Chapter 166
Dong Dong Xiaoxue took the osmanthus cake and took a bite.
It was moist, soft, sweet, and delicious, with a rich, refreshing scent of osmanthus.
Dong Dong Xiaoxue said: "Brother Cao, you've spent too much. This osmanthus cake must be very expensive."
Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: "A few pastries can hardly be called spending too much."
After staying at the Dong house for a while, Cao Cao Weiguo left behind a stack of industrial coupons and said goodbye.
In the Dong house, there were pitifully few things.
Because they didn't have formal jobs, industrial coupons were extremely rare for the Dong sisters.
Happily counting the industrial coupons, Dong Dong Xiaoshuang pulled on her sister and asked curiously:
"Sister... what kind of work does Brother Cao Weiguo do?"
"Where does Brother Cao Weiguo live?"
"How old is Brother Cao Weiguo?"
"Is Brother Cao Weiguo going to be my brother-in-law?"
Dong Dong Xiaoxue's pretty face turned red, and she glared at her sister: "Don't talk nonsense."
Dong Dong Xiaoshuang pouted: "I think Brother Cao Weiguo wants to be my brother-in-law; otherwise, why would he give our family so many things."
Looking at the chicken, pork, and pastries on the table, as well as the stack of industrial coupons,
Dong Dong Xiaoxue also had some doubts about Cao Cao Weiguo's motives, and she couldn't help but blush and feel her heart race.
Could it be that Cao Cao Weiguo really had taken a liking to her?
After Cao Cao Weiguo left the Dong house, he went to find Liu Shan.
The farm's output was increasing more and more; if he didn't increase the volume of goods sold, the warehouse wouldn't be able to hold it all.
Grain and medicinal herbs were fine; they could be stored on the farm.
But meat, fruit, and vegetables couldn't; if they weren't put into the storage space, they would spoil and rot.
He couldn't bear to waste them!
Since the storage space couldn't hold them and he didn't want to waste them, he had no choice but to increase sales and reduce inventory backlog.
Cao Cao Weiguo hadn't been in business, but he knew he couldn't do the stupid thing of wanting the horse to run while not letting it eat grass.
In order to improve the enthusiasm for work and effectively increase the sales of supplies,
at the small courtyard Liu Shan rented, Cao Cao Weiguo also doubled Liu Shan's commission.
The sudden windfall left Liu Shan incredibly excited, feeling that his future days were full of promise.
He patted his chest and promised to go through fire and water for Cao Cao Weiguo!
Regarding this, Cao Cao Weiguo appeared very satisfied and happily rewarded Liu Shan with a stack of industrial coupons, making Sun Chao and Zhao Zhao Yuanchao incredibly envious.
Sihe Academy.
Jia Jia Zhangshi was sewing shoe soles at her doorway, and after seeing Song Song Yulan leave, she immediately shouted:
"Big grandson, come out quickly."
Hearing this, Bang Geng ran out from the room, his little face flushed with excitement:
"Grandma, can I go to Cao Cao Weiguo's house now!"
Jia Jia Zhangshi nodded with a smile: "Yes, Grandma will keep watch for you, go quickly and get the good stuff."
"Grandma, you just wait, I'm going now."
Jia Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng went to the back courtyard together and began to divide the labor.
Jia Jia Zhangshi was responsible for keeping watch, and Bang Geng was responsible for the action.
Bang Geng ran to Cao Cao Weiguo's house and discovered there was a lock on the door.
But for the Thief Saint, this was simply not a problem.
Seeing that the window was open, he climbed into the room through the window.
Then, like a rat, he moved through the room, heading straight for the cupboard with a clear goal.
"This dog's house has so much good food."
"If you won't give me food, I'll take it myself."
Looking at the roasted peanuts, candies, and pastries in the cupboard, Bang Geng rubbed his hands in excitement.
He grabbed handfuls of peanuts and candies, stuffing them into his pockets all at once, and when they couldn't fit anymore, he took half a pack of osmanthus cakes.
Entering the kitchen, Bang Geng took down another piece of preserved meat.
Cao Cao Weiguo's house had too many good things!
He would come back to take more when he had the chance!
Full of joy, Bang Geng returned the way he came, climbing out of the room through the window with agile movements.
"Good grandson, let's go home quickly."
Seeing Bang Geng climb out, Jia Jia Zhangshi beckoned happily.
The grandmother and grandson went home in high spirits to divide the loot, while the Deaf Old Lady sat in her room by the window.
She saw this scene clearly but didn't think about going out to stop it.
Bang Geng stealing from Cao Cao Weiguo actually made her somewhat happy.
Cao Cao Weiguo didn't give her face, and she had kept that in mind.
Because Cao Cao Weiguo was hosting guests tonight, Song Song Yulan had bought quite a lot of vegetables from the market.
She opened the lock and returned home, carrying the things she bought into the kitchen.
When she came out of the kitchen, she suddenly saw some peanuts and candies on the floor near the window.
This was because Bang Geng's pockets were too full, and they inevitably fell out when he climbed the window.
Looking at the peanuts and candies on the floor and then at the open window, Song Song Yulan's mind went blank.
She hurriedly opened the cupboard, and then her face turned blue with anger.
"Someone stole something!"
"Everyone, come quickly! There's a thief in the courtyard!"
She had lost quite a few peanuts and candies, as well as the osmanthus cake she loved but couldn't bear to eat.
Entering the kitchen, she discovered the preserved meat was also gone.
Song Song Yulan couldn't take it, and in her anger, she opened the door and shouted.
Immediately, the entire Sihe Academy was alarmed.
At this hour, the children had just finished school, and the adults hadn't finished work yet.
The elderly, women, and children in the courtyard all ran out upon hearing there was a thief.
The Third Lady took the lead and walked to the Cao house: "Song Yulan, what happened?"
Song Song Yulan pulled the Third Lady into the room and pointed angrily at the cupboard and the peanuts and candies dropped under the window:
"While I was out buying vegetables, my house was robbed by a thief."
"I lost a lot of peanuts and candies, as well as quite a bit of osmanthus cake and preserved meat."
The Third Lady said: "This is outrageous. You wait, I'm going to the neighborhood office to report this."
The First Lady stood up: "Old Yan's wife, don't report it yet. Wait a while until Old Yi and Old Yan get off work. Let them investigate first; if they can't find any leads, it won't be too late to report it then."
Actually, when the First Lady heard Song Song Yulan shouting about a thief, she had already guessed something.
She happened to see Jia Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng go to the back courtyard from her room.
A moment later, Bang Geng returned home with a bag of things, following Jia Jia Zhangshi.
When Song Song Yulan returned home from the market, she discovered her house had been robbed.
How could the First Lady not know what was going on?
It was just that, due to the relationship between the Jia family and the Yi family, the First Lady didn't want to expose them, nor did she want to take the matter to the neighborhood office.
If the police station came to investigate, could that grandmother and grandson from the Jia family escape?
Song Song Yulan wanted to report it, but since the First Lady had spoken, she decided to wait.
After work, the men from each family returned to the Sihe Academy one after another.
Hearing that the Cao house had been robbed, they couldn't even bother to eat and flooded into the back courtyard.
When Cao Cao Weiguo returned home, the First Master, Second Master, and Third Master were examining the scene.
Song Song Yulan complained to Cao Cao Weiguo angrily, which made Cao Cao Weiguo's heart burn with fire.
