Chapter 294: The Thief Saint Climbs the Window
Sihe Academy
Jia Zhangshi was sewing shoe soles at her doorstep, and after seeing Song Yulan go out, she immediately shouted:
"Great grandson, come out quickly."
Hearing the voice, Banggeng ran out of the room, his small face flushed with excitement:
"Grandma, can we go to Cao Weiguo's house now!"
Jia Zhangshi nodded with a smile: "You can. Grandma will watch for people for you; you go quickly and get the good stuff."
"Grandma, you wait; I'm going now."
Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng went to the backyard together and then began to divide the work.
Jia Zhangshi was responsible for keeping watch, and Banggeng was responsible for the action.
Banggeng ran to Cao Weiguo's house, only to find a lock hanging on the door.
However, this was simply not a problem for the Thief Saint.
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 cabinet with a clear goal.
"This dog thing has so much good food in his house."
"If you don't give me food, I'll just take it myself."
Looking at the roasted peanuts, candies, and pastries in the cabinet, Banggeng rubbed his hands in excitement.
He grabbed handfuls of peanuts and candies, stuffed them into his pockets all at once, and after they couldn't hold any more, he carried away half a bag of osmanthus cakes.
Entering the kitchen, Banggeng took down another piece of bacon.
There were too many good things in Cao Weiguo's house!
He would come back to take more if he had the chance!
Full of joy, Banggeng returned the way he came and climbed out of the room through the window with agile movements.
"Good grandson, let's go home quickly."
Seeing Banggeng climb out, Jia Zhangshi beckoned happily.
The grandmother and grandson went home joyfully to divide the loot, while the Deaf Old Lady sat in the room by the window.
She saw this scene clearly but didn't think about going out to stop it.
Banggeng stole from Cao Weiguo's house, and she was actually a bit happy.
Cao Weiguo didn't give her face, and she had kept that in her heart.
Because Cao Weiguo was going to host guests tonight, Song Yulan had bought quite a few vegetables from the vegetable market.
She opened the lock, returned home, and carried the things she bought into the kitchen.
When she came out of the kitchen, she suddenly saw peanuts and candies on the floor near the window.
This was because Banggeng'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 looking at the open window, Song Yulan's head went blank.
She hurriedly opened the cabinet, and then her whole 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 liked to eat but couldn't bear to eat.
Entering the kitchen, she found that the bacon was also gone.
How could Song Yulan stand this? She opened the door in a hurry and shouted.
Immediately, the entire Sihe Academy was alarmed.
At this time, the children had just finished school not long ago, and the adults hadn't finished work yet.
The elderly, women, and children in the courtyard all ran out when they heard there was a thief in the courtyard.
The Third Aunt took the lead and walked to the Cao house: "Yulan, what's wrong?"
Song Yulan pulled the Third Aunt into the house and pointed angrily at the cabinet and the peanuts and candies dropped under the window:
"In the time it took me to go out to buy 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 bacon."
The Third Aunt said: "This is outrageous. You wait; I'll go to the neighborhood office to report the case."
The First Aunt stood out: "Old Yan's, don't go report the case yet. Wait a while longer; Old Yi and Old Yan will be off work soon. Let them investigate first; it won't be too late to report it if they can't find any clues."
Actually, when the First Aunt heard Song Yulan shouting about a thief, she had already guessed something.
She happened to see Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng go to the backyard from her room.
In a short while, Banggeng followed Jia Zhangshi home carrying a bag of things.
When Song Yulan returned home from the vegetable market, she found her house had been robbed.
Could the First Aunt not have a clue about what was going on?
It was just that because of the relationship between the Jia family and the Yi family, the First Aunt found it difficult to expose them, and she didn't want to make a scene at the neighborhood office.
If the police station came to investigate, could that grandmother and grandson from the Jia family run away?
Song Yulan wanted to report the case, but the First Aunt had spoken, so she would wait.
After work, the men of each family returned to the Sihe Academy one after another.
Hearing that the Cao house had been robbed, they couldn't care about eating and flooded into the backyard.
When Cao Weiguo returned home, the First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle were inspecting the scene.
Song Yulan complained to Cao Weiguo angrily, which made Cao Weiguo's heart burn with fire. ===== CHAPTER 296 =====
