As two police officers escorted him out of his home, Banggeng became frightened, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
"Oh dear, my dear grandson, what sins have we committed? It's all that beast Sha Zhu's fault. He must have instigated my grandson to do this."
Jia Zhangshi chased after them, but she didn't dare to snatch the person from the police, so she could only play the victim in front of her neighbors.
"Everyone, please be the judge! My Banggeng is still a child, only ten years old. How bad could he be? If Shazhu hadn't instigated him to do bad things, how could he have dared to steal?!"
Qin Huairu followed behind, wiping away tears. She felt guilty, but more than anything, she was worried about the punishment her son would face.
“Uncle Policeman, it was all Sha Zhu who made me do it. I’m not lying. He gave me a dollar and said he would keep watch for me and make sure nothing went wrong. That’s how I sneaked into Xu Damao’s house.”
Seeing Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu crying, Bang Geng realized that he had made a big mistake and quickly pushed all the blame onto Sha Zhu, "I was still young and thought it was just a game, so I agreed to let Sha Zhu break into Xu Damao's house to cause trouble."
When Sha Zhu heard Bang Geng trying to pin the blame on him, he no longer cared that the other person was his good sister Qin's son.
"Bang Geng, what nonsense are you spouting?"
“I told you to go in and pee on Xu Damao’s bed, not to cause any damage or steal money. Don’t try to shift the blame onto me.”
Sha Zhu couldn't worry about anything else; his top priority was to protect himself.
If his reputation is ruined, he'll be finished. He's thinking of saving some money so he can find someone to introduce him to a wife in the next couple of years.
Although Sister Qin is good, she is, after all, Jia Dongxu's wife!
Being able to see but not touch is not a good thing. If Jia Dongxu hadn't been hit on the foot by the workpiece last time, but on the head instead, maybe I would have had a chance to get close to Sister Qin.
Right now, I should just take care of myself!
"You bastard, Sha Zhu, what did our family ever do to offend you? You keep ruining our family."
When Jia Dongxu saw Bang Geng being arrested, he was terrified. The amount of money was so huge, and he was afraid that Bang Geng would be sent to a juvenile detention center, at which point everything would be over.
It's safe to say that once a juvenile delinquent enters a juvenile detention center, he might not be able to go back to school after he gets out.
Finding a job after growing up was an even bigger problem. He would never be hired for a regular job like working in a steel mill, and could only find temporary work sweeping the streets.
Sha Zhu didn't care who the other party was in order to protect himself, which fully demonstrated his reckless and unscrupulous personality.
"Jia Dongxu, you son of a bitch, don't give me that. It's your family's bastard who's a piece of trash. He said he'd just take a piss and come out, but who knew he was so young yet so bold, he even dared to steal money, and he stole over two hundred yuan at once. Who can you blame for that?"
"Stop arguing."
The middle-aged policeman stopped both parties and looked at Sha Zhu, "Sha Zhu, right? You're coming with us to the police station to explain."
After saying that, the middle-aged policeman looked at Wang Dabao again: "Comrade Wang, why don't you and the two stewards in charge of the compound come along too?"
"I'll pass. I'm not an eyewitness, so I won't cause any trouble."
Wang Dabao waved his hand, "I hope the police will handle this matter impartially, investigate it thoroughly, and restore a peaceful living environment for us residents of the compound."
"Don't worry, we will definitely get to the bottom of this."
The middle-aged policeman assured them, and then he and the younger policeman handcuffed Sha Zhu and Bang Geng.
Then, he called Xu Damao, the person in charge, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Jia Dongxu, the guardian of Banggeng, and together they walked towards the door.
Madam Jia could no longer hold back. She plopped down on the ground and began to summon the spirit of Old Jia, hoping that Old Jia's spirit in heaven would bless the only son of the Jia family to return safely.
Qin Huairu was also crying her eyes out, and didn't even have the heart to help Jia Zhangshi up.
As darkness fell, the neighbors whispered among themselves for a while before dispersing to cook or eat.
"Da Bao, how about you come over to my place for a bite to eat?"
Yan Bugui, holding the white tape on the temple of his glasses, leaned close to Wang Dabao and spoke in a low voice.
Wang Dabao shook his head: "Forget it, Lao Yan, let's do it next time. I'm a bit tired today, so I'll head back first."
Back home, Wang Dabao used his consciousness to instruct the island's housekeeper to make a bowl of Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste).
Afterwards, I brewed a pot of tea and slumped on the sofa, thinking about the workpiece transport tomorrow.
I had only drunk two cups of tea when the butler had already prepared the noodles with soybean paste.
Wang Dabao locked the door from the inside and slipped into the island space.
Wearing clothes from the 1950s or 60s, yet in a modern farm kitchen, Wang Dabao felt a sense of unreality.
After eating noodles with soybean paste, Wang Dabao, as usual, inspected the farm and warehouse. Then, carrying a beach chair handmade by the butler, he went to the beach and silently signed in.
"Ding, you are rewarding the host with two pet dogs."
"Ding, the host has been rewarded with a certain amount of dog food and canned food, which have been stored in the warehouse."
What is that?
Wang Dabao excitedly sat up from the beach chair.
Wang Dabao, who was a dog lover in his previous life, never expected the system to be so considerate.
But where is the pet dog?
What breed of pet dog?
Just as Wang Dabao was searching around, the butler came over carrying two one-month-old German Shepherd cubs.
Holding the two German Shepherd puppies in his arms and stroking their glossy fur, Wang Dabao felt a strange emotion welling up inside him.
This feeling was strange; the two little ones needed careful care, which stirred a sense of responsibility within him.
Wang Dabao placed the two little creatures, who were constantly wriggling in his arms, on the beach and watched them pinch, bite, chase, and play. He felt that this kind of life was really great.
What names should I call you?
For Wang Dabao, who is terrible at naming things, this was indeed a big problem.
With a thought, a can of dog food appeared in his hand.
Once opened, the two little guys smelled the aroma and rushed over, trying to stop each other from getting there first.
Looking at the two adorable little guys, Wang Dabao smiled. Since coming into this world, he had never felt so warm. He never expected that this moment of happiness would come from the two puppies.
Wang Dabao poured the canned food directly into his hand, and the two little guys excitedly pounced on it to lick it.
After a while, the two little ones, their bellies round from eating, curled up at Wang Dabao's feet and began to doze off.
Seeing this, Wang Dabao picked them up and put them on a beach chair, giving them a small space. The island's space was temperature-controlled, so there was no need to worry about them getting cold. The two dogs and one person quickly fell asleep.
