Stealing and practicing feudal superstition are both big things."
Zhao Guihua felt a little dazed, but she also understood that each era has its own characteristics. In the current situation of material shortage, what she did was a big deal. But he didn't sympathize with this person. This person could even threaten her with a child. Zhao Guihua wished she could stay in there for a few more years.
I have to say that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law think alike.
Mingmei also hates this family because they use children to threaten people.
Zhao Guihua: "This family is really bad." The family tradition was bad in the previous life, and it is the same in this life.
"Yes, did you hear? She also cursed Old White."
"Oh my god. Could it be that the old man was cursed to death by him?"
"Don't say that. If someone hears us, they'll accuse us of spreading feudal superstition. The old man's death was an accident. Don't we all know what happened at the time?"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
"But what the old man did was too cruel..."
"Don't say that."
"Okay, I won't tell you."
Wang Zizhen did not follow him to the police station. Instead, he asked curiously, "Uncle Bai? What's going on with Uncle Bai?"
Zhao Guihua: "There was also a baby of Old Man Bai in his family, but Old Man Bai died, so she buried the baby under their window. We found out when we went there to record the confession today."
"Ah?" Wang Zizhen was numb.
"I heard that it was Old Man Yu who confessed. He said he didn't do any of that, it was his wife who did it. He tried to persuade them but it was no use, and the rest of the family didn't dare to expose it. But he essentially didn't agree with these things... Anyway, he just wanted to clear himself. In order to clear himself, he also talked a lot about Old Lady Yu. We also heard a lot of her stories when we went there," added Aunt Wang.
"It is true that husband and wife are birds of a feather, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately."
"That's right."
Zhao Guihua: "This old lady Yu is a mean person. I heard that she takes out a doll every night before going to bed and curses and insults it."
She was a little confused and said, "Besides, I heard that she had more in the early years, but when people died, she buried them with the dolls."
"Well……"
Everyone rubbed their arms, feeling that it was so eerie in broad daylight.
No wonder we are not allowed to do such things now, otherwise it would really make people feel dizzy.
"I heard that Mrs. Yu said that this kind of thing is nothing, there are plenty of such things in the countryside. The public security comrades were so angry that they just told them to tell you who did it and expose it. This made Mrs. Yu speechless."
"Zizhen, do you have people doing these things in your mountain village?"
Wang Zizhen thought for a while and said, "I don't know. Maybe there is, maybe not. I don't know. Although our village is remote, we also responded to the call. Even if someone did this, they must have done it secretly."
Everyone shook their heads, saying they really couldn't understand it.
But they were not too shocked. After all, they were all well-informed people and would not be shocked by such a small matter. If anyone was shocked, the most shocked person in their compound was He Lan.
He Lan had never experienced the War of the Gods during the compound's heyday, so looking at this now, she felt that it was really beyond the limit.
Since last night, she hasn't closed her mouth all day and has been moaning non-stop.
I really have no idea.
Zhao Guihua looked at He Lan's shocked and confused expression and said with a smile, "You haven't seen it before, have you?"
He Lan shook her head: "No."
She said, “This is really…”
He couldn't even describe it. Although he was an educated man, he had no idea how to describe it. Anyway, it was outrageous!
"This is nothing. We have a lot of things going on in our compound."
"You'll know later."
"that is!"
Perhaps this matter was so outrageous that Zhang San and his wife, who had gone home to take care of their baby, came back. Even Chen Yuan and Tao Yuye, who had disappeared from the compound for quite a long time, came back. They were all very sad, sad that they had not caught up with such a big thing.
After listening to everyone's words, Chen Yuan pursed his lips slightly and said, "When I first moved here, I also lost a pair of pants."
"ah?"
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
Although Aunt Wang disliked this man who beat his wife, she still reminded him, "Then you have to go to the police station and talk to the police. Then we'll see if his family will compensate him or something. There must be an explanation."
Chen Yuan nodded: "You are right."
He stood up and left. Tao Yuye was stunned, her eyes flashed, and she quickly chased after him: "Chen Yuan, wait a moment."
Chen Yuan turned back impatiently and said, "What are you waiting for? Can't I tell you that I lost something?"
Tao Yuye pursed her lips: "Maybe you put it in the wrong place?"
"How is that possible? I don't know whether my things are lost or not? What's wrong with you? Are you trying to stop me now? Who is in charge of our family, you or me?"
Tao Yuye was very annoyed, but still said, "You are the one who makes the decision. I am afraid that you will make a mistake and then be embarrassed, right?"
"How is that possible! You woman, don't you expect me to do well?"
Tao Yuye: "No..."
Chen Yuan didn't notice it at this time, but others could hardly see it.
This is not right.
Chen Yuan's underpants should not be lost.
Chen Yuan's attitude definitely showed that he was not lying. He thought his things were lost, but maybe Tao Yuye had collected them? In other words, Tao Yuye must know what happened.
Chen Yuan: "Get out of the way!"
Tao Yuye grabbed Chen Yuan and said, "Come on, go home first."
Chen Yuan: “What?”
At this time, he finally realized that something was wrong with Tao Yuye's expression. He frowned and said, "What's the matter? Did you take my pants?"
Tao Yuye: "Come home with me and tell me."
The two of them pulled each other and went home quickly. They looked at each other silently, and Zhang Saner immediately said: "I'm going home too."
He rushed over quickly, clearly intending to eavesdrop.
He is at the forefront of gossip.
Aunt Zhou couldn't help it and went too.
The corners of Zhao Guihua's mouth twitched: "...What is going on?"
Although some people were too embarrassed to eavesdrop, they stretched their necks to look, because they would be able to tell Zhang Saner and his friends when they came back. Even He Lan stretched her neck, extremely curious.
At this time, Tao Yuye had already entered the door with Chen Yuan. She looked outside, slammed the door shut, and whispered, "I took your pants."
"What?"
Chen Yuan looked at Tao Yuye in disbelief and said, "What are you doing with my pants?"
Tao Yuye was a little embarrassed and explained, "I didn't take your pants. I didn't wash them properly and they got torn. I was afraid you would be angry, so I threw them away."
Her eyes flickered and she pretended to be calm.
Chen Yuan slapped her in the face and said, "You stinky bitch, you're still playing tricks on me. You just throw it away when it's broken? Do we have a gold mine at home? Can't you be so frivolous? Can't this be given to my grandfather to wear when it's broken? You actually threw it away, you spendthrift bitch, I'll beat you to death!"
"ah!"
Tao Yuye suddenly remembered that this was in the compound, not at home, so she picked up the frying pan and resisted: "Fight, fight, fight, you only know how to fight, I wasn't born to be beaten by you! You are used to being beaten over there, right? You think I'm easy to bully, right?"
"You still dare to resist?"
"Why can't I resist? Do you think your mother and grandmother are here to protect you?"
"You bitch, I knew you were not a good person, ah..."
"Watch this!"
"I'll beat you to death!"
With a loud bang, the two of them started a full-scale fight in the house.
Zhang Saner, Aunt Zhou and the other eavesdroppers were silent. Zhang Saner sighed and knocked on the door: "Chen Yuan, Tao Yuye, stop fighting!"
"It's none of your business, get out!"
The couple said in unison.
Zhang Saner: “…”
Aunt Zhou laughed at him: "Look, you are meddling in other people's business, aren't you?"
Zhang San: "You really don't know how to appreciate a good person."
"roll!"
"Get out!"
The couple both yelled, and the two of them started to bang their weapons again. It was obvious that they were fighting. It felt like the windows and doors were shaking. Tao Yuye seemed to be holding it in very hard.
Zhang San looked at Aunt Zhou, who was also watching the fun, and asked, "You can't beat him to death, right?"
Aunt Zhou: "That's definitely not possible."
She was sincere: "It's not that easy to beat someone to death. Yesterday we beat up Old Lady Yu, but she was fine."
Zhang Saner: “…”
Because of the noise here, everyone came over now. Zhao Guihua was still pushing the stroller. Xiao Tuan Tuan and Xiao Yuan Yuan heard the noise in the house, kicked their little legs, stretched out their little hands and kept shouting "Ahhh wow wow wow", as if they really wanted to go in.
Zhao Guihua: "Be good, we can't go in."
"Wow!" The little baby started to spit bubbles and became very anxious.
Zhao Guihua: "They are so angry that I dare not bring you in. What if the baby gets hurt?"
“Ahhhhhh!”
Although Xiao Tuan Tuan and Xiao Yuan Yuan were anxious to see the fun, the other children were also very anxious. The ping-pong noise made the children very happy. They thought there was some big toy. Several children were sitting in their strollers and were not being obedient.
But parents don't care.
Everyone is just watching the fun.
Zhao Guihua ignored the anxious children and focused on watching the fun.
The fight in the room continued, Tao Yuye yelled: "Chen Yuan, you are a waste, you can't do anything, without your parents, you are nothing. You are still here to confront me, you dare to hit me, what else dare you do!"
"What good are you? You can't even give birth to a son."
"Bah. I'm fine, I think it's you who can't give birth!"
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
Tao Yuye said angrily: "I'm telling you the truth. I've given your underpants to Daxian'er. She will calm you down. If there's anything wrong between us, it's your fault."
Everyone: Oh no! How come there is another feudal superstitious person here? Besides, what is the grudge between you and Pants? It's outrageous!
