Chapter 16

"I saw the thief’s appearance with my own eyes!"

"It was Jia Jia Zhangshi’s grandson, Qin Qin Huairu’s son, that Bang Geng!"

Hearing this, everyone in the Sihe Academy was stunned, and they all felt like their ears had heard wrong.

On the contrary, Chen Tian smiled faintly when he saw her say this.

It seems his prediction was indeed correct.

Lou Xiao’e didn't have to go to work, so she should have seen it when the other party was stealing things.

Sha Zhu heard this and was the first to jump out.

"Lou Xiao’e, how can you say such nonsense!"

"You know how old Bang Geng is now, how could he dare to do such a thing!"

Sha Zhu had fantasies about Qin Qin Huairu, so he loved the house and its crow, and was especially caring toward her children.

Although the other party never called him uncle once, and always called him Sha Zhu, he never cared.

But hearing Lou Xiao’e say this, he felt he couldn't bear it and jumped out immediately.

First Uncle heard this name, was stunned for a moment, and then agreed.

After all, Lou Xiao’e couldn't be so calculating with a child.

And now the remaining possibility was indeed Bang Geng.

First Uncle and Sha Zhu were both quite partial to Jia Jia Zhangshi’s family.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't partial to Jia Jia Zhangshi or her useless son.

But partial to that country girl named Qin Qin Huairu.

Originally, Jia Jia Dongxu was someone he wanted to cultivate as a person to support him in his old age.

But he didn't expect the other party to become a cripple.

So he set his sights on Sha Zhu.

But if he wanted Sha Zhu to wholeheartedly support him in his old age, he had to find him a good wife.

And First Uncle could see that Sha Zhu had some thoughts about Qin Qin Huairu.

So he was secretly matchmaking.

Jia Jia Dongxu was a cripple now, although a half-dead cripple.

If Qin Qin Huairu wanted to live a good life, she had to abandon him.

First Uncle’s calculation was much more powerful than Third Uncle’s.

Just let Sha Zhu marry Qin Qin Huairu home.

Then those three children, and his own couple.

Even Jia Jia Zhangshi and the others.

Sha Zhu would either send them back to the countryside or have to support them all.

And just like that, Sha Zhu was treated as a diligent and uncomplaining sucker.

First Uncle heard Lou Xiao’e say this and naturally had to come out to stop it.

Otherwise, if this matter delayed his big plan, it wouldn't be good.

"Xu’s wife, did you see wrong?"

"You know Bang Geng is just a child now!"

"And there are quite a few children about his age in our alley."

First Uncle wanted to take the opportunity to muddy the water a bit, and Xu Xu Damao was dissatisfied when he saw him say this.

"First Uncle, why does what you say sound like there’s something behind it?"

"Do you mean my wife’s eyes have problems, and she can’t recognize the wrong person?"

Sha Zhu immediately started being sarcastic on the side.

"That’s still possible!"

"After all, your wife has been married for so long, and I haven't even seen her lay an egg."

"Xu Xu Damao, is there a problem with your body, or is there a problem with your wife’s body?"

Others in the Sihe Academy heard this and burst into laughter.

Regarding Lou Xiao’e not having children for so long after marrying, they had also discussed it privately quite a bit.

Finally, they unanimously agreed that there was a problem with Xu Xu Damao’s body.

Sha Zhu’s life was ruined by his mouth, and he was as much of a scoundrel as anyone else.

This had also been Xu Xu Damao’s knot for a long time.

You know, after being married to his wife for so long, there was no movement in her stomach, and he was also a bit depressed.

Xu Xu Damao was instantly anxious; this was simply pointing at him and scolding!

"Sha Zhu, you scoundrel!"

Lou Xiao’e’s temper also flared up, and she pointed at the other party’s nose and scolded.

"You are a scoundrel!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I’m a scoundrel, and I’m not even a man!"

"You know, in the whole world, there are no men except your Xu Xu Damao!"

"I think even this matter of Bang Geng is because you are jealous that others can have children, and you can’t, so you made it up!"

Lou Xiao’e was about to cry from anxiety at this moment.

She had never suffered such grievances since she was a child?

Being mocked by Sha Zhu like this, she was about to cry out loud.

Xu Xu Damao’s eyes turned red instantly; the other party not only mocked himself but also mocked their couple!

"Xu Xu Damao, what do you want to do!"

First Uncle watched Xu Xu Damao about to take action and hurriedly shouted.

"Do you think this matter isn't troublesome enough?"

"Are you still complaining that this matter isn't troublesome enough?"

"But now that my home has been broken into, not only do you obstruct me at every turn, but you also indulge Sha Zhu’s filthy mouth to insult a woman?"

"Tell me, Yi Yi Zhonghai, is this your so-called management style?"

"Since everyone is here today, I’m not afraid to lay it all out on the table!"

"Seeing how you handle things today, I assume you don't put much thought into these matters, and you don't even take the organization's teachings to heart!"

"It seems I must have a serious talk with the factory leadership and have them investigate your daily conduct!"

The others watched Chen Tian point his finger and berate the First Uncle, feeling quite satisfied.

The First Uncle was so frightened by these words that he dared not retort.

Anyone with eyes could see that he had indeed shown Sha Zhu a great deal of favoritism.

Moreover, the other party was right; if Sha Zhu’s words were to spread outside, it would certainly cause a negative impact.

He might even end up spending two or three years in the station.

However, none of that was important; what the First Uncle feared most right now was what Chen Tian had just said about going to the leadership.

With his current status as a Senior Engineer, the factory leadership would certainly take this issue seriously.

And while he was a veteran employee, he was merely a fitter who could be replaced at any time; he simply couldn't compare to the other party.

At that point, his position and his job would be at the mercy of Chen Tian’s whim.

So, he could only keep his mouth tightly shut, not daring to say a word for fear of annoying him.

Xu Xu Damao and his wife were also quite moved to see Chen Tian standing up for them.

One must know that in this Sihe Academy, everyone else was a fence-sitter; only Chen Tian was able to stand up and listen to them at this moment.

"Xu Xu Damao, go to the station now."

Seeing the First Uncle close his mouth, Chen Tian calmly instructed.

On the other side, Sha Zhu and his group turned green in the face upon hearing this.

"Come to think of it, where is the Jia family?"

"I remember they were the ones who loved watching the excitement most, weren't they?"

"Indeed, we’ve been making such a scene for a while now, why haven't we seen anyone from the Jia family?"

Hearing the discussion around him, the Third Uncle scanned the area a few times and then spoke up.

"Could it be that Lou Lou Xiaoe was right, and Bang Geng really is the thief?"

Hearing the Third Uncle say this, the others in the Sihe Academy also began to scan their surroundings.

"The Third Uncle is right, why haven't we seen a single person from the Jia family?"

"I remember Jia Jia Zhangshi loves to join in the fun; why is she so quiet today?"

"I think the Third Uncle is right; the thief must have come from the Jia family, and they’re probably hiding away, afraid to show their faces."

"Why not bring Bang Geng over and ask him properly?"

Hearing these discussions, the First Uncle’s face grew even gloomier.

Even the Deaf Old Lady, an elderly woman of her age, had come over upon hearing the commotion, yet not a single representative from the Jia family had appeared.

Those who understood the implications of this, understood.

Even the First Uncle, who usually favored the Jia family, dared not say anything more now.

If things turned out as he feared, it would be troublesome.

Chen Tian stood by, watching them discuss with a very calm expression.

He had long noticed that no one from the Jia family had come, but to him, it didn't matter.

In any case, as long as he reported it to the police and they investigated, even if they hid, they would be dragged out.

"Qin Qin Huairu, come over here!"

"Your son stole something, come out now!"

"If you don't come out, we really are going to call the police!"

Xu Xu Damao, getting into the spirit, raised his voice and shouted.

His wife said Bang Geng was the thief, and honestly, he found it a bit surprising.

Xu Xu Damao was a notorious lecher, often involved in shady dealings with other female workers at the factory, and occasionally taking small liberties.

And he had long coveted someone like Qin Qin Huairu.

But because she was close to Sha Zhu for the sake of her family, he had long been quite jealous.

Although he had a slight interest in Qin Qin Huairu, she didn't pay much attention to him.

Now that there was an opportunity to settle the score, Xu Xu Damao certainly wouldn't let it pass.

Sha Zhu, don't you love Qin Qin Huairu’s son the most?

Then I’ll send him to prison!

At this moment, Xu Xu Damao felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

"What should we do? Chen Tian and the others know it was Bang Geng who took the things."

"Now they say they’re going to the station to report it!"

Hearing the shouting outside, Qin Qin Huairu felt a sudden panic.

However, this panic was mixed more with frustration at her son for not living up to expectations.
