Chapter 112: This time, let's see how he dodges!
Jia Family.
Jia Zhangshi stood in front of the window looking outside.
When she saw Qin Huairu appear within sight carrying a bag that looked heavy, she hurried back to the table, put on her reading glasses, and began sewing.
Every day as quitting time approached, she would stand by the window to look outside.
She mainly wanted to see whether Qin Huairu would come back together with Shazhu.
She had always been worried that Shazhu and Qin Huairu already had some shady relationship.
If she found evidence, she would definitely drive Qin Huairu away.
Watching Qin Huairu was one aspect.
On the other hand, she wanted Qin Huairu to think she was not lazy.
After Qin Huairu went to work, she continued doing chores at home.
When Qin Huairu walked in, brought out the lunch box, and took a white steamed bun from her bag to put inside, her gaze went blank and she also furrowed her brows.
She always suspected these white steamed buns had an unclear source and were unclean.
Qin Huairu also noticed her looking at her.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to suppress her displeasure, turned her head, and said to Jia Zhangshi:
"Don't look at me."
"Are you complaining again that the buns aren't clean?"
"If you think they're unclean, don't eat them."
You wish!
"With such delicious white steamed buns, why shouldn't I eat them?"
"Do you expect me to gnaw on those hard cornbread rolls?"
She let out a nasal sound, and Jia Zhangshi said angrily:
"I didn't say anything."
Qin Huairu, while taking the bun from her bag and putting it in the lunch box, said:
"Not saying it doesn't mean I didn't think it."
Jia Zhangshi became even more upset.
Qin Huairu then said:
"I need to hide a few buns."
"Eating fine grain every day has made my mouth water."
"Let's steam some cornbread to eat tonight."
The next morning.
Yan Bu Gui picked up his fishing rod, opened the door, lifted the door curtain, and went out.
When he took out the bicycle key and walked toward the bike parked by the wall, he suddenly froze.
The next second.
He muttered to himself, "Where is my bicycle?"
Then.
He looked around but still didn't see the bicycle.
He was dumbfounded.
He had clearly locked the bicycle.
The key was still in his hand.
How did it just disappear like that?
Could it be that Jie Cheng rode it away?
But if he didn't take it, could he have pried the lock open?
This good-for-nothing thing— isn't the lock broken?
Thinking this, he dropped the fishing rod and ran toward the house.
Last night, Yu Li wanted to borrow his bicycle.
He didn't agree.
He had originally wanted Yu Li to change a tire.
As long as Yu Li agreed, he would lend it.
Who knew Yu Li wouldn't agree?
So he didn't lend it.
Tomorrow, riding his bicycle out of the city to fish for food— wouldn't that be great?
San Da Ma was about to go back to sleep when she saw Yan Bu Gui and hurriedly asked:
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Leaving early gets you a good spot."
Yan Bu Gui wore a sullen face and said:
"What's there to leave for?"
"This, this Eldest Son is playing tricks."
"Our bicycle is gone."
San Da Ma furrowed her brows and asked:
"Did the daughter-in-law ride it away?"
Yan Bu Gui let out a cold snort and said:
"Besides her, who else could it be?"
"He rode off, that's fine, but the point is he forced the lock open—humph, he has to pay for the lock."
San Da Ma: "Then I'll go talk to the Eldest Son."
Yan Bu Gui: "Alright, alright, alright, early in the morning, you're making the neighbors laugh at us."
After saying that, he shook his head and walked outside.
San Da Ma asked: "What are you going out for?"
Yan Bu Gui said impatiently: "What are you going out for? I'm just taking a stroll, is that not allowed?"
As he walked out of the Siheyuan, Yan Bu Gui saw his bicycle parked by the gate, the front wheel missing.
He hurried over, bent down, and examined it closely.
Then.
Suddenly he ran toward the courtyard.
Running, he shouted loudly: "Terrible, terrible, everyone come out and see!"
"Our courtyard has been burgled."
"Everyone, check your things to see if anything is missing."
"Our courtyard has been invaded by thieves."
Lin Shengli was having breakfast with Zheng Juan in the house when he heard the shouting and couldn't help but laugh.
Zheng Juan: "You're still laughing."
"San Da Ye said our courtyard has been broken into by thieves."
Lin Shengli laughed and said: "An inside job."
Zheng Juan: "What?"
Lin Shengli: "This is Shazhu's doing."
Zheng Juan: "Ah?"
"How do you know?"
Lin Shengli: "I'm clairvoyant."
Zheng Juan laughed: "Look at you getting all pleased with yourself."
"Then tell me what Shazhu stole."
"What else did San Da Ye lose?"
Lin Shengli: "I say you're really quite stupid."
"You can even ask such a question."
Zheng Juan: "Really annoying!"
"Hurry up and say it."
"Don't keep us in suspense."
Lin Shengli: "What San Da Ye lost isn't just what Shazhu stole, is it?"
"You're asking two more questions."
"Why not just ask San Da Ye directly what he lost?"
"Oh dear, how did I fall in love with such a stupid pig?"
Zheng Juan laughed: "You can still regret it now."
"Hurry up and say, what did San Da Ye lose?"
Lin Shengli: "The bicycle wheel, the front wheel."
Having a god's-eye view, Lin Shengli naturally knows what Yan Bu Gui lost.
Zheng Juan stared blankly: "Ah? No way? Shazhu, why would he steal a bicycle wheel?"
Lin Shengli: "To get revenge on San Da Ye."
"I heard that Shazhu brought a gift and asked San Da Ye to set him up with a match."
"San Da Ye took the gift but didn't follow through."
"Shazhu, in anger, took revenge on him."
Zheng Juan: "Really?"
"Then San Da Ye was also a bit over the line."
"Who takes a gift and doesn't act on it?"
"But Shazhu's way of revenge is also wrong."
"Doesn't he know theft is a serious crime?"
"If San Da Ye reports it to the police, he's done for."
"Will he still have his job?"
Just then, a knocking sound came suddenly.
Zheng Juan went over and opened the door; it turned out to be Xu Damao.
Seeing Zheng Juan, Xu Damao nodded, gave a greeting, and then asked:
"Is Shengli at home?"
Zheng Juan: "He's in, come in."
Saying that, she stepped aside.
Xu Damao walked in.
Zheng Juan turned her head and glanced at him, saying:
"Shengli, I'll go out and have a look."
Lin Shengli nodded.
Xu Damao sat opposite Lin Shengli and said happily:
"Shengli, you're really impressive."
"I never expected you to guess that Shazhu would steal San Da Ye's bicycle wheel."
"That's right."
Yesterday at noon, Lin Shengli had already told Xu Damao.
Saying that Shazhu would steal Yan Bu Gui's bicycle wheel tonight.
Although Xu Damao said he believed Lin Shengli at the time, he actually didn't believe him.
However.
What surprised him was that Lin Shengli actually guessed correctly.
Just now, he asked Yan Bu Gui to his face.
Yan Bu Gui told him the front wheel of his bicycle was missing, and he was so shocked on the spot that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Well, what should we do next?"
Xu Damao asked.
"Shazhu just wants to play, right? Let's slowly play with him."
Lin Shengli said, hooking his finger at Xu Damao.
Xu Damao hurriedly stood up, walked over and sat beside him.
Lin Shengli leaned close to his ear and said a few words.
Xu Damao nodded repeatedly.
"This Shazhu, I wonder how he'll get away this time."
